In Bianliang City, Genyue
After several days of large-scale demolition by Doraemon and others, most of the pavilions and pavilions in the garden have been razed to the ground.
Only an exquisite small courtyard was left, which was left as the temporary residence of the Great Immortal Guo Jingguo.
This is an exquisite and small mini valley. There are many beautiful peaks in the valley, all kinds of things, strange and strange rocks, clear water flowing through it, waterfalls and colorful pools, which are naturally made. The water moves and the rocks change, and the colors are intertwined under the sun. It makes people wonder. You won’t get bored watching it. If you sit by the small pool, listen to the sweet sound of the waterfall pouring into the clear pool, and admire the green bamboos and moss on the shore, the rippling waves, and the beautiful sight of the water, it will make people calm down quickly. Especially in this unusually hot weather, you can feel a rare sense of coolness.
At this time, the Great Immortal Guo Jingguo was summoned to go to court to see the emperor, leaving only Doraemon and others here to take stock of the proceeds from this major demolition.
"...wood, jade, precious stones, gold, jewelry, spices...these items were pawned for a total of 16 billion yen."
Doraemon clicked on the calculator, and finally wrote a series of numbers on the notebook with a pencil, "...the amount seems to be less than expected...but the entire Genyue has been almost completely looted by us. I can’t get much out of it.”
——In fact, with the level of productivity in ancient times, it was already very difficult for time travelers like Wang Qiu to squeeze so much money out of the royal gardens of the Northern Song Dynasty. You know, according to the current exchange ratio of sixty-four yen for one gram of silver, four thousand yen is equivalent to one tael of ancient standard silver. These 16 billion yen can be exchanged for 800 yen in the modern world. Ten thousand taels of silver... is not a small amount no matter how you look at it.
(The weights and measures of gold and silver in ancient times were different from those of daily commodities. One pound equals sixteen taels.)
But for Doraemon, who is carrying a huge debt of 300 billion, this little money is just enough to fill his teeth.
In addition, although Doraemon has even used super moves such as "Winter Turns into Summer", according to the "Book of Time Travel", they have only received less than 500 reward points in total so far. It really makes people feel very sad.
Just when they were feeling troubled, a group of pretty palace maids, carrying various food boxes, walked lightly like fluttering butterflies. Wang Qiu's eyes immediately lit up - although these girls were not considered to be national color It is fragrant, but it is also beautiful, elegant and graceful, with fair and delicate skin, beautiful eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a pretty nose and mouth, and with the steps, the ring on the silk belt around the waist rings softly, which makes people's hearts flutter. .
They were all the royal "furnaces" who were originally stationed in Genyue. At this time, they were ordered to serve Master Guo Jingguo and his "disciples",
——Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty who built this Gen Mountain, called himself Taojun Emperor, the leader of the religion, in an attempt to live forever and become an immortal. It's just that since Huizong of the Song Dynasty was the emperor, he naturally refused to retreat from the world and practice asceticism like a hermit. Instead, he listened to the deception of a few demons and worked out a set of techniques to harvest yin and replenish yang. According to these demons who are proficient in Fangzhongshu, the "furnace" that the emperor collects is best from a virgin aged twenty-eight, that is, about sixteen years old; her skin should be white, tender and delicate, her complexion white and rosy, and her bones Exquisite and delicate, with shiny black hair and harmonious facial features, she is actually a standard beautiful virgin; and the more the better... At the most, Zhao Ji had thousands of "furnace" in Gen Yue and the harem. virgin.
Although after the two Jin soldiers attacked the city during the Jingkang period and the change of throne in the Song Dynasty, many palace maids and servants were exiled. There were not many girls left in Genyue, but these last more than a hundred This girl is enough to dazzle Wang Qiu and the others, let alone these weak girls in troubled times. The girls are always deliberately flattering, and they are almost ready to recommend themselves to the pillow mat. Of course, college students like Wang Qiu are their primary targets, but even Nobi Nobita, a primary school student, is very teased and seduced by these "beautiful big sisters" , making Nobita blush and his heart beating...
