Chapter 435: The Palace of the King of Chu Receives Chen Youliang The envoys shocked the Ordnance Prison
Under the leadership of the Great Chu official, the three of them rode through the urn city of the Chu Palace, and came to the second gate of the Chu Palace.
The three of them couldn't help but turn over and dismount, unload their weapons, and under the leadership of the official, they walked into the palace of the king of Chu.
This...... The big husband should be like this!
Officially entered the palace of the king of Chu, looked at the towering palace in front of him, and looked at the palace soldier who stood tall in iron armor around him, as well as the beautiful palace maids, eunuchs and eunuchs walking in the palace. Somehow, Chen Youliang's heart suddenly sounded the sentence that Liu Bang said back then-the big husband should be like this!
When a boy is born in troubled times, he must establish a career like Zhang Shihua, the king of Chu!
Looking at the scenes around him, Chen Youliang secretly thought to himself, and ambition couldn't help but spread in his chest.
However, he was a smart man, and he bowed his head slightly at this time, so no one could really see what ambition this general was hiding in his heart at this time.
"Tianwan Taishi, Tianwan on the road 10,000 households and Tianwan on the road deputy 10,000 households, Zou Pusheng, Chen Youliang, Zhang Dingbian to !!"
It didn't take much time, Zou Pusheng, Chen Youliang, and Zhang Dingbian also walked to the main hall of the Chu Palace. Therefore, at this time, a eunuch couldn't help but stand on the steps and sing like this.
"The king has a life, Xuan Zou Pusheng, Chen Youliang, and Zhang Dingbian will meet !!"
In front of the main hall of the Chu Palace, the three people who were waiting with their heads bowed slightly heard a high chant again.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Zou Pusheng, Chen Youliang, and Zhang Dingbian couldn't help but step one after another and walked into the main hall of the palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, Chen Youliang couldn't help but subconsciously look in the direction of the throne.
Then by coincidence, Chen Youliang, who looked up at the throne, and Zhang Shihua, who had been sitting on the throne and stared at Chen Youliang as soon as Chen Youliang came in, the eyes of the two couldn't help but look at each other at this time.
Wearing a crown of nine hanging beads and a royal uniform of nine chapters, is this His Royal Highness the King of Chu? What a talent!
saw Zhang Shihua, who was sitting on the throne, although he looked very young, but his every move was extremely majestic. The two looked at each other, and Chen Youliang couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
So he hurriedly lowered his head and withdrew his gaze, followed Zou Pusheng, knelt on the ground respectfully, and couldn't help but shout: "We meet the King of Chu Chitose, Chitose Sheng'an!" ”
But he didn't expect that at this time, Zhang Shihua over there was looking at him wholeheartedly, and secretly thought in his heart.
This is Chen Youliang. Tall and with a beautiful long beard, if he hadn't come from the afterlife, how could he have thought that such a burly and handsome man was a man who had killed his lord and finally established himself as a king!
No one should look good, honestly!
"Alright, you guys excuse me." Fang Cai's thoughts passed through his mind. Looking at the three people kneeling on the ground, Zhang Shihua smiled and waved his hand, and couldn't help but let them stand up from the ground one after another.
"Mr. Zou, it's been a long time since you and I said goodbye to Xiangyang last time." When Zou Pusheng and the three of them stood up from the ground one after another, Zhang Shihua looked at Zou Pusheng standing under His Royal Highness with a smile, and couldn't help but say so.
In the palace, Zou Pusheng heard Zhang Shihua's words, and at this time, he couldn't help but smile and hugged his fists and said: "Yes, but I haven't seen the honor of the king for more than a year." When I see it today, the king's demeanor is even better than before! ”
"Haha, so is Mr. Zou." Zhang Shihua laughed. Then he looked at Chen Youliang over there, and couldn't help but praise: "This is Chen Youliang, General Chen." I have heard the name of General Chen for a long time, and when I see it today, I look dignified, and the general's name is well deserved! ”
The king praised it. Friendship, but a human ear. ”
"Haha, Chinese. The general is too self-modest. According to this king, he will be a great man every day, and there will be a place for a general. ”
"This ...... Xie Dawang Jiyan. Although the current Chen Youliang has long been an ambitious person. But now, he is so different from Zhang Shihua, but he doesn't dare to show his unruly side at this time.
Therefore, after Zhang Shihua smiled, he turned to look at his own family with the same surname.
