The Fall of the Golden Empire (Novel) (Volume 1) "Bloody Sunset" by Zhang Baotong
The Spaniards actually did not listen carefully to his introduction and explanation, but stared at the pure gold bases eagerly, thinking in their minds whether to choose or not. These pure gold bases are so tempting. However, before they came to Cusco, Atahualpa told them some etiquette and matters that they must understand. Among them, he clearly emphasized to them that the Sun God of Cusco The mummies of the late kings in the temple must not be touched, otherwise they will cause public outrage and risk their lives. Because the Inca people were very superstitious and believed that people would have souls after death, so when someone in the family died, they would make mummies and place them in the house, so that the deceased would be reborn. The mummies of the Inca kings are even more sacred and cannot be offended.
Seeing that Alonso was hesitant, Alvarez and Pedro encouraged him and said, "Sergeant, why are you hesitating? How many gold pesos is this much gold worth?" Looking at this much gold, , How could Alonso not be tempted, but he still did not dare to act rashly, because they knew that their lives were more important than the gold. Therefore, after a long period of consideration, Alonso decided to abandon these pure gold bases.
He said to his two companions, "The Inca king specifically told us that these mummies of the previous kings must not be touched. Otherwise, we will offend the Incas and our lives may not be saved. Forget it, there is a lot of gold in Cusco anyway. ." The two companions actually knew that this approach was very risky, and after hearing what the sergeant said, they nodded in agreement.
They directed the Indian soldiers to remove the gold outside and inside the Temple of the Sun. The gold in the main hall is easier to remove. The gold bricks and gold planks of the walls can be easily removed piece by piece. However, the gold foil covering the temple is more difficult to remove, especially the gold embedded in the rocks or poured into the rocks.
There is a very long and large golden eaves set in the rock, and it is set very firmly. The soldiers tried many methods but could not dig it out. Alonso became angry and scolded these soldiers for being passive and unwilling to work hard. However, he forgot that their approach itself was a blasphemy and destruction of the religion and gods of the Inca Empire. Can the Indians be willing to do such a harmful thing?
There is also a large stone inlaid with some gold carvings and animal carvings. Alonso asked the adjutant, "You said all the gold here has been removed. Why hasn't so much gold been removed?" The Inca adjutant said, "These golds were poured in during carving. There is no gold at all." Find a way to get it out." However, Alonso could not allow so much gold to be missed, so he asked his adjutant to find a craftsman to chisel the gold out of the cracks in the stone.
The adjutant did not dare to disobey Alonso's order, so he asked several craftsmen to be found. When the craftsman saw the gold embedded in the cracks of the stone, he followed the commander's instructions and used bronze tools to chisel the stone. However, the stone was too hard. As soon as the chisel hit it, a spark flashed and only a mark was made on the hard rock. Therefore, the masons worked for a long time without even showing any hope or effect. Alonso saw it and had no choice but to let the craftsman give up.
At this time, they had already looked through the entire temple and asked the soldiers to remove all the gold objects that had not been removed. Because some gold objects had always been considered inviolable by the Incas, they were not dismantled. However, for the Spaniards, there was nothing in the Inca Empire that they did not dare to offend.
Originally, it would only take half a day at most to remove the gold from the inside and outside of the hall, but it took dozens of soldiers a whole day to complete it. When the sun went down, the towering Sacsayhuaman Castle on the hillside on the outskirts of the city was already immersed in the dusk. Alonso had no choice but to let the soldiers call it a day and return to camp.
On the afternoon of the third day, when Spain was walking through the Aklihuasi district of Cusco, he saw another large shed not far from the Temple of the Sun and the Royal Palace, and thought that this might also be a very large palace. , there is a lot of gold in it. So, he led the soldiers towards this side. When I arrived at the main hall, I saw that the door of the main hall was closed tightly, and there was only a narrow alleyway that could accommodate two people leading to the entire palace courtyard.
The Spaniards are about to move in. Taluka quickly blocked them with his body and warned sternly, "This is the Palace of the Virgin of the Sun. Not even the king can enter it casually." The Spaniards still pushed the obstructive Indian adjutant away. He drew out his long sword, raised it in front of the soldiers behind him, and said, "Whoever dares to stop him, let him see God." After saying that, in full view of dozens of Inca soldiers, he walked along the passage and walked inside. As soon as they entered the entrance of the passage, there were twenty gatekeepers blocking the door and preventing the Spaniards from entering. The Spaniards slashed in front of them with their long swords several times, which meant that they would not die unless they died.
