The charcoal field outside the Donghua Gate was densely packed with soldiers and civilians watching.

Everyone watched with curiosity as this king made a kind of thing called honeycomb coal.

Cylindrical honeycomb coal filled the room, and dozens of soldiers were holding a cylindrical iron lump from a pile of cinders with yellow clay.

The honeycomb coal machine was made in the blacksmith shop for more than ten days, and the operation is simple and convenient, and it can be operated flexibly.

"Brothers, do it in shifts! When you are tired, you can change the hands of a group of people, and if you don't do it well or do it badly, throw it back and do it again!"

Xu San was busy with interest, busy with work, and saw a round thing with holes all over his body coming out, but he felt quite funny.

"General Wang, are you sure that this round, wet thing can ignite the most?"

Uncle Zhang was suspicious at night, and looked around the honeycomb coal for a long time, but he didn't understand how to use this thing and what it was for.

Liu Tao also had a solemn face, and said with a straight face: "General Wang, are you really sure?" Now there is a shortage of coal in the city, if we don't have this thing and can't make a fire, then it will be trouble!"

"It's called honeycomb coal, it's not a thing!"

Wang Song's hands were all dirty, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he laughed and said: "Two ministers, you put your heart back in your stomach, it will definitely open your eyes when the time comes!"

"Big brother, why didn't I see you making this thing when I was in Hedong?"

Zhang Heng whispered: "These people in Tokyo City, all ghosts and elves, don't know how many twists and turns in their hearts. You taught them this method, and they won't get a penny!"

Wang Song thought for a moment and said softly: "Now it's for survival!" You don't see that there are people starving to death everywhere on the streets, so let's accumulate some virtue!"

Zhang Heng shook his head, turned and walked away.

Liu Tao walked over, pointed to the honeycomb coal, and asked, "General Wang, what do you say is good about this thing you made, is it really better than coal?"

Wang Song nodded and replied: "Liu Xianggong, my honeycomb coal with a special stove, firstly, it can save 20% of the charcoal, and secondly, when it is burned, it can save half of the charcoal." Finally, as long as you change the honeycomb coal on time and make a fire, it can be used for several months or even a year. ”

"So easy to use!"

Liu Tao bent down and looked at the stove carefully, his face full of puzzlement. After thinking for a moment, he straightened up.

"General Wang is really well-read, and he knows a lot of things! These miracles are obscene and indecent, and they will not be able to survive in the next life!"

"Liu Xianggong, you are wrong!"

Wang Song smiled: "This is not called miracle and obscenity, this is called the wisdom of the people!" There is no trivial matter related to people's livelihood, and the people have this stove and honeycomb coal, which can save a lot of effort, whether it is cooking, boiling tea, heating, or saving money, it is of great benefit!"

"General Wang, you are quick to think and have a good mouth, how can the old man talk about you!"

Liu Tao also smiled: "But what you said is good!" In the past, Zhuge Kongming also made wooden oxen and horses, but there are some comparisons between the two of you. ”

Wang Song shook his head and said, "Liu Xianggong, it's too famous!" If you play the piano at the head of the city, you can scare away the Jurchens outside the city, then you can catch up with Prime Minister Zhuge in case. You and I can only do our best now, and then die!"

"Do your best, and then die!"

Liu Tao exclaimed: "General Wang's words are good! Now the city of Tokyo is in distress and isolation, and it is isolated from China and the rest of the world, and it can only wait for help, and then die!"

"The gold thief just wants to rely on the weather and food to trap us in the city!"

Wang Song remembered his only specialty, gunpowder, and couldn't help but think about it.

He turned his head and asked, "Liu Xianggong, is there a workshop in the city to create "ten thousand enemies"?"

Liu Tao said with a smile: "General Wang still doesn't know much about the imperial court. In the entire city of Tokyo, only the Ordnance Supervisor can create "10,000 enemies". Why, do you want some enemies too?"

Wang Song nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I have this intention in Xia, let's see if we can think of some way to kill and injure a large number of Jin people, so as to make the situation in Tokyo City turn around!"

The door of the ordnance supervisor slowly opened, and the mountains of materials piled up inside made Wang Song stunned for a long time.

Mountains of arrows, armor, brimstone, wood toner, saltpeter, ......

With so many supplies, not only Wang Song was dumbfounded, but the sergeants below also widened their eyes. It is worthy of the national reserves, the imperial court treasury, and the number of military materials, which is really jaw-dropping.

Wang Song shook his head slightly, so many materials, once they are all assembled, it is enough for the Jurchens to drink a pot.

"Brothers, start your hands, and when the time comes, you have to look good!"

Liu Tao hesitated and said: "General Wang, even if you create a "10,000 enemies", what can you do, if Fanzi besieges the city and defends it, Tokyo City can't be defended for two months, what should happen at that time?"

Wang Song nodded and said, "It's man-made!" In the next to create a group of 10,000 enemies, that is, the earth-shaking thunder, there is always a way to let Fanzi drink a pot!"

The various materials in the warehouse are huge, as long as there is a heaven-shattering thunder, even if the Jurchen army is thousands of troops, he will dare to fight a field battle with the Jin people.

Zhao Huan was reviewing the official documents in the Rui Si Palace, and when he saw the amount of charcoal consumed on it, he couldn't help frowning.

