Chapter 5 The System of Military Government

In addition to the corresponding system in the military aspect, Zhang Jiashi did not make greater changes, but basically repaired the corresponding framework of the Liaodong Army itself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info八一?Chinese

This is actually a change, but it can be said that Zhang Jiashi has to make a choice at the moment.

It is true that some systems in later generations were relatively more advanced than those of the Qin Empire. But as the best is not necessarily the best.

Zhang Jiashi didn't have much idea about this point, but Zhang Jiashi, who had been in charge of the regional military and political affairs for many years, and now had a very deep idea of the military and political affairs of the Great Qin Empire.

Although the overall situation of the Qin Empire at the moment is not full of holes, it can be regarded as a situation that has caused Zhang Jiashi to fall into a state of anxiety due to many aspects of unhappiness.

For example, the current civil affairs of the Qin Empire, relying on the productivity of Liaodong, Guanzhong, the Sichuan Basin, and the Hebei Plain, which gradually resumed production, have been regarded as a great improvement compared to the war.

But I have to say that the current Zhang Jiashi believes that the current Qin Empire is actually not much fundamentally different from a concept in later generations.

That concept is the junta.

......

In later generations, the military government was also known as the military ****, which means that the political power of a country is held by the army. The vast majority of military junta was established through coup d'état.

The most important feature of a military junta is the imposition of military laws or the declaration of a permanent state of emergency. In general, the majority of the junta is made up of military personnel. Some junta will include some civilian officials, but the military commander will still hold the supreme power. The junta will advertise itself as non-partisan and blame civilian politicians**. However, the rule of the military junta is usually a **** dictatorship.

The junta is, in a sense, a concept of government in later generations. Strictly speaking, however, the military junta is a model of government with a long history.

The knightly state, on the other hand, is a state system with the concept of a military junta.

The Order's prototype appeared around 1o7o, before the First Crusade began, and its mission was to carry out some "charitable" work, such as protecting Western Christians who came to the "Holy Land" for pilgrimage, providing food and lodging for pilgrims, healing sick Christians, etc., hence the name. Its members gathered around the "Basilica of St. John" in Jerusalem, so it was also called the "Knights of John".

However, after the end of the First Crusade, the purpose of the Knights Hospitaller began to change, and their leaders decided that some of the faithful would continue to do charitable work for the hungry and sick pilgrims, but their central task was to create a well-trained and disciplined knightly army, which gradually became a purely feudal knightly military group that existed in Palestine for almost 2oo years. His costume consisted of a black coat with a white cross, which was later changed to a red coat.

At the beginning of the 14th century, under the pressure of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Order had to move to the island of Rhodes in the eastern Mediterranean in 131o. In 1522, the Ottoman Sultan Suliman I attacked Rhodes in order to relieve the worries of invading Europe, although the knights only had more than 5oo knights and more than 6ooo soldiers, but they faced 2o thousand strong enemies, fearless, heroic resistance, and carried out a tenacious defensive battle for more than half a year, although finally forced to surrender, but the Turkish army paid a heavy price of at least 50,000 deaths. Admired by the Order's courage, Suliman I allowed the enemy army to safely evacuate the island on 1 January 1523.

In 153o, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V agreed to give the island of Malta and the nearby island of Gozo to the jurisdiction of the Knights Hospitaller. Thus, the Knights Hospitaller established their own state on the island of Malta, officially known as the "Knights of Malta".

After that, the Knights Hospitaller entered its heyday, and ships with Maltese octagonal crosses on their sails roamed the Mediterranean. In the 18th century, the Order's territory reached as far as St. Croix in the West Indies of the Americas. In 1794, shortly after the independence of the United States, the knightly state quickly recognized it and established diplomatic relations with it. At that time, the Knighthood of Malta was much more powerful than the United States.

In 1798, Napoleon's French team drove the Order out of Malta on an expedition to Egypt, and the Order fell to the end of the world again until 1834, when it took root in Rome, Italy. Since then, they have turned to philanthropy again, which continues to this day, and their name has been changed to "Knights of the Military Paramedics of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta".

And the army of the Knights of Malta is the famous Knights Hospitaller.

Before the establishment of the Knighthood of Malta, the full name of the Knights Hospitaller was "Knights Hospitaller of St. John the Baptist" of Jerusalem, also known as the Knights of St. John the Baptist, founded in 1o99 by the French nobleman Gerard and several companions in the hospital near the Church of St. John the Baptist in Jerusalem, with the main purpose of caring for the wounded and pilgrims.

Thanks to the selfless efforts of the pilgrims, the Order of the Hospital was able to spread rapidly, and from 111o the Order agreed that the property of the territory scattered in Jerusalem could be given to the Knights Hospitaller.