As a result, the priests guarding the door no longer dared to stop them, and could only watch helplessly as the three big white men walked straight into the passage. There are many small rooms on both sides of the passage, with women guarding the doors. The woman watched them rush in with swords in hand, and was so frightened that she couldn't even shout. Although these women are all virgins, they are all maids who do chores, and they are all dressed simply. Therefore, Alonso and the others did not take them seriously and rushed straight into the house.
These rooms are larger, and there is a woman sitting on the bed, carefully making a cloak that looks like something only an Inca king could wear. The woman is about twenty-one or twelve years old. She is wearing a clean and tidy red-pink dress. She has a fair complexion, a straight body, a slightly fat face, and a peaceful and calm expression. Alonso had heard that the virgins in the Palace of the Sun were all selected from the daughters of Inca nobles to be wives of the Sun. Therefore, their status was very noble and their appearance was also very beautiful. When I saw it today, it was indeed the case.
At this time, the woman turned around and saw Alonso holding a long sword and looking murderous. She screamed in fright and hid in the corner. Alonso laughed loudly, inserted the long sword into the scabbard, coaxed and said to the woman with a smile, "Don't be afraid, my little sweetheart, I'm here to rescue you." With that, He rushed over and hugged the woman in his arms. The poor Indian woman had only known how to be submissive since she was a child, and she didn't know how to resist at all, so she was pressed on the bed by Alonso, crying and undressed, and timidly raped.
After Alonso finished his work, he said to the virgin, "My little sweetheart. Stop being a nun here and go out with me to enjoy the glory and wealth." After saying that, he pulled the woman out, but the woman just cried and shook her head. , refused to leave with Alonso until death. Alonso had no choice but to walk out of the room by himself. When he noticed that his two companions were missing, he called out to Alvarez and Pedro.
Pedro responded in the room next to him and said, "I'm here." Alonso entered the room next to him and saw Pedro raping a very young girl. He was totally ignorant and screamed in fear.
Alonso hurriedly ran out of the house and heard a woman screaming in another room. He quickly lifted the curtain and saw that Alvarez tied a woman to a chair while using The whip struck the woman a little while raping the woman. Alonso couldn't help but cursed, "Alvarez, you are a fucking sadist." Then, he walked out of the house and stood outside the door waiting for the two companions. However, after waiting for more than half an hour, the two bastards still didn't come out, so he shouted anxiously, "Hurry up, you two, it's getting dark."
After a while, I saw the two people coming out of the house while holding up their pants. Alonso scolded, "You two are really more energetic than jackasses. You can work for most of the day." Pedro said with a smile, "Finally seize the opportunity to have a good time."
Alonso said, "Everyone has eaten enough and played enough. Now let's settle down and find gold. This is our real work and mission." With that, he took his two companions with him. Out of the Palace of Virgins.
When the three of them walked from the passage to the door, they saw a large group of Indian citizens surrounding the door. There were about three to five hundred people, all with angry eyes, shaking their fists and roaring at them. It was as if the Spaniards raped not the virgins of the Palace of the Virgin of the Sun, but their wives and daughters.
As soon as Pedro saw this situation, he said to his two companions, "No, we are in big trouble." Alvarez also felt scared and said to Alonso, "Mr. Sergeant, what should we do?" What to do?" Alonso remembered what Inca King Atahualpa had repeatedly told them before they came to Cusco, saying that they must never enter the Palace of the Virgin. It's not that they didn't remember this, it's that they felt that they were the conquerors and the masters of this place, and there was nothing they dared not do. Now, he realized that what the Inca King told them repeatedly was not unreasonable. Now that I have offended the public, I can only force my way out.
Alonso calmed down and said to his two companions, "Don't be afraid. We have a safe pass from the Incas. They don't dare to do violence to us." After that, he took out his sword and said to his two subordinates. , "Come out with some energy and don't act timid." Then he took the lead, plucked up the courage, and walked towards the door with a tough and arrogant posture.
When they walked out of the Palace of the Virgins, people immediately surrounded them, shaking their fists at them, accusing them and roaring, making them fall into anger but unable to get rid of it. Alonso was really scared, so he kept waving his sword to threaten the besieging citizens. However, the people seemed to have been enraged and were not afraid of their threats at all. Seeing that there was no way to break out of the crowd, Alonso pushed his way to the Indian adjutant and shouted to him, "I order you in the name of the Inca King Atahualpa to drive these citizens away immediately. Otherwise, I will hand you over to Atahualpa for disposal.”
The unlucky Indian adjutant Taluka was forced to have no choice but to let the soldiers disperse the angry crowd, and protected the Spaniards from rushing out of the crowd. However, the Spaniards were walking in front, but the group of Indians were following behind, and more and more people gathered. The Spaniards could no longer look for gold, and hurried back to the barracks of Quiskis to hide. stand up.
