Amasosha aseSpain aphawule ngezinhlobonhlobo zemikhiqizo etholakala emakethe yaseTlatelolco, ngokusho kwalokhu abalingani babo baseTlaxcalans nabakwaZempoaltecas ababatshela khona, ababekwazi ukubaluleka kwalesi sikhungo sokushintshana sabaphathi bama-Aztec.
La mahemuhemu afika ezindlebeni zikaHernán Cortés, owathi, ethintwa ilukuluku, wabuza uMoctezuma ukuthi ezinye zezikhulu zomdabu azethembayo zimyisa kuleyo ndawo. Ukusa bekukuhle futhi iqembu, eliholwa yi-Extremaduran, liwele ngokushesha umkhakha osenyakatho weTenochtitlan futhi langena eTlatelolco ngaphandle kwezinkinga. Ukuba khona kweCitlalpopoca, omunye wabaholi abaphambili baleli dolobha lezimakethe, kwayalela inhlonipho nokwesaba.
I-tianguis de Tlatelolco edumile yayakhiwe ngamabhilidi ngendlela yamagumbi avulekile azungeze ipatio enkulu lapho abantu abangaphezu kwezinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu babehlangana nsuku zonke ukushintshanisa imikhiqizo yabo. Imakethe yayiyisikhungo esisemthethweni esibaluleke kakhulu emnothweni wamadolobha womabili, ngakho-ke kwathathwa ukunakekelwa okukhulu ekugujweni kwawo futhi imininingwane emincane kakhulu yabhekwa ukuvimbela ukweba nenkohliso.
Kwakuvame ukwenqatshelwa ukuya ehlathini kuma-tianguis, amaqhawe asePochtec kuphela asebenzisa imikhonto yawo, izihlangu nemacáhuitl (uhlobo lwamaklabhu anomphetho we-obsidian) ukuphoqa ukuhleleka; Yingakho lapho ithimba lezivakashi lifika nezikhali zalo, okwesikhashana abantu ababezulazula emakethe bema ngokwesaba, kepha amazwi kaCitlalpopoca, owathi ngezwi elikhulu wazisa ukuthi abokufika bavikelekile eMoctezuma omkhulu, wehlisa umoya wabo futhi abantu babuyela emisebenzini yabo ejwayelekile.
UHernán Cortés uqhakambise iqiniso lokuthi yize kunesixuku, kutholakale ukuhleleka kwangaphakathi; Lokhu kungenxa yezikhundla zabaphathi ababeqondisa ezentengiselwano edolobheni, ababefuna ukuthi abathengisi bahlangane emikhakheni ehlukene yepatio enkulu ngokuya ngemikhiqizo abayinikelayo, kwasala phakathi kwabo isikhala esasivumela ukuba bazulazule ngokukhululeka. futhi ubheke kalula izinhlobonhlobo zezimpahla.
UHernán Cortés neqembu lakhe baya esigabeni sezilwane: inkosi yaseSpain yamangala ngokutholakala kwezilwane zendabuko. Ukunakwa kwakhe ngokushesha kwadonswa kuma-xoloizcuintli, izinja ezingenazinwele, ezibomvu noma i-leaden, ezazisetshenziswa emasikweni omngcwabo noma ephekwe emikhosini ethile. Bathola izigwaca ezifana nezinkukhu zaseCastile, yingakho babizwa ngezikhukhukazi zomhlaba.
Kanye nezimbadada kwakukhona ama-teporingos, onogwaja basendle ababegcwele emithambekeni yezintaba-mlilo. AbaseSpain bamangala ngobuningi bezinyoka, okwathi, njengoba batshelwa, benza isidlo esimnandi; lokho uCortés angakwamukelanga kwakuwukuhlonishwa abomdabu abakunikeza lezi zilwane.
Inyoni uCortés ayeyazisa kakhulu kwakuyiTurkey, eyayidle inyama yayo emnandi ngesikhathi ihlala esigodlweni. Ngenkathi edlula esigabeni lapho kwakudliwa khona futhi ebuza ngezitsha eziyinhloko, wezwa ukuthi kwakukhona izinhlobonhlobo zama-tamale ezazigcwele ubhontshisi, amasoso nezinhlanzi.
Njengoba ukaputeni wayethanda ukubona abathengisi begxile ezintweni eziyigugu, washeshisa amagxathu akhe, weqa phakathi kwezitebele zemifino nezembewu, wabheka eceleni emifino, ubuningi obukhulu bopelepele, nemibala egqamile yommbila abenziwe ngayo. Ama-tortilla anukayo (angakaze athandwe).
Ngakho-ke weza emgwaqeni obanzi owakhiwe ngemikhiqizo eyahlukahlukene eyenziwe ngamatshe aluhlaza, imigexo yejade namanye amatshe aluhlaza abizwa ngama-chalchihuites; Wama isikhashana isikhathi eside phambi kwamatafula lapho kwakukhanya khona amadiski egolide nawesiliva, kanye namatshe ayigugu nothuli lwensimbi yegolide, kanye namagugu amaningi nemihlobiso enamanani angajwayelekile akhiqizwa ubuhlakani babakhandi begolide.
Ngotolika bakhe, uCortés wayehlala ebuza abathengisi ngemvelaphi yegolide; wabuza ngezimayini nangendawo ngqo ezazikuyo. Lapho izimpimpi ziphendula ukuthi emibusweni ekude yeMixteca nakwezinye izindawo zase-Oaxaca, abantu baqoqa amatshe egolide emanzini emifula, uCortés wacabanga ukuthi izimpendulo ezingacacile lezo zazihloselwe ukumphazamisa, ngakho waphikelela ukuthola eminye imininingwane ngqo, ngenkathi uhlela ngasese ukunqotshwa kwaleyo ndawo ngokuzayo.
Kulesi sigaba se-tianguis, ngaphezu kwezinto ezibalulekile ze-metallurgical, ubabaza ikhwalithi yezindwangu ezenziwe ikakhulukazi ngekotini, lapho kwakusetshenziswa khona izingubo ezazisetshenziswa yizicukuthwane, umhlobiso wazo wawunemiklamo emibalabala evela ku-lostrap loom.
Ekude wayezwa ukuthi kukhona abathengisi bezitsha zobumba, kanti nezitebele zabelusi bezamakhambi zaheha ilukuluku lakhe. UCortés wayekwazi kahle ukubaluleka kwamanye amakhambi, ngoba wabona amasosha akhe elapha ngo-plaster abafakwa odokotela bomdabu ngemuva kokuhlangana okuthile namabutho omdabu ngesikhathi behambele ugu lwaseVeracruz.
Komunye umkhawulo wemakethe wabona iqembu labantu, njengeziboshwa, elithengiswayo; Bafaka ukhololo wesikhumba osindayo onogongolo lokhuni ngemuva; emibuzweni yakhe, baphendula ngokuthi kwakunguTlacotin, izigqila ezithengiswayo, ezazikulesi simo ngenxa yezikweletu.
Iholwa nguCitlalpopoca eya endaweni lapho ababusi bezimakethe babekhona, endaweni yesikhulumi wayecabanga sonke isixuku esinomsindo ukuthi, ngokushintshana ngqo, nsuku zonke babeshintshana ngemikhiqizo edingekayo ukuze bakwazi ukuziphilisa noma bathole izimpahla ezibalulekile ezahlukanisa izikhulu. labantu abavamile.
