Liang Chuan's painting seems to be unable to stop.
The area north of the Yellow River had fallen during Su Wei's lifetime and had long been in the possession of the Khitans. Therefore, he had never been to the north, let alone what the land of Yanyun was like!
"This is Daming Mansion!"
Liang Chuan smiled and said nothing, while his pen was still stretching.
After the Taihang Mountains, the Changbai Mountains wrap around a large plain, and a long river like a black dragon entrenches the northeastern land. The large mountain range of the Daxinganling Mountains has become the main artery of the Northeast. Su Wei was fascinated by this land. Many famous generals in Li and Tang Dynasties once asserted, It must be this land that cuts off China!
The records of the territory of China in many documents from past dynasties also stop here, and there are not many texts further north!
A rooster seemed to appear on the paper, with its curve extending to the northwest!
Su Wei thought to himself, I have been here before, but I don’t know him at all!
"Oh, there's no way to continue drawing like this, the picture is too small!"
Su Wei looked fascinated. Liang Chuan had already used sixteen pieces of rice paper to draw a map, but he still felt that it was not enough. How big is the world?
"Master, please stop now, I'll ask a painter to paint it!"
Liangchuan's office in the port has been recruiting all kinds of outstanding talents, and this time it has posted a new list, looking for outstanding painters!
There are not many painters these days, and those who work in this profession are either starving to death or on the road to starvation. At that time, Wu Daozi, a painting sage, also lived every day painting for others and begging for food!
This kind of industry can only be profitable in the peaceful and prosperous times, but there are really only a few years in the prosperous times. In the feudal era, which year was not a state of half-death, who would bother to appreciate paintings?
As soon as the list was posted, more than a dozen painters were recruited!
Liang Chuan couldn't help but sigh, it's not easy for art students to find a job these days!
According to the rules of talent introduction, it was natural to give these special talents some food first, change their clothes, and then invite them to live in. Liang Chuan was not afraid of raising these people in vain. After drawing the map, he went to perform on the street and sketch for others. Earning a few copper coins at a time is also money!
When he first saw this group of people, Liang Chuan couldn't help but be shocked. Those who knew knew that these people were talented, but those who didn't really thought they were beggars! A group of people were even worse off than Cao Buxiu was at that time!
These days, if you work hard on the dock, your life will be more comfortable, because there is endless cargo, and as long as you can still work, there will be work to do, it depends on whether you are willing to make money!
Liang Chuan looked at the oldest one and asked, "What's your name?"
The painter replied: "My name is Liu Yishou!"
Liu Yishou, what a great name!
"What did you do before?"
"Going back to my employer, I used to be a painter who painted the golden bodies of Bodhisattvas in the temple. I can also paint groups of immortals and hundreds of saints. I am the best at the pilgrimage murals in the temple!"
"My Healing Game"
"That's great. If you can paint the Bodhisattva, it means you know how to match various colors. What I'm looking for is not just someone who knows Chinese painting. You will be in charge of these people from now on!"
Liu Yishou was very grateful. It turned out that his group had heard that Quanzhou Prefecture was building several large temples recently. By then, they would not be needed to depict the gods and Buddhas in the temples? Liang Chuan worshiped in many temples, and he knew that painting in the temples was no small project! Naturally, there are more painters coming here because of its reputation!
But they didn't inquire about one thing. The temple they built this time was a temple for gods outside the Tibetan area. The inside of the Qingjing Temple was not like our Han temple. They didn't want to do this. After all, they only had a few pieces of meat. There are few painters who go all the way in vain and can’t find a job at all!
Fortunately, there is no unstoppable road for them to meet Liang Chuan!
Liang Chuan's idea was very simple. The map could never be drawn in one stroke. He didn't want these painters to leak the map, so they divided their labors to draw. They didn't understand what they were drawing, so they just had to draw the terrain according to his instructions. That’s it!
After the painters receive the tasks, they complete their respective tasks, and finally put the map together!
These painters looked at Liang Chuan's sketch with bewildered expressions. What is this? But when you take other people's money, you have to keep your mouth shut. If you make them unhappy, you won't be able to get the money!
Liu Yishou can also mix paint!
This is exactly what Liang Chuan needs!
Liang Chuan's map does not want to be an abstract map, he wants to imitate a modern map, using the depth of color to indicate the height of a place!
The color of the mountains is very dark, and is painted with brown. When it comes to plains and valleys, it is painted with grass green. Moreover, Liang Chuan's opinion must be sought before using colors, because only he knows whether this is a plain or a plateau!
As for the lakes, rivers, and seas, it is undoubtedly blue. The materials used in the entire map are a hundred times more complicated than imagined!
It turned out that the map of Fujian Road was so simple that it took the group a long time just to draft it, and Liang Chuan still felt dissatisfied!
The war is coming, and it seems that this map cannot be completed. Just preparing the paint is a huge project. Originally, Liang Chuan wanted to let these people free up to do sketching, but now that he thinks about it, it is too much. More than a dozen people have to complete this map. If you zoom in a little further on the map, it won’t be enough for a dozen people to see. It’s no different from editing the Yongle Grand Ceremony!
