Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2131 Flower Chapter (thirty-nine)

   Bonaparte left the cabin abruptly, and just when she thought he was going to rage about the "ship" again, he came back with a map and put it on the table.

   "How can you have this?" she asked in surprise.

   "Have you forgotten Cassini's triangulation?" Bonaparte looked at the map and said without raising his head, "They also recruited a lot of our people, using the trapezoidal projection."

  Georgianna looked at the map in front of her. It was the "Overview of the Imperial Court" drawn during the Kangxi period. The point of what Bonaparte said just now is that Kangxi hired someone to recruit the map drawn by French cartographers in the past, but they used a surveying and mapping method that had been eliminated by France, and it was precisely because of this talent that it was so easy to recruit.

But even so, it looks like a modern map. Not only can you clearly see the Bohai Sea and North Korea, but also the latitude and longitude. The latitude starts from the equator and draws a latitude every 30 degrees, while the longitude is BJ started counting.

   "What are you doing with this?" she asked a little frightened.

   "Have you ever wondered why the Qing court prohibited the transportation of grain from Jiangnan to Liuhe?" Bonaparte asked while looking at the map.

   "No." She answered honestly.

   He looked for it, but couldn't find his baton, then he found a pencil and pointed to "Tianjin".

"Saint-Jean-Arc is also a seaside city, and it has very important strategic significance. Similarly, this city is not only an estuary to the sea, but also a hub for a canal, as well as this place." Bonaparte pointed his pen to "Tongzhou" ".

   "The most important thing in the siege battle is food. If these two places are occupied, the food will not be able to be transported to B***J, and it will be self-destructed without siege."

   "The BJ defenders will not sit still, they will send troops to retake these two places." Georgiana said.

"You idiot, what I'm telling you is why it is forbidden to ship grain from Jiangnan to Liuhe. The purpose of this is to protect Tianjin and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal." Bonaparte said, "The northern section of the Grand Canal should have prospered after the Yuan Dynasty. When I got up, I remember that the capital of the Song Dynasty was in Hangzhou."

   "It was in Bianliang during the Southern Song and Northern Song Dynasties, where Bao Zheng's Yamen was located," said Georgiana.

"This is the way you British people often use to starve others." Bonaparte didn't seem to hear what she said, and said maliciously, "The Qing court is trying to control these merchant ships in the south of the Yangtze River, so that there is no need to worry about pirates mixing in. To attack Tianjin, we must also keep the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal open, and prohibit sailors from forming associations.”

   "What if pirates attack along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal from the Yellow Sea?" asked Georgiana.

   "It depends on how the Qing court defended the coast. Do you want to know how France deployed?" Bonaparte said to her with a smile, showing his white teeth.

   "No." The British female spy said to herself.

   He returned his gaze to the map.

"The Great Wall will set up a beacon tower every fixed distance. Let us assume that they are deployed in this way. There will be many outposts on such a long coastline. Each post will be assigned a few people, and the total number of people will add up. It will be very impressive. , do you remember the Rue de Paris I told you about?" asked Bonaparte.

   "Remember." She nodded.

   "War is temporary, and garrison is long-term. I will not disperse my already insufficient troops in order to ensure smooth lines of communication." Bonaparte looked at the map and said

   "You will use an uncertain time to let the big convoy deliver the needed materials at one time." Georgiana said, "Have you ever thought that someone will destroy the road?"

   "Soldiers don't. As the battle situation changes, after the offense and defense are switched, they will also need lines of communication to transport supplies, but not necessarily the locals." Bonaparte said this, as if he fell into contemplation.

   "Scorched Earth?" asked Georgiana.

   "Even with scorched-earth warfare, the destruction of the lines of communication is the last, and the locals lose their communication, and they themselves cannot survive," Bonaparte said.

  Georgiana remembered "1000 damage to the enemy, 800 damage to yourself", or even more damage, because the army can make a detour, but the damage caused by the local area will take many years to alleviate.

   "I would not let my soldiers enter such a field." Bonaparte said "war is an art."

   She raised her eyebrows. It is estimated that many people do not agree with his point of view. How can the war be so cruel?

  There are many differences between the European battlefield and the "Oriental", and even the colonial war. There are not so many knights' creeds and civilizations. The record of the battle of the pyramids seems to be fictional, and people can't believe it is true.

   "Someone is spreading rumors that the White Lotus Sect is going to create riots in Guangzhou, and when the defenders of Guangzhou move the coastal defense troops to Guangzhou, the pirates will take advantage of these places to guard against the emptiness and go ashore to loot. Do you mean this?" asked Georgiana.

   "And the Admiral of the Canton Navy is about to step down." Bonaparte put down the pencil in his hand, "even though he's nothing."

   "Who do you think came up with this scheme?" asked Georgiana.

   "It depends on how the story develops in the future." He waved at her, "Come here."

   She was very obedient, and then sat on his lap and read to him.

   In fact, there is another way, that is, the residents along the coast feel that they are the eyes of the defenders. If they find that there are pirates or other armed forces, they will immediately notify the defenders, so that they don’t have to worry about dividing and dispersing their forces.

   Defenders can be stationed in key cities and regions, but the premise of this plan is "military-civilian relations".

   Regarding the Manchu shaving order of "keep the hair without leaving the head, keep the head without leaving the hair", it is difficult to achieve this.

"He who wins the hearts and minds of the people wins the world" and "Water can carry a boat and capsize it". As a wizard who aspires to be Merlin, he needs to understand these things, but Georgiana did not expect that she, a "sage" who was supposed to educate people, would be turned down. She is educated, and she is the one who should listen to her advice.

   She felt that it was necessary to adjust her "aspiration", she was still like an ordinary wizard, and she shouted "Merlin's beard" when she expressed her amazement.

  Nick took advantage of the night to return to the hospital. By this time, the soldiers had disappeared, including the two people who were originally guarding the door of Nick's room.

   He flipped in through the courtyard wall, and then returned to his room without disturbing anyone.

  The room was quiet, and you could hear the regular sound of the pendulum. With the light outside the window, you could see that everything inside was well placed in its original place. It seemed that Cao Xi did not come in to "collect evidence".

  Nick didn't immediately go to reveal the map on the wall, instead he suddenly fell down. The original purpose of what he did was to check if there was anyone hiding under the bed, but he accidentally avoided the sneak attack behind him.

  The man stepped on Nick and staggered into the house. Before Nick could see his face clearly, the sneak attacker had already stood up, and then he raised his hand high, looking to take a picture.

   "Catch the live one." Another man said in a low voice.

  Then the hand that the man clapped towards Nick's head changed direction and landed on Nick's shoulder instead, and this palm almost shattered Nick's collarbone.

   This person is not like the one holding a dagger in his hand last time, but his movements are fast, and his hand dancing seems to bring afterimages and the sound of wind.

  Nick thought for a second, he couldn't beat him anyway, so he couldn't act rashly, so he stopped trying to find the Spanish jackknife, and let the other side capture him.

"You're funny." The accomplice who said "to live" said to Nick, and then he opened a small porcelain bottle, similar to European smelling salts, and put it under Nick's nose for him to smell, and then Nick He felt that his mind was dizzy, and the other party asked him to do whatever he wanted.

They took Nick down a twisty road to the river, and took him to a small boat, and Nick was wrapped in a sack like a "meat ticket", and he smelled a strange smell through the sack. , and then lost consciousness, and could only vaguely feel that the boat was moving forward, as if it had left Guangzhou.
