Chapter 301: The Tale of the Texas Bandits!
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi.
In fact, the situation of these three states is roughly the same, because their status is almost the same, they all belong to the southern states west of the Appalachian Mountains, they have a lot of similarities, if you don't look at the geographical gap in details, these three states have a lot of similarities, if you want to say that it is more special, it is Texas.
When the American Civil War broke out in 1861, the Texas state voted to vote on whether people wanted to join the North or the South.
The results came out quickly, join the South!
This is a normal result, this is full of cotton fields, that is, most of them are slave owners, but some people think it is not good.
Who?
It was the governor at the time, Sam Brown. Houston!
This governor is no ordinary governor, Sam. Houston is a legend in the United States, he is the most famous cowboy, he was an Indian in his early years, and later helped Texas to become independent from Spain, he can be said to be the father of Texas, and the name of the city in Texas is also his!
Before the governor, Sam. Houston is the president of the Republic of Texas, such a person, how strong, but he thinks it's not good, so what can he do?
None of us will help, so let's be neutral, okay?
That's Sam's way, to be honest, it's already a plan to curry favor with the slave owner, but!
"You Houston don't join the rebellion in the South! Step down! ”
That's what the Texas legislature told Houston at the time, and the legend returned home. Within two years he was dead.
What can be seen from this?
Texas. The southern forces of this place are very strong!
In fact. Not only Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, these are all strong states in the South, because both states have the most important slave trading ports in the United States!
So, if such a place is occupied by the Northern Army, what will be the situation?
Guerrillas everywhere!
It's a bit of an elegant word. That is called the division of local armed forces. But these guerrillas are very interesting, after all, it is a civil war, and there are those who support the South and those who support the North, so these guerrillas are also divided into two factions, and the chaos is terrifying.
Now the most famous guerrillas who support the North are called the 'Blue Eagles', and the most famous one in the South is called the 'Tree Cutting Team'!
But it's very interesting, Li Mengyang Tong guò his intelligence network knows, the leader of the tree cutting team. His name is William. Cotter, but this guy used to be from the Blue Eagles!
So. It's not a pot of porridge, is it?
Messy, messy, messy!
So in the face of such chaos, what will Li Mengyang do?
The current goal is to relieve the siege of Atlanta, but Li Mengyang's imperial army is the third force, and it seems that neither side is pleasing either.
Then let's just have a stick and a turnip!
……
William. Anderson, this guy has a nickname called 'Bloody Bill', the so-called Bill, is another name for William, that's it in the United States, of course, this guy won't know that more than 100 years later, a guy named Clinton became president, and others also called that guy Bill.
However, Bloody Bill did not bark in vain, this fellow's mount was a black steed, and he wore a necklace on it to decorate his beloved horse, which was worn by the skull of a Union soldier.
Such a fierce character, he used to be with that William. Cotterier is a bastard, and now, this tree cutting gang has split into many bandits, and in addition to fighting the soldiers of the Northern Federation, they go to rob some rich people in the local area when they have nothing to do.
No way, where do you think their salaries will come from?
And don't forget, they are against the Northern Federation, that is to say, they are against the invaders, and I am against the invaders, so I can rob in the name of this, and we are right......
It's logically interesting, but this logic is actually universal.
But but, after all, they were going to fight the Yankees, and those guys were not cowards, and because what they did was too much, aroused the anger of the people, and many people organized to form a militia. The Anderson team isn't having an easy time.
And on this day, a man came to his ranks.
"Boss! It's this kid, he's wearing the sign of the Tree Cutter Gang! "A guy with a dirty face and a denim costume talked to William. Anderson reported.
"Huh?" Anderson raised his already very vicious face, no way, he killed too many people, and tortured corpses, otherwise where did those skulls come from? The face is born from the heart, and he is not at all what he used to be.
"Cook that bastard and eat it!"
This is William. Anderson's order, and his men, all felt a chill, is this really going to eat people?
