I must draw the reader's attention far away from the period when Pizarro and Manco, Toledo and Tupac Amaru were the protagonists, back to events which occurred nearly seven hundred years before their day. The last Incas ruled in Uiticos between 1536 and 1572. The last Amautas flourished about 800 A.D. Puma Urco, near Paccaritampu The Amautas had built up a wonderful civilization.
It did not then occur to me that much valuable time was thus lost to the Indian cause in idle ceremony; and that Tupac Amaru would have had a better chance of success had he at once swept the country from north to south with his forces, before the Spaniards had recovered from their terror and dismay at their first defeat.
No one seemed to pity them; but, on the contrary, all appeared to exult at the prospect of the slaughter which was about to commence. "The pretended Inca, Tupac Amaru, has been taken," said one man. "No; that is a mistake," was the answer. "But another chief has, though he fought like a lion, it is said." "Who is he?" asked another.
They burn the House of the Sun at Yurac Rumi in Chuquipalpa. Titu Cusi dies. Friar Diego suffers martyrdom. Tupac Amaru becomes Inca. Expedition of General Martin Hurtado and Captain Garcia de Loyola. Execution of Tupac Amaru. Searching for the Last Inca Capital
It will be remembered that after a brief preliminary fire the forces of Tupac Amaru were routed without having destroyed the bridge and thus Captain Garcia was enabled to accomplish that which had proved too much for the famous Gonzalo Pizarro.
No one seemed to heed what he said; and he was led away from the spot by a party of Indians, in whose charge he was given by the chief Tupac Amaru. To his horror, he found that every man, woman, and child among the white inhabitants of the village had fallen victims to the exasperated fury of the Indians.
He had scarcely been two years established in the government, when he resolved to entice from the mountains of Villcapampa where he resided, the Inca Tupac Amaru, the legitimate heir of the Peruvian empire, being the son of Manco Inca, and next brother to the late Don Diego Sayri Tupac, who left no son.
'Such information is utterly useless, he said gravely, 'and the people with whom Amaru alias Jentham associated then are doubtless all dead by this time. 'Well, Miss Whichello didn't mention any of his friends, sir, but I daresay it wouldn't be much use if she did. Beyond the man's former name and business as a fiddler she told me nothing.
There were many enlightened and patriotic men among the Indians; and from all I heard of Tupac Amaru and his family, they were worthy of a happier fate than befell them. I shall have to describe their subsequent history as I proceed in my narrative.
On Palm Sunday the energetic Toledo, surrounded by his council, determined to make war on the unfortunate young Tupac Amaru and give a reward to the soldier who would effect his capture. The council was of the opinion that "many Insurrections might be raised in that Empire by this young Heir."
