The Fall of the Golden Empire (Novel) (Volume 1) "Bloody Sunset" by Zhang Baotong
Hernando got up very late. When he got up, the concubine had already prepared the face wash for her. After he washed his face, Usaka took him to the place where he had eaten yesterday afternoon and had breakfast with several other soldiers. When they had just finished breakfast, a very loud horn horn sounded on the playground. I saw many soldiers running quickly to the playground from the houses next to the playground and inside the castle, and began to line up and assemble. Within a few minutes, the playground was filled with groups of Inca soldiers.
Usaka, Supaipa and other Inca generals took the Spaniards up to the castle and watched the Inca soldiers performing and drilling in formation on the playground. Each phalanx of Inca soldiers was a battalion, with about three to four hundred people. They walked through the playground in neat rows, with neat steps and majestic military appearance. It doesn't look like an army that will be slaughtered at will by the Spanish who are vulnerable to attack.
After the formation drill, the soldiers demonstrated the skills of using hatchets and wooden clubs for the Spaniards. But the Spaniards were not interested in these because the lethality of these weapons was too small compared with the Spanish muskets and swords. So after watching for a while, Hernando said to Usaca, "General, it's time for us to go back." Because no matter how late it was, it would be late at night when we returned to Cajamarca.
Usaka and several generals sent them out of the castle.
On the second morning after Hernando returned to Cajamarca from Bambamarca with several cavalry, Usaka also went to Cajamarca to report to the king that the Spaniards were going to Bambamarca for an attack. Investigation situation. He told the Inca king all the details of Spain's stay in Bambamarca in detail, especially the Spanish investigation into the truth about Huascar's death. The king was very satisfied after hearing this.
However, these days, Atahualpa still felt guilty and timid, fearing that Pizarro would come and become furious with him, become furious, and even want to execute him. Fortunately, Pizarro never came, and no other Spaniards came, which made him feel somewhat lucky and lucky. He thought that maybe what Prince Bescarra said made sense. The Spaniards were just trying to scare him and would not really execute him because they could not live without him.
After breakfast, the Inca King asked the prince who was guarding the door of the meeting hall to call Petera and play chess with him. Because Petera's chess skills improved greatly and he occasionally won a few games, this inspired the Inca King's desire to win. However, the two of them had just played chess for a while when the gatekeeper, Prince Bacmo, came to report that Prince Bescarra had returned from Cusco. Petya wanted to avoid it, but the Inca king waved his hand and said no. So Petya continued to sit on the stool.
Prince Beskara entered the house in a dusty manner. After kneeling down, he happily reported, "Report to your Majesty, there is really a lot of gold in Cusco. Because Kiskis doesn't know much about Cusco, so he raised The progress of gold is not fast. This time I went there and walked around the places I was familiar with in the past. I saw that the rooftops and even the floors of the temples and palaces were covered with gold. Some of the gold was even bigger than a bed. , I asked several princes and generals to lead soldiers to carry out large-scale demolition and transportation. Whether it was the palace hall or the Cusco temple, as long as there was gold, it would be demolished. In just a few days, I saw that the gold that had been demolished was almost the same. It can fill most of the room."
After hearing the report from Prince Bescara, the Inca hurriedly got up and walked over, helped the prince up, and excitedly took the prince's hand and said, "The one who saved me is Prince Bescara." Then, he picked up a small box from the wall. The stool made the prince sit down. The prince sat on a small stool and began to tell the king things that made him happy.
Seeing that the king and the king were talking so affectionately but could not understand a word, Petya waved to Atahualpa and left the room. As soon as he left the house, he saw the beautiful Queen Anna Maya waving to him in front of the door of the next cabin. He walked over and asked, "What do you want from me?"
She put a small glass mirror in his hand and said, "Please return this thing to that Robert, and just say that I cannot accept such a valuable thing." Because she had stayed there for a long time, she usually Spaniards can understand some Indian languages. Therefore, Peterya can also understand what Queen Anna said.
He knew that the mirrors of the Inca royal family and nobles were made of silver, while the mirrors used by the princes and nobles were made of gold. They cast silver and gold into a round shape, and then polished it continuously until the mirror surface was very smooth and clean, which became their daily mirror. Ordinary people are not allowed to own gold and silver, so they don't have mirrors. They have to look at themselves in a water tank. Therefore, this kind of glass mirror brought from Spain was very precious and rare to the Inca people, because even the Inca king did not have such a mirror. So, he said, "It doesn't matter. Since he gave it to you, you should accept it."
But Queen Anna said, "I have no reason to accept such an expensive gift. Let's return it to him." After saying that, she turned around and entered the hut.
