"It's time to act!" On August 6, 1706, it was another dark night.

Wang Shen took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was five minutes later. He nodded to a team member. The man nodded silently and left the room.

This is the basement of St. Augustine's Church, which is very secretive, but also makes people feel a little uncomfortable, because there are more than a dozen coffins parked in this vast basement, basically all dead local nobles or officials of considerable status. The boys from the East Coast Operations Team have lived here for several days, and the taste is imaginable.

St. Augustine's Cathedral is a cathedral, the core of the region, but all the clergy are from the local area. There have been bishops from the Peninsula, in fact, it is normal for the Peninsula to seize the main clergy. This bishop happened to be Juan, born in Florida, who had studied in Europe for many years and managed religious affairs in Spain. This man is a local aristocratic sympathizer, although he hid very well.

Bishop Juan provided great convenience to the rebels' actions. More than a dozen members of the operation team, plus three times the number of local noble children, almost all hid in a few days in advance. The church provided them with food and water, and even brought in a large number of weapons in an unobtrusive way, allowing them to stick to the church for a long time.

This morning, the intelligence station sent people (Hispanic intelligence officers) to convey the information, asking them to find an opportunity to ring the church bell late at night. In this case, the uprisingers who have moved to the outside of the city in advance will immediately launch a move, and with the help of the inside, rush into the city, and control the general's mansion, arsenal, material warehouse, military camp and the residences of all the leading officials with lightning speed. As long as this is completed, the uprising can be said to be successful, and St. Augustine will usher in a new life.

Time passed by minute by minute. All the members of the action team had sorted out their equipment, left the suppressed and dirty basement, and walked onto the ground with full arms. About fifty insurers who received the news also carried out live ammunition and walked out of other hiding places. After saying a few words to the people on the east coast, they immediately split up.

The people in the church had long been gathered together, and Bishop Juan persuaded them. The faces of these people were different, some were full of fear, some were calm, and some were unable to hide their joy, revealing their different political stances. Overall, most people supported the uprising, which may be attributed to the continuous publicity over the years, but no one had ever taken the initiative to think that after driving away the Peninsula people, would their living standards really take a qualitative leap? Sorry, ordinary people do not have enough knowledge and experience to analyze this

In all, their education level is too low and is not enough to support them to think rationally. As for the people in the upper class, well, their interests will definitely be guaranteed, and even more likely to become richer. This is the fundamental reason why they promote independence. When the level of social productivity has not been greatly improved and the overall wealth has not changed much, if the rich want to become rich, they can only put the part taken away by the peninsula people into their pockets. As for whether to divide it to ordinary people who are currently preparing to fight for independence, it is hard to say.

"Ring the big bell immediately and send a signal." Wang Shen pulled out the flintlock pistol from his waist and ordered. Behind him, the operation team members had already rushed to the door and piled up all kinds of heavy objects behind the door. Each window began to strengthen to prevent people from rushing in. Although after the bell rang, the ambushing uprisers would start, and the soldiers loyal to the Spanish king in the city might not have time to come and check it out, but they were afraid of everything, so they would be prepared.

"Dang!Dang!Dang!" The dull bell rang in the night sky, splitting the dark curtain like thunder. In the various farms and warehouses outside the city of St. Augustine, groups of soldiers jumped up and rushed towards the city. Because there was no wall, the entire St. Augustine was unprepared in front of them. They could easily rush into the city, and then, under the leadership of the guide and commander, go straight to their respective targets.

The messy and fast footsteps quickly rang out in the streets and alleys. This was not the attack by the rebels outside the city, but the troops influenced by local nobles in the city. To be precise, it was an infantry regiment stationed near the arsenal in the west of the city. The infantry regiment currently has only a few hundred people, with mixed compositions, including peninsula people from the old continent, Mestiso people and a small number of native white people, and the latter two account for more than half.

After hearing the church bell ringing, the deputy commander of the regiment led several officers to trick the guards away and captured the sleeping commander. The commander actually heard the movement before they rushed in, but after thinking about it, he threw the pistol hidden at the head of the bed under the bed and surrendered. After finding that his subordinates had just put him under house arrest and had no intention of harming him, he was relieved. After all, he had eaten, drunk and gambling together, and this ticket was right.

