The Fall of the Golden Empire (Novel) (Volume 1) "Bloody Sunset" by Zhang Baotong
The Yavarpampa wilderness now is the camping ground of a general led by Chalkuchma. There are more than 3,000 Liwa soldiers stationed there who enjoy killing people. The camp where the Inca royal women and children were held was located in the heart of the army. In order to prevent prisoners from escaping, Quito has set up three checkpoints here. The first level is a few tents surrounded by tall fences. There were Quito soldiers closely guarding both inside and outside the tent. The second level is surrounded by a lower fence. Surrounding the fence are three steps and one post, and five steps and one post. The third level is that the camp is constantly patrolled back and forth by patrols. No one can hide from the eyes of Quito's soldiers without being allowed to do so.
These women and children of royal blood who were captured from various places were either young or weak, very pitiful and miserable, and would not pose any threat to the Quido people. Therefore, the Quido people did not intend to execute them immediately, but It is to torture and destroy them for their happiness and pleasure.
They deliberately denied food to the detainees and made the children cry out from hunger. So the Quito soldiers took out some raw corn and vegetable leaves to tease them, asking them to do some low-level and despicable things that were not in line with the status of the royal family. Moreover, every once in a while, the soldiers would commit violence against these children. They punched and kicked the children, or picked up the children's hands and feet to do juggling, and even used the children as targets for their training. In the end, they were either tortured to death or starved to death.
Chimuanche was a seven-year-old child captured from the province of Arequipa. His mother was the half-sister of the Inca king Huascar. His father was the governor of Arequipa and was captured by the Quitos with Huascar in the military camp on the Quipapan plain outside Cusco. Afterwards, Quito sent people to the governor's mansion in Arequipa based on his father's address, and brought his mother and several aunts, who were his father's wives, as well as grandparents and more than ten people. All the brothers and sisters were arrested. At that time, Quito told them that his father had sent them over to take them to live in Cusco. However, when they arrived in Cusco, they discovered that the Quito people had deceived them.
After arriving in Cusco, Quido took away some of his older brothers and brought him here with women and children. There were many women and children locked up with them. They were all captured by Quidos from the capital city of Cusco and the provinces. Many of them were crowded into a large tent. The tent was dark and damp, and had a very unpleasant smell. From time to time, large rats could be seen running around.
He lived with his mother, other aunts and children. To protect them, mothers would not let their children leave them. Because once a child leaves his side, he will easily suffer disaster. They saw with their own eyes a six-year-old boy who couldn't bear the hunger and ran out of the tent to look for food. A Quito soldier stuck a dead rat on a stick for the boy to eat. The boy refused to eat, so he was beaten and kicked by the soldiers, and then his head was chopped off with a hatchet.
Those Quito soldiers were despicable. They would enter the tent every night and take the young women away by force. They were escorted back at midnight. One night, three or four soldiers entered the tent to take away Chim'anche's mother. My mother refused, so the soldiers dragged her away by grabbing her head. The young Chim'anche was worried about his mother's safety. At midnight, my mother was escorted back by the soldiers. In the dim light, he saw his mother lying on the ground, wiping tears and gasping for air. So, he came to his mother and shouted in a low voice, "Oh my God, I'm hungry."
The mother said nothing, silently took out a small piece of tortilla from her pocket and handed it to him. This was her little reward after suffering so much at the hands of Quito's soldiers. Because the soldiers didn't want them to die early. Chem'anche finished the small piece of corn cake cherished bit by bit. However, he was still very hungry and said, "Mom, I am still very hungry." However, the mother stroked his little face with her hand and said, "Poor child, mother has nothing for you to eat. Go to sleep, as soon as you fall asleep I'm not hungry anymore." So Qim'anche lay in his mother's arms and fell asleep.
The next night, the soldiers came again to take my mother out. However, her mother knew that they were going to drag her out and rape her, so she hugged a pillar and refused to leave. As a result, the soldiers became angry and punched and kicked the mother until she was dead and unconscious. Then, the soldiers looked at the other women in the tent and dragged one of Chim'anche's aunts out of the tent.
Chim'anche didn't eat for another day, crying and asking his mother for something to eat. But his mother has been in a semi-conscious state and can no longer take care of him. When a soldier saw that Chem'anche was crying from hunger, he pulled him outside the tent. In front of a group of soldiers, he teased him with a lettuce leaf and said, "Kneel on the ground and crawl to me. Bow down and I will give you this vegetable leaf to eat."
Chem'anche knew he couldn't do this, but he was really hungry, so he knelt down and knelt down to worship the soldier as the soldier said. However, at this time, his mother ran out of the tent after hearing the news and shouted to him, "Qim'anche, you spineless thing, come back here."
When the soldier saw that Qim'anche was stopped by his mother, he went over and beat his mother severely, knocking her to the ground. Then, several people grabbed Qim'anche's arms and legs and carried him away. He stood up and threw it hard into the air. Chim'anche was thrown four or five meters in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground. Qim'anche was immediately thrown half to death, and he didn't even have the strength to cry.
