I was actually going to have dinner at his house with a president.

This was something Lei Huanxi had never thought of before.

Lei Huanxi's previous idea was that President Kuchinski would definitely arrange a state banquet or something.

But at home?

Is this a habit in this country?

The same thing is said, since it comes, you can feel at ease.

Everything was arranged by Mokina.

He appeared in front of Lei Huanxi on time and made proper arrangements.

From the hotel to President Kuchinski's home, Mokina has been introducing Lima's history in a very reasonable manner along the way.

This is a historical city.

"It is divided into two urban areas, old and new," Mokina pointed out of the car window and said: "The old urban area is located in the north of the city, close to the Rimak River. The streets extend from northwest to southeast, and are parallel to the Rimak River. The streets are mostly named after the provinces and cities of Peru, with narrow blocks and low houses, and most of them were built during the colonial period.

There are many squares in the old city, the most famous of the armed square in the center of the city. With this square as the center, streets extend radially to all corners of the city, and the streets are paved with large stone slabs, making them look ancient and ancient. There is a fountain in the center of the square, with splashing water and misty mist, which shining crystal clear in the sun, making the city look particularly lively.

At the east end of the square is a Catholic church built in the 17th century, which maintains a strong Spanish architectural style. There is a silver altar inside the church, a small chapel with exquisite architecture and a glass coffin of Pizarro, the leader of the Spanish colonial army, that year."

"Pisaro? Is it the Pizaro who destroyed the Inca Empire?"

Lei Huanxi suddenly remembered this name.

"Yes."

Lei Huanxi became even more curious: "He was a colonist back then, but you still keep his coffin now?"

"This." Mokina seemed a little embarrassed about this issue:

"Pisaro is indeed a colonist, but he has made great contributions to Lima today. For example, the Armed Square was designed by Pizaro himself."

Lei Huanxi no longer asked questions.

However, it was still difficult for him to understand the carefully preserve the coffin of a colonist.

Maybe my status in the future Horahawk can be so high?

perhaps.

From this point of view, Pizarro might be his role model.

Mokina was afraid that the other party would continue to ask:

"As for the streets in Xincheng District are wide, tall buildings and huge in size. Many museums are gathered around the Piazza Bolival. There are the Republic Museum built in the early 19th century, displaying precious paintings before and after colonial rule, manuscripts, ethnographic and archaeology museums that display culture, art and historical relics before and after colonial rule, as well as religious courts used by Spanish colonists as religious courts from 1570 to 1820, as well as exhibition halls, etc.."

No matter how you say it, it is inseparable from the colonists.

Lei Huanxi asked casually: "How did the name Lima come from?"

"I really can't answer you accurately." Mokina actually said:

"The colonists named the city Ciudad de los Reyes, which means the city of kings, because the groundbreaking date of the city was founded on January 6. It was during the Epiphany. However, the local name Lima was passed down and its origin became a mystery, which means "yellow flower" in Aimala, and also means "speaking" in Quechua."

Lei Huanxi was speechless again.

The capital name of each country has its origin.

There are few exceptions.

But now I have encountered a national capital that I can’t even explain why it is called!

OK, okay, maybe it’s because I’m too rare and weird.

Well, but I happened to ask about the Inca Empire.

This time I came to Peru to find treasures of the Inca Empire.

"Mr. Mokina, tell me about that Pizarro and how he conquered the Inca Empire back then."

Lei Huanxi pretended to be very casual and asked.

"Of course, Your Majesty the King." Mokina was too familiar with all the history related to Peru:

"Pisaro was originally a Spanish gangster who knew nothing, but he was greedy and adventurous. In 1532, he led his army to invade Peru and was resisted by the local Indians, that is, the Incas.

The cunning Pizarro saw that he could not win with force for the time being, so he used deception methods and lured the unarmed and unwarranted Inca king Atavalpa and his subordinates into a square surrounded by heavy troops in the name of meeting, in an attempt to force the Inca king to surrender and be loyal to Spain. Atavalpa was righteous and righteously rejected the unreasonable demands of the invaders. Atavalpa was ambushed everywhere, and the fully armed Spanish colonial army rushed towards the unprepared Incas with great momentum.

The Incas fought to the death and moved forward bravely. In the end, tens of thousands of Inca soldiers were brutally massacred, and the Inca king was also arrested.

Pizarro put him in a cell and ransomed the Incas, proposing that as long as the Incas fill a room 22 feet long, 17 feet wide, and more than one person high with gold, and fill two smaller houses with silver, the Inca king could regain his freedom. When the Incas met his conditions with an unprecedented huge amount, 13,265 pounds of gold and 26,000 pounds of silver, Pizarro, who received the gold and silver, was betrayed and hanged Atavalpa on false charges.

In 1535, Pizarro, which almost conquered Peru, established a new city in an oasis on the banks of the Lima River. Everything was built according to the traditional Spanish form, with graceful structure and exquisitely carved shapes. The streets are said to be paved with gold and silver. This is the birth of the kingly city of Lima."

Speaking of this, Mokina remained silent for a moment and continued:

"You just mentioned why we are still keeping Pizarro's coffin? In fact, one reason is that we need to constantly reflect. After conquering the entire Inca Empire, Pizarro, a Spanish gangster, transformed into the actual ruler of the Inca Empire's land.

During his conquest and rule over Peru, this shameless colonist not only plundered all the wealth of the Indians, but also wanted to destroy all valuable documents and archives, destroy the magnificent temples, tombs, and monuments of the Incas, and caused one of the greatest catastrophes in human history. The ancient and wealthy empire of the Incas became desolate.

Today, when Peruvians step into this gloomy and terrifying cathedral that preserves Pizarro mummies, they can't help but recall this tragic and bitter history with a deep feeling."

Lei Huanxi felt a little dissatisfied with it.

These history do not need to be remembered by a coffin or a shameless mummy, but it only leaves a humiliating history.
