As Spanish conquistators slowly moved through Latin America, they encountered levels of wealth that were unimaginable. Most famously, Incan Emperor Atahualpa was captured by Francisco Pizarro and paid a ransom of a room filled with gold and then twice over with silver. The room was 22 feet long by 17 feet wide, filled to a height of about 8 feet. Such events fired the imaginations of the Spanish, who created myths such as of El Dorado, the “gilded man” who, legend held, was daily powdered from head to toe with gold dust, which he would then wash from himself in a lake whose silty bottom was now covered with gold dust and the golden trinkets tossed in as sacrificial offerings. The story was fake but it lead to real expeditions, some of which were so dangerous that they nearly killed party members. Such is the 1541 expedition led by Gonzalo Pizarro, Francisco’s brother, to find El Dorado, and his well-born lieutenant Francisco Orellana down the Amazon to find these riches. Today’s guest is Buddy Levy, author of River of Darkness: Francisco Orellana and the Deadly First Voyage through the Amazon. He reconstructs the first complete European exploration of the world’s largest river and the relentless dangers around every bend. Quickly, the enormous retinue of mercenaries, enslaved natives, horses, and hunting dogs are decimated by disease, starvation, and attacks in the jungle. Hopelessly lost in the swampy labyrinth, Pizarro and Orellana make a fateful decision to separate. While Pizarro eventually returns home barefoot and in rags, Orellana and fifty-seven men continue downriver into the unknown reaches of the mighty Amazon jungle and river.

On today's episode, we travel to the lofty heights of the Andes, where in the early 1500s Spanish under Francisco Pizarro came across the Inca Empire. The Spanish found the Inca at an opportune time, immediately following the end of a civil war, while wounds were still fresh and tensions ran high, soon culminating in the destruction of the empire. But it was a near thing: and the world could have turned out a lot different if events had gone differently.

(Aniversario de la Carta de Pedro de Valdivia a Carlos V) Cuando el conquistador español Pedro de Valdivia llegó al valle del río Mapocho, usó el peñón como un punto de reconocimiento y mirador, y lo bautizó como Santa Lucía porque era el 13 de diciembre, día de Santa Lucía de Siracusa. Dos meses después, el 12 de febrero de 1541, fundó allí mismo la ciudad de Santiago de Nueva Extremadura, que llegaría a ser la capital de Chile. En la ladera sur del cerro Santa Lucía hay un monumento que consiste en una piedra de dos metros de altura labrada con un párrafo extractado del texto de la carta que envió don Pedro al emperador Carlos V el 4 de septiembre de 1545. Valdivia comienza la carta constatando que han pasado ya cinco años desde que llegó «de las provincias del Perú con provisiones del marqués y gobernador don Francisco Pizarro a conquistar y poblar éstas de la Nueva Extremadura, llamadas primero Chile», y en el párrafo grabado en el monumento describe, con lujo de detalles, aquella nueva tierra: «... y para que haga saber a los mercaderes y gentes que se quisieren venir a avecindar, que vengan, porque esta tierra es tal que, para poder vivir en ella y perpetuarse, no la hay mejor en el mundo: lo digo porque es muy llana, sanísima, de mucho contento; tiene cuatro meses de invierno no más, que en ellos, si no es cuando hace cuarto la luna, que llueve un día o dos, todos los demás hacen tan lindos soles que no hay para qué llegarse al fuego. El verano es tan templado y corren tan deleitosos aires, que todo el día se puede el hombre andar al sol, que no le es importuno. Es la más abundante de pastos y sementeras, y para darse todo género de ganado y plantas que se puede pintar; mucha y muy linda madera para hacer casas, infinidad otra de leña para el servicio de ellas, y las minas riquísimas de oro; y toda la tierra está llena de ello, y dondequiera que quisieren sacarlo, allí hallarán en qué sembrar y con qué edificar, y agua, leña y yerba para sus ganados, que parece la crió Dios a posta para poderlo tener todo a la mano.»1 ¡Con razón que este monumento histórico se yergue orgulloso en el corazón de Santiago! Al hacer semejante descripción, tal vez don Pedro haya estado pensando en el informe que rindieron los doce líderes que Moisés había enviado a explorar la tierra de Canaán. Éstos volvieron con uvas, granadas e higos como muestra de los frutos que encontraron, y confirmaron lo que Dios le había dicho a Moisés: que en esa tierra abundaban la leche y la miel. Sin embargo, entre los doce líderes, Valdivia sólo hubiera podido identificarse con Josué y Caleb. Es que esos dos fueron los únicos que lograron conquistar aquella tierra porque no sólo públicamente dijeron que era «increíblemente buena», sino que también reconocieron que, si bien el Señor quería entregársela a todos, era necesario que Él se agradara de ellos para que lograran entrar en ella.2 Más vale que nosotros determinemos, como Josué y Caleb, que vamos a agradar al Señor, para así hacer también nuestro el cielo nuevo y la tierra nueva que nos ha prometido.3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Wikipedia, s.v. «Cerro Santa Lucía» , En línea 7 enero 2015>; Cartas de Pedro de Valdivia, «Carta al Emperador Carlos V, 4 de septiembre de 1545» En línea 15 octubre 2014. 2 Nm 13-14; Ex 3:8,17; 13:4 3 Is 65-66; 2P 3:13-14; Ap 21

Con apenas un puñado de hombres y la insaciable sed de oro por bandera, el conquistador trujillano venció al imperio más grande de América, convirtiéndose con ello en un héroe para unos y en un villano sanguinario para otros. No fue Francisco Pizarro un hidalgo precisamente ejemplar. Bastardo, analfabeto y, según la leyenda negra, criador de cerdos, el de Trujillo fue un hombre hecho a sí mismo, un superviviente que supo exprimir como nadie sus contadas virtudes para convertirse en uno de los nombres propios de la historia de la conquista española de América. Hijo ilegítimo del capitán Gonzálo Pizarro, nació en 1478. Sobrevivió a una infancia de penurias para, posteriormente, forjarse una reputación de soldado aguerrido en las guerras de Italia sirviendo a las órdenes del Gran Capitán, antes de cruzar el océano en busca de fama y fortuna en dirección al Nuevo Mundo. Allí logró mantenerse durante años en un discreto segundo plano en las expediciones de Alonso de Ojeda en América Central y Colombia y de Vasco Núñez de Balboa, primer europeo en alcanzar el Pacífico.

