June 30, 1520 "Noche Triste"




Noche Triste.

It is dark and rainy night. It's a very dark and a gloomy day. We will remember this night, "Noche Triste," a "Sad Night"

We marched to the coast and captured Panfillo de Narvaez easily. It was easier than I thought it would be, and we persuaded most of his troops to join ours. They were easily convinced, and followed us back to the city. We marched to the inland, Tenochititlan, but a huge problem had exploded meanwhile I was gone. The Aztecs had revolted against our Spanish troops, and Montezuma II had died. The Aztecs had realized that we had taken their riches and much of the gold, and they had gotten angry. He had been stoned to death, while he tried to calm down the Aztecs. About 600 noble Aztecs had died and also a lot of my soldiers had died and injured themselves in the revolt.



It's a dark, rainy night and we had to be out of the city. It was a bloody violent battle, and we are now in Tlaxcalan. In the way to Tlaxcalan, we defeated an Aztec army at Otumba. Then we marched to the city of Tlaxcalan. I'm planning to reorganize my troop and train them more and go back to the city of Tenochititlan. I'm planning to seize back the city of the Aztecs and conquer the Aztec Empire back.
