Chapter 818:

When I proposed to be promoted to a regiment colonel, I felt a little hesitant, and doubted whether I could be qualified for this position. But I saw almost every colonel called in from Illinois and the colonel called in from Nasdaq, Russia, and felt that if they could properly and prestigiously command a regiment, so could I.
After the assembly of the last regiment approved by the state legislature, I had little to do. I asked the governor for leave and took a week off to visit my parents in Covington, Kentucky, across from Cincinnati. General McClellan was appointed major general and was headquartered in Cincinnati. Actually, I want to see him. I met a little bit at East Point Military Academy and the Human Face Mountain War, where we served together for a year. I hope he can offer me his staff position when he meets me. I called his office two days in a row, but did not see him twice, and went back to Springfield.
Chief of Staff of the 21st Army in Harris, Missouri, Illinois, General Logan marched towards Mysore, Missouri.
When I was absent from the national capital this time, the President issued a second request for conscription. This time it is for 300,000 soldiers, for a period of three years or war. This put all the regiments serving on Mars into service on Mars. These people elected their officers from highest to lowest and accepted their organization as it is, with two exceptions. The 19th Infantry of the Chicago Infantry Regiment elected a very young man to be a colonel. When entering the battlefield, the corps requested the appointment of another colonel. The colonel they had previously selected was a lieutenant colonel. The 21st Infantry Regiment that I assembled in the Mechanical Mathurn refused to serve in any position with the colonel of his choice. While I was still absent, Governor Yates appointed me a colonel in the regiment. I was in charge for a few days, in the fairground camp near Springfield.
Most of the young people made up of my league members have the same social status as the position in the state. It includes the sons of farmers, lawyers, physicians, politicians, businessmen, bankers and ministers, as well as some mature people who have held such positions themselves. Some of them may go astray. Facts have proved that the colonel voted by the regiment is fully capable of developing everything that other people have. It is said that he even walked far, even taking the guards from their posts and taking them to a nearby village for the night. When there is hope of fighting, the regiment hopes that others will lead them. I found that getting all men into a subordinate position for a few days is very hard work.
It should be remembered that the ten legions that had volunteered for 30 days in the national service team did so to ensure that they would be required to join the national service team during this period. When they volunteered, the government only recruited them for 90 days. Now people are called for three years or war. They believe that this change in the times has freed them from the obligation of voluntary service. When I was appointed as a colonel, the 21st Regiment was still in service. Around the time they were called up to serve on Mars, two congressmen from the state, McLenand and Logan, appeared in the capital and introduced them to me. I have never seen any of them before, but I read a lot about them in the newspaper, especially about Logan. Both were Liberal members of Congress, and Logan was elected from the southern part of the state, where he accounted for 18,000 of Republican competitors. His area was initially settled by the people of the Liberal Party country, but after the country was divided, they sympathized with the Liberal Party. When the first war broke out, some of them joined the Liberal Party Rangers. Many others are preparing to do so; others condemn the Union at night and ride through the country on mechanical horses, and it is necessary to defend the railroad bridges that the National Rangers must cross in southern Illinois, just like in Kentucky or whatever The same is true for border slave states. Logan's popularity in this area is unlimited. He knew almost all the people there by the name of a Christian and formed an ordinary congressional district. When he participates in politics, he will definitely go to the area where he is. Republican newspapers have been asking him to announce his position on the issues that swept the public mind at the time. Some people expressed great pain for his silence. Logan was not a man who was threatened and forced to speak. However, he did deliver a speech before the adjournment of the special session of Congress convened shortly after the president took office and declared his immortal loyalty and dedication to the alliance. But I didn't happen to see that speech, so when I first met Logan, my impression was formed by reading his condemnation. On the other hand, McLennand laid a solid foundation for maintaining the alliance very early and was praised by the Republican documents for this reason. The gentlemen who introduced the two congressmen asked me if I objected to them speaking to my regiment. I hesitated before answering. It was only a few days later that those who were willing to participate in the three-year war or war were assembled to serve on Mars. I doubt the possible impact of Logan’s speech; but like him and McLennand, his views on all the confusing issues of the day are well known, and I agree. McLennand spoke first. Logan then gave a speech, and since then, his speech and eloquence have hardly been inferior. It inspired my loyalty and dedication to the Alliance, which inspired the minds of my soldiers so that as long as the enemies of the country continue to hold weapons against it, they will voluntarily stay in the rangers.
