The gendarmerie system first appeared in France, around the Hundred Years' War in Britain and France. In order to fight against the English, the French hired a lot of Italian mercenaries at that time.
However, the military discipline of mercenaries was corrupt and often harmed the local area. The French had no choice but to send close confidants to form a military legal team to maintain military discipline in order to avoid harming the people. After all, the Hundred Years War was fought in France, and those mercenaries could not be allowed to harm the French mainland.
In fact, the gendarmerie system really shone brightly during the Napoleonic Wars. In the early days, European troops were small in scale and were easier to manage. For example, a large army of 10,000 or 20,000 may belong to several mercenary groups. As long as the leader of the mercenary group is instructed, those group leaders will help manage the things well.
However, once the army expands, it will be difficult to manage. Especially for mobilizing troops, because officers and soldiers are not familiar with each other and are difficult to manage. Moreover, with more teams, mutual coordination is also a problem.
At this time, the military police force is needed to maintain order, so as not to mobilize troops who are not professional enough. At the same time, it is also very beneficial for the maintenance of the discipline of the modern army.
In short, the existence of the military police force can not only maintain military discipline, but also facilitate the coordination and management of large-scale military forces. After all, those military police officers, while maintaining military discipline, are also the marshal's eyewitness. They can take various issues into consideration and report them in a timely manner, so that the commander can make correct decisions.
If the General Staff system can reasonably formulate combat plans, then the existence of the military police will be conducive to the management of the army and the implementation of military discipline. Moreover, it can also supervise the commanders of various legions to prevent them from forming cliques and privatizing the army.
Of course, the Beihai Army has no problems in this regard at present. The main reason is that if you support so many armies, you can only rely on a tycoon like Malin. If you replace other monarchs, you will not be able to support tens of thousands of troops. In other words, the Beihai Army has new agricultural technology and enough food to allow those soldiers to not only eat enough, but also eat well.
Therefore, in a short period of time, Malin still doesn’t have to worry about the Beihai Army losing control. Not to mention anything else, as long as the army dares to disobey the dispatch and cut off military rations, it will be dead.
Even if you want to support tens of thousands of troops by robbing grain, you have to have so much food to grab. For example, the Fifth Army stationed in Edinburgh, with tens of thousands of troops, can only rely on local transportation of the North Sea Kingdom. Because Scotland is mainly mountainous and the grain output is very low. It is more troublesome to grab so much food.
However, Marin knew very well that one day, the secret of high grain yield in the Beihai country would be revealed. Moreover, the Portuguese had already begun to contact the Ming Dynasty. Although the Portuguese were originally dedicated to doing business in history and did not notice the advanced agricultural technology of the Ming Dynasty, it was only after the Dutch console island in the 17th century that they learned the advanced agricultural technology of the Ming Dynasty.
But now history has been changed by Marin. Under the influence of the "butterfly effect", the Portuguese may not have noticed the advanced agricultural technology of the Ming Dynasty in advance. Although the Ming Dynasty only knew how to use manure, which was far less than the Beihai country's "three-fertile" technology, it could almost double the grain output in Europe. In this way, the supply of food will no longer be a problem.
Once the army below can get a lot of military rations from other channels, then Malin's existing practice of relying on logistics to control the army will become a problem and will become less reliable.
Therefore, it is necessary to establish the military police system. The military police directly belong to the royal family and the court, which is conducive to directly monitoring and controlling the army and the role of surveillance leading the army.
Its function is somewhat similar to the military supervisor in ancient China. However, it is different from the military supervisor. The military supervisor in China had too much power and liked to point fingers and interfere with the command of generals. Especially the eunuchs and civil servants in the Ming Dynasty, it was definitely a disaster.
But the military police are different. The military police do not interfere with the commander's power to command the army, and only maintain military discipline. In this way, there will be no constraints on the commander. However, if the commander violates the discipline or wants to privatize the army, the military police are not vegetarians. Even if there are such signs, they will be stopped.
Therefore, although the military police are not military supervisors and do not have the right to supervise the military supervisors, they can make the generals honest, because their small actions cannot be concealed by the military supervisors.
It is precisely because of this scientific military management system that during the French Revolution, hundreds of thousands of French mobilized troops, which was more convenient and disciplined than other countries.
Then, after being beaten by Napoleon, other European countries also learned the gendarmerie system. Then, a large army of hundreds of thousands of people became more convenient to manage.
However, the military police in some countries have too much power. For example, the French military police were able to patrol the streets and even arrest non-soldiers, which was almost the same as the Jinyiwei.
Therefore, Marin absorbed these lessons and only allowed the gendarmerie to enforce the law against soldiers. As for civilians, they did not give them the right to enforce the law, and could only hand it over to the local police.
Although this increases labor costs, it also avoids the emergence of agencies like Jinyiwei and spies, which harms society.

Marin asked Sauer to select upright and unrestrained soldiers throughout the army and prepare to form a experimental gendarmerie. Its leadership is directly under Marin, with Sauer as the leader and directly responsible to Marin. Later, it was gradually promoted to the entire army.
At the same time, Marin will also incorporate spies into the military police to monitor the commanders of various legions, preventing them from over-cultivating their confidants and privatizing the army.
Just as Marin was busy forming the North Sea National Gendarmerie, Kohler suddenly laughed and sent an information from West Africa...
"Why are you doing something weird? What interesting things have you encountered?" Marin was a little surprised.
Kohler laughed and said:
"Look, this is news about the Mauritanian Sultan you selected, it's very... very interesting..."
"Pkinsky's?" Marling immediately became interested. But after reading it, he sprayed out a sip of tea that had just been drunk in his mouth...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What? This guy castrated a group of teenage black slaves?"
After reading the information, Marin was stunned...
...
What happened? It turned out that although Puginski and his 45 Mau became the leaders of thousands of black archers in Senegal, they didn't know what happened, but the news of their castration spread and the locals knew about it...
Then, although the local blacks were taken by force and dared not say anything on the surface, they often teased them privately. Moreover, the local blacks were bold and shameless because of their low level of civilization.
Just like a dirty saying in later generations said - primitive society is good, and people in primitive society do it anytime, anywhere...
These unqualified black buddies are so arrogant and bold in front of these Mao Eunuch Mao...
Moreover, afterwards, many black people talked about the black girl and that matter in front of the Maoists without any hesitation...
Then, the self-esteem of 46 Eunuch Mao was seriously hurt...
"Hmph--The black barbarian dares to humiliate us, we must fight back!" One Mao Gong said angrily.
"How to fight back?" Another Eunuch Mao asked.
After everyone quarreled for a long time, Pukinsky, who had been silent, suddenly made a decision:
"Well, don't they look down on us? In the future, we will select a group of black teenagers to train them with all their strength, teach them their skills, and be the successors. However, we must first remove the troubles and...
The others were stunned, and Puginsky's deputy Merov's eyes lit up, and he said:
