Duan Fei continued to ask Zhang Yin about the strategy of the Northern Expedition, and in order to express himself, Zhang Yin explained to Duan Fei in detail the strategy he envisioned.

As he spoke, the sky darkened, Duan Fei ordered someone to set up a banquet to greet Zhang Yin, and the two talked even more speculatively at the table, and Duan Fei sighed and said: "Lord Zhang is really a genius, if the official was not in a hurry to return to Beijing back then, it would be good to talk more with Lord Zhang, but it is not too late now, Shanxi has been a fierce folk since ancient times, if Lord Zhang can train the soldiers in Shanxi to be as elite as Taiyuan Wei today within two years, the official will definitely persuade the emperor to send troops to recover the two sets, and then the official will strongly recommend Lord Zhang to take charge of the seal, At that time, Lord Zhang will be able to show his ambitions, and with the full support of his official in Beijing, Lord Zhang can only fight at the front wholeheartedly. ”

Zhang Yin said excitedly: "Thank you for your cultivation, if there is really that day, the lower officials will live up to the high expectations of the adults, and the merits and glory of the lower officials should all belong to the adults!" ”

Duan Fei drank a glass of excitement and said with a wistful gaze: "This official is looking forward to this day coming soon." ”

Zhang Yin thought about it in his heart, and said: "Xia Guan heard that the Lord won more with less in the battle of crossing the river in Jingshui, Shanxi, and only defeated the tens of thousands of troops of the Demon Sect with only 3,000 Golden Bull Guards, among which the firearms are mighty and extraordinary, these firearms have been partially equipped to the border army, Xia Guan once went to Datong to observe, and found that whether it is a musket or a grenade, it is a sharp weapon in close combat, and the new Franco cannon and the new general cannon can be called a magic weapon for long-range attack, and any army with this firearm will increase its combat power tenfold, I don't know when Taiyuan Wei or Shanxi Zhuwei will be able to assemble such a sharp weapon......"

Duan Fei said: "Don't worry, sooner or later, you have to equip it, but it's a pity that the manufacturing process of firearms, especially muskets and artillery, is complicated and difficult to mass-produce, otherwise the border army would have been fully equipped, but ...... He has gathered many skilled craftsmen under his command, and he has also invited many craftsmen from overseas, and they are working hard to improve the process and speed up production, and after two years they should be able to meet the minimum supply requirements, and then they can consider recovering the Hetao......"

Zhang Yin knew the power of firearms, and when he saw Duan Fei say this, he could only grit his teeth and hold back, but he heard Duan Fei say: "Firearms are easy to make, good generals are hard to find, Lord Zhang, do you still have generals who can fight well and the most important thing is that they have flexible brains?" The official wanted to put a few people to the border to exercise, but he couldn't find the right person......"

Zhang Yin's eyes flashed, and he immediately said: "Yes, Xiaguan took in three apprentices when he cultivated the Tao, they were quite good at scheming, if the adults need it, just take it, there are other people around the Xiaguan who can use it, if the adults need it, the Xiaguan will write out their list." ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "The list is not in a hurry, it's not early now, Lord Zhang still wants to go to Guo Houye's mansion, right?" In this way, the official will not keep any guests, Lord Zhang ......"

Zhang Yin hurriedly got up and said: "Lord Duan is like a god, and the lower official really wants to go to Guo Houye's mansion for a trip, so he will retire......

After Zhang Yin left, someone coughed in the darkness and walked out, and Duan Fei said without looking back: "Li Hua, what do you think of this Zhang Yin?" ”

Li Hua's eyes flashed and said: "I can't see through his details, so I can judge that even if he is not Li Fuda, he is also a high-ranking person in the Maitreya Sect, Lord Duan, why don't you take him down on the spot?" And promised him so many good things? ”

Duan Fei touched the wine glass and said leisurely: "Don't talk about you, even I can't see through him, in comparison, among the people this official has seen, only the world's number one master, Ghost Shadow Yang Jian, can be compared to the White Lotus Sect Master, how many such masters are there today?" Count and count, that is, Maitreya Sect Master Li Fuda. ”

