Chapter 1395: Renew the life of the pope's father-in-law

The reason why Marin so determined the rank was obviously accidentally showing his ambitions-he kept the ranks of generals and marshals, does it not imply that he wants to go further in the future? Otherwise, why do you intentionally leave two ranks empty?

Of course, Marin would not admit that he was killed. Moreover, in this age when the nobility was mostly dudes, very few could see this. It's not smart enough, but no one can think of Marin, a son of a lowly knight who dares to covet the position of the king or even the emperor. After all, Europe in the 16th century was a class-solidified region, and there was basically no civilian counterattack to become king.

If in China, the five generations who had experienced chaos, some princes had already shouted the slogan "The emperor would rather have a kind? Soldiers and strong men are ears". Those who are familiar with history in China must doubt Marin's intentions. In Europe, there is no case where a small person counterattack is king, so generally no one can guess Marin's ambitions.

In addition, while working out the military medal and rank system, Marin also wanted to reform the military establishment, so that the army of the Beihai State adopted the establishment of the military division brigade and battalion of later generations.

However, when trying to promote it before, it was met with resistance from the military. Why? First, the soldiers in Beihai are accustomed to the old establishment and change it rashly. They are not very happy. Also, the current military tactics are very different from those of future generations.

In the later generations, because they all use continuous firearms, a team of several people can rely on trenches and fortifications to block fire. But this era is different because the smoothbore gun is used and the loading is slow. Therefore, in order to form combat effectiveness and resist the charge from the cavalry, it is generally necessary to line up the soldiers to meet the enemy.

In a square formation, the 250-person company and the 1250-person square formation have become a more suitable organization.

Therefore, the current military establishment is the most reasonable without changing the general approach to combat. As for the establishment of the military division brigade and battalion in the future market, what actually fits is the establishment of the post-gun era.

Of course, the compilation method of later generations must be more scientific. However, under the premise that the major tactics cannot be completely changed, Marin is too lazy to modify the military establishment.

...

In fact, even with the military rank system, Marin felt that the soldiers, second-class soldiers, first-class soldiers, corporals, sergeants, sergeants, sergeants, lieutenants, lieutenants, captains, majors, lieutenant colonels, colonels, majors, brigadiers, major generals, A total of 20 ranks of lieutenant generals, generals, generals and marshals are too much. Because the Beihai army currently only has four major levels (25 troops), companies (250 men), phalanxes (1250 men), and 10,000 legions (10,000 men) (there are fewer cavalry). To 20 promotion levels.

Because, the modern military rank system of level 20 actually corresponds to the needs of the era of later generations. Since the beginning of the French Revolution, the French Jacobins took the lead in working out a compulsory military system of "all men are soldiers" in Europe. Since then, the size of the European military has skyrocketed, and the number of military forces in various European powers has generally increased from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands to the size of hundreds of thousands of large armies. By the time of the Naval War after the Civil Revolution, the number of troops mobilized by Napoleon had reached the scale of 570,000 troops during the expedition to Russia.

By the time of World War I and World War II in the 20th century, the size of the European army had even reached the terrible scale of millions of people.

In this context, the knighthood, baronage, viscount, earl, marquis, and duke levels of the knighthood system in the past clearly cannot meet the need to honor the military service of the generals. Therefore, we had to come up with this military rank system of up to 20 levels, instead of the knighthood system. Otherwise, there are dozens and millions of troops, so many officers, there are not so many titles at all.

Even better, this 20-level rank, with 7 ranks in front of soldiers, second-class soldiers, first-class soldiers, corporals, sergeants, sergeants, and sergeants, is completely set up for civilian soldiers. These 7 levels alone are enough to fool civilian soldiers. In the past, the officer was basically used to deal with the noble children. Only school-level officers are considered to be true ranks of nobility.

As a result, so many ranks are enough for the soldiers to slowly rise up one level at a time, without worrying about the proliferation of senior nobles. Moreover, there is no need to pay any land.

Therefore, although the military scale of the North Sea State does not yet use the rank of 20, Marin has implemented a rank of 20 to meet the needs of the larger army in the future.

In other words, in the ancient Qin Dynasty in China, it seems that the 20-level military knighthood system was also implemented ... But when Marlin thought, it seems that the Qin Dynasty people also implemented the "all soldiers" system, which was more than 1800 years earlier than Europe ... … No, starting from the establishment of the 20-level military marquis system in Shangyang Reform, it was probably more than 2100 years before Europe. When the Qin Dynasty sent Wang Jian to Chu, under the premise that Li Xin ’s 200,000 troops were wiped out by Chu, Qin ’s whole country could still get 600,000 troops to Wang Jian ... It seems that the number of Qin ’s army was 20 The rank of military rank is well matched ...

