Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 873
Chapter [-] Brotherhood and Brotherhood

How big the heart is, how big the world is.How big is the dream, and how far is life.Looking at the brightly lit Chenjiabao, Zhang Zhongjian fell into deep thought.

Zhang Zhongjian is actually an ambitious person. He sincerely associates with heroes from all walks of life. However, his background is too low, and no aristocratic family and wealthy family are willing to help him and follow him.Although he has tens of thousands of pieces, he died for him.However, I am not satisfied.

When planning to build Zidao, Zhang Zhongjian wanted to use it as a base to establish the Zhang family's long-term foundation.

After seeing the Fusang Continent with my own eyes, I found that it is an extremely rich land, not to mention Chikushi Island, even the ten Japanese countries are not as good as the Fusang Continent.

Zhang Zhongjian's heart began to become active. One of the most important things was that Zhang Zhongjian did not tell Chen Ying that the armed forces in the Fusang mainland were very weak.The elite under Zhang Zhongjian's command was actually far inferior to the well-equipped Tang army, and their combat effectiveness was even worse, because Zhang Zhongjian once fought against the navy under Lin Shihong's command and suffered a small loss.

However, Lin Shihong rebelled against the king on the 36th road at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and he obviously could not be ranked in the dust and smoke of the 72nd road, so Zhang Zhongjian withdrew from the Central Plains and this competition.

He was not afraid of untold hardships, traveled across the ocean, and found the seeds that Chen Ying needed for Chen Ying. Naturally, he 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 weapons in Chen Ying's hands, which were the second lives of soldiers.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhongjian also obtained two shipments of gold and silver from the Fusang Continent, worth millions of guan, of which more than [-]% was gold, and the remaining [-]% was silver.

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

From the corner of Zhang Zhongjian's eyes, he quietly looked at the guards of Chenjiabao. Zhang Zhongjian's eyes were like an old bachelor who had been in prison for 20 years and hadn't touched a woman.

The armor equipped by Chen Ying's backyard attendants is different from that of standard soldiers. The curved breastplate, shoulder armor, and greaves made of large steel plates are extremely thick, and they are difficult to damage even if they are shot at close range with bows and arrows. The rest of the parts are connected by nail pieces, one on top of the other, one on top of the other, and some of them are damaged, as long as they are replaced, they can continue to be used!Since the breastplate and greaves are made of large steel plates, the number of nail leaves is much less, and the weight is also relatively reduced.

Zhang Zhongjian was well aware of the defensive capabilities of this armor.However, in front of Chen Ying, pretending to be curious, with Chen Ying's permission, he reached out and touched the armor. A light imprint is left on it, which has no effect on anything.

Zhang Zhongjian is very confident in his own kung fu.Even the hardest skull in the human body cannot withstand the force of Zhang Zhongjian's finger. Even if it is an armor made of rhinoceros leather, he can poke a hole with his finger, but he never thought that this kind of armor under Chen Ying's command would be so powerful. tough.

Once the parts under his command are equipped with this kind of armor, they will be completely free from the savages in the Fusang mainland who are still using bronze arrowheads.

Zhang Zhongjian didn't know that this was Chen Ying's upgraded version of the Mingguang Armor. It was modeled after the Song Dynasty's Burenjia. The Song Dynasty's Burenjia weighed nearly [-] catties. It was extremely heavy. have to wear.It can be regarded as one of the armors with the best defensive capabilities in that era. The whole body is firmly covered inside, with only two eye sockets exposed, so it can be said to be invulnerable.

But the problem is that it is too heavy. The general soldiers don't need to fight after wearing such an armor, they are exhausted to death!The heavily armored soldiers of the Song Army are all tall, strong and brave, with extremely generous treatment and strict training. Throughout the year, unless it is a war, they will stay in the camp honestly and work hard. Once they go into battle, they will It will lie in front of the enemy like a dam made of steel, swinging a huge ax weighing more than ten to twenty catties, and splitting the enemy's heavily armored men and armor, both men and armor. , Jurchens, Xixia people, Mongols... how many barbarian warriors who were known for their bravery and bravery once flew flesh and blood under the giant ax of the Song army, and died without a whole body!

According to Chen Ying's intention, Chen Ying's General Zuoying built the infantry armor. Of course, this infantry armor is not the infantry armor of the Song Dynasty, but made of high manganese steel, which is harder than high carbon steel. It has increased by nearly [-]%, but the weight is fully reduced by half.

Originally, Chen Ying planned to have a set of people, and lead this armored army across the world, it must be very spectacular!It’s just that in the Western Regions, with the appearance of hydraulic giant punching machines, simpler plate armor appeared. Compared with infantry armor, plate armor is lighter in weight and stronger in defense. If the Hami River or the Ille River were flooded in summer, one stamping machine could produce thousands of sets of this plate armor in a day.

Zhang Zhongjian suddenly heard the sound of messy footsteps behind him, followed the sound, and saw Chen Ying staggering towards him.

