Chapter 32. Redistribution of Gold

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

At this time, several soldiers had already removed the heavily guarded tent. What was presented to the soldiers were pieces of golden ingots. However, compared with the gold ingots worth 4,000 pesos and weighing for 45 pounds last time in Kajamaca. However, these gold ingots were still delightful and exciting for Almagro's subordinates who obtained very little in that distribution.

Antonio continued, "Pissaro, commander of the Spanish Expeditionary Force, and General Almagro, each received 13 shares, each of which was 7,800 gold pesos." Two soldiers in charge of distribution moved the thirteen gold ingots into the bamboo baskets of Pisaro and Almagro respectively.

"Captain Hernando, Soto comforted him, Captain Juan each received 4 shares. Captain Gonzalo, Antonio and Legiza received 3 shares. All the other cavalry were divided into two shares, and all the infantry were divided into one." Antonio announced that Captain Gonzalo, who had just arrived from Cajamaca, was commanding the distributors to distribute to the soldiers. After the soldiers obtained the gold ingots, they left the team with their gold ingots and hummed a cheerful song and walked towards their dormitory.

If a person had a few golden pesos in Spain at that time, he could live a good life comfortably. However, a person suddenly had six hundred or thousands of golden pesos at once, what would this be a concept!

The soldiers were like wealthy rich men. When they returned to the dormitory of the barracks stationed in the palace, they set up stalls to fight and gamble. Perhaps gambling was a national spirit or nature of the Spanish, and they could especially raise their fighting spirit and passion. They threw dice and played gambling, just like charging forward on the battlefield without hesitation. Therefore, in the dormitory of the barracks, soldiers gathered and gathered to gamble everywhere.

The most lively place is in a large house with more than 30 square meters in the Pachakutek Palace, not far from the Vainakabak Palace. This room is now used as the office of the Juan Cavalry Team. In the office, there is nothing else except a small wooden bed for duty, and a few large wooden tables and dozens of wooden chairs. So, at first glance, it doesn’t look like an office, but a simple casino.

The house was quite large, but at this time, more than half of the soldiers from more than 60 cavalry squads gathered here, which made the house very crowded. Several large wooden tables were seized by people early on, so that those who came late could only stand beside them and watch the game without a chance to play.

However, there is a table that is always empty. It is not that everyone doesn't want to sit up, but that everyone dares not sit up. Because everyone knows that this table is often used by Juan and the others. Usually, except for Letomondo, Alonso and Legiza, few people dare to compete with Juan on the same stage. This is not that skills are inferior to people, but that wealth is inferior to people. Almost no soldiers don't like gambling, but most of them make small fuss, and Juan and the others can basically be said to be playing heartbeat and excitement. Every time Juan and the others set up a battlefield, there will always be many soldiers watching and cheering, and even many soldiers in the barracks in Almagro would come to view.

After a while, Juan, Gonzaro, Letomondo, Legiza, Alonso and the other two soldiers sat one by one at the table. Suddenly, behind them were surrounded by soldiers from the inner and outer three layers. Juan took out his two pure gold treasure bowls from a marching bag, and the small bowl contained four bright ivory dice. This was bought by a Spanish soldier who had just returned from Spain for a high price of hundreds of golden pesos.

He put the small bowl on the table and said, "We are still the same rule. Play with big pressure and small. Each person shakes three times each time, and the maximum number of points shall prevail." Big pressure and small is the most common and simplest way to play in Spanish gambling, which is to compete with the size of points head-on.

Seeing that everyone else had no objection, Juan said, "Everyone has distributed a lot of gold. Today we will play with heartbeat. How about the bottom of the bottom of each time? "Occasionally, we always use one or two golden peso as the bottom. When we heard that Juan had to press at least five golden peso at a time, everyone felt that it was a bit too big. Although we used to play with five golden peso, since we left Kajamaca, everyone felt that the money on hand was getting smaller and smaller, so we no longer had such a big bottom. Generally, it would be amazing to press one golden peso or at most two golden peso.

One of the soldiers thought it was too big and suggested, "Putting five golden peso is too big, otherwise, what about we just pushing two?" But Gonzalo, who had just arrived from Kajamaca, lit a cigarette while shook his head disdainfully and said, "It's so boring to play so little gambling, it's not painful or itchy."

At this time, several people next to him shouted at the same time, "Who thinks the bottom is too big, I don't think it's too big." Letomondo and Legiza thought that playing five bottoms was too big, but seeing that Juan and Gonzalo didn't want to be small, and there were so many people scrambling to watch the formation, it was difficult to show a shabby look, so they echoed, "There are only five, what are you afraid of? Today we are a lion and meet a tiger. It's hard to say who is afraid of whom." Seeing that everyone wanted to play with heartbeats, they had to give up their seats if they didn't want to play, so they reluctantly agreed.

Legiza first served as the banker. He put four dice in two small bowls, then put the two small bowls together, shook them a few times, and then slammed them on the table. The points of the four dice were three points, two were four points, and one was six points, and a total of seventeen points. Then, he scored a point of sixteen points and a thirteen point, which was the most points.

Seventeen points are actually just points that are neither high nor low, and they are easily surpassed by the next few. However, strangely, except for the two of them, the others did not exceed 17 points, because Legissa is the dealer, and according to the rules that the dealer eats a family when the points are the same, his points are considered the largest. Therefore, the first dealer was very lucky to win more than 30 golden pesos and make a small fortune.

The winning flag made Legisa feel that he was lucky today, so he continued to be on the banker and won two consecutive games. Next, except for Leto Mondo, no one else was on the banker. Everyone played for a while and it was lunch time. However, no one wanted to leave the gambling game, so Juan asked the other soldiers to call everyone's meals from the cafeteria and play while eating.
