Chapter 94 Supporting Roles

The Ming army did occupy Mexico City, and such a record did not fall into the pocket of any well-known general.

On the contrary, it was precisely a group of unknown people who captured the capital of New Spain, with 300 guerrilla flag troops from Pingyuan County, the junction of Guangdong, Fujian and Huguang provinces.

Their leader was Zeng Xishun, who held many positions and had many honorary titles, such as Yong Qiancheng, the captain of the township of Pingyuan County, Zhongwu, deputy general manager of Xiaolin Camp in Guangdong, etc., and are also supporting roles in the hottest coastal version of "The Legend of the South China Sea" in recent years.

In the book, Lin Xiao, Zeng Xishun, Han Jinhuan, Chen Yuhan and Lin Dayuan fought bravely under the command of Lin Lai's general Lin Manjue, and defeated the enemy. It was extremely powerful.

In fact, when Zeng Xishun really boarded Linlai Island, the war was almost over. Before landing on the island, he was sent by Lin Manjue to leave the fleet and return to rescue soldiers, and did not kill any enemy in that battle.

After that, as Lin Manjue's subordinate, Chen Muhuan's family gradually promoted the story of the South China Sea in the market by promoting the script. He also received a lot of extraordinary praise, and he often felt that he was not worthy of his position.

It is precisely because of this that when Lin Manjue proposed to visit Mexico City separately, Zeng Xishun accepted the task readily and led his troops to the legendary Mexico City.

There is a large lake surrounded by mountains in the Mexican valley. It is endless. There are magnificent cities in the lake. There are cubes of farmland hanging on the lake. Corn, amaranth and flowers are planted in the fields. The city in the lake communicates with the land by boats and bridges.

As the capital of the past, the city in this big lake once had a population of 200,000.

Aztec once had an extraordinary civilization and was not weak. This behemoth died in the states and had their own ulterior motives.

The city has no walls, and its past owner, the Aztec Emperor, believed that there was no need for a wall, and that the lake and his warriors were the best walls.

Unfortunately, the last time the lake and the Aztec warriors failed to stop the Spaniards.

This time, I couldn't stop the Ming Dynasty people.

Not everyone indigenous people were willing to participate in the "Spanish fight". They always believed that the war between the New Spain's elder governor and the new governor was not something they could interfere with, but when the Ming army entered the vicinity of Mexico City, the situation became very different.

The Aboriginal Hunter on the west bank of the Great Lake discovered the Ming army and gathered manpower. The Aboriginal Army, which was several times more powerful than theirs, surrounded Zeng Xishun's troops in the jungle on the riverside, but the battle did not start - Lin Manjue's troops had Jaguar warriors.

Through the simple words "overthrowing and liberating", the two sides reached a consensus that the indigenous people called Kai Suspension Bridge, summoned more people, and easily allowed the Ming army to enter the city and seize various key passes.

There were many Spanish people in the city, but not many could fight. Bernal almost summoned all the Spanish who could pick up weapons to go to the battlefield with him.

Zeng Xishun's Ming army's guerrilla flag army advanced into Mexico City like a signal. I don't know which street Zeng Xishun led his army to capture, but the first indigenous slave broke free from the shackles and strangled his master who was about to escape with iron chains. Everything in front of the guerrilla flag army became chaotic.

The sudden attack made the Spaniards in the city unable to form an effective organization. Chaos occurred in every street and alley. People fought and fought each other without even distinguishing their skin color and race. If they had revenge and had grudges, they would be safe.

Even Zeng Xishun could not control all this until the bell of the cathedral in the Armed Square rang, and the Spanish finally organized effective defense and assigned various teams to go deep into the streets to rescue the Spanish trapped everywhere.

Those crazy indigenous people did not care about the Ming army. They had their own targets of action. Some took this opportunity to revenge and revenge, making a fortune in the robbery. These people did not dare to attack the Ming army, and the Ming army ignored them. When they met on a narrow road, they hid from the places where the Ming army had not yet been to, and took the next revenge.

But where the Indians gathered, they had their own leaders and even had extremely clear claims.

In the prestigious Spanish royal silk factory in Mexico City, more than 4,000 indigenous weavers killed the Spanish manager, took off Chinese silk shirts and made a flag, and marched towards the cathedral in the name of the last emperor Guatemus. They wanted to avenge every Spanish.

But more people are not as brave as them. Although they are all bullied, most of the indigenous people will close their doors and wait and see, and pray to the Snake God and Jesus that this chaos will not affect their lives.

There is no clear claim, even if the number is huge, it is just a mob. At this point, even if the Spaniards are much less than them, they still have a huge advantage.

In the armed square outside the cathedral, the left-behind Spanish sergeant gathered troops to form a phalanx. The new organizational form of infantry corps, which replaced feudal horses on the old continent, had almost perfect resistance to pressure when facing this situation. Any Spanish man just picked up his spear and picked up a musket, would be a good phalanx soldier.

In addition, some mixed-blood soldiers who were confused and didn't know what to do in the chaos naturally surrendered. Without external forces, even the stronger rebel team would not be able to achieve the final victory.

But the sergeant commander who had raised the flag and issued orders before was killed when Zeng Xishun led his troops to approach the cathedral, fired the gun from two hundred steps away to shoot into a sieve. Then the phalanx leader who replaced the flag, the chief priest and the company commander.

Everyone who wanted to raise the New Spanish flag would be killed by muskets when raising the flag. When the last monk wearing a breastplate died under the banner, the square formation composed of ordinary citizens was also shaking. It took less than five minutes from the first soldier who threw his spear and fled, and the entire square formation fell apart.

The Spaniards who fled from Mexico City to the east coast were hunted by the indigenous people, fighting for canoes and sailing warships on the lake. I don’t know how many people were drowned. In the end, only hundreds of people successfully escaped from the giant city in the middle of the lake. However, the chaos in this magnificent city did not return to peace due to the Spanish's departure.

The indigenous people who drove away the colonists stared at the Ming army and their own people who were still in the city. After only one tired night, they began to set fire in the cathedral where the Ming army was resting, robbed the food matters, and tried to steal the Ming army's firearms.

Compared with the indigenous people, Zeng Xishun had too few subordinates, which was not enough to suppress this city with red eyes without any sensibility. Although the indigenous people did not form a high-intensity battle against them, this situation clearly revealed a dangerous signal to Zeng Xishun.

If they continue to stay here, they will not be able to walk out of the city alive.

The actions of these people made Zeng Xishun feel their thoughts very clearly, just like driving away the Spaniards in the city and then driving away the Ming people in the city, and the city will always belong to them.

Zeng Xishun with great defense left the city on the third night after capturing Mexico City. On the second day after he left, a Spanish defender from the east coast came to Mexico City.

Meanwhile, the Duke of Alva of the Old Continent led his powerful fleet to the East Coast.