Me ha parecido bien narrar la biografía de Hernán Cortés porque seguramente para muchos es un misterio. Para otros, un personaje que les suena, pero que no conocen en profundidad. Para las nuevas generaciones que escuchen a según qué líderes políticos, un personaje tergiversado al que llaman asesino, sin reconocer que antes de su llegada allí los había y que si no fuera por él, quizá el mundo tal como lo conocemos hoy, no existiría. Por tanto, vamos a desvelar sus misterios, su historia y sus conquistas y gestas, que muchas veces obviaron incluso las órdenes de superiores cuando éstos querían beneficiar a enchufados que no merecían tal encargo. La vida de Hernán Cortés Hernán Cortés fue un conquistador español que lideró la expedición que derrotó al imperio azteca y sometió a México al dominio de la Corona española. Su vida estuvo marcada por la ambición, el valor, la astucia y la crueldad. En este artículo, repasaremos los principales acontecimientos de su biografía y analizaremos su legado histórico. Nacimiento y juventud Hernán Cortés nació en 1485 en Medellín, una villa de la provincia de Extremadura, en el seno de una familia noble pero empobrecida. Desde niño mostró un carácter rebelde e inquieto, y se interesó por las aventuras de los exploradores que viajaban al Nuevo Mundo. A los 14 años, fue enviado a estudiar leyes a la Universidad de Salamanca, pero pronto abandonó los estudios y regresó a su pueblo natal. En 1504, a los 19 años, decidió embarcarse hacia las Indias, siguiendo el ejemplo de su pariente Francisco Pizarro, el futuro conquistador del Perú. Llegó a la isla de La Española (actual República Dominicana y Haití), donde se estableció como encomendero y funcionario colonial. Participó en varias expediciones a Cuba y otras islas del Caribe, donde se ganó la fama de ser un soldado valiente y un administrador eficaz. La conquista de México En 1518, el gobernador de Cuba, Diego Velázquez, le encargó a Cortés organizar una expedición para explorar las costas de México, donde se rumoreaba que había ricas civilizaciones. Cortés reclutó a unos 500 hombres, 16 caballos y 11 barcos, y partió de Cuba en febrero de 1519, sin esperar la autorización final de Velázquez, quien sospechaba que Cortés quería independizarse de su mando. Tras desembarcar en la península de Yucatán, Cortés fundó la primera ciudad española en México: Villa Rica de la Vera Cruz. Allí estableció un cabildo que lo nombró capitán general y justicia mayor, lo que le permitió romper con la autoridad de Velázquez. También quemó sus naves para impedir que sus hombres desertaran o regresaran a Cuba. Cortés inició su marcha hacia el interior del territorio mexicano, acompañado por unos 400 soldados españoles y miles de indígenas aliados, principalmente tlaxcaltecas y totonacas, que eran enemigos del imperio azteca. En su camino, se enfrentó a varias batallas contra los pueblos locales, que fueron vencidos por la superioridad militar y tecnológica de los españoles. En noviembre de 1519, Cortés llegó a Tenochtitlán, la capital del imperio azteca, donde fue recibido pacíficamente por el emperador Moctezuma II. Cortés aprovechó la situación para tomarlo como rehén y exigirle tributos y conversiones al cristianismo. Sin embargo, su dominio sobre la ciudad fue efímero, pues en abril de 1520 tuvo que salir a enfrentar una expedición enviada por Velázquez para arrestarlo. La Noche Triste y la caída de Tenochtitlán Mientras Cortés estaba ausente, estalló una rebelión en Tenochtitlán contra los españoles que habían quedado al mando de Pedro de Alvarado. Los aztecas sitiaron el palacio donde se alojaban los invasores y les impidieron el acceso al agua y los alimentos. Cortés regresó apresuradamente a la ciudad y trató de negociar con los rebeldes, pero fue inútil. En la noche del 30 de junio al 1 de julio de 1520, conocida como la Noche Triste, Cortés y sus hombres intentaron escapar de Tenochtitlán por un puente construido sobre el lago Texcoco. Sin embargo, fueron descubiertos y atacados por los aztecas, que les causaron numerosas bajas. Entre los muertos estaba Moctezuma II, quien fue apedreado por su propio pueblo al intentar calmarlos. Cortés logró huir con unos 300 soldados y se refugió en Tlaxcala, donde reorganizó sus fuerzas y recibió refuerzos de España y Cuba. En mayo de 1521, inició el asedio final a Tenochtitlán, que duró tres meses y fue uno de los episodios más cruentos de la historia. Los aztecas resistieron heroicamente, pero fueron diezmados por el hambre, la sed y las enfermedades traídas por los europeos. El 13 de agosto de 1521, Cortés entró triunfalmente en la ciudad, que estaba en ruinas. Capturó al último emperador azteca, Cuauhtémoc, y lo sometió a torturas para que revelara el paradero de los tesoros reales. Así terminó la conquista de México, que pasó a ser una colonia española bajo el nombre de Nueva España. La consolidación del poder y los conflictos con la Corona Tras la caída de Tenochtitlán, Cortés se dedicó a pacificar y organizar el territorio conquistado. Fundó varias ciudades, como Puebla y Cuernavaca, y repartió tierras, minas y encomiendas entre sus hombres. También exploró otras regiones, como las actuales Guatemala, Honduras y California. Se casó con una princesa indígena, Isabel Moctezuma, hija