Django stared at the two of them, as if he understood that there would be a parting.

He knew very well the identities of Russell and Schultz, and it could be seen from the bright side that they would not stay with him for a long time, let alone gamble for the freedom of black slaves for life!

It's not worth it, it's not realistic.

In the eyes of the awakened black slaves, they were aliens; In the eyes of white people, they are still outliers......

The aliens themselves will be rejected by the world, so they will inevitably return to their comfort zone and spend the rest of their lives in peace.

Now that Django has made his choice, it is impossible for him to escape or retreat, otherwise the ideal free black country will not exist! If you give it a shot now, you might really succeed......

Who can say for sure what the future holds?

During the night, Russell took out the drink, and Hilda cooked some food as an accompaniment to the drink.

The three of them sat outside the tent and began to drink, surrounded by four black guards, and there were sentinel handles at the main intersections and on the top of the hill.

"Django, what you need to be careful about is not to blindly pursue numbers, but to ensure that the soldiers are well fed and clothed. To improve their combat effectiveness and battlefield adaptability, it is best to train a few commanders like you, which requires flexibility. ”

Django nodded.

Russell continued: "Secondly, you have only a few hundred men, and you can't go head-to-head with the American army, so you have to find a garrison, and I suggest that you go into the mountains and penetrate deep into Washington...... It's a train of thought, you can't do it right away, you have to wait for time. Look at this newspaper with a character who was a pro-slave Lincoln, a guest who supported the abolition of slavery, if he became president......"

"Django, your good days are coming."

--

That night, Russell told Django a lot of things, whether he remembered them or not.

From military to material, the most important thing is to set the 'marching principle', that is, the enemy comes and runs, and the enemy leaves to disturb......

The reason why Django didn't talk about 'guerrilla' was because Django didn't understand too profound things, which were enough for him to digest for a while.

It wasn't until the sky lit up that Russell and Schultz straightened up, and Django was reluctant to say goodbye to the two.

Russell got on his horse and Django got into the carriage.

Many people in the camp watched the three of them, but no one knew what kind of feelings the three of them felt.

"Django, a word of advice. If you can keep the Chinese workers and treat them well, then they will be a powerful help to you, but you also need to ask their opinions to help them survive in the United States. ”

】

Django nodded heavily, "I will." ”

"You will, it doesn't mean that other people will, human thinking is diverse, you can't control other people's thoughts, just as others can't stop you from being free."

"Understood."

"Let's go, I'll stay at Gatlinburg Manor until December, and then I'll be back to the East by boat."

"You're not going to stay in America?"

"Yes, but I need your help."

Russell sat on the horse and bent down to pat him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "As long as you can avoid the pursuit of the army, then you will be noticed by Washington, and Lincoln will pay attention to you at that time......"

"Well, thank you, my mentor and friend."

"Goodbye."

Django turned his head and waved: "Schultz, goodbye!" If you are not returning to Germany, you are always welcome to visit. ”

Schultz laughed: "I'm afraid that when I come as a guest, your people will kill me like white garbage." Django, goodbye! ”

"Goodbye!"

Russell drove his horse forward, and Schultz followed behind in his car.

Django and Hilda stood in place cuddling in their arms and watched the two of them leave until they disappeared.

He whispered, "It's up to us next." ”

"I believe in you."

Django smiled bitterly: "It's not that simple, the American army has cannons and the latest muskets...... However, Bruce laid out the route for me to march, and we fought all the way from Spartanburg to the mountains, gathering supplies and training our troops. ”

--

Traveling all the way from Spartanburg to the edge of Greenville, Russell and Schultz did not choose to enter town.

At the beginning of the uprising, the Free Negro Army was bound to do something big, and nearly half of the whites in Greenville were killed, and the remaining whites fled to the distant mountains and forests in the dark, or hid in the kilns.

However, their wealth has been robbed by blacks, and it will take some time to restore their homes.

Russell was not prepared to approach these remnants of whites because he could not see the suffering, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he was recognized?

Schultz suggested crossing the Mississippi River and heading back to Texas, and the bounty for the wanted criminals was not abandoned, after all, they had gained a lot during this time.

"Bruce, what do you think is going to do in America? In addition to being a bounty hunter and farmer. ”

Russell said leisurely: "Capital, as long as you become capital, your life path will be much smoother, and obstacles on the road will automatically give way when you see your identity." Zhengke is also the hope of survival, no matter where it is, in any country, power and wealth are crucial, and connections are not so important in troubled times. ”

"Why?"