"Boss!" The cowboy from before didn't want to eat anyone, "That guy is Frank. James, I've known him before, and this one is hard to eat. ”
"Hahaha......" William. Anderson laughed, baring his teeth, "Okay, bring me that james!" ”
Frank. James was the most trusted subordinate of the leader of the Tree Cutter Gang, Cotteryll's troops, which were actually raised in Kansas, and in the early years, they were the main members of the 'Bleeding Kansas'. Brown.
Well, John. Brown, an anti-slavery hero, would never have imagined that his former men would later join the South to deal with Union soldiers.
As an old man of the Tree Cutting Gang, Frank is naturally very familiar, and this time he came to William. Anderson, too, has his purpose.
"Mr. Anderson, you can eat me if you want, but my body is old, and I haven't taken a bath for a long time, and it's very sour, I'm afraid it won't taste good."
Frank. James and William. As soon as Anderson met, there was a smell of gunpowder in his words.
"I said, Mr. James, what are you doing here? Could it be that Cottrier that guy was killed by Jim. Ryan killed? "Anderson said Jim. Ryan is the leader of the Blue Eagles.
The Blue Eagles, in fact, also came up from Kansas, that is to say, everyone used to be really comrades in the same team, but now, if they meet, they will inevitably shoot first.
"Of course not yet." Frank. James took off his cowboy hat and patted it, it was all dirt, obviously he had a hard time coming, "But it's fast, so I'm not going to come to you." ”
"Haha......" William. Anderson understood that this Frank must be cornered, and came to defect, but though, "What about your brother?" ”
"Hey~ He was lucky to see God." Frank. James had a younger brother named Quincy, and as he said this, he put his hat on.
"Haha...... I think it's more likely that he's going to hell! "William. Anderson's words are really hurtful.
"Whatever." Frank. James didn't care, yes, he's here to defect.
But is it that easy? Our cottage here in China or something, so you have to have a name, right?
"That's how you came? I don't have anything to eat here! "Sure enough, William. Anderson gave Frank a roll of his eyes.
"Good luck for you, good luck for you, good luck for me, on the way here, I saw a procession, as if it was a grain convoy of the American Empire army that had recently entered Texas, if we ...... it" It turns out that this Frank. James came prepared.
"Why should I trust you?" William. Anderson, this guy is wary.
"Hah!" That Frank. James smiled, "I'm not God, I can't create that convoy again, you just have to follow me, you can see at a glance, if you don't go, then I'll go to someone else." ”
That's right, as long as you see that convoy, isn't that it? Taken by William. The robbery experience of the Anderson team, as long as you look at it, you can naturally determine whether it can be robbed or not.
In other words, the key to this robbery is how to find such a convoy in the vast land of Texas. James provided this information.
"Are you so sure?"
"Mr. Anderson, I can swear by my brother's life!"
That's all said, William. What else did Anderson hesitate about? Besides, as soon as the situation is not good, everyone will run!
Texas is also a place that is easy to run, the territory is vast, and you can gallop across the country with horses......
It didn't take long for Bloody Bill to find a gang of people, and that Frank. James led him to a small hill, and at the bottom of the hill there was a considerable number of carts and quite a few people, and from the ruts, it was evident that there was something in it.
And now, the guys, the people of the American Empire, seemed to be resting, sitting in a heap in twos and threes, and preparing to light a fire and cook.
What a chance!
"Brothers!" That William. What else does Anderson total?
"Woo-la-la!"
"Haha!"
Without any orders, this gang rushed up directly, they had more than 70 people, that is, more than 70 horses, this rushed down from the hillside, it was really spectacular, and a lot of smoke and dust were brought up.
"......" that Frank. James followed at first, but before he had gone far, he fell off his horse as if he had not done it well, but in fact, the horse was still very slow......
Bloody Bill didn't care about the idiot, but suddenly he heard a strange noise.
Buzz Buzz...... Followed by!
Sudden Sudden Rush! Sudden Sudden Rush!
If you have seen the troops of the American Empire, you will be able to hear that this is the sound of the Gatling gun...... (To be continued......)
