At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the three divisions were in charge of manufacturing weapons, and there was no special officer. In the sixth year of Xining (1073), the case was abolished, the ordnance supervisor was placed, and the supervisor was judged by the attendant officer. Yuanfeng restructuring. Specialized officials such as prisoners, juvenile prisoners, and chief clerks. It belongs to the east and west workshops, and the states are in charge of making weapons, flags, tents, and other things.

Functionally speaking, the Ordnance Superintendent not only manufactures weapons, but also flags, banners, tents, and other things, and is a large-scale manufacturing workshop for military materials.

There were more than 30,000 people in the city's military weapons prison, but the Jin people went south twice and most of them have dispersed. The Great Song Dynasty basically adopted the employment system, except for officials and craftsmen, the hired workers in it were basically ordinary people. If it weren't for the lack of wages and food, I'm afraid that the people in prison would have escaped long ago.

There are ten major workshops under the ordnance supervision and supervision, one workshop for gunpowder and one workshop for firearms, and there are countless "ten thousand enemies", tribulus terrestris balls, and rocket iron shells. Wang Song touched the shell, the thickness was different, and it seemed that he had to be selected.

"If the thickness is more than one inch three, install tung oil according to the previous practice, and it will be useful when the time comes!"

In order for the Loyal and Righteous Army to defeat the Jinren, firearms are the top priority, and all kinds of methods must be used.

"Great official, there are palace people outside who have brought you a jar of hot porridge for you to drink while it's hot."

His sergeant came up and brought up a jar of hot rice porridge.

"For me?"

Wang Song was stunned, in the entire city of Tokyo, except for Zhiyuexiu, he didn't know any other women, could it be that she sent them?

Wang Song's heart was hot, and he took out a piece of silver and handed it over.

"Dare to ask this little lady, who sent this porridge?"

The maid's face turned red, and instead of accepting the silver, she gave a salute and said in a low voice: "General Wang, Emperor Roufu asked the slave to tell the general that the general is in danger of the imperial court, and the people of Tokyo City are living and dying, so you must be cautious and careful, and the general takes care!"

Wang Song had no choice but to take back the silver, and when he thought of the figure on the city wall, his heart moved.

"Little lady, there was a battle outside the Xuanhua Gate that day, but where was your master?"

The maid smiled and said in a low voice: "General Wang and the Jin people fought outside the city, and among the ten thousand armies, they showed off their might and killed thieves like hemp, and my master saw them one by one."

Wang Song's heart was bright, and he hugged his fists and said: "Then please ask the little lady to thank your master on my behalf!"

The maid left, and a group of officers quickly surrounded her.

Wang Song touched the porridge jar and said in a low voice: "Deng Shixiong, let the brothers bring some bowls, divide all the porridge in the jar, drink it while it's hot, everyone has a share."

Deng Shixiong said with a smile: "Big brother, the porridge sent by the princess herself, let's eat it, it's not good!"

Although Zhao Ji changed the name of the princess to Emperor Ji a few years ago, how could the customary title of thousands of years be changed so easily.

Wang Song's eyes rolled, and his voice raised a few degrees.

"If you don't drink it, bring it to me!"

"That can, that can!"

Deng Shixiong hurriedly scooped up the porridge, and pretended to say while scooping: "The porridge boiled by the princess is really different, it is very fragrant!"

"Don't be stupid!"

Wang Song smiled: "You don't want to think about it, will the princess make porridge herself, it's not the people below who are doing it!"

He said loudly: "You guys, what are you doing with so much, leave me a little!"

There are many people and great strength, and without five days of hard work, tens of thousands of "10,000 enemies" of different forms were placed in front of everyone. Without exception, all fuses are designed with wax seals.

Wang Song nodded, Xu Hu grabbed a "10,000 enemies" and lit it, and threw it far away, twenty or thirty meters away.

"Tong", black smoke rose up, and a broken wall in front of it collapsed, and the surrounding walls were full of iron sheets, some of which had been deeply sunk into the wall.

"General Wang, why are the "10,000 enemies" you created so powerful?"

Zhang Shuye, Liu Tao and others opened their eyes wide, surrounded the wall, and looked at it incredibly.

"There's a fire in there!"

Wang Song's face was calm, and he said eloquently: "When making this gunpowder, you need to bathe and change clothes, and be sincere and spiritual, so that you can use the heavenly fire." This is because God took pity on me Da Song, so he gave me the heavenly fire. If it doesn't work, maybe it won't work next time!"

Xu Hu and the others looked at each other. Unexpectedly, Wang Song's poetry and force are invincible, and even this ability to deceive people is also calm and calm, and he speaks so righteously and magnificently.

The two nodded frequently. Liu Tao said: "It turns out that there are really gods in the world to help!" God bless the Great Song!"

Uncle Zhang was suspicious at night, the court used the same gunpowder formula, but it was not so powerful, it could only be protected by the sky.

"Great official, the suitable iron shells of the firearms workshop have been used up. If you want to do it again, you have to ask for charcoal or charcoal. However, this person is not enough......"

Seeing Wang Song's eyes sweeping over, Zhang Shuye said categorically: "General Wang, you just have to do it, and I'll figure out a way to make charcoal."

He has seen the power of "10,000 enemies". With these things, what are you afraid of the Jurchens!

"The iron shell is made into an arc shape, and it is poured with an iron mold or a sand mold, and the thickness of the shell is between one inch and one inch three, and it cannot be higher or lower. The diameter is about one inch seven, and it doesn't matter if it's big or small. You can make a series of warp and weft lines on the shell, six horizontal and eight vertical, and 48 fragments. ”

Wang Song drew the style of the grenade in later generations and marked the approximate size on it. By the way, he also talked about the style of the iron mold and how it was constructed.