"It's very simple, because people are selfish and do things with a purpose. And the interests that both sides value together will become the fuse for a big fight, and eventually both sides will be buried in explosives with their interests. ”

"Well, you're right...... I'm going to run for House of Representatives in Gatlinburg. ”

Russell turned his head: "Are you really ready to go to justice?" ”

"Yes, I've figured it out. Muskets and cannons can't destroy hidden enemies, only secluded battlefields have a chance to reveal their prototypes. ”

"I respect your choice, and Zhengke is not as terrible as you think. I can tell you that the most direct way to deal with the main customers is to grab their handles, then pinch them in your hands and choke them to death! And you need to be careful not to give your handle to others, except in the case of life and death. ”

Schultz was surprised and said, "Bruce, are you ...... Oh no. If you're not a Cicaso, I'm surprised that you used to be an official in the Land of the East. You have stated the central idea and code of conduct of the Zanzheng! ”

"Haha......"

Russell laughed.

In 1858, when the United States was still in the midst of colonization and westward expansion, many of the old families of the West were moving to the United States, and the first thing they did was to gain wealth and squeeze into politics.

Only by understanding this continent can there be any hope of survival.

Citizen? They are merely fertilizers in the New World, like hundreds of millions of Indians, who choose to go into the soil in useless moments to nourish the seeds and germinate......

One stubble after another, new varieties are constantly emerging.

These new varieties were born and raised here, and naturally think that this is their home, and they have a sense of belonging and pride.

But in Russell's view, these new varieties that have been cultivated are at best a group of ignorant and uneducated rotten seeds!

"Bruce, what are you going to do? If you're willing to work in the United States, then I'm sure you'll be a great person and maybe get into Washington......"

Before Schultz's words were finished, Russell shook his head and said: "Impossible, I am not ready to contribute anything to this country, it has never been possible from beginning to end, my kindness is all due to my selfishness." Schultz, don't think of me as a philanthropist for all living beings, I don't have such a good heart. ”

The two chatted all the way, stopped to rest when they were tired, and set up a tent to sleep in the evening.

Half a month later, Russell and Schultz returned to their Gatlinburg estate in Texas.

When Linda and Selina saw Russell, they were so excited that they seemed to be broken, and they stumbled on their legs and feet in place, and finally fell into Russell's arms.

The black men who were farming were smiling, and it had to be said that their lives had changed dramatically since the owner of Bruce took control of the plantation.

Originally, the black slaves lived in dilapidated wooden houses, without even a wooden bed, and a dozen people were crammed together.

And now, the four of them in one room, or the husband and wife sleep in the same room, which has been greatly improved.

So even if Russell was not on the manor, the black slaves did not escape, after all, such kind masters are not easy to find.

Besides, if they run out, they will definitely be caught by bounty hunters or Zhengfu, or they will be caught by slave traders and sent to the auction house...... Fate remains.

If you can't change it, why not accept it?

This damn life is like a gorgeous and handsome girl, attracting people to yearn for it...... But this damn life is actually a whore who asks for fucking money for everything!

"Send someone to serve Schultz to wash, we haven't bathed in many days."

Schultz hurriedly refused: "No, I don't need to be served, just help me fill the bathtub with water." ”

Russell smiled: "Listen to him, go ahead." ”

"Okay."

Linda smiled and made arrangements, while Russell and Schultz sat on the couch.

They looked at each other, and Schultz sighed: "The life of a rich person is indeed full of fun, and it is no wonder that most people spend their lives running for money." ”

Russell pointed to the candy on the table and said: "Since human beings invented money, this world is destined to be a reality, and everything or goods that require labor need to be exchanged for money, which is the root." ”

"Yes, everything needs money to settle."

Schultz nodded: "...... How about I run for mayor first? ”

"Absolutely, don't take too big a step. Maybe in the future, you think the mayor is very good, and the governor is average. ”

"That's right, each stage has different ideas, and I'm just just moving from idealism to reality and haven't adapted yet."

Russell laughed and said, "You're adapting very quickly now." ”

In the evening, Schultz went back to his room to wash up, while Russell entered the bathroom with the help of Linda and Selena.