Unfortunately, Bianliang is currently caught in a war, and it is really not the time to enjoy romance and beauties with red sleeves. And there was Doraemon, a doraemon with such a high moral integrity, beside him... So, although he felt a little itchy in his heart, Wang Qiu ignored the sad eyes of these girls. After they put down their food boxes, he ordered them to hurry up Back off.
"... Let's take a break and drink a bowl of mung bean porridge to relieve the heat! Compared with those people outside the city who are dying of heat, we are much happier."
Wang Qiu reached out and opened the lid of the food box, took out a few secret-colored porcelain bowls, handed them to Doraemon and Nobita Nobita, and at the same time talked about the current war.
——In order to grasp the frontline situation of the Bianliang offensive and defensive battle as soon as possible, Doraemon launched a set of [mini reconnaissance satellites] the day after landing in this time and space to monitor the Jin Army outside the city at all times. Movement in the camp.
Therefore, when the Song army left the city for a raid, Wang Qiu had been paying close attention to the real-time battle situation through the computer screen.
"...This morning, under the strong insistence of Prime Minister He Su of the main war faction, Inspector Fan Qiong led four thousand warriors out of Dongshui Gate to attack the Jin Army camp. Although the combat effectiveness of the Jurchen cavalry was greatly reduced in the scorching heat, Weakened, the Song army gained a The result of the battle was determined, but the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered, and the strength of the troops was very different. In the end, the Song army won first and then lost. Only less than 200 of the 4,000 soldiers escaped, and the main general Fan Qiong was trampled to a pulp by the Jin army's cavalry... ”
While Wang Qiu was drinking mung bean soup, he explained the latest battle situation to Doraemon, who was busy settling accounts, and Nobi Nobita, who had been reading comics, "... Of course, although the Song Army suffered heavy casualties, the price paid by the Jin Army was actually even greater. Can Afraid - because the weather is too hot, many golden soldiers often fall down while running and never get up again. The horses under their crotches also fall to death in groups, and before they die, they put the knights on their backs. Throw away.
In fact, the number of Jin soldiers who died from high temperature and heatstroke was even more than the number who died in battle. Moreover, before the Song Army was defeated and retreated, it also set a fire in the Jin Army's camp. It is expected that the number of casualties of the Jin Army will not be less than 20,000, and the morale will drop even more seriously..."
< br>
"...Eh? You really fainted while running! These ancient people were really weak!"
Doraemon put his head in front of the surveillance screen, "...It's incredible, can they still be considered brave warriors?"
However, in Wang Qiu's eyes, this situation is easy to understand: first the temperature is 42 degrees Celsius, and then the hot ground is exposed to the scorching sun. The air humidity is also deliberately high, and then a group of people who are accustomed to climbing The Northeastern Jurchens, lying in the ice and snow, engage in such high-intensity and intense exercise as cold weapon fighting for several hours in a sweltering environment that is better than a stove... Is this seeking death? What about seeking death? Or seeking death?
Didn’t you see that you were already sweating and drowsy from the heat just by waving a fan in the shade and watching war videos?
Alas, I really miss the air conditioning and air conditioning at home!
Thinking of this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and his imagination opened up, and he came up with a crazy idea for a quick victory.
"...Well...Doraemon, since the [Weather Controller] is so effective, how about we simply further increase the temperature to fifty degrees Celsius and heat all the golden soldiers outside the city to death? This is a good idea, isn't it? ! ”
Before Doraemon could respond to this crazy proposal, Sennin Kuo Kyung, who had just returned from the imperial court, was so frightened that he stopped.
"...Don't! Don't be so reckless!"
Seeing that Doraemon had taken out the [Weather Controller] from his dimensional pocket, Guo Jing, whose clothes were already soaked with sweat, was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, "...these two golden men outside the city Although the weather is extremely hot, the people of Song Dynasty in the city are not feeling well either!
