Chapter 286 Brotherly Love and Brotherly Meaning

The bigger your heart is, the bigger your world is. The bigger your dream is, the farther your life is. Zhang Zhongjian looked at the brightly lit Chenjiabao and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Zhongjian is actually an ambitious person. He sincerely interacted with heroes from all walks of life, but his background was too low, and no aristocratic families were willing to help him and follow him. Although he had thousands of poems and died for him, he was not satisfied.

When he first built Zidao, Zhang Zhongjian wanted to use this as a base to build the Zhang family's ten thousand-year foundation.

After seeing the Fusang continent with one's own eyes, I found that there was an extremely rich land. Not to mention building purple islands, even 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 of the Fusang continent were very weak. The elite troops under Zhang Zhongjian were actually far inferior to the Tang army's well-equipped and even less combat power, because Zhang Zhongjian had fought with the navy under Lin Shihong and suffered a small loss.

However, Lin Shihong was obviously unable to rank among the 72 dust smoke in the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty, so Zhang Zhongjian withdrew from the Central Plains and this competition.

He was not afraid of hardships and traveled across the ocean. He found the seeds that Chen Ying needed for him, 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 weapons 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 continent, worth one million chunks, of which more than 30% of the gold was silver.

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

The light of Zhang Zhongjian's eyes quietly looked at the guards of Chenjiabao. Zhang Zhongjian's eyes were like an old bachelor who had been squatting in prison for twenty years and had not touched a woman. He saw the most beautiful woman, and showed a faint light like a wolf.

The armor equipped by Chen Ying's backyard attendants is different from the armor of the standard warriors. The arc-shaped breastplate, shoulder armor and tibia made of large steel plates are extremely strong and even if they are shot at close range with bows and arrows, it is difficult to lose any damage. The rest are made of armor pieces, one piece is stacked and one layer is stacked. Several of them are damaged. As long as it is replaced, it can continue to be used! Since the breastplate and tibia are made of large steel plates, the number of armor leaves is much smaller and the weight is relatively reduced.

Zhang Zhongjian knew the defense ability of this armor. However, in front of Chen Ying and pretended to be curious, he stepped forward and touched the armor with Chen Ying's permission. At that time, Zhang Zhongjian poured all his secret force into his fingertips and hit the armor, which had no effect except leaving a shallow mark on it.

Zhang Zhongjian was very confident in his kung fu. Even the hardest skull in the human body could not withstand the power of Zhang Zhongjian's finger. Even if it was a armor made of rhinoceros leather, he could poke a hole with one finger, but he did not expect that the armor under Chen Ying's command would be so powerful.

Once his troops were equipped with this armor, they would not have the savages in the Fusang Continent who were still using bronze arrowheads.

Zhang Zhongjian didn't know that this was an upgraded version of Chen Ying's Mingguang armor, imitating the Buren armor of the Song Dynasty. The Buren armor of the Song Dynasty weighed nearly 50 kilograms, which was extremely heavy. Unless it was a divine arm bow, it would be difficult to penetrate. It can be regarded as one of the best defensive armors of that era. It was tightly covered in its entire body, with only two eye sockets exposed, which was incomprehensible to swords and guns.

But the problem is that it is too heavy. Ordinary soldiers wear such armor and don’t have to fight anymore. They are exhausted! The heavy armored soldiers of the Song army are all tall, brave, treated very well, and trained very strictly. Throughout the year, unless they are fighting, they will stay in the camp honestly and work hard. Once they go into battle, they will lie across the enemy like a dam made of steel, swinging a giant axe weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms, and split the heavy armored soldiers who are rushing to the enemy, along with their armor. Khitans, Jurchens, Xixia people, Mongolians... The brave men of many barbarians who are famous for their bravery have flew with flesh and blood under the huge axe of the Song army, and no corpse has died!

The generals under Chen Ying's command built the Buren Armor according to Chen Ying's intention. Of course, this Buren Armor was not the kind of Buren Armor in the Song Dynasty, but was made of high manganese steel. The hardness increased by nearly 40% compared to high carbon steel, but the weight was half lighter.

Originally, Chen Ying was going to want to have a set of people and take this iron armor army to scatter the world, which would be spectacular! However, in the Western Regions, with the emergence of giant hydraulic stamping machines, simpler plate armor appeared. Compared with the Bingren armor, plate armor is lighter in weight and stronger in defense. The key is to be easy to build and fast in birth. If the water in the Hami River or Yili River is rapid in summer, a stamping machine can produce thousands of sets of plate armor in a day.

Zhang Zhongjian suddenly heard the sound of messy footsteps behind him. Looking in the sound, he saw Chen Ying staggering and walking drunk.

