Inca Elegy (Novel) "The Fall of the Inca Empire" (Volume 2) by Zhang Baotong
After General Alvarado left the New World and returned to Guatemala by ship, everything seemed to be calm again. In the city of Cusco at this time, the ancient Inca system had been overthrown, the status of the nobility had plummeted to almost the same level as the peasants, the Indians had become slaves of the Spanish, the palaces had been converted into barracks, and the temples had been converted into stables and sacred religious places. It was destroyed, countless homes were occupied, and thousands of Indian virgins and ladies were driven out of the palaces and temples of the Sun God. They were homeless and had to make a living by working as whores for the Spanish soldiers. After Pizarro went to Pachacamac, he gave the city of Cusco to Juan and Gonzalo. The two brothers of the Marquis are even more greedy and cruel than the Marquis himself. They do whatever they want and are greedy. They often lead and connive with soldiers to break into the homes of Indian residents to rob and rape, and use robbery and rape as a pastime and fun game. .
The Inca King Manco stayed with Marquis Pizarro in Haoha for more than ten days. In order to make the Marquis happy, he also organized a large-scale hunting activity in the royal garden area. The soldiers surrounded the deer and alpacas in the forest. He got up and rushed to the valley, then hunted many of them, and then released some female deer and alpacas into the forest. In Pizarro
Although the Inca King Manco has returned to Cusco from Haoha, he is just a puppet in the hands of the Spaniards. With the demise of the Inca Empire and the increasing power of the Spanish, his life became increasingly difficult. In the past, Pizarro would take him with him wherever he went. It could be said that he was under guard and under house arrest, for fear of any accidents or accidents happening to him. However, now that the Inca Empire no longer exists, he is not considered so important. Therefore, before he went to Pachacamac, he handed over Manco, the Inca king, to Juan and Gonzalo, asking them to take good care of him. However, Juan and Gonzalo did not take Pizarro's words to heart.
The Inca King Manco was placed by Pizarro in a larger courtyard in the backyard of the palace of Viracocha. There are more than twenty rooms in this rectangular courtyard, where Manco and his seven or eight concubines live, as well as more than twenty maids and servants. Through a small door from this courtyard, you can directly enter the main hall of the Villacocha Palace. In the main hall is the barracks of Juan's cavalry team. Of course, there is also a door leading to the outside of the palace in the backyard of the palace. However, the back door had been sealed by Pizarro's men, and Spanish soldiers stood guard inside and outside the courtyard every day. However, after Pizarro left Cusco, the sentry in the courtyard was removed for unknown reasons.
Usually, except for a few close princes and ministers who came to meet and visit, the courtyard was always quiet. But because there is no Spanish sentry, Manco can leave the palace more casually, and no one will usually ask. Because the Spaniards no longer regard his existence as so important.
Although Manco could enter and leave the palace backyard at will, according to the etiquette of the Inca royal family, the Inca king had to ride in a sedan when going out, and he had to be accompanied by many princes and ministers. It was very loud, pompous and elegant, which could easily attract the attention of the Spaniards. Notice. Therefore, King Manco would not go out easily under normal circumstances.
This afternoon, the Inca King Manco was chatting with the palace priest Biliak Umu. At this time, Tumi Pampa, the palace guard, came to report that Prince Wanaku was visiting. Maharaja Wanaku is Manco's biological uncle. Manco then asked Prince Wanaku to come in.
Prince Huanaku entered the room and knelt down before the Inca King. Then he cried and said, "Supreme Inca King, you make the decision for me!" Manco didn't like hearing this very much and became very impatient. "You tell me what happened," said Prince Wanaku. "The Spaniards forced me to ask for gold. I didn't have gold, so they confiscated my belongings and destroyed the ground in my house." He dug it up. He also said that if I didn’t hand over the gold, even the house would be burned down.”
Manco heard this kind of news more than once or twice, but he could not control what the Spaniards did.
Manco was silent for a long time and said to his uncle in a comforting tone, "I think it's better for you to figure this out yourself. It's not like you don't know that the Spaniards can only control me, so how can I control the Spaniards?" Prince Huanaku said. , "But you are the King of Inca, how can they not listen to your words? As long as you send someone over to tell them that I am the uncle of the King of Inca, they will not refuse to listen."
Manco thought for a while and said to the palace priest Biliak Umu, "How about you go with him and see, Juan and Gonzalo are quite familiar with you, and just say that I sent you here." To intercede." Wumu nodded, helped Vanaku up, and walked out together.
About half an hour later, Juan and a group of people took Wu Mu and Wanaku to the backyard of the palace. At this time, Inca King Manco was drinking with his two beloved concubines. Hearing the announcement from the attendant guard, he hurriedly came out of the main room to greet them. Seeing Juan and others standing in the yard looking around, Manco bowed respectfully to Juan and said, "Captain Juan, please come inside and have a drink."
