It seemed that Wang Shiyang was worried that he didn't believe what he said, so Mr. Qian handed over a set of winter clothes that were only issued yesterday.

Wang Shiyang took the winter coat over, weighed it, and knew what kind of goods this thing was.

But he still had a trace of luck, so he took off his military uniform, put on this military uniform, opened the tent, a cold wind blew, and Lao Wang directly took a few steps back and retracted into the military tent.

Awkward, awkward, very awkward.

"Bring a few more sets."

Lao Wang gave an order, and Mr. Qian had to go and get a few more sets of soldiers' uniforms, and Lao Wang wore three pieces on his body and wrapped them tightly, so that he could barely stand the wind and cold outside.

"The military uniform photos will be issued three times, and 30,000 sets will be sent to the most elite 10,000 troops first, so that they can set off for Yanmen Pass and Pingxing Pass to support, and the rest of the governors will naturally find a way!"

Wang Shiyang could only respond like this, and the attaché around him immediately wanted to go back to do it, but Mr. Qian stopped the attaché.

Looking at Wang Shiyang's puzzled eyes, Mr. Qian stubbornly said: "Supervisor, you can barely wear three pieces of clothes, and you can't wear three pairs of shoes, these shoes are worn to run outside, and the body is not cold, but the feet are about to be frozen, the feet are frozen, and you can't run at all. ”

Wang Shiyang's face became even worse.

"Send some cloth from the treasury that cannot be used temporarily, and let the soldiers wrap their feet with cloth to keep warm.

Mr. Qian sighed and promised.

After tossing for two more hours, there were only 10,000 bloated soldiers outside Taiyuan City slowly walking towards Yanmen Pass and Pingxing Pass, Wang Shiyang rode on a war horse and watched the staggering steps of these soldiers, deeply worried, just at this time a cold wind blew, and his hand holding the reins was blown painfully, and he quickly shrank into the brocade robe to warm up.

If a soldier's hands are not warm, and if it is too cold to hold a weapon, then how can he fight?

Wang Shiyang had no choice but to pray for God's mercy and let the weather not get colder anymore, and at the same time hoped that the imperial court would come to help as soon as possible, with food and enough warm clothes.

The only thing that can make him happy is that it is not raining, and it is even very dry, in this case, it does not matter if the soldiers make fires and use firearms, there are a large number of firearms and equipment in Yanmen Pass and Pingxing Pass, and there are many artillery pieces on the city, with these firearms, it should be able to stop those Mongols for a while.

Wang Shiyang thought so, but Wei Yunzhen didn't think so, at this moment, in the arsenal of Yanmen Pass, Wei Yunzhen looked at a column of seventeen bombed bird guns in front of him, and seventeen soldiers who were seriously injured by the blown birds, and his face was extremely ugly.

"Why do these birds blow up as soon as they are used? Don't you have a little explanation for Benfu?! Seventeen soldiers did not die at the hands of the Mongols, but at the hands of our own birds! What the hell is going on?! ”

Wei Yunzhen stared at the arsenal officials who were kneeling down, looking at these arsenal officials with panicked faces, and the killing intent in her heart could hardly be suppressed.

"Futai! Futai Mingjian! These birds are all sent by the Ministry of Industry to the warehouse, and we have never moved the slightest bit since we entered the warehouse! These bird guns are not popular at all in the Northland, the soldiers don't like to use them, and the quality is so poor, even if we want to fill our own pockets, we can't sell them at the price, Futai! Futai Mingjian! ”

The head of the arsenal knelt in front of Wei Yunzhen, and the snot and tears on his face were sticking together, which was very disgusting.

"Poor quality? It's been four years since I was governor of Shanxi, why haven't you ever reported it?! ”

Wei Yunzhen scolded, what he hates most is these bastards who usually don't say anything and drop the chain when they need to use it, the existence of these lazy political officials has caught him off guard repeatedly, and he was hit by an arrow while lying down, this time it's still the same!

"Futai Mingjian! These firearms have been like this since the Jiajing period, Xia Guan has been in the arsenal for 12 years, and every year he has sent more than half of the good firearms and other firearms, it is a miracle that more than half of the good products can be used, basically only 30% of the good products, and the lower officials have also reported from time to time at the beginning, but there is no news, and after that, the Xia Guan has not continued to report. ”

The head of the arsenal was a clerk, who had no merit and no promotion, and in such a situation, there was no reply, so he naturally became lazy and sluggish, and he did not continue to report to his superiors, because he knew very well that even if he did, there would be no result.

Wei Yunzhen took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed her anger.

"Didn't the army use firearms in the past drills? When Ben Fu ordered the military exercise, there was no army to use firearms? ”

"Yes, but very few, the wind is strong in the north, the cavalry of the Mongols is fast, it is difficult to release the birds, it is not easy to operate, there is no basis and the generals like to use it, few generals have firearms, at most some artillery, but the artillery is often blown up, and now the soldiers would rather use bows and crossbows than firearms."

"Why has Ben Fu never heard of the bombing?"

"Because since the Jiajing period, firearm explosions have been the norm, and it is not uncommon at all, so it has not been reported, because everyone is used to it."

Wei Yunzhen rubbed her temples, feeling extremely irritable.

With a wave of his hand, he asked his subordinates to take the seventeen seriously wounded soldiers out for treatment, and walked around the arsenal a few times, seeing some shocking firearms.

At that touch, the barrel of the gun was broken, and if you look closely, the rust is not in shape, some of the barrels are shoddy, and the passes are not round, there are oval, and even square, and there are a lot of crooked ones, which cannot be used at all, and it is no wonder that the guns are often blown up.

The firearms issued by the imperial court were so shoddy, and he, the governor, did not care about it for four years, which has to be said to be his own great dereliction of duty.

One threw a bird gun on the ground, and the bird gun immediately shattered into three pieces.

At present, the Mongols are attacking the city very fiercely, and the arrows in the arsenal are not sufficient, so I wanted to use firearms to resist for a while, after all, the power of gunpowder is still very great, Wei Yunzhen heard the news that Xiao Ruxun used firearms to break the Japanese in North Korea, and he had a better view of firearms, but he never thought that this firearm would make him so sad and disappointed.

"Are there any firearms available right now?"

"Yes, but not much."

"Take it all out, use it first!"

"No!"

The officers of the arsenal immediately began to set up.

Outside the city, the deafening explosion was endless, Wei Yunzhen looked at the wall of the city not far away, looking at the place where the killing sound shook the sky, and his heart was extremely worried.

Suddenly, a large fireball exploded over the city, and Wei Yunzhen was shocked.

"What's going on here?!"

The man he sent to check the news had not gone far before he ran back with another soldier with a dark face, and when he came, he hurriedly said, "Futai! There was a cannon in the city that blew up the chamber, detonating three barrels of gunpowder around it, partially damaging the city walls, and the soldiers suffered heavy damage! ”

Damn it!

Wei Yunzhen's face changed, and she immediately got on her horse and rushed to Guancheng.
