Chapter 273 Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!

In 326AC, the 20-year-long night ended, and the world welcomed the long-lost sun.

Although the Atlantis Deep Sea Empire consumed a lot of materials during this long night, not many people died.

Other places were much more miserable. There was no comparison before, and the damage was not great. Now that there is a comparison, the gap has suddenly increased.

Coupled with Atlantis's deliberate propaganda, many people who survived the long night have a yearning for the empire.

In 327AC, the long night ended completely, and the empire abolished the AC year and adopted a new calendar.

In June of the same year, the empire mobilized 120,000 people to attack the Horse King City on the grounds that the Dothraki invaded the province of Laza.

It is estimated that only Atlantis has been able to mobilize so many troops in the first year after the long night.

Facing the war launched by the empire, the Dothraki were not afraid at first. Although the long night reduced their number by 90%, their nation was full of soldiers. In this cold weapon era where cavalry was king, the Dothraki never knew what fear was.

The Dothraki assembled 80,000 cavalry. Although the number was less than that of Atlantis, the Dothraki were very confident. They felt that as long as they broke through the infantry and then dispersed, even the dragons could not do anything to them.

However, when the war began, Atlantis did not even send out the dragons, and the Dothraki were defeated by firearms in the embryonic stage.

Because of Jack's guidance and the research funds collected from all over the world, the Empire's research progress on thermal weapons was still very fast.

The two sides fought near the Horse King City for a month. In just one month, the originally brutal Dothraki became good at singing and dancing.

Relying on the absolute gap in military strength, the Dothraki surrendered in just one month, and the huge Dothraki Grass Sea was incorporated into the territory of the Empire.

In the following months, Elizabeth divided the Dothraki prairie into 52 areas, planned more than 100 cities, and sent people to take over the Horse King City.

The Dothraki grasslands are vast and are an excellent place for animal husbandry. It is a waste to let these barbarians occupy them for so many years.

However, Elizabeth did not brutally demote the Dothraki people to slaves, but arranged some grassroots officials who needed "experience plating" to educate the Dothraki people.

In the second year of the Imperial calendar, more than a year has passed since the long night, and the Empire has once again ushered in a rapid development.

In the fifth year of the Imperial calendar, Jack could no longer suppress the condensation of the godhead and was about to fall asleep. Before falling asleep, he called Elizabeth to his side, and he had the last thing to tell him.

In a secret room deep in the Poseidon Palace.

Jack put his hand on the bottom of the disc, and with the sound of stone friction, a human figure appeared.

"Elizabeth, after I go in, you will announce to the public that my body is in the bronze coffin on Poseidon's back. Deep-sea warriors are the trump cards that can determine the outcome of large-scale wars. Don't expose them unless it is absolutely necessary, but you can select seven people to attract attention.

In addition, don't rush to kill the corrupt officials on the free trade coast you mentioned. They are good tools to appease the people's anger and win the hearts of the people. It's not too late to kill them when your selected successor needs political achievements.

Now the pace of the empire can't be stopped. Essos will sooner or later become the territory of the empire, and the development speed of Sothoryos is also very fast.

And the climate and terrain of Sothoryos are very suitable for the development of the empire. If you want to move the capital in the future, Sothoryos is the first choice.

The last point is that technology is the primary productive force and the decisive pillar of national strength. It is true that if you lag behind, you will be beaten.

For example, the nine free trade city-states now are already one era behind the empire. The reason why they haven't been beaten is that we are still digesting the northern part of Sothoryos. Today I just don't want to fight it.

Never suppress the development of the empire at any time, and don't choose to suppress the development of the empire's technology because you are afraid that your rule will be threatened. The atomic dinosaur clan is enough to guarantee the status of the Poseidon family.

No system is always suitable for a country, nor is there the best and most advanced system. The system can be adjusted appropriately according to the development of the empire in the future.

I just fell asleep, not dead, so don't be too careful and afraid, just practice boldly, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth!

In addition, the empire will have a large territory in the future, and there will definitely be many contradictions in various places. Don't actively reconcile contradictions, and even provoke contradictions when necessary, let them fight!

