"Enter Mexico City and capture Leopold alive!"
"Heaven has been destroyed, and the underworld has prospered!"
"Kill the Western thief and enter the underworld..."
People's cheers suddenly rang out, pulling King Montezuma out of his thoughts. He calmed down, looked around, and found that he was standing on a high place, overlooking a square below. The square was crowded with people, all of whom were Indians wearing cross-collar commoners and "Shang-style" buns. They all faced a richly decorated Catholic church, watching the cross on the top of the church being removed, a flagpole installed, and a black and white flag symbolizing the underworld - black and white symbolizing the underworld. Fair and just!
Black is black and white is white. No one can turn black into white, let alone turn white into black!
According to the teachings of the Most Holy Religion, human beings are inherently good in nature, and their souls are of course pure and innocent. There is no original sin, and there is no need to “wash away” sin. There is no way to "wash away" sin, it can only offset the merits and demerits. People's evil deeds can be offset by doing good, but they cannot be written off just because they believe in a certain god. This kind of theory, which is right or wrong and only depends on the position, is completely fraudulent in the eyes of the Holy One. The meaning of the existence of the Holy Holy Religion is not to deceive and deceive, but to educate the world.
Let people in the world be able to distinguish right from wrong, be able to avoid punishment from the underworld by doing good deeds and accumulate virtue, and at the same time strive for a "good pregnancy" for their next life - what they can strive for is only a "good pregnancy", not the ending. Because "good pregnancy" is determined by the underworld through the good and evil in the past life, and the outcome of the next life is not destined!
In addition, according to the Most Holy Teachings, there is no racial discrimination or class oppression in the underworld. It is a place where ghosts and ghosts are equal, only superior and inferior (ghost positions are superior and inferior), but no high or low.
Regardless of the ghost’s skin color, wealth, or status during his lifetime, when he arrives in the underworld, he will only care about his good and evil deeds during his lifetime!
And the standard of good and evil in this underworld is not the unprincipled "don't kill, don't chop people", but kill when you need to kill, chop when you should chop... The white colonization led by Leopold If you cut it off, you are accumulating virtue and doing good deeds!
During this period, the progress of King Mengchuang's army was slow. First, it was because of the lack of ability to attack difficult targets; second, it was because it was fighting and establishing base areas while promoting propaganda.
When the Mengchuang army just came out of Guimen Pass, they carried a lot of "sugar medicine", so they were able to blast the Spanish city walls. At this stage, they had captured many cities. But after all, they are "fighting without rear areas" and their logistics supply is very unstable. And Eugen von Savoy, who was responsible for "pursuing" Meng Chuang, was worthy of being a famous marshal in history. He discovered Meng Chuang's weakness at the first opportunity. Therefore, measures such as tailing, cutting off back roads, blocking seaports, and strictly guarding cities were adopted.
The "trailing" means that Eugen von Savoy personally led an army to follow behind the Mengchuang army, but it did not fight a decisive battle with the Mengchuang army. It just followed Mengchuang and continuously regained the cities abandoned by Mengchuang. If Mengchuang's army turns around and comes for a decisive battle, Eugen's army will retreat to avoid the battle. Although this kind of brown sugar-style play is not enough to defeat Mengchuang, it can prevent Mengchuang from easily occupying too much territory at a low cost.
The purpose of cutting off the back road is to cut off the land connection between Mengchuang and Guimen Pass as much as possible to prevent Mengchuang from obtaining supplies from Guimen Pass - food, livestock, and even guns and gunpowder, which Mengchuang can obtain by seizing or collecting from occupied areas. , but Meng Chuang cannot collect more complex weapons and ammunition such as sugar pills, rockets, sparklers, and cable grenades from Mexico.
Once Mengchuang loses these advanced equipment, their only advantage will be strength in numbers. And their ability to attack difficulties will gradually be lost, and their ability to fight in the field will gradually decline.
The purpose of blocking the seaport was also to cut off the channels for the Mengchuang to obtain advanced equipment. Therefore, after Eugen von Savoy determined that the Mongolian and Chuang armies were going deep into Mexico, he immediately divided his forces to control various ports on the Pacific coast of Mexico, and then deployed tight defenses. , to avoid getting into the supply port.
