Chapter 30. Robbery of the Sun Palace
The Inca Lesson (Fiction) "The Demolition of the Inca Empire" (Volume 2) Zhang Baotong
Some people did not grab the things in the garden and flower beds, so they rushed into the Sun Palace Hall. There were more gold objects here than in the garden and flower beds. Not only were there various golden statues, but there were also golden statues and golden mounts of the Inca kings of all dynasties. Each weighed dozens of kilograms. Especially the golden sun with a diameter of about one meter two, which was extremely attractive.
The soldier named Legiza first ran into the hall and grabbed the golden sun. The golden sun was embedded in the stone wall, which was very solid and solid, but the Spanish soldier spent an hour or two to smash it off the stone wall with a butt. When the golden sun fell from the wall, Legiza was almost excited to faint from the altar. He lay on the golden sun, gasping and closing his eyes, and having a dream that had never been before, which was both realistic and intoxicating.
In another big house in the temple, the soldiers also found twelve boxes made of silver. Each box was as high as four meters and one meter wide, containing corn dedicated to the Sun God, because the Indians believed that the Sun God ate corn. Some soldiers broke into the priest's residence and saw that the tableware used by these priests were also made of gold and silver.
There is a golden garden dedicated to the Sun God in the southwest corner of the Sun God. The garden is full of flowers, plants and trees. These flowers and trees actually have the entire process from sprouting to blooming and fruiting. There are also many birds and beasts living in the garden. Birds live in the forest and sing, butterflies and bees collect nectar in the flowers, and people use fountains to water the flowers and plants and feed the birds. This scene is vivid, lifelike, and as fresh as real. Let the west of the garden suddenly enter the garden.
The Spaniards were stunned at once. If someone hadn't seen the golden flowers, which were extremely beautiful and attractive, and could not help but pick them with his hands, he would not have known that these animals and plants were carved with fine carvings of gold and silver, and even the water pipes and springs were made of pure gold and silver. It can be said that everything in the entire golden garden was made of gold and silver. Therefore, the entire garden was snatched away by the Spanish, without leaving any armor.
Then, they rushed to the Moon Palace and the Electric Palace next to it, the Thunder Palace and the Star Palace to rob. The Moon Palace garden was planted with a lot of corn. The corn stalks, leaves and ears were all made of gold. More than twenty sheep and lambs were planted in the cornfield, and a shepherd was driving the flock with a wooden stick. These were all made of pure gold. In addition, there were a large number of large urns, cups, pots and other utensils made of gold, silver or chloroplast, beside the garden. However, this robbery caused the temples and palaces to be devastated and devastating. Not only were all gold looted, but other items in the temples were smashed and destroyed. After the robbery, there were tragic traces and wretches in the temples and palaces.
Soon, all the temples and palaces in Cusco were robbed, but the gold obtained could not satisfy the Spanish's appetite and desires, so they began to target the robbery at the cemeteries of the Inca nobles. They knew that the Inca nobles all liked to wear big earrings and use gold as decorations on their clothes.
As a result, a large area of Inca noble cemeteries outside the southern suburbs of Cusco was in trouble. Hundreds of Spanish soldiers not only sweated and used various tools to dig, but also hired a large number of locals to dig. The entire cemetery became a large excavation site, full of excavated mounds and bones. They dug up the graves, dragged out the bodies that had been sleeping for many years from the grave, and peeled off gold from their clothes.
The bodies in many tombs were rotten and emitted a very unpleasant stench. The Spanish dug while sprinkling strong Chicago wine in the graves. Some of the bodies had been weathered, with only some bones and hair mixed in the thick soil. The Spanish carefully screened and looked for gold from the soil. However, their hard work and excavation did not disappoint them, because each excavation would gain more or less.
However, thousands of tombs were quickly dug up by Spain. At this time, they began to target the royal nobles in search of gold. Because gold was not a necessity in the Inca Empire, but a luxury, mainly used for the decoration of identity and clothing, as well as the decoration of palaces and temples.
They often suddenly broke into a large family, arrested the men in their family for private possession of gold, and brought them to the barracks living in the palace, and tortured them to tell the hidden gold. In the criminal law of the Inca Empire, even if they were just committing ordinary crimes of theft, they would have to be directly sentenced to death, and there was no such procedure for severe torture. Moreover, the Incas were educated since childhood to not tell lies, because lying was a crime, so these nobles could not stand this torture at all and soon confessed to the truth.
On that day, Juan and his soldiers saw a magnificent and tall building. The building was built with huge stones, and the craftsmanship was very particular and exquisite. It must be a very wealthy and wealthy family. So Juan and his soldiers broke in. Although there were people guarding the gate, they could not stop the arrogance and violence of the Spanish soldiers. Therefore, when the gatekeeper saw that it was impossible to stop it, he opened the lock and let the soldiers enter it.
It turned out that this was a royal palace warehouse, with piles of corn piles, piles of velvet flower clothes for the Inca royal nobles, as well as shoes and various weapons for a large number of men and women. However, Juan searched all over the warehouse with his soldiers, but there was no gold and silver they needed. So Juan angrily kicked the gate a few times, and then took the soldiers away angrily.
However, not far from the royal warehouse, they saw another gorgeous and magnificent stone building. So they broke into the courtyard, and the maids and servants in the courtyard were so scared that they hurried to report to the owner. The owner was so scared that he bowed to the Spanish who suddenly entered. But the Spanish ignored these things and went into the various houses to find what they needed. In a large house, they saw more than ten pieces of silver plates that were about twenty or five meters long, twenty centimeters wide and four or five centimeters thick on the ground. These things were used by the family to decorate the house. So the soldiers took the silver plates away as illegally hidden items without any explanation.
