Speaking of this, Zhou Dong's expression darkened, thinking that he had hit walls everywhere, and it was difficult to fulfill his wish.

In this regard, Zhao Ji was not surprised, it was not difficult for any ordinary person to calculate this account. If the cost of cultivating a protégé of the Royal Boxing Gym can be exchanged for a hundred ordinary elite soldiers, probably anyone will think that this is really not cost-effective to the extreme, even if it is a first-class master in the martial arts, it is not easy to retreat under the siege of a hundred elite teams. Therefore, in the eyes of the courtiers, this royal boxing gym is quite flashy, and there is probably no need to open it again.

However, Zhao Ji himself was more interested in this topic, and it was really Zhou Dong's martial arts that shocked him too much, so he was extremely curious about what kind of strength the Tianwu Army had already been withdrawn.

Maybe it's because he found a soulmate, or maybe it's because he has too many words in his heart and urgently needs to find someone to talk to, listening to Zhao Ji's question, Zhou Tong gushed about the amazing performance of the short-lived Tianwu Army in Xining.

The Qiang of Hengshan were scattered among the strange mountains, each of them defending their own villages, and almost every time the Great Song army broke through, there would be very tragic casualties. However, the lieutenant soldiers of the Tianwu Army can fly the eaves and climb the wall, and they can also walk on the ground between the rugged mountains, or run from a distance, or attack the fortified villages, almost invincible, invincible. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of each soldier alone is also quite amazing, even if dozens of Qiang people besiege it, they can retreat with their whole body......

Like this, Zhou Tong spoke freely for most of the hour, and Zhao Ji was dumbfounded when he heard it, and his heart swayed. According to Zhou Dong's description, these days the soldiers of the martial army are really the well-deserved king of soldiers in this era of cold weapons! If there are such a thousand tigers, they can also exert amazing destructive power when they are thrown into the battlefield!

However, I learned from Zhou Dong that the Tianwu Army was only more than 800 people at its peak, and after the baptism of war, there were many losses, and it was not easy to replenish, and there were only more than 500 people left when it was withdrawn. And soon after the revocation, these soldiers were looted by the forbidden army and various military states, and it was impossible to form an army again.

From Zhou Tong's description, Zhao Ji can deduce that the strength of these protégés of the Royal Boxing Gym may still be a little far from those real first-class players on the rivers and lakes, but the individual strength is still slightly better than the four guards of the Nanwangfu of Dali Guozhen. Thinking that there were so many masters in the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, and that they were not an unorganized and undisciplined rabble on the rivers and lakes, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel his heart swaying. However, these more than 800 people are almost the accumulation of decades from the opening of the Imperial Boxing Gym in the Renzong Dynasty to the Xining period, and Zhao Ji couldn't help but sigh.

Even if he is not proficient in military affairs, Zhao Ji also understands that arranging troops is by no means a simple quantitative comparison, if it is really a simple number can distinguish the winner from the loser, the Jurchens do not say that they will destroy the Song Dynasty, but they are afraid that they will be wiped out by the Liao State as early as in Liaodong. This Tianwu army, which is less than a thousand people, if it is properly dispatched in the confrontation between the two armies, the combat power that bursts out is definitely better than tens of thousands of troops!

For not being able to reopen the Royal Boxing Gym, Zhao Ji also regretted a little. Next, he continued to talk to Zhou Tong about the specific resources that the Royal Boxing Gym needed to consume. Zhou Tong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It only takes 500,000 yuan a year, and in five years, you can get a thousand strong troops! It's a pity, it's a pity, ......it's a pity."

After learning more about the many items of the Imperial Boxing Gym, Zhao Ji realized that the main problem restricting the Imperial Boxing Gym from cultivating military talents was money, and the Imperial Boxing Gym was deeply troubled by the shortage of funds from the beginning of the establishment of the Renzong Dynasty, and it has never been supported by sufficient money. In fact, Da Song is not short of money, but it is impossible to use and dispatch. If you count the future promotion of these jinshi and the shadow of their children in the future, the number is even more amazing...... However, when you reach the end of the road, you have to rely on these thieves to save the day with an army!

