Throughout May, the North American continent was flooded like ants.

The Indians to the north were moving south in droves, and the Mexicans to the south were dying in large numbers.

The vast west has almost suddenly become a no-man's land, with bison, pikas, brown sheep...... A species that has been rare for nearly a hundred years, taking advantage of this short gap in time, I don't know where it came from, after a heavy rain, it grows wildly.

Mexico City in the south is still thriving, but less than 10 miles outside of Mexico City is the world of plants and animals, from which it seems as if humans have disappeared, and only when the wind blows through the soft green grass tips, you can occasionally see snow-white bones - in fact, even within 10 miles of Mexico City, it is difficult to believe that this is a human world. The slums of the 19th century can probably only be described by the word 'hell'.

It took only half a year for the Mexican people to go from welcoming this war, to hating it, to being buried in the ground and no longer expressing their opinions, and they didn't even have a chance to regret it!

Only the eastern part of the Americas is still singing and dancing!

……

Jefferson Hamilton Davis boarded a slave ship and it took a week to get back to New York from the port of Veracruz.

Mexican supply ships by sea will not be able to arrive anytime soon, but leaving Mexico by ship is not too much of a problem.

Davis arrived in New York late at night.

In the middle of the 19th century, New York had a lot of nightlife.

It may not be enough to catch up with the quirky aristocratic salons of London and Paris, but the Broadway singing and dancing and lights are also sleepless. New Yorkers from far and wide follow the example of faraway Europeans, chasing trends, but always one step behind.

It's like the Matt Killer guy in the rural-urban area, you can't say it's not fashionable, but it does have a bit of that.

It was not until more than half a century later, when the United States as a whole was on top of the world, that New York could break away from its status as a rural-urban area and become the capital of the world.

At that time, the young people who kill Matt will no longer have to chase the trend, they themselves will be the trend.

Jefferson Davis asked people to look for the carriage, but after several questions in a row, no one wanted to run to Washington at this time, and it would have to wait until dawn tomorrow at the earliest.

Jefferson Davis then made a trip down Broadway and found a socialite for $150 who brought her own carriage.

By the time the carriage arrived in Washington, it was still dark, and after sending the socialite back, Davis went straight to see his father-in-law, Zachary Taylor, a former Democratic member and now the leader of the Whig Party.

Taylor did not expect the sudden arrival of his son-in-law at all.

As soon as the two met, Zachary Taylor gave him a slap in the face.

"Davis, you gn raised! At this time, you should fight well in Mexico! I don't want you to take any military feats, but you have to keep an eye on Winfield, this old bastard for me! What are you doing here? It's messy enough! ”

"Did you receive the letter I wrote to you?" Davis asked.

"I got it, so what?"

"Mr. Taylor, Mexico is now a living hell. The Indians carried out wanton massacres and looting in Mexico, with corpses everywhere and gunfire everywhere......," Davis said.

"Anyway, you shouldn't have come back at this time!" Zachary Taylor said:

"The situation in Mexico was simply terrible, and it got even worse when I left Veracruz. Especially after the bombing of the port of New Orleans, the food in Mexico City could only last for three weeks at most, or even less—"

"Three weeks?" Zachary Taylor looked at Davis in disbelief: "When I left, I left you with enough food to feed you for more than half a year, why is there only three weeks of food left now?" Isn't there 100,000 soldiers but 100,000 pigs in Mexico City? Even 100,000 pigs can be eaten for at least three months! ”

"It's hard to put into words, Mr. Taylor!" "The waste of the soldiers is one thing, and the Indians burning down the granaries are another, but the most important thing is that Mexican President Santa Ana has a large group of legislators and passed a 'grain trade law' that advocates selling grain when food prices are high now and buying them in the fall when grain prices are low—"

“fk！ fk！ fk！ Zachary Taylor burst into a rage, "I knew Winfield was an idiot!" He's an idiot! ”

Davis continued, "It was only later that we found out that the Rio Grande had sold the grain to the Indians at a higher price—"

“fk！ What about you? Didn't you do anything? Winfield is an idiot, are you an idiot too? Didn't I put you in charge of the logistics of the whole army, just to let you hold Winfield and tell him not to do stupid things? ”

Davis lowered his head, sighed, and said, "The price of food was indeed very high at that time...... And we do have a lot of food – I thought we would sell a small portion of it and make a pretty big profit......"

"And then you all sold them, didn't you?" Zachary Taylor said: "I knew it was going to happen! This kind of thing, once the opening is opened, where can the car be braked? You don't think it matters much to sell 10 tons, and your men dare to sell 20 tons, and when the actual transaction comes, it becomes 200 tons - Davis, you're too young, too young! ”

Davis hung his head, somewhat speechless.

After a while, Zachary Taylor sneered and said, "And then you ran back alone, leaving all the money for Winfield, right?" ”

Davis looked up and said, "When I left Veracruz, not only was there running out of food in Mexico City, but William Sherman had also suffered a big defeat in the Alamo, with at least 20,000 soldiers...... No ......."

Zachary Taylor's figure froze for a moment, then asked, "What did you say?" ”

Davis took a deep breath and said, "William Sherman was defeated at the Alamo, losing 20,000 soldiers. ”

Zachary Taylor's mouth opened wide, frozen like a statue.

"What about Jackson? What about Thomas Jackson? ”

"General Jackson is trapped in Kopac, and for a moment there is no winner - but as I was leaving, I heard that the Tonatiu Regiment of the Indians was rushing to Kopac!"

"Where's McClellan?"

"His army is still in Los Angeles."

……

There was a loud "clang", and Zachary Taylor, who was still quite calm, flipped over the table, grabbed another chair and smashed it in all directions.

"Idiot! Idiot! It's all a bunch of idiots! ”

"Incompetent! Incompetent! ”

"If this country is put in their hands, sooner or later it will be finished! Sooner or later, it's going to be over! ”

Jefferson Davis was hiding in a corner, and he hadn't had a good night's sleep or a good meal since he had been back from Veracruz.

But none of this is anything compared to what is about to happen on the battlefield in Mexico.
