Chapter Twenty-Eight, Doraemon's Floating City

Yanjin County, Li Gudu

As an important crossing of the Yellow River in the north of Bianliang, as early as the time of the Fifth Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, it was already a battleground for soldiers in the north and south. The surging Yellow River flowed through the north of the town, making it a necessary route for the Song people to travel north from Beijing. The town is divided into a chessboard shape by several cross-rammed earth roads, the houses are heavy, stretching for several miles, there are thousands of rooms, inns and inns are as many as 100, and there is an endless stream of business travelers and tourists from all over the world. The main houses of each family are all large tiled houses of the same color, which are high and spacious, and they are much stronger than the people in other places, and the wealth of the townspeople can be seen from this.

But this town, which was rich and prosperous because of business travel, has now been burned down by the violent Jurchens, like many villages in Hebei and the Central Plains. The charred corpses can be seen everywhere in the ruins, and there is a unique stench behind the bones, and it is still permeated and refuses to disperse. There was silence in the vast ruins, not even the barking of chickens and dogs—more than two months had passed, and the whole town seemed to be still at the moment of slaughter.

Looking at the decadent ruins and rotting corpses everywhere, while feeling the cruelty of the war, everyone had to turn around and leave the town and camp in the suburbs - to Wang Qiu's surprise, Nobita, a primary school student, faced so many hideous and ugly corpses with broken arms, although his face was a little pale, and his legs and feet were a little weak, he did not vomit or faint, showing an extraordinary psychological element...... However, Wang Qiu recalled the number of times Nobita's five-member team had saved various worlds and defeated various demon kings over the years, and he seemed to be relieved......

By this time, the sky had cleared, and the rare winter sun was shining through the cracks between the lead-gray clouds, but it could not bring much warmth to the shivering travelers. A few officers can certainly find a shelter from the wind to keep warm and roast the fire. But the soldiers were busy. Dozens of mounts were led to the side of the road, their saddles loosened, and they looked down to nibble on the hay that the soldiers had collected on the spot and the bean cakes and wheat bran that they had carried with them.

Other soldiers took out paper packets from bags under their saddles, which contained Song Dynasty military portable dry rations. The boiled and dried japonica rice is ground and then pressed into shape. Paired with a small packet of salted tempeh, which is no different from a salty cube, it is a military ration for a Song soldier to eat for a meal - this kind of rice cake is actually quite a long time old, and was called "glutinous" in the "Qi Min Yaoshu" during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and even spread to Japan, which also used rice as the main crop, and became a food item often carried by Japanese travelers in the Heian period.

Of course, like all military rations, this rice cracker doesn't taste good, it's dry, astringent, and hard to swallow. Therefore, when conditions permit, the men will put it in a pot, add water to boil it into a paste, and then mix some wild vegetables or pickles, before scooping it out and distributing it to the soldiers...... At this moment, a few soldiers were putting rice crackers, salted tempeh and water into a small pot and setting it up on the fire to simmer, and from time to time cutting a vinegar cloth and throwing it in to stir it.

-- In addition to the "glutinous" and salted tempeh, which were used to carry portable military rations, in the logistics department of the Song army, there was also a method of soaking coarse cloth in vinegar, that is, after soaking the coarse cloth in vinegar, it was dried and carried with you.

It can be seen from this that the logistical thinking of the army of the Song Dynasty has far exceeded the limitations of the times and is almost modern.

Regrettably, such an "advanced" army, which is well-armed, logistically perfect, well-paid, and has an organizational structure and tactics that are far ahead of its time, has never been able to defeat those barbarians whose logistics and equipment are basically based on robbery, and whose tactics and command are mainly instinctive......

Of course, the above-mentioned military portable rations that seem to be very high-end and high-grade are actually junk food for vulgar military men. As a pampered scholar of the Song Dynasty, Qin Hui, who served as the overseer of the imperial history, could not look down on such shoddy food even when he was away from home—beside the blazing fire, the servant had already laid out a felt carpet in front of him, a plate of carved candied fruit and glutinous rice "fruit", and a few freshly baked sesame cooking cakes. At the same time, a frozen raw chicken is poured with sauce and pierced on the barbecue grill, and the flavor of the roast is overflowing.

