Chapter 324: Zhao Dongquan
No matter what the era, it is very common for many families within the interest group to carry out extensive marriages, and there are not only so-called considerations such as the door-to-door relationship, but also the consideration of political interests.
For example, Xiong Xiling did not know where to find a niece, and then married her to Zhao E's eldest son, and for example, the eldest daughter of Hong Putao, the chief of the military's quartermaster department, married Kong Guanbei, the commander of the Fifth Brigade.
However, the previous marriages within these Soviet interest groups were clearly distinguished, basically civilian officials and civilian officials, military generals and military generals, and it is rare to say that there was a marriage between civil and military officials.
There is also a reason for this, on the one hand, to be honest, there is a huge difference in humanistic values between the people of the two military and political terms, although many of the senior generals in the Soviet Feng Army are from overseas students and landlord families, but in fact, most of them are from middle and lower class society, and there are not many people like Zhao Dongyun who were originally from big families, and many of them are children of poor families. As for the civil official group, to be honest, although there is a saying that there is a court in ten years, in fact, in the political arena of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, most of those powerful civil officials were from high society, and most of them were scholars.
For example, many former Qing bureaucrats serving in Zhao Dongyun's republican government today are basically from traditional scholarly families. In fact, a considerable number of students in the cabinet and various ministries and governments are self-financed, and if you want to study at your own expense these years, it will cost at least more than 1,000 or even 2,000 or even two or three thousand pounds to study for three or four years.
Except for a very small number of regimes, in fact, the vast majority of the high-level officials in most regimes will be from the upper class, and there are actually very few children from the real poor families.
As a result, in the two terms of the Soviet military and government, there were basically more people from high social backgrounds in the civilian system, well, that is, the so-called social elite group in this era, after all, politics has always been a game that only social elites can afford. However, in the military circles, although there are many officers from landlord families, they are basically small and medium-sized landlords, but the children of really prominent families will not be any big soldiers.
Therefore, in terms of social background alone, the group of military generals is far inferior to that in the civilian system, and China has always had a tradition of emphasizing literature over military force for thousands of years, so many civilian officials who claim to be scholarly are disdainful of marrying those clay-legged officers.
In addition to family background, humanistic values, etc., it is also related to Zhao Dongyun's strict prevention of collusion between the military and the government, Zhao Dongyun himself is a warlord, so he has been thinking about rebellion all these years, but on the other hand, he is also preventing his subordinates from becoming warlords and creating his own rebellion.
This is due to the fact that he dispersed many powers of the army into the various departments of the high command, strictly prohibiting the troops from privately recruiting troops, purchasing weapons, and interfering with the salaries of soldiers, etc., even if it is a captured enemy soldier and firearms, the troops cannot decide on their own to replenish these prisoners and ordnance on the spot, but must go through the Ministry of Education, the Ordnance Department and other departments of the Command Department to be able to obtain the replenishment of these captive surrendered soldiers and ordnance supplements, even if this procedure has caused many troubles in the system, but Zhao Dongyun would rather trouble, The inefficiency is low, and they are reluctant to open this opening.
At the same time, for the sake of the senior generals of the army to seize the locality, so he has always implemented a strict policy of separation of military and government, last year, after the four major warlords of Beiyang raised troops, the Feng army was blocked by the anti-Feng coalition forces, and was forced to return to the Guanwai, Zhao Dongyun set up the Yuguan Defense Command in the area of Tangshan and Shanhaiguan in the Guannei, and Meng Enyuan served as the commander. If this is placed in other warlord troops, this Meng Enyuan will be able to become a small warlord in the Soviet family. But in fact there is no, why? Because when Zhao Dongyun established the Yuguan Defense Command, he also set up the Tangshan Administrative Office to fully manage the administrative affairs of Tangshan, Chengde and other jurisdictions in the Guannei.
At the beginning, Meng Enyuan had no power to meddle in government affairs.
For example, Zhao Dongyun never appointed any headquarters with a fixed defense area, and the generals of the troops could basically only hold troop positions, such as brigade commanders, division commanders, and army commanders, but there was no "commander-in-chief of Shandong defense" and "commander of bandits in northern Jiangsu" like other warlord systems.
Moreover, after the defeat of the enemy's prefecture and county, the military rarely conducts officers except at certain moments, because the cabinet will always send officials from local prefectures and counties to take office as soon as possible, and then the police department will begin to form police and patrol police to maintain local law and order.
After this policy of separating the military and the government from the government has been implemented for a long time, it has gradually evolved into a basic principle within the Soviet system, and many military and political dignitaries know that Zhao Dongyun does not like military and political dignitaries to hook up together, so for the sake of their own power and safety, they also deliberately or unintentionally avoid the other person.
