Chapter 303: Prerequisites
As Li Jing came to the war room of the General Staff, Wang Ke saw the huge Tang terrain and the sand table of the surrounding terrain in the war room, and he didn't find anything wrong when he looked left and right, and he didn't know what the difference between what Li Jing said and what he did.
Li Jing saw Wang Ke's suspicious and puzzled look, and knew that Wang Ke didn't see the crux of the problem at all, so he had to explain to Wang Ke how different this sand table was. \\**
Wang Ke knew from Li Jing's words and a stack of topographic maps taken out by Li Jing that there was no problem with this sand table at first glance, but if it was really deduced on this sand table, there would be problems, one was that the height and distance of the mountains and rivers above were wrong, and the distance between the two places was also very different, it doesn't work at all.
Wang Ke understood it now, but he was even more confused, he didn't understand how such a situation could occur, for himself, who had only seen it and had done this for the first time, there had never been such a problem when he was making a sand table, how could these people who were more 'proficient' in this way than themselves have such a problem?
Wang Ke took a large stack of paintings on paper, according to Li Jing said that it is a very 'precise' topographic map, carefully compared with the scenery on the sand table, it didn't take a while, Wang Ke understood what was going on, it turned out that the sand table was randomly shaped the shape of mountains and rivers, in the process of production, there was no consideration of the proportion or anything, just roughly according to the topographic map drawn on the paper to shape a shape, if you really want to use it, of course there will be all kinds of problems.
And when Wang Ke was making that sand table, he used a lot of proportions, elevations, and even latitude and longitude that were commonly used in later generations, and he felt a little decent when he made it.
Seeing Wang Ke straighten up, Li Jing knew that Wang Ke had found the crux of the problem, and hurriedly asked, "Does the virtuous nephew know what's going on?" Can you correct it? ”
As soon as Wang Ke heard Li Jing's question, he almost threw himself on the sand table, how to change this correction, it can only be pushed and redone, how easy is this change, even if it can be changed, it is estimated that the time required to change it is much more than making a new one.
Wang Ke cleaned up the 'messy' things in the sand table with his hands, and said to Li Jing: "Uncle, don't think about changing this thing, it's convenient to make a new one, and now the emperor also asked the little nephew to make a sand table for the army, so it is better to take this opportunity to redo this sand table, so as not to change it in the future, isn't it more troublesome?" ”
Wang Ke's words were well-intentioned, and Li Jing knew it, but what he thought was that if he really did this, if it was too late, then Comrade Li Er's request to enter Tuyuhun in a month would be delayed, and at that time, Comrade Li Er's blame would be blamed, but no one could bear it.
Thinking of this, Li Jing was a little anxious, and hurriedly said to Wang Ke: "Virtuous nephew, let's put this matter until later, what is needed now is to quickly make the sand table of the entire territory of Tuyuhun is the most important, the emperor is anxious to enter Tuyuhun in a month!" ”
Looking at Li Jing's anxious appearance, Wang Ke couldn't help but laugh a little, even if he was working overtime now to make the sand table of Tuyuhun's entire territory, what could he do? This entry is just an ordinary military operation, there is no war, there is no question of where to conduct a campaign, there is no need to use this sand table for a series of deductions, only a detailed map is needed.
And now that he has detailed information about Tuyuhun in his hand, he only needs to make a map for Li Jing and them to determine the location where the Tang army needs to be stationed after entering the entire territory of Tuyuhun.
I just didn't think of this relationship just now, as soon as Comrade Li Er said that he wanted to make himself a sand table, he agreed without thinking about it, and now that he thinks about it, this sand table is impossible to move with the marching team, and the map is much more useful when marching.
Wang Ke told Li Jing what he meant, Li Jing immediately understood, since Wang Ke made the first sand table, everyone is used to the march and fight this matter, are used to deducing on the sand table, but forget the map, this time to say that there is to take action, the first thing that comes to mind is to use the sand table, after all, this thing looks much more intuitive, not as troublesome as the map.
However, this operation is also as Wang Ke said, the dependence on the map is much stronger than the sand table, each garrison point after the determination, the officer in charge of this army needs to enter the territory of Tuyuhun after arranging according to the actual situation, at this time, the most needed is the map, not the sand table, it seems that the most urgent thing now is indeed to make the map.
Li Jing was not ambiguous, and immediately said to Wang Ke: "Virtuous nephew, then you should hurry up and make a map, the old man hurriedly entered the palace to explain the situation to the emperor, and moved the sand table production back to make the map first." ”
Li Jing's words Wang Ke still understands, after all, this matter of making a sand table was ordered by Comrade Li Er, and now if it is changed to making a map, even if Comrade Li Er understands the truth in the future, but Li Jing and himself can be regarded as violating the holy order, how can they be punished, now Li Jing let himself do it first, he went to Comrade Li Er to explain the situation, then there will be no such thing as this, isn't everyone safe?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wang Ke had to admire Li Jing for thinking carefully about this matter, not only did not delay a little time, but also eliminated all criticism invisibly.
