In this world, there has never been such an equality between people, and even in the 21st century, the slogan of democracy is just the right line of politicians, and since the industrial age, the dominant few have been surprised to find that war is no longer a game that can be controlled by a few elites.

With the continuous development of muskets and artillery, the numerical advantage is unlimited, and even the most elite soldiers cannot get rid of the fate of cheap consumables on the battlefield where artillery is full of fire and bullets are raining down!

Initially, some rulers tried to hinder the pattern of warfare that came with the Industrial Revolution, but driven by profits, wars became more and more frequent, and when the rights of some rulers were threatened, where did they care about the idea of opening the graveyard of autocracy?

The expansion of firearms has made the lives of soldiers cheaper, and those rulers have to be forced to move forward and go in order to win wars, to survive tenaciously in the face of power, and even to become a member of the power!

They keep opening Pandora's box after another, just to win a momentary victory!

In order to win, the monarchs and nobles had to make the lowliest clay legs become soldiers, mastering the use of murderous weapons!

And with the continuous upgrading of killing weapons, the monarchs found that civilians who could not read big characters could not operate effectively, and it was easy to say that muskets were such things, but for artillerymen, without basic knowledge such as mathematics, they could not use this powerful weapon at all!

If you want to learn these basic knowledge of warfare, you need a lot of talent, and at the very least, you need to be literate......

There are a lot of literate people, and aristocratic families are basically literate, however, this is cannon fodder used to be a soldier in battle, and people with a little power are not willing to become a small big soldier, struggling to survive in the war of iron and blood!

Even if the aristocracy joins the army, it starts from the officer, which is also the basic component of the army of modern European countries, and the commoners and officers are completely two different classes!

However, even the most basic artillery needs to be literate and even reach the primary and secondary school culture of later generations, and cheap civilian cannon fodder obviously cannot be used, and noble nobles and intellectuals are unwilling to serve as this kind of cannon fodder, after all, this kind of people are the ones who benefit from the absolute monarchy, and of course, they can't afford to die!

Therefore, the kings who want to work hard and make their country a powerful country have begun to realize the inevitability of universal education for all!

For politicians, only interests are the most effective driving force for the implementation of policies, and universal education can make most civilians literate, and then they can choose top students under the huge base, teach basic artillery knowledge, and expand these powerful arms to the greatest extent!

In the same way, those soldiers who have been educated can understand discipline and military law more easily, and master the advanced killing machine more quickly and accurately!

Therefore, after the Industrial Revolution, any country that can become a power must attach importance to the existence of education!

After all, except for Zhao Dutian, no one can have an auxiliary system that can directly produce ready-made soldiers with basic education!

First Louis XIV of France, then Frederick the Great of the Kingdom of Prussia, the English Empire followed suit, and even the Russian Empire, which Europeans called barbarians, also established its own military academy with the times!

The large-scale and universal education system provided a large number of cheap reservists for the modern European powers, which was enough to support them to constantly wage wars, seek more benefits, and gain higher prestige for the king!

It's a pity that education can strengthen the country, but it can also open up people's wisdom!

Human beings understand that once there are more things, their thoughts will become complicated, and the commoners with knowledge are no longer confused by the superficial ideological demagogy and religious atmosphere, and people begin to think about why everyone is a human being with hands and feet, and the nobles can play with beautiful women and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas all day long, while the commoners have to work all day long, but they can't even eat!

Most of those nobles are mediocre people who write and do nothing, nothing more than relying on the merits of their ancestors to make a fortune, can it be said that after a generation of proud sons, future generations will enjoy the glory of eternity?

This is not the most abomination, those mediocre aristocrats, in order to maintain their unearned status, constantly suppress and buy the talented among the commoners, the rigid class makes people's abilities and talents irrelevant, the channels for ascent are closed and difficult to ascend, and the society only looks at identity and bloodline, and does not pay attention to the real ability of the individual!

This undoubtedly makes the elites among the common people feel unfair, if this rigid social system is as stable as Mount Tai, these elites are no longer willing to accept their fate in order to survive, but what about when the form of turmoil comes?

The feudal system, which lasted for thousands of years, undoubtedly had its own advantages, and in peacetime, no matter how hard and difficult the lower classes of commoners were, they could maintain their rule, but unfortunately, people's greed was endless, and when those stupid nobles and even kings felt that their power was unbreakable, they would turn their eyes to a wider world, and so, war came!

If the war is won, there is nothing to say, but what if it fails?

Not to mention the land reparations, the elites of the civilian class, who were originally dissatisfied, saw the weakness of the ruling class above, and the disappointment of defeat also made the common people doubt and even hate the rulers of the country!

This time, the civilians are no longer foolish people who can be dismissed with a few sweet dates, they are all 'people' who have been educated and opened up the wisdom of the people and have their own thoughts!

What's more, education has also given birth to a large number of talents among the common people, many of whom are careerists, thinkers, and philosophers......

In a society where education is universal, these elite people can quickly spread their advanced ideas, and the enlightened minds of the people can quickly absorb these currents of thought, and when the authoritarian ruling class is defeated and the people are struggling to survive, a more effective form of insurrection is born than ever before - revolution!

The revolution is a feast of anticipation for the elite of the common people to overthrow the rigid class created by mediocrity!

The prince and general Xiangning have a kind of situation, the people above have lost foreign wars and are unable to maintain their rights, and some of the once humble people want to replace them!

Looking at modern history, we will find an interesting phenomenon, almost all the great powers that have had revolutions have broken out after the defeat of foreign wars, the French Revolution, the collapse of the Russian Empire during World War I, and the destruction of the German and Austro-Hungarian empires after World War I, all of which were destroyed from the outside, and then broke out from within!