Zhang Zhongjian greeted him and said, "Brother Chen, are you okay?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "No, I'm blown by the wind and I'm a little over my head. Let's go back to the room to 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 lay lazily on the soft couch, looking at Zhang Zhongjian with a smile and said, "Brother Zhang has taken a fancy to those armors?"

In fact, as Chen Ying completed the Mingguang armor and the Bingren armor, the latest plate armor has appeared, and he is a little interested in cleaning up the inventory armor. After all, the most difficult thing about steel is rust. Once the corrosion is too severe, even if the armor that has not been used, it can only be scrapped, otherwise it will be irresponsible for the lives of the soldiers.

Zhang Zhongjian nodded and said, "I do mean it, but I don't know how much the armor of Brother Chen is?"

Chen Ying said: "If you buy it on the market, a pair of steel and bright light armor costs at least 300 stag, and it is priced but not available!"

Zhang Zhongjian nodded. After all, Chen Ying did not lie. This is the truth. Privately hiding armor is a serious crime. Even a pair of armor on the black market will be priced at sky-high prices. The key is that even if you have money, you cannot buy a large amount of goods.

Chen Ying said: "Of course, if you buy raw materials from outside, it will definitely be so expensive. Fortunately, whether it is craftsmen or steel, it is our own, so the cost is greatly reduced. Such a pair of armor will only cost 120 cents."

Zhang Zhongjian grinned like a toothache, and one pair of them was 120 guan. This hundred pairs of heavy armor ate 12,000 guan. Ten thousand sets were 1.2 million guan. It was so scary! No wonder the number of heavy infantry soldiers was so small that even if there were people, they could not afford to make so much armor!

Zhang Zhongjian gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Chen, I only have about one million coins of gold and silver in my hand. These seeds are a gift for you to give me. I order 8,000 sets of heavy armor for me at one time..."

Before Zhang Zhongjian could finish his words, Chen Ying interrupted Zhang Zhongjian and said, "These seeds were obtained by Brother Zhang through great hardships. In order to obtain these seeds, Brother Zhang also lost hundreds of brothers. These brothers also need to settle down. This way, based on our brothers' friendship, I will give you ten thousand sets of Mingguang armor in the Tang Dynasty..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhongjian hurriedly got up, grabbed Chen Ying's hand and said, "Brother Chen, I didn't say anything about you. If you can use Zhang's place in the future, just say a word. If Zhang frowned, he would be raised by a maid!"

Of course, Zhang Zhongjian did not know that the ten thousand sets of Mingguang armor worth millions were prepared by Chen Ying, and he did not know what important role the seeds Zhang Zhongjian brought back to China and the Tang Dynasty.

Corn, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and especially those potatoes are not only an important source of many starches in later generations, but also a key factor in which China can feed 22% of the world's arable land.

Chen Ying took these crops as crops that were cultivated by the Royal University of Technology of the Tang Dynasty, and would highly appreciate the status of the Tang Dynasty's industrial industry. With this great invention, Chen Ying was enough to be ranked as the saint of agriculture and be favored by all people.

Chen Ying said solemnly: "Brother Zhang, I have to talk about the ugly words before. These equipment can be given to Brother Zhang, but Brother Zhang cannot be used in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise Chen will be a sinner for the ages!"

Zhang Zhongjian laughed and said, "Brother Chen, you are too worried. I have decided to develop in the Fusang continent in the future. When I come back this time, I will prepare to gather the seventy-two islands, all the manpower and ships, and travel thousands of sails to Fusang!"

Hearing this, Chen Ying was also shocked and asked, "Brother Zhang is really going to take root in Fusang?"

"Why don't you go?" Zhang Zhongjian said with a look of course: "Didn't you want me to go to Fusang before? But at that time I thought Fusang was just a barren land and it was not worth the time and energy. Now after seeing America with my own eyes, I found that it was an extremely rich land. Not to mention that I am now staying in Zhuzi Island, even ten Japanese countries are not as good as America. Why don't I go with such a good place?"

Chen Ying was also speechless by Zhang Zhongjian's series of questions. At that time, he did intend to use Zhang Zhongjian, a trendsetter, as a way to explore the stone and fool him to Fusang to avoid causing trouble for the Tang Dynasty. However, the two had no relationship at that time. Although Chen Ying did not completely regard Zhang Zhongjian as his brother, he was at least a friend. He had different perspectives and naturally had different views.

Seeing Zhang Zhongjian's firm attitude, Chen Ying smiled and said, "So Chen wishes Brother Zhang has already got what he wants!"

Zhang Zhongjian said: "Brother Chen, why don't we join forces? As long as we brothers go to Fusang Continent together, within a few years, the land of 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 Tai Chi Palace, Li Yuan coughed repeatedly and was extremely in poor spirits. After all, he was nearly 60 years old. He was blown by the cold wind for a night and was both worried and afraid. After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he fell ill.