"Jun, in the battle of Wuchang, he captured and killed the pseudo-Huguang Pingzhang Aluhui, and beheaded the Tianwan Tiger of 20,000 households in Yuanmeng, Zhang Dingbian and General Zhang."
"Haha, back to the king's words. A certain is Zhang Dingbian! Hearing Zhang Shihua praise him for the most proud thing, Zhang Dingbian on the main hall couldn't help but look more and more happy.
And Zhang Shihua heard what he said, and after looking at him carefully, he couldn't help laughing: "Before seeing the appearance of the king, this king thought that the general's deeds were exaggerated. Today's appearance of a general is really comparable to Guan Yun at the end of the Han Dynasty! ”
"Hahaha, the king praises, the kings praise! The minister is just a martial artist, how dare he compare it to the saint. ”
"Eh, don't be humble, general. The general lived in Huangpeng Town back then, and his anxious and righteous life was known everywhere. After the general from the end of the day to the east and the west, the prestige, the king has also heard of it. Seeing the general today really fulfilled a wish of this king. ”
"This ......" Suddenly hearing Zhang Shihua's words, being praised by Zhang Shihua like this, Zhang Dingbian couldn't help but feel a little excited. Dingbian also asked the king about his prestige early, and today he was able to see the king, which can really be said to be a blessing for three lives! ”
I have to say that Zhang Shihua's words are simply too much for Zhang Dingbian's appetite,
Therefore, although he Zhang Dingbian has only seen Zhang Shihua now, he has a better impression of Zhang Shihua, the king of Chu, than Ni Wenjun, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses.
So when half an hour later, Zou Pusheng, Chen Youliang, and Zhang Dingbian left the palace of the king of Chu.
When the subordinates waiting outside the palace asked what kind of person Zhang Shihua, the king of Chu, was, Zhang Dingbian couldn't help but comment: "The king of Chu is a man, heroic and extraordinary, and a corporal of good manners. Talking to him, like a spring breeze, talking for a long time without feeling tired, he can really be described as a hero! ”
……
In the blink of an eye, time passed, and it was the day after tomorrow unconsciously. That is, on the fifth day of November.
And on this day, it was also the day when the Chu army officially bought and sold armor to the outside world.
At this time, it was as Chen Youliang had predicted. In the Central Plains, a group of commanders of the rebel army led by Liu Futong couldn't help but rush to Jiangling City in time on the fourth day of the new year to participate in this extremely important chamber of commerce activity for them.
"Look, that's my Great Chu's Ordnance Supervision Temple. I am a great Chu, and all the plate armor is produced from this. ”
Gangneung City, not far to the southwest. Zhao Ziyu, the military advisor of Great Chu, couldn't help but personally bring Zou Pusheng and Liu Futong's brother Liu Shijiu and other envoys to the Great Chu Ordnance Prison, which was guarded by 5,000 ironclad troops.
And when they saw the full scale of the Great Chu Ordnance Supervisor for the first time, Zou Pusheng and the others couldn't help but be shocked by the huge scale of the Great Chu Ordnance Supervisor.
However, because with the continuous growth of the Chu army, the ordnance supervisor of Dachu is no longer a small workshop with only a few hundred people when it was first built.
At this time, from the outside, this most heavily guarded place in Great Chu, except for Zhang Shihua's Chu Palace, has completely evolved into a well-defended medium fortress.
According to the information reported to Zhang Shihua by Shen Shi, the superintendent of the Ordnance Superintendent, there are now as many as 6,352 craftsmen and craftsmen involved in the production of plate armor, artillery, crossbow arrows, and other ordnance in the Ordnance Superintendent.
And in the Ordnance Prison, coupled with the need for secrecy policy, they had to follow the families of craftsmen who lived and lived in the Ordnance Prison together. The population living in this ordnance prison has reached more than 23,000 people.
Therefore, the current Dachu Ordnance Supervision is no longer as simple as a workshop for making ordnance. Instead, it has become a heavy industrial city with living areas, entertainment areas, and commercial areas.
"Grandma, such a big city was built to make ordnance, Da Chu is really rich! How much food does it cost to be in such a big city! Outside the ordnance prison, Liu Shijiu looked at this ordnance city with a city wall more than two zhang high and also built a horse face and an urn city, and couldn't help but sigh for Zhang Shihua's generosity.
"Hey, it's no wonder that King Chu was able to establish his current achievements. Just by looking at this ordnance superintendent, you can know how strong the Great Chu Jiali soldiers are! At the same time that Liu Shijiu sighed, Zou Pusheng over there also couldn't help but sigh.