Zhang Zhongjian went up to meet him and said, "Brother Chen, are you alright?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "It can't be done, the wind blows it up a bit. Let's go back to the room and talk!"

Zhang Zhongjian nodded.

The two of them went back to the Nuan Pavilion hand in hand, it was as warm as spring in the Nuan Pavilion at this time, Chen Ying lay lazily on the soft couch, looked at Zhang Zhongjian with a smile and said: "Could it be that Brother Zhang has taken a fancy to those armors?"

In fact, after Chen Ying finished building the Mingguang armor and stepping armor, and now the latest plate armor appeared, he wanted to clear out the armor in stock.After all, the most difficult thing about steel is rust. Once the corrosion is too severe, even unused armor can only be scrapped, otherwise it will be irresponsible for the lives of the soldiers.

Zhang Zhongjian nodded and said, "Indeed, I'm interested, but I don't know what the price of Brother Chen's armor is?"

Chen Yingdao: "If you buy it in the market, a pair of fine steel Mingguang armor will cost at least three hundred guan, and the price is not available!"

Zhang Zhongjian nodded. After all, Chen Ying did not lie. This is the truth. Possession of armor is a felony. Even a pair of armor on the black market will cost sky-high prices. The key is that even if you have money, you cannot buy large quantities of goods.

Chen Yingdao: "Of course, if we buy raw materials from outside, it must be frighteningly expensive. Fortunately, both the craftsmen and the steel are our own, so the cost is greatly reduced. Such a pair of armor costs only 120 yuan. Go ahead."

Zhang Zhongjian grinned like a toothache, one pair cost 120 guan, and these one hundred pairs of heavy armor cost him 1 guan.120 sets are [-] million guan, which is too scary!No wonder there are so few hoplites. Even if there were people, they couldn't afford to build so many armors!
Zhang Zhongjian gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Chen, I only have about 100 gold and silver items in my hand. These seeds are considered as a gift for you, and I will order [-] sets of heavy armor for you..."

Before Zhang Zhongjian could finish speaking, Chen Ying interrupted Zhang Zhongjian and said: "Brother Zhang got these seeds through untold hardships, and in order to get these seeds, Brother Zhang also lost hundreds of brothers. Need to settle down, how about this, with the friendship of our brothers, I will give you [-] sets of Tang-style Mingguang armor..."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhongjian got up quickly, grabbed Chen Ying's hand and said, "Brother Chen, you brother, I don't have anything to say, if Zhang is needed in the future, just say something, if Zhang wrinkles The eyebrows are raised by the little maid!"

Of course, Zhang Zhongjian didn't know that Chen Ying was going to deal with the [-] sets of bright light armor worth millions, and he didn't even know that the seeds brought back by Zhang Zhongjian himself played an important role in China and Tang Dynasty.

Corn, sweet potato, tomato, and especially those potatoes are not only important sources of starch for future generations, but also the key factor for China to feed 20.00% of the population with [-]% of the world's arable land.

Chen Ying took these crops and acted as the crops cultivated by Datang Royal University of Technology. He would praise the status of Datang's industry to a very high position. , supported by all peoples.

Chen Ying said solemnly: "Brother Zhang, I have to start with the ugly words. These equipment can be given to Brother Zhang, but Brother Zhang is not allowed to use it in Datang, otherwise Chen will be a sinner through the ages!"

Zhang Zhongjian laughed loudly and said: "Brother Chen, you are too worried. I have already decided to develop in Fusang mainland in the future. When I come back this time, I will make preparations. I will gather all the manpower and ships on 72 Island and sail to Fusang with thousands of sails." !"

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

"Why don't you go?" Zhang Zhongjian said with a matter of course: "Didn't you still want me to go to Fusang before, but at that time I thought Fusang was just a barren land, not worth the time and effort at all, now after seeing America with my own eyes , but I found that there is an incomparably rich land, not to mention Chikushi Island where I am staying now, even ten Japanese countries are not as good as America, why don’t I go to such a good place?”

Chen Ying was also left speechless by Zhang Zhongjian's series of questions. At the beginning, he really wanted to use Zhang Zhongjian, a waver, as a wayfinding stone, and fooled him to Fusang, so as not to cause trouble for Datang. But at that time, the two had no relationship. Now Chen Ying Although he didn't completely regard Zhang Zhongjian as his brother, but at least he was also a friend. From different perspectives, the views are naturally different.

Seeing Zhang Zhongjian's firm attitude, Chen Ying said with a smile: "In this case, Mr. Chen wishes Brother Zhang to have his wish fulfilled!"

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

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 repeatedly and was in a very bad spirit.After all, he was nearly sixty years old, and he was worried and frightened by the cold wind all night. After the Xuanwu Gate incident, he fell ill.

Pei Ji walked into the Ganlu Hall.

Li Yuan lying on the bed beckoned Pei Ji to come over, Li Yuan smiled wryly: "Finally someone came to talk to me.

