The generals and marshals that the world often says are all military ranks, such as army generals, field marshals, naval marshals, etc., but although Zhao Dongyun is a soldier, he is the national commander in charge of the navy and the army, so naturally he cannot be dismissed with the rank of a single service.

Later, the Quanxu Office proposed to give Zhao Dongyun a special military rank of 'national marshal' or 'marshal of the sea and land', but it was not in line with the current system of the Feng army and different from the military system of Western countries, so it was abandoned, but Zhao Dongyun couldn't do it without a military rank, otherwise it would not be easy to get even epaulettes, so the Quanxu Office simply regarded the position of 'Generalissimo of the Republic of China on land and sea' as a military rank, which made this title have the dual characteristics of position and military rank, and specially formulated the peony Venus as the micro-chapter of this exclusive Zhao Dongyun.

Zhao Dongyun's current dress is more casual except for the somewhat conspicuous peony Venus on his shoulder, and he thought he was an ordinary Fengjun officer.

In this way, he formed a strong contrast with the senior generals behind him who were wearing high-ranking generals' dresses, and surrounded by everyone, it was almost obvious at a glance that this seemingly ordinary person was the core of everyone's trip today.

Yang Deming next to him Yang Shande of the Ministry of Education followed Zhao Dongyun closely, and beside Zhao Dongyun, he deliberately bent down slightly, lowered his head and explained to Zhao Dongyun: "The recruits of the 14th Division are Yongping and Chengde, and the Tangshan area can be regarded as our old area, which is still relatively supportive of us, and the recruits are all good people who know their roots!" ”

For example, the 11th Division, which was newly formed last year, has the source of its soldiers is the Jinzhou Mansion and the Xinmin Mansion in Fengtian; The recruits of the 12th Division came from Tuchang and Hailong Mansions.

This is mainly to solve the problem of different dialects of soldiers, China is so big, local dialects, not to mention different provinces, even a province often has a variety of dialects, plus although there is a so-called official dialect in these years, but those rural children who have never left the village in their lives and have not gone to school naturally do not know what the official dialect is, and they can only speak a local dialect when they go out to serve as a soldier. In this case, in order to solve the problem of different words of soldiers, soldiers from the same prefecture and county are often grouped into the same unit. In fact, the Beiyang Army in Yuan Shikai's era had already done this, and basically the soldiers in each town came from different places, 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 recruited from Henan.

At the same time, it is also to increase the cohesion between soldiers, and many soldiers are friends who play together in the same town or even the same village, which helps to enhance the cohesion between soldiers. However, there are also disadvantages to this move, on the one hand, it is easy to form local divisions, and in addition to the combat effectiveness and equipment of the troops, it also has a great relationship with the folk customs of the conscription area, the folk customs are docile, and the soldiers recruited from the more developed commercial areas often have average combat effectiveness, but this problem is not big for the time being.

Because although the requirements for physical conditions are sometimes lowered in the conscription of the Feng Army, there is one restriction that is dead, that is, only the good sons of rural families who know the roots and have the guarantee of the village chief or village chief!

Basically, we don't accept the children of those small citizens in the city, and we definitely don't accept homeless people and soldiers!

In this era, the rural areas of China, whether they were in Fengtian or Tangshan or Jiangsu, were all the same poor, and the soldiers selected from the rural areas would not have many troubles with the soldiers in the urban areas.

Zhao Dongyun didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and after a while, he had already climbed the stands, and at this time, he saw that the school yard was blue-gray! These blue-gray formations are lined up in phalanxes!

Subsequently, these phalanxes carried out some exercises that were not useful, although these drills did not help much in actual combat, but on the other hand, it can also be seen that the discipline of the department and the soldiers' suzhì, after all, if a unit does not do well in line drills, it is even more expected that they can have how strong they can be.

Yang Deming on the side was also a little worried, whether he could really rise in the Fengjun group in the future and become a famous general of the Fengjun army with Gu Lanyu depended on the 14th Division under his command, and even more importantly, Zhao Dongyun was dissatisfied with his ability!

At this time, he was worried that Zhao Dongyun was not satisfied with the drills of his subordinates, he had commanded troops to fight on the front line, and naturally he also knew that these drills belonged to the shelves and were useless, but today's time is limited, and the venue is limited, he can't give Zhao Dongyun a large-scale exercise.

