The Fall of the Golden Empire (Novel) (Volume 1) "Bloody Sunset" by Zhang Baotong
After listening to the ancient love story told by Prince Bescarra, the governor of Tungula Province, Ucamayaca, the chief of Capastasa Province, immediately went on to say, "We have all heard of Manco Capac, the Inca King and the Son of the Sun. As well as the daughter of the sun, Queen Oculo led the first batch of Inca subjects on a long journey to find a blessed land and establish a foundation three months after the first sacrifice to the sun god. They came to the Cusco Valley, and it was easy So he stuck the golden rod in the ground and called the place Cusco. But in fact, it was not just the Inca King Manco Capac and Queen Mama Oquelho who were looking for a blessed land and establishing the foundation. There are also their other three pairs of brothers and sisters. In other words, the Inca dynasty should be founded by the 4 brothers and 4 sisters of Ayal, the 'Sons of the Sun'."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be startled. Because this is a well-known myth of the Inca people. The story only says that the Inca dynasty was founded by Manco Capac and Mama Oculo. How can there be other stories about three brothers and three sisters? Hearing what Chief Ukamayaka said, everyone was stunned and very surprised.
Ukamayaka continued to preach that these four men and four women came out of a cave called Toco on the edge of Lake Titicaca, and were ordered by the Sun God to find a place where they could build their home. The names of these four brothers are Ayal Manco, which means the leader and the person granted the highest power; Ayal Uqiu, which means the land where pepper grows; Ayal Oka, which means the rebel and the searcher. The man of authority and Ayal Kach, meaning the coast with salt flats. The 4 sisters are Mama Okolo, a fertile mother and a woman who takes care of the family; Mama Waco, a responsible and masculine woman; Mama Kola, a woman who grows in the eastern forests. The name of the wild grass; Mama Lava means corn, the most grown crop in the area. These 8 people are not only brothers and sisters, but also 4 couples. They followed the will of the sun god to find a place to settle. They traveled through the mountains and came to a valley at an altitude of 3,300 meters. The east, west and north sides of the valley are surrounded by steep, tall and snow-covered peaks, but the south side is a flat channel. Two small rivers meander through and merge into a large river, making the land on both sides very fertile. So they named this place Cusco.
Because the four of them have different names, their personalities and abilities are also different. Ayal Kach was the strongest among them, and he helped everyone break through the mountains and ridges to clear the way. Therefore, the brothers were jealous of his immense strength, so they designed to frame him, led him into a cave, and then sealed the entrance of the cave with a rolling boulder. Kachi asked for help from Viracocha, the god who created the earth. God turned him into a condor and allowed him to escape from the cave. But when Kachi flew to the top of the mountain, God turned him into a rock, so he became the Huana Kaori holy place where Inca youths held coming-of-age ceremonies. Another brother, Ayal Uchu, who had desecrated a sacred object near Cuzco, was turned into a stone and worshiped the sun god and Piracocha forever. Ayal Oka was defeated for rebelling against his brother Manco, and finally obeyed the will of God and Manco. This left only Manco and Oculus to go to Cusco. So, in the end, Manco Capac and Mama Oculo became the masters of Cusco, the founders of the Inca dynasty.
Regardless of whether this kind of story is true or false, no one dared to tell it in the past, otherwise it would be blaspheming the son of the Sun God and the Inca King, and his head would be beheaded. However, Ukamayaka not only dared to speak, but he also spoke in front of King Atahualpa. In fact, he deliberately told the story to the king, because he knew that the king hated the Incas and their history and mythology. Therefore, the reason why he told this story was to please King Quida.
However, at this time, a guard hurried over with bare feet and legs and reported to Atahualpa, "The Supreme King, the chief of the village of Cajamarca came to see the King and said that he had something important to report."
Atahualpa was about to make a few comments, but when he heard that the village chief was coming to see him, he looked a little impatient, but he couldn't help but refuse to see him, so he said, "Let him come."
A middle-aged man came to the king carrying a large bundle of firewood, knelt down and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, the most noble king, I have something important to report to the king."
The king snorted and said, "You tell me."
The village chief knelt down to the king again with gratitude and said, "There is a bachelor in the village who fell in love with a young widow whose husband died of illness, so he molested her again and again. Last night, he ran into her house again. He went to tease her, but because the woman did not agree, he raped the other woman. Now, the family has reported this matter to me, so I am asking the king for instructions on how to deal with it. "
When the Governor of Tungula Province, Prince Beskara, heard this, he frowned and asked, "Where is that person?"
The village chief said, "He ran away when he heard that we were going to arrest him."
Atahualpa shouted to the guard. A guard immediately ran to the king with bare feet and legs, knelt down in front of the king and said, "Please give me the king's orders."
The king said, "Take a few people over to catch the rapist and hang him on the big tree at the entrance of the village."
The guard said, "Yes, my king." Then he followed the village chief out of the small courtyard.
It is the honor of the ministers to chat with the king, and it is the honor of the princes to tell interesting stories to the king. Therefore, everyone is vying to tell the king the stories they know. The chief of Chincha Province, Hakamaga, who was nearly fifty years old, was a wise man with a wide range of personal experiences and could tell many anecdotes. The stories and anecdotes he told always made King Atahualpa very fond of them. What he wants to talk about today is what he has witnessed and experienced in the past.
