The Rise of the European Emperor

"The Rise of the European Emperor ()"!

The reason why Marin tried his best to improve the "swarm of bees" was actually to prepare for the military operation against the Grand Duchy of Moscow in the second half of the year. Because it is a long journey, it is definitely not possible to bring heavy artillery. Therefore, a swarm of bees, a big killer that is easy to carry, has become a very good choice.

Moreover, the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow has a strong oriental Mongolian style, and even the armor style is very oriental. It belongs to iron armor or chain mail, and there is no plate armor that is popular in Western Europe.

Therefore, this kind of magic arrow-style weapon is very suitable for attacking the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. In particular, probably due to the influence of the Mongolian cavalry, there are also many light cavalry in the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Even, many Tatars were employed by the Moscow army.

Once these Mongolian-style light cavalry charge, the scale of tens of thousands will be very imposing, overwhelming, and very oppressive.

At this time, it is necessary to quickly suppress its momentum. In this way, not only can the morale of the opponent be hit, but also the morale of one's own army can be prevented from being lowered.

For this expedition, Marin certainly brought three or four thousand musketeers who used slugs. But if they are divided into three rows, the number of each row will be only a thousand people, and they will not be able to suppress the firepower and extinguish the arrogance of the cavalry on the opposite side.

The problem of suppressing cavalry could not be solved well until the 19th century. Facing the large-scale charge of the cavalry, there are only two ways. One is to learn from the Swiss and place it on the ground obliquely with super long hair to block the enemy cavalry; the other is to use shotguns to strike at a range.

At present, Marin is unwilling to take out the shotgun, and the spear array is somewhat passive. Muscovites have been ruled by the Mongols for hundreds of years, and they know how to ride. If these guys learn from the Mongols, shoot the spear formation with a bow and crossbow, and then split into two, and run to both sides, the Beihai army will be a little dumbfounded. After all, the spearmen dare not leave the formation to chase down the cavalry.

Therefore, at this time, you can take out a swarm of bees with an increased range, and hit the Moscow light cavalry rushing up to make the opponent honest.

Because it is a saturation attack, the effect caused by the swarm can be comparable to that of a machine gun. Of course, sustainability is no match for machine guns.

But Marin didn't expect to be compared with the machine gun. If the machine gun forms a cross-fire network, it can effectively kill the vital force of the enemy cavalry. However, if you use a swarm of bees, you can only defeat them, not eliminate them. After all, if the opponent escapes from the effective range, they will not be finished.

However, Marin did not expect to destroy the Muscovite cavalry. Because, there is a balance issue to consider here. If the Grand Duchy of Moscow is beaten too hard and the entire army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow is wiped out, the Lithuanians will be cheaper in the end.

And Marin just wanted to grab the population of the Grand Duchy of Moscow,

And not for Lithuanians as wedding dresses. Therefore, he only wants to be defeated, not eliminated.

In this way, even if Marin wins the battle, the Grand Duchy of Moscow will not lose too much troops, and it still has the strength to fight against the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

Moreover, according to the script, it should be the Grand Duchy of Moscow who first dispatched a large army to disable the Lithuanian army. Then, Marin will find an excuse to end in person.

At that time, Marin will come up with an improved version of the swarm, a saturation blow, and defeat the main force at the forefront of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Then, while its army was fleeing, it launched an attack to defeat the enemy.

But Marin will selectively hunt down, for example, deliberately let go of the opponent's light cavalry. At the same time, let go of most of the normal infantry, as long as they surrender. The ones who really chased and killed were mainly the opponent's heavy infantry wearing armor, as well as the absolute main force such as musketeers and gunners, suppressing their ability to resist.

In this way, the power of the Grand Duchy of Moscow in frontal battles will be greatly weakened. And those ordinary infantry without armor may not be good on the frontal battlefield, but they can be used to defend the city without any problem.

In other words, what Marin attacked was mainly the offensive force of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. The defensive force will be preserved to a certain extent.

In this way, even if the army of the North Sea State withdraws from the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the army of Moscow will have enough strength to defend against the attack of the Lithuanians.

At that time, because both sides have been maimed, the conflict between them will turn into pecking at each other, no one can hurt the other, at most it will make the opponent uncomfortable.

In this way, after Marin has reaped the benefits, he does not have to worry about Lithuania's annexation of Moscow. And if the difference in strength between the two countries is not too great, it will be difficult for a parliamentary country like Lithuania to make up its mind to fight Moscow. Because the congressmen are careful and thoughtful. On the contrary, in a centralized country like Moscow, it is easy to unify thinking and fight with others to the end.

Therefore, even if the Grand Duchy of Moscow has failed many times in history, it can still stand up. Because, when desperate times are needed, Muscovites will dare to place bets. On the contrary, a country like Lithuania, where the Sem (Parliament) is in power, will hesitate when it is time to be ruthless, eventually lose many opportunities, and finally be annexed.

This is why Marin doesn't like the European-style parliamentary system very much, because this system will lead to procrastination, quarrels and indecision. It's okay in peacetime, but in wartime, if you can't make up your mind for a long time, you will suffer a lot. In addition, in the face of disasters, the reaction will be slow. Because, you will find that there are always people in the parliament who will demolish your platform and hold you back.

