Chapter 286: Brotherhood and Brotherhood

The world is as big as the heart. How big the dream is, how far away is life. Zhang Zhongjian looked at the brightly lit Chen Jiabao and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Zhongjian is actually an ambitious person, he sincerely interacts with heroes and heroes from all walks of life, but his background is too low, and no family and wealthy families are willing to help him and follow him. Although he has tens of millions of works, he died for him. However, they were not satisfied.

When he first built Purple Island, Zhang Zhongjian wanted to use it as a base to establish Zhang's 10,000-year foundation.

After seeing the Fusang Continent with his own eyes, he found that it was an incomparably rich land, not to mention Zhuzi Island, even if it was ten Wa Kingdoms, it was not as good as the Fusang Continent.

Zhang Zhongjian's heart began to liven, and the most important thing was that Zhang Zhongjian did not tell Chen Ying that the armed forces of the Fusang Continent were very weak. The elite under Zhang Zhongjian's command is actually far inferior to the Tang Army's well-equipped, and its combat effectiveness is even less comparable, because Zhang Zhongjian once fought with the sailors under Lin Shihong's command and suffered a small loss.

However, Lin Shihong was obviously not ranked in the dust and smoke of the 36th Road and the 72nd Road in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, so Zhang Zhongjian withdrew from the Central Plains and withdrew from this competition.

He was not afraid of all the hardships, crossed the ocean, and found the seeds that Chen Ying needed for Chen Ying, so he naturally wanted the equipment in Chen Ying's hands.

He knew that although these things were precious, they were far less expensive than the equipment in Chen Ying's hands, especially the armor and blades in Chen Ying's hands, which were the second life of soldiers.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhongjian also got two ships of gold and silver from the Fusang Mainland, worth millions of yuan, of which more than 30% was gold, and the remaining 70% was silver.

When Chen Ying fell asleep in a daze, Zhang Zhongjian didn't have time to speak.

Zhang Zhongjian's eyes quietly looked at Chen Jiabao's personal guards, Zhang Zhongjian's eyes were like an old bachelor who had not touched a woman in prison for 20 years, and when he saw the best beauty, he showed a wolf-like glow.

The armor equipped by Chen Ying's backyard attendants was not the same as the armor of the standard soldiers, and the curved breastplate, shoulder armor, and shin armor made of large steel plates were extremely thick, and even if they were shot at close range with bows and arrows, it was difficult to lose a single bit; The rest of the parts are connected with nail pieces, one on top of the other, one on top of the other, a few of which are damaged, as long as it is replaced, it can be used again! Since the cuirass and shin armor were made of large steel plates, the number of carapace leaves was much less, and the weight was relatively much lower.

Zhang Zhongjian knew what the defensive ability of this armor was. But in front of Chen Ying, when he pretended to be curious, with Chen Ying's permission, he stepped forward and reached out to touch this kind of armor.

Zhang Zhongjian is very confident in his kung fu. Even the hardest skull in the human body can't withstand the power of Zhang Zhongjian's fingers, even if it is an armor made of rhinoceros leather, he can poke a hole with one finger, but he didn't expect that this kind of armor under Chen Ying's command is actually so strong.

Once his subordinates are equipped with this kind of armor, they can completely dispossess the wild men of the Fusang Continent who are still using bronze arrowheads.

Zhang Zhongjian didn't know that this was Chen Ying's upgraded version of the Mingguang armor, imitating the Song Dynasty's Buren Armor, the weight of the Song Dynasty Buren Armor was nearly fifty catties, which was extremely heavy, and it was difficult to shoot through unless it was with a divine arm bow. It was one of the best armors of that era, and its whole body was firmly covered in it, only two eye sockets were exposed, which could be described as invulnerable.

