1840, Japan learned the lesson of China's defeat in the Opium War and saw the importance of improving "military system and weapons". 1In June of 853, American warships shelled Kagoshima. The following year, the British-American-French-Dutch joint fleet shelled Shimonoseki again.
Japan, humiliated, is determined to catch up, emulate Europe and America and improve its military system. Japan is still in the shogunate period. The shogunate decided to imitate the western army and organize three foreign brigades of 65,438+03,625 infantry, cavalry and artillery to "imitate the western military system and determine the classes distributed in Lu Haijun". This is the earliest Western European-style rank system established in Japanese history.
After Meiji Restoration, under the suggestion of Hirofumi Ito, the governor of Hyogo Prefecture, the Emperor established an army directly under the central government, which was divided into two services: the army and the navy. The grand marshal is the supreme commander and is awarded to the emperor. According to the Japanese Constitution at that time, the Emperor was the Commander-in-Chief of Lu Haijun, who had full authority to decide the establishment of Lu Haijun and the number of standing troops, declare war, make peace and impose martial law, and he personally handled all important military affairs.
In the 31st year of Meiji (1898), Japan decided to abolish the Ministry of Military Supervision and set up the Marshal's Office as the highest military advisory body. Marshal House has a number of marshals, who are selected by the Japanese Emperor from Lu Haijun generals and awarded the title of Marshal, serving as military advisers and reviewing Lu Haijun. By the time Japan surrendered at the end of World War II, Japan had awarded 3 1 marshals, including 7 for the army and 0/3 for the navy.