There is warm water in the bathtub, and there are aromatherapy and perfumes and a change of clothes on the shelves next to it......

Selina gently wiped his palms, and Linda cut her nails......

Soon, the temperature was slightly warmer and the water was splashing.

A week later, Schultz was officially included in the mayoral race list, and he and Russell went to visit the sheriff, and then, organized by the sheriff, held a street parade speech.

In just two months, Schultz became mayor of Gatlinburg and doubled as a sheriff.

And the previous magistrate went to the municipal government. How to get there? The performance is up to standard, the work ability is outstanding, and then hand over some money!

Russell spent this time wandering around the plantation, fishing and hunting on weekdays, exchanging ideas with Linda and Selena.

He didn't teach the blacks how to grow cotton, anyway, it would be out in two months, and what to do in wasting time instead of doing something fun and taking it as a vacation.

In the afternoon of this day, Schultz hurried on horseback.

Brought news of Django.

The two took their seats in the study, and Linda took the tea and withdrew.

"Django's army has expanded to 2,000 men, but there is a serious shortage of weapons and supplies, and he lost more than 400 men when he was pursued by the American army a week ago! Django then led the men into the Appalachian Mountains, and the American army tried to go in and kill them in one fell swoop, but Django disappeared after entering. ”

Russell grabbed Schultz's gathering intelligence and glanced at it.

After he and Schultz left, Django continued north from Spartanburg, attacking Columbus County, Asheville, and Marion. Then it headed for Sikri again...... Finally defeated the great slave owners of Astonia!

Django's team has also grown from more than 500 people to a large force of more than 2,000 people.

"Bruce, what do you think? Does Django die? ”

Russell said with a cigarette in his mouth: "We will all die, but in different ways." He didn't go into the mountains after we left and definitely followed our advice. Django first sent people to explore the mountains and then build houses and camps, while he continued to smash and loot with the rest of the men, and in order to spread the momentum, he would do whatever it took to defeat the great slave owners of Astonia......"

Schultz nodded: "Yes, all this is your arrangement." ”

"So, rest assured, Django will be fine for a short time. Mr. Lincoln in Washington also noticed him, otherwise the army would not have dared them into the mountains. ”

Schultz seems to get it.

Although the current strength of the American army is not very good, it is still very easy to fight a black army, obviously artillery and cavalry can block Django's retreat route, why not block it?

Instead, he watched Django enter the mountains with the black legions, and the army only glanced at the edge of the mountains for a few moments, and stayed at the bottom of the mountains.

What does that mean exactly? Smart people can see it at a glance.

"Now that Lincoln noticed them, Django's future is hard to say. He could be a general, or he could be a rebel......"

Schultz let out a long sigh and said, "This is Masaji. ”

December 21, 1858.

On this day, in the evening, the glow is charming.

Russell sat under the porch of the courtyard and looked at the colorful clouds, and turned his head to look at Linda and Selena who were busy in the room.

These two women are dead set on him, but a maid is a maid, and the surprise of identity is like reincarnation, and the result has long been doomed.

He got up and took out a handwritten letter from his bosom and placed it on a chair.

Russell whistled at the stable, and the next moment a swarthy steed came out, and he jumped down and rode on horseback, and ran towards the gate of the manor......

'Dilute Boil~'

It was not uncommon for the people in the villa to hear the voice, look sideways, and see the master riding away.

It wasn't until Linda saw the letter in her chair that she screamed in horror, as if she had lost her heart.

"The master has returned home...... We're going to Mr. Schultz. ”

"Is Mr. Schultz our new master?"

"No, Mr. Bruce has given us back the Covenant of Freedom, and we can go anywhere in America."

"But ......"

The next day, Schultz came to the manor.

He looked at the contents of the letter and said, "If you want to live here, it's Bruce's people." With my relationship with Bruce, you can rest assured. ”

"I'm willing to stay, I'm going to wait for Bruce to come back." Linda said with a teary eye.

Schultz smiled wryly when he heard this, and he knew that Russell probably wouldn't come back, otherwise he wouldn't have left a letter.

Town of Dotri.

Russell had a beer at the tavern here, and the boss saw that it was an acquaintance, and he was so frightened that he almost went to the sheriff.

But in the end, attracted by money, the boss succumbed.

He sat by the window, looked at the hazy night, and silently said, "Return." ”