Su Weiyi referred to the sea chart drawn by Liang Chuan and fell into deep thought about the current situation!
His idea was almost the same as Liang Chuan's, but when he saw the chart drawn by Liang Chuan, there was an island the same size as Fujian Road behind the Penghu Islands. Su Wei frowned like a ball of thread, and his heart became even more anxious. !
Liang Chuan called the sea facing Qingyuan Port the Yizhou Strait, which was like a canyon, except that it was full of sea water.
The Penghu Islands are in the strait, but this island is closer to Yizhou!
In Su Wei's impression, Yizhou has not been the territory of the Song Dynasty since ancient times, and it is even more unclear who controls the island now! It would be troublesome if it were controlled by the Japanese who occupied the Penghu Islands!
The Penghu Islands are equivalent to the gateway to Yizhou. When the Penghu war breaks out, the Japanese on Yizhou will rush to help the Penghu Islands. When the time comes, they will be sandwiched between the two islands and will be attacked from both sides. Even if Penghu is captured, how to defend the islands is still a question. question!
It is unknown how many naval forces there are in Yizhou, but he only has infantry on hand, so he has to rush to the shelves temporarily. Although it is true that he has lethal weapons like artillery on hand, there are too many unknown factors at sea to resist the wolf tactics of the Japanese. I'm afraid the outcome of the fight is really uncertain!
Liang Chuan's family background is not rich, it can be described as shabby! It is completely enough to defeat the bandits and bandits on the mountain, but compared with the forces of the separatist party, it is still not enough!
They can't afford to lose. If they lose once, they will have to reincarnate, and they won't even have to wear their pants!
Su Wei really felt the pressure this time!
Being a military advisor is not that easy!
Liang Chuan was also thinking about why he fired this shot. When Su Wei opened his mouth, he asked, but Su Wei choked back: "Why are you anxious? The pirates haven't discovered us. It's not up to us to decide when to attack!"
"You took some gunpowder, are you so angry?"
"No, no, this is not the time to attack the island..."
Su Wei murmured to himself, overturning another strategy in his mind. He really had no idea. When he came to his senses, he said to Liang Chuan, "Will Xia Dehai send information back today?"
"As promised, he will come back today!"
"As soon as he comes back, let him come to see me! Call Yelu Chongguang here too!"
When Yelu Zhongguang heard Su Wei calling him, he didn't want to pay attention to this old man. They only recognized Liang Chuan, but when he thought that Liang Chuan had been eaten to death by Su Wei, and he couldn't help but betray Su Wei's old face, he could only say angrily. Come to the office.
He knew that there was going to be a war soon, but it was a naval battle. They couldn't help at all, and might even cause trouble. Liang Chuan didn't need the people from their intelligence team, so he was feeling depressed!
What did Su Wei ask him to do?
At night, when Xia Dehai came back from the sea, the two of them entered the port office together!
The two of them usually have nothing in common, and they have nothing in common. They each have something to do and rarely stay together. The two of them looked at each other before entering the door, with a question in their minds. Why were they suddenly called together?
As soon as the two of them entered the door, Su Wei advised Liang Chuan: "I think this matter must be slowed down a little longer before everything is ready to launch the three armies!"
The two are discussing the plan for this island attack.
Liang Chuan was reluctant. His mind was full of quick action to catch the enemy off guard. If this matter were delayed any longer, it would only lead to long nights and nightmares!
"I have also thought about your worries, but have you ever thought about how powerful these pirates would be if they had a territory as big as Yizhou? Wouldn't they have come to attack Qingyuan Port long ago?"
The two couldn't argue, and the two newcomers didn't dare to express their anger.
When Su Wei saw someone coming, he immediately faced Yelv Chongguang, pointed at his nose and said without courtesy: "Go and interrogate that guy Wang Heng for me. I want to know whether there are any Japanese in Yizhou. What are the Japanese?" Are there also troops in Yizhou?"
Just because of this?
Didn't Yeluhan go back and forth several times?
"Yes!" Yelu Zhongguang turned to leave, but was called back by Su Wei: "If you can't come out in trial, you and Xia Dehai will bring a group of people with you in the evening, retaliate in the same way, and pretend to be from the Song Dynasty. The merchant is carrying a batch of tea to Yizhou. When you get to the island, check it out for me!"
The two of them were stunned, weren't they monitoring Penghu Island? Why did it become Yizhou again? They had never been to Yizhou!
Yelu Zhongguang was a little worried: "Check...what?"
He just looks like a rough guy. He doesn't look like a businessman. No matter how much he pretends, it's easy for others to spot him, right?
Su Wei glanced at Yelu and said: "I don't need to teach you how to pretend. When you go to the island, you can find out who controls the island and whether there is an army on the island. How to fight this battle depends on the intelligence you get." Got it!"
What!
Now the Tianxiong Army and the Chengguan Brigade are ready outside the port. Every day's light consumption is not a small amount. How long does it take to go to Yizhou and back?
Isn't Su Wei afraid that Wang Heng has been captured by them for so long and other pirates on the island will find something wrong?
