Chapter 1085: Heavenly God
The siege of Tucheng continues.
The emperor of the Inca Empire wanted to resist stubbornly to show his iron backbone, but even if the Ming army did not attack the city, there were serious contradictions in the city, and in the case of insufficient food supply, people starved to death on the streets every day, and more and more natives fled out of the city to find the Ming army to surrender.
At first, it was only a small force, after all, the soldiers of the Inca Empire also talked about a sense of honor.
But later, they found that even if there were only a few dozen people hanging around there outside the city, they didn't dare to go out of the city to fight a bloody way, tens of thousands of people couldn't beat dozens of people, and the huge psychological gap made them realize that the other monarch was really a god descending from heaven, so don't be reluctant, surrender as soon as possible.
Surrendering early may save a small life!
In the end, the emperor of the Inca Empire was almost the commander of the light pole, and after being besieged for three months, he finally lowered his arrogant head and tied himself out of the city to meet Zhu Hao.
The emperor was captured, causing a huge sensation in the Inca Empire.
The emperor of the Inca Empire at this time was Vayina in his fifties? Kapac, who had been starving for many days, fainted and fell to the ground after only a few steps out of the city, and was then carried on a wooden frame and sent to the iron ore area sixty miles away from Tucheng...... Zhu Hao was there.
At this time, the iron mining area has been built into a city that is different from the original pattern of the Inca Empire, which is like the West Mountain near the capital of the Ming Dynasty, relying on the mining area, successfully forming a city.
Many of the Incas' frontier people migrated to the mining cities, with populations ranging from 15,000 to 20,000, and many settled in the surrounding villages.
When Vayina was carried into the city, almost all the people of the Inca coast came to see the excitement.
In the Inca Empire, the majesty of the emperor was too high, especially Vayina was the emperor for thirty years, his legitimacy was fully affirmed, he had many children, and his reputation was quite good, of course, as his power reached its peak, the killing became heavier, and those tribes who had a grudge against him fell into bad luck, and many border people were exiled to the sea after taking away all their family property.
Near the coastline was the most barren part of the Inca Empire, far from the ruling center, and it was difficult to survive, so it had been in rebellion before.
……
……
The surrender ceremony was presided over by Guan Dezhao, and Zhu Hao personally came forward to accept Wayna's kneeling.
With the official surrender of Wayna, theoretically the Inca Empire has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Hao knows that this is only the first step for him to occupy the Inca Empire.
"Tell him that he is still the emperor of the Inca Empire, but that his palace can only be located in this city, to help me achieve my rule over the entire empire, and that he can still call the shots.
"At the same time, I want him to send someone to tell the family that from his queen to his children, as well as the ministers, must move here, and if anyone resists, I will send an army to destroy them!"
Zhu Hao did not directly hang the emperor like the Spaniards did later against his son, and replaced him with a puppet.
Zhu Hao felt that it was very good to take Wayina as a hostage.
At least this thing has been the emperor for a long time, and his prestige is there, as long as he is there, his sons, relatives, princes and nobles will not dare to resist.
Wayina thought that even if he didn't lose his life, he would shed a layer of skin, who knew that he didn't endure torture, nor did he pull out to parade on the street and humiliate, so he directly stayed in the "palace" prepared for him by Zhu Hao in advance.
The palace is similar to the villas of later generations, with complete facilities, one floor and one bottom, there are more than ten rooms of all sizes and sizes, and the toilet is the latest flushing toilet, which is very convenient to use, making Wayina a great novelty.
Zhu Hao sent people to serve, and Wayina's food, clothing, housing and transportation were all-encompassing, which seemed to be surveillance and house arrest, but in fact it was also a kind of protection.
Now that there are divisions within the Inca Empire, some hardliners want to fight to the death with the Ming army, and Vayina will be a huge obstacle to them if they are alive, and they will definitely find ways to get rid of Vayina, and sending assassins to assassinate them is the best option.
……
……
At the end of the surrender ceremony, the 50,000 troops brought by Vayina had fled most of them before, and now there were less than 2,000 people in Tucheng, who directly unloaded their weapons and surrendered.
Along with the captured Inca Empire, no one was killed, some of them were to be sent to the southern coal mines to mine, and the nimble ones were sent to the seaside shipyards to build ships, and the reckless men with brute strength were to help carry them, build cities, and forge iron.
What Zhu Hao brought to the Inca Empire was not endless killing and hatred, but more like instilling a new concept, so that they could abandon ignorance and backwardness, embrace a bright future, and become the people of the Ming Dynasty who represent the advanced productive forces, or the people of Zhu Hao, and use their strength to realize the primitive accumulation of capital in Zhu Hao's hands, and then form a more awesome army, so that the soldiers under Zhu Hao's command can get a stage with more space to play.
"Sir, the messenger of the Inca Empire has arrived, saying that he will send 20,000 women, all unmarried, carefully selected beauties from all over the empire, saying that our army can go and take over their capital at any time."
When Guan Dezhao saw Zhu Hao again, he was extremely excited.