But the problem is that it is so heavy that ordinary soldiers wear such armor and don't have to fight, they are tired to death! The heavily armored soldiers of the Song army, all of them are tall and brave, the treatment is extremely generous, and the training is also extremely strict, all year round, unless it is a war, they are honestly staying in the camp to work hard, once they go into battle, they will be like a dam made of steel in front of the enemy, pick up a giant axe weighing more than ten or twenty pounds, and split the heavy armor of the enemy army with armor, Khitans, Jurchens, Tanguts, Mongols...... How many barbarians who are famous for their bravery have been under the giant axe of the Song army, and there are no corpses!

Chen Ying's generals will be in accordance with Chen Ying's intentions, the Bu Ren Jia will be built, of course, this Bu Ren Jia is not the kind of Bu Ren Jia of the Song Dynasty, but made of high manganese steel, the hardness is nearly forty percent higher than that of high carbon steel, and the weight is half lighter.

Originally, Chen Ying was going to think of a set of people and take this ironclad army to dominate the world, it must be spectacular! It's just that when he was in the Western Regions, with the advent of the hydraulic giant stamping machine, a more concise plate armor appeared, compared with the infantry armor, the plate armor was lighter in weight, the defense was stronger, and the key was that it was easy to build, and the birth speed was fast, if in the Hami River or the Yilie River in the summer, when the river was rapid, a press could produce thousands of sets of this plate armor a day.

Zhang Zhongjian suddenly heard messy footsteps behind him, and followed the sound, only to see Chen Ying staggering drunk.

Zhang Zhongjian greeted him and said, "Brother Chen, you're fine!" ”

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "No, it's blown by the wind, and it's a little up." Let's go back to the house and talk! ”

Zhang Zhongjian nodded.

The two returned to the warm pavilion together, at this time the warm pavilion was as warm as spring, Chen Ying was lying lazily on the soft couch, looking at Zhang Zhongjian with a smile and said, "Brother Zhang, didn't you take a fancy to those armors?" ”

In fact, as Chen Ying finished building the Mingguang armor and the step armor, and now the latest plate armor has also appeared, he kind of wants to clear the armor in stock. After all, the most difficult thing about steel is rust, once the corrosion is too severe, even if the armor has not been used, it can only be scrapped, otherwise it is not responsible for the lives of the soldiers.

Zhang Zhongjian nodded and said, "I do mean it, but I don't know what Brother Chen's armor is, what is the price?" ”

Chen Yingdao: "If you buy it on the market, a pair of stainless steel Mingguang armor needs at least three hundred yuan, and there is no market!" ”

Zhang Zhongjian nodded, after all, Chen Ying did not lie, this is the truth, it is a felony to hide armor privately, even if it is a pair of armor on the black market, it will be speculated to sky-high prices, the key is that you can't buy a lot of goods if you have money.

Chen Yingdao: "Of course, if you buy raw materials from outside, it must be too expensive to frighten to death, but fortunately, whether it is a craftsman or steel, it is our own, so the cost is greatly reduced." Such a pair of armor is only one hundred and twenty. ”

Zhang Zhongjian grinned like a toothache, one pair was one hundred and twenty yuan, and this hundred pairs of heavy armor ate him 12,000 yuan. 10,000 sets is 1.2 million pieces, which is too scary! No wonder the number of hoplites is so small, even if there are people, they can't make so much armor!

Zhang Zhongjian gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Chen, I only have about one million pieces of gold and silver in my hands, and these seeds can be regarded as a gift for my brother to give you, and I can order eight thousand sets of heavy armor for my brother at a time......."

Without waiting for Zhang Zhongjian to finish speaking, Chen Ying interrupted Zhang Zhongjian's words and said: "These seeds were obtained by Brother Zhang through great hardship, and in order to get these seeds, Brother Zhang also lost hundreds of brothers, and these brothers also need to settle down, so let's rely on our brothers' friendship, I will give you 10,000 sets of Datang Mingguang armor......"

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Zhongjian hurriedly got up, grabbed Chen Ying's hand and said: "Brother Chen, you brother, I didn't say it, if you can use Zhang's place in the future, despite the squeak, if Zhang frowns, it will be raised by the little maid!" ”

Of course, Zhang Zhongjian didn't know that 10,000 sets of Mingguang armor worth millions of guan were prepared by Chen Ying, and he didn't know what important role these seeds Zhang Zhongjian brought back had for Huaxia and Datang.

