With the victories of the battles, and even directly into the territory of Mexico, Zachary Taylor's reputation in the country is getting louder and louder. At the end of June, when Zachary Taylor was leading the troops to fight in the Mexican border area, he Once again received a new appointment from the president and was officially promoted to major general.

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

However, all this did not affect Zachary Taylor's actions in the slightest. He still led his troops and continued to deepen into Mexico.

Victor and James also didn't feel anything about Zachary Taylor's promotion, and still regarded him as an old man who led them to fight. As for reverence and worship, I am afraid that only Chen Mo has this qualification in this world. .

Although Zachary Taylor led them to successive victories, the two did not think that old Taylor was so powerful. In their hearts, if Chen Mo led them, they would definitely be a hundred times stronger than this sloppy old man.

Although the two of them worshiped Chen Mo blindly, they were right. If Chen Mo led the team, it would not be 100 times stronger, but at least they could find out the exact situation of the enemy in advance more than ten kilometers away. Prepare in advance and take it in stride.

Moreover, Chen Mo often led the special team to go deep behind the enemy to conduct raids and encirclement and suppression in the world of "Captain America". He has rich combat experience, developed brain, agile thinking, and superhuman learning ability. ability.

However, Chen Mo is not interested in these wars, and he does not need to improve his strength through battle like Victor and James, and fighting with ordinary soldiers can no longer help him improve his combat skills and strength, only the same level as him. Or a stronger opponent can stimulate his potential and improve his strength.

So instead of participating in the Mexican-American War with Victor and James, he stayed in the West temporarily, steadily developing his many ranches while continuing to accumulate funds, waiting for new opportunities to come.

Chen Mo's ranch has become the best place for the pioneers to go to the west. The job is stable, the salary is generous, and the most important thing is that there is no risk. It is much better than going to the land for farming or grazing on their own.

If they do it themselves, once they encounter natural and man-made disasters, crop yields decrease, livestock get sick, be killed by wild animals, or be stolen by cattle thieves, the loss is simply beyond their ability to bear.

But under Chen Mo, it was different.

Nowadays, who does not know that all the large-scale ranches in the entire west belong to the same mysterious rich man with deep pockets. It is said that his wealth has already surpassed that of the richest man in the United States. The amount of money is simply immeasurable. He not only has a large number of ranches in the west , He also has a huge farm in the eastern region, and in addition to this huge farming and animal husbandry empire, he also owns many more profitable industries. Even if any natural and man-made disasters really happen, it will not be able to shake his foundation. Therefore, in the pasture His job can be said to be extremely stable and very secure. Being able to become the cowboy of Chen Mo Ranch is a good thing for many people to break the head.

With the development of the ranch, more and more livestock are raised, and the demand for cowboys is also increasing. A large number of pioneers have joined Chen Mo's ranch continuously. In the entire western region, more than half of the hundreds of thousands of people are in Chen Mo's work is distributed in Chen Mo's vast pastures in several states.

Moreover, this number is still increasing with the increase of immigrants who come to the west to open up the wasteland and the continuous development of the pasture in the hands of Chen Mo.

While developing his ranch, Chen Mo also kept an eye on the war situation in the south.

At the end of September, Zachary Taylor led his troops to attack Monterrey, an important city in northern Mexico.

After three days of fierce fighting, the Mexican garrison generals gave in and demanded an eight-week ceasefire from Zachary Taylor, allowing the Mexican army to withdraw.

In view of the heavy casualties of the U.S. troops under his command, Zachary Taylor continued to advance into Mexico.

Their material supply line has also been stretched very long, and if it continues like this, it is very easy to be cut off by the local supply and become a lonely army.

Zachary Taylor believes that the conditions put forward by the other party are the best possible results for both parties at that time, so Zachary Taylor finally agreed to a truce.

Two months later, all the defenders of Monterrey withdrew, and Zachary Taylor led his troops into Monterrey, occupying this important town in northern Mexico without a single shot.

Although Zachary Taylor's action avoided a large number of casualties among American soldiers and eventually succeeded in capturing Monterey, his action still attracted dissatisfaction from many people.

Victor and James, who are eager to fight, needless to say, the two little guys have given old Tyler a lot of eyes for the past two months. Zachary Taylor is also deeply helpless to these two extremely belligerent boys. He glared back angrily.

In addition to Victor and James, two extremely belligerent, dissatisfied beasts, Zachary Taylor's operation has also attracted a lot of criticism in Washington.

President Polk was very dissatisfied with his self-assertive style, but in view of his successive victories since the Mexican-American War, his reputation in the United States has grown, and he has long become a war hero in the eyes of the people. To be the future presidential candidate of the Whig Party, President Polk did not criticize him for the incident, but ordered him to stay in northern Mexico in November and sent General Winfield Scott to attack Mexico by sea. City, and ordered that four-fifths of Zachary Taylor's trained elite troops and war supplies be transferred to General Scott.

The news was quickly learned by the Mexican side.

Zachary Taylor, who has entered the territory of Mexico from the disputed area between the United States and Mexico, has already become a thorn in Mexico's eyes. He has dispatched troops to encircle and suppress him many times, but ultimately ended in failure. The casualties were heavy, and even among the last surviving soldiers, a rumor gradually emerged that the soldiers of the army led by Zachary Taylor were devils and could not be killed by their bullets and bayonets.

And this kind of rumors increased with the battle with Zachary Taylor's troops. Many soldiers were convinced of this. When they heard that they were going to fight with Zachary Taylor's troops, they were all timid and morale. A big blow, let alone Zachary Taylor's opponent.
