"Assassin's Creed" was released in 2015. In this work, the battlefield of the Brotherhood and the Templars came to Victorian London, England.

When it comes to Victoria, many readers' first reaction is the Victoria's lingerie show, but today we won't talk about this adrenaline-making program

What we are talking about today is an element in "Assassin's Creed: The Hero", which can reflect its era background.

Let's start with what the times are.

Victorian

The Victorian era was named after Queen Victoria of England. During this period of her reign, people were called the Victorian era. The Victorian era was the most powerful era in Britain, when Britain's economy accounted for 70% of the world's economy and occupied ¼ of the world's land.

The game sets the time in 1868, which was the peak of the British Industrial Revolution. In London you can see many factories emitting thick smoke and speeding trains. The tall buildings rose from the ground, and they looked prosperous on the surface. What remains behind this prosperity is the blood and sweat of the workers.

Behind the prosperity

‌After the first industrial revolution, the bourgeoisie defeated the feudal class, and a large number of capitalists appeared in Britain. There are capitalists, there are labor workers. When capitalists exploit workers frantically, the workers also began to resist the strike. Capitalists thought that this frequent strikes affected my money making, so they chose to hire child labor.

In the game, we often see many children in the factory doing high-intensity work, and we often encounter tasks of rescuing child labor. Capitalists choose child labor, firstly, these children are easy to manage and have relatively low ability to resist. Second, you can hire these children as long as you pay a small salary.

A adult's salary can hire six or seven child laborers. Although the UK had issued a factory law at that time, prohibiting the employment of children under the age of 9 and reducing working hours for children under the age of 13, these laws are like nothing, and capitalists are still hiring child labor and allowing them to engage in heavy work.

If you have watched Dickens' Orphan in the Fog, you will know why Oliver was sent to the factory at the age of 9. But many capitalists will let children falsely report their age, allowing some people under the age of 9 to lie that they are at 9 years old to get through the test.

In the game, you can see that there are many slums in London, and there are many homeless people sleeping on the streets. The gap between the rich and the poor in the Victorian-era UK is very serious. Most of the poor live in East London with Whitechapel as the core, while the rich mostly live in West London.

Westminster District is a gathering place for the rich, and both the boss and the queen live in this area, on the ThamesA paradise with bright lights and wine is a hell of chaos on the one hand. On the one hand, it is a hard-working worker, and on the other hand, it is a capitalist who seeks pleasure

In the game we will meet the great mentor Marx, who will lead the proletariat to resist the capitalists. Marx invited the protagonist's siblings to join the proletariat, but was politely rejected.

In the game, we can see many real characters in history. The Victorian era in the UK was an era of gathering heroes. In the game, we can see the novelist Dickens, Darwin, who engages in evolution, Bell, who invented the phone, statistician Nightingale, and also created Solmes' Conan Doyle

Conan Doyle, yes, it's this little friend.

Yingwang Victoria

‌The most important of these characters is Queen Victoria, who looks like her in the game...

Victoria was one of the greatest kings in Britain and the second longest-time monarch. Historians call her European grandmother, the Queen of Hemophilia. Because she has many children, most of her marriages with royal members on the European continent. Most of the kings in Europe have her ancestry, and Queen Victoria is a hemophilia gene carrier.

Often women carry it, but men will suffer from illness. The biology book mentions Queen Victoria's family genealogy when talking about intimate marriage and premarital physical examination.

Of these sick male members of the royal family, only Prince Leopold left behind his descendants

‌British Empire or Indian Empire?

‌In addition to the title of King of England, Queen Victoria also has the title of Queen of India. The previous Indian Empire was a puppet empire, and the British did not completely annex India. After the oiling incident, a great national uprising broke out in India to resist the British rule.

After the uprising was suppressed, Britain abolished the Indian Emperor and the British Queen was crowned the Empress of India. Theoretically speaking, the so-called British Empire was actually the Indian Empire. An Englishman became the emperor of India, but the three Indian brothers were actually very proud

Even Gandhi once believed that India, as part of the UK, should allow the third brother of India to enjoy the same treatment as the Ying people.

The Last Maharaja

‌There is a task in the main plot of the game that let us meet the prince, but the player found out that it was an Indian prince.

This Indian prince is the last lord of the Indian Sikh Empire, oh no, Maharaja.

The Sikh Empire was a powerful country in India, annexed in the battle with Britain, the only kingThe heir of the room, Dulip Singer, was taken to the UK and became a gentleman in the UK under British education. He had no real power and had to whine.

In India, only Sikhs can wrap their heads around. Sikhs have the most combat-capable warriors among many Indian states. One of the most powerful mercenary corps in Britain is the Gorkha Legion from Nepal, and the other is the Sikh Legion.

In the game, the prince hopes that we can help him regain the Sikh throne. In reality, the prince always wants to return to India, but was blocked by the British government and did not return to India until his death, because returning to India would threaten the British rule.

Jack the Ripper

‌Jack the Ripper, the most perverted criminal in Britain, has killed five special physical workers in Whitechapel area.

There have been speculations about his identity for many years, and hundreds of people are suspected of being the murderer. No one knows his true identity to this day. In the game, Jack is a fraternity assassin who opposes Jacob. He kidnapped Jacob in an attempt to turn the fraternity into a terrorist organization, and was finally defeated by Evie.

Due to the limited space, I will talk to you about the story of "Assassin's Creed" first.
