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

After the Indian left and right armies formed a siege, the Spanish cavalry had actually been deeply encircled and surrounded by three troops in a crowd of people. Seeing this situation, Pizarro was a little scared and quickly asked the trumpet to whistle and retreat. However, the cavalry had been surrounded and could not be withdrawn at all. So Pizarro asked the trumpet to whistle and finally gathered together. The gathered cavalry began to break out in an impact posture, and finally rushed out of the encirclement. However, the losses of both sides of the battle were very heavy. The Indians were at least three thousand casualties, while more than 60 Spanish cavalry were killed and more injured.

Seeing that the Indian soldiers were continuing to chase, Pizarro hurriedly took the cavalry to retreat to the city. This battle was indeed a serious mistake for the Spaniards. He happened to have the intention of the Indians to fight in Pingchuan, and the casualties were very heavy. Therefore, when Pizarro returned to the city, he ordered all troops to defend tenaciously and not to leave the city.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of urgent rescue letters from many cities and regions such as Cusco and Arequipa were sent to his table one by one. He was annoyed by this failure, and when he saw these rescue letters, he was even more furious. After hearing the secretary Antonio read the letters, he slapped the table and shouted hysterically, "Everyone wants people from me, who do I want people from?"

Antonio said in a calm tone, "Marquis, you can ask for assistance from the King, the Governor of Mexico, the Governor of Nicaragua and the Governor of Guatemala." This sentence reminded Pizarro at once. He blinked and said, "Yes, it's time to ask for reinforcements, otherwise we will die without a burial place." So he rolled up a cigarette and said, "You start the draft immediately. I will send someone to send these letters tonight."

Antonio prepared the letter paper and sat at the wide table, waiting for Pizarro's words. Pizarro was smoking a cigarette and thought, "Dear Mexican Governor Hernando Codiz, due to the national riots in the Indians of Peru, hundreds of thousands of troops have surrounded Cusco and Lima. The number of guards in Cusco and Lima is only about 200, and there are not much ammunition and food left. The Indians attacked the city day and night. Lima and Cusco are in their lives. For this reason, your brother, Governor of Peru, Francesco Pizarro, asks you for 100,000 emergency rescue. Please send two hundred cavalry to reinforce to free the siege of Lima and Cusco. Afterwards, I will give more and more rewards, brother."

Then, he began to dictate the letter to the Governor of Niracagua, asking the Governor of Niracagua to send 200 cavalry to Lima quickly. However, asking for help from the Governor of Guatemala made him feel a little embarrassed. Because asking for the Governor of Guatemala was equivalent to asking for Alvarado, and Alvarado controlled the Guatemala army. However, Alvarado had brought 500 Spanish infantry to Peru. After being incorporated by Almagro, Alvarado was driven out of Peru by Pizarro in disguise, and this time asking him for help was really difficult for him to speak.

However, he decided to ask Alvarado for help. So he said, "Dear Governor of Guatemala and Mr. Alvarado: Governor of Peru Francisco Pizarro asks you for a hundred thousand urgent reinforcements. Because a nationwide Indian uprising broke out in Peru, hundreds of thousands of Indians have surrounded Lima, Cusco, Arequipa and other cities, and the city guards are at most two hundred, and they cannot compete with the hundreds of thousands of Indians. Moreover, there are not much ammunition and food in the defenders, so they cannot get the speed of the governor and the general. Moreover, the guards do not have much ammunition and food.

With rapid reinforcement, all cities will be quickly defeated by the Indians. All the Spaniards will die without a burial place, and the entire expedition will be wasted. This will be an immeasurable loss for the entire Spanish expedition and the hegemony of the New World. For this reason, I ask the Governor and General to look at the overall situation of the Spanish far-reaching cause and immediately send two hundred cavalrymen to support it quickly. For this, I and my officers and soldiers will be grateful, and I am willing to express my gratitude and thank you to you with half of all our wealth in Peru."

After dictating the letter to the Governor of Guatemala and Alvarado, he breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that the conflicts and disagreements with Alvarado in the past have become nothing. Although he has promised to give him half of his wealth in Peru, he feels that as long as he can be freed from the current crisis, he can consider other things in the future.

Finally, he began to dictate his letter to King Charles IV of Spain: "His Majesty Charles IV of Spain: Governor of Peru Francisco Pizarro report to you: Because the Indians carried out great uprisings and riots across the country, they killed many Spanish immigrants in exterminately, and used hundreds of thousands of troops to siege Lima, Cusco and Arequipa for many days. And you also know that there are only two hundred cavalry and infantry guards in Lima and Cusco, while Arequipa only have dozens of guards. These forces cannot confront hundreds of thousands of Indian troops, and there are not much food, grass and ammunition in the city. If you don't have to

With timely reinforcements, the Spaniards in Peru will be killed by the Indians. Spain's expedition in Peru will be destroyed, and the Spanish's hegemony and interests in the entire New World region will also be greatly challenged and greatly lost. For this reason, I beg you to use the authority of the king to order the Governor of Mexico, the Governor of Guatemala, the Governor of Panama and the Governor of Nicaragua to quickly send troops to Lima to reinforce. And beg His Majesty the King to send elite troops from the country to quickly send reinforcements. For this reason, Francesco Pizarro and all the officers and soldiers will be grateful to His Majesty the King and will serve His Majesty the King for the rest of his life."

After the letter was written, Antonio recited the letter again and let him listen. He thought it was very good, so he asked Antonio to call his brother Alcantara.

Alcantara lives upstairs in the administrative building, so soon came to Pizarro's municipal office in Lima. Pizarro put several letters in front of him and said to him in a deep tone, "Now Lima is in critical condition, Cusco is in critical condition, Arequipa is in critical condition, and all over the country is in critical condition. If we do not receive rapid reinforcements from other colonial governors, we can say that we are dead. So, I now delegate you to a very important task to save the current very dangerous situation."

Alcantara looked at Pizarro with a very serious look and said, "Please give orders to Mr. Marquis. No matter what kind of task, I will go through fire and water." Pizarro nodded and said, "Very good." Then, he placed the letter on the table before Alcantara and said, "I want you to send a few letters. You must first go to Panama, then to Nicaragua and Guatemala, and finally to Mexico and Spain. You must send these letters to the Governor and the King in person. You must travel day and night, not rest, and give them to the Governor and the King earlier, and our hope of survival and salvation will be greater."

Alcantara said, "Don't worry, Marquis, I know the crisis between Lima and Cusco. I also know how important these letters are. I will definitely go day and night, even if I don't eat, drink, or rest, I will deliver the letters as fast as possible."

Pizarro nodded with emotion and said, "Good, some of them are all here, my brother." Alcantara also seemed a little excited and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Marquis." Pizarro said, "Everything is ready. I send Chavez to take one hundred cavalry to take you to the port, where there is a large ship, on which there are ten Spanish soldiers, twenty Indian boatmen, and drinking water and food are ready."

Alcantara said, "Thank you." Pizarro shook Alcantara's hand and said, "Okay, wait for your good news, goodbye." As he said, Pizarro sent Alcantara to the door, where Chavez and a hundred cavalry were waiting. So Alcantara stepped on the war horses, and the night was left, and followed the cavalry to rush towards the street to the west.
