January 1, 1914 AD is New Year's Day.

Nanjing Confucius Temple, Shunde Ju.

"I heard that our division is going to be reorganized again?"

"Where did you get the news?" Xiong Shihui sipped his wine and asked Liu Zhi.

"It's been passed down from top to bottom in the division, hey! I'm asking you about business, why are you still drinking?" Liu Zhi was very dissatisfied when he snatched the wine glass from Xiong Shihui's hand.

Shaking his head with a smile, Xiong Shihui said cheerfully: "I said Jing Fu, you specially invited me to drink this drink. What's the matter? You don't want to give up the money for the drink?"

"Fart!" Liu Zhi put the wine glass heavily towards Xiong Shihui and said with a solemn expression: "It is said that there is a lot of reorganization noise this time, and the superiors may cancel the Eighth Division designation. What? Aren't you worried?"

"What's there to worry about? Worrying is the business of the brigade commander and division commander above. You and I are just small regimental officers. Why are we worrying about this? Come on, come on. Although you and I are brothers in the 8th Division, we can usually

We haven’t had many days to drink together, how about another drink?” Filling the glass with wine, Xiong Shihui raised it cheerfully as a gesture.

"You..." Liu Zhi's expression changed, as if he was angry with his friend's attitude, but before he could slap the table and scold his mother, Xiong Shihui burst out laughing.

"Jingfu, Jingfu, you are so worried." Xiong Shihui drank the wine in one gulp and asked seriously: "Have you forgotten who brought us to the Eighth Division? What is Mr. Zhangming's status now? Even if our division is reorganized

, how can Mr. Zhang Ming still harm you and me after he has failed others?"

Liu Zhi was stunned, rubbed his head and laughed: "That's true. It is said that Mr. Zhang Ming has become the president's son-in-law, and has also become the general office of the central bank. The Ministry of War reorganized the Eighth Division as the president.

Your confidant, Mr. Duan, has to worry about Mr. Fang’s face no matter what he does, right?”

"That's the truth!" Xiong Shihui nodded.

It has been several months since Fang Zida left Nanjing. During this period, Fang Zida did not forget the 8th Division and several close subordinates. He had always exchanged letters, especially with Xiong Shihui and Liu Zhi.

Xiong Shihui and Liu Zhi were brought to the 8th Division by Fang Zida from Beijing, and they were also chess pieces that he specially placed in the 8th Division. As passionate young people of KMT, Fang Zida knew very well that these two young people were sometimes impulsive and reckless.

.Back when they were all the way south, and when they were in the Eighth Division, Fang Zida often gave them a little help. As of today, it seems that Fang Zida's efforts are quite effective.

At least, when the news of Fang Zida's marriage to Yuan Sizhen reached Nanjing, these two original "dung men" didn't have much reaction. It seemed that everything was taken for granted. From this point, it is enough to see that their mentality and politics are gradually becoming mature.

change.

But when the central government decided to reorganize the troops, especially when the first rumor of the reorganization of the Eighth Division came from the north, there was still a feeling of uncertainty within the Eighth Division. Even Liu Zhi couldn't help but worry about it. To be honest,

Compared with Liu Zhi, Xiong Shihui had a thorough understanding of politics. He never believed that Fang Zida, who had used strong methods to hold the power of the Eighth Division, would hand over his power so easily, let alone that Fang Zida had spent so much effort to

He and Liu Zhi would abandon the Eighth Division after they were brought in. Although he couldn't guess what Fang Zida was thinking, he had a vague feeling that the reorganization was not that simple.

As expected, when Xiong Shihui and Liu Zhi returned to the military camp with a full meal and drinks, an old friend was already waiting for them. When they saw the visitor, they were immediately happy and hurriedly greeted him.

"Captain Zhang, when did you arrive? Why did you suddenly come to Nanjing?"

The person who came was none other than Zhang Huchen, the former captain of the 8th Division Military Police. Ever since he escorted Jiang Zhiqing and He Yingqin to Beijing, Zhang Huchen has been staying there. He and his dozens of former 8th Division Military Police seemed to have become Fang Zida in Beijing.

In the eyes of the officers of the Eighth Division, after Fang Zida took over the post of General Office of the Central Bank, Zhang Huchen, his confidant, was likely to leave the Eighth Division. Unexpectedly, Zhang Huchen suddenly returned and was found immediately

got them.

"Haha, I am still the gendarmerie captain of the Eighth Division. Of course I have to go back to Nanjing. What? Did someone remove me from this position?" Zhang Huchen, who was usually serious about his words, made a rare joke.

The three of them chatted and laughed and entered the room. After they sat down, Zhang Huchen stopped his smile, took out a letter from his arms and solemnly said: "I wanted to find you separately, but I didn't expect that Jingfu and Tianyi happened to be together today, so that's fine.

This is the letter Mr. Zhang Ming asked me to bring to you."

Hearing that it was Fang Zida's letter, Xiong Shihui and Liu Zhi quickly took it and read it carefully. Then, they exchanged looks and nodded slightly.

"Brother Huchen, please tell Mr. Zhang Ming that we will definitely do what you said in the letter."

