Chapter 2131 Flower Chapter (Thirty-nine)

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

"Why do you have this?" she asked in surprise.

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

Georgiana looked at the map in front of her. It was the "Comprehensive Map of the Imperial Map" drawn during the Kangxi period. The point of what Bonaparte just said was that Kangxi hired someone to recruit French cartographers to draw this map in the past, but they It uses a surveying and mapping method that has been eliminated by France, and it is precisely because of this that it is so easy to recruit talents.

But even so, it already looks like a modern map. Not only can you clearly see the Bohai Sea and North Korea, but also the longitude and latitude lines. The latitude is calculated from the equator, and a latitude line is drawn every 30 degrees, while the longitude lines are It started with BJ.

"What are you doing with this?" she asked with some fear.

"Have you ever wondered why the Qing government prohibited grain from Jiangnan from being transported to Liuhe?" Bonaparte asked, looking at the map.

"No." She answered honestly.

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

"Saint-Jean Acre is also a seaside city. It has very important strategic significance. This city is not only the mouth of the sea, but also the hub of the canal. In addition, there is this place." Bonaparte pointed to "Tongzhou" ”.

"The most critical thing in a siege is food. If these two places are occupied, food will not be transported to the enemy and the enemy will be defeated without siege."

"The BJ defenders will not sit still and wait for death. They will send troops to retake these two places." Georgiana said.

"You idiot, what I'm telling you is why it is forbidden to transport 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 begun to flourish after the Yuan Dynasty. Get up, I remember that the capital of the Song Dynasty was Hangzhou."

"That was in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was in Bianliang, where Bao Zheng Yamen was located." Georgiana said.

"This is a common method used by you British people to starve others to death." Bonaparte seemed not to have heard what she said, and said with malice, "The Qing government tried to control these merchant ships in the south of the Yangtze River, so that they would not have to worry about pirates getting involved. To attack Tianjin, we must also keep the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal open and prohibit sailors from forming associations.”

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

"It all depends on how the Qing government deploys defenses along the coast. Do you want to know how France deploys defenses?" Bonaparte said to her with a smile, showing his white teeth.

"No." The British female spy said confidently.

He returned his gaze to the map.

"The Great Wall will set up beacon towers at fixed distances. Let us assume that they are deployed in this way. There will be many outposts on such a long coastline, and each outpost will be assigned a few people. The total number of people will be very considerable.

, do you remember the Paris road I told you about?" Bonaparte asked.

"Remember." She nodded.

"War is temporary, defense is long-term. I will not disperse the already insufficient troops in order to ensure smooth communication lines." Bonaparte said while looking at the map.

"You will use an uncertain amount of time to have a large convoy deliver the needed supplies at once." Georgiana asked, "Have you ever thought that someone would destroy the road?"

"Soldiers don't. As the war situation changes and offense and defense change, they will also need transportation lines to transport supplies, but local people don't necessarily." When Bonaparte said this, he seemed to be lost in thought.

"Scorched earth tactics?" Georgiana asked.

"Even with scorched-earth tactics, destroying communication lines is the last resort. The locals will not survive if they lose transportation," Bonaparte said.

Georgiana thought of "a thousand wounds to the enemy, eight hundred losses to oneself", and even more self-destruction, because the army could detour, but the local losses would take many years to be mitigated.

"I will not let my soldiers enter such a battlefield." Bonaparte said, "War is an art."

She raised her eyebrows. It is estimated that many people do not agree with his point of view. The war is so cruel, how can it be art?

There are many differences between the European battlefield and the "Eastern" and even colonial wars. There are not so many chivalric creeds and civilizations. The results of the Battle of the Pyramids are like fiction, and people cannot believe that they are real.

"Some people are spreading rumors that the White Lotus is going to cause riots in Guangzhou. When the Guangzhou defenders transfer the coastal defense troops to Guangzhou, the pirates will take advantage of the lack of defense in these places to come ashore and plunder. Is this what you mean?" Georgiana asked.

"The Admiral of the Guangzhou Navy is about to resign." Bonaparte put down the pencil in his hand, "Although he is in name only."

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

"It depends on how the story develops." He waved to her, "Come here."

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

In fact, there is another way, that is, the residents along the coast consider themselves to be the eyes of the defenders. If they find pirates or other armed forces invading, they will immediately notify the defenders, so that they do not have to worry about dividing their forces and spreading their forces.

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

It is difficult to achieve this according to the Manchu and Qing Dynasty's shaving order of "leave the hair but not the head, leave the head but not the hair".

"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world", "Water can carry a boat or capsize it", as a wizard who aspires to be Merlin, he needs to understand these, but Georgiana did not expect that she, the "sage" who was supposed to educate people, would be

She educates people, and she is the one who should listen to her advice.

She felt that she needed to adjust her "ambition". She was still like an ordinary wizard, saying "Merlin's beard" when expressing her surprise.

Nick returned to the hospital under the cover of night, and by then the soldiers had disappeared, including the two people who were originally guarding the door of Nick's room.

He climbed over the courtyard wall and returned to his room without disturbing anyone.

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

Nick did not immediately remove the map on the wall. Instead, he suddenly lay down. His original purpose of doing this was to check if there was anyone hiding under the bed. However, his move accidentally evaded the sneak attacker behind him.

The man stepped over Nick and staggered into the house. Before Nick had time to see his face clearly, the sneak attacker had already stood firm, and then raised his hand high and was about to take a picture.

"Catch them alive," another person said in a lowered voice.

Then the man's hand that was slapping Nick on the head changed direction and landed on Nick's shoulder instead. This palm almost broke Nick's collarbone.

This man didn't hold a dagger like the one last time, but he moved very quickly, and the movement of his hands seemed to bring up afterimages and the sound of wind.

Nick then thought, he couldn't defeat him anyway, so he couldn't act rashly, so he stopped trying to find the Spanish folding knife and allowed the other party to capture him.

"You think you are interesting." The accomplice who said "I want to live" said to Nick, and then he opened a small porcelain bottle, similar to European smelling salts, put it under Nick's nose and let him smell it, and then Nick

He felt that his mind was dizzy and he would do whatever the other party asked him to do.

They took Nick along a winding road to the river, and took him to a small boat. Then Nick was put in a sack like a "meat ticket", and he smelled a strange smell through the sack.

, then lost consciousness, and could only vaguely feel that the boat was moving forward, as if it was leaving Guangzhou.