When the mother saw this, she crawled to her son's side and cried, "Qim'anche, my child." The soldiers burst into laughter, then raised their hatchets and struck the mother and son. beheaded.
The children are ignorant because they are young. However, these women are all extremely noble direct relatives of the royal family. They are even sisters, aunts, nieces, nieces, cousins and stepmothers of Huascar and Atahualpa. They would rather starve to death than beg from the Quito soldiers, let alone do something despicable and degrading to their status. So the people of Quito hung them from trees and tall gallows. In order to destroy and humiliate their noble character, they hung some of them upright, some upside down, some by their heads, some by their waists, and some by one arm or a Some have their arms or legs hanging, and some even take off their clothes and pants and hang with their legs spread apart. In short, they used all the hanging methods they could think of that would make them feel most humiliated and tortured.
On this day, the Quito people hung these women up and down in various ways to let their king come to visit. Let him witness the humiliation and torture of his wife, aunts, sisters, nieces and nephews. The Quitos tied Huascar and led him to some big trees in the middle of the camp. Let him watch his young wife named Huanaliha being tortured. The young wife, who was only eighteen years old, had just given birth to a child and her body had not yet fully recovered. However, the despicable and shameless Quito took off her clothes, made her head face to the ground, and hung her legs on a tall gallows.
An officer asked the soldiers to bring Huascar to the gallows, patted the woman who was almost fainting from pain, and said to her, "Look, your man, the supreme King Inka, has come to visit you. "
As soon as the woman saw that it was her man, the king of the empire was standing in front of her, she cried, "Your Majesty, please save me, Your Majesty, please save me quickly!" However, her man, the King of the Inca Empire, was wearing a Wearing mourning clothes, his hands were tied, a rope was tied around his neck, and he was led by soldiers. At this time, he couldn't even save his own life, so how could he protect his relatives?
At this time, a Quito brought a baby who was only a few months old and said to the woman, "This is your child, the future prince. You must hold it well." After saying that, he put the baby down. In the arms of the woman who was hanging half alive. However, the young princess was already in a semi-conscious state, so she could no longer hold her in her arms, and the baby fell from her arms. The baby fell to the ground and screamed as it was thrown. Huascar was so frightened that he turned around quickly and couldn't bear to see it.
There is a sister Huascar loves very much, named Umanreina. She is as beautiful as a fairy and is only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was also stripped naked by Quito soldiers, hung from his waist with a rope, and hung from a big tree. Seeing Huascar coming, he weakly shouted, "My king, my brother, please save me! I really can't bear it anymore." However, Huascar just lowered his head and shed tears, but was unable to help.
The commander saw that the girl was begging Huascar, but the king looked like he was about to cry. He was very proud, so he laughed despicably and shouted to the soldiers, "Let the king's sister give it to you." Brother King, salute you." Then, the soldiers suddenly pulled up the rope, hoisted the girl up high, and then loosened the rope, letting the girl fall from the sky again, and repeated this process as a salute to the King. The girl was suddenly hung up high in the sky, and then suddenly fell down from the high altitude. Her courage was shattered, and she screamed hysterically.
What Huascar couldn't bear to witness the most was his own Queen Barancaia of Keya. The Moon Daughter of the Incas was captured by Quido in the palace the day after Huascar, the Son of the Sun, was captured. Also captured with her were many female relatives of the royal family. After she was captured, she was secretly escorted here and locked up with all the other women and children of the royal family.
At this time, she was also stripped naked by the Quitos and hung up with ropes with her hands facing up and her feet facing down. She was Huascar's favorite, most beautiful and noble sister. As the mother of the Inca Empire, being stripped naked and hung from a tree by Quito really made her feel better than death. However, she could neither survive nor die. When she saw her husband Huascar being tied up by Quito, with a rope around his neck, and being led by soldiers, she felt heartbroken. This is the first time the couple has met in dozens of days. However, this way of meeting made them all feel very embarrassed and intolerable. Therefore, when the Quitos brought Huascar to Barrancaia, who was naked and hanging high, instead of pleading to the king, Barancaia closed his eyes and turned his head to one side. Huascar also lowered his head and did not look at his wife.
The Quito officer said to Barrancaia with ulterior motives, "Your husband has come to see you, aren't you going to say hello to him?" But Barrancaia gritted his teeth and persisted, not wanting her husband to Seeing the pain and unbearable expression on his face. Huascar turned his head to one side and hurried past Barrancaia, but tears couldn't help but burst out.
At the training ground of the army camp in Quito, young women who were stripped naked and hung high on trees and gallows were lined up in a long row several hundred meters away. Huascar was taken to a place, and the women begged him to rescue them quickly in pleading and pitiful tones. However, not only could he not save them, on the contrary, his arrival could only increase the torture and torture inflicted on them by Quito. humiliation. And all he could see was that these women, who had always been his most beloved and closest to him, were being hung alive by Quito. As time went by, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he cried and begged Quito to let them have fun. Almost dead. However, the vicious Quito people not only refused to let them die, but doubled their torture and torture until they lost all their dignity and were hanged alive.