Juan nodded, asked the others to wait in the courtyard, and followed Manco into the house. The room was relatively large, with almost no furnishings, except for an exquisite wooden table in the middle and a few chairs beside the table. On the table was a pitcher of chicha and several large wine glasses. The Incas drank differently from the Spaniards. The Spaniards generally drank while eating, while the Incas generally drank after a meal. The Spaniards like to have women drink with them, while the Inca people drink and get drunk together.
Juan came to inquire about the gold chain from the Inca King and was not interested in drinking. However, he took one look at the two concubines standing next to the table and immediately felt enchanted and intoxicated. One of these two beloved concubines is Manco's biological sister Okoro, and the other is his cousin Sankara.
Okoro is only seventeen or eighteen years old. He has dark eyes, thick lips, a tall body, and a slender waist. He wears a very thin and small pale white plush vest on his upper body, which makes his two strong Her tall and straight breasts were almost exposed, and her lower body was wearing a very short skirt. The skirt was so short that people could see her thick buttocks and white thighs.
Sankara, on the other hand, is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. Although she is a bit thin, she has pretty features and a smile on her face. She has a lively and naughty wildness. She wore a light black blouse and skirt that matched her bronze skin tone. Her small breasts and slightly raised hips made people think that she was more like an inexperienced girl than a serving king. concubine. The two beauties bowed their heads and placed their hands together in front of their bellies. They stood respectfully and politely at the table, as if they were always serving the king.
Manco asked Juan to sit on a chair and asked his concubine to pour wine for Juan. Although Juan was sitting on the chair, his eyes never left the two beauties. He had seen many young and beautiful Indian princesses and princesses, but he felt that they could not compare with the two princesses in front of him. He kept comparing these two beauties to see which one was more beautiful and gorgeous. However, after looking at them for a long time, he couldn't tell the difference because the two beauties had different charms and their own merits. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that these two beauties were so lovely and charming, and he couldn't help but feel the desire to possess them.
Therefore, when Princess Sankara was holding a jar to pour wine for him, he grabbed the beauty's hand and refused to let go, and asked the beauty to drink with him. Sankara was forced to have no choice, so he filled a large glass of wine for himself, clinked the glasses with Juan, and drank it all in one gulp. When Huan saw that the beauty was young and had a high capacity for drinking, he wanted to compete with the beauty. So, he asked Okoro to pour wine for him and Sankara.
Okoro had no choice but to pick up the wine can and pour wine for Juan and Sankara. The two of them drank from each other with large glasses of wine. After a while, Juan felt that he couldn't hold it anymore. He fell on the table and vomited a lot on the ground. Manco knew that Juan had drunk too much, so he asked the guard to call Letomundo outside the door to help Juan back to the barracks. However, Juan pushed Letomundo away and said, "Don't come here, I just want this beauty to take me back." After saying that, he grabbed Sankara's hand and wouldn't let go.
In fact, Sankara was also a little drunk, but still relatively sober. When she saw Juan holding on to her hand, she seemed a little at a loss. Because the concubines of the Inca kings generally did not see outsiders, let alone hold hands with other men. Therefore, she could not just agree to Juan's unreasonable request.
However, Juan insisted on holding Sankara's hand and insisted that she send him back to the barracks. Moreover, without paying any attention to the Inca King Manco, he said to Sankara, "Beauty, come here and take me back to the barracks." Of course Sankara could not agree to him, but still tried hard to free his hand. However, Juan could not let her go. He grabbed her hand and said to the Inca King Manco, "I can't do it anymore. Let your beauty take me back to the camp. Otherwise, I will fall in your room." ." After saying that, he fell drunkenly on the chair again.
Letomundo also said to Manco, "You'd better ask your concubine to send our commander back to the camp, and we promise to send her back to you soon." Manco saw that Juan was playing tricks and insisting on hard work. He looked like he was vomiting so much filth on the ground. He was very disgusted and disgusted, but he did not dare to offend these Spaniards. After hearing what Letomundo said, he said to Sankara, "Just give it to me." Captain Juan, please go back to the camp, go back quickly." After saying that, he asked Okoro to call two maids to accompany Sankara and help Juan leave the backyard of the palace.
After Sankara left, Manco had been restlessly pacing back and forth in the house, waiting for Sankara to return. However, an hour passed and Sankara still did not come back. Manco said to his beloved concubine, "Sankara hasn't come back for a long time. I'm really afraid something will happen." Okoro also said worriedly, "These Spaniards are like hungry wolves when they see women. , Rape and rob people, lawless." But Manco said, "But Sankara is my people, and no matter how lawless the Spaniards are, they can't bully me, the Inca King."
Okoro sighed softly and said to Manco, "No, send someone over to inquire?" Manco nodded and called the palace guard Tumi Pampa to pick up Sankara from Juan's barracks. However, after a while, Tumi Pampa came back and said, "Your Majesty, I went to Juan's barracks, but the Spanish guard refused to let me in. I said that I was going to Captain Juan to take Sankara back to the palace. However, they told me that Captain Juan had already said that Sankara would not go back tonight."
Manco was extremely angry and cursed, "These Spaniards are really bullying me. They even bullied me, the Inca King." However, he was angry and scolded, but there was still nothing he could do.