Guan Dezhao knows very well what the hidden dangers in the army are now, because he is out on the battlefield, it will take a year, and most of the Ming people are seriously homesick, especially now that they are still in a state of yang and yin decline, there are too few women of appropriate age.
Although Zhu Hao had used some intermarriage methods before, so that some Ming people could get female companions, there were more monks and less porridge, and the situation was not fundamentally reversed.
Now the emperor of the Inca Empire has been captured, and the Inca Empire has only given away beautiful women, gold and silver, etc., as compensation for the defeat in the past, as they have done when they conquered others.
Gold and silver are no longer the most important thing for the current Ming people, because basically the people who go to sea with Zhu Hao, now everyone has at least scavenged or been rewarded with hundreds of taels of silver, and many people have dozens of taels of gold, and these money are enough to live the life of a rich man when they get back to the Ming Dynasty.
On the contrary, it is women who have become the most indispensable strategic resource.
Zhu Hao said: "Let these women quickly learn our language and writing, at least they must be able to talk to our people on a daily basis, and probably be able to read family letters, even if they are qualified." Half of the trained women were sent to the north to alleviate the current predicament. As for the capital of the Incas...... There is no need to occupy it for the time being. ”
Zhu Hao didn't have much interest in sending troops to Cusco.
There may be some resources in the city of Cusco, but because it is too far from the coastline, it is not wise for Zhu Hao to take such a city in the current time period of the primitive accumulation of vital capital and technology, and it is better to hand over the city to the people of the Inca Empire to control themselves.
……
……
Some time followed.
Zhu Hao often had face-to-face communication with the Inca Emperor Vayina, and gradually let Vayina know that as long as the people of the Inca Empire did not resist, Zhu Hao, as the representative of the gods, would not do anything to kill.
"In three years' time, I hope to build a number of cities of the gods near the coast, from north to south, with millions of people, and at the same time help me to build more than twenty mines, each of which must be fully staffed......"
Zhu Hao laid out the future prospects for Wayina.
Vayina went on this expedition and brought a few concubines with him, but did not bring Queen Rava? Oakleigh. This queen had a high status in the Inca Empire and gave birth to her eldest son, Vascal, who was also the crown prince of the empire.
But the last king of the Inca Empire was not Vascal, but his younger brother Atahualpa, who was Vayina's favorite son, and now Atahualpa is leading troops in Quito in the north, which was supposed to be the next direction for the Inca Empire, but now everything is in vain.
Vayina made a request to Zhu Hao: "I hope to summon my sons to my side, so that one of them can inherit my throne, and I can drop everything and return to the city of Cusco to recuperate in peace, and my son will lead the people of the empire to obey the call of heaven and complete the errand you have given me." ”
Ever since she arrived in the mining city, Vayina has spent every day in uneasiness.
As an emperor whose life is strictly controlled, he is afraid that he will be killed or imprisoned forever like the leader of the small tribe that he once defeated, so he would rather be the emperor, pass the throne to the next generation, and become a deserter himself, and go back to live a fairy life without being afraid.
Zhu Hao said: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, you just need to stay here for three years, and you can go wherever you want in the future." But if you resist, I will destroy your country and kill everyone around you...... But no one who is related to you by blood will survive in the world.
"But as long as you obey my commands, and do whatever you ask, then you and your children will remain kings of the Incas, and I will ensure that your people are protected by heaven."
For such a monarch who was brave and brave in his life and had experienced many trials of wind and waves, Zhu Hao used religious methods to paralyze him.
Zhu Hao felt that he had no idea of slaughtering the Incas in the first place, could it be that if he changed the emperor, the Inca Empire would not have the right to fight?
If you want to rely on the people you bring to rule a country with a population of tens of millions, the language and culture of the two sides are not compatible, and it is indeed difficult.
On the contrary, it is better to raze and raze.
……
……
The ship carrying a thousand young girls left the coastal city of SF Express of the Inca Empire.
This is actually the place where the Ming Dynasty landed in the south, with an excellent natural harbor, named SF is Zhu Hao's bad taste, but also has the meaning of wishing his career smooth sailing, now it has become the largest city built by Zhu Hao in South America, the scale is much larger than the mining city, and it is still expanding, the coastal tribes are relying on the Shunfeng City and the mining city, and now the people of these two cities add up to more than 100,000.
SF City does not have a city wall in the strict sense, and now it is the era of hot weapons, and the city wall will collapse after a few cannons, which is of little practical use, so it is better to put more effort into urban construction, such as planning good blocks and relying on various tall buildings for defense. The city of SF expanded rapidly, and as soon as the area was demarcated, a new Inca tribe immediately migrated.
Most of the tribes who migrated directly did not have land in this area, but it did not affect their ownership of distant land, and the Inca Empire was also developed in commerce, and merchants were willing to migrate with the situation, and when they found that SF City was the most promising city in the Inca Empire, they would consciously come to do business.
The civilization of the Incas was not low, but it lacked a catalyst for progress, and now Zhu Hao wanted to forcibly implement Chinese characters here and teach the natives to master the Han language.
In short, Zhu Hao wants to be the "god" of the Inca Empire.
Zhu Hao even planned to take the army of the Inca Empire to conquer the whole world in the future.
