The Rise of the European Emperor
Chapter 1599: The compulsory military service system in the colonies
Regarding the "Jinyi Night Walk", there were actually two interesting comparisons in ancient Chinese history - Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was in a hurry to return to his hometown to show off to his fellow villagers because he couldn't bear the "Jinyi Night Walk", so he moved the capital back from Xianyang. I went to Pengcheng near my hometown. Then, lost the world.
In contrast, Liu Bang, after conquering the world, was still able to hold back and did not return to his hometown to show off. Even when his father Liu Taigong missed his hometown, instead of sending him back to his hometown, he simply moved all of Liu Taigong's old past in his hometown to Guanzhong and rebuilt a town exactly like his hometown Fengyi. Later, it became the famous Xinfeng County...
So, if you want to be successful, don't rush to dress up. Otherwise, it is easy to be unlucky. Another negative example is the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it was not only his family who rebelled at that time. At that time, Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen and Xu Shouhui (Chen Youliang's original boss who killed the usurper with Chen Youliang's back) were all very powerful.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was smart and accepted Zhu Sheng's suggestion of "building high walls, accumulating grains, and being king slowly". In fact, the "deep digging, wide accumulation of grain, and no hegemony" of later generations of Taizu also learned from this. At that time, the Soviet Union loved to pretend to be compared, and was scolded by the old beauty with a group of younger brothers. As a result, the low-key Huaxia at that time could survive in the cracks. Otherwise, no matter which NATO or the Warsaw Pact fights against China with all their strength, we will not be able to stop it. Then, Huaxia pretended to be a grandson for another 30 years. Until Marin crossed, he had the strength, and it was too late when Laomei discovered it...
The most pitiful thing is that Laomei wanted to move Huaxia, but found that her country was de-industrialized. Without Huaxia, it would be difficult for Laomei to source daily necessities. Brother Chuan wanted to bring the factory back to Laomei, but the boss who opened the factory saw the labor cost of Laomei and directly retracted it...
Of course, Marin doesn't know if Lao Mei will fight hard in order to maintain her dominance. Thanks to nuclear weapons, otherwise, there must be a world-class war. After all, no one is willing to give up the leading position easily. For those peaceful people who want to give up nuclear weapons, look at what happens to Ukraine first...
Therefore, it is not a good thing to be too high-profile, especially when you do not have absolute strength. Although "Jinyi Night Walk" is uncomfortable, it is safe and affordable.
...
However, it's too early to say "Jinyi Night Walk" or something. Because the county of Philadelphia has not yet been established. At the moment, the first settlers, under Ridton's command, are busy building houses.
In this city, Marin didn't bother to use a new name, and directly misappropriated Kenton's name. Of course, not the city of Kenton, but the town of Kenton. After all, there are not many people here.
Riyton followed with 200 soldiers, mostly musketeers, but also 50 sword and shield soldiers. The reason for this configuration is because the Indians mainly use bows and arrows and do not fight you at all. Therefore, the sword and shield soldiers who can resist bows and arrows, and the musketeers who can counterattack are the most realistic.
And, in the future, immigrants from the New World, Marin will let go of the supply arquebus. After all, in this newly developed continent, there are many dangers, and immigrants, especially those in the frontiers, are very dangerous if they do not have guns.
But clockwork muskets or flintlocks or something, Marin absolutely does not allow civilians to own them. Because, clockwork muskets and flintlocks have great potential to be converted into pistols, which are very easy to assassinate. The arquebus can be used to deal with natives and beasts, but it is unlikely to be used for rioting and assassination. Therefore, it will be allowed to promote.
Moreover, the promotion of arquebuses is very beneficial to train the people of the colonies to become qualified musketeers. Soldiers can be recruited from the colonies as soon as the war requires them.
Marin, however, did not follow European traditions. For example, the colonies of New York and New Jersey, including the Cape Breton Island colony, were not allowed to have normal parliaments.
The parliamentary system was the source of colonial independence because the natives had too many rights. Marin forbade the colonies to set up parliaments, mainly because they were afraid that they would become independent in the future. However, residents were allowed to elect resident representatives and negotiate tax issues with the colonial authorities. In addition to taxes that can be negotiated, the colonies do not enjoy anything else. All laws shall be based on the mainland of Beihai. All judges must also be graduates of the law department of Aurich University (this is a long-term vision, there are no conditions yet).
From the outset, Marin had no intention of giving the colonies bargaining power. All Governors must also be locally appointed. Human desires are endless. You give the colonies the bargaining power at the beginning, and then they will open up more and more until they seek independence.
So, Marin simply blocked the door in the first place. But at the same time, the colonies were treated equally as overseas provinces, and the same system and laws were implemented. In this way, the colony and the native land will be one in the future.
A country is most afraid of differences. If everyone speaks the same language, wears the same clothes, and does the same things. So, who in particular wants to split?
Therefore, Marin did not allow the distinction between colonies and natives in the first place. The interests that the natives should have, the colonies also have. Of course, in the same way, the obligations of the natives, such as the obligation to serve in the army, must also be fulfilled by the colonies.
However, at present, Marin has not dared to engage in compulsory military service in the mainland, for fear of irritating the princes and France. But there is no problem on the colony side, because in the early days of the colony, the immigrants who got up early did need to have a certain ability to protect themselves.
For example, when building the buildings in Kenton Township, Ridton publicly announced Marin's order that the residents of Kenton Township must receive musket shooting training when they have nothing to do. When necessary, you need to join the army and protect your homeland.
This order was not resisted. Because these immigrants are different from ordinary people, they are exiled "criminals" and have no right to speak. Marin can repair their houses and provide them with various conveniences, which is already worthy of them. Moreover, participating in shooting training and defending their homes was originally for their own good.
But they don't know that these are actually the foreshadowings of Marin's promotion of "compulsory military service". When they are all used to serving, in the future, Marin will have the army in his hands.
Moreover, the implementation of compulsory military service in the Americas, far from the European mainland, will not leak any news at all, and will not cause a backlash from European countries. In the future, when Marin pulls a vote from the colony to return to the mainland to fight, the European countries will react...
In addition, these exiled peasant army prisoners of war, although they are all scumbags at present, are prone to collapse. However, with training, the brave can always be picked out of them. They dared to rebel, but in fact they were more courageous than ordinary peasants. Train it, it can be used as a normal soldier.
Of course, many of them were coerced into participating in the uprising. It doesn't matter, anyway, in the future military training, the officers will also find out who is brave and who is cowardly. At that time, choose the brave ones to bring back to the homeland to fight.
Riton, for example, is now guarding Kenton with 200 soldiers, and the position is the company captain of the dissatisfied editor. However, this group of immigrants has a total of 3,000 strong men. During the slack season, training can be organized. In the end, from these 3,000 people, Riyton will select 1,250 people to form a phalanx. During the war, he will be promoted from the company captain to the phalanx commander... This is the reserve system under the compulsory military service system, and Riyton's 200 soldiers, including those with a certain commanding ability, will be promoted in wartime. , to become the grass-roots officer leading the team...
This is just this batch of immigrants. When the immigrants from Württemberg and Hungary arrive, tens of thousands of elites will be selected from them, and the formation of elite overseas troops will not be a problem at all...