In 1113, the Holy See recognized them as independent religious orders and granted them a series of economic and political privileges, such as not having to pay the tithe, not having to be under the leadership of any regime, and being subject only to papal moderation.

The rules of the Knights Hospitaller were based on those of the Orstium. The members of the Order are divided into clergy, knights, and non-commissioned officers, as well as members or grantees. The Order was ruled by a Grand Master, assisted by a Council of Clergy and eight judges. Its organization is very similar to that of the Knights Templar, but it is more prominent in its philanthropic efforts.

The Knights Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem was founded as a good organization, and from 112o it began to operate as a military order, protecting pilgrims from pagan attacks by force, and becoming an important military force in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and also had a great influence on the political situation in Jerusalem.

It has 7 large fortresses and 14o other buildings in the Kingdom of Jerusalem. After the death of Baldwin IV, King of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, Roger?de?Mou1ins, opposed Gouy's succession, but unfortunately did not succeed. Later, in the Battle of Hardin in 1187, the Knights Hospitaller also sent their main force to the battle, and due to a mistake in command, the Christian army, including the Knights Hospitaller and the Knights Templar, was almost completely wiped out, and the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, Roger?de?Mou1ins, was killed.

Due to the defeat of the Christian kingdom of Palestine by the Arabs, in 1291 the Order abandoned Palestine and went to Cyprus, where it did not stay long before withdrawing to Rhodes in 13o9. On Rhodes, the Order used its navy to stop the expansion of ****** into the eastern Mediterranean.

When Constantinople fell to the Turks in 1453, the Knights of St. John of Rhodes were the only Christian power in the entire Eastern Mediterranean.

Resistance in Rhodes continued until 1522. In that year, Suleiman I commanded an army of 2o thousand troops on 4oo warships to Rhodes, and the knights on the island had only 7ooo soldiers, although the strength was very different, but the knights still held out independently for 6 months, and at least 50,000 Turkish troops were killed in the battle. In the end, the Knights reached an agreement with the Turks, and the Knights withdrew from Rhodes and went to Europe.

During their seven years in Europe, the Knights Hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem moved many times and lived without a permanent residence. By 153o, on the orders of Pope Clement VII and Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, the Knights Hospitaller came to the island of Malta and established the Knights of Malta on the island by paying a symbolic rent of 1 Maltese Eagle coin per year to the Kingdom of Sicily.

The Turks were clearly upset by the comeback of the Order, and in 1565 Suleiman I sent a large army to attack Malta. The battle began very similarly to the last one in Rhodes: the Knights struggled to hold on, most of the cities were destroyed, and half of the Knights were killed.

Just when the Knights saw that they could not hold on, a reinforcement army came from Spain, and the situation on the battlefield was suddenly reversed, and the Turkish army retreated in panic, with losses of more than 30,000 men. This victory gave the Knights of Malta a period of peace.

In 1571, the Turks, believing that the navy was almost complete, re-launched an attempt to destroy the Order. This time, however, they suffered an even worse defeat: before they reached Malta, they encountered a naval battle at Lepanto with the Holy Alliance's fleet of Christian nations and the Armada of the Kingdom of Spain as the main force, and almost all of the Turkish fleet was sunk or captured. After that, the Knights of Malta entered its heyday, and ships with Maltese octagonal crosses on their sails roamed the Mediterranean.

The rule of the Knights Hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem on the island of Malta lasted until the 18th century, and on June 11, 1798, Napoleon forced the Knights Hospitaller to surrender and occupied the island of Malta, where the Knights' churches and monasteries were sacked by the French. Most of the members of the Order traveled to Russia, where they were given asylum by Tsar Paul I of Russia, who elected Paul I as the new Grand Master of the Order.

After leaving the island of Malta, the Order of St. John the Hospitaller of Jerusalem lost its territory, but remained as an organization, and although the Order's sovereignty over the island of Malta was recognized by Britain, France, and other countries through the Treaty of Amiens in 18o2, the Order was never allowed to return to the island. The Order then rebuilt its headquarters in Rome in 1834 and finally stabilized again. The military mission of the Order has ended, and since then it has been mainly engaged in charitable works.

In later generations, the military government in country C was mainly formed under the situation of warlord secession after the Xinhai Revolution.

During the Xinhai Revolution, military governments were established in Hubei, Hunan, Yunnan, Shanghai and other places. It was built in Wuchang, called the Hubei Military Government, with the governor as the main official. It is divided into four departments: commander, military affairs, staff officer, and political affairs. At the same time, the departments of military orders, staff officers, military affairs, internal affairs, foreign affairs, financial management, communications, justice, editing, education, and industry were reorganized. The organization of military junta in other regions is largely the same.

