Harry Potter Morning Light

Bonaparte left the cabin suddenly, and just when she thought he was about to lose his temper again because of the "ship" problem, he came back with a map and put it on the table.

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

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

Georgiana looked at the map in front of her. It was the "Huangyu Quanpan Map" drawn during the Kangxi period. The point of what Bonaparte said just now is that Kangxi recruited someone to recruit the map drawn by French cartographers in the past, but they used the surveying and mapping method that had been eliminated by France, which is why it is so easy to recruit talents.

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

"What are you doing with this?" She asked with some trepidation.

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

"No." She answered honestly.

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

"Saint-Jean-Ac is also a seaside city, which has very important strategic significance. Similarly, 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 important thing in the siege war is food. If these two places are occupied, the food will not be able to be transported to B***J, and the siege will break down."

"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 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 prospered after the Yuan Dynasty. Woke up, I remember that the capital of the Song Dynasty was Hangzhou."

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

"This is a common method you British people use to starve others to death." Bonaparte seemed to have not heard what she said, and said maliciously, "The Qing government tried to control these merchant ships in the south of the Yangtze River, so that there is no need to worry about pirates getting 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?" Georgiana asked.

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

"No." The British female spy said very confidently.

He returned his gaze to the map.

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

"Remember." She nodded.

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

"You will use an indefinite amount of time to let the large convoy deliver the needed supplies at one time." Georgiana interjected, "Have you ever thought that someone will destroy the road?"

"Soldiers don't. As the battle situation changes, after the offensive and defensive exchanges, they will also need transportation lines to transport supplies, but the locals may not." Bonaparte said here, as if lost in thought.

"Scorched Earth?" Georgiana asked.

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

Georgiana thought of "injuring the enemy one thousand, and self-injury eight hundred", and even more self-injury, because the army can detour, but the local losses will take many years to ease.

"I would not send my soldiers into such a field," said Bonaparte. "War is an art."

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

There are many differences between the European battlefield and the "East", and even the colonial wars. There are not so many knights' creeds and civilizations.

"Someone is spreading rumors that the White Lotus Sect is going to create riots in Guangzhou. After the Guangzhou defenders transfer the defense forces along the coast to Guangzhou, the pirates will take advantage of the emptiness of these places to go ashore and plunder. Do you mean that?" Georgiana asked.

"And the Admiral of the Guangzhou Navy is about to step down." Bonaparte put down the pencil in his hand, "Although he is useless."

"Who do you think conceived the scheme?" asked Georgiana.

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

She got by very obediently, and then sat on his lap and read to him.

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

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

It is difficult to achieve this in the case of the Manchu shaving order of "keep the hair but not the head, and keep the head but not the hair".

"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world", "Water can carry a boat and overturn it", as a wizard who aspires to become Merlin, he needs to understand these things, but Georgiana didn't expect that she, a "sage" who was supposed to educate people, would be rejected She is educated by others, and she is the one who should listen to her advice.

She felt that she needed to adjust her "aspirations". She was still the same as ordinary wizards.

Nick took advantage of the night to return to the hospital, when the soldiers had disappeared, including the two people who had been guarding the door of Nick's room.

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

The house was quiet, and the regular sound of the pendulum could be heard. With the light from the window, one could see that the things inside were well placed in their original places. It seemed that Cao Xi did not come in to "collect evidence".

Nick didn't immediately go to uncover the map on the wall, but suddenly got down on his stomach. His original purpose of doing this was to check if there was anyone hiding under the bed. However, this action inadvertently avoided the attacker behind him.

The man stepped on Nick and staggered into the room. Before Nick could see his face clearly, the sneak attacker had already stood still, and then raised his hand high, looking to be photographed.

"Catch the living." The other said in a low voice.

Then the hand that the man slapped on Nick's head changed direction and landed on Nick's shoulder instead, and the 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 very fast, and his dancing seems to be able to bring up afterimages and the sound of wind.

Nick thought about it, he couldn't beat him anyway, so he couldn't act rashly, so he stopped trying to find a Spanish jackknife and let the opponent capture him.

"It's interesting." 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 I feel like my mind is dizzy, and I can do whatever the other party asks him to do.

They took Nick on a tortuous road, came to the river, and escorted 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 , and then lost consciousness, and could only vaguely feel that the boat was moving forward, as if it had left Guangzhou.
