Just so you're not confused, this was not a military invasion and Charles Martel was just lucky.

Question: in the Aztec calendar, is 2019 going to be 1 Reed, or does it not repeat exactly like that?

If it repeats every 500 years according to the solar cycle, then 1 Reed will be during the month of Mar 2019, right? 500 years after Cortez?
