ABSTRACT
This chapter explores how Tupac Inca Yupanqui set out from Cuzco, how he conquered all the country from thence to Quito, and touching his great deeds. A garrison, with mitimaes, and a governor selected from among the most faithful of his friends, were left in Cuzco. The Inca then set out, taking, as his captain-general and chief councillor, his uncle, Ccapac Yupanqui, not he who made the war against those of Xauxa, for that chief had been put to death owing to some offence he had given. The Inca arrived at Xauxa, where the Huancas prepared a solemn reception. Thence he sent messengers in all directions, announcing to the people that he desired to win their friendship, without giving them offence or making war. In Caxamalca the Inca left people of Cuzco, that they might instruct the natives touching what they should wear, the tribute they should contribute, and how they should worship and reverence the Sun as their god.