Pei Ji walked into Ganlu Palace.

Li Yuan, who was lying on the bed, waved to Pei Ji to come over. Li Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Since there is someone coming to talk to me.

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

"Relax? Erlang's rebellious son, manipulating power-based methods is just a trick to deceive the world and steal fame." Li Yuan said angrily: "He has no idea about governing the country except by holding a knife and slashing people. Fortunately, he is well established. If he succeeds, the Li family's foundation will definitely be destroyed by him, and he will become the second Emperor Yang of Sui."

Pei Ji was silent and listened to Li Yuan venting there.

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

Pei Ji shook his head and said, "No, the prince was just promoted to the old minister to the Grand Sikong, Duke Zhao, the Secretary of the Central Committee, and the Minister of the Central Committee, and was appointed as the Right Pushe of Shangshu! The other prime ministers did not move, but they all served as officials of the Eastern Palace!"

Li Yuan said in surprise: "He was not promoted to Wei Zheng, and Wang Gui entered the three provinces and six ministries to observe politics?"

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

"There are talented people around the prince!" Li Yuan sighed and said, "Do you know why I didn't change the King of Qin as the crown prince? Once the King of Qin is the crown prince, the crown prince, the King of Qi, and my descendants, don't even think about living, the second brother will be poisoned!"

...

In the Dali Temple official yamen, Li Jiancheng's face was twisted with a blue face, and he stared at Fang Xuanling viciously, unable to say a word.

Fang Xuanling said even more aggressively: "The prince is here so why did Fang conspire to murder the crown prince? Fang himself is the chief minister of the Qin Palace, a subordinate of the Qin King. The two countries are fighting for war, and each of them is their master!"

Li Jiancheng was about to roar at Fang Xuanling irritably. When he saw Fang Xuanling's contemptuous eyes, he remembered Wei Zheng's explanation, and forced himself to hold back his temper.

Li Jiancheng sneered and said, "You are so wise. No wonder Dai Zhou, Wei Ting can't deal with you. Your great sin is completely erased by your gentle words. In this way, you have no guilt. Instead, I, the prince, are you guilty?

Fang Xuanling sneered and said indifferently: "In fact, things are not that troublesome. The prince and the King of Qin competed with their own skills and methods."

Li Jiancheng's mouth twitched.

Fang Xuanling continued: "As the saying goes, the kings and princes will be successful, and the bandits will be defeated. That's all!

Li Jiancheng bit his back teeth and sneered: "You are so right, so you are just a bandit."

Fang Xuanling still had a tepid and cold attitude. She shook the chains on her hands and looked at Li Jiancheng with even more contempt and said: "That's right, so now that the power of the court is in the hands of Your Highness, the rules must be established by the palace and convicted by someone. It's just a small task. What's there to say? Fang was born in a family of officials and was in troubled times. What else can't understand? Why should your Highness call Fang here again and pretend to show justice? No matter how clever your methods are, can you cover the eyes of the world?"

Li Jiancheng walked to Fang Xuanling with murderous intent and shouted: "You are so stubborn, can you tell that you have put the whole family in a place of death?"

Fang Xuanling's expression suddenly turned sharp and he also stared at Li Jiancheng and said, "When Fang was practicing the skills of King of **, he was reminded by his mentor that those who practiced this skills were ranked among the three masters, Xianyaotai Pavilion, or were famous for their death, and they would destroy the nine tribes. Fang had expected it... "

Li Jiancheng said: "You are so ruthless to your family. You Fang Xuanling is truly the most cruel person in the world!"

Fang Xuanling casually bowed and said, "I dare not act like this, Fang asked himself that he was not as good as His Royal Highness!"

Li Jiancheng sneered, "You are not a good man and a trustworthy woman, are you? How did you treat me over the years? The palace is working hard on state affairs in the rear, and is always busy with the emperor's ears, making slander and making every effort to provoke discord. There are tens of thousands of unjust souls in Hebei, tens of thousands of dead souls in Jianghuai, and Yang Wengan, and thousands of young and old generals, and you are missing it!"

Fang Xuanling was actually wronged, and this was all done by Du Yan.

However, he disdains to explain.

Li Jiancheng yelled angrily: "I have blood and sweat for the Tang Dynasty. For the sake of the emperor's throne, he disobeyed his conscience and put my cold arrow behind him. Is this Erlang's brotherhood and brotherhood?"

Fang Xuanling stared at Li Jiancheng without saying a word.

Li Jiancheng said in surprise: "Why don't you speak? Why don't you deny or refute?"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the truth, why should I refute it? I, Fang, can't do it even if I tell lies with my eyes open!"

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