500,000 guan per year, which is indeed a huge amount of money to talk about alone, but Zhao Ji remembered that last year, a steward in the Fan Building wanted to give a cadre share, and he would get a dividend of nearly 200,000 guan every year!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji's mind turned suddenly, and then asked: "If the imperial court is not allowed to reopen the Imperial Boxing Gym after all, what are you going to do, Mr. Zhou?"

After hearing this, Zhou Tong said astringently: "If it is really difficult to fulfill his long-cherished wish, but the old man has nothing to do, so he will join the old breed of the Western Army, and he must always apply this skill learned in the Royal Boxing Gym to serve the imperial court." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel surprised again: "It turns out that Mr. Zhou, all your skills were learned in the Imperial Boxing Gym?"

"I entered the Royal Boxing Gym at the age of fifteen, but what I learned in my life was not as good as the skills of the Royal Boxing Gym, and I am really ashamed. Zhou Tong sighed again.

Although he was curious about the skills of the Imperial Boxing Gym, Zhao Ji had other things to discuss with Zhou Tong, so he could only press it for the time being, and instead said: "Whether the imperial court will reopen the Imperial Boxing Gym, Xiao Wang is also difficult to say about this matter." However, I think that even if the court does not allow it, Mr. Zhou, you may not necessarily be able to serve the court alone. Mr. Zhou, when you join the army, it is true that you can kill the enemy and stand up for honors, but only one. However, for the Great Song Dynasty, there were hundreds of elite soldiers missing. ”

"Even if the imperial court does not allow the reopening of the Royal Boxing Gym, there may not be no compromise. Teacher Zhou, you can open your own martial arts hall in Bianliang City, and with your prestige in the opposition, you want to worship under your door freely. Taught as a protégé, and then recommended to the forbidden army, it is also a feat. Zhao Ji said.

When Zhou Tong heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "Duan Wangye's method, the old man has not thought about it. It's just that the people open a museum to teach art, first, the cost is very large, and it is difficult to make ends meet, and it is difficult to last; second, the recruitment of protégés is uneven, and not everyone can achieve something in learning and art, after all, it is not as fast and convenient as the recruitment and selection in the forbidden army; third, if there is no diligent cultivation and recuperation for many years, it is difficult to see the effect, so it is not much better than the cold window of ten years, and how many people are willing to give up the thoroughfare to come to this trail?"

Zhao Ji couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhou Tong talk about the difficulties, but he didn't think so far-reaching. It's just that he wants to give up the opportunity to train a large number of masters in the army, but he is reluctant, not to mention five years, even ten years is of legitimate use. The cost of opening a martial arts hall, he can help raise it, and many big merchants in Bianliang City go from house to house to fight the autumn breeze, and they always have to make up this money. As for the second and third points, it is indeed a little difficult to do, the martial arts hall wants to accept a large number of apprentices to teach art, not only in terms of material endowment, but also in terms of mental nature, it is also an important part, one or two is good to say, if there are hundreds or thousands, the problem is endless. Without the restraint of the forbidden military discipline, it is indeed difficult to expand the scale.

Zhao Ji thought hard for a long time, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, looking for a beggar gang!

The beggar gang is the largest gang in the world, and the number of people goes without saying, although many of the beggar gang disciples are contaminated with the loose and unrestrained temperament, but if the strict conditions are selected, one hundred and ten can be cultivated. And spread the stall first, and then select and select in batches in the future, which can always grow gradually.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Ji said to Zhou Tong: "When it comes to raising money, Xiao Wang can help Mr. Zhou share one or two of it." I can't bear to see Mr. Zhou, you are so heroic and have no way to serve the country, you can help a point, so you naturally have to help, although you can't do too much, but you can still do it for Mr. Zhou. As for the future path, and look at the steps of the way, things will be done after all. ”

After Zhou Tong heard this, his face couldn't help but be happy. Among the many problems he mentioned earlier, the most difficult thing was the lack of money, after all, the Royal Boxing Gym was also withdrawn for this reason. If this problem is solved, things will be simple in the future, and things will be man-made. Therefore, after getting Zhao Ji's promise, Zhou Tong was grateful, and he couldn't help but thank him again and again.

