In addition to medals, quite a number of people have been promoted, especially the grassroots officers, and there have been a few outstanding officers who have been promoted to the third rank.

In addition to the rewards for military generals, Zhao Dongyun naturally did not fall behind the civil official system, although the entire Jiangnan strategy seems to be fought by military people, but in fact, the civilian system still contributes a lot, not to mention anything else, just raising military spending is a great achievement.

In addition, it also cooperates with the military to organize logistics forces to provide various military supplies for the front-line troops, and at the same time, it also cooperates with the military to actively carry out recruitment propaganda work in the rear.

It can be said that the front-line Feng army is fighting, but hundreds of thousands of civil and military officials of the entire Soviet system are fighting for it!

So this credit is not only the credit of the military, but also the credit of the civilian system.

The rewards of the civilian system are similar to those of the military, and they are also focused on honor, that is, the honor.

Zhao Dongyun successively promoted or awarded medals to high-ranking officials in the government.

At this time, Zhao Dongyun was a little grateful to Wang Yingkai for the medal system he came up with, this thing is a good thing, it doesn't cost much, even if it is a meritorious one, it is only a few thousand yuan per year, and this kind of nominal thing can also be used as a heavy reward to meritorious people at some time, no matter how good you look at it.

However, with the establishment of the title system, especially after the title regulations clearly stipulate that the title system is equated with the Mongolian Wanggu title system, it makes people think that the title is a kind of title.

After the fall of the former Qing Dynasty, the republican government of Wang Yingkai's era, in order to win over Mongolia, but also to avoid intensifying national contradictions and other concerns, announced that it would continue to recognize the titles of the princes of Mongolia, so don't look at the current domestic republic, but now there are still all kinds of princes and county kings in China, of course, the republican government will never recognize the Manchu princes of the former Qing Dynasty. However, the Southern Federation still recognizes it.

In the ordinance on the honor, the great medal is equivalent to the prince, the prince of the county, etc., but this medal is temporarily only Zhao Dongyun and Wang Yingkai, they both got this rank as the president, and it is unlikely that it will be awarded to other high-level generals and officials in the future, and it is estimated that only the future president will be able to continue to receive this great honor.

One Lord is equal to a duke, two is equal to a marquis, three is equal to an earl, four is equal to a viscount, and five is a baron.

The clear provisions on the ordinance of the medal have made more people directly regard the title as a knighthood.

Zhao Dongyun's lavish reward this time also allowed many civil officials to be promoted, and several people won the medal for the first time.

In the past few days when Zhao Dongyun was rewarding, no matter the Jiangnan front or the Beijing division, you can see smiling faces everywhere!

Get promoted and get rich, who doesn't like it!

Of course, in the past two years, Zhao Dongyun has also been hyping up the national and national consciousness, calling on the majority of young people to fight for the unification of the country and the rise, okay, this is also an excuse, Zhao Dongyun said that the purpose of these is to let these young people fight for themselves.

Regardless of the era, many lofty slogans are merely tools of the rulers.

With the capture of a series of important cities in the Jiangnan region such as Jinling, Zhenjiang, and Shanghai, it was announced that the Soviet system had controlled most of the Jiangnan region, and after militarily controlling these areas, the Soviet system also carried out administrative takeover of these areas in a timely manner.

The cabinet sent a large number of officials to the Jiangnan region to take over the administrative vacuum after the withdrawal of the Anhui system, but it was only limited to the high-level, for ordinary middle and lower-level officials, the Soviet system is the same as in other provinces, as long as they are willing to surrender to the Soviet system, then they will basically continue to retain them, this is not to say that Zhao Dongyun does not care about the past suspicions, but because it is impossible for the Soviet department to find tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of basic civil servants to directly fill these gaps.

This is a kind of helplessness in the real situation.

The Soviet Department successively sent a large number of high-ranking officials to Jinling, Zhenjiang, Shanghai, Suzhou and other cities, and at the same time rectified several state-owned factories that were originally controlled by the Anhui Department, the most obvious example of which was the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

At the same time, in order to expand the output of the Jiangnan Arsenal and improve its technical capabilities, Huatong Industrial Bank also announced an additional investment of 5 million yuan in the Jiangnan Arsenal, which will be used to purchase equipment and introduce advanced technology to expand the existing production line of Type 88 rifle guns, bullets, shells, machine guns and artillery.

As for the Jiangnan Shipyard, Huatong Industrial Bank did not make much investment, but in order to build ships, the navy used the money earmarked for the development of the navy in the aftermath loan from the United States to place an order for an 800-ton gunboat to the Jiangnan Shipyard, and the order was as high as 1 million yuan.

With this order, coupled with the fact that Jiangnan Shipyard originally had orders for repairing warships and manufacturing ships, it was enough to make Jiangnan Shipyard live very well in the next two years.

