Hidalgo had a group of his own followers, among whom were artisans, merchants, scholars, and even nobles.

But the soldiers were mainly Indians, because Mexico was populated enough and the land was not large enough, so there was no huge slave economy developed here, the early Spaniards solved the labor problem by forcing the Indians to labor, and later with the development of religion, most of the Indians converted to Catholicism, and they volunteered to provide labor for the church.

The Indians were so numerous that Spain had not even had time to break their social fabric, and a large number of Indians lived in their villages, governed by their elders.

They were still led by their elders or the sons of their elders to Hidalgo, and their weapons were still the traditional weapons of the Indians, bows and spears for hunting.

With such weapons and equipment, they had no way to deal with Mexico City, which was surrounded by high walls, and a few Spanish soldiers could repel their attack. Hidalgo wanted to send someone to contact the Chinese in Acapulco, but it never worked, the road was too chaotic, and the few people on the road always never returned.

Just when he was at a loss, the Chinese called, and he immediately sent someone to contact, fortunately there was a translator among the Chinese, a broken Filipino Spanish translator, with a strong accent, but barely able to communicate.

The Chinese general promised to form an alliance with them and attack Mexico City together, and the battle soon began.

Zhao Wen ordered the artillery to bombard the city wall continuously.

Spain built this place very strongly, because in the early days it was established as the capital of Spain in the whole of America, and the colony was called New Spain, so it would not be open for a while.

Therefore, Zhao Wen must be prepared for long-term operations, and if he wants to fight for a long time, he must ensure the supply of materials.

Zhao Wen himself left too many people to surround the communication line, but the manpower for transportation was not enough. He discovered this problem halfway through, and had already sent a letter to Zhao Wen to solve this problem, and Zhao Wen's solution was to ask Zhu Lian to transfer more manpower.

Zhu Lian reluctantly contacted Chen Zhouquan again, and sent Chen Zhouquan's men from the Columbia University River valley to the port of Acapulco one by one, totaling more than 30,000 people, which is the majority of Chen Zhouquan's current manpower, and obtained permission to participate in the robbery of Mexico City.

These men traveled a thousand miles of communication lines, constantly transporting food, gunpowder and shells. Zhao Wen soon didn't have to worry about supplies, and at this time he had been bombarding Mexico City for more than ten days, many city walls were cracked, and the Spanish batteries had been destroyed, and the fall of this city was not far away. Historically, during the Spanish-American War, the Americans captured the city for the first time, and the first American attack on Mexico City was repulsed, and five days later the American army occupied the high ground outside the city and bombarded the city walls. Two days later, U.S. forces entered Mexico City. The Americans used it for a week before and after, but Zhao Wen had already used it for two weeks, and it was obvious that his cannon was not as good as the American cannon decades later.

With a bang, the city wall finally collapsed, Zhao Wen ordered the infantry to move forward, the Spaniards did not go out of the city to fight from beginning to end, obviously the hundreds of thousands of people outside the city frightened them, now the city wall collapsed, their hearts also collapsed, in the face of the strong attack, after less than an hour of fighting, they gave up holding on.

As soon as Zhao Wen sent his army into the city, countless Indians and Chen Zhouquan's Tiandihui people rushed in behind him.

Heaven and Earth Society and Indians can become allies, and for a moment Zhao Wen felt very unreal, just like he, a Hakka, would come to Mexico to fight.

As these people entered the city, Zhao Wen, who was originally preparing for street fighting, immediately gave up, immediately gathered his army, and stood by in place, and then saw the chaos in the city, he fortunately withdrew the soldiers outside the city, and he was worried that there would be a scuffle inside.

Sure enough, the melee in Mexico City began, not with the Spanish soldiers, but between the Tiandihui and the Indians, between the Indians and the Mestizos, and even between the Indians and the Indians.

Everyone kills each other, indiscriminately, just because of the injustices of looting.

Chen Zhouquan's team withdrew from Mexico City in the afternoon, and they grabbed a large number of silver coins, which produced more than 10 million silver dollars in Mexico every year, and Mexico City was the minting center, where too much silver was stored. Chen Zhouquan only hated that they had few pockets, and they returned full of them, and they were still unsatisfied.

But it's not so easy to get into the city, hundreds of thousands of Indians have broken into Mexico City, these Indians are resisting at the call of Hidalgo, but the resistance is cohesive and driven by hatred, and now that the door of their enemy's house is open, and they break in, what will they do?

Looting was still tolerated, but hatred needed blood to unleash, and so the massacres like Uncle Haiti's Black began, where a large number of Spaniards were dragged out of the house and hacked to death, and their bodies were thrown on the street, and their little daughter lay on her father's corpse crying, but then she herself was dragged away by a group of homeless people, old people and children.

Within a day, the Spaniards were almost all killed, and no one cared whether they were former soldiers, scholars, or officials. No one cares if they sympathize with the Indians or discriminate against the Indians.

These were not what Father Hidalgo wanted to see, a white man of the upper class, well educated, who had studied theology and philosophy at the University of Mexico, and who admired the ideas of the French Enlightenment. As a priest, he participated in the Literary and Social Society of the secret society that pursued Mexican independence, and the purpose was definitely not for his personal glory.

Of course, he and his black uncle De Salin are not all the way, but they are also not all the way with the white elite Miranda, De Salin pursues the desire for materialism, Miranda pursues spiritual wealth, one is a black slave who wants to be a slave owner, and the other is a native white man who wants to be recognized by the powerful, but Hidalgo really just wants to liberate the vast majority of oppressed Indians!

He could actually plead his case to the Spaniards, he could write letters to the governor, he could write letters to the king, and he could achieve these goals through the upper echelons, but the spirit of the French Revolution had deceived too many people, and it seemed that violence was the only way to liberation, so Hidalgo, who was already in his prime, and had almost lost his desire for materialism, chose to give the Indians a knife and let them fight for power.

Hidalgo only wanted to establish a new regime, abolish Indian taxes, abolish slavery, and return the lands illegally seized by the colonists to the Indian communes, not to massacre the colonists, whether as a white man, or as a well-educated man, or as a priest, and he could not have wanted to see the Holocaust happen.

But now that everything has happened, Hidalgo is powerless to stop it, seeing the simple smiles of the Indians who are full of excitement and blood, it is so heartfelt, so happy, Hidalgo feels that he has released a devil, ironically, this devil is a servant of this god who opened the shackles with his own hands and released it!