"What is this Wang Song doing? Why did you have to go so much coal at once? Didn't he know that there was a shortage of firewood in Tokyo, and I demolished Banzai Mountain and other palaces in the summer to keep warm by fire? What a daredevil!"

The eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, General Wang said that he wants to use this coal to make briquettes, as long as he makes a fire for the first time, there will be no more trouble in the future." And he also said that this kind of use can save half of the charcoal, twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Oh, Wang Song said that?"

Zhao Huan couldn't help but shake his head. If someone else said this, he would not believe it. But when it came to this beloved general who rescued the city of Tokyo, he was really a little skeptical.

"Go down and inquire again, and see how the new objects made by Wang Song are, is it really as he said?"

The eunuch hurried out, Zhao Huan thought for a while, and said secretly, I'm afraid that Wang Song and his subordinate generals will have to think about their official positions.

His eyes fell on the official positions agreed upon by the two government secretaries and the Privy Council, and Zhao Huan couldn't help but shake his head.

Wang Song made such a great achievement, it turned out to be just a signing of the Privy Council, or Zhang Shuye automatically let Xian, which made him quite dissatisfied.

In fact, the signing of the Privy Council is already a very good minister, but it is from the second grade. However, Zhao Huan's whole mind was on Wang Song, and the others couldn't get into his eyes.

Why do these guys who are vegetarian and full of bad water have to get along with Wang Song, can it be said that Wang Song is really blocking their path to promotion?

"Your Majesty, He Xiang and Sun Xiang, as well as the old general Liu Tao, Uncle Zhang, and a few people, are waiting outside the door now."

The guards came to report, Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Call a few of them in."

He Li, Sun Fu, Liu Tao, and Zhang Shuye entered the main hall, all of them uneasy.

Liu Tao lost his troops in Hedong and returned defeated. He Li and the three of them made a heavenly soldier and a general, and almost destroyed the city and the country, so everyone has their own thoughts.

Zhao Huan saw the four ministers standing at the imperial table, silent, and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, you came to find me, what are you talking about?"

Although their eyes are facing each other, they look at each other, and then bow together for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the old ministers came here because they wanted Your Majesty to establish the official positions of Wang Song and others as soon as possible, and to divide the edict into seals, so as not to chill everyone's hearts and be detrimental to Tokyo's defense!"

Before He Li's words fell, Liu Tao also said loudly: "Your Majesty, in the autumn of the country's survival, we must be careful, and we must not let the loyal and righteous people feel aggrieved because of the people in the court."

Zhao Huan was stunned. I thought that these four people were interceding for themselves, but they didn't expect that their topics were all transferred to Wang Song and the Zhongyi Army, and it seemed that they were here to ask Wang Song and others to intercede.

"What the hell happened, and why did you say that?"

Zhao Huan couldn't help but sit up straight, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully.

"Your Majesty, there are many ministers in the court who are dissatisfied with Wang Song, and they do everything possible to prevent Wang Song from entering the palace and ranking in the court. Now the hearts of the loyal soldiers are fluctuating, and the soldiers are full of complaints, feeling that the court is unfair to them, and if this continues, the walls of Tokyo City will be in danger!"

Liu Tao's words are sincere, and the expression on his face is by no means a joke.

He has been staying with Wang Song these days, and the situation in the army is not far from ten, and he also knows the thoughts of the generals in the loyal army.

If it drags on like this, the research costs will fly all over the sky, and Wang Song will be constrained step by step, and it will be difficult to ensure that these people will not make trouble.

Zhao Huan's face was solemn and he nodded slightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I understand what you are saying!"

Zhao Huan stood up and said loudly: "Wang Song is loyal, and I know this. The Great Wall of the Loyal and Righteous Military State will surely give justice to the warriors. ”

He glanced at the fold, muttered for a moment, and said:

"Qing Jiazuo asked Wang Song to sign the Privy Council, why not seal him as the Privy Councillor and deal with the northern border affairs. Sun Xiang, how about you come to serve as the Privy Councillor?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, originally everyone mentioned the second grade, but Zhao Huan wanted to do it in one step, directly the second grade, Sun Fu wanted to lower it instead, and became Wang Song's subordinate.

Sun Fu raised his head and saw that the emperor was looking at him coldly, cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and he hurriedly bowed:

"Your Majesty is wise, the minister has nothing to say, the minister obeys the order!"

Zhao Huan smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "The four Qing families are so noble, the previous things are written off, you and I should work together to get through this difficult time in front of us!"

The four of them were all wide in their hearts, and they bowed together.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Huan nodded slightly, and the four of them hurriedly said goodbye and withdrew from the Rui Si Palace.

"He Xiang, I didn't expect Your Majesty to love Wang Song so much, it seems that you and I are too worried!"

Uncle Zhang said as he walked at night, his face full of excitement.

"I said Sun Xiang, Wang Song went directly from the first Bai Ding to the second grade, he is simply happy to descend from the sky, so the military heart of the loyal and righteous army should also settle down."

"It's a pity that Sun Xiang wants to do Wang Song's attack, which is too incredible!"

Sun Fu shook his head and said gloomily: "Wang Song deserves to serve as the Tongzhi Academy. With him leading the soldiers to continue to defend the city, the city of Tokyo will be safe!"

Others were also speechless. Who made his performance so clumsy that he was no longer qualified to argue with the emperor.
