Today we talk about the European history in the old game "Assassin's Creed-The Great Revolution". The Revolution is the fifth work in the Assassin's Creed series, released on November 11, 2014, and it is also the first one I have come into contact with in the series. I have played the Japanese ninja action game in the "Tian Zhu" series before. Although it has assassination elements, it is obviously better to Assassin's Creed.

Let me briefly introduce the plot: The game's background is set in Paris in the 18th century, during the French Revolution. In 1307, 400 years ago, the Holy Book and the Holy Sword were stolen by the assassin. Seven years later, Pope Clement and French King Philip, after interrogation, decided to put Jacques de Molei and a member of the Knights Templar to be bound to a fire stand for execution. After that, a woman named Bishop invaded the player's video communication, and she and a man named Deakin urged the "player" to join the Assassin. Players play the role of the brand-new assassin protagonist, Yano Dorian. With French and Austrian descent, he joined the Assassin organization in 1789 after losing everything, trying to find out the real power behind the revolution.

I won't give a detailed explanation of the game, it is an excellent work. I was interested in European history after playing this game. I bought a "Brief History of the World" to read this history, and then played it again. After all, if I don't understand the context, I still lack some flavor. It has a unique flavor to go and play after learning a piece of history. The French Revolution in this work is about. The one who impressed everyone the most about the Revolution is the Bastille in junior high school history class. So try to show the real history in the game.

Let me first talk about the big names that appeared in this work.

Louis XVI

The French Revolution broke out during his reign, and the only French king who was executed failed to escape from Paris during the revolution and died on the guillotine in the square of Revolution.

Marie Antoinette

The famous Queen Mary, Louis XVI's wife, had escaped from Paris with Louis XVI and was arrested, and was sentenced to beheading after trial and died on the guillotine in Place de la Concorde.

Maximilian Robespierre

The active politician during the French Revolution and one of the characters that Chinese players should be familiar with. His name appears many times in history books. He is a famous revolutionary, but his political means are extremely terrifying.

Napoleon I (Napoleon Bonaparte)

The well-known military strategist was extremely active during the French Revolution and subverted the entire history of France. In 1804, the emperor of France's first empire ascended the throne. Napoleon in "Assassin's Creed: The Revolution" is still relatively young and still a soldier.

Here is a description of the law at that timeIn the state, before the revolution, the residents of France were divided into three levels: the first level: the senior Catholic priest. Second level: Noble. The third level: citizens and lower classes, including bourgeoisie, peasants, proletarians, and other classes except the first and second levels. The conflict between the old and new class forces has fueled the revolution to some extent. The monarchy at that time was the most perfect, and was once envied and imitated by opposing kings and princes. However, because the success of this polity is based on some injustice. So the fate of collapse will inevitably be inevitable in the end. It squandered a large amount of people's property for no reason, causing too many people to lose their lives. The financial burden of the entire country was all pressed on the middle class, and the lower class people were overwhelmed by the heavy taxes, while the middle class was constantly oppressed and humiliated by the aristocratic class.

In 1787, the French king found himself in debt. He planned to convene representatives from all walks of life to meet. The people who had been in a position of oppression for a long time finally had a person who could express their dissatisfaction. During the meeting, there was a fierce debate between the third level of France and the other two levels. Finally, the representatives of the civilian class won the victory, and the third-level meeting was changed to the National Assembly. But the French king ignored the demands of the parliament and summoned troops from all over the country. Then, the Great Revolution broke out in Paris.

The revolutionary masses captured the Bastille, which symbolized autocratic rule, and the wave of uprising spread rapidly throughout France. The representatives seized the power of the Paris Municipal Government during the uprising and established the National Self-Defense Army. The king had to express his surrender and recognized the legitimate status of the Constitutional Assembly. At this time, the Constitutional Assembly actually became the highest state authority. The constitutional monarchy plays a major role in parliament. The Constitutional Assembly passed a decree to abolish the monarchy system, abolish the privileges of the church and the nobles, and stipulate that the tribute taxes be abolished by redemption. In June 1790, the Constituent Assembly abolished the titles of prince, hereditary aristocrat, and re-divided the political district. Establish the Dali Court and the Supreme Court, and establish a jury system. The Constitutional Assembly confiscated the church's property and declared that the French church was separated from the Pope's rule and returned to the state's management, realizing the separation of church and state. On June 20, 1791, Louis XVI failed to escape in disguise. Some radical leaders and the people demanded the abolition of the royal government and the implementation of a republic, but the constitutional monarchists advocated maintaining the status quo and retaining the royal government. On July 16, the Constitutional Monarchy split from the Jacobins and formed another Feiyang Club.

The French Revolution caused uneasiness in neighboring countries, and Prussia and Austria formed a coalition to attack France. Because Mary Antonit, the queen of Louis XVI and the sister of the Austrian emperor, leaked military secrets to the coalition forces, the French army was defeated and the coalition forces invaded France. On July 11, 1792, the Legislative Assembly declared the motherland in crisis. The Parisian people, with the unpopular trousers (civilians) as the main body, once again set off the climax of the republic movement. Jacobin leaders Robespierre, Mara and Dandong led the anti-monarchy movement. On August 10, they captured the Duilary Palace, the king and queen, overthrew the Bourbon dynasty, and overthrew the constitutional rule.

The final outcome of the revolution:

1. After Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, Louis XVIII restored the Bourbon dynasty under the protection of foreign troops, restored part of the king's rights, and agreed to the constitutional monarchy as a political system. Later, because Charles X had bloody revolutionaries, the people of Paris launched the July Revolution in July 1830. After three days of fighting, they captured the palace. King Charles X fled to England and established the July dynasty headed by Louis Philippe. At this point, the French Revolution was completely over.

2. Revealing the blue, white and red flags that remain in France forever, the spirit of freedom, equality and fraternity have become the cultural heritage left to the world by the French Revolution.

3. Since the Third Republic of France, France has held a large-scale military parade in Paris every year on July 14th.

4. The French Revolution completely overthrew the French feudal autocracy.

Back to the game, Templars is a monastic military organization in the Assassin's Creed series. It has existed from ancient times to the present and has always been hoping to build a "perfect world". And therefore, he became enemies with the Assassin Brotherhood. The founder is Cain, and the leader is called the Supreme Master, and belongs to the atheist school. The script will put the timeline before the Great Revolution, and various forces were undercurrents. Alice's father died in the assassination of the Templar Hawks. Alice and Yano joined forces to investigate. During the investigation, they found that their father was killed by the Templar and turned to the assassin. Later, due to the death of the assassin's dove leader, they re-recognized that the Templar took in a boy without a father, reconciled with Alice and became a dove leader. After that, they actively guided the assassin and the Templar to unite and guide the people to launch the Great Revolution. The general timeline inside is based on history, but major changes have been made. After all, this is the game plot that must be exploded.

Anyway, this is a very excellent game, which aroused my interest in history. New games such as "Assassin's Creed-Odyssey" also feature Greek history in the beginning, but later it is becoming more and more exaggerated to talk about supernatural and mythological characters. Compared to the Great Revolution, he still combined history to advance the game. This is also the type I like. Then that's it today, and next time I can talk about Odyssey and Valhalla. It is best when will Chinese history appear in Assassin's Creed?
