America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 270 Geronimo Can't Die

Asuka was out of breath, his face was covered with dust, it was obvious that he had just returned from a long trip outside the town.

"Sit." Chen Jianqiu calmly picked up the wine glass and pointed to the chair beside him.

Asuka sat down.

"Then you talk?" Browning also drank a lot, and his face was flushed at the moment.

He hiccupped, picked up the hat on the table, and was about to get up and go out.

"It's okay, let's sit down and listen together." Chen Jianqiu didn't care about Browning's presence at all, and he sent a sincere invitation.

So Browning sat down again.

"Boss, add another wine glass, add another jug ​​of wine, and cut two catties of beef." Chen Jianqiu shouted to the back of the counter.

It was mid-afternoon at this time, and there was no one at the table except Chen Jianqiu.

"Okay!" The boss's head popped out from the counter, he ran into the back kitchen, and after a while, trotted out with beef and wine.

Chen Jianqiu signaled him to put his things down: "Go to the back kitchen and rest, I will call you when you pay the bill."

The boss nodded repeatedly.

He still trotted and ran towards the inside of the house.

Asuka lifted the wine jug on the table, put his mouth to the mouth of the wine jug, and raised his neck.

A stream of transparent liquid flowed out along the mouth of the jug, formed an arc, and entered his mouth.

Browning was dumbfounded by this move.

Can this wine be drunk like this?

However, Chen Jianqiu knew that when Adam was still in the team, the only one who was willing to have a few sips with him was this little Indian brother besides himself.

After taking a big gulp, Asuka wiped his mouth: "I'm thirsty."

"Any news about Geronimo?" Chen Jianqiu picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth.

"Well, but he's not in a good condition right now." Asuka used chopsticks to match Browning half a catty, but he directly poked into the beef with chopsticks, skewered it and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Ah."

In this situation, when the two separated, Chen Jianqiu had already expected it.

In previous years, ruling Republicans had pulled most federal troops out of the southern states in exchange for Democratic support in Congress.

However, New Mexico is different from Arizona, firstly as a border area, and secondly because the Indians in the territory are always restless.

There is always a federal army stationed here.

Crook is their leader.

However, as long as he doesn't openly confront the government, Crook won't trouble him for the time being.

Geronimo was different.

Indians have an obsession with their homeland and freedom. Most importantly, they don't have any space or ability to survive.

There is no suitable land for them to cultivate, and they can't graze, let alone engage in industry and handicraft.

So, both sides are endless.

"He joined forces with two other Apache tribes to attack settlements on the New Mexico-Texas border," Asuka said.

"Well, that's their former land." Chen Jianqiu nodded.

"But not long ago, Crook led a cavalry team and divided them." Asuka continued, "The station of Geronimo and his allies was discovered.

"They fought in the Mesilla Valley," and Geronimo and them suffered heavy losses. "

Chen Jianqiu stopped the chopsticks in his hand.

"Are they dead?" His face was a little dignified.

"No, they fought and retreated." Asuka stuffed the last piece of beef on the plate into his mouth, "I don't know what Crook's thoughts are, every time he catches up with Geronimo, he won't go down." Dead hand."

"They will only kill some people, let the Indians continue to run, and then outflank, catch up, and kill some people." Asuka managed to describe it in his own words.

"A guy who raises his own self-respect."

To be honest, among the American generals that Chen Jianqiu knew, Crook was really one of the few sloppy ones.

He was always teasing the Indians like a cat catching a mouse.

Chen Jianqiu has always felt that if it wasn't for the growing national power of the United States and the discord among the Indian tribes, Crook's style of work would kill him sooner or later.

"Have you seen Geronimo?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

"No, but I saw Lozen a week ago." Asuka said, "She brought some people to support Geronimo."

"The camp at the mine is still there, and scattered Apache Indians continue to go there, but Geronimo dare not go back there, fearing that the US military will be drawn there."

"Browning, tell me, if we sell another batch of weapons to Geronimo and the others, is there any trouble? Eh? Why did you fall?"

Chen Jianqiu just wanted to discuss with Browning, but found that this guy was lying on the table, not sure if he was really drunk or fake.

He shook Browning's shoulder with his hand, but there was no movement at all.

In fact, Browning didn't care that the weapons he designed appeared in the hands of Indians. He just felt that selling them to these Indians might not necessarily cover the cost.

What do they pay for?Go hunting?

But he also knew the relationship between Geronimo and Chen Jianqiu, so this answer was not appropriate, so he simply lay down and pretended to be dead.

"Asuka, go find Geronimo again and see if you can meet him." Chen Jianqiu said to Asuka, "If Crook doesn't kill him, maybe there is still a chance to fight guerrillas."

Asuka took the lead and was about to get up and leave.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside the door. .

Chen Jianqiu yelled again to the back room: "Boss, cut another two catties of beef! Pour a bowl of water."

The sound of hooves stopped outside the door.

A disheveled Indian rushed in.

As soon as he entered the door and saw Chen Jianqiu, he seemed to have collapsed and was about to collapse.

However, a hand supported him.

His body and face were covered with dust, his shoulders were wounded, the scabs were not yet hardened, and his hands were still stained with blood.

"Bring another basin of water." Chen Jianqiu shouted again to the back room.

The shop owner was as busy as a spinning top, and brought out a basin of water with a piece of cloth on the side of the basin.

Browning stopped pretending to be asleep, stood up and helped the Indian to the edge of the table.

After some cleaning, Chen Jianqiu recognized that this Indian boy was a soldier who was with Geronimo before, and he had come to Roswell with them before.

He knows a little English, but not much.

"Heavenly brave, chief, it's dangerous." The Indian boy panted and said.

"Don't panic, eat some, and speak slowly." Chen Jianqiu stabilized the young man's emotions, and pushed the bowl of water and beef on the table in front of him.

But the young man couldn't care less about eating, he finally explained the current situation to Chen Jianqiu with gestures.

Crook, it seems that this time he really killed him.

He sent cavalry to block Geronimo and two other tribes in a valley, where he was going to get rid of these Indians.

The continuous attacks on the state border during this period made the governor of New Mexico and Scott behind him very dissatisfied. He complained to the federal government about Crook's behavior.

This made Crook's position no longer secure.

At the same time, the two tribes also moved their minds, and they wanted to make peace with Crook alone.

Therefore, Geronimo's situation is very dangerous. There are only about [-] people around him, including those who came to support from the mining camp later.

He had no choice but to send this Indian boy to run out in the dark to Roswell to ask Chen Jianqiu for help.

Chen Jianqiu thought for a while, then stood up.

He picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp. At the same time, he took out some money from his pocket and threw it on the table.

"Boss, check out!"

He has made a decision.

The banner of Indian resistance on the border of New Mexico cannot be overthrown, and Chen Jianqiu cannot tolerate a long-term stable New Mexico.

Not to mention his friendship with the chief.

No matter from which point of view,

Geronimo, cannot die, he must live.