Huatong Industrial Bank took control of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and split it up, while the Industrial and Commercial Bank of the Middle East, another state-owned bank controlled by the Soviet Union, followed suit and took over another arsenal of the original Anhui system, the Jinling Manufacturing Bureau.

Although the bureau suffered certain losses in the war, the main equipment was still there, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of the Middle East, which intended to compete with Huatong Industrial Bank and Fuyuan Machinery Factory in the defense industry, also invested a huge amount of 3 million yuan at one time for the maintenance of equipment, the purchase of new equipment, and the construction of new plants.

After Huatong Industrial Bank took over the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, although the bureau was split, it still retained and tried to expand many of its original businesses, including rifles, ammunition, artillery, mortars, etc.

However, after the Industrial and Commercial Bank of the Middle East took over the Jinling Manufacturing Bureau and changed its name to Jinling Arsenal, it still put its main business on heavy machine guns and light machine guns.

The Jinling Manufacturing Bureau originally had the ability to manufacture Makqin heavy machine guns, and in the past two years, it has also produced a lot of heavy machine guns, and now the Industrial and Commercial Bank of the Middle East wants to make the Jinling Arsenal stronger and bigger machine gun business.

In addition, it has invested heavily in the introduction of equipment and patented technology for the manufacture of MG08 heavy machine guns, and is expected to become the second domestic manufacturer that can produce this machine gun after Fuyuan Machine Factory in the future.

Jiangnan is an important agricultural and industrial area, and it can be said that it is very difficult to reorganize and provide the Soviet system with the impetus for war, and it will take a certain amount of time for this region to contribute huge military expenditures and a large number of industrial products to the Soviet system.

After all, Zhao Dongyun and Wang Zhanyuan are different, after Wang Zhanyuan arrived in northern Zhejiang, he had the mentality of taking a handful and leaving, and he could make as much as he could, but he didn't think about anything like development.

However, Zhao Dongyun, he plans to build the Jiangnan area into an important place for his own tax contributions, and he collects taxes, but he can't say that after arriving in Jiangnan like Wang Zhanyuan, he will directly make a big profit, without worrying about anything else.

When the Soviet civilian system was working hard to integrate the Jiangnan region into the Soviet system, the generals of the military were naturally not idle.

First of all, the remnants of the Anhui army were pursued by the enemy, and after taking Jinling, the troops of the Feng army successively went south to Jurong and Lishui, and then quickly advanced south to Liyang and Huzhou.

However, when it was on the periphery of Huzhou, because the Fourth Division of the Anhui Army led by Duan Qirui and other troops were also in Huzhou, the front-line Feng army did not act rashly, but rested on the spot.

By May, the Feng army had completely controlled the southern Jiangsu region, and it could finally be said that the whole of Jiangsu had been brought under the rule of the Soviet system.

And with Wang Zhanyuan and Duan Qirui, he held in Huzhou, Jiaxing and other areas in northern Zhejiang.

At this time, the Feng army also stopped the large-scale offensive that lasted for several months, and after the previous months of operations, the Anhui army suffered great losses, but the Feng army itself was not much better.

The Fourth Mixed Brigade was almost completely annihilated, the Ninth Division suffered heavy losses, especially the 33rd Regiment was completely disabled, and although the 14th Division was victorious, it was the same as the Ninth Division before the heavy losses of soldiers, and only about 10,000 people remained. The other 3rd, 10th, 15th, and 1st Mixed Brigades also suffered heavy losses.

In order to replenish the above-mentioned troops to full strength, the Ministry of Education needs to provide at least 20,000 recruits.

Not to mention, at the same time, the Feng Army is still implementing the ideal establishment of 1908, and at present the army has decided to expand the 3rd, 9th, 10th, 14th, 15th, and 1st Mixed Brigade to the 1908 establishment, which requires even more for new recruits.

As soon as the Jiangnan War ended, a large number of recruits sailed south to Shanghai from Tianjin, Huludao and many other northern ports, and then used to replenish the various armies fighting south.

In order to make up for the shortage of soldiers, it was naturally impossible for the Feng army to give up many prisoners of the Anhui army.

For the handling of prisoners, Fengjun already had a complete set of plans, unless the senior generals took the initiative to surrender, otherwise they would all be sent to Beijing for house arrest, and in the future, if they had a good attitude, they would be given a false position such as a consultant, and those with a bad attitude would have been under house arrest, and if they wanted to see the light of day, they would have to wait for the reunification of the country.

For colonel-level officers, those who are unwilling to surrender are also sent to Beijing under house arrest, and those who are willing to surrender are directly sent to the Fengtian Military Academy for re-study, observation, and later distribution to various units. For the lieutenants, those who are unwilling to surrender are also imprisoned, while those who are willing to surrender are directly assigned to serve directly in other units to fill the huge shortage of officers in the Feng army.
