Chapter 31. Huaskar Gold Chain

The Inca Lesson (Fiction) "The Demolition of the Inca Empire" (Volume 2) Zhang Baotong

The next day, they caught another prince who was said to be Uncle Huascar. Some people rumored that he might know the whereabouts of the Huascar golden chain. The Huascar golden chain was a gold chain made by the former king Vainakabak for the prince after the birth of Huascar. This gold chain is dozens of meters long and thicker than people's arms, so that more than twenty strong men could lift it and remain unmoved.

The prince somehow luckily avoided Atavalpa's exterminated massacre of the Wascar family and hid outside with his family until the Quito people were withdrawn from Cusco and Manco was crowned the Inca Queen before he ran back from another place. However, as soon as he returned home, the Spaniards caught him.

The man was about fifty years old, not tall, dark face, and wearing a luxurious and noble Inca robe. At that time, the Spanish did not know that he was Wascar's uncle, nor did he know his relationship with the new Inca king Manco. They just saw the most luxurious and grand house closest to the palace, and believed that the family must have hidden a lot of gold. So they arrested him.

When the Spaniards arrested him, he told the Spaniard that he was the uncle of Vascal and the uncle of Manco, the king of Inca. However, the Spaniards did not listen to him at all, and just asked him where the gold was hidden. He said he had no gold. So the Spaniards started to fight him at the prince's house on the spot. After whipping it down a few heavy whips, the prince told the truth and took Juan and the others to a small stone house in the backyard. There was a large stone slab in the small stone house. When the stone slab was pulled open, there was a hole. The prince lit an oil lamp and took Juan and a few soldiers into the hole.

The cave is made of high-quality stones, more than one person is over thirty or forty meters high, leading to a street behind the house. It is said that he took his family to escape from the cave with his family when the Quito people massacred the Walscar family.

The oil lamp moved in the cave. When he walked to the middle of the cave, he saw several items shining with attractive light in the cave. When the Spaniards approached the items, they were surprised to find that these items were pure gold statues of twelve naked young women. Juan immediately took the oil lamp from the prince and looked at it carefully while illuminating it. These statues were exactly the same size as the real person's figure, charming, calm expression, and smiling on his face. They were simply standing in front of the twelve living Inca beauties, smiling at you kindly.

He sighed several times and shouted, "It's great, it's great." Then, holding up the oil lamp and continuing to shine forward, he saw statues of four tall men and four golden llamas. The size of these men and llamas is the same as the real one. There is a stone platform next to the llamas, with several golden bottles on it, and there are some snakes and crickets in the golden bottles. These snakes and crickets are also made of gold.

Such a rich harvest was beyond their expectations, and it was the biggest harvest of all the robberies. As every soldier present saw these items, he grinned and smiled endlessly. When these items were transported back to the barracks, Pizarro kept saying to Antonio repeatedly, "These gold objects cannot dissolve, and they must be picked out and given to our king. When the king saw these items, he would be unhappy."

This is the morning when the Spanish occupied the capital of Cusco for nearly half a month. The clear sky was clear and clear, and the bright sun had just risen from the East Mountain, shining on the Cusco Valley among the mountains, on the wide and quiet palace square. At this time, the square had more guard posts than usual, and seemed to be more calm than usual, making people feel that something unusual was going to happen here.

A loud military horn broke through the usual calm. Then, teams of soldiers with live ammunition ran out of the various palaces in the square and quickly formed several platoons in the square. Then, under the command of the Spanish Expeditionary Force Secretary Antonio, several platoons formed a large platoon and took neat steps to the front of a military tent set up in advance.

Because the soldiers had long stopped camping in the square, the soldiers were very surprised and puzzled by the tent set up again in the square. Moreover, there were two small teams of twenty-four cavalrymen in charge of the guard standing around the tent. They rode on horseback, holding long swords in their hands, and were on high alert and ready for battle. Seeing these, the soldiers couldn't help but wonder if they were going to fight again?

Pizarro and Almagro, with three Spanish royal personnel, including Treasury Riquelme and several captain officers, came over from the Spanish Expeditionary Force headquarters located in the main hall of the Vainacabac Palace. So everyone stood up and held their breath, listening to Commander Pizarro's command to send a battle order.

Pizarro walked up to the front of the line, waved his hand to the soldiers, and said, "Soldiers, you follow General Almagro and travel thousands of miles to Cusco, making great contributions to our expedition, and winning glory for our Kingdom and Kings of Spain. For this, I pay high respect to you, the brave Spanish warriors."

After a warm applause from everyone, Pizarro said, "For your bravery and achievements, as the commander of the Spanish Expeditionary Force, I will give you a reward today. The reward regulations shall be implemented according to the past plan. This was decided by General Almagro and all senior officers. I hope our decision will satisfy everyone." Everyone finally heard the content of today's meeting and received even more warm applause.

Antonio first took out a notarization signed by the royal officials and read it to everyone, and then took out a distribution decision and began to announce to the soldiers: "In addition to the one-fifth of the gold distributed to the king, the total amount of this time was 580,200 gold pesos and 215,000 silver marks, and the personnel involved in the distribution were 480,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 silver marks, and the distribution was 480,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Therefore, the headquarters had converted all the gold, with a total of 580,020,000 gold pesos, into gold ingots worth 600,000 gold pesos. Each infantry obtained one gold ingot, and each cavalry could obtain two gold ingots. In addition, according to the position and merit of each officer, the share allocated was also different."
