In 1492~1495, under the impetus of Ferdinand, Spain changed its historical slow response, starting from Columbus's discovery of the New World, Spain quickly began to establish its American empire in a period of three years. Within three years, more than 10,000 Spaniards, half of whom were Reclamation Corps, moved to the New World of America, and controlled eight strongholds in Newfoundland, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New York, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Cologne to the Bay of Panama, and Port Seguru, covering an area of more than 200,000 square kilometers, equivalent to the future of Britain. This is already more than Portugal has achieved in 50 years. The Portuguese were only going to the East, where a developed civilized society had already existed, while Spain had discovered a new world.

However, this new world is not a completely wild place. For example, the Inca Empire in South America was also at the peak of its strongest and expanding at this time.

It's a bit weird, at a time when Spain's powerful power is pressing down on the Americas, the traditional empires of the Americas are not ready to be harvested at any time, and they are getting stronger and stronger.

But the difference is that the Inca Empire is almost at the peak of its development, and the rise of Spain has only just begun.

……

August 30, 1495.

On a hillside near Quito, Ecuador, Vayna Capac, the eleventh emperor of the Inca Empire, sits in a golden palanquin, followed by more than a thousand nobles wearing gold ornaments. An Indian army of 80,000 surrounded the ancient city of Quito.

"It's been two years...... Emperor Vaina Capac condescendingly looked at his mighty army and the crumbling city of Quito, and couldn't help but sigh, "The war in the north can finally come to an end!" ”

Vayna Capac did not dare to think that his current achievements were comparable to those of his father and grandfather, but he believed that this was a good start, and under his leadership, the Inca Empire would surely reach another peak!

……

The Inca, a mysterious empire in South America, was indistinguishable from myths and legends in its original true history.

……

The first Inca king, Manco Capac, was a clever and resourceful Indian around 1200 AD, who took advantage of the ignorance of the uncivilized people to convince people that he and his wife, Mama Oclius Waco, were the children of the sun god, thus establishing a small Inca nation in the Andes near Cusco, and founded the city of Cusco and established a religion that worshipped the sun god Inti.

He conquered several surrounding tribes and demanded that they convert to the Helios. Manco Capac founded the foundation of the Inca, and after his death after reigning for thirty or forty years, his body was filled with preservatives by the people, and the ancient Inca people worshipped Manco Capac as a child of God.

By the time of the fourth Inca emperor, Meta Capac, the history of the Incas became a little "real" and could basically be read as canonical history. The fifth Inca emperor, Capac Yupanvi, was the pioneer of the Conquest of the Inca Empire, leading the Incas from the Cusco Valley to the Pacific coast, first beginning to conquer the coast. The Incas began to become a powerful state. In the process of territorial expansion, the king became the emperor, and the emperor's authority continued to expand.

By the time of the eighth Inca emperor, Vilacoca, he had already adopted the name of the main god as his name, which shows that the Inca emperor had reached the point of unity between man and god. However, this period was also a turbulent and turbulent era for the Incas, with the Inca Empire first expanding and then encountering the crisis of national extinction.

As a young man, Villacoca led the Incas in their conquests, expanding their territory to 200,000 square kilometers (one-tenth the size of the Inca Empire at its peak) and becoming a powerful empire in South America, but by his later years, the Inca was wary and coveted by his neighbors. The Chanca from the north and the Kolya from the south, simultaneously launched an attack on the Inca Empire.

The combined forces of Chanca were particularly strong, first conquering the Quechuas and then moving further south, arriving at the city of Cusco in 1438.

At this critical moment, the elderly emperor lost the fighting spirit of the year, and could only flee from the capital city of Cusco with the prince Urco.

Seeing that the Inca Empire was about to fall in the long river of history, another prince of Viracoca, Yu Pan Wei, stepped forward to unite the nobles of the Inca Empire to resist the invasion. Yu Panwei used the land to attract troops from neighboring countries to send troops to support, but no country actually sent troops. Despite this, Yu Panwei took the lead and led the Inca army to fight back, defeating the Chanca coalition in one fell swoop, and the Chanca warriors fled north in a hurry, and the Inca Empire passed the first major test in history.

Yu Panwei then seized the throne of the Inca Empire from his father and became the ninth emperor of the Inca Empire. He changed his name to Pachakutk, which means "the one who changed the world."

He may not have changed the world, but he did change the Inca Empire. During his reign, he toured all parts of the empire, listened to public opinions, rebuilt the national capital, promoted immigration, rectified customs, unified languages and laws, demarcated provincial borders, strengthened administration, punished lazy people, and built public granaries to relieve the poor, so that the Inca Empire entered an era of unprecedented prosperity.

In terms of foreign expansion, Pachacutek fought in the north and south, defeated the Kolyans and other tribes in the south, avenged the revenge of the year, thus incorporating the Lake Titicaca region into the empire, and the Inca border into Upper Peru. To the north, the central and northwestern parts of Peru and the important town of Cajamarca were incorporated into the Inca Empire, which greatly expanded its territory and promoted ethnic integration through a policy of tolerance. In 1470, the penultimate year of his life, the Imperial Crown Prince Tupac Inka Yupanki, the father of Vaina Capac, fought in the north and conquered the kingdom of Chimu, which had been passed through ten generations of kings, and the Inca had no rival in South America......

Let's go! The Inca Empire had conquered such a vast land, and in the eyes of the Incas, except for the vast forests and barbarian regions in the east, all the lands were included in the Inca territory, and there was no land for the new emperor to conquer.

However, Vayna Capac had his own ambitions, and in 1493, just as Ferdinand himself came to the New World, the last lord of the Inca Empire led his army north to conquer Ecuador.

I still remember the fierce battle last year, when more than 100,000 Inca warriors lined up in array, armed with sticks made of bronze or hardwood, charged forward in a neat formation, and only dispatched one-third of their troops, and completely defeated the resistance of the Kalia in the field, and Lake Yavarkocha was dyed as a "lake of blood" in that battle.

Today, Inca armies have invaded the ancient kingdom of Quito in northern Ecuador and surrounded their capital.

Quito, a city on the equator, where the northern and southern hemispheres meet. It is an ancient city in South America, which means a place with many people. Here lived the Kitu Indians. In the face of the powerful forces of the Inca Empire, their weak force simply could not hold on for long. Hearing the shouts of the Inca warriors outside the city, the king of Quito had long since lost his fighting spirit.

……

"Dear Incas, Quito has surrendered to us."

The messenger walked up the hill and interrupted the Inca emperor's thoughts.

"Oh, they should have done it a long time ago," said Vaina Capac, with a nonchalant expression, "and let the warriors enter the city, don't loot and kill innocents indiscriminately." ”

"Also, Your Majesty, King of the Kingdom of Quito, says that he is willing to sacrifice his daughter to you."

"Uh-huh......" muttered Vajna Capac, "when I enter the city, let him show me his daughter......
