The gendarmerie system first appeared in France, probably during the Anglo-French Centennial War. In order to fight against the English, the French employed a lot of Italian mercenaries.
But mercenary discipline is corrupt, and it often harms places. The French were helpless, and the marshals could only be sent by cronies to form military and military teams to maintain discipline in the army, so as not to harm the people. After all, the Hundred Years War was fought in the French mainland, and those mercenaries could not be allowed to harm France.
In fact, the gendarmerie system really shined during the Napoleonic Wars. In the early days, the European army was small and easy to manage. For example, a large army of 10,000 or 20,000 may belong to several mercenary regiments. As long as the head of the mercenary regiment is instructed, those regiments will help manage things well.
But once the size of the army is expanded, it will be difficult to manage. Especially mobilizing soldiers, because officers and soldiers are not familiar with each other and management is difficult. Moreover, there are many teams, and coordination is also a problem.
At this time, the gendarmerie forces need to come out to maintain order, so as to prevent those mobilized soldiers who are not professional enough from chaos. At the same time, it is also very beneficial to the maintenance of the discipline of the modern army.
In short, the existence of the military police not only maintains military discipline, but also facilitates the coordination and management of large-scale military forces. After all, the military police, while maintaining military discipline, are also the marshal's eyeline. They can see various problems in their eyes and report them in time, so that the commander-in-chief can make correct decisions.
If the General Staff System can reasonably formulate an operational plan, then the existence of the military police is conducive to the management of the army and the execution of military discipline. Moreover, they can also supervise the commanders of various legions, avoid them from gang formation, and privatize the army.
Of course, the army of the North Sea State currently has no problems in this regard. Mainly, to support so many troops, we can only rely on local tyrants like Marin. Changing other monarchs can't support tens of thousands of troops at all. That is to say, because of the new agricultural technology and sufficient food, the North Sea country allows those soldiers not only to be full but also to eat well.
Therefore, within a short period of time, Marin did not have to worry about the North Sea army losing control. If nothing else, as long as the military dares not obey the dispatch and cuts off the military supplies, it will be deadly.
Even if you want to feed tens of thousands of troops by grabbing grain, you have to have so much grain to grab. For example, the Fifth Corps stationed in Edinburgh, tens of thousands of troops, food supply can only rely on the local transportation of the North Sea country. Because, mainly in the mountains of Scotland, grain production is very low. It is troublesome to grab so much food.
However, Marin knew very well that one day, the secret of the high yield of grain in the North Sea country would be revealed. Moreover, the Portuguese have begun to contact the Ming Dynasty. Although the Portuguese had been doing business with one mind in history, they did not notice the advanced agricultural technology of the Ming Dynasty. It was after the Dutch console island in the 17th century that the Dutch learned the advanced agricultural technology.
However, history has now been changed by Marin. Under the influence of the "butterfly effect," the Portuguese may not be able to notice the advanced agricultural technology of the Ming Dynasty in advance. Although the people of the Ming Dynasty only used manure, it was far less than the technology of "complete three fertilizers" in the North Sea country, but it could almost double the output of grain in Europe. In this way, the supply of food will no longer be a problem.
Once the army can get a lot of military food from other channels, then Marin's current practice of relying on logistics to control the army is very problematic and no longer reliable.
Therefore, the establishment of the gendarmerie system is necessary. The gendarmerie is directly under the royal family and the court, which is conducive to direct surveillance and control of the army, and the role of generals led by surveillance.
Its role is a bit similar to that of the ancient Chinese military guards. However, it is different from the military. Huaxia ’s military superintendent, too powerful, also likes to intervene in general command. Especially the eunuchs and civil servants in the Ming Dynasty were definitely a scourge.
But the military police are different. The military police do not interfere with the commander's power to command the army, but only maintain military discipline. In this way, there will be no constraints on the commander. However, if the commander violates discipline or wants to privatize the army, then the military police are not vegetarian. Even if there is such a sign, it will be stopped.
Therefore, although the gendarmerie is not a supervising army, nor has the right to supervise the army, it can make the generals honest. Because, their small actions can not hide the military police.
It is precisely because of this scientific army management system that during the French Revolution, hundreds of thousands of French mobilized soldiers had more convenient command and better discipline than other countries.
Then, after being beaten hard by Napoleon, other European countries also learned the gendarmerie system. Then, the management of a large army of hundreds of thousands of people became more convenient.
However, the gendarmes of some countries have too much power. For example, the French gendarmes can once patrol the streets and even capture non-military personnel, much like Jinyiwei.
Therefore, Marin absorbed these lessons and only allowed the military police to enforce the law. As for civilians, they are not given the right to enforce the law and can only be given to the local police.
Although this has increased labor costs, it has also avoided the appearance of organs like Jinyiwei and secret agents, harming society.

Marin asked Sauer to select upright and inflexible soldiers in the army, preparing to form an experimental gendarmerie. Its leadership, directly under Marin, is headed by Sauer and is directly responsible to Marin. In the future, it will be gradually extended to the whole army.
At the same time, Marin will also incorporate spies into the Gendarmerie to monitor the head coaches of the various legions to prevent them from cultivating cronies and privatizing the army.
While Marin was busy forming the Beihai State Gendarmerie, Kohler suddenly sighed and sent a piece of intelligence from West Africa ...
"What a weird look? What interesting thing happened?" Marin was a little strange.
Kohler chuckled and said:
"Look at it, this is news about the Mauritanian sultan you picked, it's ... very interesting ..."
"Pukinski's?" Marrington was interested. But after reading it, he spouted a sip of tea that he had just drunk ...
"What? This guy castrated a group of young slaves?"
After reading the information, Marin was dumbfounded ...
...
What the **** happened? It turned out that Putinski and his 45 grandfathers had become the leader of thousands of black archers in Senegal. But, I do n’t know what happened, they were castrated, and the locals knew it ...
Then, although the local black people were photographed by force and dare not say anything on the surface, they often laughed privately at their gang. Moreover, the local blacks are bold and shameless because of their low level of civilization.
Just like a popular saying on the Internet in later generations-primitive society is good, primitive society people engage in anytime, anywhere ...
This gang of unremarkable black buddies, in front of this gang of grandfathers and the black girl ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Grey Chang Hao ......
Moreover, a lot of black people afterwards also talked about the black girl and that thing in front of the Maos.
Then, the self-esteem of the 46 grandfathers was seriously hurt ...
"Humph-Black Barbarians dare to humiliate us, we have to fight back!" A father-in-law Mao said angrily.
"How to fight back?" Another Grandpa Mao asked.
After everyone had been arguing for a long time, Putinsky, who had been silent, suddenly snapped:
"Well, do n’t they look down on us? In the future, we will select a group of black teenagers to give them all their strengths and teach them the skills as successors. But first, let those teenagers" remove the roots of trouble "..."
The others were stunned, and Pulkinsky's deputy Merov's eyes suddenly shone, saying:
"Fra (Putinsky's name), you mean that in the future our successors, even military officers, must be castrated blacks. In this way, no one will dare to laugh at us in the future?"
