Chapter 427

With the victory of battles, even directly to the Mexican territory, Zachary Taylor's reputation in the country has become more and more famous. At the end of June, when Zachary Taylor was leading his troops to fight in the border area of Mexico, he received a new appointment from the president and was promoted to major general.

In July, Zachary Taylor was honored by Congress for his outstanding performance in the war.

But none of this has affected Zachary Taylor's operations. He is still leading his troops to Mexico.

Victor and James also have no sense of Zachary Taylor's promotion. They still regard him as an old leader who leads them to fight. As for awe and worship, Chen may be the only one in the world who has this qualification.

Although Zachary Taylor won with them in a row, they didn't think that old Taylor was so powerful. In their hearts, if Chen Mo led them, they would definitely be 100 times better than this untidy old man.

Although they have some blind admiration for Chen Mo, they are also right. If Chen Mo leads the team, it is not enough to be 100 times stronger. But at least they can find out the exact situation of the enemy in advance more than ten kilometers away, make preparations in advance and deal with it calmly.

Moreover, Chen Mo often led the special forces to attack and encircle the enemy's rear in the world of "Captain America". Chen Mo's combat experience, developed brain, agile thinking and superhuman learning ability also enable him to have a strong ability in tactics and command.

However, Chen Mo is not interested in these wars. He doesn't need to improve his own strength by fighting like Victor and James. He can't improve his fighting skills and strength by fighting with ordinary soldiers. Only his opponents of the same level or stronger can inspire his potential and improve his strength.

So he did not participate in the Mexican American war with Victor and James, but stayed in the West temporarily, while steadily developing his many pastures, while continuing to accumulate funds and waiting for new opportunities.

Chen Mo's ranch has become the best place for the pioneers to go to the west, with stable work and rich salary. The most important thing is that there is no risk, which is much better than their own farming or grazing.

If they do it by themselves, they will not be able to bear the loss in case of natural and man-made disasters, crop reduction, livestock illness, being killed by wild animals, or being stolen by cattle thieves.

It's different under Chen mo.

Now who knows that all the large pastures in the whole western region are owned by the same rich mysterious tycoon? It is said that the wealth he holds has already surpassed the richest man in the United States. The amount of money is almost impossible to measure. He not only owns a large number of pastures in the western region, but also owns a large area of farms in the eastern region. Besides this huge farming and animal husbandry Empire, he also There are many more profitable industries, even if there is any natural or man-made disaster, it can not shake his foundation at all, so the work in the ranch can be said to be extremely stable, very secure, and can become the cowboy of chenmo ranch, but many people broke the good thing of head race.

With the development of ranch, more and more livestock are raised, and more and more cowboys are needed. A large number of pioneers have continuously joined chenmo's ranch. In the whole western part of China, more than half of the 100000 people work under chenmo's hands, and chenmo's ranch is distributed in several States and covers a vast area.

Moreover, the number is increasing with the increase of immigrants coming to the West and the continuous development of the pasture in chenmo's hands.

While developing his own ranch, Chen Mo also paid close attention to the war in the south at any time.

At the end of September, Zachary Taylor led the attack on the important city of Monterey in northern Mexico.

After three days of fierce fighting, the general of the Mexican garrison gave in and asked Zachary Taylor to cease fire for eight weeks and allow the Mexican army to withdraw.

In view of the heavy casualties of his American troops, Zachary Taylor's supply line has been pulled for a long time with the continuous advance into Mexico, and it is very easy for him to be cut off and become a lonely army.

Zachary Taylor believes that the conditions proposed by the other side are the best possible result for both sides at that time, so in the end, Zachary Taylor agreed to a truce.

Two months later, the Monterey garrison was completely withdrawn, Zachary Taylor led his troops into Monterey, occupying the important northern Mexican town.

Although Zachary Taylor's operation avoided a large number of deaths and injuries of American soldiers, and finally succeeded in capturing Monterey, his operation still attracted many people's dissatisfaction.

Victor and James, who are eager to fight, don't have to say that the two little guys haven't blinded old Taylor in the past two months. Zachary Taylor is also deeply helpless to these two extremely belligerent boys, and he always stares back angrily.

In addition to victor and James, two extremely belligerent and discontented beasts, Zachary Taylor's action also caused a lot of criticism in Washington.

President Polk was very dissatisfied with his style of self assertion, but in view of his successive victories since the US Mexican War, which made him increasingly famous in the United States, he had already become a war hero in the eyes of the people, and was likely to become the future presidential candidate of the Whig party. Therefore, President Polk did not blame him more about this incident, but in the next November He stayed in northern Mexico, sent General Winfield Scott to attack Mexico City by sea, and ordered four fifths of Zachary Taylor's trained elite troops and war supplies to be transferred to general Scott.The news was soon heard by the Mexican side.

Zachary Taylor, who had been killed all the way from the disputed areas of the United States and Mexico to Mexico, has long been a thorn in the eye of Mexico. He has been sent to encircle and suppress him for many times, but in the end, he failed. Every time he fought, the Mexican army suffered heavy casualties. Even among the surviving soldiers, there was a rumor that Zachary Taylor's troops and soldiers It's all demons, and they can't be killed by their bullets and bayonets.

Moreover, with the fighting against Zachary Taylor's troops, there are more and more rumors. Many soldiers believe that they are going to fight against Zachary Taylor's troops. They are all timid before fighting, and their morale is greatly damaged, not to mention their opponents.
