King of Mercenaries Chapter 214

Published at 14th of June 2023 05:20:34 AM

After the class teacher returned to the DPRK, Marin held a meeting to discuss a solution to the Jèvre problem.

The members who are in attendance are Chief Minister Geoffrey, Finance Minister Kohler, Justice and Orich Mayor Heder, and several major generals.

I need to mention that although Heidel was not named a court baron like Kohler, he was also listed as a hereditary jazz. Kohler is mainly because he is a quartermaster and can share military achievements. Moreover, because Kohler helped Marin take a blame, he was rewarded with the title of Baron. And civil servants like Heidel, who can give hereditary jazz, have been regarded as kind.

Moreover, Marin abolished the popular mayoral election system in Europe and replaced it with a court appointment system. This is conducive to centralization and facilitates the court's control over the place.

The popular mayoral election system in Europe is the source of division. Because the mayor is elected by the locals, they don't need to care too much about the court's attitude. They only need to please the local gentlemen who are eligible for election. When the court demands a tax increase, the mayor elected by the locals may even confront the court and refuse to increase taxes.

So, in order to strengthen centralization, Marin decisively abolished the mayoral election system. However, local councils were retained. However, local councils have been deprived of administrative and personnel appointment powers, leaving only supervisory powers. Of course, if the mayor appointed by the court is too embarrassing, such as a rampant conspiracy, which is an evil party, the local council has the right to impeach the court's judicial organ. However, local councils do not have the power to revoke local officials, only the power to supervise and impeach. Moreover, even if the impeachment is carried out, judicial investigation is needed, and the evidence is conclusive before the impeachment can be successful. Of course, the local council also retains one of its powers-that tax increases require their approval.

In this case, Marin equated the local council with more than half of it. In administrative matters, there was little local say. And the local chiefs are appointed by Marin, so these local officials will be directly responsible to Marin, and will take Marin's interests first. In this way, Marin can easily control the place.

平 If in normal times Marin promotes such an anti-democratic policy, he will naturally face fierce opposition. But what is happening now? Marin just killed most of the aristocrats who were not all the way. At this time, it was a time of heartbreak, who has the courage to stand up against it?

So, under Marin's **** horror, this plan was easily implemented. Then, a large number of descendants of the nobles who were close to the Marin and Bullock families were appointed as magistrates after a brief inspection. Moreover, Marin fully implemented the "hometown avoidance" system, not allowing locals to serve as local officials in his hometown, avoiding excessive local influence and forming an interest group against the central government.

In addition, the term of office of a local official is also five years and cannot exceed ten years. For more than ten years, you must change places. Because even if you are a foreigner, if you have been a local official for more than ten years in one place, it is easy to become a local hegemon.

Haider is a very good civilian, hard-working, and honest, without much ambition, the only drawback is that he does not have too much experience in politics, lack of exercise. Therefore, Marin studied with Jeffrey while making Heidel the mayor of Orich. Of course, it is not to learn Jeffrey's slickness and shame, but to learn Jeffrey's many years of political experience. Jeffrey has been a palace minister in East Friesland for 8 years and has extensive administrative management experience. It was perfect for him to be a teacher for Heidel. Jeffrey was too slick and not loyal enough. Moreover, he is not too young, he is 50 years old. In this age, it is normal for a person in his fifties to die, and it is not uncommon to die in his forties. So Marin didn't know when Jeffrey would hang up. Therefore, to prepare young Heidel in advance, it is considered to be prepared. As for Kohler, it is a professional who manages money. The level of cultural foundation is too far away from Heidel, which is good in mathematics. So Marin planned to let Kohler control the money. And government affairs, handed over to medieval college student Heidel is more reassuring.

Uh ...

耶 The Jeffrey issue discussed this time is a big problem for Marin. The former East Frisian Count Edsard I failed to solve it. Marin also felt very difficult.