Especially those pampered officials and scholar-bureaucrats, who usually wear thick and heavy robes, and because of their status and dignity, they cannot just take off their clothes and go shirtless like the common people. As a result, when they went to court today, they fainted from heatstroke for two full days. Ten ministers! The official family of the Song Dynasty (the title of the emperor in the Song Dynasty) has now become a superman, and he is not afraid of the heat! But the old bones of the Supreme Emperor (Song Huizong) were too much to bear! ”
Indeed, the current abnormally high temperature, which has soared to 60 degrees Celsius in one breath, is an out-and-out double-edged sword - although it has turned the vigorous Jurchen barbarians into sickly soft-legged shrimps, it is also a double-edged sword for the defenders. It was also a severe test for the Song army in the city and the monarchs, ministers, officials and people of Bianliang.
It is a pity that Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty was exquisite and elegant, wealthy and tasteful. It was the most coveted paradise in the world at that time. But this city alone lacks the martial spirit of the Han and Tang Dynasties, let alone the perseverance to fight to the end.
——The total population of Bianliang City was no less than one million when it was most prosperous. The city walls were high and thick. There were some of the most sophisticated craftsmen in the world and weapons that could equip hundreds of thousands of troops. But when the Jin army moved south, there were not even enough soldiers to guard the city wall.
Here, we can do a simple arithmetic problem. Even if there are only 500,000 people left in Bianliang City at this time, based on the calculation of one ding for five people per household, we can immediately get 100,000 strong men, even if we can't go out to fight. In field battles, guarding the city wall is still enough. The total strength of the Jin Army was only 150,000. According to calculations in ancient times, the siege force must be at least twice the number of defenders. The commander of the Jin Army was not thinking about how to capture Tokyo City, but how to retreat to the Yellow River! During the Third Punic War, Carthage, ancient Rome’s old enemy, was deceived into handing over all its weapons. It was still able to work day and night with the remaining supplies in the city, asking women to tear off their hair to make bow strings, and melting statues of gods to forge swords. Relying on these improvised weapons, they withstood the siege of the Roman legions for three full years before finally breaking the city due to lack of food.
But what about Bianliang City in the late Song Dynasty? After a full fight, they resisted for less than a month before the city was defeated and they surrendered! What incompetence, what cowardice!
The so-called pitiable people must be hateful. This is indeed a wise saying.
——Thousands of the Jin Army in the wild may have died of heat and plague in the scorching heat, but these tough men who have endured white disasters on the grassland all year round can still persevere. The pampered Bianliang people, gentry, officials and people had only suffered in the rolling heat wave for a few days, but they were already complaining everywhere. The soldiers guarding the city were already refusing to go up to the city wall to bask in the sun - luckily the golden soldiers on the opposite side were unable to move out either. Several citizens who died of heatstroke were carried by their families in coffins to cause trouble in front of the government office. The Great Immortal Guo Jingguo, who was regarded as a savior just a few days ago, has now become a target in the court. He is scolded by the scholar-bureaucrats who stand and talk without pain, blaming him as the chief culprit of the country and the people, and asking him to deal with these heavenly cities. Responsible for those who died of heatstroke.
Faced with this situation of killing people, the helpless Guo Jing had no choice but to persuade Doraemon to turn off the [Weather Controller] - that evening, amidst the troubled and complicated emotions of the people of Bianliang, the city's The temperature once again dropped back to minus fifteen degrees Celsius where dripping water turns into ice.
Thousands of people caught colds due to the hot and cold weather, but at least the severe cold prevented the spread of the plague.
Then, another even more disturbing thing happened.
——Wanyan Zongwang, the commander of the siege Jin army, sent a peace envoy to the Song Dynasty court. For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the court - the voice of signing an alliance under the city and suing for peace sounded again in the Bianjing court and the public.