Strictly guarding the city is to increase the cost of breaking into the city.
Although Mengchuang's "rural siege castle" can help them occupy a large amount of territory, it is difficult for them to obtain a large amount of materials, especially weapons and equipment, from these rural territories... Therefore, it is impossible for Mengchuang's army to Even though I have been wandering around the countryside, I still have to conquer some cities.
Therefore, strictly guarding the city can slow down Mengchuang's march towards Mexico City, and also consume Mengchuang's vitality.
And this series of measures finally worked during the siege of Guadalajara!
The city was the third largest city in the colony of New Spain, after Mexico City and Havana. The city is home to a large number of whites, mixed-race whites and Catholic Indians.
Moreover, King Mengchuang's army did not fly outside Guadalajara all at once, so the defenders and residents of the city also had time to strengthen the city's defenses, raise food and grass, and train and equip the militia.
So when the Mengchuang army arrived outside Guadalajara, the city had turned into an impregnable fortified city!
Meng Chuang and Huang Feiyu commanded the army to fight several times, but found that they could not hold back. At the same time, they also found that their troops continued to fight, and supplies were consumed greatly. The number of personnel expanded rapidly, and the army became very bloated and lost its initial strength. Edge of the March on Mexico City.
However, the Mengchuang army still has advantages in the wild, and they have accumulated a huge reputation on the way to Mexico City, enough to allow them to run rampant around Guadalajara.
Therefore, Montezuma and Huang Feiyu changed their strategy of rushing towards Mexico City, and instead established base areas from around Guadalajara to Leon.
So the Mongolian army divided into two groups. One group was led by Montezuma himself, using the camp on the north shore of Lake Chapala as its stronghold. While besieging the city of Guadalajara, it was also sweeping Lake Chapala and Guadalajara. The countryside surrounding the city of La Jala to establish an Aztec stronghold.
The other group, led by Huang Feiyu, slowly approached Leon step by step, establishing base areas as they advanced. When they encountered a city with strong fortifications by the Spanish, they would first besiege it, then clear the surrounding area, and wait for these cities to run out of food. surrender.
Although this set of dispatches is a bit slow, slowness has its advantages... Slower speed can expand the base area, allowing more oppressed Indians to be liberated and join the rebel team.
From the perspective of national liberation and the establishment of a new Aztec state, this "slow pace" is actually more valuable than "quick victory".
Because "quick victory" will make those oppressed Indian serfs and slaves lose their use value... Without value, it is naturally impossible to truly achieve liberation!
King Mengchuang and his followers are likely to quickly corrupt and become new feudal rulers who ride on the Indians' heads and dominate them.
And "fighting slowly" can allow more Indians to participate in the "liberation" process.
Those Indians who had been oppressed could now personally participate in the struggle to overthrow the colonists who enslaved them.
In order to mobilize them to participate in the rebellion, King Mengchuang and his team had to seriously divide the land and promote the Holy Religion - the current situation is that the rebellion has not yet succeeded, and the Aztecs still need to work hard! And they also offended the white colonists to death...not only betrayed the emperor, but also betrayed God, and it is impossible to be forgiven!
If they cannot win, the only consequence will be destruction!
In this situation where victory can be expected, but no one can bear the consequences of failure, a situation of "going against one's wishes" can easily arise. In less than a year, a large area of land around the city of Guadalajara has been transformed into land under "black and white flags flying"! Along the way from Lake Chapala to Leon, the movement of "Dividing fields and believing in the Holy Spirit" was also in full swing. As of the summer of 1695 AD, there were at least 200,000 households living around Lake Chapala. They shared land with the Indians from Lake Chapala to Leon and converted to the Holy Spirit!
An "Aztec base" spanning hundreds of miles has suddenly appeared on the vast land between Guadalajara and Mexico City!
The number of the Aztec Kingdom's army also exceeded 250,000 due to the large number of new recruits!
Additionally, the firepower of the Aztec army was increased. While developing their base, they also established an artillery factory and a saltpeter field in the camp on the north shore of Lake Chapala. A large number of 12-pound bronze cannons were cast using bronze bells seized from churches in various places, and a large amount of gunpowder was prepared from the fire salt produced in the saltpeter field.