de Moctezuma II, y tuvo varios hijos mestizos. Sin embargo, su poder y riqueza despertaron la envidia y el recelo de sus rivales y de la Corona española, que lo acusaron de abusar de los indígenas, desobedecer las leyes y aspirar a la independencia. En 1528, Cortés tuvo que viajar a España para defenderse ante el rey Carlos I, quien lo recibió con honores y le confirmó sus títulos y privilegios, pero le quitó el gobierno de Nueva España. Cortés regresó a México en 1530, pero ya no tenía el control político ni militar del territorio. Se dedicó a sus negocios privados y a sus expediciones personales, pero sin mucho éxito. En 1540, volvió a España para reclamar sus derechos y recompensas, pero fue ignorado por el rey y marginado por la corte. Muerte y legado Hernán Cortés murió en 1547 en Castilleja de la Cuesta, cerca de Sevilla, a los 62 años. Fue enterrado en un monasterio franciscano, pero sus restos fueron trasladados varias veces hasta llegar a México en 1946, donde reposan en un mausoleo en el Hospital de Jesús. La figura de Hernán Cortés ha sido objeto de múltiples interpretaciones y valoraciones a lo largo de la historia. Para algunos, fue un héroe que abrió las puertas de un nuevo mundo y difundió la cultura occidental. Para otros, fue un villano que destruyó una civilización milenaria y sometió a un pueblo a la explotación y el genocidio. Lo cierto es que Cortés fue un personaje complejo y contradictorio, que protagonizó una de las epopeyas más asombrosas y trágicas de la humanidad.

Im November 1532 nehmen spanische Konquistadoren unter dem Kommando von Francisco Pizarro den letzten König der Inka gefangen: Atahualpa. Dabei gelangen sie an Unmengen Gold und Silber. Spätestens jetzt sind viele Konquistadoren überzeugt, dass die Gerüchte um ein sagenumwobenes Goldland wahr sind.

La interminable guerra del Arauco

Durante siglo y medio los españoles de la Capitanía General de Chile libraron una interminable contienda armada contra una serie de tribus indígenas que vivían al sur del río de los ríos Biobío y Toltén. A aquella guerra, tan prolongada en el tiempo que se extendió por varias generaciones, se le dio el nombre genérico de guerra del Arauco ya que esa región de América se conoce como Araucanía. Fue el aprieto más peliagudo con el que se encontraron los colonos españoles en América tras la conquista, pero nunca se llegó a resolver del todo. Cuando Chile se independizó de España en 1818 la nueva república heredó el territorio de la antigua Capitanía General, pero también todos sus problemas fronterizos, por lo que los combates se mantuvieron en aquella zona hasta finales del siglo XIX, cuando terminó de conformarse el Chile actual. Para entender esta guerra hay que conocer primero las peculiaridades de la geografía chilena, un lugar remoto y apartado del resto del mundo, pero que a los españoles del siglo XVI les pareció extremadamente atractivo, quizá porque era muy parecido a su tierra natal. La conquista española de Chile comenzó poco después de la de Perú, en 1540. Fue entonces cuando llegaron los primeros españoles junto a Pedro de Valdivia, uno de los hombres que habían acompañado a Francisco Pizarro en la conquista del imperio Inca. De Pizarro recibió el encargo de proseguir hacia el sur después de que otro de sus capitanes, Diego de Almagro, fracasase en el empeño. Valdivia fundó la ciudad de Santiago en 1541 y consiguió establecer la presencia española en la región creando una capitanía que dependía del virrey del Perú. Tras ello procedió a ir fundando una serie de ciudades en el sur como Concepción o Valdivia, que recibió el nombre del conquistador. Aquello parecía un desfile militar, pero pronto descubrieron que esas tierras de los confines de América iban a reclamar hombres y recursos durante mucho tiempo, mucho más del que les hubiese gustado a los virreyes del Perú, a quienes todo lo que acontecía en la Araucanía les trajo de cabeza durante más de un siglo. Conforme más descendían de latitud más resistencia se encontraban por parte de los indígenas locales, gentes de tradición guerrera que conocían bien el territorio. Algunos de estos indígenas como los mapuches Lautaro o Caupolicán llegaron a ser muy famosos no sólo en Chile y en Perú, también en la propia España, adonde llegaban (con algo de retraso eso sí) los ecos de la lejana e interminable guerra del Arauco. No fue una guerra fácil ya que no existían los frentes propiamente dichos. Las escaramuzas eran constantes, también lo fueron las emboscadas. Los españoles no se sentían seguros en parte alguna. Los indígenas emplearon tácticas de guerra de guerrillas que se demostraron muy efectivas. Tras décadas de lucha las armas imperiales terminaron por imponerse o, mejor dicho, por establecer una línea más o menos segura y estable que separaba el territorio de la Capitanía del controlado por los indígenas. A esa línea se le dio en llamar la frontera de la Araucanía. Más al sur los españoles no se aventurarían con la excepción de Chiloé, que podía defenderse porque es una isla. Pues bien, para hablar de este tema que marcó a fuego la historia de Chile nos acompaña hoy en La ContraHistoria Carlos Cardoso Carvajal, un joven doctor en Historia de América por la universidad de Sevilla que lo conoce muy a fondo.

Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales

 The arrival of Spanish conquistadors, led by Francisco Pizarro, in the early 16th century marked a significant turning point in Quechua history. Despite initially peaceful interactions, the Spanish quickly exploited political divisions within the Inca Empire and captured the Inca ruler Atahualpa. This event led to the downfall of the empire and the colonization of the region. The Spanish imposed their culture, religion (Christianity), and economic systems on the indigenous populations, resulting in the suppression of traditional practices and exploitation of labor.The Quechua people along with Caribbean's  were enslaved and forced to mine Silver from an amazing mountain. A story was told of a devil called El Tío (The Uncle). It is believed in Cerro Rico, Potosí, Bolivia to be the "Lord of the Underworld". There are many statues of this devil-like spirit in the mines of Cerro Rico. El Tío is believed to rule over the mines, simultaneously offering protection and destruction.

(Día Mundial del Ajedrez) «Después del injustificable sacrificio de Atahualpa, se encaminó don Francisco Pizarro al Cuzco, en 1534, y para propiciarse el afecto de los cuzqueños declaró que no venía a quitar a los caciques sus señorías y propiedades ni a desconocer sus preeminencias, y que castigado ya en Cajamarca con la muerte el usurpador asesino del legítimo Inca Huáscar, se proponía entregar la insignia imperial al Inca Manco [Cápac], mancebo de dieciocho años, legítimo heredero de su hermano Huáscar. La coronación se efectuó con gran solemnidad... [pero luego de] la ruptura de relaciones entre el Inca y los españoles acaudillados por Juan Pizarro y... la muerte de éste por su hermano Hernando... Manco se dio trazas para huir del Cuzco y establecer su gobierno en las altiplanicies de los Andes, adonde fue siempre para los conquistadores imposible vencerlo. »En la contienda entre pizarristas y almagristas, Manco prestó a los últimos algunos servicios, y consumada la ruina y victimación de Almagro el Mozo, doce o quince de los vencidos, entre los que se contaban los capitanes Diego Méndez y Gómez Pérez, hallaron refugio al lado del Inca, que había fijado su corte en Vilcapampa. »Méndez, Pérez y cuatro o cinco más de sus compañeros de infortunio se entretenían [con] el juego de... ajedrez. El Inca... se españolizó fácilmente, cobrando gran afición y aun destreza... sobresaliendo como ajedrecista.... »Una tarde [se hallaban] empeñados en una partida el Inca Manco y Gómez Pérez, teniendo por mirones a Diego Méndez y a tres caciques. Manco hizo una jugada de enroque no consentida por las prácticas del juego, y Gómez Pérez le arguyó: »—Es tarde para ese enroque, señor fullero. No sabemos si el Inca alcanzaría a darse cuenta de la acepción despectiva de la palabreja castellana; pero insistió en defender la que él creía correcta y válida jugada. Gómez Pérez volvió la cara hacia su paisano Diego Méndez y le dijo: »—¡Mire, capitán, con la que me sale este indio pu...erco! »... “El Inca alzó entonces la mano y [le dio] un bofetón al español. Este metió mano a su daga y le dio dos puñaladas, de las que luego murió. Los indios acudieron a la venganza, e hicieron pedazos a dicho matador y a cuantos españoles en aquella provincia... estaban”».1 Esta Tradición peruana titulada «Manco Inca» la relata Ricardo Palma después de la de Atahualpa en su serie sobre «Los Incas ajedrecistas». En realidad, sólo nos queda referirnos de nuevo al mismo pasaje bíblico en que el apóstol Pablo dejó en claro la solución para evitar desenlaces fatales como la muerte de Atahualpa, también a manos de sus adversarios en el ajedrez. En ambos casos es necesario abstenernos de insultos y de palabras indecentes, y dar muerte al enojo y no al adversario en el juego. De ahí que, cuando tengamos una queja contra otro, más vale que seamos tolerantes y lo perdonemos, así como Jesucristo, el Hijo de Dios, nos perdonó a nosotros.2 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Ricardo Palma, «Los Incas ajedrecistas: Manco Inca», Cien tradiciones peruanas (Caracas: Biblioteca Ayacucho, 1977), pp. 427-28 En línea 8 febrero 2023. 2 Col 3:5-13

Last time we spoke about how France ended up in Indochina. Yes while Britain got her hands very messy in China, France had likewise done the same in Southeast Asia. It began with Jesuit priests trying to convert those to Catholicism but they soon found themselves becoming increasingly more involved. The Nguyen empire grew weary of the tiresome catholics and began to crack down on them, leading to conflicts with the French and to a lesser extent the Spanish. Before they knew it a full blown war emerged where the Vietnamese tried desperately to fight off a Franco-Spanish force, but in the end were forced to capitulate to brutal demands. Yet again unequal treaties were placed upon a nation of the far east, but worse than that, the French took colonial possession of what became known as French Indochina. Today we continue that story.   #42 Francis Garnier's Insane Expedition   Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson. But, before we start I want to also remind you this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube. Perhaps you want to learn more about the history of Asia?