War will promote the development of science and technology, but all new technologies must be submitted to the empire in the form of patents. At the same time, the empire's scientific and technological research and development cannot be relaxed, and it is necessary to constantly explore the continent, the ocean, and the starry sky! "

After Jack nagging Elizabeth about some things, he lay in the Poseidon disc.

Three days later, the empire announced a world-shaking event. The first emperor of the Atlantis Deep Sea Empire embarked on the road to becoming a god and left behind the national artifact Poseidon disc.

After the news came out, many people thought that Jack Poseidon might have died suddenly due to illness. After all, Jack Poseidon had not appeared for a long time. As for becoming a god, that was even more nonsense.

After the news came out, as expected, some people began to be active, especially in Westeros. Many old aristocratic forces began to frequently contact each other, trying to restore the hereditary aristocracy of the old times.

After all, they now have dragons. As long as they unite, they don't ask to defeat the Empire, as long as they can gain independence.

Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Since the end of the last White Walker disaster, it seems that the long night has disappeared. Twenty years have passed, and now it is still hot in summer.

In the 25th year of the Imperial Sea Yuan Gregorian calendar, when the Empire was conquering other city-states on the Essos continent, a long-planned rebellion suddenly broke out in Westeros.

Because there is only one prince, the brothers and sisters of the princes were won over, and they rode their dragons to launch this rebellion.

And the princes of various places are the direct descendants of Jack Poseidon, so they naturally do their best to maintain their status.

So a huge internal war began, and a full thirteen dragons participated in the war, which made people think of the blood dragon dance that occurred during the rule of the Targaryen family hundreds of years ago.

However, what is surprising is that the Empire does not seem to be in a hurry, and even seems to have expected it. There is no urgency, and it is still digesting the nine free trade city-states slowly.

After the civil strife lasted for half a year, the rebels began to panic, because the Empire had already digested Essos, but they still hadn't taken Westeros.

Four months later, the rebels sent by the Empire arrived in Westeros, along with the Dragon King Korakshu.

With a body length of 140 meters and a wingspan of 420 meters, Korakshu is a veritable dragon king. The largest of the dragons born later was only 30 meters.

When Korakshu arrived in Westeros, all the dragons in Westeros abandoned their dragon riders and came to Korakshu.

The sudden departure of the dragon made the rebels panic. No matter how the dragon riders called, the dragon still chose to leave.

Without the help of the dragon, the rebels were beaten back step by step. The rebels didn't even need the help of the dragon. They crushed the rebels with bolt-action rifles and cannons.

This also makes people understand the terribleness of the empire. It is not only the gap in weapons, but also the gap in planning. The dragons have never belonged to the dragon riders, but to the dragon king.

And with the failure of the rebellion, it is bound to be a thorough reckoning.

Elizabeth is far more cruel than her father. All those involved in the rebellion were executed, and their immediate family members were also executed.

In this reckoning, more than 30,000 people died, and 70% of the nobles were deprived of their titles. Elizabeth then used this as an excuse to abolish the nobles' positions in the House of Representatives, and all members were elected by voting.

When the news of Jack Poseidon came out, the nobles of Westeros began to become active.

After waiting for more than 20 years, they launched a rebellion until they were sure that Jack Poseidon was really gone.

As Jack's most satisfied daughter, how could Elizabeth not know the rebellion planned by Westeros? The Seagull Organization has investigated the rebels clearly.

But Elizabeth did not take action directly. This group of ignorant idiots did not understand the gap between Dagon and the dragons at all.

You know, although Dagon doesn't have the power of his mother, as a genetically perfect atomic dinosaur, he only needs twenty years to enter adulthood.

Now Dagon has been in adulthood for more than ten years. After her mother Poseidon fell asleep, only the dragon king Korakshu can compete with her.

So Elizabeth never worried that they could succeed in the rebellion, and even the rebels' fighting will was weaker than she thought.

In half a year, they couldn't even beat the princes from all over the country. Elizabeth felt that she really overestimated these trash.

The empire easily quelled the rebellion, so the rebellion not only failed to shake the empire's rule, but made the empire's rule more stable.

Atlantis has entered the fast lane of development again. Jack has paved the way for the future of the empire. Before Jack wakes up, no one knows what the empire can develop into!