The rebel officers who controlled the regiment commander directly cleaned the military camp, disarmed the officers or soldiers they thought were unreliable, and temporarily locked up. Then, with the remaining more than 400 people, they headed straight to the arsenal. The dozens of soldiers guarding here barely fired two shots, and then wisely gave up their resistance and surrendered. Everyone was making a living and owed military pay, so there was no need to be beaten to death.

The main force of the rebel army was a gentleman regiment composed of native white men. The leader of this regiment was not so lucky. He was the new leader not long after he took office and belonged to General Dorado. After discovering that the situation was wrong, he chose to resist with several followers. Nearly a hundred native white men joined him. Don’t think that all native white men are natural uprisingers. In fact, there are still people loyal to the king. They shot and shouted, asking the "rebellion" soldiers to put down their weapons. But the rest were determined to rebel. Even if someone hesitated and wavered, they would soon be scolded and suppressed by the officers.

After the rebels pushed the artillery, the commander of the Gentleman's regiment quickly gave up his resistance and ordered the soldiers to break out in the direction of the General's Mansion. If you give up the material warehouse, give up. It is impossible to defend it anymore. There is also a small warehouse in the General's Mansion, which should be enough to keep them for a while and wait for possible changes in the situation. If not, they will undoubtedly be dead and no one can escape from St. Augustine.

After leaving some manpower to control the situation, the rest of the infantry regiment and the gentlemen regiment rushed to the General's Mansion in the center of the city from east and west, and ran head-on with the Peninsula Infantry regiment that was rushing over halfway. The two sides fought fiercely with the houses in the city. Outside the city, a large number of noble private armed forces were also pouring in. Under the guidance of the East Coast Consultant, their first goal was not to capture the general's Mansion, the symbol of the general's Mansion, but to eliminate the enemy's biological forces. The Peninsula Infantry regiment from the Old Continent was more than a thousand people.

As long as this unit is destroyed, the guards of dozens of people from the General's Mansion will be slaughtered? If they cannot be eliminated, even if they capture the General's Mansion, they may face the enemy's counterattack. In the end, they will still have to concentrate their troops to kill them, and they will pay a greater price, which is very unwise.

The combat effectiveness of the Peninsula Infantry Regiment was indeed very unbearable to the East Coast people, but they were well-deserved elder brothers on St. Augustine's side. The skillful rafting made the native white soldiers of the Gentleman's Order unable to raise their heads, and they retreated step by step, almost allowing the road to the General's Mansion. Fortunately, more than 400 infantry battalions in the west of the city arrived and launched an attack from the flank, causing considerable chaos to the Peninsula. Only then did the Gentleman have time to reorganize and launch a counterattack on the enemy.

General Dorado once rushed out with fifty guard members to try to respond, but was quickly shot back by a series of guns. He had too few people, and it was difficult to play a role after the gentleman's regiment assigned more than a hundred people to take care of them. After the first private armed forces from the Nunes family who came from outside the city arrived, the general's mansion was completely dead, with more than fifty people tightly sealed inside, waiting for the ruling of the god of death.

The other native white noble armed forces were also pouring in. Many of them even held old-fashioned mesh guns, but that didn't matter. With the absolute advantage of the number of people, the projectiles they shot were still fatal. Soon, with the addition of these new forces, even with the superior combat effectiveness, the Peninsula Infantry Regiment was still unable to withstand the bullets shot from all directions. Many of the later Mestiso people rushed into the houses on both sides of the road, or simply climbed onto the roof to shoot, allowing the group of Peninsula people to experience a three-dimensional attack that was 360 degrees without dead corners.

So they were defeated, and they were completely defeated! Many soldiers died in the unobstructed streets, and many others fled around. They knocked wildly and hit the doors of the houses on both sides, but no one paid attention to them. The residents were staunched against the doors and windows in the houses. They found all obstacles that could block the doors and prevent the deadly peninsula people from escaping.

Of course, more peninsula people surrendered. Seeing that there was no hope of victory, they simply called for surrender. Everyone came to the New World to make a fortune, not inexplicably died in street fighting. In fact, they were also confused tonight, and were kicked out of bed by the officers, and then fought an incredible battle with the people. Now they found that the people who fought were all Spanish, so there was really no need to fight again. We admit defeat!