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. So we ended off the last episode with the signing of the Treaty of Saigon, yet again another unequal treaty in the east. It was so harsh, the Nguyen Emperor, Tu Duc sent an embassy to France in 1863 trying to revise it. The embassy failed their mission as Napoleon III had no intentions of lightening his grip on the new territorial acquisitions. Those territorial acquisitions to refresh your minds were Bien Hoa, Gia Dinh and Dinh Tuong. Thus by 1864 France had acquired a large part of southern Vietnam and declared it the French colony of Cochinchina. Also in August of 1863 the King of Cambodia Norodom signed a protectorate treaty with France cutting off the Kingdom of Siam and Empire of Nguyen's suzerainty over his country. If you think that is humiliating, just wait to hear this. Tu Duc's envoy to France, Phan Thanh Gian returned to Vietnam and was nominated governor ship of 3 southwestern provinces, Vinh Long, Chau Doc and Ha Tien. His French counterpart the Governor of the news Cochinchina, Pierre-Paul de la Grandiere was worried the 3 provinces to his west might be troublesome so he secretly organized an expedition to occupy them. Perhaps Phan Thanh Gian was told, or perhaps not, but it seems the French convinced Tu Duc to simply hand over the provinces which he did. Phan Thanh Gian told his people not to resistance, awaited orders which never came and killed himself via poisoning. Thus France now controlled all of southern Vietnam. Emperor Tu Duc officially handed the provinces over in the 1874 treaty of Saigon. The treaty officially made the rest of Vietnam a protectorate of France, to which she promised military protection against the Qing dynasty. A large reason why the Vietnamese signed off on this was because of another event that occurred in 1873, known as the Garnier affair. In 1873 the French explorer Jean Dupuis traveled up the Red River to attempt trade with Yunnan province, specifically to sell guns to its governor. While that sounds bad, Dupuis also performed the heinous crime of carrying salt up the river. Yes it turns out this was strictly prohibited by the Nguyen empire. A dispute emerged and Dupuis found himself stuck in a district of Hanoi alongside 90 of his Chinese hired mercenaries. The Vietnamese feared french reprisals, thus instead of using force to get rid of them they issued a complaint to the French admiral Marie Jules Dupre who was acting governor of Cochinchina. Dupre seemed to think he had something to gain from the situation, so he sent an expedition led by Lt Francis Garnir to Hanoi to solve the mater. Garnier took the ships D'estree and Fleurus alongside 83 men. Another 60 men would join them 2 weeks later aboard the Decres. The D'estree arrived at Tonkin on October 23rd , while Garnier and his men traveled to Hanoi using local junks. On November 5th Granier's party arrived and met with Dupuis. Despite being told to tell Dupuis to simply leave, Dupuis managed to convince Garnier he had been greatly mistreated by forces led by Marshal Nguyen Tri Phuong. Garnier then tried to negotiate with the local Nguyen authorities, but they would not budge on anything, so Garnier decided for military action. When the second part of his expeditionary forces arrived on, plus some additional units he requested, a total of 180 men, he decided to use them to capture Hanoi. Garnier wrote a letter and sent it back to Admiral Dupre using the D'estree to justify his actions. Garnier took the 2 gunboats he had left, the Scorpion and Espingole and anchored them roughly 1200 meters away from the walls of Hanoi, in the perfect position to fire upon her citadel, but being out of range of the Vietnamese cannons.  On the morning of October 20th, Lt Garnier took a large portion of his forces towards the south eastern gate of Hanoi. Once they were in position they began to fire upon its thick door. The Vietnamese defenders atop the walls attempted to fire down upon the enemy with their cannons, but they were placed “en barbette” instead of inside embrasures, basically they were aimed to hit ships out in the water and could not properly aim downwards. The cannons failed to hit the french, while the French returned fire using Chassepot rifles. The defenders then tried to use older style riles, and as a french eye witness noted began throwing nails on the floor, which he assumed was to try and stop them from walking closer to the wall. Regardless the nails did not work. Once the gate had been demolished the defenders began to rout and the French quickly seized the south western entrance to the city.  Meanwhile the two gunboats bombarded the northern and western gates and Garnier led another party to use land artillery to hit the south eastern gate. Garnier entered through a breach and this began a general rout for the enemy. Meanwhile Dupuis and 30 of his mercenaries including a former EVA member named Georges Vlavianos held the eastern gate to make sure the enemy did not escape there. During the chaos the French who came across Dupuis force assumed the chinese mercenaries were Vietnamese defenders and began to fire upon them causing some casualties until Dupuis stopped them. In the end Garnier took the city with a force of around 200 men, a city with a population of 80,000. Marshal Tri Phuong was captured alongside 2000 of his soldiers. On November 23rd, Garnier dispatched the Espingole from Hanoi to go obtain the submission of Nguyen officials at the fortified cities of Hung Yen and Phu-ly. The next day the small force aboard the Espingole arrived to Hung Yen and they met with some Nguyen officials. The officials promised the europeans they would capitulate as quote ‘you have managed to capture the great citadel of Hanoi. We will not have the audacity to attempt defending this one against you”. The Governor officially submitted, so the Espingole left Hung Yen and proceeded for Phu Ly. It was only a 3 hours journey. This time the French found the doors closed to them, with a few defenders offering fight. The French force began firing at those they saw and this caused the defenders to flee. The French entered Phu Ly finding some cannons, a few low quality rifles and a lot of rice and local currency. They waited a week holding the city and on December 1st a Vietnamese man named Le Van Ba, whom Garnier had appointed to be in charge of Phu Ly arrived with a small militia force. The French force greeted them, handing over some weapons to help them garrison the city and then proceeded to take the Espingole to Hai Duong. Hai Duong held strong fortifications, outfitted with a large number of cannons, including some more modern european ones and was defended by roughly 2000 men. The French delegation was met by the governor of Hai Duong, Dang Xuan Bang who politely had tea with them. The French demanded he come aboard their ship to officially begin handing over the city. He politely refused to go aboard their ship, so a French officer threatened him stating “we will capture Hai Duong like we captured Hanoi”. The governor politely refused their demands again, notably being charming and polite the entire time. The French went back to the Espingole, carrying some gifts the governor gave them. The last thing they told the governor was if he did not come over to their boat by 3pm, the city would be considered an enemy. 3pm went by without any sight of the governor, so the Espingole began to open fire on the citadel firing 10 shells to devastating effect. The French then ceased their fire hoping the damage to the citadel would entice the governor to surrender. The next day a junk came to the Espingole and aboard was an official, but not the governor himself. The French demanded the governor come himself or they would continue their attack. Well the governor did not show up so at 8:30 at night the Espingole made its way to fire on the nearest fort. The fort returned fire, but its cannons fire right over the Espingole's mast. The French sent 15 marines and 12 sailors aboard two sampans to assault the fort. Once they got within 50 meters of the fort they began firing their rifles which routed the forts defenders. They seized the fort with ease which was 600 meters from the cities citadel. From the fort they began to fire upon the Vietnamese soldiers. Eventually they began a march towards the citadel's main gate, but it had a moat. From atop its walls the Vietnamese were firing cannons, but the French simply waited for the cannons to fire and bolted towards the gate while they were reloading. The French had brought not artillery nor scaling ladders and were forced to run around the citadels walls looking or a weak spot to breach which they did find on its southern end. By 10:15am the French got inside the citadel and hoisted the french flag from its highest tower. They captured a few hundred vietnamese soldiers, but countless got away, including the governor. During this mess, the Espingole party was informed the governor of Ninh Binh and some Hanoi officials who had run away during the battle were organizing forces to oppose the French. The Espingole received 400 reinforcements who had been sent to help garrison their recent earnings. The Espingole commander sent word to Garnier about the Vietnamese building up a force to face them, prompting Garnier to send a force to subdue Ninh Binh. Garnier dispatched Aspirant Hautefeuille with a squad for the task and enroute he found out the Vietnamese were building large dams in the riverways to thwart their movements. Hautefeuilles force tore down the first dam operation they found only to find out another one was being built closer to Ninh Binh. They made their way to Ninh Binh and Hautefeuille got aboard a canoe with some sailors to parley at its citadel. When they landed they were swarmed by local civilians trying to give them gifts of oxen. As soon as the French reached the citadels gate they were swarmed by Vietnamese troops who proded them with spears trying to entice a battle. Hautefeuille noticed not to far away was the provincial governor, one Nguyen Vu, he recognized him because he had four parasols. Hautefeuille raised his pistol and screamed at the governor to submit to Garnier. The governor replied he would submit whole-heartedly. So Hautefeuille went over to him with a paper and pen demanding he write down his submission officially and allow him to escort the governor into the citadel, but to this the governor rejected. Apparently Hautefeuille grabbed the governor by his collar, but his gun to the mans head and threatened to kill him. A tense standoff occurred until the governor gave in and soon the french flag was raised over the citadel. For this achievement Hautefeuille would be appointed governor of the province by Garnier later in early December. Throughout early december Garniers garrisons were attacked by Vietnamese guerilla forces and hire Black Flag mercenaries. I had mentioned them once before, but to explain who exactly they are, they were the remnants of a bandit group that had ventured into northern vietnam from Guangxi province. Basically they were products of the Taiping Rebellion and when the Qing cracked down, they took up their shop and left for Vietnam. Nguyen officials loved to hire them to fight the French as they had experience fighting westerners. Garnier ended up visited some of the garrisons having issues with attacks, offering