Chapter 182: Surveying and Mapping

In addition to asking Guo Xing'a to search and kill the remnants of the cult, he also sent Ke Yiping, the head of the Criminal Department, to Fengning to check the details. Guo Xing'a just took the opportunity to rest in Fengning for two days, and while treating the wounded soldiers, Pi Runmin came up with a full set of teachings of Changle's old mother, and Xishou also drummed out the gods and magic weapons.

Ke Yiping hurried to Fengning, and then was shocked by the scene in front of him. Guo Xing'a completely annihilated the Fengning Green Battalion, Tuanlian and his dependents, although the imperial court attached great importance to it, but only sent him a criminal department director, and he was also suspicious of Guo Xing'a's performance. But all the senior generals of Guoxing's department who greeted him were injured, and Guoxing's head was covered with a circle of gauze with bloodstains, and this injury was not faked. The main generals who can inflict heavy damage on a Eight Banners Forbidden Brigade must be in the case that the elbow and armpit Guo Xing'a and others are completely defenseless, and the Fengning garrison sneak attack the Eight Banners soldiers, and rebellion is a sure thing. I am afraid that the friction between the two armies guessed by the DPRK and China is not true, and no matter how much friction there is, it is impossible to rub it on Goxinga.

"Lord Ke is laboring!" Guo Xing's sick arched his hand to Ke Yiping.

"Yun Shuai, don't be polite, how is the injury!" Ke Yiping was born as an official of the Imperial History, and Su Shun happened to have done the imperial history of the Zuodu, so Ke Yiping also had an explanation before he set off. As long as Guoxing'a doesn't have much trouble, Ke Yiping will definitely turn around, but it seems that he doesn't need it now, Guoxing'a has opened the scoop, and the chance of him taking the initiative to cause trouble is much smaller.

"Lord Lao Ke is concerned, and the Fengning garrison, in the name of welcoming the triumph of our department, sent assassins outside Tucheng to plot against me, and took the opportunity to sneak attack our department. I didn't check for a while, I was conspired against, and I was smashed by a copper mace, and it was out of the way! "Guo Xing's acting is even more powerful, as if he can't stand on his feet at any time and is about to fall.

"Yun Shuai, take care, this is not a place to speak, let's go inside to talk!" Ke Yiping hurriedly stepped forward to help Guo Xing'a, and helped Guo Xing'a all the way to the Chinese army's big tent.

After entering the military tent, some people who relied on gauze to fill the number quietly retreated, and only those who were really injured such as Cao Meng, Li Zhi, Kong Zhen, and Chengtai were eligible to attend. Guo Xing'a personally took the lead in unwrapping the gauze, and everyone showed their shocking wounds one after another, which made Ke Yiping feel disgusted for a while.

"Yun Shuai, the wound is still wrapped!" Ke Yiping looked at Guo Xing's bloody scab forehead, and felt nauseous. He also knew that Guo Xing'a was deliberately showing the wound to show the truth, but he really couldn't see it.

"Thank you, Master Ke, Lang Zhong in the army said, the weather is getting hotter now, and the wound is easy to suppurate and infect, so it's better to breathe more and keep it dry!" Guo Xing'a and the others are all skin injuries, which are indeed not suitable for long-term wrapping, and they are not sincerely disgusting Ke Yiping.

"Yun Shuai said in his compromise that the traitor believes in the evil god Changle and the old mother, I don't know what the specific situation is?" Ke Yiping originally had a few polite words about the relationship with Guoxing Arala, but he really couldn't stand the visual stimulation and cut directly to the topic.

"I'm just hearsay, so I ordered the officers and men of the station to pay attention to inquire during the march, but there is no evidence. However, after exterminating the rebels, a large number of artifacts related to the evil god Changle Lao Mu were seized in Tucheng. Some of the remnants have been interrogated, although it is said that the raid of the Fengning garrison on our department is related to the old mother of Changle, the others are unknown, and this old mother of Changle seems to be related to the horse bandit Wang Da Pole that our department has recently exterminated. Our department has also recruited some horse bandits who still have a conscience, but they don't know about Changle's mother's affairs, and I am afraid that it is confidential and private for outsiders to know. "Guo Xing'a pushed 265, he just wanted to get rid of the charge of slaughtering the city, and the rest of the things were left to the court to give him a headache. However, after several analyses, Pi Runmin judged that the Fengning Army's sneak attack on Guoxing'a may be related to the recently exterminated horse bandits, and Guoxing'a immediately thought of the relationship between Wang Dazhu's pole and the Dushikou Green Battalion. Although he himself is not sure, since he has to deal with the court's inquiries, he naturally has to add some private information.

Xishou presented his old and processed idol artifact, and Guoxing Ake was a good student who had studied Japanese comics, and he couldn't think of any strange shapes. The shape of this immortal mother is a combination of the nine-tailed demon fox and the six immortals, Ke Yiping glanced at it and shouted at the evil sect, deeply thinking that what Guo Xing'a said was true, completely ignoring the discrepancies between Guo Xing's words and the compromises.

Guo Xing'a also sent Xishou to accompany Ke Yiping to visit the ruins of the massacre, of course, many bad things were done by cult gangsters, and Guo Xing'a's department was just self-defense and counterattack. No one in the Guoxing Department cares about the situation in Tucheng, which is a purgatory on earth, and these days are eaten by insects and rats, and wild dogs gnaw, which makes the scene of the end times extremely miserable.