Corn, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and especially potatoes are not only important sources of starch for later generations, but also a key factor in China's ability to feed 22 percent of the world's population with 7 percent of the world's arable land.

Chen Ying took these crops and acted as crops cultivated by the Tang Royal Industrial University, which would promote the status of the Tang Dynasty's industrial cause to a very high status, and with this great invention, Chen Ying was enough to rank among the agricultural saints and be supported by all the people.

Chen Ying said solemnly: "Brother Zhang, I have to talk about the ugly things ahead, these equipment can be given to Brother Zhang, but Brother Zhang must not be used in Datang, otherwise Chen will be a sinner through the ages!" ”

Zhang Zhongjian laughed and said: "Brother Chen, you are too worried, I have already decided, in the future, I will develop in the Fusang Continent, this time when I come back, I will prepare, gather the seventy-two islands, all the men and ships, and sail thousands of sails to Fusang!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Ying was also taken aback and asked, "Brother Zhang is really ready to take root in Fusang?" ”

"Why not?" Zhang Zhongjian said with a natural face: "Didn't you still want me to go to Fusang before, but at that time I thought that Fusang was just a wild place, and it was not worth spending time and energy at all, but now after seeing the Americas with my own eyes, I found that it is a rich land, not to mention the Tsukushi Island where I am staying now, even if it is ten Japanese countries, it is not as good as the Americas, why don't I go to such a good place?" ”

Chen Ying was also dumbfounded by Zhang Zhongjian's series of words, at the beginning he did have the intention to use Zhang Zhongjian, a trend-setter, as a pathfinder, and fooled him to Fusang, so as not to cause chaos to the Tang Dynasty, but at that time the two had no feelings, and now although Chen Ying does not completely regard Zhang Zhongjian as his brother, at least he is also a friend, and his perspective is different, and his views are naturally different.

Chen Ying saw Zhang Zhongjian's resolute attitude, so he smiled and said: "In this way, Chen wishes Brother Zhang what he wants!" ”

Zhang Zhongjian said: "Brother Chen, why don't we join forces together?" As long as our brothers go to the Fusang Continent together, within a few years, the land of the Fusang Continent will definitely surrender at the feet of our brothers! ”

Chen Ying's eyes became deep, his tone was a little low, and he said lightly: "Let's talk about this later!" ”

……

In the Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace, Li Yuan coughed again and again, and his spirit was extremely poor. After all, he was nearly sixty years old, and he was blown by the cold wind all night, and he was both worried and afraid, and after the change in Xuanwumen, he fell ill.

Pei Lin walked into the Manna Palace.

Li Yuan, who was lying on the bed, beckoned Pei Lin to come over, and Li Yuan smiled bitterly: "Finally, someone has come to talk to me."

Pei Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty still has to relax." ”

"Relax? Erlang's rebel son, manipulating power tricks, is just a trick to deceive the world and steal his name. Li Yuan said indignantly: "In addition to slashing people with a knife, he doesn't have any strategy for governing the country." Fortunately, if he succeeds, my Li family's eternal inheritance will definitely be completely destroyed by him, and he will become the second Emperor Yang of Sui. ”

Pei Lin was silent, listening to Li Yuan venting there.

After a while, Li Yuan finished venting, looked at Pei Lin and asked, "What is the prince doing now?" Are you busy cleaning the Qin Palace? Adjust the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five prisons? ”

Pei Lin shook his head and said: "No, the prince is just promoted to the old minister as the chief secretary, Zhao Guogong, Zhongshu Ling Feng Deyi, worship Shangshu right servant shot!" The other ministers didn't move, but all of them served as subordinate officials of the East Palace! ”

Li Yuan was stunned and said: "He didn't promote Wei Zheng and Wang Qi into the three provinces and six ministries to observe politics?" ”

Pei Lin shook his head and said, "No!" ”

"There are capable people around the prince!" Li Yuan sighed and said, "Do you know why I didn't change King Qin to be the crown prince?" Once King Qin becomes the crown prince, the crown prince, the king of Qi and none of my heirs want to live, the second child is poisoned! ”

……

In the head of Dali Temple, Li Jiancheng's face was distorted, and he glared at Fang Xuanling viciously, unable to say a word.

