Ngesikhathi sokubekwa esihlalweni sobukhosi okuzayo kukaMoctezuma Xocoyotzin, umbusi wesishiyagalolunye weTenochca, eMexico City-Tenochtitlan wayebhekene nezikhathi zesiyaluyalu sangempela, njengoba sekuneminyaka eminingi kungenzeki.
Egcekeni elingcwele, izinsizwa eziphethe ukunakekelwa nokuhlanzwa kwamathempeli zashanela ngamandla phansi ukuze zibashiye zikhanya usuku olukhulu; ngokufanayo, abapristi babeqondisa umhlobiso wama-altare azosekela izithombe ezingcwele, okwathi, ziqoshwe ematsheni noma zafaniswa nobumba noma imbewu ye-amaranth, babengofakazi abathule kulokho kuphithizela kwabantu.
Ngaphandle kwenkompolo, ezindlini, ezimakethe nasezigcawini zomphakathi, abantu abakufihlanga ukulindela kwabo kokuqala kwemikhosi, belindele ngokulangazela ukubuya kokunqoba kwamabutho ayalelwe yinkosi esanda kukhethwa, Babezobamba amakhulu eziboshwa eTepeaca ababezobona ukuphela kwezinsuku zabo ngohlaka lwemikhosi esemthethweni yokubekwa esihlalweni.
Yayinkulu-ke injabulo edolobheni laseHuitzilopochtli; Sezadlula lezo zinsuku ezidabukisayo lapho abantu baseMexico bekhala ngokufa kombusi wabo wangaphambilini, iqhawe elinesibindi u-Ahuízotl, owayebuse iminyaka eyishumi nesithupha eTenochtitlan, enikeza ukuchuma okukhulu embusweni wakhe futhi enweba nemingcele yawo esifundazweni esikude saseXoconosco, lapho ukhokho oyigugu owawusetshenziswa ezimakethe njengemali eqala ukufika khona.
U-Ahuízotl, "inja yasemanzini", washona ngo-1502, ngemuva komzimba wakhe, ekhathele yiminyaka futhi wehliswa ukushaywa okunamandla ekhanda ngensika yesigodlo sakhe ngesikhathi kubhujiswa uzamcolo wokugcina washaya umuzi, wangabe esakwazi ukuthatha.
Lezo zinsuku zosizi zaphela lapho i-tlatocan, umkhandlu ophakeme owakhiwa abaphathi abadala kanye namalungu aphezulu ezempi, wakhetha umlandeli ka-Ahuízotl phakathi kwabathile abazongenela ukhetho: umshana wakhe, uMoctezuma Xocoyotzin, indodana ka-Axayácatl, owesithupha we-tlatoani tenochca, futhi, wayengomunye wabazukulu bakaHuehue Moctezuma Ilhuicamina, lowo mbusi onamandla abantu baseMexico abamncoma kakhulu ngesibindi sakhe empini nangendlela yakhe yokuphatha ngobuhlakani; Kwakungaleso sikhathi esedlule esikhazimulayo esathonya u-Axayácatl ukuba aqambe indodana yakhe ngendlela efanayo: Moctezuma, okusho ukuthi ngolimi lwaseMexico kuthiwa "umnumzane ohwaqabele ubuso", okungukuthi, lowo obonisa ukuqina komlingiswa wakhe oqinile ebusweni bakhe. IMexicoa, ukumhlukanisa neMoctezuma yokuqala, yabuye yambiza ngoXocoyotzin, "insizwa."
Ngenkathi kwaziwa isinqumo se-tlatocan, izithunywa zaya ethempelini lapho uMoctezuma ayezomazisa khona ngesinqumo esithathiwe. Ngaphandle kwezimanga ezinkulu, wamukela umsebenzi onzima wokuqondisa iziphetho zombuso waseMexico, wathola izinkulumo zothando zokwesekwa ezivela kubangane bakhe nasemndenini wakhe, futhi wazilalela ngokucophelela izinkulumo ezibabazekayo zokuhalalisela zabaholi beTexcoco neTacuba, abammemela hlanganisa futhi udlulise impumelelo enkulu yalabo abangaphambi kwayo, ihlale ifuna iMexico ibuse phezu kwendawo yonke eyaziwayo.
Njengesenzo sokuqala nesokubuyisana sokubusa kwakhe kwesikhathi esizayo, uMoctezuma waqoqa inani elikhulu lamaqhawe anekhono aseMexico naseTexcocan, ahamba nawo aya esifundazweni samavukelambuso iTepeaca ukuze abambe inqwaba yamaqhawe esitha, ayezonikelwa ngesikhathi imikhosi eyayizokhomba ukuqala kokubusa kwakhe.