Jeffer was originally an area on the northeast coast of East Frisian Land, roughly equivalent to the northern half of Friesland County in Lower Saxony, Germany, and the famous city of Wilhelmshaven, with a total area of ​​about About 500 square kilometers. It belongs to the powerful Wiemken family in East Friesland. The contemporary baron of Jever is named Edo Wilmken.

Although nominally a baron, the baron of Jävre under the control of the Wilmken family is in fact independent. Of course, this is not to say how powerful the Wilmken family is. Rather, because the Wilmken family secretly aligned with the Oldenburg State. Moreover, not long ago, after the death of his ex-wife, Baron Edo Wilmken continued to marry Heidwig, the younger daughter of Gerhard VI, Count of Oldenburg. If Oldenburg's support for Jèvre was secret in the past, starting from Gerhard VI's marriage of his daughter Heidewig to Baron Edo, Oldenburg's support for Jèvre was made public.

In fact, Oldenburg is not a great country, it is less than twice the size of East Friesland, and its population is less than 100,000. Such a small garbage country, Marin can just crush it ...

However, the Oldenburg family's luck was too bad. In 1448, because of the extinction of the Danish royal family, Christian I, the eldest son of Dietrich Earl of Oldenburg, was fortunately selected as the King of Denmark.

Since then, the old chicken family of Oldenburg, flew up the branches, and became a phoenix. Because, in the Middle Ages, Denmark was a Nordic power. Even the British have to retreat by three points on the sea.

现在 Now the Oldenburg State and relatives of the Danish royal family belong to the same family and are naturally allies. When Christian I was elected King of Denmark, he gave up the Oldenburg State to his brother Gerhard VI. The current King of Denmark is Hans, the son of Christian I, and King Hans is the nephew of Gerhard VI, the earl of Oldenburg ...

的 The uncle of the King of Denmark, such a title is absolutely thunderous to German princes. Therefore, although the Oldenburg State is weak, Gerhard VI's power is not small.

Pughard VI supported Baron Jävre in confrontation and division with East Frisian Land. In this regard, Edsad I could do nothing. Who told that the Count Oldenburg had such a powerful nephew as the King of Denmark ...

Even Marin was scratching his head in the face of Oldenburg's favored Jeffr ...

It is easy to pack Baron Jeffre, and a square can solve the problem. It is not difficult to defeat the Oldenburg State ~ www.novelhall.com ~ A square matrix cannot be solved? Then two!

Alas, what happened after defeating the Oldenburg? A look at King Dans of Denmark over there-it's all right. The little bunny named Marin hit my uncle. Doesn't this hit me? Then the Danish army arrived, Marin died ...

Therefore, Marin must now put up his breath in the face of the Oldenburg. Regarding the autonomy of Baron Jeffell, open one eye and close the other. However, it is also necessary to prevent Jeffrey from having to make inroads and expand.

Therefore, the final discussion of the meeting was that everyone agreed that Marin would send the fourth party to the east for long-term presence. In addition, it recruited 1,000 militiamen to strengthen its strength and frighten the Jeffreys and Oldenburgers, so that the Oldenburg and Jeffreys would not want to take advantage of the East Frisian regime change, Lamborgh stole some sites.

For the old country of Oldenburg, which is very hard in the background, Marin is also very temperamental. Such goods, it is easy to hit him, but he is much better than you in the background. After defeating Oldenburg, Danish warships may sail to the port of Emden to 'visit'…

Even though Marin can defend the Danish army's offense by relying on a strong city, the Danish navy is very strong, blocking Marin's maritime trade, and without pressure, it can easily make the salt produced on Texel island out of transport ... Marin's finances rely on sea transport trade. Compared with the huge profits of sea transport trade, Jeffre's land is not worth mentioning ...

Thinking over and over again, Marin decided to pretend he hadn't seen Jèvre's division. As long as the opponent does not attack, Marin ignores the other ...

I waited for Denmark to start a war with others, and my strength was stronger, and I took the opportunity to recapture Jävre. However, for Oldenburg, I still can't do it ... who makes the backstage super hard ...
