Chapter 1984: Gendarmerie and military court

Frankly speaking, although the Qing Dynasty was the most embarrassing dynasty in history, the people's means of controlling the people were the first in the dynasty. For example, Mancheng in various places is a good way for the Qing Dynasty to control the world with flag soldiers.

These eight-flag soldiers live in a flag city isolated from the outside world, have their own small society and life circle, and are not very integrated with the outside world. However, the Manchu, which has a minority population, controlled the China Central Plains for 267 years.

These eight-flag soldiers are isolated from the outside world. Therefore, it is difficult to be assimilated by the Han people outside, plus good treatment, naturally loyal to the Qing Dynasty. In the late Qing Dynasty, although the Eight Banner Soldiers were worse than others, they could not beat the foreigners, but also the Taiping Army. However, it is more than enough to suppress ordinary people. After all, the unarmed people can't even fight against a bunch of armed gangsters, let alone thousands of soldiers?

Just like the Nanjing Jiangning Mancheng that was slaughtered by the Taiping Army, there were four or five thousand flag soldiers stationed in it for a long time. Including family members, there are 20,000 or 30,000 people.

It was the existence of the city in the city that made the people everywhere controlled by the Qing court. Without a strong uprising like the Taiping Army, it is difficult to resist.

Marin's plan was also to study the Qing Dynasty and to establish a city-in-the-city, such as a black city, in important cities around the world. Then, black cities were used to control cities and towns in Mexico and Peru.

Of course, Marin controls the core of the American colony, not the black people. In fact, the real core is the German mercenary.

Marin intends to build a smaller city-in-city within the black cities everywhere, also called white city, where a small number of German mercenaries are stationed.

In the white city, white people from the hometown live. Many of them will serve as officers of black soldiers and control this black army.

At the same time, there will be a military police unit in the white city, which will maintain the discipline of black soldiers. In later generations, as long as everyone knows, black discipline is the worst in the world. In order to prevent the black soldiers from flying and chaosing themselves, Marin needed a military police force to maintain military discipline. This army does not need to have a large number of people. It only needs 100 people to supervise tens of thousands of troops. They will all be composed of more disciplined German soldiers, who will specifically monitor black soldiers and prevent them from violating discipline.

Although, the first generation of slaves were generally honest and obedient. However, it cannot be ruled out that some of them have been away for a long time, lost their awe, and started to let themselves go. Therefore, the suppression of the gendarmerie is very necessary.

Moreover, controlling the chaos of black soldiers can also reduce the harm to the indigenous people in the colony. In this way, it is also possible to avoid the complaints of the colonial people as much as possible, and strengthen the local control of the colony.

In fact, the benefits of the military police go far beyond these. The existence of the military police can not only deter ordinary soldiers, but even deter generals.

Because of the existence of the military police, the generals who lead the army must also converge in their behavior. Because the generals also need to be supervised by the gendarmerie to avoid making mistakes and domineering.

Therefore, the gendarmerie is actually a role similar to Jin Yiwei, and has the responsibility of helping the imperial court to supervise the diseased generals everywhere.

Of course, the gendarmerie has only the power to enforce the law, but not the jurisdiction. Because the judicial power belongs to the military court. The reason why Jinyiwei can grow bigger is because Jinyiwei not only has the power of law enforcement, but also has the ability to imprison and have independent judicial power. Too much power can naturally become a hazard.

In fact, like Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, as long as the imprisonment is stripped from Jinyiwei, it can become a very good organization. Just like the military police of later generations, there is no harm. Because they do not have the right to convict people casually. Even if people are caught, they still act according to regulations, just like traffic police law enforcement. You didn't violate the rules, he wasn't good at you.

Thinking of this, Marin suddenly tapped his head:

"Yes, I almost forgot the military police and military court!"

Prior to this, the army of the North Sea country had been relying on Sauer's military agents to secretly monitor the army. Although the effect is good, after all, it is a bit secret and not very glorious. Moreover, it is easy for the general and the court to suspect and contradict each other.

If there is a gendarme in the army, and there is a gendarme in the army, not only will ordinary soldiers have many rules, but many generals will also be cautious.

Thinking of this, Marin called Sauer and ordered:

"You arrange for people to pick out a group of fair-minded soldiers from the army and form the gendarmerie! And you are the first commander of the gendarmerie in Beihai!"

"Gendarmerie? What is that stuff?" Sauer was a little dazed.

Marin introduced him to him, and Sauer suddenly realized that--

"Oh, it's the supervisor in the army? But the military statistics bureau under my staff has already sent someone to do this ..."

Marin shook his head and said:

"Not the same! Those military intelligence officers under your hands cannot reveal their true identities and have insufficient deterrent power. After the establishment of the gendarmerie, as long as they wear the gendarmerie clothes and dangle around the soldiers, those soldiers will not dare It ’s time. After all, military ruthlessness is no joke. "

Then, the military must set up a military court to judge the crime of soldiers. In this way, the gendarmerie has truly become a pure law enforcement team, and does not have the rights as Jin Yiwei.

At the same time, Marin did not intend to give civil gendarme rights like the French military police. After all, if the military police have the right to manage the people, it is very similar to Jinyiwei.

At that time, the gendarmerie will only be in charge of the discipline of military personnel, regardless of civil issues. Even if they participate in the suppression of the people, they will only be used as an aid to cooperate with other departments.

With the gendarmes on the bright side and the cooperation of the military intelligence officers hiding in the army, it is still easy for Marin to control the army.

In fact, the German soldiers themselves are very obedient. Therefore, even if there was no special military police before, there was no major problem with the army of Beihai.

But with the expansion of the army, after the non-German soldiers joined, the military discipline must not be as easy to manage as before. In particular, the black people who are used to slacking off, without a gendarme suppressing, may simply "go to heaven" ...

So ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ It is very necessary to form a military police to maintain military discipline. This helps indirect control of the army above. After all, in addition to the role of maintaining military discipline, the gendarmerie also has the responsibility of supervising the local army.

When encountering dissident local army generals, if they find something wrong, the military police can also report it. If you feel something is wrong, you can replace the garrison general based on these reports ...

Of course, no matter how good the military police are, Marin will not give them jurisdiction. In this way, to punish those who violate military law, a professional judge in the military court must be responsible for the trial of the soldiers who violate the law.

Military courts are independent of the military and are held by professional legal professionals. The most important requirement is fairness and justice. Moreover, it is best to have no relationship with the gendarmerie. In this way, when the relevant personnel are tried, there is no need to be interfered by the gendarmerie.

Without the judicial power, the military police will be reduced to ordinary law enforcement teams. Unlike the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei can sometimes be very arrogant because of the existence of the imprisonment system. It can even frame others. After all, imprisonment has an independent adjudication power and can be used as a tactic.

And as long as the military court is not with the law enforcement gendarmes, it can greatly weaken the rights of the gendarmes, so that the gendarmes will not become large or even become a hazard ...
