Chapter 368 Army and Bank

What people often say is that generals and marshals are all military ranks, such as army generals, army marshals, naval marshals, etc. However, although Zhao Dongyun is a soldier, he is the national commander who is in charge of the sea and land armies. Naturally, he can't use the rank of regional service.

Later, the Shu office proposed to give Zhao Dongyun a special rank of 'Marshal of the State' or 'Marshal of Sea and Land', but it was different from the military system of Western countries, so he gave up. However, Zhao Dongyun could not have a military rank, otherwise it would not even be easy to handle the epaulettes, so he did it. He simply regarded the position of 'Marshal of the Republic of China' as a military rank, so that this title has the dual characteristics of position and rank, and specially formulated Peony Venus as this exclusive chapter for Zhao Dongyun.

Zhao Dongyun's current clothes are relatively casual except for the conspicuous peony Venus on his shoulder. At first glance, he thought he was an ordinary Fengjun officer.

In this way, he forms a strong contrast with the senior generals wearing senior generals' gowns behind him. Surrounded by everyone, it can almost be seen at a glance that this seemingly ordinary person is the core of everyone's trip today.

Next to Yang Shande, Yang Shande of the Ministry of Education followed Zhao Dongyun. He also deliberately bent down slightly beside Zhao Dongyun and lowered his head to explain to Zhao Dongyun: "The recruits of soldiers of the 14th Division are Yongping and Chengde. The Tangshan area can be regarded as our old area, and this place is still relatively supportive of us. The recruits are all well-known children!"

The contemporary military zoning recruitment mode, that is, each unit has a fixed recruitment and supplementary place. For example, the new 11th Division last year, the source of its soldiers is Jinzhou Prefecture and Xinminfu in Fengtian; the new recruits of the 12th Division comes from Tuchang Prefecture and Hailong Prefecture.

This is mainly to solve the problem that soldiers' dialects are different. China is so large, local dialects, not to mention different provinces, even the same province often have a variety of dialects. In addition, although there are so-called official dialects these days, those rural children who have never left the village and have never gone to school However, I don't know what the official language is, and I can only speak a local dialect when I go out to be a soldier. In this case, in order to solve the problem of soldiers' different words, soldiers in the same prefecture and county are often placed in the same unit. In fact, the Beiyang Army in the Yuan Shikai era has actually done so. Basically, the source of soldiers in each town is different. For example, Zhao Dongyun's third town was mainly recruited from the south of Zhili and Shandong, while Duan Qirui's fourth division was mainly from Henan.

At the same time, it is also to increase the cohesion between soldiers. Many of the soldiers play with big friends in the same town or even in the same village, which is helpful for enhancing the cohesion between soldiers. However, there are also disadvantages in this move. On the one hand, it is easy to form local differentiation. In addition, the combat effectiveness and equipment of the troops are also related to the folk customs of the conscripted areas. The folk customs are docile, and the soldiers recruited in commercially developed areas are often very ordinary, but this problem is not big for the time being. .

Because although the requirements for Fengjun's conscription for physical conditions are sometimes reduced, one thing is restricted, that is, only the well-known rural sons who are guaranteed by village chiefs or village chiefs!

Basically, we will not accept those children of small citizens in the city, and we will never accept exiles and soldiers!

In this era, China's rural areas, whether in Fengtian, Tangshan or Jiangsu, are equally poor, and the soldiers selected from rural areas will not have many troubles with soldiers in urban areas.

Zhao Dongyun did not speak, but nodded slightly. Soon he had already entered the stands. At this time, he saw that the school was blue and gray! These blue and grays are arranged into squares!

Subsequently, these phalanxes carried out some unspecting drills. Although these drills did not help much in actual combat, on the other hand, we can also see the discipline of the department and the quality of soldiers. After all, if a unit can't do these well in line, it is more expected that they can be. Strong quality.

Yang Deming beside him is also a little worried. In the future, whether he can really rise in the group of Fengjun and become a famous general with Gu Lanyu depends on his 14th Division and Zhao Dongyun's dissatisfaction with his ability!

At this time, he was worried that Zhao Dongyun was not satisfied with his subordinate drills. He had commanded troops on the front line. Naturally, he also knew that these drills were shelf goods and were not useful. However, today's time is limited, coupled with the limited venue, he can't do a large-scale exercise for Zhao Dongyun. As for the small scale By the way, people will ask whether you are practicing a camp or a teacher.

Fortunately, he saw Zhao Dongyun looking more seriously and did not show any dissatisfaction, which made him slightly relieved

At this time, Zhao Dongyun also turned around: "Deming, it seems that you have worked hard these times. You have trained the 14th Division with a lot of momentum as the third town in those years!"