Ke Yiping, who was about to vomit out the bitter gall, returned to Fengning, woke up for a while, and then wrote a letter to report to the imperial court. not only confirmed the authenticity of what Guo Xing'a said, but also added oil and vinegar to exaggerate the harm of Changle's mother to the point of shaking the country's foundation. After Xianfeng watched Ke Yiping's twists and turns, a purge against a non-existent cult began vigorously in Beizhili. Eight generations of Wang Da's ancestors have been dug up, and Wang Yicheng, who was lucky enough to escape from Guoxing's hands, also had to flee to Mongolia when Xianfeng was hunting in the north.

Guo Xing'a didn't know what happened next, because before Ke Yiping's performance arrived in Beijing, Guo Xing'a, who had been cleaned, embarked on a journey home. This time, a total of more than 2,700 horse bandits and more than 600 strong men were recruited, and Guoxinga needed to rush back to Gu'an to reorganize his troops in preparation for the more severe challenges that were coming.

However, it was Mu Shun who led the brigade and the wounded back to Gu'an, and Guo Xing'a was going to do something more important. While Fengning was waiting for Ke Yiping, Guo Xing'a drew elites from various departments and expanded Changlu's reconnaissance company to 500 people, and now he wants to take these 500 scouts to draw a map.

The next major enemy in Goxinga was the Anglo-French coalition army, and the main route of the Anglo-French alliance in the Second Opium War was from Tianjin to Tongzhou and then to Beijing. He couldn't go to Beijing Guoxing'a, but he could now draw a military map from Tianjin to Tongzhou under the pretext of passing by on his way back to his division. In the past, Guo Xing'a paid great attention to the reconnaissance of the geographical environment, but in the past, due to the constraints of conditions, Guo Xing'a actually went wherever he went, and completely closed his eyes and relied on inquiries to fight. This time he will face the world's first-class army, Guoxing Ake does not dare to hold it up, he must be perfect to feel at ease. Fifty miles along the canal are all within the reconnaissance range of Goxinga, although there is no overall idea, but Goxinga knows that he will definitely not fight with the British and French forces, sneak attack and guerrilla attack is his choice. Therefore, he has to understand everything around him in detail, and use all the available circumstances to let Seng Lingqin go to the front and he will pick up the bargain in the back.

Although Rong Hong bought back a large number of surveying and mapping everything for Guoxing'a, surveying and mapping is not something that can be done with equipment, and Guoxing'a doesn't know much about this thing. Fortunately, Rong Hong knows some surveying and mapping knowledge, and the Chinese are indeed more powerful in ancient times, and a large number of local Chinese theoretical knowledge supports Guoxinga, and it is very coincidental that Zheng Qifeng has studied this miscellaneous science.

Xu Guangqi of the Ming Dynasty compiled the "Quanyi of Surveying", which was a masterpiece of surveying and mapping scholarship in the world at that time, which was rich in content, involving area, volume measurement, basic knowledge of plane trigonometry, spherical trigonometry, and the manufacture of surveying and mapping instruments. Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was also a pioneer in this area, and the old man personally tinkered with the level and carried out the practical operation of surveying and mapping. Although it can't be compared with modern maps, the "Imperial Panorama Map" made by Kangxi is also a very detailed map, but this thing Guoxing Ake can't get it, so he can only do it himself.

Moreover, the military map that Goxinga needs is not the same as what the old men made out themselves. He had to clearly see the height and depth of each high ground and river, the detailed distances between places, and the war resources in each place. Accuracy is an almost demanding requirement, and Guoxinga must know the population of each village, and even more so the situation of each well and every granary.

The 500 scouts began their first attempt at surveying and mapping with teams in small groups, holding advanced Western instruments and carrying the theoretical knowledge left by their ancestors. The unremitting work and the hardships of trekking through mountains and rivers make these soldiers, who were once the absolute main force, feel that the sky should not be called the earth.

Pi Runmin, who claimed to be quite good at danqing, was robbed of a brush by Guo Xing'a, issued a pencil and various rulers, and began his most painful painting. He and Goxinga need to draw the data that the soldiers scout back every day on the drawings, and Goxinga's harsh drawing requirements and cumbersome standards have almost tormented him, and the data sent back by the soldiers always shows that the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth.

After tossing for a full month, Guo Xing'a returned to Gu'an with great regret, and there were still many discrepancies on the drawings, but he could not delay any longer. Xianfeng directly issued an edict to Guoxing'a, asking him to return to Gu'an to reorganize his armament and protect the place. Moreover, the government and garrisons in various parts of Zhili also found the traces of the scouts, after all, it is unrealistic to completely conceal such a big action. Although Guo Xing'a used various excuses to shirk for a while, he also felt a lot of pressure, after all, his behavior is easy to associate with the word ill-intentioned.

There is another important reason why Guoxinga hurried back to Gu'an, the invasion of China by the British and French forces is imminent. The history of Goxinga is not very good, but there are some special impressions of September 18th. There have been two 918 in Chinese history, the most famous is of course Zhang Xueliang retreated without a fight and lost the four eastern provinces, but the battle of Bali Bridge was also on September 18, Guo Xing'a stumbled upon this coincidence, so he remembered it deeply.

Pi Runmin inadvertently said that today is the third day of the eighth month, so that Guo Xing'a, who is unaware of the passage of time, knows that something has come to him. Although there are many expectations in his heart, Guo Xing'a is more nervous, whether the fire in the Old Summer Palace will burn again, Guo Xing'a is a little uncertain in his heart.