On the morning of the 11th, Wuchang was fully recovered. In the evening, a strategy office was formed. Under the auspices of the Strategy Department, the establishment of the Hubei Military Governor's Office of the ** Government of the Republic of China (i.e., the Hubei Military Government of the Republic of China) was announced, the military government document and the "Anmin Proclamation" were promulgated, and the name of the country was changed to the Republic of China, and the name of the Qing Dynasty Xuantong was abolished.

From a purely revolutionary standpoint, the Hubei Military Government under the banner of Li Yuanhong was undoubtedly a reformist and gradual institution, and although this government declared independence from the Qing government, its policies were undoubtedly quite reformist in nature because its principal responsible persons were all old members of the Qing court. On the same day that the Hankou Military and Political Branch was established, the Hubei Governor's Office sent a telegram to the whole country, announcing the liberation of Wuhan.

In order to contain the containment of the Hankou military and government sub-government, the Hubei Governor's Office also sent a telegram to Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren, inviting them to come to Hubei to participate in the grand event, and at the same time to call Sun Yat-sen, who was overseas, to return to China to preside over the plan. The Hubei military junta presents itself as the new center of Chinese politics.

But it didn't last long. On the 14th of the month, revolutionaries Tan Renfeng and Ju Zheng arrived from Shanghai. Moreover, on the 16th, they ingeniously held a large-scale authorization ceremony for Li Yuanhong, in order to show the legitimacy of Li Yuanhong's source of power and the increasingly revolutionary nature of the Hubei military government. By the time Huang Xing arrived in Wuchang, the Hubei military government had become the headquarters of the revolutionary party.

The Hubei Military Government is not only the first provincial-level military government of the Republic of China, but also acts as the central military government, and has played the role of the ** government of the Republic of China in practice for more than two months.

On July 5, 1918, Wu Tingfang, Tang Jiyao, 6 Rong Ting, Cen Chunxuan, and Lin Baohuai were inaugurated as presidents of the military government in Guangzhou, announcing the formation of the ** government of the Republic of China.

On May 4, under the manipulation of the warlords of the Gui and Yunnan factions, the Diet of the Extraordinary Period held a presidential election on the 2O in accordance with the amendment to the Organic Law of the Military Government. Sun Yat-sen, Tang Shaoyi, Wu Tingfang, Tang Jiyao, 6 Rong Ting, Cen Chunxuan, and Lin Baohuai were elected as presidents. But Sun Yat-sen, who received the highest number of votes, refused to take office, and Tang Shaoyi did not take office.

On June 5, the military government's political council elected Cen Chunxuan as chairman and president.

On July 3, Cen Chunxuan arrived in Guangzhou from Shanghai to discuss with the senior members of the Yunnan and Guizhou factions to reorganize the Guangzhou Military Government. On July 5, five of the seven president-elects made a proclamation of the establishment of the military government. Some members of the Extraordinary National Assembly called Sun Yat-sen one after another, asking him to return to Guangdong to take up his post.

In July of the following year, it was changed to a president system. Nine years to re-establish the military government. On May 5, Sun Yat-sen was inaugurated as the provisional president. The junta period ended.

From the 16th to the 17th year of the Republic of China, Zhang Zuolin also organized a military government in Beijing. On June 16, 1927, Zhang Zuolin established a military government in Beijing, officially known as the ** government of the Republic of China. Zhang Zuolin appointed himself as the 6th Generalissimo of the Navy of the Republic of China, and was the last person in power in the Beiyang government, and Premier Pan Fu was the last state premier of the Beiyang government.

At the same time, the list of commanders of the nine ministries was listed, and the "organizational order" of the military government was issued, forming the "government of security". On June 2o, 1927, the cabinet was formed: Pan Fu as the prime minister, Wang Yintai as the chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, He Fenglin as the chief of the military department, Shen Ruilin as the chief of the Ministry of the Interior, Yan Zepu as the chief of the Ministry of Finance, Yao Zhen as the chief of the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Jinghui as the chief of the Ministry of Industry, Liu Shangqing as the chief of the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry, Liu Zhe as the chief of the Ministry of Education, and Pan Fu as the chief of the Ministry of Communications.

The government issued an order stipulating that "the Generalissimo commanded the six navies of the Republic of China" and "exercised the right to rule", and the constitution and parliament left over from the Nanjing Provisional Government in 1912 disappeared without even a shadow.

Compared with the Qin State, which has relatively sufficient personnel and a corresponding foundation and full national strength, in terms of local governance after sweeping the Six Kingdoms, the team under Zhang Jiashi is undoubtedly inadequate in many aspects.
