Chapter 1683： Civil and military responsibility

From Giuliano's name, Felice is an ambitious woman. If Marin had not promised to support Felice's eldest son, Robert, for the Pope in the future, maybe Felice would return to Rome.

In fact, Marin was very nice to the few children Ferris had. Robert Marin was determined to hold him as Pope in the future, and Ma Yun also booked the heir to the Earl of Dongfan on Taiwan Island. As for Giuliano, he was also called the Count of Uruguay, whose territory was several times larger than that of Taiwan.

Of course, in terms of benefits, Jack Ma's territory is more affordable. Don't look at Dongfan Island is very small, but because it can trade with the Ming Dynasty, the status is extremely important. Casually deducting profits is much better than Giuliano going to Uruguay for farming.

In fact, since deciding to develop Australia, Marin is also thinking about which son to give Australia in the future. No way, there are no planes or diesel-powered ships this year. It ’s far outrageous to want to go to Australia from mainland Europe. Therefore, it is better to separate Australia.

Why did the ancients engage in sub-enclosure? Wasn't it traffic inconvenience?

During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the development of the entire China was not high, and the rhinoceros was even everywhere in the Central Plains. At that time, the population was not large, and the grain output was low. Therefore, the court at that time could not support so many troops stationed everywhere. Moreover, there was no unified road across the country at that time, and management in the field was extremely difficult.

Therefore, under the production conditions and traffic conditions at that time, the sub-enclosure system was more reasonable than the centralized system. Mainly, it ’s too far to manage ...

By the time of the Qin Dynasty, manure had begun to be promoted and used, and the grain output was greatly increased. And Qin Shihuang ordered the construction of Chidao, the earliest "national road" leading to the whole country, which has the foundation for managing the world. If there is no Chi Road, Qin Chao is difficult to manage the world.

At the same time, ancient Rome also built the Roman Avenue and completed the control of the huge Roman Empire ...

In other words, if you want to control a large site, traffic problems are critical. Why did Britain become the global hegemon in the 19th century Victorian era? Because steam warships only appeared and promoted in the Victorian era.

With the steam warship, Britain can successfully control the core colony of India, and it can also complete control of South Africa and Australia. Before that, it took a long time to go from India to India, and management was very inconvenient.

Therefore, at that time, India was entrusted with the management of East India Company. But after the popularity of steam engine warships, Britain clearly had the ability to directly manage India. Therefore, the British directly withdrew the management rights of India.

Marin actually took over the steam engine, but unfortunately it was the lowest-level single-cylinder watt steam engine, and it was still bloated. In addition, Beihai has a serious shortage of mechanical engineers at this time. If you want to successfully put a steam engine on a warship and create a more expansive marine steam engine that is more suitable for warships, the ghost knows when.

Therefore, Marin can only engage in a sub-enclosure system. Especially for the vast land in South America and Australia, apart from the most important Chile saltpetre mine and some gold mines, it is also a good choice to leave it to other sons to manage alone. Anyway, even if the brothers have a bad relationship in the future, they are still their own sons. The meat is rotten in the pot, but it's actually nothing. Presumably, Zhu Yuanzhang thought the same way at the time, so he didn't care about the big problem of the prince ...

In fact, Marin felt that he could not use such a large site. As long as he managed the sites of the later generations, the world power would not be able to run away properly.

Looking at the old beauty of later generations, starting from the coastal colony of thirteen states, expanding westward step by step, hitting the Pacific coast, a superpower known as the "land of heaven" was born.

Therefore, Marin gave Caesar and later heirs a secret family motto-never lose North America, even if you lose German territory, you must keep North America!

Continental is really endless in war, and it cannot develop well. Among them, Germany is the most sad reminder. Obviously it is a very powerful people, but it is trapped in the middle of the European continent-strong France in the west, Mao Zi in the east ... Austria in the south is its own family, and the Northwest Sea has been occupied and blocked by the British ...

Because of this, Marin made the plan to annex England from the beginning. Otherwise, Germany will still be locked in this broken place in Central Europe. In terms of the only advantage of Germany, I am afraid that the coal in the Ruhr area also has potash. Without these two strategic resources, it will be difficult for later generations of Germany to rise.

Of course, although Germany ’s geographical location is not good, the quality of its people is not bad. Mainly, do n’t counsel ...

Therefore, if German territory can be retained, it should be retained as much as possible. After all, Germany is a farming country similar to Qin State, and its best soldiers.

In fact, Huaxia was a powerful farming nation. Until the Han Dynasty, Huaxia was a country with strong fighting power, so there is a saying of "strong man". It is a pity that later on, Confucianism alone was respected, and a group of half-hanging Confucianists stubbornly tossed China into an egg-ridden country that could not fight.

It is not that Confucianism is useless, but that Confucianism should not be respected alone. At best, Confucianism is suitable for education, but not for others. The most appropriate distribution method is actually to let the Confucian rule the ritual department, let the soldiers rule the army department, let the Mo family rule the engineering department, let the farmer and merchants rule the household department, and let the strategists rule the diplomacy.

As a result, Confucianism is good, everything comes by itself, and if you do n’t understand, you blindly command, and you completely abolished Huaxia ...

The most ridiculous thing is that Confucianism has tossed Huaxia's war ability down too much. As early as the Warring States period, a Qin Kingdom with a population of 5 million people could gather 600,000 strong soldiers. In the Song Dynasty, there were obviously hundreds of millions of people, and the economy was prosperous, but they could only raise hundreds of thousands of people, and they were extremely laborious. In battle, it is also a loss ...

...

In Marin's opinion, the later Prussia was actually a replica of the Qin Dynasty. The only place that is more advanced than the Qin Dynasty is probably that Frederick the Great promoted compulsory education to make the quality of lower-level officers higher. However, after becoming the second German, the military class was too strong, and the whole country was kidnapped, which caused bad results.

Therefore, in the current Beihai country, although Marin encourages farming and rewards military achievements, at the same time, he has also trained many students among civilians as future civil servants.

At that time, the nobles governed the army, and the literati controlled the North Korean government. The two sides did not interfere with each other. Of course, noble children also have the right to participate in politics, but they must withdraw from the army for more than five years, and they will no longer be in contact with the generals within five years in order to participate in the political affairs. Moreover, the nobles who master the heavy soldiers, their children and brothers are not allowed to hold high-level civil service, avoiding the emergence of super families with civil and military domination. Similarly ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The children of the senior Wenchen family are not allowed to be senior generals ...

At the same time, for the management of the colony, Marin also adopted two sets of standards-the North American colonies were managed according to local standards and were controlled by the civil service system.

In places outside North America, the military aristocracy is demilitarized according to colonial standards. Among them, the interests are also biased towards those nobles who participated in the colonization, as compensation for the loss of military aristocracy's control of the local and North American civil service systems.

Of course, Marin will not allow them to establish an independent princely state, but will still be subject to local control. The local control is mainly military ownership and command. In terms of management, Marin's principle is to let go ...

To this end, Marin specially formulated a law on the separation of civil and military duties, but it was not immediately promulgated. Mainly, Marin did not want to expose the situation of the American colonies. But when the time is right, this decree will be made public.

However, he communicated with Schwarz, Kahn, Wagner, Steindorff and other top generals in private in advance, and revealed a little bit of information to them in advance.

Of course, in exchange for their support, Marin also paid very sincerely-Brazil ...