He said, "Laito is a tribe in the east near the sea. This tribe has a custom that when girls in the family reach the age of fifteen or sixteen, they must get married. However, girls must have children before they get married. There are After a child is born, a man from his own tribe will marry her. Therefore, when a girl reaches fifteen or sixteen, her parents will invite their relatives and friends to stay at home to spend the night with the girl. Moreover, this Laito tribe is particularly hospitable. Usually, as long as a stranger or guest from outside passes by the village, the girl's parents will invite him to their home like a distinguished guest, treat him to food and drink, and then let the girl sleep with him.
The women there don't pay attention to chastity at all, but the more dissolute and depraved a woman is, the more she is regarded as a strong and capable woman. Therefore, men always marry women after they are pregnant, because they think such women are coquettish, capable and fertile. When they receive friends or brothers they like, they let their women sleep with them. Although the Inca kings sent officials to govern them for many years, some customs are still difficult to change. Once, as a provincial chief, I went there for an inspection. The local leaders were very warm and polite to me and my entourage. They gave us whatever raw venison and chicken blood they could get, because they always used these foods to entertain distinguished guests from far away. If you don't eat, they will think that you look down on them and are unwilling to become one with them. So, even though we don’t like eating, we still have to bite the bullet and eat some. However, everyone is not used to them asking women to sleep with them. The women there have dark red skin, thin bodies, thin waists and large breasts. Moreover, the women are all enthusiastic and coquettish and informal. Before the men come to bed, they have already taken off their clothes and lie on the bed waiting for you in a very coquettish and seductive manner. When you get on the bed, they begin to take off your clothes enthusiastically and proactively, using all kinds of tricks to make you happy. Sometimes, their men would come into the house to check whether their women had really made their friends and guests happy and entertained. If friends and guests appear happy, a man will feel proud. If friends and guests do not appear happy and satisfied, a man will think that his woman has disgraced him. After friends and guests leave, they will beat their wives or women with bamboo sticks. "
Then he continued, "However, there is a tribe in Chimborazo Province that is just the opposite. The mother always takes very good care of her daughters, letting them stay at home all day long and not going out, let alone letting them interact with other people. The men met and talked. It was not until the engagement time that the daughter was allowed to appear in public. At the engagement ceremony, in front of the man's parents, relatives and friends, he personally aborted his daughter's virginity to prove to everyone how closely their daughter was being guarded. "
Because the Incas did not have writing, history and culture were passed down from generation to generation through oral means such as legends and storytelling. Therefore, Inca myths and anecdotes like these are usually told by others when they are very young. However, these stories and anecdotes are still so vivid, touching and fascinating every time they are told. The king was very interested in all kinds of novel stories and anecdotes told by everyone. Not only did he listen carefully, but he also never interrupted or commented casually. Therefore, ministers like to tell the king some novel stories or anecdotes they have experienced or heard in order to please the king.
The Governor of Insbra Province went on to say, "There is a barbarian tribe in our province called the Vana people. They don't know how to build houses. When they are seven or eight years old or ten years old, they leave their homes and go out to find whatever they want. They settled down in caves, rock crevices or tree pits. Not only did they have no religion or idols, they also had no language, and they had no contact with each other among their own clans and relatives. However, they knew where the women lived, and whenever they were lucky, they When they are young, if they can eat more food, they will feel that they are in good spirits, so they go to find women to have sex. Those women are usually alone, and some may have one or two young children. However, Women there usually don’t like to have sex with men, because doing so will make them pregnant and give birth. Once they become pregnant and give birth, they don’t have a lot of energy and time to get food, and they will often go hungry. Therefore, men He had to make a surprise attack when the woman was asleep, tie her hands with a tree vine, and then forcefully have sex with her. After sex, he continued to go out to find food for himself. Even though he met the man he had just met outside, It’s as if they haven’t seen the women they have sex with. In short, they never get along with anyone, not even their mothers and siblings. Therefore, they neither help nor fight with each other. Moreover, they have no tribe. , and there is no leader or chief. Therefore, over time, people in our provinces and regions call those solitary people who usually do not interact with others, the Wana people."
Ukamayaka, the chief of Pastaza Province, has been fighting for many years with the late king Huayna Capac. Not only is he well-informed, but he also has a wide range of interests. He has seen and heard the most private affairs and strange things between men and women. Therefore, as soon as I wanted to tell some weird and interesting anecdotes, I couldn't help but start again and said, "Before the Incas conquered the Kipchak Province, there was a remote tribe in Kipchak Province that was very primitive and ignorant. They They are dressed like animals, and have no knowledge of clothing or shame except for the skin that God has given them. For what they think is elegance and curiosity, they tie a rope around their bodies and think that this is the right thing to do. It can be regarded as wearing clothes. Women are naked and unclothed like men. Moreover, they are not civilized in sexual relations. Men do not have fixed wives. As long as they meet any woman, they will have sex with her at will. They even Seeking pleasure with my sisters, mother and daughter.”
Everyone was telling all kinds of novel anecdotes and stories one after another. The more they told the story, the more interested they became and their elegance became higher. It didn't feel like it was already evening. At this moment, the guard came to report, "Report to the king, four white men rode a very tall animal and came to the door. They wanted to see the king. They said they came specifically to pay homage to the king."