Pei Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty still needs to relax."

"Relax? That rebellious Erlang, manipulating power and tricks is nothing more than a trick to deceive the world." Li Yuan said angrily: "He has no idea of ​​governing the country except for beating people with a knife. Fortunately, Jiancheng is safe. If he is allowed to If he succeeds, the eternal foundation of my Li family will definitely be wiped out by him, and he will become the second Sui Yang Emperor."

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

After a while, Li Yuan finished venting, looked at Pei Ji and asked, "What is the crown prince doing now? Is he busy cleaning the Qin Palace? Adjusting three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five prisons?"

Pei Ji shook his head and said: "No, the crown prince just promoted the old minister to be the Grand Sikong, Zhao Guogong, Zhongshuling Feng Deyi, worshiping the minister's right servant and shooting! The other ministers did not move, but they all served as officials of the Eastern Palace!"

Li Yuan was stunned and said: "Did he not be promoted to Wei Zheng and Wang Gui to observe politics in three provinces and six ministries?"

Pei Ji shook his head and said, "No!"

"There are capable people around the prince!" Li Yuan sighed and said, "Do you know why I don't change King Qin to be the prince? Once King Qin becomes the prince, the prince, King Qi, and any of my heirs will not be able to live, the second child is poisonous." Let's go!"

……

In the main hall of Dali Temple, Li Jiancheng's face turned livid, and he glared at Fang Xuanling viciously, unable to say a word.

On the contrary, Fang Xuanling said even more aggressively: "The crown prince is here so well, why did Fang Mou commit the crime of murdering the crown prince? Fang Mou himself is the head of Qin Wangfu, a minister of Qin Wang, and the two countries are fighting each other. "

Li Jiancheng was about to yell at Fang Xuanling angrily, but when he saw Fang Xuanling's contemptuous eyes, he recalled Wei Zheng's explanation, and forcibly suppressed his temper.

Li Jiancheng sneered and said: "You have such a sharp mouth, no wonder Dai Zhou and Wei Ting can't deal with you. The big crime was wiped away by you with a single word. In this way, you have no crime at all. I, the prince, are the ones who are guilty?

Fang Xuanling sneered, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Actually, the matter is not so troublesome. The crown prince and the king of Qin compete for the great treasure. Each uses his own ability and method."

The corner of Li Jiancheng's mouth twitched.

Fang Xuanling continued: "As the saying goes, the winner is a prince, and the loser is a gangster, that's all it is!
Li Jiancheng gritted his molars and sneered, "You are so right, so you are nothing more than a grassroots bandit."

Fang Xuanling still had a tepid and indifferent attitude, shook off the chains on his hands, looked at Li Jiancheng even more contemptuously, and said, "That's right, so now that the power of the imperial court is in the hands of His Highness, the rules must be laid down by His Highness." Established, convicting someone is nothing more than a little effort, so what is there to say? Fang was born in a family of officials and flourished in troubled times, what else can't be understood? Why does His Highness call Fang here again? It's a hypocrisy How about showing justice? No matter how clever your Highness’s methods are, can they cover the eyes of the people in the world?”

Li Jiancheng walked up to Fang Xuanling with a murderous look and shouted, "You are so stubborn, do you know that you have put the whole family, young and old, to death?"

Fang Xuanling's expression was sharp, and he also stared at Li Jiancheng and said, "When Fang was practicing the art of becoming a king, he was reminded by his teacher that those who practiced this art would be among the three princes, be famous in the court, or lose their reputation. Death, the destruction of the nine clans, Fang has long expected..."

Li Jiancheng said: "If you are so ruthless to your family, you, Fang Xuanling, are truly the most cruel person in the world!"

Fang Xuanling cupped his hands casually and said: "Don't dare to be, Fang Mou asks himself that he is not as good as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Jiancheng sneered and said: "You are not a good man and a believer, are you? Over the years, how has your Highness the King of Qin treated me? I am working on state affairs in the rear, worrying about my heart and mind, and never forgetting to slander my father in the ear of the emperor." , Do your best to sow dissension, there are hundreds of thousands of unjust souls in Hebei, hundreds of thousands of dead souls in Jianghuai, and Yang Wengan's family, young and old, thousands of generals, and it's your handwriting!"

In fact, Fang Xuanling was wronged, it was all done by Du Yan.

However, he didn't bother to explain.

Li Jiancheng roared angrily: "I shed blood and sweat for the great Tang Dynasty, and he, for the sake of the emperor's throne, ignorant of his conscience, shot me in the back. Is this Erlang's brotherhood, brotherhood?"

Fang Xuanling stared at Li Jiancheng without saying a word.

Li Jiancheng said in amazement: "Why don't you speak? Why don't you deny and refute?"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Your Highness is telling the truth, why should I refute it? I can't tell the truth with my eyes open!"

When Li Jiancheng heard this, Fang Xuanling choked.Suddenly do not know how to speak.

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