Therefore, Marin felt that the conference system of the later generations of China was very good, and it was only held once a year to focus on solving some legislative issues and line issues. However, do not interfere with daily decision-making and avoid internal friction. It's like a European-style parliamentary system, and it's very annoying that the parliament will quarrel for a few days even if it's a big matter. If there are many things, and they quarrel and resolve them one by one, it may take a long time. In particular, in order to show their sense of presence, some congressmen stand up and argue even if they have no reason. It's noisy, and there will be a fight. Then, business was delayed.

Therefore, Marin also intends to carry out parliamentary reforms in Beihai State. Specifically, the parliament withdraws from the daily management sequence and only convenes once a year. During the slack season, that is, winter, a month-long meeting was held in Aurich, and important issues such as legislation and taxation, as well as the evaluation of officials, were concentrated and resolved. After the meeting, where should the parliamentarians go, and for the remaining 11 months, daily affairs will also be handled by official agencies.

Of course, councilors, including local councilors, also have the responsibility of supervising local officials. If someone is extorting money from the local government, or committing crimes, members of parliament are eligible to report the situation directly to the supervisory department and request an investigation.

"Parliament is held once a year?" The current prime minister, Haider, widened his eyes when he heard Marin's decision, and found it incredible. Because this is tantamount to depriving parliamentarians of most of their rights. How do you show your authority when you only have one chance to speak every year?

That is to say, in the Beihai Kingdom, Marin relied on the mountains and rivers conquered by the army, and the old nobles were weaker. If it was changed to other countries, Marin might have encountered a rebellion if he weakened the power of parliament in this way. Moreover, it was a collective rebellion of the nobles.

However, the old nobles of the North Sea Kingdom were all concentrated in Bremen Province by Marin, and they had no rights. Marin even limited the number of their guards, so no one opposed Marin's resolution at all.

As for Haider, Marin obviously strengthened his authority by doing so, so although he was surprised, he would not object.

Of course, there must be some people who object to this matter. For example, a group of people in the parliament expressed their protest. However, they are all mascots with little authority, and Marin doesn't care too much.

However, in order to step down these mascots, Marin still gave an explanation-the North American colonies (the first four colonies except the Kingdom of America-Cuba, Cape Breton Island, New York and Savannah) also had the right to send Delegates attend the annual parliamentary assembly and exercise their rights. But because it is too far away, it is inconvenient to go back and forth, so it is reasonable to hold a parliamentary meeting once a year...

Although some congressmen suggested that the colony could send permanent representatives to Aurich, Marin refused. The reason is that the resident representatives cannot even understand the colony's situation and the colony's demands. So, well, that's it...

In fact, this is already a way of saving face. Because, no matter how much the congressmen object, it will be invalid...

Members of Parliament are mournful, but there is nothing they can do. Because they have no ability to oppose Marin's resolution. Before, Marin had weakened the power of parliament on a large scale. This time, Marin made another move, allowing the parliament to hold only one general meeting a year, leaving them with nothing to do.

As for the resident councilors, there are also, but most of them are concurrently held by ministers. As a result, the formulation of some small regulations can be discussed and decided by ministers without waiting for the parliament to hold a general meeting. Of course, these small regulations cannot violate the laws enacted by the Parliament. If you want to make regulations that are contrary to the laws made by the Parliament, you need to wait until the General Assembly is held.

Besides, if war breaks out, everything is at the discretion of the king. The king has the right to promulgate and enforce wartime regulations, even if the regulations are contrary to the Act of Parliament.

Moreover, according to the constitution of the North Sea State, the monarch has no right to dissolve the parliament at will. However, members of parliament can be disqualified for the crime of "opposing the royal family". This seems to limit Marin, but in fact, because the opposition can be expelled, it doesn't matter whether the parliament is dissolved or not. If it is opposed by all members of the parliament, then what the king has done is a failure, and it is not far from the end...

In addition, Marin also introduced the military representative system, requiring military representatives to account for one-fifth of the total number of members, that is, 20%. But the army representative is sent directly by the army, and the army belongs to the king. Therefore, these 20% of the votes will definitely support the king. To achieve half, you only need to get more than 30% of the votes. If this is not possible, such a monarch is too failed.

In fact, Marin is basically saying the same thing now, and the parliament dare not oppose him. After all, the old aristocratic class was defeated by him, and the new aristocratic class is still growing. But Marin's reforms were not for himself, but for Caesar and his successors after Caesar. They don't have the absolute authority of Marin, and the new noble class will become stronger by then. Therefore, this is paving the way for future generations.

Of course, because it copied the advanced system of China hundreds of years later, the system of Beihai State is very advanced, hundreds of years ahead of other countries in this era.

The only thing that needs to be reformed is probably the industrial adjustment. After all, expensive food cannot last long. One day, the secret of Beihai's high grain production will be revealed. At that time, food prices will fall, and agriculture will no longer be able to make huge profits. At that time, it will be necessary to carry out industrial adjustments, and adjust to the industrial side as much as possible. But before other countries discover the secret of high grain production, Marin can still enjoy the dividends for a long time...
