1840 Indian Rebirth

Chapter 134 [Do you want to fight guerrilla warfare? 】

"Peace negotiations?" Hearing this news, most Mexican soldiers were puzzled.

"When did this happen?"

"Did we surrender? Or did the Americans surrender?"

Amijo went on to declare: "No one surrendered, we just reached a settlement, and the war is over."

Compared with most people, Chavez's reaction was very intense, his face seemed to be on fire, and he walked up to his uncle aggressively: "Peace negotiation, you didn't tell me at all!"

Amijo subconsciously weakened, but then he raised his voice: "I am the governor of New Mexico and your uncle. I don't need to discuss with you about my decisions!"

Chavez was speechless, clenching his fists and being speechless.

Amijo was right.

He was the governor of a state, and Chavez was just a militia chief and his nephew.

In any case, Chavez had no right to interfere with Amijo's decision.

Amijo looked away from the speechless Chavez: "Soldiers, put away your weapons, General Carney is our guest now, and I will receive him in Santa Fe."

The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, but finally chose to obey the governor's order.

Most officers made the same choice, asking their soldiers to put away their weapons.

"You surrendered to Carney?" Chavez widened his eyes.

Amijo stammered: "It's reconciliation, reconciliation, not surrender."

"Then why let the U.S. military enter the city?" Chavez asked again.

"Because... because they are not our enemies now." Amijo hesitated.

Chavez was short of breath, pointed at his uncle's nose and said, "You are clearly surrendering!"

Amijo became a little annoyed: "Chavez, you have no right to point at me!"

At the same time, the US military on the other side also started to move.General Carney led many soldiers towards the canyon in a tight formation, but it was obviously not in an attacking posture.

Seeing this, Amiqiao immediately ordered: "Everyone spread out, let General Carney pass through here!"

Some soldiers chose to disperse, others hesitated, and instead of following the governor's order directly, many set their sights on Chavez, hoping to get another order from Chavez.

Chavez said loudly: "Surrender is not allowed, take up your weapons and prepare to fight!"

Amijo and Chavez issued two diametrically opposed orders, and the soldiers were at a loss.

"I am your supreme officer, Governor Manuel Amijo of New Mexico!" Amijo's face was also full of anger. Although Chavez was his nephew, this public provocation of power still made him He was terribly annoyed.

"In the name of the supreme officer, I order you to disperse immediately and let General Carney pass through the canyon!" He emphasized again.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Get ready to fight!" Chavez shot directly into the sky, "We must not let the Americans pass through here!"

Amijo was furious: "Chavez, I declare that you are no longer the militia chief!"

Unexpectedly, however, Chavez pointed his gun directly at Amijo, and said coldly, "Let the soldiers fight."

Seeing his movements, some soldiers pointed their guns at him immediately: "Drop your weapons immediately, Chavez!"

Unmoved, Chavez still pointed his gun at his uncle: "Let the soldiers fight!"

"You..." Amijo's face turned blue and white, with fear and anger mixed together, "You are a traitor!"

"You're a traitor!" shouted Chavez. "You betrayed Mexico!"

"You arrogant and ignorant young man, you are leading Santa Fe to a dead end!" said Amijo. "If this war continues, what will there be but more casualties?"

He didn't mean to back down at all: "I am the governor of New Mexico, soldiers, you should obey my orders! Disperse immediately and let General Carney pass through the canyon!"

More soldiers chose to follow Amijo's orders.

Not only because of Amijo's emphasis, but also because of Chavez's actions.As a soldier, pointing a gun at one's own officer is an act of treason anyway, not to mention that Chavez is Amijo's nephew.

Amijo looked directly at Chavez, and pointed the barrel of the gun at his forehead: "This bastard, self-righteous guy, if you want to shoot, then shoot! Shoot!"

Chavez was panting violently, his fingers almost pulled the trigger, sweat beaded on his face.

But in the end, he put down the gun and let out a long breath.

He did not choose to kill Amijo.

However, he did not intend to just surrender to the Americans, but turned around and said, "Who else is unwilling to surrender to the Americans, come with me!"

The soldiers looked at each other, and eventually hundreds of people came to Chavez: "Chavez, we are willing to follow you!"

"Chief Chavez, lead us to fight the Americans to the end!"

"That's right, fight to the end!"

Chavez looked at these soldiers, took a deep breath, and then rode on his horse: "Let's go, let's go to Taos City first."

Hundreds of soldiers followed Chavez out of the canyon, headed for the city of Taos in the north, and disappeared from people's sight after a while.

After Chavez led his men away, General Carney's team also arrived in the canyon, accompanied by Charles Bent.

He looked at Amijo and smiled slightly: "Mr. Amijo, you made a wise choice, welcome to join the United States."

……

After about a month.

A detachment of Mexican cavalry appeared from the southwest outside Sleeping Bear. There were almost 500 of them, each armed with two Browning revolvers.

This is exactly Chavez's team.

"Who are you guys?" The guards of Sleeping Bear City immediately stopped their way and asked.

"I am Manuel Chavez of Santa Fe, tell your chiefs that I wish to purchase some more weapons," Chavez asked for an interpreter.

Not long after, Mashao brought some people out of Sleeping Bear City.

"Long time no see, Mr. Chavez." The horse whistle looked at Chavez a little bit, "I seem to have heard that the city of Santa Fe already belongs to the United States?"

Chavez was silent for a moment: "Maybe, but some people don't think so, at least I don't think so."

The horse whistle nodded and looked at the cavalry behind Chavez: "It can be seen that they want to follow you and fight the Americans to the end. I admire your courage."

"Thank you," said Chavez. "We came to Sleeping Bear this time to buy some more weapons. I mean the Browning revolver."

"Aren't your existing weapons enough?" Horse Whistle asked casually.

"It's enough for the soldiers. But it's not enough for the people," Chavez said.

"What do you mean?"

"I intend to lead Mexicans everywhere in a sporadic but ongoing confrontation with the U.S. military," Chavez explained.

The horse whistle changed his expression: "Do you want to fight guerrilla warfare?"
