Chapter 155 Spanish Colonial Army
"Spanish troops?

Is this news accurate? "

"President, please rest assured, I have sent several waves of scouts to confirm that both the flag and the uniform are from the colonial army of the New Spain Colonial Area.

These New Spanish colonial troops were originally used by the Governor of New Spain to wipe out uncivilized indigenous Indian tribes and guard places. Their combat effectiveness is slightly lower than that of the regular army from the Kingdom of Spain in the Governor of New Spain.

Mainly reflected in armaments and training.

Corruption has always been prevalent in the Spanish government, and the Governor-General of New Spain, which is far away from the political center of the Kingdom of Spain, has already made corruption public. In addition to strict restrictions on race levels, any rich businessman from Spain who comes here, as long as he can afford it, will Can seek the status of a grassroots bureaucrat and manor owner.

Therefore, the governor of New Spain has a lot of colonial troops on the surface, but the phenomenon of empty pay and deduction of military expenses is very serious.

In order to fill their pockets, those Spanish generals even saved some money in daily training, and their weapons and equipment have not been replaced for decades...

The main Spanish army stationed in big cities such as Mexico may be supervised by the governor, but the local colonial troops are almost rotten. "

"It's so bad that you can still pull out an army of [-] to [-]?"

Yuri looked puzzled.

"Your Excellency, don't be fooled by their appearance.

In fact, the vast majority of this army are 'mercenaries'.

Although the colonial army in the Governor's District of New Spain was deserted, a large number of mixed-race whites were born after years of reproduction.

Not to mention that they are compared with pure-bred whites, even the native whites born in the Governor of New Spain have a higher status than them. In the Spanish American colonies, race and origin are very particular.

Since these mixed-race whites can't get the status of native-born pure-bred whites, it shows that their parents have no ability and social status.

However, they are freer and have a higher status than the real Indians, and they can be protected by Spanish colonial laws and will not be reduced to slaves.

Therefore, this group of mixed-race whites are not even eligible to be slaves.

Although being a slave is miserable, at least it can fill your stomach. In the colonial laws of New Spain, no one dared to hire mixed-race white people as slaves, and those jobs with little technical content were occupied by a large number of indigenous slaves and black slaves, resulting in mixed-race slavery. It is difficult for white people to find a job that fills their stomachs.

As for more advanced jobs, they are either easier or more profitable, and naturally they are firmly controlled by native-born whites and purebred whites.

In the end, mixed-race whites could only join the army, but because of the serious lack of pay in the colonial army, it was impossible to absorb more and more mixed-race whites.

In this way, in the Viceroyalty of New Spain and even other Spanish colonies in South America, mercenaries with mixed-race whites as the main body appeared.

The Spanish colonial government has always been very defensive about the natives' mastery of force, so it is very difficult for the native Indians to become mercenaries with guns, but the mixed-race whites have no such scruples.

They all believed in Catholicism, and part of their white blood still flowed in their bodies, so the Spanish colonial government was very relieved to hire them as soldiers.

The local colonial army of the Spanish colonial authorities has been corrupted for a long time, but the Spanish colonies in the Americas are too vast, and it is impossible to conquer every corner. In the Spanish colonies, there are many primitive Indian tribes living on land that is not occupied by the government. .

The colonial army was useless, so the Spanish colonial government began to use a large number of cheap and safe mixed-race white mercenaries.

As a result, there are a large number of mixed-race white mercenaries all over the Spanish colonies. Every war is their feast. If there is no war, they will be half-people and half-bandits.

The army standing in front of us was a group of mercenaries composed of mixed-race whites. The Spanish colonial army uniforms they wore were temporarily transferred from the warehouse for them to wear, and the same was true for the military flags.

The New Spanish colonial government actually changed the skin of the group of mercenaries to guarantee their interests in terms of political stance. "

"I didn't expect you, Andrew, to know the Spanish colonies so well."

"My subordinate originally served in the Sauron Army. As a border state with the Spanish colonies, Georgia naturally had to be on guard against the Spanish colonial government at all times. I even led troops to personally fight against the mercenaries composed of Spanish mixed-race whites.

Get to know them naturally. "

"Then tell me about the combat effectiveness of these Spanish mercenaries."

"Individual combat power and group combat power are inferior to the Sauron Legion, which is why the Spanish mercenaries in Florida have always been more powerful than Georgia, but they have always been suppressed.

In addition, the weapons and equipment of these Spanish mercenaries are relatively backward, there is no advanced field gun, most soldiers still use old matchlock guns, and even spearmen can be seen inside.

After all, the main enemies they deal with on weekdays are the more backward native Indians, and these mercenaries are generally poor, so their weapons and equipment have not been changed much.

Among the original thirteen states in North America, the power of Georgia alone was able to block the attack of the Governor General of New Spain, mainly because the mercenaries who had become the main force of the Spanish colony were too bad. "

"What about the main army that the Governor of New Spain went to?"

"The Spanish army was equipped according to European standards. Although the Kingdom of Spain has long since declined, it still has good combat effectiveness in the American colonies, and has been stationed under the eyes of the governor of the Spanish colonies. No one dares to reach out to it.

However, this army is the basis for the Kingdom of Spain to maintain the American colonies. Unless a national war breaks out, the Spanish colonial government will not mobilize.

Once this Spanish army is defeated, large-scale uprisings will break out in the large Spanish colonies in America without the help of outsiders.

After all, the racial hierarchy laws enacted by the Spanish colonial government were very unfair. Not only native Indians and black slaves, but even mixed-race whites with free citizenship were also very dissatisfied.

A lot of interests and wealth are concentrated in the hands of high-level purebred whites. The Spanish colonial government is a typical regime in which the minority oppresses the majority. Without a strong armed force, the Spanish colonial government would have collapsed long ago. "

"Then what if we destroy the Spanish colonial army in front of us?"

"That will not affect the strength of the Governor of Mexico, but it will have a significant impact on the Florida province that is on the verge of us.

Although this army is all mercenaries, it is already all the field forces that Spain's Florida province can produce. "
