Chapter 1606: Grandchildren
In fact, the general staff system is nothing new. As early as the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty's ancestor Zhu Di established a cabinet with low power. However, the cabinet at that time was completely different from the cabinet in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
The cabinet created by Zhu Di has a very low grade of cabinet university scholars, with only the fifth grade, which is one level lower than the Shifu prefecture. However, the cabinet has the support of the emperor and can compete with the six Shangshu. But without the support of the emperor, only the cabinet scholars of the fifth grade could not compete with the six Shangshu.
In this way, the cabinet must rely on the emperor to compete with the six ministries. And the emperor firmly grasped the power.
It is a pity that the descendants of Zhu Di did not understand the mystery and could not help to upgrade the cabinet. The cabinet that was originally "bitter weight" has become "high weight." Especially when he came to the Emperor Jiajing who liked to repair immortals, the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet could check and balance the six after throwing away the Emperor. Then, the role of the emperor is dispensable ...
After the Wanli period, Emperor Wanli sadly found that the pit dug by his grandfather was too large, and now the cabinet can set aside his emperor alone ...
Then, Wanli, who was frustrated, did not go up for decades. Anyway, it is useless for him to go, the cabinet no longer needs him ...
Therefore, the cabinet in the late Ming Dynasty has become a super power that can replace the emperor. With power no less than that of a monarch, there will be more natural-eyed people. Therefore, the party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty was extremely fierce. Because everyone knows that whoever controls the cabinet gains power comparable to imperial power ...
After gaining the power comparable to the imperial power, the civil servants who entered the cabinet were full of food ... At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the entire Beijing city was the poorest of the emperor Chongzhen. …
In the final analysis, it was Jia Jing ’s idiot, who was busy repairing immortals and delegating all his powers to the cabinet ’s chief assistant Yan Song, which caused the situation of the cabinet ’s tail. He could rely on Jin Yiwei to get his rights back, but once the conventions were formed, his descendants would not be able to use the guards of the factory, so he could only be emptied by the cabinet.
Therefore, with the lessons of the Ming dynasty, when Marin drafted the document establishing the General Staff, he added a principle that the General Staff only had command power in wartime, and usually dared to intervene in the command of the army.
In addition, Marin repeatedly emphasized that the General Staff and the army have no subordinate relationship, and their status is no higher than that of the local army coach. This point, even the king has no right to change! If future generations have the intention to forcibly modify, the ministers can depose them in accordance with this clause ...
This one is very ruthless, that is, Marin is afraid that future generations will be as chaotic as the Ming emperor. Jiajing is not the first emperor to improve the status of the cabinet, and his predecessors have also contributed a lot in improving the status of the cabinet. In short, it is not the responsibility of Jiajing alone. The promotion of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty came step by step, not in one step. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet could already bully the emperor.
Malin was reluctant to have the situation of the Ming cabinet. Therefore, when he established the General Staff in the future, he would publicly declare these two principles, even the later monarchs could not violate it. Otherwise, it will be deposed according to law ...
...
Of course, in addition to the general staff system, Marin also had to consider another military minister, the Secretary of Defense, which is the Secretary of Defense for future generations.
The identity of this character is definitely higher than that of the local army commander and also higher than the general staff. How to prevent this person from monopolizing military power is also a very important issue.
Because, in peacetime, the General Staff cannot mobilize the army, but the Minister of Military Affairs certainly has the right. After all, in theory, the position of military minister is second only to the king in the military.
After thinking about it, Malin decided that the Minister of Military Affairs could only mobilize units below the corps level when mobilizing soldiers and horses. If you are mobilizing a legion level unit, you must ask the king. Then, the royal family issued the order. The Minister of Military Affairs has no right to issue orders directly to units at the corps level.
In addition, Marin also intends to imitate the Maozi of later generations and set up an internal guard to specifically surround the capital. This army is controlled by the king himself, and no one else has the right to intervene. Moreover, its organizational system is directly under the royal family and is not under the control of the Minister of Military Affairs. In other words, this unit is the Imperial Guard of Beihai.
Of course, this is all a matter of the future. Now in the North Sea, it is too early to say that. Marin knew that his generation must have taken control of the military power himself. After all, he has military knowledge hundreds of years ahead of his time, and no one can do better than him.
However, he dare not guarantee that his children and grandchildren also have military talents. If you encounter a military idiot, and then monopolize the military power, it is likely to be like the idiot of Ming Yingzong, bury the elite nation.
Therefore, in the future, Marin will definitely hand over the military power, leaving only the Imperial Guards in the capital, which is firmly controlled by the royal family. In other places, the military will teach the General Staff command to fight, and usually leave it to the Ministry of National Defense for management ...
Of course, the military expenditure must also be borne by the Cabinet. Unlike the current Beihai country, military spending is borne solely by Marin.
Fortunately, the grain prices in Europe were very high this year, and Marin kept the secret of high yields. Otherwise, Marin has no ability to feed so many troops.
However, in the future, the secret of high grain yields will definitely be revealed. By that time, the Huffman family would not be able to bear the military expenses of so many armies, and could only bear the burden of military expenses to the national tax.
Once this is done, the command of those troops must also be transferred to the Ministry of Defense of the Cabinet. At that time, the royal family will only have control of a guard army that defends the capital ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ to prevent the royal family from being easily subverted.
...
Those are all future things, and Marin actually does not expect his descendants to occupy the throne forever. He just hoped that his descendants would survive the wave of the French Revolution. As long as that wave lasts, after entering the 19th century, even if the royal family is subverted, it will not be easily sent to the guillotine.
Marin never expected future generations to be king, but only hoped that future generations would not be slaughtered by people like killing chickens and dogs. As long as it can last until the 19th century, it will not be easily slaughtered. Like the blood-filled royal family like Man Qing, all of them can survive, and Marin does not believe that the reputation of his descendants can be worse than them. As long as it lasted to the 19th century, his descendants would be life-threatening.
After the 19th century, royal family members were rarely killed worldwide. Even if they are subverted, members of the royal family will generally be exiled abroad, and will not be slaughtered as before.
Of course, if you can be like the British royal family, you can be a hypocrite. At least, there is no danger to life.
However, these Marin can only think about it. After all, children and grandchildren have children and grandchildren, and he really can't control the matter of future generations ...
