I am not Song Qinzong

"Oh, who is it?" Zhao Huan asked.

"This man's surname is Zhou and his name is Dong. He can be called the best boxer in Tokyo, and he is omnipotent with eighteen kinds of weapons. What's more rare is that he teaches a good apprentice, much better than half a sword like me. " Bingchen said.

"Zhou Tong?" Zhao Huan pondered.

If I remember correctly, Zhou Tong became Liu Guangshi's staff after he resigned from office, and when he was stationed in Hebei with the army, he accepted Yue Fei as an apprentice.

With this one, let him be famous through the ages.

"Jingshi Yuquan Gym, Chu Jun must also know about it, and Zhou Tong is one of the Tianzihao teachers.

When the last general was still in the Huanqing Army, he heard his name. At that time, there were people in the army who went to Beijing on business, and they all tried their best to visit them for advice.

Zhou Tong was also enthusiastic, whenever he asked for advice, he would give advice, and many people benefited from it. "

"That's right, when the general arrives in the capital, he has been there a few times, which is of great benefit to his sword skills." Chen Zhenpeng added.

"Hu Yue." Zhao Huan called out.

Immediately there is a steward approaching.

There are [-] people in the Prince's Mansion, so naturally they can't rely on foolishness, and there are many stewards in charge of various affairs.

Hu Yue is one of them.

When Yuren went out, he was mostly by his side, waiting for orders.

Although not as caring as Yu Ren, it is also usable.

"Prepare a set of martial arts classics, a good weapon, a good horse, silver... Forget it, get everything ready first." Zhao Huan arranged.

Hu Yue agreed.

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. The problem is that the Prince's Mansion has no money and is still waiting for the father-in-law to help.

Moreover, it seems that for people like Zhou Tong, money should not be of much use.

If you want to recruit such characters, you need to think carefully.

"Let's talk about it, what kind of outstanding people are there in the capital?" Zhao Huan asked again.

"Although the forbidden army is unusable, there are quite a few people who are capable of hiding dragons and crouching tigers." Chen Zhenpeng said.

"Forget it, most of the dispatches in the army can't get around that guy Gao Qiu, let alone someone who has no official status." Zhao Huan said.

Naturally, he is not afraid of Gao Qiu, but he must be criticized because of a few generals.

And if there are too many times, Zhao Ji will inevitably blame him, which is really not worthwhile.

The most important thing is, who can guarantee that Gao Lian will not take the opportunity to set up his eyes and ears.

"The last general is acquainted with one." Zhan Tianshen came with a weapon in hand.

Zhao Huan casually handed over a glass of water, motioning for him to continue.

Zhan Tianshen was stunned, and then took it after being stunned for a while.

Obviously, he didn't expect the prince to be so approachable.

If there is data, Zhan Tianshen's loyalty will be increased by at least ten.

After drinking the water with his head down, Zhantian said: "This man's surname is Wei Mingfeng, his style name is Dingguo, and his ancestor is Wei Yan, a general of Shu Han.

Needless to say, his swordsmanship is excellent, but what is rare is his superb riding skills.

Most of us are from the infantry army, and the horse army is indeed weak. If you invite them, it will be of great benefit to the improvement of the army. "

Zhao Huan became interested and asked, "Where is this person now?"

Zhantian Shen said: "He lives three miles east of the city, because his personality is too upright, his life is not very satisfactory, he often runs around for his life, and he will not know if he is at home in the end."

"Let me give you half a day off, and I will invite you here to teach the troops horsemanship."

Zhan Tianshen asked again: "Although it is not appropriate, the general still has to ask, how much is the monthly salary?"

"For those who are really capable, I don't spare money. How about a monthly salary of thirty guan?" Zhao Huan asked.

"Such a generous salary, you can grab it with your hands."

Zhan Tianshen took the order and left, and everyone continued to practice martial arts.

With a better teacher coming, Chen Zhenpeng would naturally stop showing off his second-hand goods, and only explained many skills of personal guards to the prince.

"The last general was born in the sword and shield hand, and his skills are all in the hand knife."

The so-called hand knife is a one-handed knife, which is good for chopping and chopping, and it is a sharp weapon for close combat.

Zhao Huan took a look at it, and saw that the blade was curved, the head was wide, the ridge was thick and the blade was thin, and it was strong and powerful.

After trying to swing it, even if he is a layman, he can still feel that it is very suitable for chopping.

"In the current military, what is the quality and price of this knife?" Zhao Huan asked.

"A good knife weighs five catties. The blade is iron and the blade is steel. According to the law, it can break through armor, and it can be cut thirty times without missing the edge.

Nowadays, it is still a product worth three pennies, and it can only be cut more than ten times before it is damaged, and the quality is not as good as before. " Chen Zhenpeng replied.

"Severe quality attenuation?" Zhao Huan asked with a frown.

"The Northwest Frontier Army is fine. The imperial court attaches great importance to it. It can still be guaranteed to be available. The weapons of the Imperial Army in Kyoto will be usable, and the local Xiang Army will not be mentioned." Chen Zhenpeng said.

"It's not absolute." Zhan Tian said: "Some state governors are clean and promising, and the weapons they purchase themselves are not weaker than those made by the imperial court."

"How many places can there be?" Chen Zhenpeng sneered.

When Zhao Huan heard this, he felt panicked.

The decline in the quality of weapons is definitely not the reason for the decline in technology, but the serious corruption.

Tong Guan, the privy envoy of the court, and Zheng Juzhong, the privy councilor with power, can understand why the quality of weapons is worrying by looking at these two people.

One can see the whole leopard at a glance, and it can be seen that the military equipment of the country has been disintegrated to the point of disrepair.

Looking at the knife in his hand, Zhao Huan said: "Why is there no mark on this knife?"

The mark is left by the craftsman to facilitate accountability.

Chen Zhenpeng said: "I purchased this knife myself, it was not issued by the army, but it cost fifteen feet."
