@PanAdam1 As I've said before, the city is enormous! It is filled with canals and main streets since it is placed on an island in the middle of the lake. There are tons of large open squares, and colossal Aztec pyramids. Here is a pic that I took of the city:
We have laid siege on Tenochtitlan! It's just a matter of time before the #natives surrender. Soon they are going to run out of supplies and food. They didn't think it through when they built their city in the middle of a lake. P.S. It's kinda easy to lay siege because of this😌
(cont.) Hope all you #nobles in Spain enjoy all the cotton cloths, jewels, feathers, silver, and GOLD! Tbh I think my personal favourite is xocolatl, which is crushed cocoa beans with chilli peppers and water and is also known as the "food of the gods." #makeSpainwealthyagain
Since I will be staying in Mexico City, making sure that the capital will be constructed, and that all that's left of the #natives is converted to Christianity #GodBless#nomorepagans I hope that all the goods will be delivered to Spain.
Also, I have a message to all those #haters who did not believe that I will reach (and even surpass) my goal of gathering riches and making me--ugh, Spain wealthy. *cough* *cough* @diegovelazquez:
A little shoutout to my rivals here, the #natives: You were all a great opponent. Sad to see you all being murdered by my troops, killed by smallpox, or enslaved by me...jk not really! #justkidding But you know what they say: the best will always win😌
Great News! Because I did such a great job conquering (aka killing millions of #natives and enslaving everyone else) the mainland of the New World, King Charles V has appointed me the governor of New Spain! #teamCortes
A little before and after pic of Tenochtitlan. All they left me were ruins of a smouldering city! Maybe when I rebuild it, it will be called something like Corteslandia, or Pueblo de Hernan?🤔 #teamCortes
August 13, 1521: HA! Finally, they have surrendered! After I have captured their Emperor Cuauhtemoc, they dropped their weapons and Tenochtitlan, and the whole country was mine-- ugh right, it was King Charles the V's... #NuevaEspaña
Ugh! Why can't the #natives just give up? They have been fighting us day after day when my cavalry, soldiers, and brigantines have bombarded them night and day! Soon there won't be anything left of this town and they will still be standing... #giveupplease
Brigantines ready. Army ready. Tactics ready. Supplies ready. Tomorrow we march! Here is a little insight on our route (the blue one). Sorry yet again, but we aren't rich enough (yet) to get a new map, so here is the old one... #notrichyet#teamCortes
Ahhh figured it out! These #natives have no immune system against European diseases. As I've said: Weaklings! Thousands or even millions of them died because of the smallpox epidemic that WE have brought to this country. Go diseases! #teamCortes
My brigantines are in construction, almost three of them are already completed. #gome Otherwise my army is well rested, and I have received reinforcements of supplies and men from the Tlaxcaltecas. As soon as the ships are completed, we march on the capital. Beware #natives...
Nevermind, I've got the ideal solution! Gonna order my people and the #natives to build 13 brigantines to assault the island. Those Aztec canoes will have no chance with my ships. Plus gonna siege the city, till those weaklings surrender! #teamCortes
