Genius remember the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! At this point, the US-Mexico war can be said to have ended, the military operations of both sides have completely stopped, waiting for peace talks, the rest is the politicians. things in between.

On November 26, 1847, Zachary Taylor left Mexico and returned to the United States.

After being transferred away most of the troops before, resulting in an empty force, and fighting with the main Mexican army waiting for an opportunity to destroy them for many days, and witnessing the deaths of too many soldiers under his own eyes, Zachary Taylor is already tired of the war, He also lost his former enthusiasm for the army he loved, and he was even a little disheartened.

After returning to the United States, Zachary Taylor immediately asked Washington to be dismissed from the military and to leave the army.

President Polk was originally very dissatisfied with his previous behavior in the battle, and his request was quickly granted. Zachary Taylor, the "biggest hero" of the US-Mexico War, took off after the war had just ended. After dismounting in his uniform, he set off to return to his hometown in Kentucky.

However, he was not alone on the road. There were two young men with strong body and suffocation riding with him, it was Victor and James.

The Mexican-American War has basically ended, and the original troops do not need to continue to be retained. These temporarily recruited soldiers can go home after receiving severance pay.

In fact, the two had performed well in the battle before, and Zachary Taylor had a love for talent. Originally, he planned to keep the two of them in the army. Based on their previous achievements, they will be rewarded after a period of time. , there is absolutely no problem in being promoted directly to second lieutenant.

However, the two did not appreciate it, and immediately proposed to leave.

After the war is over, what are you doing in the army, training?

No matter who you are training with, you are not as fast as Chen Mo. Whether it is marksmanship or fighting, the instructors in the army are completely incomparable with Chen Mo, let alone Chen Mo. Even the two of them don’t know how much better than them. Staying in the army is simply a waste of time.

Zachary Taylor has lost his temper for these two stubborn little guys. Whoever sees him as a general should not be in awe, and the soldiers under his command are even more in awe. Only these two little guys are completely Think of yourself as the old man next door with them hunting.

If they didn't find the prey, which would lead to less fighting, the two would be unhappy directly, and they would show their faces.

But when the two little guys were fighting, they still obeyed orders. They said that they never knew how to retreat when they rushed forward. The two sharpest knives in his hand were too late for Zachary Taylor to like, how could he be really angry because the two were eager to fight.

On the contrary, after a long time, Zachary Taylor gradually got used to the tempers of the two. Not only did he not feel offended, but he also felt that the two were teenagers with true temperaments. The love of the younger generation made him love Victor and James even more.

Zachary Taylor saw that the two did not intend to stay in the army, so he agreed to the request of the two to be discharged from the army, and it happened that the three of them were on the way home, so they simply went on the road together.

Now that he has been dismissed from the military, Zachary Taylor no longer regards himself as a general, as the commander of the two, but really regards himself as the old man next door who is hunting with two little guys. The person is very caring, and from time to time imparts some of his life experience and principles over the years.

Of course, both Victor and James did not regard him as a general at first, and Zachary Taylor was originally a sincere, cheerful, frank, and approachable person, and now he has become more amiable when he removes his burdens. Feeling the sincerity of Zachary Taylor, Victor and James slowly accepted this lovely old man, and treated him not as coldly as before.

Zachary Taylor naturally felt the change in the attitude of the two towards him, and was even more happy in his heart. These two wild little beasts,

I finally recognized him. You must know that he had led them as a unit commander for two whole years in the army before, and he could not really get the recognition of the two.

Zachary Taylor, who is very relieved, takes care of and teaches the two of them wholeheartedly.

As a veteran general with more than 40 years of experience in the army, Zachary Taylor has a rich life experience. He lived in a manor at the foot of the Canadian Rocky Mountains since he was a child, and did not have much contact with the society. Later, he followed Chen Mo to the United States. , most of the time is also in the forest fighting with the fur company's armed personnel, with almost zero social experience, following Zachary Taylor along the way, the two have really learned a lot.

"Your home is in New York, how did you travel so far to join the army in Texas?"

After getting on better with the two little guys, Zachary Taylor asked a question in his heart.

You must know that the soldiers temporarily recruited by him are basically all people living in the local area. Only Victor and James are outsiders, and they are still thousands of miles away in New York, so there are only three of them on the way.

Zachary Taylor had doubts in his heart for a long time, but at the beginning, he would definitely not answer him based on his understanding of the two, but now, he believes that the two should tell him.

Sure enough, Victor and James glanced at each other, thinking that Chen Mo had not instructed them to keep it secret, and that there was nothing to hide, Victor said.

"We like to fight, and the master sent us here."

Zachary Taylor heard the words full of curiosity.

"master?"

"That's right, both of us are the master's entourage!"

Victor and James raised their heads proudly, as if this was something to be proud of.

Zachary Taylor looked at the obviously reverent eyes when the two mentioned the "Master", and couldn't help but be full of curiosity about this mysterious "Master".

He had a deep understanding of the rebelliousness of Victor and James, who could be so revered by them.

and……

"How did your master know that the war was about to take place? He just sent you to me?"

Zachary Taylor was very impressed with Victor and James. He clearly remembered that not long after the two joined his troops, they received orders from Washington to drive into the depths of the disputed area between the United States and Mexico. Then came the battle, and then the Mexican-American War officially broke out.

The timing of the arrival of the two was too coincidental, and the two liked to fight, so their "Master" just happened to choose the army led by him that fought the most in the entire Mexican-American War.

What if this is all a coincidence? That would be too coincidental, right?
