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

At this time, Pizarro greeted the children standing by the door and sat down. At the urging of the Inca princess, the children sat timidly at the table. At this time, Pizarro asked the Inca princess to bring some cutlery and forks. However, the children usually eat meat and food with their hands, and they don’t know how to use knife and forks. So Pizarro and the Inca princess taught them to use knife and forks one by one. However, except for the youngest boy, Bachaliva, who did not know how to take knife and forks, they had to rely on the Inca princess to feed them, the other three children would soon use knife and forks. Not only did they not feel the difficulty, but they felt that eating like playing was very interesting.

It takes at most ten minutes for Pizarro to eat, but this time it took about an hour. Although it took a little longer, Pizarro felt very happy. After he finished the meal, he greeted the children and went out.

Not far from the door is Amas Square. Standing on the square, you can see some Indians demolishing the items on the rostrum and cleaning the ground on the square. They are used to being busy, but now they are almost all major tasks left, leaving only the expedition and march to Cusco. So, suddenly I got idle and said that he didn't know what to do. He thought about it and thought that he should go to various barracks to inspect and see how the soldiers were preparing, and what difficulties and unexpected things were left.

He first came to Soto's barracks. The houses of Soto's squad were in the first two buildings of the barracks. Each house had twenty houses and more than sixty cavalrymen lived. There was also a row of stables dedicated to raising horses between the two houses, and five or six Indians were responsible for feeding the horses. Pizarro came to the first house, but did not go to Soto, but quietly came to a soldier's barracks alone.

The three soldiers living in the room were writing letters to their family members far away in Spain, one was brushing a mesh rope, and the other was lying on the bed to read a book. Pizarro entered the room and saw that the three of them had something to do, and felt very satisfied, so he greeted everyone first, "Hello." Seeing that the commander was coming, the soldiers hurriedly stopped their work, stood attentively, saluted the commander, "please give instructions from the commander."

Pizarro quickly waved his hand to the soldiers and said, "You are busy with your own affairs, I will just come out and take a look." The soldiers were still standing there and said, "We are not busy." Pizarro asked in a very kind tone, "We will march towards Cusco in two days. Are you all ready?" The soldiers said, "Peo nodded and said, "Your team is responsible for the mission of pioneering the road. You may encounter many unexpected difficulties and dangers on the way. You must be prepared in your mind." The soldiers replied, "Captain Soto has been training us all day these days, and has also made sufficient analysis and preparation for all kinds of thoughtful encounters. Please rest assured, Commander."

Next, he came to Gonzalo's squad again. As soon as he walked to Gonzalo's office door, he saw the lights on inside, and he could hear the yelling sounds of people inside from afar. Pizarro knew that Gonzalo must be gathering to make dice and gamble again. Although Pizarro sometimes played for a while, he didn't like the officers and soldiers to be addicted to it, and he treated this kind of thing as a serious matter, and had no time or a limited quantity. If it were normal, he would walk away quickly so that he would not have to let him care, nor was it. However, he was about to march into Cusco, and he had just inspected Soto's squad, so he felt that Gonzalo's behavior was a little intolerable.

So he pushed the door and entered the house. The people in the house were scattering dice beside the lamp, and they didn't pay attention to his arrival at all, so no one advised him. This made him even more angry. He coughed hard, and then someone found out that he was standing in front of everyone, and shouted loudly, "Chief Commander, salute." Hearing the shout, everyone stopped what was in his hands and looked up, but saw Pizarro standing in front of everyone, and immediately stood attentively and saluted respectfully.

Pizarro was not polite, and said to Gonzalo, "Sir Captain, how are your preparations done?" Gonzalo seemed a little overwhelmed and said, "Our team stayed in Kajamaca, there is nothing to prepare." Pizarro said, "Then, I want to ask you, what should you do if Ruminavi really led 200,000 troops all the way?" Gonzalo said, "If you can fight, fight, retreat if you can't fight." Pizarro asked again, "How to fight, how to retreat?" Gonzalo was asked, and he was silly for a long time before he said, "It depends on the situation at that time." Pizarro said angrily, "When you arrive at that time, it will be too late, so you can only give others the wine dish."

Seeing that Gonzalo did not dare to say anything, Pizarro said again, "How are your posts arranged? How are your emergency evacuation arranged? Who is responsible for the garrison of the grain warehouse? How do you take care of the families and property of the officers and soldiers? Have you considered all these?" Gonzalo lowered his head and had nothing to answer. Pizarro slapped the table and shouted, "I will arrange all these immediately. I will check it tomorrow morning. If there is a problem, I will remove your post." After that, he yelled out the door.

Going further forward, there is Almagro's camp. He felt that Almagro himself should be responsible for this place, and there is no need to manage too much. If he manages too much, he will not only not like to listen to it, but will feel that he intervenes too much and manages too much, which will affect the relationship between the two leaders and their officers and soldiers.

He felt that there was no need to see Almagro's barracks, but Mr. Rikelme should still visit him. Since the last time the execution of Inca king Atavalpa, the two sides have been torn apart in order to shirk responsibility and have been quarreling endlessly. They ignored each other and were worried for a long time. Therefore, he felt that he should take the opportunity to improve his relationship.

So he entered the room where Mr. Rikelme lived opposite the barracks. Mr. Rikelme was hugging two young and beautiful Indian women and drinking. These two women were concubines of Atavalpa, the concubines fell into trees and scattered and lost their habitat. Several of them hanged themselves the next day, and some of them did not know where they were in exile and their whereabouts were unknown. The remaining women were all assigned to the treasurer and two other royal members by Pizarro. The purpose was to ease the opposition with the treasurer after the execution of Atavalpa.