Fang Xuanling said more aggressively: "The prince is here with a good look, how can Fang Mou murder the prince?" Fang himself is the chief of the Qin Mansion, a vassal of the King of Qin, and the two countries are fighting, each with its own master! ”

Li Jiancheng was about to roar at Fang Xuanling irritably, but when he saw Fang Xuanling's disdainful eyes, he remembered Wei Zheng's explanation, and he forced his temper back.

Li Jiancheng sneered and said: "Hello, no wonder Dai Xuan and Wei Ting can't deal with you, the great sin was wiped clean by your words, so you don't have any crime, but the guilty one is me, the prince?"

Fang Xuanling sneered, and said with no concern: "Actually, things are not so troublesome, the prince and the king of Qin are competing for the treasure, each relying on his own ability and using his own means." ”

The corners of Li Jiancheng's mouth twitched.

Fang Xuanling continued: "As the saying goes, the prince who becomes a prince and the loser is a grass coward, but that's just the case!"

Li Jiancheng gritted his back molars and sneered: "What you said is so right, so you are just a grass coward." ”

Fang Xuanling still had a tepid and indifferent attitude, shook the chains on his hands, and looked at Li Jiancheng with even more contempt: "That's right, so, now that the power of the court is in the hands of His Highness, the rules must be set by His Highness, and it is just a matter of raising his hands, what is there to say?" Fang was born in a family of eunuchs and thrived in troubled times, what else can't you understand? Why did His Highness call Fang Mou here again to pretend to be just? No matter how clever Your Highness's methods are, can you cover the eyes of the people of the world? ”

Li Jiancheng walked murderously in front of Fang Xuanling and shouted: "You are so stubborn, do you know that you have put the whole family in a place of death?" ”

Fang Xuanling's expression suddenly turned cold, and he also glared at Li Jiancheng and said: "When Fang Mou practiced the art of ** king, he was reminded by his teacher that those who practiced this technique were ranked among the three dukes, showing off the Taige, or they were defeated and died, and the disaster of the nine clans was destroyed, Fang Mou had already expected it......"

Li Jiancheng said: "You are so ruthless to your family, you Fang Xuanling can really be described as the most cruel person in the world!" ”

Fang Xuanling arched his hand casually and said: "Don't dare to be, Fang Mou asked himself if he was not as good as His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Li Jiancheng sneered: "You are not a good man and a woman, are you?" How have His Royal Highness the King of Qin, whom you have assisted, treated me over the years? The palace is working hard in the rear, working hard, and always forgetting to be in the ears of his father, offering slander, and trying his best to sow discord, hundreds of thousands of unjust souls in Hebei, tens of thousands of dead souls in Jianghuai, and Yang Wengan are full of old and young, thousands of generals, and it is your handwriting! ”

Fang Xuanling was actually wronged, and this was all Du Yan's handwriting.

However, he disdains to explain.

Li Jiancheng roared indignantly: "I shed blood and sweat for the Tang Dynasty, he put my cold arrow behind his back for the emperor's throne, with no conscience, this is Erlang's brotherhood, brotherly righteousness?" ”

Fang Xuanling stared at Li Jiancheng without saying a word.

Li Jiancheng was stunned and said, "Why don't you speak?" How not to deny the refutation? ”

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the truth, why should I refute it?" I can't do it with my eyes open and talking nonsense! ”

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he was choked by Fang Xuanling. I didn't know how to speak.

At this time, Wei Zheng entered Shi Ran from the lobby and said with a smile: "Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng is polite!" ”