reinforcements and instructions on how to hold onto their cities. On December 18th, Garnier was back in Hanoi, receiving reports the Black Flags were becoming a real problem for its defenses. Garnier was just about to plan a assault of Son Tay where it was alleged the Black Flag's were operating, when a Nguyen envoy party showed up proclaiming a truce. Garnier began negotiations with the party, when on December 21st suddenly 2000 Vietnamese soldiers led by Hoang Ke Viem and 600 Black Flags approached Hanoi. The Black flags attacked Hanoi's citadel while the Vietnamese forces held back a further km away. The French lookouts saw an elephant amongst their force, which indicated the presence of a high Nguyen official. Garnier distributed his men around the walls while his men used their French cannons upon the Black Flag's, refusing to use the outdated Vietnamese swivel cannons. The French cannons began to cause a panic amongst the vietnamese army which quickly turned into a rout, while the Black Flag forces made an orderly retreat. Garnier was not satisfied with this, knowing full well they would attack again, so he decided to send a decisive blow against the Black Flags. Garnier sent Ensign Balny D'Avricourt with a squad of 12 men to hit the enemies left flank while he took 18 men to hit the village of Thu Le, around 1.2 kms southwest of the citadel where it looked like the Black Flag's were holding up. The two French forces went their separate paths and met up to bombard Thu Le. Garniers force saw the Black Flag force withdrawing and pursued them only to run into a swamp. Their cannon got stuck, but Garnier simply yelled “A la baionnette, en avant!”. Garnier charged through the swamp as his men tried to keep up with him. They were suddenly met with a volley from the Black Flag who had lured them in, killing a few of the French. Garnier unhit, kept charging with his handgun, but tripped and fell. Upon seeing this the Black flag forces rushed forward and stabbed Garnier multiple times with spears and swords while firing at his comrades. The French retreated back to the citadel losing more men, as the Nguyen forces took Garniers head and some others back to Son Tay.  Despite losing their leader, the French held onto the garrisons, sending word of his death and receiving word a new French envoy would be sent. At this point French authorities had found out about the Garnier expedition and were quite embarrassed by the entire thing. Actually they had found out a bit early in late november, prompting Lt Paul-Louis-Felix-Philastre to relieve Garnier and send a scathing letter to him that he never got a chance to read “Have you thought about the shame that will befall upon you when it will be known that, having been sent to expel some ruffian, you allied yourself with him to attack people who hadn't caused you any harm?” Lt Philastre arrived in Haiphong to meet with Nguyen officials to end the unsanctioned campaign. On December 29th, Philastre went to Hai Duong where he ordered the garrisons to be evacuated, where the local french forces tried to persuade him otherwise. Philastre then went to Hanoi to speak to more Nguyen officials about his orders for the French to leave the cities they stole. This led to the 1874 signing of the new treaty of Saigon where the French gave back the stolen cities, thus concluded what was in essence a short undeclared war. So Garnier had been sent to simply tell a guy caught smuggling to leave an area in Vietnam, only to begin a war stealing a bunch of major cities. The French government was deeply embarrassed by the ordeal, disavowing Garnier for his actions, but because of how incredible his accomplishments were, many in France saw him heroic. Yes he was romanticized, much like the conquistador Francisco Pizarro or Hernan Cortez, absolute psychopaths that they were.  So while you think, boy oh boy France sure loves to send people on expeditions that results in them stealing territory…well France was nowhere near done with this recurring activity.  In 1881 the French naval officer Henri Riviere was sent with a small military force to Hanoi to investigate Nguyen complaints involving French merchants. As you can already guess by now, Henri acted in defiance of orders placed upon him. As he would later argue, based on the fact the Nguyen dynasty was not respecting the Treaty of Saigon, still having a tributary relation with China, was paying the Black Flags to attack French in southeast asia and not complying with trade regulations, Henri took a force of 2 gunboats and some forces straight to the citadel of Hanoi and stormed it. When he showed up to Hanoi he told the Nguyen officials he was simply leading his forces to stamp out Black Flag soldiers in the area, but instead immediately set to work stationing his forces within the citadel. The governor, Hoang Dieu was given an ultimatum to have his forces stand down, but instead Hoang Dieu sent a letter of apology to his emperor and killed himself. It was yet again another embarrassment for France who handed Hanoi back over to the Nguyen officials, but Henri was not done yet. In the meantime, Henri's actions pushed the Nguyen Empire to seek aid from the Qing dynasty and Black Flag army. The Qing seeking to help their Vietnamese allies, but not at the cost of incurring the wrath of France again said they would aid them via the Black Flag's. In the summer of 1882 Chinese forces from Yunnan and Guangxi crossed the border into Tonkin, beginning to covertly occupy Hung Hoa, Bac Ninh, Lang Son and other cities. The French and Qing saw the paint on the wall, despite the covert activity leading Li Hongzhang and a French envoy to try and work out a deal