Although Zhao Dongyun has never said about the separation of the military and the government, Zhao Dongyun's attitude is known to most people, which has caused the separation of the military and the government in the Soviet Union to be relatively clear, and the local government basically does not see the military generals meddling in the affairs of the local government, and the local government basically keeps a distance from the military, and even the labor army, supporting the military logistics is actually very rare, because the military itself has a logistics supply system, which is interesting to say. The Feng army does not prohibit the front-line troops from collecting grain and grass on the spot when the supply is tight, well, in fact, it is robbery.
However, the field troops themselves are not allowed to have direct contact with the local government to ask for food and grass, and even if the military does not need local support in a timely manner in the supply of military logistics, people from the quartermaster department, the ordnance department, and other departments will generally come forward to contact the local government, and the commander-in-chief of the unit has always been strictly prohibited from making all kinds of demands on the local government without permission.
In this kind of big back, the important members of the military and government are actually very rarely married to each other, at least Fang Biyong has never heard of any recent marriages between senior military generals and cabinet members, and most of the marriages are between generals and generals, officials and officials.
It's the same as between Zhao Dongping and Gu Lanyu's sister!
It's just that when Fang Biyong is curious, this Zhao Dongping is not just the chief of the ordnance department, he is also Zhao Dongyun's cousin who is extremely dependent, if Gu Lanyu's sister marries Zhao Dongping, wouldn't it be a family with Zhao Dongyun?
Thinking of this, Fang Biyong only hated that he didn't have a sister of unmarried age, if he had introduced it to Zhao Dongping or Zhao Dongyun's other cousins or younger brothers, wouldn't he be able to be in-laws with Zhao Dongyun?
I don't know how many people in contemporary China want to have an in-law relationship with Zhao Dongyun, and it is naturally not okay to marry this daughter to Zhao Dongyun, and now it is a republic, and it is monogamous that is preached, and even concubines can no longer be accepted. If it is said that divorce and remarriage, Zhao Dongyun, as the president of the republic, basically cannot do such a thing as divorce and remarriage for the sake of his own image needs.
What's more, Fang Ruolian and Zhao Dongyun have been married for many years, although there is a Li Wan in the middle, and they have also experienced years of infertility, but the relationship is still harmonious, and after Fang Ruolian gave birth to a son in August this year, her position is even more stable.
Out of political considerations, even if Zhao Dongyun is tired of Fang Ruolian, he will definitely not divorce Fang Ruolian. To put it bluntly, no one can take away the throne of the president's wife under Fang Ruolian's buttocks, even if she wants to give it up.
Otherwise, look at Li Wan, in the early years, she didn't expect Zhao Dongyun to get a divorce, but now, Li Wan herself has already died, and in recent years, she has raised her little daughter with peace of mind.
Marrying the daughter of the family to Zhao Dongyun, don't even think about this kind of thing, as for giving it to Zhao Dongyun as a mistress in private, to be honest, ordinary people don't have the courage to do this kind of thing, except for Li San, who is almost like a slave, others really don't dare, unless they plan to position themselves as favored ministers.
However, he also heard that Zhao Dongyun's younger brother Zhao Dongquan had just returned from Japan a few days ago, and although Zhao Dongquan was not young, he knew that he was not married yet.
Why don't you learn from a few other people, and then the third daughter of the second uncle's family comes out to meet Zhao Dongyun? If it can be done, wouldn't it be possible to directly climb the in-law relationship with Zhao Dongyun!
Thinking of this, Fang Biyong's mind was activated, although he didn't have a sister suitable for the age, but there were several unmarried cousins of the right age, when the time came, let the family call those cousins to take a look first, if there is a suitability, you might as well create some opportunities!
When Fang Biyong had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and in the reception room behind the banquet hall, Zhao Dongquan, who he had planned to marry, was sitting in front of Zhao Dongyun.
Zhao Dongquan, Zhao Dongyun's younger brother, one year younger than Zhao Dongyun, studied in a private school in his early years, and studied the Four Books and Five Classics hard in his childhood and youth, and also tried the road to fame, but he has not been able to be admitted to Xiucai. In 1900, Zhao Dongyun returned from Germany, and then returned to serve in the Wuwei Right Army, during which he went back to his hometown in Xuzhou to visit his mother, and at the same time took his younger brother out of home, and then sent him to Japan to study.
This Zhao Dongquan was admitted to a local middle school in Japan after studying at a language school, and after studying hard for several years, he tried to apply for the Japanese school, but the entrance examination of the contemporary Japanese students was very intense, and he was not an official student, so he failed to be admitted, and finally was admitted to the private Waseda University for several years, and graduated from China this year.
This Zhao Dongquan has been studying in Japan for six years, but Zhao Dongyun's career in Germany has been much longer, and this international student can easily see from them that he has a different temperament from ordinary Chinese people after living abroad for a long time.