"Okay!" Zhang Huchen, of course, knew what was written in Fang Zida's letter. Seeing them agreeing so readily, he smiled and nodded, but he added: "There is no need to tell you the message. To tell you the truth, Mr. Zhangming will come back in person after the Spring Festival."

Nanjing and Shanghai.”

"This is great! It will be much easier with Mr. Zhangming in charge in Jiangsu!" Liu Zhi said excitedly.

"What? The situation of the Eighth Division has changed now?" Zhang Huchen was stunned for a moment. After being imprisoned, Zhang Huchen had changed a lot. Coupled with the experience of following Fang Zida these days, he was no longer the one who used to play tricks on the overpass.

He was a simple man, otherwise Fang Zida would not have let him take charge of his own affairs. With a simple sentence, he heard Liu Zhi's different meaning and quickly asked.

Liu Zhi looked a little embarrassed, but Xiong Shihui explained for him. It turned out that since Fang Zida left, the Eighth Division Commander Zhao Hengti, who had been suppressed by Fang Zida, finally changed his attitude and began to slowly intervene in military affairs. Although,

Fang Zida hired Huang Kaiyuan to take over his position, and together with Wang Xiaozhen, he restrained his division commander Zhao Hengti, but after all, Zhao Hengti was the nominal division commander. These days, Zhao Hengti had done a lot of small tricks in private. On the one hand, he controlled Shanghai with the 31st Regiment of his trusted troops.

He and Huang Kaiyuan continued to compete for control of the Eighth Division. On the other hand, they also sent people to win over Jiangsu Governor Cheng Dequan, clearly intending to take advantage of Cheng De's full power and fully control the Eighth Division as division commander.

"Hmph! A clown!" Zhang Huchen snorted coldly. He had always looked down on Zhao Hengti, the division commander. If it weren't for Fang Zida's iron-blooded tactics, the dignified division commander Zhao Hengti would have been cornered by Lin Hu. For the overall stability of the Eighth Division, it was also

Considering Zhao Hengti's nominal position in the Eighth Division, Fang Zida has not made any move against him, but has allowed him to sit on the throne of the division commander. Some time ago, Fang Zida served as the deputy division commander, and Zhao Hengti cooperated in such a low-key manner. Who could

Thinking of this guy's ambition popping up as soon as Fang Zida left, it seems that Fang Zida did not do anything wrong when he had the idea to let Huang Kaiyuan take over as deputy division commander.

As for Jiangsu Governor Cheng Dequan, Zhang Huchen, the nominal Jiangsu boss, was even more dismissive. This incompetent governor hurriedly ran to the Shanghai Concession for refuge before the fight started. As soon as the overall situation was decided, he jumped out and shouted slogans in support of the central government.

What kind of talents are they already famous all over the world? What can these two guys do if they come together?

"Let them be happy for a while longer, there will be a good show waiting for them then!" Zhang Huchen said with a cold smile.

In Beijing, Fang Zida's mansion, Yuan Sizhen is helping to sort out the clothes. Although there is still more than a month before Fang Zida goes south, Yuan Sizhen has already made preparations for him.

"It's still early to set off. It's not as cold as Beijing in the south, so there's no need to bring so many things." Fang Zida couldn't help but say after entering the house and seeing several large suitcases.

"It's always good to bring more things with you when you are poor and rich. The water vapor in the south is strong and it is easy to catch the cold." Yuan Sizhen replied calmly and carefully put a folded coat into the box.

Fang Zida smiled and felt a little warm in his heart. Yuan Sizhen's wife was really good. For the first time in so many years, he finally felt like home.

After packing his luggage, Yuan Sizhen came to sit next to Fang Zida, resting his head on his shoulder, and asked quietly: "Zida, can't you take me with you?"

Shaking his head, Fang Zida touched her hair: "I have important things to do when I go to the south. It's too inconvenient to take you with me. How about I send someone to pick you up after the branch in Shanghai is established?"

Nodding, Yuan Sizhen rested his head on Fang Zida's thick shoulders and slowly closed his eyes, with a happy smile on his face. Fang Zida held a cigar between his fingers and frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something important.

He has already set up the framework of the central bank. According to his ideas, many aspects of the newly established central bank are based on the central bank a hundred years later. It has established the General Office, the Currency Department, the Finance Department, the Statistics Department, the Accounting and Finance Department, and the Payment Department.

Department, Currency and Gold and Silver Bureau, Treasury Bureau, International Department, Internal Audit Department, Personnel Department, Research Bureau, and Security Bureau. Most of the main personnel are the elite backbones he transferred from the Bank of Communications.

, As for Zhou Chen, who recommended himself, he temporarily served as the director of the general office, and changed the general office system to a general manager system, with Fang Zida as the general manager, Yang Du as the deputy general manager, and the other deputy general manager was sent by Tang Shaoyi, the chief financial officer.

Now that the central bank's framework is in place, the next step is concrete work. Coinage and financial rectification are the top priorities. The manufacturing bureaus in Nanjing and Shanghai will be re-integrated, and some will join the Monetary and Gold and Silver Bureau. As for other parts, they will join China Merchants Shipping Company, Hanyang

Iron Factory, Fang Zida will make other arrangements.

Therefore, Fang Zida had to leave Nanjing again and go to the south to handle official business. The time for the trip has been set, which is after the Spring Festival.
Chapter completed!
