Chapter 24. Execution at the stake
The Inca Lesson (Fiction) "The Demolition of the Inca Empire" (Volume 2) Zhang Baotong
Pizarro suddenly realized, and couldn't help but feel a little angry. He slapped the table and said, "This is why you poisoned Topalka. You cunning conspirator, we treat you as your friend, but you are betraying us." Chalkuccima curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Dear Marquis, do you think we can be friends?" Pizarro said, "Of course, it depends on whether you want it." Chalkuccima asked, "What are the conditions?" Pizarro said, "As long as you are willing to persuade your past subordinates and soldiers to surrender to me." Chalkuccima just smiled and said, "Forget it, don't talk to you so much, it's useless to say more. You should do what you should do."
Seeing that Charkuchima did not want to plead guilty, Pizarro had to pronounce the sentence, "Based on the various crimes committed by Charkuchima, the Indian army commander Charkuchima is now sentenced to stolen, and it will be executed immediately."
At this time, it was the Bishop Vicente de Valverde. He always appeared at this most terrible moment, using this extreme fear to convince people to change their faith. He came to the judge with the old Bible and said to Chalkuccima, "May God bless you, General Chalkuccima. Before you suffer the most severe stolen, I want to persuade you to join Christ in the name of the Lord. If you want, please kiss the Bible, and the Lord will forgive you and save you from the great pain of this extreme punishment, and only the much less painful hanging."
He smiled coldly and said, "I don't understand the religion of you white people. Because it only brings pain and disaster to me and our Incas. I only believe in the Sun God, and only the Sun God can make me feel light and warmth." The bishop was very disappointed with his answer, because under his persuasion, no one had ever answered him in this way. So he had to sigh, act helplessly, and leave angrily from the side of the Chalkucchima full of firewood.
At this time, the soldiers had already lit the firewood in front of the Chalkuccima. The fire quickly burned, and it became bigger and bigger. The hot heat wave rushed towards him, making the judge hide behind. However, he was tied to the pillar and could not hide. The blazing fire would soon burn on the Chalkuccima.
At this time, Pizarro walked up to him again and persuaded in a very pertinent tone, "General Chalkuccima, I will give you another chance now. As long as you are willing to persuade your soldiers to surrender to me, I will release you immediately and let you take the important position." However, Charuccima just shook his head without answering. Seeing that the old Indian man was still so stubborn when he died, Pizarro couldn't help but burst into his heart, and shouted at the soldiers, "Burn hard for me." Then he returned to his seat in the presidency in anger.
The fire soon burned on Chalkuccima, and Chuckchama shouted loudly, "The sun god and General Kiskis avenge me!" He gritted his teeth at first and wanted to persevere, but he couldn't hold on at all, so he screamed "ah, oh, oh" and finally screamed at the top of his lungs. However, this sound lasted for about a few minutes or more. In the end, he could only hear the crackling sound of firewood and the whistle of the wind. People could only see the fire rising higher and higher, burning more and more than one person, and they could never see that figure again. The Chalkuccima, who was willing to die, made the Spaniards shudder. If the Inca Empire had more such dead soldiers and fewer people who were greedy and afraid of death like Atavalpa, how could they be conquered?
Finally, when the fire gradually faded, the pillar was gone, and the human body was no longer seen. In the pile of carbon ash that had become ashes, there was a skeleton burned into carbon black scattered in the residual ash fire.
The soldiers present witnessed the entire process of the stolen, and their body and mind seemed to have suffered a serious torture and torture. Many of them had never witnessed the cruel scene of a person being burned to death by the fire. Many soldiers closed their eyes on the spot and did not dare to look at it. Many people immediately felt nauseous and vomited, and some even fainted on the ground. Therefore, after the stolen, the soldiers felt discouraged, weak, and even respected and sympathized with the victims, and felt sincerely disgusted and disgusted with their judges. At the same time, they couldn't help but wonder, if there were more Indians like Chalkucchima, how could this country be in the current situation?
Burning Chalkuccima has always been a wish for Pizarro to vent his personal anger. However, after burning Chalkuccima to death, Pizarro did not feel a trace of pleasure, but was full of frustration and worries. In fact, this method neither scared Chalkuccima nor gave the soldiers the excitement of the victory of the conquest. On the contrary, what he really felt was a sense of frustration. Because in his personal contest with Chalkuccima, he did not have the reason or advantage, but adopted a high pressure and deception method, and these two methods ended in failure.
On the contrary, although Chalkuccima was burned to death by him, his indomitable behavior of treating death with his home shocked and moved everyone present. Therefore, when he thought about this, he regretted the execution of Chalkuccima with the stake, and felt that doing so was a blind and childish impulse.
Afterwards, he returned to the office alone and sat on a chair, frowned and smoked. Tutula prepared the meal and asked him to eat, but not only did he not eat it, but his attitude was also very irritable, which scared Tutula so much that he hurriedly retreated.
The sun was bright at noon, and you could see the scenery in the deep valley from the window. However, his upset thoughts made him feel that some of the things in front of him were so empty and boring. Looking back on everything he did when he came to this country, he led the soldiers to win some great victory and gained a lot of gold, but he has always played the role of a murderous devil. In this regard, although no one will do anything to him now, history will judge him one day.
