Chapter 255: Dare to be the first in the Americas

"300 years ago, the hateful Spaniards took the land of our ancestors, are you willing to take it back with all your might?"

The crowd shouted in unison: "Long live independence!" ”

"Hang the colonial bandits!"

The surging crowd flocked to Dolores' administrative residence, the minions of the Spanish colonial authorities, and at this time there was no determination to resist at all, and the crowd led by Hidalgo quickly occupied all the government departments of Dolores, and publicly announced the abolition of Indian slavery and the exemption of all Indian natives from the high tribute tax that had been specially increased!

At the same time, it was promised that after the success of the revolution, the land would be distributed to all the peoples of the Americas!

As soon as Hidalgo's words fell, the cries of 'Long live America, down with the bad government' resounded throughout Dolores!

Subsequently, Hidalgo used all the time to distribute the weapons and equipment that he created, Hidalgo did not have a real arsenal, and most of the weapons he built were broadswords and spears, plus a small number of earthen artillery and earth guns, compared to the armament of the Spanish authorities, the gap was not half a star!

But when the Dolores uprising broke out, the Tucson fortress was gathering most of the regular army of the Viceroyalty of New Spain to fight against Zhao Dutian's army, except for a few large cities such as Mexico City, there were only improvised militia forces in other areas!

In the uprisings of the people at the bottom of the past generations, it was not the government that suffered first, but the local big households and landlord class!

Although Hidalgo himself was a large manor owner, he was a benevolent and popular landowner, and a good man loved by the lower classes!

People like Hidalgo were rare in the hierarchical South American colonies, and those rich and small nobles were not willing to use their property to give alms to the local mud legs, not to mention that the status of Indians was no different from slaves!

The crowd led by Hidalgo used rudimentary cold weapons and a small number of earthen guns to fight all the way to the rich landlord's estate, and escorted those old men who were full of brains and fat stomachs to the masses to try the well-known crimes, and then sent them to hell en masse!

The subordinates and serfs of the manor joined the rebel army with joy and were given the property of their former masters on the spot!

Of course, the rebels who participated in the attack could also get their own share of the land!

Hidalgo, who really had sympathy for the lower classes of the people in his heart, did not embezzle any private property, generously distributed all the booty, and the soldiers and slaves who followed him in the rebellion received real land wealth, and the morale of the rebel army was unprecedentedly high!

As Hidalgo's name and the story of the successful uprising spread far and wide, a large number of landlords and nobles fled in panic to Mexico City, the only nearby garrison, and the Spanish colonial regime's rule in the central countryside of Mexico fell apart before the rebels arrived!

Inspired by the low-level Indian and white mestizos, they spontaneously raised the banner of rebellion, echoing Hidalgo's rebel army, and spontaneously honored him as the leader of righteousness!

As Hidalgo attacked everywhere, he tried his best to collect any weapons to arm his rebel army, and it was not the number of people that restricted the strength of the rebel army, but the number of weapons!

When the long-term oppression broke out, there were people everywhere who longed for land and freedom, and the spark in this land has shown a trend of burning the prairies!

Hidalgo is also an intellectual with a brain, and he easily expanded the rebel army by more than 10,000 men, and by the way, he quickly gathered under Mexico City with nearly 100,000 supporters who had no real weapons!

Wherever they passed, there was not a single real battle, and even if some colonial officials tried to block the rebels with militia, there would often be a large-scale defection or passive avoidance of the battle when engaged, and compared to the colonial militia with low morale, the morale of the rebels who defended their land and freedom was undoubtedly an inexplicable buff, so Hidalgo gained a reputation for winning many battles!

Hidalgo's uprising broke out so quickly that it didn't wait for Flores. When Governor Fruella received the ending of the Tucson Fortress, he came to Mexico City!

It was also the first time he realized how weak the foundations of Spanish rule over the colonies were!

This is just the uprising, the news has not reached the Mexican region, once the chain reaction is triggered, even if there is no threat from the Han Empire, it is enough to deal a heavy blow to the colonial rule of the Kingdom of Spain in South America!

The speed at which control of the city and countryside was lost in a matter of days made Flores. Governor Fruella is terrified from the bottom of his heart!

Of course, after the news of Hidalgo's triumphant march reached Mexico City, there was also a popular riot in the city!

Flores. Governor Fruela did not hesitate to agree to the terms of cooperation of the Clouey family, and reached a cooperation with the gangsters controlled by the secret service!

You know, the news of the surrender of the Tucson fortress at this time has not yet come, and the army of the Han Empire is still thousands of miles away from Mexico City!

Flores. Governor Fruela knew very well that once this kind of low-level rebel army broke through Mexico City, he would definitely be the first to die tragically!

Even if he, the governor, wants to escape from here, it will be difficult to survive, the power of the people is too strong, and outside Mexico City has been ruled by the cries of freedom and independence. Governor Fruela doubted that he could actually go to the Spanish-controlled territory alone......

Loyal to Flores. Governor Fruera's Spanish Guard, with the intelligence support of the Secret Service, quickly suppressed the riot in the city!

The mobs, who at best have cold weapons and a handful of inferior muskets, are good for nothing but numerical superiority!

Even those who rioted improvised, they couldn't even look for cover!

In Flores. Under the orders of Governor Fruera, the few cannons in Mexico City were pulled into the streets, loaded with grape eggs, and blasted out balls of iron against the surging crowd!

There was no clear leader and program of action for the rioting crowd in Flores. Governor Fruella was resolutely suppressed, and was quickly dispersed and fled back to their respective residences!

Subsequently, the Spanish Guards of the brigade, armed with flintlock pistols and led by one or more 'civilians' in short sweatshirts, kicked open one wooden door after another in the residential area, and after kicking the door, these guards who killed an unknown number of people, without giving a chance to explain, pulled the trigger directly at the person who tried to explain!

This is especially true in the slums of Mexico City, where the Governor's Guard, which is numbering in the hundreds, has taken out the entire slum population involved in the riots one by one and shot them to death on the spot!

When the next day came, the rioting Mexico City was cleared! (To be continued.) Pen % Fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info)
