Maritime trade has been one of the important economic sources of the smart country for more than ten years. In this era of gradual industrialization, Wu Hui needs a lot of resources and money to move the country into the next era.
And Du Ziming didn't want to enter the next era at all. He planned to become the most powerful existence in this old era.
A man who takes the wrong approach...Wu Hui commanded on two fronts. While building up the navy to fight against pirates, he also personally went out to fight against Du Ziming, winning three out of five battles. At the same time, contact Du Ziming within the country to support the rebels and let them cooperate internally and externally.
In naval battles, the gap in combat effectiveness between the regular army and the top pirates is actually not that big.
In fact, there were many vassal states around Wu Hui that were not annexed, but were largely controlled economically by Wu Hui, and often sent troops to help fight. Of course, these vassal states are also other players, who were defeated by Wu Hui or chose to follow Wu Hui from the beginning. And he also chose to give these people a way to survive.
In the past nearly two hundred years, the system of the Kingdom of Wisdom has undergone many changes, but thanks to continuous expansion and technological development, overall it has not resulted in class solidification or serious corruption.
But even with the help of vassal states, it would be very troublesome for Wu Hui to fight against Du Ziming and enemies from the sea at the same time. He could only remotely contact Ren Yin, Cao Buze and others, trying to form an alliance against Du Ziming.
Today there are seven empires in the world with a population of over 10 million. They belong to Wu Hui, Du Ziming, Ren Yin, logician, cook, Cao Buzai, and Marquis Shejian respectively. Wu Hui, Du Ziming, Ren Yin, and Cao Buze belong to the same continent. So it's easier for them to fight each other.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Du Ziming's strategy to get high scores before he dies. It is different from Wu Hui, who has been living steadily forward until the end of three hundred years.
At present, the industrial revolution has begun all over the world. Depending on the situation of life, perhaps the development speed in the last hundred years will be faster than Wu Hui imagined.
In the electric age, there will definitely be no problem. The level of World War II may be reached. But this is unlikely in the information society. The further you go, the smaller the role players will play in accelerating social progress.
The first war with Du Ziming lasted for about five years. In the end, Wu Hui won.
But these five years have also made Wu Hui play very hard. Essentially, this is a lose-lose thing. And Du Ziming, who had a great time fighting Wu Hui in a battle of wits and courage, was also very happy to be eliminated. The technology of the territory's population before his destruction was all more powerful than the previous Eight-Eyed Spider.
There are currently more than two hundred players left. After more than a hundred years of fighting, only a few were directly annexed by their opponents, while many were overthrown by NC civilians because they failed to deal with the internal failure of the war.
Du Ziming's empire collapsed, leaving a large population behind. Wu Hui Ren Yin Cao did not choose to divide the country again.
Wu Huize finally had the energy to fight against the enemies at sea. He used to be a land power, but now he has begun to develop a navy, and the progress is indeed average.
But before railroads became commonplace, few could rival the advantages of shipping. The industrial age is inevitably accompanied by the transportation and trade of various raw materials. To ensure safety and to open the doors of those countries, a powerful navy is necessary.
Therefore, the emergence of capitalism is inevitably accompanied by evil. Wu Hui and other countries that started to develop in the industrial era, every step forward is a history of blood and tears of countless colonies or semi-colonies.
The next period will be a period of institutional transformation and industrial development.
The second century has ended.
Looking back on the past two hundred years, Wu Hui has grown from a few dozen people at the beginning to nearly 20 million people now. The technological level has reached the early stage of the steam age.
This is a well-deserved empire, but the population growth rate is still not fast enough. With today's productivity, the territory he occupies can support a population of 200-300 million people, and now it only supports 20 million people. It is not convenient to engage in colonial plunder.
And there are still many people among the 20 million people who have not digested it. Need to take your time.
Fortunately, the others are similar, so they won't be late and unable to grab the colony. In addition, colonies are relatively difficult to defeat these days, and players have spheres of influence in the remaining parts of the world. Not much worse. The only way is to rely on some advanced technology to attack the other country and sign an unequal treaty to conduct transactions. .
Well, so social players are extremely guilty. It's not a human matter.
(Note: Social games mainly refer to various hard-core simulation political games similar to this game.)
Looking at the history of the entire game, players have objectively advanced history to a great extent. No one can deny their contribution. But if you think of these people as real people, the players' behavior is quite brutal. In order to become stronger, sacrifice a few people, sacrifice outsiders, and let countless people die in order to achieve temporary great achievements.
Viewers watching the live broadcast complained about the inhumanity. But it’s just a game and no one takes it seriously.
Next, Wu Hui has to do a very important thing, which is to change the system. The feudal monarchy is no longer suitable for this era. There is now a choice between a constitutional monarch ceding significant power or a peaceful abdication.
As long as they are not violently overthrown, those who take the initiative to change the system will not be eliminated. Of course, most players can't do this well.
Whether the power can be transferred peacefully in this era of change is also a hurdle, and many players may be overthrown in the next few decades. Of course, considering that there aren’t many players left in total, it’s pretty good that we’ve been able to hold on until now.
A constitutional monarchy may seem good, but then your control over the country will be very weak. Because the nominal leader of the country is still the king, players can only control the king.
So it is better to abdicate peacefully. Fortunately, the number and power of the royal family have been weakened in advance. And since a parliament has been established, there should not be much turmoil after the transfer of power. In addition, in other countries, more forces can be supported to revolt against decadent feudal rulers.
There are many ways to subvert the enemy's regime. A powerful empire is difficult to defeat by outsiders, but it can fall due to internal conflicts.
The second two hundred years passed, and the sun gradually began to set on the powerful empires. They established great achievements, opened up barren lands, and left behind epic legends and countless heroes.
But that’s as far as it goes. Things like kings and emperors will eventually withdraw from the stage of history.
Wu Hui chose to abdicate calmly, but some arrogant players who could not figure out these situations were often eliminated. Between 200 and 220 years into the game, there was another wave of players quitting the game.
At this point, there are only one hundred and twenty people left among the one thousand lords. The era of feudal empire ended, and the era of capital, industry, and colonization came.