And ahead, Zhao Ziyu looked at Zou Pusheng and the others with such an emotional and surprised look, and couldn't help but smile on his face, "Ordnance is really the foundation of my Great Chu Army." Therefore, every year, the money and grain that my Dachu invests in the Ordnance Prison account for almost 10% of the tax revenue of the year. That's why this ordnance superintendent was able to have such a scale. ”
"The King of Chu is far-sighted and admirable." Heard Zhao Ziyu's boastful words. Over there, Zou Pusheng couldn't help but echo.
Therefore, in this regard, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but laugh again, and said enthusiastically: "Everyone, please." Let's go into town now. ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but take Zou Pusheng and them to the gate of the Ordnance Prison.
"The last general, Chen Hanlang, meet the military master!" When Zhao Ziyu led a group of more than 100 people to the city gate of the Ordnance Prison. Chen Hanlang, who had been waiting for Zhao Ziyu at the gate for a long time, couldn't help but clench his fists with both hands and bowed deeply to Zhao Ziyu who came in the lead.
And for Chen Hanlang, a young and promising general in the Chu army, Zhang Shihua is very impressed. Over there, Zhao Ziyu naturally won't hold it up.
So at this time, he was also smiling and hugging his fists while riding on the war horse, and then said: "In the city, General Lao Xiaochen will lead the way for us." ”
"The military advisor said seriously, this is all a matter within the general's share. Strategists and distinguished envoys, please! As he spoke, Chen Hanlang, who was carrying a full 500 heavily armed ironclad soldiers, couldn't help but stand on the side of the road, making way for Zhao Ziyu and the others.
And when Zou Pusheng and the others who came with him saw this, they naturally understood that it was true that this General Chen Hanlang and Chen led the way for them, and they stared at them tightly and did not let them take the opportunity to inquire about intelligence in the city.
Otherwise, one of the leading men, as for the mobilization of the army, brought five hundred heavily armed soldiers with him?
But in this regard, Zou Pusheng and others didn't feel anything. After all, if they think about it from another perspective, if they stand in Zhang Shihua's perspective, they will definitely do it.
But maybe it's because of habit.
As soon as he entered this city, Chen Youliang couldn't help but look at this city carefully from the inside out, thinking about how many soldiers and horses he would need to take it if he led his troops to attack this city.
But in the end, the more he looked at this city, Chen Youliang couldn't help but be more and more surprised by the background behind Chu Jun.
The soldiers of the Chu army guarding this city, everyone wore the exclusive plate armor of the Chu army, not to mention, the soldiers among them were almost a god arm crossbow. On the city wall, the black iron artillery forged by the Chu army can be seen everywhere.
This kind of luxurious configuration of armaments simply made Chen Youliang feel like a countryman entering the city.
The troops under his command, who thought they were elite, were to be equipped with this ironclad army guarding the place, it would be like a kind of beggar who was richer than the landlord and rich peasant. The gap is so big that Chen Youliang, who saw this scene with his own eyes, is a little unimaginable.
Unless you are completely sure, you must not be the enemy of the Chu army in the future!
Chen Youliang sighed like this in his heart, and he no longer bothered to think about such an unrealistic thing as 'how many soldiers and horses can he lead to conquer this city'.
At this time, even Chen Youliang, who has always been unruly in his bones, couldn't help but think like this, and the thoughts of the other people accompanying him when they saw this scene around them were self-evident.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the people who entered the Ordnance Prison couldn't help but put away the little caution in their hearts. began to follow Zhao Ziyu and Chen Hanlang intently, and under the curious gaze of the residents in the city, a group of hundreds of people rushed towards the school field in the city in such an orderly manner.
……
A moment later, the group arrived at the school grounds. Then Zhao Ziyu walked quickly to a high platform next to the school grounds, and couldn't help but turn to Zou Pusheng and the others and shouted: "Everyone, listen to me." I think everyone here knows that my Dachu has a unique armor - plate armor.
And some of you present have also come into contact with and personally worn the special plate armor made by my Da Chu. But I think about it, some of you still don't have an intuitive feeling about my Da Chu's plate armor. Therefore, this time, I am on the orders of my king, and I have brought you here so that you can have a close and intuitive experience of the defense power of our army's unique plate armor.
Then, the noble envoys decided whether to buy my Da Chu's plate armor this time or not. Saying this, Zhao Ziyu slapped his palms, and there were a hundred Chu soldiers, and he couldn't help but appear on the school field with a hundred pairs of plate armor.