Seeing that the roast chicken was not ripe for a while, Qin Hui first took the candied fruit and nibbled on a piece of cooking cake with dried meat to cushion his hunger. A pot of hot lamb wine was soon served. Qin Hui picked up the wine jug, poured himself a full glass, and then took a sip, smacking his lips with satisfaction - genuine lamb wine, milky white in color, clear and delicious, and full of stamina, it is an excellent thing to ward off the cold in winter. It can only be drunk in the seventy-two stores in Kaifeng Mansion in the whole world, so when Qin Hui learned that he was going to serve as a prisoner, he immediately sent someone to buy a lot.

Just as Qin Hui drank a few glasses of lamb wine in a row and felt a warmth slowly surging up his throat, he saw Guo Jing and Guo Daxian holding their hands and slowly walking down from the river embankment in front of him, his face full of displeasure...... Seeing this, he hurriedly threw away the food and wine at hand, stood up from the fire and saluted Guo Jing, the protector of the country, and asked how the road ahead was and if he could continue to travel north.

“…… It's really hard to do! Now the Yellow River has become a valley! I'm afraid that it will take a monkey to climb through! Guo Jing replied with a sigh.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Speaking of which, the sudden interruption of the Yanjin section of the Yellow River was actually the sin of Guo Jing and Doraemon and other traversers themselves.

- Before, Doraemon used the [weather control device] to mess up the weather, and forced Tokyo Bianliang to soar to more than 40 degrees Celsius in an instant in the number nine cold days of minus 18 degrees, and as a result, the section of Bianliang of the Yellow River, which had been frozen by severe cold, thawed and thawed extremely quickly.

But the problem is that although the downstream section of the river has melted, the upstream river channel is still frozen for thousands of miles...... What's worse is that at this time, the Yellow River was silted up by sediment, and it had already become a hanging river on the ground, and the tributaries on both sides could not flow in, relying on the water from the upstream, making the water level very low in the dry season. The melted snow soon dried upstream, while the frozen upstream had no water to replenish – and as a result, the river below Zhongmu in Henan dried up and cut off.

Further downstream, however, the river erupted into a snow-capped frozen swamp due to a rare winter flood – the far downstream section of the Yellow River near the mouth of the sea did not thaw because it was far from Bianliang, and the thawed water had to rush up to the ice...... And so it flooded.

Of course, this little flood is not worth mentioning at all compared to the burning, killing, and plundering of the Jin soldiers.

To get back to the point, because the water in this section of the river has dried up, and the upstream and downstream have been frozen again, making this a dry riverbed. So Guo Jing's "mini-Northern Expedition" would have to climb down the steep embankment and trek through the mud that would trap pedestrians - although the silt at the bottom of the river was still solid in the harsh winter, no one knew if there would be a place where it didn't freeze and sink as soon as it stepped on it -- and then climbed back up the steep embankment on the opposite side was no less difficult than rock climbing. If it were just a handful of agile Scout Elite Special Combat Teams, then they might be able to do it. But if you still have to lead the horses and drag the baggage carts...... I'm afraid it's a bit tricky.

Therefore, before Zong Ze, Guo Jing and others walked an extra hundred and ten miles in the upstream direction, so that they could cross the river on the ice.

However, for Doraemon, who has a universal pocket and magical items, these troubles are just small things that are not worth mentioning.

“…… It's okay, it's okay! Since you can't walk through the ground, let's fly through the sky! It just so happened that I was tired from walking all the way."

Doraemon said this calmly, and Nobita quickly nodded in agreement - although with the help of [Universal Reins] and [Momotaro Brand Taming Pills], after riding a horse for two days in a row, this elementary school student who was used to using the [Random Gate] felt a little unbearable, and both legs were grinding to a hot pain, and he limped when he walked...... I've been complaining all the way for a long time.

“…… Fly over? That's a good idea! But do you still have extra [Bamboo Dragonfly]? And these people of the Song Dynasty may not be able to use it! ”

Wang Qiu agreed with this, but also expressed cautious concern, as far as he knew, Doraemon had just accidentally destroyed his last spare bamboo dragonfly in the fierce adventure of the "Resident Evil" world hive base, but he had not had time to buy a new bamboo dragonfly to replenish it.

“…… It's not a small thing like a bamboo dragonfly! If you want to play this time, play big! ”

With a smug expression, Doraemon took out the set of [Cloud Condensing Spray] and [Fully Automatic Universal Construction Machinery] to create the "Land of Clouds", "...... Let's go big and build a flying war castle! ”