Zhao Ji discussed some details with Zhou Tong again, and inevitably turned to the martial arts taught in the Royal Boxing Gym.

Mentioning this question, Zhou Tong sighed and said: "The martial arts of the Royal Boxing Gym can be said to be all-encompassing, not to mention that they have been completely learned for decades, even if they read through them all, few people can do it." It's a pity that the Royal Boxing Gym is no longer there, and many secret techniques can only be dusted. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ji's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he asked, "Where are those martial arts now?"

"When the Imperial Boxing Gym was dismantled, all these martial arts cheats were stored in the Inner Arsenal, but I don't know if they are still properly stored now. Zhou Tong said.

Zhao Ji was full of curiosity after hearing this, and he couldn't wait to go to the Inner Mansion Arsenal to take a look. Seeing this, Zhou Tong smiled and said: "I am already full of wine and food, and I have nothing to do now, so I will accompany Lord Duan to take a look." ”

Zhao Ji only cared about talking to Zhou Tong, but he snubbed these people present, and couldn't help but turn his head and apologize. He thought about the affairs of the Inner Mansion Arsenal in his heart, and he really didn't have the heart to talk about anything else, and seeing that everyone's banquet was coming to an end, he immediately agreed to come back to visit him in a few days, and then dispersed.

After sending off a group of forbidden army guards, Zhao Ji invited Zhou Tong to get into the car and go to the inner city together. Halfway through, Zhou Tong got out of the car and went to the palace marshal's mansion to find his old colleagues to ask for a warrant, and then went to the arsenal outside Xihua Gate with Zhao Ji.

Although the arsenal of the inner palace belongs to the big interior, it is the warehouse where the palace marshal's mansion places ordnance, and it is not strictly forbidden for people to enter and exit. Zhou Dong had the warrant of the palace marshal's mansion in his hand, and Duan Wang Ye followed, so he naturally entered the treasury without hindrance.

I asked the official on duty, and the official thought about it for a long time, and searched through the file for most of the day before he found the place where the books of the Royal Boxing Gym were stored. Immediately, Zhao Ji and Zhou Tong were led into a dilapidated separate courtyard. This courtyard seems to be rarely visited, the ground is full of dust and fallen leaves, and there is a small eunuch of the inner palace under the porch leaning against the pillars of the porch.

When Zhao Ji and the others walked into the courtyard, the eunuch suddenly noticed, rubbed his sleepy eyes and saw the people standing in the courtyard, and hurriedly got up and stepped forward.

Seeing this eunuch coming over, Zhao Ji's eyes couldn't help but froze, turned his head to look at Zhou Tong, and saw that he was also quite surprised, and he could also see that this eunuch had some internal attainments. Turning around, Zhao Ji couldn't help but take a closer look at the eunuch who knew martial arts, and couldn't help but be surprised that this eunuch could afford pimples, and it was really too chic.

The eunuch stepped forward quickly, and he couldn't see the taste of Zhao Ji and the others, but he was already the lowest miscellaneous eunuch, and there was no need to be embarrassed by the title, so he immediately bowed and said: "The little miscellaneous servant of the Inner Mansion Tong Guan, meet a few adults." ”

Hearing this name, Zhao Ji's face couldn't help but be stunned, Tong Guan, this is the rhythm of collecting seven dragon balls to summon the divine dragon?

The number dies early, so I won't admit that the unit conversion is unreasonable...... In addition, I continue to sincerely ask for a recommendation vote