Seeing that Li Jing turned around and walked out after speaking, Wang Ke hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, let's arrange a few people who are good at drawing maps for the little nephew first, and wait for the little nephew to 'hand' them how to do it while drawing, so that they can make it independently in the future, and they don't have to let the little nephew 'get' it every time." ”
As soon as Li Jing heard this, he knew that Wang Ke was going to be lazy. However, Wang Ke is also right, if there are not many people who can use Wang Ke's drawing method to draw maps, every time they want to do these things in the future, Wang Ke will have to do it, wouldn't it be even more troublesome.
Li Jing smiled and pointed at Wang Ke, signaling that he understood what Wang Ke was thinking, nodded and walked out.
Wang Ke took advantage of this time to clean up the things in the sand table to the ground, the bracket of this sand table is big enough, just wait for a few people who are good at drawing maps to come, use this bracket to draw, as for the things he threw on the ground, Wang Ke doesn't care, naturally someone will come to clean up, no need for Wang Ke to think about it.
As soon as Wang Ke had cleaned up the large pieces of things on the sand table bracket, and some small ones had not had time to be cleaned, he saw four junior officers rushing in, Wang Ke knew that this must be the person who drew the map sent by Li Jing to himself, and he hurriedly beckoned to these four people and asked them to come over quickly. \\**
Before the four of them came, they had heard Li Jing tell them that they were asked to come to learn Wang Ke's drawing techniques, and they still didn't think so, thinking that they had always been good at drawing maps, could it be that there was something different, but with Li Jing's order, and they had heard of Wang Ke's deeds, they came over one by one with curiosity.
After these people saluted him, Wang Ke said while saluting back: "Hurry up, clean up this bracket, and then start drawing a map, the emperor is still waiting for it!" ”
Wang Ke's purpose in saying this is actually ulterior motives, when these people came in, Wang Ke found that these four people had a kind of unconvinced look in their eyes, for this kind of look, Wang Ke understood what it meant, these four people Li Jing found must be very good at drawing maps in the army, but now they want them to follow him to learn to draw maps, in the eyes of these people, it is completely unnecessary. And although his military rank is higher than theirs, he is much younger than these people, and in their opinion, even if he is a little higher, he should not be better than them, and he wants to teach them, and he is not qualified to do so.
To be honest, Wang Ke also knows that when it comes to drawing maps, he really can't compare with these four people, and he can draw, but painting and drawing maps are two completely different concepts, and the drawing of maps is rigorous, and it cannot be as particular about brushwork skills as painting.
If it is really a real drawing, he will never be the opponent of these four people, and the only thing he can shock them now is the various mapping techniques he has learned in later generations, only this can make them feel that they are better than them, if they can't come up with some real skills, they can't be convinced!
After a while, the four of them had already cleaned up the bracket, and the special white silk used to draw the map was also laid on the bracket, and several people looked at Wang Ke together to see what Wang Ke could say.
Wang Ke didn't beat around the bush, and directly handed the information in his hand to the four people and said: "Let's put aside how well this map is, according to the factors required for you to draw the map now, the data required for drawing the map are all there, do you think so?" ”
The eyes of the four people looked at the information handed over by Wang Ke, and they all nodded, and they all agreed with what Wang Ke said, for them, what kind of data is needed to draw a map for many years, as long as they use their eyes, they can know it clearly, and now Wang Ke has handed all the information under his fucking nose, can he see it clearly?
Wang Ke put the information back, and said with a serious face: "But in my opinion, these data are not sufficient, the military map is not as good as anything else, what is required is a 'fine' certainty, if you can't do this, then the loss is the 'life' of our soldiers!" I don't know if you think I'm right? ”
Don't look at what Wang Ke said is just a big truth, but it really shocked the four people, and now these data are extremely detailed for them, but listening to Wang Ke, there is still a long way to go, which is unheard of for them, and several people are a little 'colorful' for a while.
After a while, one of the four people wearing the rank of captain slowly spoke to Wang Ke and asked, "I don't know what data Lord Wang thinks is still missing?" I wonder if you can tell us that when we let these scouts go out to investigate in the future, we can pay more attention to these aspects. ”
At this time, this person's tone also began to soften, and the look in his eyes was not as unconvinced as he was just now, which made Wang Ke still very comfortable in his eyes, after all, this could be regarded as suppressing these people a little.
Wang Ke pointed to the information and said: "Now these data are still a lot, but there are many key places that are still missing, such as the shape of the mountain, what it looks like, this is not reflected, the road is opened up in what position is not indicated, the general direction of the river is marked, but the width of the river, the small turn is not indicated, how far away the town is from the mountains, the river, the terrain and landform where the town is located are not detailed, if it is not much of a problem as a business travel map, However, it would be a bit hasty to use it as a proof of marching and fighting. ”
Wang Ke's words really stopped the four people, for these, not to mention them, even the people who taught them did not say it, for a long time, they just drew the information that the scouts took back on the white silk, as for how far this object is from another object, they will not care, as long as this thing is marked on it, it will be over, and now Wang Ke said this, only to know that these are the necessary conditions for drawing a map.
But how to do this is not too clear, and now it can only be asked by Wang Ke to tell them what method should be used to express these necessary conditions.