With 12-pound bronze cannon and sufficient gunpowder, the Aztecs now finally had a certain ability to attack fortresses. Large cities like Guadalajara cannot be conquered for the time being, but the small cities around Guadalajara and the castles along the road from Lake Chapala to Leon have been defeated one by one by the Aztecs. Captured by people.
The place where King Mengchuang is now is on the city wall of a small city called San Miguel... This city resisted the Aztec army for several months, and now it was finally defeated by the Aztec army. Hundreds of 12-pound cannons were concentrated and destroyed!
And after seizing this San Miguel, León, the sixth largest city in New Spain, founded in 1576 and located in the fertile plain of the Turvio River, is already in sight!
Thinking of this, King Montezuma turned his head and asked Huang Feiyu beside him: "Strategy advisor, should we prepare for the decisive battle in Leon next?"
Leon is a place that Leopold must defend but must fight!
Not to mention losing Leon, even if Leon is besieged, Leopold will lose the silver from the Zacatecas Silver Mine! And once this silver mine falls into the hands of the Aztecs... the consequences will be disastrous!
Huang Feiyu shook his feather fan, pretended to count, and then nodded and said: "Your Majesty, everything is according to our plan now! There will be a decisive battle in Leon...and Leopold will definitely do it. Concentrate all your forces to fight me in Leon. Your Majesty will take the opportunity to lead tens of thousands of elite troops and take the southern route into Mexico City! If Leopold recalls the main force in Leon, then we can capture Leon and cut off Mexico City Contact with the Zacatecas silver mines. If Leopold does not recall the army, Mexico City will be besieged!"
King Montezuma smiled and said: "That Leopold is very cowardly. If he doesn't recall his army, he will definitely leave Mexico City and go elsewhere...Mexico City will be within easy reach by then!"
Huang Feiyu bowed his hands to King Montezuma and said: "Then first, congratulations to the king for defeating the old capital and restoring the Aztec homeland!"
"Wahahaha..." King Montezuma, who felt extremely happy in his heart, looked up to the sky and laughed.
...
"Crash..."
Queen Therese had just walked outside the door of Leopold I's study when she heard the sound of porcelain and glassware being smashed inside.
She quickly stopped and glanced at a handsome attendant beside her. The attendant shook his head and said nothing, so the two of them stood outside the door and listened.
Leopold's roar came from inside: "Oh God, open your eyes and see... What kind of pope is this? What kind of Frankish emperor is this? I am fighting the devil's followers in Mexico." , Louis actually wants to marry his illegitimate daughter to the son of the devil! This is betrayal!"
It turned out that Cardinal de la Magarra of Mexico City sent an urgent secret letter to the emperor, reporting on the progress of the Versailles Conference... This meeting with different agendas was held so smoothly. Calling someone discouraging!
A group of emperors, queens, czars, kings, consuls, popes, and bishops who claimed to believe in God discussed for several months, but they did not make a decision to send a large number of troops to the New World, nor did they make a decision to declare war on the Ming Dynasty. Although the decision Imposing trade sanctions on Ming Dynasty...but what's the use? Can trade sanctions defeat the devil? Are you kidding me? That's the devil! Not a Dutch profiteer.
Moreover, while Louis was sanctioning the Ming Dynasty, he also married his most beautiful illegitimate daughter to the son of the Ming Emperor!
Is this a sign of good sanctions? This looks like betraying Spain!
And the most abominable thing is that Louis' illegitimate daughter wants to marry the son of the devil Zhu Da, but she has to use the name of Leopold's daughter - this means that Leopold is going to make a deal with the devil, and Louis takes it himself. All the benefits!
Is co-author Leopold an unlucky guy who will go to hell? Can God allow such a thing? Can Louis and Urban IX not go to hell?
After eavesdropping outside the door for a while, Queen Therese of Spain finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked into Leopold's study with a military report she had just received. After curtsying, Therese He said to the Spanish Emperor: "My Majesty, the Duke of Lorraine has just sent an urgent military report... The Aztec rebels have captured San Miguel and are currently heading towards Leon is marching, and its leading troops have entered the plains on both sides of the Turvio River. The decisive battle is about to begin! The Duke of Lorraine hopes that we can send more reinforcements..."