Ukubuya kokunqoba kwamabutho kwakugujwa ngentokozo enkulu ngabantu, futhi kwavumela uMoctezuma ukuthi anikeze inkolo yokudumisa uHuitzilopochtli izinsuku ezine, phezu kwethempeli lakhe, kuze kufike usuku lokubekwa ngokusemthethweni esihlalweni sobukhosi.
Ngalolo suku ekuseni, ilanga elikhazimulayo lalikhanyisa iTenochtitlan ekhazimulayo, maphakathi namachibi asobala. Abaholi abaphezulu, amadoda amadala ahlakaniphile kanye nabaholi bezempi baya kulo mkhosi, futhi ngisho nababusi bezinye izizwe, njengalabo baseMechoacan noTlaxcala, ababehlangene namalungu ezikhulu zaseMexico, babemenyiwe ukuba babe ngofakazi balowo mcimbi owawungakaze ube khona.
UNezahualpilli, umbusi waseTexcoco, nenkosi yaseTacuba, besizwa uCihuacóatl waseTenochtitlan, indodana kaTlacaélel onesibindi, wagqokisa uMoctezuma nezingubo ezazimkhomba nonkulunkulu bokuqala: uXiuhtecuhtli, uTezcatlipoca kanye noHuitzilopochtli. Imigexo yeJade yazungeza intambo yakhe namasongo egolide acwebezela ezingalweni zakhe, kuyilapho itilma eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emboze umzimba wakhe uqiniswe ukuzisola nokubhonga kwezimpi zokunqoba.
Kodwa-ke, ubunikazi bombuso ophakeme wanikwa ubucwebe begobolondo kanye nezimpaphe ayezokugqoka engalweni yakhe yangakwesobunxele, indandatho yegolide yasekhaleni ayezokugqoka, ngokugcotshwa, esikhunjeni samakhala, futhi ikakhulukazi i-xiuhitzolli, noma umqhele wegolide okuhlotshiswe ngothokozi; Zonke lezi zimpawu eziyigugu zamgunyaza njenge-huey tlatoani yaseTenochtitlan nomphathi wawo wonke amazwe asemngceleni welanga.
Imikhosi ibijatshulelwa ngabaculi abaningi abashaye izigubhu zabo ngenjabulo, ama-teponaxtles, imitshingo nezimpempe, behambisana nemidanso enesizotha ebigcina kuze kube sebusuku kakhulu, yize bekunemililo eminingi kakhulu ekhanyisiwe kangangoba abantu abebebuthene lapho bekungathi bayaqhubeka nokugubha phakathi kwamabili. ukukhanya kwelanga.
Njengesilinganiso sokuqala sokubusa kwakhe, uMoctezuma wazisa inkantolo yakhe ukuthi kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuya phambili yilabo bantu abasha abangafakazela uzalo lwabo abebezomsebenzela, kuqedwe abantu abavamile abake basebenzela amakhosi angaphambilini.
Ngokushesha ngemuva kwalokho, uMoctezuma waqala ukunqoba kabusha kwabantu ababesebenzise ithuba lokuthi bavuke, ukuze banqobe izifundazwe ezintsha, lapho afaka khona intela eningi; Ngakho konke lokhu, ukwazile ukwenza igama lakhe libe, ngaphakathi nangaphandle kombuso, isizathu sokwesaba nenhlonipho.
Le kwakuyimikhosi yokugcina ukubekwa esihlalweni sobukhosi kwe-Mexica tlatoani izakhamuzi zaseTenochtitlan ezazicabanga. UMoctezuma wayithatha ngokungathi sína indima yakhe njengomfanekiso ophilayo kankulunkulu uXiuhtecuhtli, enza ngokweqile isimilo esasilawula ukwenziwa kwemikhosi eyayisesigodlweni; akekho owayengambheka ngqo emehlweni noma amfulathele. Abalobi bezehlakalo baseYurophu bakhuluma ngokubukwa kwamakhasi emisebenzini yabo yansuku zonke futhi ikakhulukazi kulabo abasemthethweni nangokwesiko; isibonelo, akazange asebenzise okwesibili amasudi ayewagqokile neziqukathi lapho adla khona.
Lo tlatoani wesishiyagalolunye ohlwini lozalo lwaseMexico-Tenochtitlan uzobhekana nesiphetho sakhe emhlanganweni abewubambe noHernán Cortés kanye nabaphathi baseSpain abamphelekezele, esigabeni somgwaqo Iztapalapa, ekuqaleni kwenhloko-dolobha yase-Aztec; lapho umbusi wendabuko wayezokwamukela ukaputeni wase-Iberia ngendlela enobungane, ngaphandle kokusola ukuthi ngesikhathi esifushane wayezofa ngendlela eyihlazo ekuqaleni kwempi, eyayizophela ngo-1521 ngokubhujiswa kwedolobha lakhe alithandayo ...