Petya put the small mirror in his pocket, walked to the door of the monastery, and chatted with the soldiers standing outside. At this moment, Robert was seen riding over from the military camp. Petya came over and said jokingly, "Mr. Secretary, you must have something important to do here, right?"
Robert's face couldn't help but blush, because he knew that Petya knew that he was deeply infatuated with Queen Anna Maya. Because after meeting Queen Anna Maya that day, his soul was completely taken away. For many days his whole thought was about Queen Anna. She was so pure and holy, yet so graceful and luxurious, that he fell in love with her and couldn't let go of her. Originally, he was not supposed to love the queen of the Inca king, but he knew that sooner or later Atahuallpa would be executed by the Marquis, and once Atahuallpa was executed, something would happen to Princess Anna Maya as the queen. Therefore, he was very worried about the future of this young, beautiful, holy and noble Inca queen.
Robert jumped off the horse, patted Petya on the shoulder and said, "You have to be careful. I will take care of your secret possession of gold in front of the Marquis."
Petera smiled and said, "That's right, we are buddies." After saying that, he took out the small glass mirror from his pocket and placed it in front of Robert.
Robert was startled and said, "Why do you have this thing in your hand?"
Peterya said, "This is what you gave to others. They thought it was too valuable and couldn't afford it, so let me give it back to you."
Robert took the small mirror and didn't say a word for a long time, looking very disappointed. Peterya comforted him and said, "She is really a good woman, but she is the queen of the Inca king. No matter how much you love her, you can't get her. So, I advise you to forget it. Don't get her if you can't get her." Get horny on things."
But Robert shook his head and said, "I love her so much that I can't help myself." Then he sighed long and said, "Besides, I feel sorry for her. Do you want to Even if the gold in that room is full, will the Marquis let the king out? I don’t think so. If we let him go, we may all be wiped out by the Inca. The fate of the Inca king will definitely not end well. , so I am very worried about her future situation."
Petya thought for a while and said, "If you pity her, sympathize with her and love her, you can only wait until the fate of the Inca King has come to an end before you get her."
"By then, it may be too late," Rolbert said.
Petya said puzzledly, "How come it's late?"
"By that time, the situation was in chaos and who knew what kind of disaster would happen to her," Robert said.
As he spoke, Robert said in a sincere tone, "Brother, do me a favor. Tell her that I want to see her and wait for her in the woods in front of the door at night. See you there or not."
According to regulations, no one in the small courtyard was allowed to come out without Pizarro's permission, but because Roberto caught Pietera secretly hiding gold, Pieteria had to compromise. Petya sighed helplessly and said, "You are so stubborn that you will never look back until you hit the wall."
Seeing Robert's dejected and unhappy figure riding away, Peter sighed deeply, thinking that this literary man was really weird. There were so many young and beautiful women that he couldn't choose or love, but he couldn't. It is really incomprehensible to fall in love with a married woman who is also the queen of the Inca king.
As soon as he returned to the temple, the prince who guarded the gate called him and said that the king was waiting for him to play chess. He entered the room of the Inca King's council room, sat down at the table, and prepared to continue playing the last game. However, the Inca King said to him very happily, "Prince Bescarra just said that a large amount of gold will be shipped here from Cusco soon, so I will be able to get out of here soon."
Petera smiled and said, "Really? Then I congratulate you."
King Inca said, "When I become king again, I will invite you to the palace to play chess with me every day." Then he said, "My palace is very, very big, and it is very elegant and luxurious inside. The grounds are spacious and comfortable.”
Petya said in an envious tone, "That's great, I haven't entered the palace yet."
The two of them were talking and playing chess, and it was evening before they knew it. Because Petera thought that Robert would have a date with Queen Anna that night, but he hadn't told Queen Anna about it yet. So, he wanted to go to Queen Anna secretly before the Inca King ate, because this kind of thing could not be seen by Atahualpa and other concubines. The quarrel between Martin and Gina has not calmed down yet, so Dezina is still locked up in that pitiful hut. If others see him and Queen Anna secretly together, they will definitely cause even greater trouble.
Pretending to be a sentry in the inspection yard, he walked to the door of the small house where Queen Anna lived, knocked gently, and heard a voice calling from inside, "Come in."
Petera entered the house, because the doors of Indian houses were always open. Only when no one was at home, a stick would be placed in front of the door to block the door, indicating that no one was home and no one was allowed to enter.
Ana was sitting on the bed, teaching a four-year-old girl to do a housework with camel hair. When she saw Petya entering the room, she said in half-baked Spanish, "Sir, is something wrong?"
Petya said, "I returned the small mirror to him. He seemed very painful. He said that he loved you very much and that he was very worried about your future situation. Therefore, he asked you to go to the monastery after dark at night. Meet him in the woods in front of the door. He'll be waiting for you there, and he's still saying goodbye."