Fortunately, he saw that Zhao Dongyun was more serious, and he didn't show any dissatisfaction, which made him feel a little relieved

At this time, Zhao Dongyun also turned his head: "Deming, it seems that you have worked hard these days, and you have trained the fourteenth division quite well, and you have the momentum of the third town back then!" ”

Although Yang Deming was overjoyed when he heard this, his face was full of fear: "The president is overrated, how can Deming He De dare to compare with you, seniors, although the fourteenth division trained by the younger generation has begun to take shape, it is still a great distance from becoming a strong army like the third division!" ”

Although Yang Deming's expression was frightened, and although his words were modest, several military generals on the side couldn't help frowning when they heard it, this Yang Deming was shameless, and he always took out the relationship with Zhao Dongyun's school, a senior, a junior, and several other people were quite dissatisfied in their hearts.

Isn't it just that he studied in the same military school as Zhao Dongyun, as for hanging on his lips every day!

Especially Shi Yanglin in the back, who was born as a further studyer, he was extremely dissatisfied with Yang Deming and the president saying that the seniors and juniors, he Shi Yanglin called Zhao Dongyun a teacher and held a disciple ceremony, if this Yang Deming became Zhao Dongyun's junior brother, then wouldn't he have to shout uncle?

Since Shi Yanglin took office as the head of the Operations Division after Yang Deming, he has always been regarded as a benchmark figure in the small group of advanced students. And the group of advanced students has always been relatively xenophobic, not to mention looking down on officers from other military academies in China, even most of the officers who studied in Japan and Germany were also looked down upon by them, but who is Yang Deming? He is the benchmark figure of studying in Germany.

Therefore, although he was the director of the Operations Department for two terms, the relationship between Shi Yanglin and Yang Deming was not harmonious.

However, at this time, Shi Yanglin naturally didn't say anything, he just snorted coldly in his heart!

With the end of the exercise, Zhao Dongyun officially awarded Yang Deming the military flag of the 14th Division, announcing that the division was officially an army!

After presiding over the formation ceremony of the 14th Division, Zhao Dongyun did not stay too long, but did not return directly to the 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, and its predecessor was part of the business unit of Bank of China.

Since Zhao Dongyun integrated the official banks such as Tianjin Guanyin and Fengtian Bank into the Bank of China, the bank became the largest bank in North China, but because the bank is both a central bank and a commercial bank, the Ministry of Finance in order to better sort out the domestic finance, specially separated the commercial business of the Bank of China, the Bank of China only retains the central bank's financial supervision, currency issuance and other functions, and the commercial business is a separate establishment called 'Huatong Industrial Bank' for management.

Subsequently, the bank was merged into several government-run bank numbers under the financial jurisdiction of Zhili Province, surpassing the Industrial and Commercial Bank of the Middle East in one fell swoop and becoming the largest government-run commercial bank in northern China.

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

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

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

From the moment he cut the ribbon, China's largest government-run commercial bank began its official operation!

The formal operation of the bank is also a great impact on the northern capital, especially on a number of private banks in the north, for example, the first large-scale modern private bank in northern China, the prosperous bank, this bank has developed very rapidly in recent years, although its scale is not as good as a few government-run banks, but it should not be underestimated, but now the vigorous competition of Huatong Industrial Bank will inevitably lead to certain changes in the bank.

It's fine for a large-scale private bank like Dingsheng 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 money banks in the Yingkou area have been struggling since the beginning of the early years, and some have been forced to start transformation, but now they are facing more fierce competition from those big banks, which has forced them to start further alliances, or simply transform.

Less than a month after the establishment of Huatong Industrial Bank, more than 10 banks in Yingkou reached a joint agreement, and then established Yingkou Commercial Bank.

From the establishment of Huatong Industrial Bank, and then look at the development of Dingsheng Bank and the emergence of Yingkou Commercial Bank, it can be seen that China is undergoing earth-shaking changes in recent years.

What was once taken for granted is now heretical, and what was once novel is now the norm.

Just when Huatong Industrial Bank opened its doors and wantonly squeezed the capital market in the north, Yang Deming also took his 14th division and boarded the southbound train!
