Mexico was originally the territory of the Aztec Empire, founded by the Aztecs.

The Aztec civilization, along with the Inca civilization and the Mayan civilization, is known as one of the three major civilizations in Central and South America, and was also one of the three most powerful empires in the Americas before the European invasion.

Before the Spanish landed, most of Mexico was ruled by the Aztec Empire.

Able to build an empire, a civilization, and rule over a large area, the Aztecs were glorious on the American continent, with a population of fifteen million before the Spanish landed.

However, after the Spanish landed, the Aztec Empire collapsed in just a few decades, and the population was reduced to 3 million when the Spaniards completely destroyed the Aztec Empire, a full 12 million people.

Rumor has it that the so-called infectious diseases were actually brought by the Spaniards in order to wipe out the excessive Aztec population.

Soon after, the Spaniards established a colony in Mexico, and all remaining Aztecs were brought under Spanish rule, and over the course of a few decades, the Aztecs roughly recovered to four million.

The current Spanish-Mexican colony consisted of roughly 300,000 Spanish immigrants and roughly 4 million Aztecs, with a total population of 4.3 million.

However, the Aztecs were oppressed by the Spaniards for a long time, and because the fall of the Aztec Empire was also caused by the Spaniards, the Aztecs hated the Spaniards more, and the Spaniards were always on guard against the Aztecs and did not let the Aztecs form an army to assist their rule.

As a result, there were only about 80,000 Spanish colonial troops in Mexico, as well as a large number of Spanish settler estates.

Last time, the Duke of Tribweis, the governor of Spain and Mexico, sent a Spanish colonial army with 35,000 Spanish colonies to participate in the Anglo-Spanish and French alliance to fight the Ming army, but it was defeated by the Ming army, with a loss of about 15,000 soldiers.

Even after four months of recovery, the Spanish colonial army in Mexico is only about 70,000, but if a large number of Spanish immigrants are forced to join the army, the total number of Spanish colonial troops should reach about 90,000.

Like the Marquis d'Oran, the governor of France and Canada, the Spanish governor of Mexico had 20,000 Spanish troops stationed on the border between Mexico and thirteen North American states to guard against the Ming army.

However, although it was a precaution, because for several months, no Ming army in the thirteen states of North America had been found, so the vigilance of the 20,000 Spanish colonial troops was not high, so that Yan Yingyuan and other nearly 30,000 Ming troops all entered the border and killed next to the camp of the 20,000 Spanish colonial troops, and the generals of the 20,000 Spanish colonial troops knew the news of the Ming invasion.

However, it was obviously too late at this time, and the Ming army had already reached the edge of the camp and was launching a fierce attack on the camp.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ----" The Ming army shelled the Spanish army camp.

Although the Ming army attacked Mexico with less than 30,000 soldiers, the Ming army came with 300 cannons, more than the attack on Canada.

The power of the 300 Ming artillery cannons was enormous, one after another Spanish tents were blown up, the wooden watchtowers were blown down, a large number of Spanish soldiers were killed and wounded, and the entire Spanish army camp was in chaos.

"Kill, ----" The Ming infantry launched an attack on the Spanish army camp.

"Da ----" machine gun strafing, some Spanish soldiers armed with flintlock pistols formed a three-stage attack formation at the edge of the camp to block the Ming attack, were swept and killed, and fell in rows.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! The rifles of the Ming soldiers also fired intensively at the Spanish soldiers in the large camp.

Spain is a declining empire, even because of its large population, the number of troops is often higher than that of other European countries such as Britain, France and the Netherlands, but the combat effectiveness of the Spanish army is much lower than that of other European countries such as Britain, France and the Netherlands.

The same army of 20,000 people, the French army even resisted for a while under the attack of the Ming army before it was defeated, but the will of the Spanish army was directly destroyed by the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army's 300 cannons, and the Ming infantry had just launched an attack on the camp, and the Spanish soldiers began to escape from the camp and flee outward.

Moreover, it soon turned into a rout of the entire battalion.

"Run!" The Ming infantry had just attacked the gate of the camp and killed more than 100 Spanish soldiers, and the Spanish army in the entire camp abandoned the camp and was defeated outside the camp.

The Ming army attacked the Spanish camp very quickly and easily.

"Give the order to never let a Spanish soldier escape!" Yan Yingyuan calmly ordered.

The Spanish soldiers were defeated out of the camp, and it was the turn of 18,000 Ming cavalry to attack and pursue the defeated Spanish soldiers.

"Boom Boom----- Ming cavalry galloped and caught up with the defeated Spanish soldiers almost instantly.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! The rifles of the Ming cavalry continued to shoot the Spanish soldiers who were fleeing.

In the face of the pursuit of the Ming cavalry, the Spanish soldiers who fled could not escape at all, after all, their two legs could not outrun the four legs of the Ming cavalry horses.

The Spanish soldiers who abandoned the camp and fled were themselves defeated, and found that they could not escape, when a large number of Spanish soldiers began to surrender to the pursuing Ming cavalry.

The pursuit lasted for most of the hour, except for a few Spanish soldiers who fled into the woods and disappeared, as many as 16,000 Spanish soldiers were captured by the Ming army, and the Ming army easily achieved the effect of the first victory.

In the face of so many captured Spanish soldiers, Yan Yingyuan not only ordered the 800 Ming soldiers to escort them back to the thirteen states of North America for custody, but also led the other 28,000 Ming soldiers to continue deep into Mexico.

Because the Ming army attacked quickly and had cavalry, it wiped out the 20,000 Spanish troops on the entire border, so even if the Ming army penetrated more than 100 miles into Mexico, the Spaniards did not know the news of the Ming invasion.

After penetrating deep into the territory of Mexico, Yan Yingyuan did not divide his troops to extensively occupy those Mexican territories, but went straight to Mexico City, the heart of the Spanish Mexican colony!

After all, the number of Ming troops is limited, and Mexico has a vast territory, and it is difficult to completely occupy it with the current 28,000 soldiers, Yan Yingyuan's goal is very simple and clear, to capture Mexico City first and defeat the main force of the Spanish colonial army.

The 28,000 Ming army, without dividing its troops, is undoubtedly an invincible force.

From the Mexican border to Mexico City, south-central Mexico, the distance is about 2,000 miles.

Along the way, the Ming army broke through all the manors and castles that were blocked, but they did not occupy them, even if they defeated the other Spanish colonial troops on the road, they did not bother to hunt down and capture them, but the entire Ming army under the command of Yan Yingyuan was unstoppable and went straight to the heart of Mexico City.