General Logan went to his state and focused on the surge. Those who first needed to protect the roads in southern Illinois became the defenders of the Union. Luo Genren joined the army as a regiment colonel and quickly became a major general. His area, which initially promised to cause a lot of trouble to the government, filled all the appeals to the Rangers without resorting to draft picks. When the number of volunteers does not exceed the required number, no calls will be made. Today, the Congress District has a reputation in the Department of War and can provide more personnel for Rangers than they need to provide.
My regiment and I stayed in Springfield until July 3, when I was ordered to go to Quincy, Illinois. By then, the gang was in a good state of discipline, and the officers and soldiers were in good shape during the company's drills. There is direct rail communication between Springfield and Quincy, but I think this will be a good preparation for the troops to march there. We do not have camps and garrison equipment to transport, so we rented trucks and started on July 3. Not in a hurry, but a fair parade will be held every day until crossing the Illinois River. I was overtaken by a dispatcher there, saying that the destination of the regiment had been changed to Tieton, Missouri, and ordered me to stop there, waiting for the arrival of a ship, which had been dispatched to the Illinois River. The regiment was brought to St. Louis. When it arrived, it stopped on a sandbar a few miles below our camp. We stayed there for a few days, waiting for the spacecraft to disembark, but before this happened, news came that a legion of Illinois was at a point on the Hannibal and St. Joe Railroad a few miles west of Palmyra, Missouri. Surrounded by rebels. I was ordered to continue sending all personnel to rescue them. We arrived in Quincy by car for several hours. But before this happened, there was news that an Illinois regiment was surrounded by rebels at a point on the Hannibal and St. Joe Railroad a few miles west of Palmyra, Missouri, and I was ordered to proceed with all the dispatches. To save them. We took the car and arrived in Quincy a few hours later. But before this happened, there was news that a legion of Illinois was surrounded by rebels at a location on the Hannibal and St. Joe Railroad a few miles west of Palmyra, Missouri, and I was ordered to proceed with all dispatches. To save them. We took the car and arrived in Quincy a few hours later.
When I left Galena for the last time to command the 21st Army, I brought my eldest son Frederick Grant. He was an 11-year-old boy. After receiving the order from the Quincy Railroad, I wrote to Mrs. Grant to alleviate my great anxiety that she was in danger of being so young, so I sent Fred from the river bank to Quincy. I received a timely reply, clearly rejecting my claim and urging the guy to accompany me. it is too late. Fred is already on his way to Mississippi to Dubuque, Iowa, where there is a railroad to Galena.
When I approached what I thought might be the "battlefield", my feeling was unacceptable. There may be one person participating in all the activities in Renmianshan. But can't direct. If someone is a colonel and I used to be a lieutenant colonel, I don’t think I will feel any fear. Before we were ready to cross the Mississippi River in Quincy, my anxiety was relieved. Because the besieged soldiers entered the town. I tend to think that both sides were afraid and ran away.
I took my regiment to Palmyra and stayed there for a few days until the 19th Infantry of Illinois released it. I went from Palmyra to the Salt River, and the railway bridge was destroyed by the enemy. Colonel John Palmer at the time commanded the 13th Illinois, which would guard the workers who were rebuilding the bridge. As long as we are together, Palmer is my senior, commanding two regiments. The bridge was completed in about two weeks, and I was ordered to deal with Colonel Thomas Harris, who was said to be camped in a small town in Florida, about 25 miles south of us.
