The buildings of the military academy have been built and the refurbishment of the yards has been completed. Today, the campus is quiet. Only the various equipment according to Guangxu's previous instructions were neatly placed, and the installation began after the students arrived. Guangxu didn't know that rumors were already spreading in the capital, and everyone gathered in the conference room of the military academy. Now Guangxu is furious.

"That's the map." Guangxu pointed to the map in front of him: "Shaochuan, I asked you to go to the military department to get the latest map, and you brought me such a thing?" ”

"The emperor is angry, this is the latest in the military department." Tang Shaoyi also had no choice, and it took the military department a long time to find out.

Seeing Guangxu getting angry, Ouyang Zhenhua stood up and made a round for Tang Shaoyi: "Back to the emperor, this picture was taken by Lord Tang to the military department." The people in the military department said that this map was originally drawn by Zhou Peigong, a famous general during the reign of the Holy Ancestor Kangxi, when he was the governor of Shengjing. Later, all dynasties changed on it, but it was generally according to the original foundation, and the changes were not too big. According to the people in the military department, it can still be used. ”

"Still usable?" Guangxu took the case: "Shaochuan doesn't understand military affairs, you Zi'an still doesn't understand?" How can you fight with this map? You were still a person who studied in Germany, and you told me what a map of war should look like. Say. ”

Ouyang Zhenhua didn't think that this round was not completed, so he wrapped himself in. I saw Guangxu glaring at him, and hurriedly knelt down and replied: "The map used on the battlefield is measured for military training and combat use. An indispensable tool for the army to command operations. The more detailed the map, the better it is for combat. ”

"That's basically the truth, but you don't go into enough detail." Guangxu still looked at Ouyang Zhenhua. Although he had studied in Germany, there must have been the limitations of the times. Guangxu changed to a more amiable tone and said: "I will tell you about this map in detail, military maps should be divided into two types of maps: large and small. Large-scale maps should be detailed and accurate in content, and can be used to measure angles, distances, slopes, coordinates, heights, and areas from the map, and be used to study the terrain, determine the elements of artillery firing, and organize and direct troops to fight. Small-scale maps should reflect the topographical outline and geographical situation of a larger area, and should be used mainly by senior commanders to study and formulate strategic and campaign plans. Of course, the navy should also have a map for the navy. ”

Everyone was taken aback, they didn't expect that the emperor could say so much in one map.

Wang Shizhen, as a teacher of the Shanhaiguan artillery team, knew that the map was very important, and every shot was basically a visual inspection, but he didn't expect the emperor to say that he would measure the shooting Zhuyuan directly from the map: "It seems that the emperor measures the shooting Zhuyuan from the map, and it is enough to measure the shooting Zhuyuan." ”

Guangxu smiled: "The current artillery range is relatively close, so there is no need for it." With the development of technology, what if the range of future artillery is beyond the eye? ”

"You don't have to think about it, I just want you to know the important surname of the map." Guangxu pointed to the map on the table: "This map is not ready, it is not only crude but also has many errors, and it must be redrawn." This matter is about to be implemented, and you will be responsible for handling it, Zi'an. Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, Feng Guozhang, and the three of you also participated. After you go down, immediately recruit a group of people who know how to survey, starting from the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty and going all the way to the Shandong Peninsula, you must be precise and meticulous, every village, every river, every road. It should be marked on it. ”

Ouyang Zhenhua glanced at Wang Shizhen, and both of them had a sad look on their faces: "Back to the emperor, this matter may take three or five years to complete." It's hard to find someone who understands surveying and mapping. ”

"Immediately recruit a group of people who know how to survey. Together with all the people in the engineering department of the Beiyang Military Academy, who understand surveying and mapping, together with the available personnel in the Ministry of Engineering, they will recruit people from foreigners. Let's go back and make a will, this matter must be completed before the first day of the first day. In addition, the school should also cultivate some talents by itself, and just take this opportunity to learn and practice at the same time. ”

It was completed again before the First Five-Year Plan, and the people present were already numb to hearing the phrase "Completed before the First Five-Year Plan". But the mapping project is really huge, and it will take more than a year to do so.

"Your Majesty......" Ouyang Zhenhua was interrupted by Guangxu as soon as he spoke.

"It must have been completed before the first day of the First Five-Year Plan, and this point is non-negotiable. I know that it is a bit difficult to draw such a large place. I can't wait, and this country can't afford to wait. And, from now on. All maps drawn are classified as First Class Confidential documents. Those who leak and steal will be killed. ”

"Your Majesty, it will not be completed in such a short time, and the personnel of the Qing Dynasty will definitely not be able to complete it. The minister thought it was necessary to borrow the hand of a foreigner. But how can this be kept secret, and please ask the emperor for instructions. Zhou Qin couldn't help it, the CIA was secretly established under the emperor's behest, and there were few people. It's hard to keep it secret.