All in all, the 20-level military rank system was actually created in order to cooperate with the large army. Although the current size of the Beihai military is only tens of thousands, it is still a precaution to plan for a 20-level military rank in advance. Even if the army grew to a scale of more than 200,000 to 200,000, the 20-level military rank system was enough. Always give hope to the soldiers, give them a 20-level military rank to let them slowly rise, it is better than a few ranks of the knighthood system where it is difficult to see rising hope ...

...

Marin was busy for a long time. After racking his brain, he decided to arrange the modern military rank system of the North Sea Army. In particular, these 20 ranks were promoted by Marin as a new knighthood.

For example, a lieutenant corresponds to the rank of aristocratic child (wandering knight) between nobles and civilians; a school-level officer corresponds to the baron class; as for a general, it corresponds to the viscount (comrade-in-chief, including the major), and the count (maj. General), Marquis (Lieutenant General), Duke (Admiral), King (General) and Emperor (Marshal).

But even better, although the military rank corresponds to the title, the military rank system is more rogue. Because, having a military rank does not mean that there is no land to pay taxes. Relying on the modern military rank system, Marin can get rid of large areas of land. Even if he wanted to give the land, Marin would seal the land of the officers to the vast expanse of America. In this way, there is no need to crack the soil on the mainland.

...

After busy with the reform of the military rank system and military medals, Marin suddenly received an intelligence from Rome, which surprised Marin. The information reads-On February 21, 1513, Pope Julius II suffered a serious illness and was rescued by the doctor sent by the Grand Duke (the original doctor of the Golden Horde Palace) come back. But since then, the body of the Pope has become weak ...

Malin suddenly realized that it seemed that Julius II had died in history at the end of February 1513. In other words, this time I was sick, and I should have killed Julius II. But because Marin dispatched the doctors who recruited the Golden Horde from the demise to stay in Rome in advance, it saved the life of Julius II. Otherwise, let the savage and quack-healing treatment in Europe in this era, his pope father-in-law will die upright ...

However, his cheap pope father-in-law could not die. After all, Marin still needs him to help himself withstand the pressure of the German church princes. At least, do n’t die this year. Otherwise, once there is no pressure from the Holy See, the German church princes who see themselves as unhappy can really unite with the secular princes ...

So, Marin decided to give his cheap old husband a life ...

...

Julius II is old and decayed. After all, he is almost 70 years old, and aging is impossible. Therefore, Marin needs an Xinglin master to help the elders recuperate.

Fortunately, among the doctors Ma Lin brought back from the Ming dynasty, there is a master who is good at helping the elderly to recuperate the body-Hu Taiyi. So Marin invited Dr. Hu to ask him to go to Rome to help his old father-in-law. At least, to support this year ...

Doctor Hu Tai stroked the goatee and said:

"Sovereign, if it is not difficult to recuperate the body of the Pope, many good medicines are needed ..."

"No problem, you can pick the herbs I brought back!" Marin did not hesitate.

"Old decay is to say that you need heaven and earth ..."

Marin clapped his hands and immediately brought out a beautiful wooden box. Marin opened the wooden box, and a human-shaped wild ginseng with many tentacles was revealed, and Hu Taiyi's eyes widened in shock ...

"This is a hundred-year-old wild ginseng that I bought at a high price from the hands of the tributary envoy of Yehebu Yexibu in the west of Liaodong Province when I was in Beijing."

At the beginning, Marin met the tributary messenger of the Hexi Jurchen Yehebu (the source of the later Yexinarashi of Cixi) who came into the Beijing tributary by chance. Marin saw that the tributary envoy of Yehebu carried a sack of ginseng ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ like a carrot. Then, he spent a few thousand two silver dollars and bought a few hundred-year-old wild ginseng with more tentacles from the envoy ...

Marin believed that he actually regarded him as a fool in his heart. Because, in this era, the old mountain ginseng was the most indispensable in the old forest of the northeastern deep mountain where Yehe was located. Send some ginseng experts to collect wild ginseng for decades. As for the old mountain ginseng over 100 years old, although there are few, it is not lacking. Malin became a few thousand monks, almost more than the court gave back.

After all, all the ministries in eastern Liaoning, including the Jianzhou Jurchen and the Haixi Jurchen, are still competing to pay tribute to ginseng. Although Laoshan ginseng is expensive, it can be obtained with only one or two hundred silver. It was not until the establishment of Jin after the late Qing Dynasty that the channel of Liaodong's attack on the Ming court was broken, and wild ginseng became precious ...

After seeing this hundred-year-old wild ginseng, Hu Taiyi immediately nodded and said:

"It's okay to be old. With this wild ginseng, the old is guaranteed to keep the body of the Pope's body unbroken for more than a year ..."

In this way, Dr. Hu took a hundred-year-old wild ginseng and a cart of precious medicinal materials, and was escorted by hundreds of cavalry from the Beihai Kingdom.
