Because of Song Tiegen's unexpected discovery, Tianxiongjun and Su Wei began to frantically purchase pickles at the port market.
There has always been a high demand for pickles in the port, because although the sailors of the ocean-going merchant ships did not understand the principles of scurvy, they knew that they had to eat it. When there was demand, there was supply, and there was plenty of stock in the market.
Liang Chuan couldn't help but pack up most of the pickles. For a while, many merchants in the port began to prepare pickles for shipping to Nanyang after autumn and winter. Unexpectedly, they couldn't buy the pickles, or the prices had increased ridiculously.
There has been a lot of movement of people at the port recently, and the prices of several materials have increased strangely. These abnormal behaviors have attracted the attention of many merchants in the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce. However, there are no current and popular goods in circulation, making everyone confused. Is confused.
What they were worried about was that there would be no pickles, the sailors would be disobedient on the ship, and the panic caused by strange diseases at sea would be terrible.
Small pickles will have an impact on business. Insightful businessmen have begun to let family members prepare these small things by themselves, so as not to lose the big for the small. After all, there is still half a year until winter, enough to prepare quite a lot. pickle.
More people are waiting and watching, wondering what happened. Qingyuan Port has never been so abnormal in recent years.
Liang Chuan's style has always been to win a quick victory. It would be best to fire the cannon directly to the entrance of Penghu Island, then blast the pirates inside, and be done with it! But this time Liang Chuan didn't want to let anyone live, because he didn't know how powerful the Japanese forces were behind this, and whether Yizhou was also within their control!
If we want to attack Yizhou, the subsequent mobilization and preparation will be an extremely huge project!
He didn't want Penghu to be taken back again just after he had taken it down and before he could warm it up. A lot of people would definitely die in such a battle!
There was another problem before him. He found that the number of warships was not sufficient!
This is simply the grossest question among them!
This is equivalent to finding out that there are no horses before the cavalry goes out to fight, so what's the point?
The number of personnel mobilized this time was so large that Liang Chuan did not dare to let everyone crowd into one ship. Xia Dehai also said that the more the number of sea ships, the more artillery installed on them, the stronger the combat effectiveness. If all the eggs were put on In a basket, if something unexpected happens, the whole army will be wiped out.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Liang Chuan called Su Wei again. It was better for two people to find a solution than alone.
Su Wei is not only busy these days with the deployment of various materials and personnel, but also busy formulating plans for landing on the island. Although Liang Chuan has many ideas, fighting a war requires not only tactics but also strategy!
He will not consider the issue of Yizhou. In his opinion, it is a primitive and undeveloped place where savages roam, and it is of no use at all. Why do we need this kind of wasteland? If we want the top of the mountain, we might as well go to the southwest, where the mountain is the king. There are so many mountains! Why bother looking for an island overseas? The transportation is even more inconvenient.
A sand table has been built in the port office, which is made to imitate the island. It marks the distribution location of various facilities on the island obtained from Wang Heng.
The island sand table is very abstract, but it is enough to meet the needs of the sea!
Seeing this sand table, Liang Chuan suddenly thought if the chart would be easier to use!
There are thousands of islands in the ocean. Yizhou can take it by himself. Why can’t he take other islands? There are also worlds farther across the ocean!
"Did you do this?"
Liang Chuan asked Su Weidao.
"I saw the sand table you made in Dingchuan Village back then. It is really a must-have weapon on the battlefield. Together with the telescope, the combination of these two artifacts can control the entire battlefield even from miles away. It couldn't be easier to use! "
"This sand table of yours is not good enough. Are the sea charts useful?"
Su Wei said: "Of course it will be useful! We must know how many islands there are in the sea so as not to miss any corner where the enemy may be hiding."
After speaking, Su Wei took out a nautical chart from his arms and spread it in front of Liang Chuan.
Liang Chuan took it and took a look, and his face was suddenly filled with black lines!
What kind of nautical chart is this? It's just a brutalist abstract painting. It probably just draws a circle to mark the name of this place. I only know that there is Yizhou Island in the east. What other uses can it play?
Liang Chuan's mouth was astringent, and he said with some difficulty: "Xia Dehai and the others relied on this chart to go to Southeast Asia? Fortunately, they can still find Luzon Island!"
Su Wei's eyes flashed with a familiar light again. He knew that this kid Liang Chuan must have something private!
"Master, is it possible that you have a better chart?"
In fact, sailors do not rely on a chart to navigate at sea. Most of them walk along the coastline. They will not go too close to avoid hitting the rocks, nor will they go too far, otherwise they will lose their bearings and move along the coastline. You can never go wrong if you go south. It’s also very convenient to replenish supplies along the way!
If sometimes they are led astray by ocean currents, they will also look at the sky and rely on the position of the stars to determine the direction. Therefore, the chart is only a reference to the geographical position for them, and the actual role is not great!