Li Hua said in a deep voice: "In that case, why didn't Lord Duan order him to be taken down?" No matter how high his martial arts are, a net has already been laid here today, and I don't believe he can escape. ”

Duan Fei glanced back at Li Hua and said, "What do you know, this official has his own clever plan, this Zhang Yin's official wants to use him again, don't spoil the official's plan." ”

Li Hua snorted and said, "Okay, since Lord Duan is so sure, then our family has no choice but to return to the emperor, Lord Duan, farewell!" ”

Li Hua waved his sleeves, and inadvertently a little white light flew towards Duan Fei, Duan Fei arched his hand, quietly pulled the white light into his sleeve, and said, "Father-in-law Li, please!" The official will not send it. ”

After Li Hua left, Duan Fei returned to the study, and after confirming that no one was watching, he took out the paper ball that Li Hua threw to him, and after unfolding it, he couldn't help frowning slightly, he rubbed his hands together, kneaded the paper ball into powder, and raised his head to look at the dark sky in the distance outside the window......

From the news brought by Li Hua, it can be seen that Zhengde began to distrust him, but the specific reason Li Hua is not clear, is it really a long time to be unfamiliar? Or is there something else? Zhang Rui, this guy who had almost been forgotten by Duan Fei, suddenly appeared in Duan Fei's mind again, he must be making trouble, is it ......

It was a sleepless night, Duan Fei thought about it, and suddenly found that many things that he thought were seamless had revealed flaws, why did Zhengde start to suspect him? It seems that he needs to be careful and take precautions.

Early in the morning, Duan Fei came to the noon gate, Zhang Yin was already waiting here, Duan Fei bowed to him slightly, and then entered the noon gate, and after a while, a Taurus Wei Han general walked out and led Zhang Yin in.

Before the early dynasty, it was a good time for everyone to get together to discuss state affairs, people with the same or similar political views like to get together, it is easy to see who is the most popular, which side is more powerful, thinking about the cold reception that Duan Fei received in front of the Jinluan Palace when he first appeared in the early dynasty, but now it is a different scene.

The various departments stepped forward to greet Duan Fei one by one, which of the civil and military officials was not proud to be able to greet Duan Fei for two sentences? Relatively speaking, Guo Xun's side is far behind, Zhang Yin saw the situation in front of him, and immediately made a choice, he strode towards Duan Fei, Duan Fei also saw him for the first time, and immediately greeted Zhang Yin and introduced Zhang Yin to Yang Yiqing and others.

Yang Yiqing and the others immediately looked Zhang Yin up and down, and they all spoke out in difficulty.

Zhang Yin's answers to these difficulties are like a stream, even Yang Yiqing, who guards the border all the year round, can't trouble him, after some exchanges, everyone is impressed by Zhang Yin, this guy who spent money to buy an official position turned out to be not an unlearned person......

Zhengde was approaching the court, everyone entered in order, and Zhang Yin stood under the corridor and waited like Duan Fei back then.

Didn't wait long for Zhang Yin to be passed to the Jinluan Palace, Zhang Yin kowtowed to Zhengde, Zhengde was secretly happy, he had learned from Li Hua that Duan Fei confirmed that Zhang Yin was Li Fuda's matter, Maitreya Sect is regarded as the existence of the great enemy of the imperial court since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and now the leader of Maitreya Sect humbly kowtows to himself, Zhengde naturally wants to secretly have fun.

Just for the sake of this feeling of a civet cat playing with a mouse, Zhengde did not immediately order the arrest of Zhang Yin, he wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Duan Fei's gourd, and he also wanted to play more.

Zhengde ordered Zhang Yin to calm down, and then pretended to let Zhang Yin start to report on his work in court.

Zhang Yin began to tell about his achievements since he was the commander of Taiyuan Wei, not to say that he didn't know, he really did a lot of real things, not only built Taiyuan Wei into an iron guard, but also did a good job in the construction of military camp infrastructure and the military-civilian relationship with the surrounding masses, paving roads and building bridges or something, on the surface, this guy is simply a model party member.
