The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

Chapter 346 United Fleet

"Your Majesty, I have made all the necessary arrangements, but the Inca are newly established, and security in various places is still unstable."

"Therefore, these officials may need soldiers to escort them to their posts. I beg Your Majesty to grant this."

After everything was arranged, Zhang Juzheng returned to report.

"Well, you have a point, but I don't have that many soldiers to deploy right now."

"How about this: provincial officials can take up their posts later and make arrangements for the counties first."

"Each county magistrate is assigned 50 soldiers to maintain public order in the county government office, ensuring its stability and preventing riots and conflicts."

Ning Quan pondered.

"Your Majesty, only at the county level?"

"Don't we have enough troops?"

Hearing Ning Quan's words, Zhang Juzheng frowned.

"Yes, at the moment we can mobilize less than 30,000 troops."

"But there are 30,000 soldiers on the way. The situation will be alleviated once these soldiers arrive."

"And you don't have to worry too much. Apart from the Inca, there is no country in the entire Americas. At most, there are some weak tribes."

"At least from the outside, there's no threat. You just need to ensure internal stability."

Ning Quan said slowly.

"I see, Your Majesty is wise."

Zhang Juzheng suddenly realized what was going on.

"Hahaha, I understand."

"Alright, General Li Ji should be back. I've sent someone to look for him. When he arrives, you two can meet and discuss what's next."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

.......

A quarter of an hour later, Li Ji returned.

"See Your Majesty!"

"No gifts."

"General Li, this is Zhang Juzheng, the beloved minister, who has been appointed by me as the Governor-General of the Inca. He will be in charge of the daily affairs of the Inca from now on."

Ning Quan pointed at Zhang Juzheng and said.

"I've met Mr. Zhang!"

Li Ji clasped his fists and said respectfully.

"General Li, you're welcome. We'll be working together in the future, so please take care of me."

Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly.

"Haha, Lord Zhang, you are too polite. This is what I should do."

Li Ji smiled.

"Okay, enough small talk, General Li, please cooperate with Master Zhang in your work from now on."

"The last general takes orders."

Li Ji bowed and said

"Well, in that case, I feel relieved and can leave now."

Ning Quan waved his hand.

"Ah...Your Majesty, are you leaving now?"

Li Ji was stunned.

"Yes, now that things here are done, I will naturally go back."

"There are still many things to deal with. The war in Central and South China is raging right now. I also need to go and see General Chen and General Guan."

Ning Quan said calmly.

"Yes, I understand."

Li Ji said respectfully.

"Well, then, I'll leave everything here in your hands, my dear ministers. I'll leave tomorrow morning."

"If there is anything difficult, just contact me directly."

Ning Quan looked at the two of them and said.

"I obey the order!"

The two said respectfully.

"Well, I'm leaving now. My two beloved ministers, please stay."

Ning Quan waved his hand and said, then turned and left

The next morning.

At dawn, Ning Quan took Li Wanyue and Jin Xiaozhu away in a flying car.

Zhang Juzheng and Li Ji came to see him off.

Half a day later, Ning Quan returned to the Port of Santiago.

After meeting with Zheng Chenggong and giving him some instructions, Ning Quan left with Liu Rengui's navy and headed for Maguana.

.........

Five days later, the fleet arrived at Maguana Harbor.

Chen Qingzhi went to the dock to greet them in person.

"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear. Please stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Qingzhi stood up.

"How is it going? Did you take Cuba?"

Ning Quan asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, we have taken it. Next, I will prepare to march north."

Chen Qingzhi reported.

"Well, that's right. You should try to meet up with General Guan as soon as possible!"

"It would be great if you could all connect."

Ning Quan nodded.

"The general will obey the order!"

"Your Majesty, many slave ships have arrived from Africa recently. I have purchased a number of black slaves according to your Majesty's instructions."

"Oh? How many black slaves are there?"

"Which country are these slave ships from?"

Ning Quan asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, I have purchased more than 20,000 black slaves."

"These slave ships all came from various European countries."

Chen Qingzhi replied.

"So, all European countries know about the existence of America. From now on, your burden will probably be even heavier."

Ning Quan nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but with our current strength, we are not afraid of anyone who comes!"

Chen Qingzhi said coldly.

He now has the soldiers he wants, the navy he wants, and even more powerful coastal defense artillery.

He is not afraid even if the European countries join forces.

"Yeah, too."

"Whatever. They'll find out sooner or later, and we need more slaves."

"Speaking of black slaves, remember to give some to General Guan and General Zheng later. They still don't know what black slaves look like. Let them get familiar with them as soon as possible."

"When we have more slaves, they'll need them there too."

Ning Quan gave the order with a smile.

"Yes, I understand."

Chen Qingzhi bowed and said.

As they were talking, Ning Quan and his group arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

As a result, just after entering the City Lord's Mansion and before taking a seat, Ning Quan suddenly saw Felicitus running in hurriedly.

"Eh? Your Majesty?"

"I see your Majesty."

Philippis was surprised to find Ning Quan here, and hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects.

"Hahaha, Filius, we meet again!"

"You ran away in a panic, but what happened?"

Ning Quan helped Felicius up and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I have just received news that the Portuguese and French fleets are heading towards us."

Filius said in a deep voice.

"What? The Portuguese and French fleets? Are they here for revenge?"

Ning Quan frowned.

"Yes, sire."

"The news is absolutely true. It was told to me by several slave traders."

"They said that Portugal was worried about its lack of strength, so it joined forces with France to send troops."

"It is said that the fleet is large, with two to three hundred ships, at least one-fifth of which are warships."

Felicius said with a serious expression.

"Haha, this is a full-scale attack."

Ning Quan chuckled.

"Your Majesty, should we prepare early?"

Filius said worriedly.

"Don't worry, we will certainly make preparations."

"Well, go find out where these merchants encountered the combined fleet and how long it's expected to arrive."

Ning Quan ordered.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll go right away!"

Felicius nodded and turned to leave.
