Chapter 15. The Marquis's Little Beauty
The Inca Lesson (Fiction) "The Demolition of the Inca Empire" (Volume 2) Zhang Baotong
Pizarro simply left the house, stood outside the door, and said to the people who followed them from the barracks, "People, you have suffered the harsh rule and exploitation of the Incas. Now we are here to defeat the Incas, liberate you, so that you will no longer be exploited and oppressed, and live a good life again. Therefore, I declare that from now on, you will never have to pay any tax tribute. As long as you abide by the law and discipline, do not infringe on or hurt others, you can do whatever you want, and we Spanish preside over justice for you."
When these words were translated by Martin in Quechua, everyone immediately fell to the ground and kept kneeling and bowing to Pizarro with the piety and gratitude of worshiping the gods. Seeing that the people worship him like a god, Pizarro quickly asked everyone to get up.
A middle-aged man asked Pizarro, "Are you going to leave soon?" Pizarro said, "Yes, we will leave soon, because we are going to Cusco." The man immediately said worriedly, "But once you leave, those Quito people will come."
"Yes, once you leave, the Quito people will make a comeback." People all showed a look of distress. Pizarro waved at everyone and said in a very firm tone, "Don't worry, they will not come again, because we will destroy them all."
At this time, a soldier came on horseback and walked to Pizarro to salute, saying, "Report to Mr. Marquis, Captain Juan and his cavalry guards have also arrived." Pizarro nodded and said to Antonio, "Go to greet Juan and the others, and arrange them closer to the headquarters." Antonio responded, and followed the soldier to trot down the mountain.
With the support of locals, Pizarro traveled around the nearby villages and mountains for a whole day, and had a meal at the village chief's house. When he and Martin went down the mountain and returned to his house, it was already dusk.
When he returned to his house and saw that his house was neatly tidy and clean, he felt quite puzzled because this time he entered Cusco, the mountains were high and the road was far away, and he did not let the princess come with him because she had to take care of the children. Therefore, the house without women was naturally more messy. However, today the house was so neat, which made him feel surprised and puzzled.
At this time, he saw a young and gentle woman walking into the house from outside, shaking her light and graceful waist. The reflection outside at dusk just showed her wonderful outline. This scenery is really breathtaking and soul-stirring. It can only be seen in dreams. Ah, this is the princess I am thinking about day and night, my dearest little pigeon Tutula. He was excited and impulsive, and before Tutula could see it clearly, he rushed over, hugged the girl in his arms, and kissed her like crazy.
With his beloved beauty, Pizzaro felt like he had ascended to heaven. For several days, he either guarded his beloved beauty without leaving home, or took his beloved beauty to nearby villages and mountains for fun or hunting. For this reason, he even felt that he did not want to experience the difficult and boring marches of climbing mountains and crossing rivers every day and preventing the invasion of Indian soldiers.
So he ordered Soto to lead the cavalry team to go south and find out the way, allowing Almagro to lead some cavalry to reinforce. While he set out to establish a colonial stronghold in Haoha to facilitate access from Cusco and Kajamaka; while enjoying the happiness and joy in Haoha, a paradise on earth.
It was almost noon that day, Pizarro had not yet got up. Because he had been lingering with his new beauty Tutula for too long at night and had not had a good rest, he fell asleep after dawn. At this moment, the knocking sound of the door kept waking Tutula, awakening Tutula. She hurriedly woke Pizarro beside her. When Pizarro heard the knocking sound, he asked impatiently, "What's the matter? Is it dead?" As he said that, he asked Tutula to open the door. Tutula hurriedly wrapped her body in a felt, got out of bed and opened the door.
Antonio pushed the door and broke in, saying, "Reporting to the commander, Soto sent someone to report that the Santos cavalry detachment was besieged by Indians, all twelve people were killed, and the heads hung from trees outside the town of Billcas."
When Pizarro heard this, he felt as if he was hit by a thunderbolt. His mind was in shock and he couldn't wake up for a long time. After a long time, he wrapped his naked body in a felt and climbed up from the bed with difficulty, and said loudly, "What did Soto do? I brought a hundred people to kill the 50,000 soldiers of the Inca king sobbed and howled, and the corpses were everywhere, and he didn't even hurt a hair. He said that he had encountered many enemy troops, and twelve cavalry brothers died in an instant. What did he do?"
When Antonio saw Pizarro roaring like crazy, he was so scared that he couldn't even speak. He said in an explanation, "I heard that I had not encountered any large squad of Indians, because there were only a small number of remnants on the way south, at most, only a few hundred or thousands. However, I heard that the person who commanded this group of people was a white-haired old man, and he seemed very experienced in dealing with the cavalry."
Pizarro frowned, thought for a long time, and then said to himself, "No one except Charkuchima, may be able to do such a thing." Then, he asked, "What's going on in Charkuchima recently?"
Antonio said, "Don't pay much attention." Pizarro cursed, "Bastard, why didn't you pay attention? Do you think that damn Indian would obey and listen to us honestly?" Antonio was scolded so hard that he dared not say anything, but stood by the bed motionless. Pizarro shouted, "Why are you still standing here? Check me out and see what the cunning and insidious Indian old man is busy with during this period?" Antonio quickly replied, "Yes, sir."
After Antonio left, Pizarro sat there blankly. He felt that the Indians who could deal with the Spanish cavalry in such a way could be considered a genius. Apart from the Chalkuccima, he had never thought that there would be anyone else like this. Because the Indians did not seem to have any practical experience or means to deal with the impact of the cavalry. They even felt frightened and frustrated when they saw the war horses, because they regarded the horses as a divine object.
However, there was no clue or reason to support this speculation. Because Chalkuccima was always held by them, he could not contact the outside world at all. Therefore, this made him doubt the conclusion that he had just developed based on perception. He just wrapped his body in a thick felt and sat for nearly two hours. He still couldn't determine whether this matter was related to Chalkuccima. However, he still wanted to inquire and investigate.
So he quickly put on his military uniform and left the dormitory. He asked someone to find Martin, Juan and others. After a while, Juan brought four soldiers including Letomondo. Everyone followed Pizarro to a row of houses in the military dormitory. The front of the house was full of guard posts. This place was a restricted area and was taken care of by Juan. Without Pizarro's consent, ordinary people were prohibited from entering and leaving the place.