"Divide the partitions and shards to map and map, and finally take them back and draw them uniformly."

"The minister thinks that this law is good. However, to complete it in such a short period of time, it will inevitably use a large number of people, and it will inevitably attract the attention of others. Those who have a heart only need a little contemplation to understand our intentions. It would be good if you could find a way to do it. Tang Shaoyi was thinking about this.

"From the head?" Guangxu thought about it to no avail, so he could only say: "Think about it." ”

"And the emperor, where does this money come from?"

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned. "Whoever wants me to be the emperor, I will find a way." Guangxu looked at the map in front of him: "Let's send this map back, it's useless to keep it, the north of Heilongjiang is no longer my land in the Qing Dynasty." ”

"That's why the minister left this map." Tang Shaoyi replied: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers. It is better to leave this map, so that every student can see the territory of the Qing Dynasty in the past. It also allows every student to understand how this large territory has been lost. ”

Guangxu nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you." You will arrange all the things I have told you first, calculate how many taels of silver you want, and report them to me first. Even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I will never be short of the silver of the major military academy. Shaochuan, let's go back first. ”

Guangxu was worried about the silver, and he was stopped at noon before he thought about it. Qi Yide came to report that Kou Liancai was already waiting for the emperor in front of the palace gate at noon.

Guangxu was even more worried when he heard it, he didn't take Kou Liancai today, because he was frightened by the old lady's temporary inspection last time, so this time he left Kou Liancai to wait in the imperial study. I didn't think it would happen again. Guangxu hurriedly sent Kou Liancai to ask what was the matter. Kou Liancai said that Guangxu was smiling bitterly.

It's not that Cixi is looking for trouble again, the problem lies in the holy decree in the morning. Because many of the unequal treaties mentioned in the Holy Decree were signed between Britain and Russia and China. So these two countries came together to protest. Guangxu thought that it was fortunate that he would find a partner in the future, and the United States would be the first choice, so he did not write the Sino-US "Wangxia Treaty". Otherwise, I don't know what to do. What really distressed him was Kou Liancai's last sentence.

"Your Majesty, are you still laughing, the British and Russian ministers didn't see the emperor, so they went to the garden to see the queen mother. Word came from the garden, and the ministers of the two countries said that they were interested in what they wanted, and asked the Queen Mother to give an explanation. As soon as the British and Russian envoys left the garden, the Queen Mother summoned Prince Shiduo and the ministers of military aircraft. Countermeasures are currently being discussed. ”

"Then what did the Queen Mother say to the ministers of the two countries?"

"The Queen Mother said that the emperor has been in charge of the government, and this holy decree was issued by the emperor, and the Queen Mother did not know. Now the British and Russian ministers are waiting for the emperor in the palace of the heart. Don't laugh, I heard that the queen mother's face turned white. Kou Liancai's face was also quite white.

Guangxu remembered that later generations learned a text called "Making Taiwan and Seeing Foreigners" in middle school, which vividly portrayed the officialdom in the late Qing Dynasty as a servile and ugly face to foreigners. I don't know when the bad atmosphere of "the people are afraid of officials, officials are afraid of foreigners, and foreigners are afraid of the people" has been spreading.

At first, foreigners who had just entered China to set up factories also reported to the government in accordance with the custom of their home countries. But the officials of the Qing Dynasty were reluctant to contact the foreigners, and those who could shirk the affairs of the foreigners must pass the buck and delay them. The foreigners had to start work first, and when it was completed, a fait accompli was formed. Then you can file the case with the local government. I have to say that when foreigners first entered China, most foreigners were still relatively law-abiding. However, for protests, Guangxu really didn't pay attention to it. Just say a few more words of comfort. What is the protest, in later generations, China will be protesting and solemn negotiations, but what country has ever been birdy.

However, Guangxu noticed a problem, this time Britain and Russia came at the same time. At this time, Britain should fortify everywhere to prevent the expansion of Russian influence in the Far East. At the same time, the battle for Kashmir seems to have only been finalized this year. I don't know if I signed it.

Guangxu thought about it in distress, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said to Tang Shaoyi: "Shaochuan, you immediately go to the military department to get a map, be fast." Little Kouzi, you go back and tell the two ministers that you have not been able to see me, but the people you sent out have found me, and I am on my way back. In addition, take two ministers to the Taihe Palace. ”
