Chapter 338 Inca Capital
"Your Majesty, we have now confirmed that Daqian possesses extremely powerful cannons that are completely invincible."
Fernando Barov, one of the three major think tanks, reminded.
"Hmph! Then tell me what we should do!"
Upon hearing this, the Inca emperor expressed dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, I think we should negotiate peace with Daqian."
Fernando Barov pondered.
"Hmm? Peace talks? How to make peace?" The Inca emperor frowned.
"Your Majesty, the Daqian people came here simply to seek land, and our American land is vast. They can easily occupy other lands without having to fight us to the death."
"It's easy for you to say that, but will Daqian agree?"
The Inca Emperor said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as we provide enough money, food, women, etc., I believe Daqian will definitely agree!" Fernando Barov said affirmatively.
"Well, that's a good idea."
The Inca Emperor nodded.
America is vast and fertile, with plenty of unowned land. Daqian can occupy it at will. As long as he shows enough sincerity, Daqian should agree.
"Okay, since you were the one who proposed this matter, then you should contact Daqian and discuss peace with them." said the Inca Emperor.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fernando Barov nodded.
.......
On the other hand, Ning Quan had no idea that the Inca emperor wanted to negotiate peace.
Of course, even if Ning Quan knew, he would never agree.
It was imperative to destroy the Inca Empire, and Ningquan would never allow another empire to exist in the Americas.
America is peaceful and safe, and no one is allowed to interfere.
After three days of rest, everything was ready and Ning Quan personally led the army towards the Inca capital.
A total of 37,000 people went on this expedition. Except for the 3,000 who stayed behind, all the rest were dispatched.
Although the Inca Empire's combat power was not good, Ning Quan would not be too careless, after all, the size of the Inca Empire was there.
"Pass the order, the vanguard team should not advance too far and pay attention to safety." Ning Quan gave the order.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Ji accepted the order.
.........
The army marched towards the Inca capital.
Because the enemy was defeated and the Inca emperor decided to negotiate peace.
Therefore, the army encountered no obstacles along the way and marched smoothly at an extremely fast speed.
In just ten days, the army was less than two hundred miles away from the Inca capital.
At this moment, Ning Quan met Fernando Barov who was ordered to come for peace talks.
Ning Quan was amused when he learned that Fernando Barov came to negotiate peace with him on behalf of the Inca Emperor.
He didn't understand why the Inca emperor would think of making peace with him.
Ning Quan’s goal is to destroy the Inca Empire!
Is this something that can be negotiated?
But no matter what, since they have sent an envoy, we can't not meet him in person.
So Ning Quan met with Fernando Barov in the camp.
"Hello, Honorable General Daqian. I am Fernando Barov. I am here to negotiate with Daqian on behalf of the Inca royal family."
Arriving at the tent, Fernando Barov bowed.
Fernando Barov is a short, fat man in his sixties with some freckles on his face.
But he is in good health and looks energetic, perhaps because he has some good health preservation skills.
“Oh? How do you want to talk?”
Ning Quan asked with a faint smile.
"We, the Inca Empire, wish to coexist peacefully with Daqian and hope that Daqian will withdraw from our territory."
“In return, we are willing to pay a generous compensation.”
Fernando Barov said respectfully.
"compensate?"
Ning Quan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect such a good thing to happen.
"Yes, as long as Daqian can withdraw from our land and promise not to attack our Inca Empire again, this compensation will definitely be generous enough."
"General, America is vast and has many unowned territories. You can occupy these territories at will. There is absolutely no need to go to war with us Incas!"
Fernando Barov continued to persuade.
Hearing this, Ning Quan couldn't help but laugh.
The Inca emperor really thought he was a fool!
It is true that there are many unowned territories in South America, but most of them are virgin forests, which are not places where humans can go.
Even though the remaining areas are not virgin forests, they have not been cultivated and are sparsely populated.
The Inca Empire not only occupied the best plains area with fertile land, but also had a large population.
Ning Quan not only wants land, but also values population.
That's not even the point.
The key is that if you want to control South America, the Inca Empire cannot exist.
Therefore, it is impossible to stop the war.
"General Fernando, do you think I will agree?" Ning Quan smiled coldly.
"General, why not? Isn't this a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?"
Fernando Barov was surprised and had no idea what Ning Quan was thinking!
"Haha, sorry."
"I'm not interested in other places. I'm only interested in your Inca Empire."
"So, let's not even talk about it, unless you're willing to surrender."
Ning Quan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and spoke directly.
"surrender?"
Fernando Barov was stunned.
"Yes, surrender. Otherwise, your Inca Empire will soon become history!" Ning Quan said with a sneer.
"you!"
Hearing this, Fernando Barov was extremely angry.
It's so abominable.
Do you really think the Inca Empire is easy to bully?
The Incas are no pushovers!
"Well, in that case, there is no room for negotiation!" Fernando Barov said angrily.
"Of course, there was no room for negotiation."
"So, Mr. Fernando Barov, you can go now!" Ning Quan waved his hand.
“Okay, very good.”
"Farewell!"
Fernando Barov said angrily.
He turned around and left the camp with his guards.
........
Three days later, news of Ning Quan's refusal to negotiate reached the Inca Empire.
Upon hearing the news, the Inca emperor was furious.
The ministers were also extremely indignant and demanded that the Inca emperor fight a decisive battle with Daqian.
With the support of his ministers, the Inca emperor immediately ordered the assembly of the army and vowed to resist Daqian to the death.
Three more days passed like this.
The Daqian army is approaching!
Looking at Daqian's army of less than 40,000, the Inca emperor felt relieved.
At least in terms of military strength, the Inca Empire had an absolute advantage, which gave the Inca emperor more confidence.
His only worry now was Daqian's artillery.
He had never seen with his own eyes the power of the Daqian artillery.
But through the descriptions of the two legion commanders, the Inca emperor deeply realized the power of artillery.
However, the Inca emperor believed that he could defeat Daqian with his military strength and strong city walls.
No wonder he was so confident, as three and a half legions of the empire, totaling 250,000 people, had gathered in the imperial city.
And the capital city of Cusco is indeed very large and strong.
The city wall is nearly twenty meters high and seventy to eighty meters wide, with extremely strong defensive capabilities.
This ancient city was built in the early days of the Inca Empire.
It took twenty years and huge cost to finally build it.
It is indeed difficult to conquer such a city.