Although Yang Deming was overjoyed after hearing this, he showed panic on his face: "The president has been praised. How can Deming and He De dare to be compared with your senior? Although the 14th Division trained by the younger generation has begun to take shape, it is still far from becoming such a strong army as the Third Division!"

Although Yang Deming looked frightened and said modestly, he couldn't help frowning at the sound of several military generals beside him. Yang Deming was shameless and always showed his school relationship with Zhao Dongyun. A senior and a junior were quite dissatisfied.

Isn't it just that he went to the same military academy as Zhao Dongyun? As for talking about it every day!

Especially Shi Yanglin, who was born as a trainee, is extremely dissatisfied with Yang Deming and the president's seniors and juniors. Shi Yanglin called Zhao Dongyun as his teacher and his disciple Li. If Yang Deming became Zhao Dongyun's younger brother, wouldn't he have to call him uncle?

Shi Yanglin has been regarded as a benchmark for the small group of further students since he became the director of the Operations Department after Yang Deming. The group of trainees has always been relatively exclusive. Not to mention looking down on officers from other military schools in China, even most of the officers from Japan and Germany are looked down upon by them. Who is Yang Deming? He is the benchmark for Liu Desheng.

So although they are two chiefs of the Operations Department, the relationship between Shi Yanglin and Yang Deming is not harmonious.

But at this time, Shi Yanglin naturally won't show anything, just a cold snor in his heart!

With the end of the drill, Zhao Dongyun officially awarded Yang Deming the flag of the 14th Division and announced that the division had officially become an army!

After hosting the military formation ceremony of the 14th Division, Zhao Dongyun did not stay much, but did not directly return to Xiyuan Presidential Palace, but went to attend the opening ceremony of Huatong Industrial Bank.

Huatong Industrial Bank is a commercial bank directly controlled by the Ministry of Finance. Its predecessor was some business institutions of the Bank of China.

Since Zhao Dongyun integrated officially controlled banks such as Tianjin Official Bank and Fengtian Bank into the Bank of China, the bank has become the largest bank in northern China. However, due to its dual status as a central bank and commercial bank, the Ministry of Finance has specially The commercial business in the Bank of China has been separated. The Bank of China only retains the financial supervision, currency issuance and other functions of the Central Bank, while the commercial business is separately established as 'Huatong Industrial Bank' for management.

Subsequently, the bank merged into several official banknote numbers under the financial jurisdiction of Zhili Province, surpassing the Industrial and Commercial Bank of the Middle East to become the largest official commercial bank in northern China.

The Middle East Industrial and Commercial Bank, formerly known as the official Huludao Industrial and Commercial Bank and Yingkou Official Bank, merged these two local government-run banks into a provincial-run commercial bank during the reform of Fengtian by Zhao E, called the Middle East Industrial and Commercial Bank. The word Middle East inside is not the Middle East in the Arab region, but the Middle East, like the Middle East Railway Company, which specifically refers to the 'three eastern provinces of China'.

The above-mentioned Bank of China, Huatong Industrial Bank and Industrial Bank of the Middle East are also the three largest banks under the control of the Soviet Union. The transformation of the Bank of China into a central bank is not to mention it for the time being, while the capital scale of Huatong Industrial Bank and the Middle East Industrial Bank is very large, and these two banks are in addition to normal commercial transportation. Outside the camp, its goal is mainly to support the development of domestic industry and commerce, especially industry.

For this Huatong Industrial Bank, Zhao Dongyun still attaches great importance to it and took time to attend the opening ceremony!

From the moment he cut off the ribbon, China's largest official commercial bank also began to operate!

And the official business of the bank has also brought a great impact on the capital of the north, especially on many private banks in the north. For example, Dingsheng Bank, the first large and modern private bank in northern China, has developed very rapidly in recent years, although its scale is not as good as that of officials. Several banks have been run, but they should not be underestimated, but the strong competition of Huatong Industrial Bank now will inevitably lead to certain changes in the bank.

It's okay for large-scale private banks likeding sheng Bank, but it's a fatal blow to more small-scale private banks and ticket numbers in China.

For example, dozens of large and small bank ticket numbers in Yingkou have been struggling since a few years ago. Some have been forced to transform, but now they are facing more fierce competition from those big banks, which has forced them to start further unite or simply transform.

Less than a month after the establishment of Huatong Industrial Bank, more than ten banks in Yingkou reached a joint agreement and then established Yingkou Commercial Bank.

From the establishment of Huatong Industrial Bank, and the development of Dingsheng Bank and the emergence of Yingkou Commercial Bank, it can be seen that China is experiencing earth-shaking changes in recent years. Old-fashioned banks and ticket numbers have gradually disappeared, replacing banks of various names.

What used to take for granted has now become heresy, and novel things in the past have now become commonplace.

Just when Huatong Industrial Bank opened its doors and occupied the northern capital market, Yang Deming also took his 14th division and boarded the south train!