Liang Chuan said: "I don't have one, but I can draw one based on my impression!"
At this time, it was Su Wei's turn to have a dark look on his face!
Although you, Liang Chuan, also visited the island country back then, and then drifted to Su? City, you can't deceive people like this, can you? The map is not as good as memorizing it after reading it once? What if Xia Dehai and the others were obsessed with your chart back at sea?
"Boss, you really know how to joke. Let me put it this way, the sea map. If it can be accurately located, its value is higher than that of our Liu'ao Island! When the Liu Gang entered Guanzhong, they wanted nothing but took away the world. topographic map!”
"I've heard about this. Gaozu's ambition will naturally not be obsessed with those useless things! Do you have paper and pen? Bring them over and let me try them!"
Su Wei handed the letter and question to Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan frowned when he looked at the brush Su Wei handed over.
He can't even write with a brush, let alone draw with a brush!
He ran into the stove, reached into the stove and took out a half-burnt dark branch, used it as a pencil and started drawing on the rice paper!
Liang Chuan was not good at drawing maps, but in his favorite liberal arts field, geography, unscrupulous teachers often moved the topographic maps of one or several provinces onto the test paper, and then asked the candidates to guess the location of the place. There are specialties!
It was this kind of perverted test question that left an impression on Liang Chuan's mind from all over the world.
The chart drawn by Liang Chuan does not need to be accurate, because it is of little use. He only needs to mark the South China Sea and the islands in the Pacific!
This is not only for visiting Penghu now, but also for traveling around the world in the future!
Liang Chuan first drew the Fujian Road. The size of the drawing at first was only the size of a palm. Kong Ran found that the paper was not big enough, so he took another piece of paper and drew a strait in the middle. There were also a few scattered islands next to a small island. Small island, this is Penghu! Then another piece of paper was picked up, and another outline appeared on the paper. It was a little slimmer and longer than Fujian Road, but the island was huge! It is more than a hundred times larger than the Penghu Island that is about to be attacked!
At first, Su Wei thought Liang Chuan was just joking, but when he saw that the chart drawn by Liang Chuan marked various cities, and the coastline was somewhat tortuous, and even some important ports were marked, Su Wei knew that Liang Chuan was not joking!
Quanzhou, Jianzhou, Fuzhou, Longhai, Tingzhou. . Liang Chuan marked out all the government offices in Fujian and Vietnam.
Then Liang Chuan began to draw mountains on the map. At the junction of Jianzhou and Jiangxi, a large river ran across it. Liang Chuan also wrote several Wuyi Daiyun Mountains!
After painting the mountains, the next step is the water system!
Sun River, Jiulong River, Min River, Ting River! Liangchuan is like the creator, looking down at all living beings and the earth from the perspective of a god. All the mountains, rivers and rivers are all vividly displayed on the paper!
Su Wei was going crazy looking at this small piece of rice paper. This kind of map would never appear in any classic. Even the Shui Jing Zhu written by Li Daoyuan did not include such a detailed topographic map!
"My boss, I have always wanted to ask you. They all said that you are the reincarnation of the stars in the sky. Later I visited Fengshan and they said that you were the reincarnation of the mountain god. Which one is true?"
Liang Chuan chuckled and said, "Stop listening to their nonsense!"
"Then where did you get all this knowledge? I'm a fairly well-read person. I've never heard of so much knowledge. You seem to be born with it. Could it be that it was a gift from God?"
"I really read it in a book!"
Su Wei is a little serious. He also wants to see what kind of heavenly book has so much knowledge!
"Where is the book?"
"My master won't let me tell you!"
Su Wei is helpless!
As soon as the teacher's sect is said to be very important in this era, some teachers explicitly ask the students not to reveal the teacher's information after they join the world, for fear of bringing disaster to the teacher's sect!
Liang Chuan's brain is full of knowledge and wisdom. As long as he studies any of them, it will be a world-shaking university knowledge!
Liang Chuan didn't dare to say that this book was a textbook published by the People's Education Press!
He continued to draw the map of the southeast!
Sometimes the painting was not satisfactory because it was asymmetrical and there was no eraser, so he would twist off the thread with his hands and start over again on the same spot.
Maps are not that easy to draw!
And as he continued to draw, Liang Chuan discovered that two pieces of paper were not enough!
Then the third, then the fourth. .
Liangchuan was drawn from Fujian Road to the Yangtze River area, that is, Liangzhe Road and Jingdong Road. However, the administrative divisions were completely based on later generations. Five vertical and three horizontal, Qinling, Huaihe, and then the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers. Mountains and rivers began to appear. , Liang Chuan couldn't stop!
"This...this is the map of the Song Dynasty!"
Su Wei also didn't believe that someone could put the whole world into his mind. .
"Alas, the first time I drew, I didn't draw well enough. The scale didn't match well. Many details were ignored. Let's draw another one!"