This is a well-known thing in later generations. These officials of the ordnance superintendent, especially the craftsmen, are everyone, and they can all understand it if you mention it casually.

He also has no choice, gunpowder shocks the sky and thunder, after all, the performance is much worse than that of later generations. He could only try to reduce the size of the shell of some Heaven-shattering Thunder in order to achieve a better killing effect.

The officials and craftsmen of the Ordnance Prison were dumbfounded, and then there was a lot of discussion.

Xu Shaoqing, who was in charge of the ordnance superintendent, gave a deep salute and said in a trembling voice: "General Wang is really a celestial. This method casts the "shell", which is simple and fast, and has great lethality, so I admire it!"

Uncle Zhang said in a deep voice: "Don't be too complacent yet! Let's wait until the wood is in hand!"

Since Yan Zonghan arrived in Tokyo on November 24, the road was isolated, the Jin people rode out, Kaifeng was already closed in the city, the road was impassable, and it became a besieged city.

Liu Tao shook his head and said, "Everyone is at peace." General Wang, let's go walk on the city wall. ”

Everyone went out of the Wuyue Temple, climbed the south city wall from the Nanxun Gate, and went forward.

Wang Song looked at the city wall, and saw that honeycomb coal stoves were being placed in the battle sheds, and the soldiers defending the city were baking fires next to them.

The tent is about seven feet high, and it is a movable wooden house. In doing so, the Lord can provide frontal cover if he wants to raise the height of the wall.

Wang Song couldn't help frowning secretly. Such a weak wooden house is not vulnerable to being hit by heavy objects such as trebuchets.

Everyone looked outside the city, only to see that five or six miles outside the city, the tents of the golden barracks were densely packed, and countless small villages rose one after another, enveloping the city of Tokyo tightly.

Wang Song couldn't help but feel lost. The reason why the Jin people outside the city are like this is nothing more than to take advantage of the cold weather and lack of food to make the Great Song Dynasty surrender without a fight.

If he continued to hold on like this, even if he could hold on, he would not be able to stop the fear and urgency of surrender of the emperor and the capitulation officials of the court.

The martial style of the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties, there is no trace of them in these wide robes and sitting and talking.

Even if someone "votes for death to repay the king", it is only "grabbing the earth and ears with his head", what is the benefit of the country and the family! And in their bones, they can't change their arrogance of governing the military with civility and martial arts.

Outside the city walls, the golden rangers constantly appeared on the snowfield, galloping across the horizon, and the strange screams continued. The unkempt and tattered Song people were tied up with ropes and staggered forward. From time to time, people tripped over corpses in the snow, which immediately provoked an angry shout and whipping from the Jin soldiers.

Many of the war horses of the golden soldiers are hung with burdens of different sizes, which shows that they have gained a lot. Some war horses are full of Song people's heads on their necks, and many Song women are still tied to their backs.

The Jin soldiers talked and laughed freely, and they didn't look at the Song soldiers on the city wall, so they really could be called like no one else.

On the city wall, many officers of the loyal army turned their heads, unable to bear to witness this tragic scene.

"Big official, you just let the little brother go out and kill for a while! It's a dog day!"

Zhang Heng's eyes were blood-red, as if he was about to drip blood.

"Great officials, life is fleeting. If you can die on this battlefield of killing fans, the little one will be blinded!"

Dong Ping even held the handle of the knife with both hands, and his body trembled slightly.

"Big official, you just give the order, Niu Gao is willing to be the striker!"

Niu Tong took a step forward and said loudly: "Daguan, my father and son are willing to be forwards, please give your permission!"

Zhang Xian also said in a deep voice: "I heard that Wanyan Lou is the first warrior of the Jurchens, I want to see if his neck can withstand my iron spear!"

Wu Ge, the newly appointed commander of the four walls next to him, stepped forward and said with his fists clenched: "General Wang, the old man's subordinates also have 10,000 people, although they are not as good at fighting as the loyal and righteous army, but they are all brave men of the two rivers. If you want to go out of the city to fight against the Jin people, the old man is willing to help you!"

Wang Song was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that this old general Wu was a loyal and righteous person.

"Wu is in control, so very good. You hand over the sergeants to your brothers, and they will train them uniformly, so that when you go out of the city to fight, you can reduce casualties!"

Wu Gesu bowed and said: "General Wang, this is very good! The method of training the loyal and righteous army is very admirable and eye-opening. Give them to General Wang, and the old man will be convinced!"

"Thank you Wu Commander!"

Wang Song gave a deep salute, turned his head, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, don't be impatient, and listen to me."

The generals quieted down one after another and looked at Wang Song together.

Zhang Shuye, Liu Tao and others all looked at each other. No wonder this loyal army can win battles and fight tough battles, just this group of brave and good generals who swear to die like home, there are not one or two in the forbidden army in the entire capital.

These murderous and unruly martial artists are so respectful in front of Wang Song, like children facing adults. Unexpectedly, this Wang Song ruled the army, the military discipline was strict, and he actually had the style of an ancient famous general.

"Brothers, the Jin people are so arrogant and domineering, it's because they haven't met our brothers yet!"

Wang Song said loudly: "The barbarian clan also dares to enter the house and deceive me that there is no one in China, so I will take my brothers together to kill the gold thief, and let them know what it means to pay for blood debts!"
