Chapter 360 The Importance of Maps

Cut out the sheepskin map and hide the unused ones.

Zhang Yuan opened the door and strode outside.

Now that we have paper, we have to find someone to make a few copies.

As for whether the rumors would leak out, Zhang Yuan didn't think too much about it.

The Huns are not yet strong enough to plant spies in Taixue. Han Wangxin's group of ghost slaves are already neither human nor ghost. They are just slaves on the grassland, but if they really come back, it will definitely be worse than death. more terrible.

No matter when and where, people's hatred for traitors is far greater than that of enemies.

Since he is not afraid of being known by others, in order to show Zhang Yuan's openness in his heart, and more importantly, in order to be lazy, Zhang Yuan chooses to ask others to draw the map.

"Tai Xue Ling what is this?"

After finding King Wuqiu Shou, Zhang Yuan threw the sheepskin scroll in his hand on his desk.

It is estimated that except for Zhang Yuan, no one else in Taixue has recovered from the shock of the past few days.

"Map, find a few students to copy it on paper at a one-to-one ratio.

Give me the most exquisite one first, and then let them copy hundreds of maps, I will be of great use. "

King Wuqiu Shou spread out the sheepskin map while listening to Zhang Yuan's instructions.

His pupils were slowly dilating as the parchment scroll was unfolded.

The territory of the Great Han was drawn out first. Even though the map is very detailed, it did not surprise King Wuqiu Shou too much.

To be honest, King Wuqiu Shou hasn't seen many maps yet, and he doesn't know how bad the big man's drawing skills are.

Now people in many places are still not able to enter, such as some steep mountains and dangerous streams, which directly lead to the lack of great development of Dahan's surveying and cartography.

Of course, it is probably the best in this era, but it is definitely not as good as Zhang Yuan's map.

Zhang Yuan's map does not indicate the ratio, otherwise it would be too abrupt in this era to make a one-to-one ratio.

When people asked Zhang Yuan what one was, Zhang Yuan could not answer that it was one centimeter.

Moreover, the current length distance is also somewhat different from that of later generations.

There is no scale on the sheepskin map, which is also easy to get. Just measure the distance between the two cities, and then compare the actual distance, and the proportion will come out naturally.

Zhang Yuan will not do this matter, and it can be handed over to the students when dividing the map or making maps of other scales in the future.

Drawing and cartography is also one of the courses that Zhang Yuan wants to offer this new discipline.

At least the big men have a great demand for this type of map, and the finer the map, the finer the army can be divided.

These days it is all group armies fighting, and it is rare for a single team of hundreds of people to attack, or to disperse the army and carry out coordinated operations.

A small group of Han troops would not cooperate with other large troops when attacking the Xiongnu.

For example, it was like this when Huo Qubing led the army.

The leader of the army did not dare to separate the army easily. There are too many examples in history that such dispersion of the army led to the failure of the war.

It also created many lost generals.

In an unfamiliar place, the army cannot be dispersed, but must be concentrated.

But with a detailed map, even when the enemy is not familiar with the area yourself, then coordinated operations are no longer a dream.

The last time they attacked the Xiongnu, although the Han army was cooperating, it was still a kind of encirclement warfare, and there must be no shadow of any coordinated operations that should have existed.

Of course this is because there is no such level yet.

Zhang Yuan wanted to train the tactical capabilities of the generals in the army, but he didn't have the qualifications yet.

We can only train people who are familiar with the map to the Han army first, and then see if we can directly intervene in the training of generals, or it may be more appropriate to focus on Wei Qing.

"Tai Xue Ling is this a map of the desert?"

On the vast prairie, there are not many things that can be identified.

Dahan's original map of the territory of the Xiongnu was blank, and the team of the pro-marriage went to the desert and returned to nothing.

Because it won't be long before the Huns' tribes will migrate.

The only thing the big man knows is the Dragon City of the Huns, and there is really nothing further north.

On Zhang Yuan's map, although there are many gaps, many mountains, lakes and rivers are marked.

Although King Wuqiu Shou hadn't seen many maps, he also knew what was the main reason for his failure in the previous battle against the Huns.

No one can catch the Huns on the grassland, but the situation is different after having a map.

"Yes, when I fought against the Huns in the early years, I met a businessman who secretly traded with the Huns.

I promised him great benefits and told him that as long as he can draw a map of the desert, he will surely be rich forever.

In addition, we also sent people to collect our own maps and spliced ​​them together into what you see now. "

Wuqiu Shouwang stood up, then lowered his upper body and saluted Zhang Yuan, the upper body and lower body directly formed a [-]-degree angle.

This kind of etiquette is already the limit of expressing respect in the era when the knees can only kneel, lick and kneel to parents.

"Fortunately in this life, Xiaguan is working with Taixue Ling.

What is a Dahanqing doctor, now in the eyes of the officials, you are the Dahanqing doctor! "

King Wuqiu Shou used the accent when he read the last few words, and it was not until this time that Zhang Yuan finally convinced him.

In this country, not only the surnamed Liu regards the Huns as a shame, from the emperor down to a low-level slave, the first reaction to seeing the Huns is definitely to look for weapons that are suitable for hand.

Sad to say, the best way to stimulate the blood and cohesion of a nation is to stimulate it with another nation.

Preferring to die standing rather than live kneeling has been the unyielding spirit of China for thousands of years.

No matter how later generations tamper with it, how to publicize it.

In Dahan, the Huns must die.

In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, foreign races such as Xianbei were the natural enemies of the Han people, blood feud!
In the Song Dynasty, foreign countries such as Xixia and Liao were also the natural enemies of the Han people. Even if some people knelt down, what would the result be?Everyone knows the ambition of wolves, how can it be impossible to feed wolves with their bodies?

Since then, the Mongolian and even the Jurchen and other foreign races have slaughtered the Han people less?

In a certain era, those who fought bloody battles for the country are heroes, national heroes, national heroes, and people's heroes.

It is absolutely impossible for some people to dilute this imprint.

Zhang Yuan, who was a big man 2000 years ago, looked at King Wuqiu Shou with both eyes, and could clearly feel the pride engraved in the bones of each other.

In the turbulent waves of history, it is indisputable that the Han people are the conquerors. Only by never stopping the pace of conquest in this world will it not be obliterated by others.

Peace is meant for some naive people. Only by making your fists bigger and tighter can the nation continue to be strong and civilization not be cut off!