where they would divide Tonkin into French and Qing controlled spheres of influence, but the deal never came to be. Thus both sides gradually increased their power in the region and in February of 1883, France sent a 500 man battalion of marines led by Lt Colonel Carreau to Hanoi who would be at the disposal of Henri Riviere. On the other side the Nguyen officials received aid from the warlord and leader of the Black Flag Army, Liu Yongfu. Liu Yongfu came from Guangxi and joined a local militia during the Taiping Rebellion, some claim this militia also fought for the Taiping. When the Taiping Rebellion came to a close, Liu Yongfu's prospects looked dire so he took his forces southwest, until they were finally pushed to cross the border into northern Tonkin. Liu Yongfu then established a camp outside Son Tay where he formed the “Heiqi Jun / black flag army” based on his dream of becoming “general of the black tiger”. Though seen initially as an invader, the Vietnamese officials also were surprised at how proficient the Black Flag army was and reasoned it would be difficult to dislodge them. They reasoned if the Black Flag army could be hired to fight their enemies that served them just fine. When the Black Flag's killed Garnier that certainly earned them praise from the Vietnamese who would increasingly call upon them. Henri Riviere upon receiving the new forces was instructed specifically that they were not to venture past the French occupied parts of Tonkin. So Henri did the opposite of that, because French. He had learnt in early march of 1883, the Nguyen government was planning to lease some coal mines in Hon Gai to the Qing dynasty, but this proved to be a front for the British ironically enough. If the British were to gain this it would spell the end of French colonial expansion in Tonkin, this Riviere could have none of that. Riviere ordered Commandant Berthe de Villers to take 50 marines aboard the Parseval to take Hon Gai, and they did just that meeting zero resistance. As Riviere put it in a letter to the governor of Cochinchina, Charles Thomson “"I have taken possession of the entire mining district. We have always coveted it, but have always hesitated to act. This will force them to take forward their Tonkin Question!"” Now Riviere did not stop there, he received word that Liu Yongfu was preparing to attack Hanoi with an army of 5000 Black Flag troops. Over in Nam Dinh, their citadel had been warned by their governor of the incoming battle, prompting Riviere to act first. In Riviere's words "As this indecisive government has been imprudent enough to send me 500 men. I have decided to use them to do what it did not decide I should do." Riviere elected to strike at Nam Dinh, similar to how Garnier did in 1873. Nam Dinh was defended by around 6000 Nguyen soldiers and 500 Chinese led covertly by the Black Flag officer Vinh Thong Chat. These chinese soldiers wore the Black Flag Army uniforms, but in reality were Qing troops. French reconnaissance indicated around 8000 men defended Nam Dinh, regardless Riviere decided to go forward and attack the city with 520 men. They traveled the red river using 6 gunboats, reaching the Nam Dinh by march 25th. They quickly went to work seizing the naval barracks which were unoccupied. They also cleared fields of huts to set up firing lanes for their gunboats and set up artillery pieces. The next morning the bombardment began as Riviere simultaneously summoned the governor of Nam Dinh, Vu Trong Binh to come to his ship Pluvier to submit the citadel before 8am. Governor Vu Trong Binh was able to reject this before 8am. Nam Binh had 15 feet thick walls, unscalable and pretty much impossible to breach vie cannons, thus Riviere decided to force an entrance into the city by destroying one of its main gates with explosives.  While his gunboats and artillery smashed the Vietnamese cannons along the walls, on March 27th his marines went ashore carrying dynamite blowing a gate up. The French then charged the citadel under heavy fire with Riviere at the front urging them on. The Vietnamese soldiers were overwhelmed by the superior firepower and by the afternoon the city fell as the governor fled. Riviere jubilantly stated “This will force them to take forward their Tonkin Question!'” Now Riviere expected to be punished for his renegade actions, but he lucked out enormous, for back home in France there was a change of government. The new administration led by Jules Ferry strongly supported colonial expansion and backed Riviere up from the offset. The new government followed this up by sending word to Li Hongzhang that Tonkin was going to be under French protection and to back off immediately. The Nguyen officials now were in quite a plight without their Qing defenders and wholeheartedly tossed their lot in with Liu Yongfu and the Black Flags.

Francis Garnier died in a blaze of glory or insanity and now it seemed he had a successor found 10 years later in Henry Riviere. Would southeast Asia be able to thwart off the colonizing efforts of France or fall like domino pieces?

November 16, 1532. Atahualpa, the king of the Inca Empire, marches towards the city of Cajamarca in modern-day Peru, surrounded by 80,000 soldiers. Once he arrives, Atahualpa expects the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro to surrender in the town square. But Pizarro has a plan of his own. With just 168 men, he will unleash a trap that destroys the Inca Empire, and brings thousands of years of indigenous rule to a violent end. What was happening in the Andes before Pizarro arrived that allowed this to take place? And when history is written by the victors, how do we know what's really true? Hosted on Acast.