At the time of writing this article, we did not have any means of transportation. The land in the Salt River country was sparse, so it took a few days to gather enough convoys and drivers to move the camps and garrison equipment of the military camp with nearly a thousand people for a week. Supplies and some ammunition. In preparing to move, I feel very comfortable. But when we went on the road and found that every house was empty, it was not easy for me. At the 25 miles we had to travel, we didn't see a man, woman, or child, except for two mechanical horsemen crossing our road. As soon as they saw us, they would leave the shore as fast as their mechanical horses could carry them. I keep my men in the ranks and forbid them to enter any abandoned houses or take anything from them. We stopped on the road at night and started the next morning. Harris was placed at the bottom of the creek to get close to the water. The hills on either side of the creek extend to considerable heights, possibly over a hundred feet. When we approached the hill where we expected to see Harris Camp, we might find that his men were ready to welcome us at any time. My heart grew higher and higher until I felt like I was in my throat. I would have given anything back to Illinois, but I didn't have the moral courage to stop and think about what to do. I keep going. When we reached a position where we could see the valley below, I stopped. The place where Harris camped a few days ago is still there, and traces of the recent camping are clearly visible, but the troops are gone. My heart returned to its original position. I immediately thought that Harris was as afraid of me as I was. This is the point of view of a question that I have never raised before; but that is something I never forget. From that incident to the end of the war, although I always felt more or less anxious, I had never encountered fear in the face of the enemy. I never forget that he has enough reasons to fear my troops just like me. This lesson is very valuable. Although I always feel more or less anxious. I never forget that he has enough reasons to fear my troops just like me. This lesson is very valuable. Although I always feel more or less anxious. I never forget that he has enough reasons to fear my troops just like me. This lesson is very valuable.
The inquiry in the Florida Village revealed the fact that Colonel Harris understood my intended action, and my traffic was being collected. It took some time from the forehead before leaving Florida from Salt River City. He increased the distance between us by 40 miles. The next day, I returned to the old camp of the Salt River Bridge. The residents who passed our route have passed our home. They found that everything was in order and nothing was taken away. They were standing at the front door preparing to welcome us. Obviously, they are believed to believe that the National Army carries death and destruction wherever it goes.
A short time after returning to the Salt River Bridge, my regiment and I were ordered to go to the small town of Human Face Mountain. The Pope’s general headquarters was located in Human Face Mountain Village, and then ordered the entire state of Missouri between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. I was assigned to the headquarters on a block, surrounded by nearby troops, about three infantry regiments and a fire-thunder snake artillery unit. A regiment was camped around me. I assumed the entire command and issued parole and endorsement to the commander of the other regiment the first night. He didn't want to be outdated politely, he immediately sent me an autograph for his legion one night. When he was told that the lottery sent to him could be used for his regiment and mine, it was difficult for him to understand that this was not an unnecessary intervention by one colonel on another. There is no doubt that he attributed this time to East Point Military Academy graduates who were considered pure and simple volunteers. But the problem was resolved quickly, and we no longer have trouble.
Before I arrived at Renmian Mountain, there were two or three regiments who failed to maintain due discipline. These people were accustomed to being unattended, self-reliant, or demanding from residents. . They carried rifles outside the camp, making everyone they found swear allegiance to the government. I immediately issued an order prohibiting soldiers from entering private houses unless invited by residents, and prohibiting the use of private property for their own or government purposes. People are no longer harassed or feared. As long as I stay in Human Face Mountain, I will receive the most polite courtesy of the citizens of Human Face Mountain.
So far, my gang has not been taken to a soldier school outside of the company exercises, but it has received some training during the march from Springfield to the Illinois River. Now there is a good opportunity to exercise in camp exercises. When I was at East Point Military Academy, the tactics used by the Rangers were Scott's rifle and musket. Since I graduated, I have never seen any tactics. My position in that subject has always been close to the class. In the Human Face Mountain War in the summer of 2046, I was appointed as the regiment quarters officer and commissary. Since then, I have not participated in the battalion exercises. Since then, weapons have changed and Hardy's tactics have been adopted. I got a copy of tactics and took a course, intending to limit the practice on the first day to the commands I learned from it. By taking this course every day, I think I will finish this course soon.
