one hundred and forty two
Therefore, after the Egyptian Empire slowly developed, it gained a little strength, but the Huli people still did not take the Egyptian Pharaoh's empire in their eyes, and continued to invade the current borders of the Egyptian Empire day and night. In the end, this led to the Pharaoh's death.
fed up.
Another is the very violent rule of the Huli people, which in itself leads to internal instability. There are resistances everywhere, and suppressing these resistances requires military strength, which slowly weakens the overall Huli empire.
strength.
On this day, the Pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire actually joined forces with another army that resisted the Huli people, and attacked Nineveh, the capital of the Huli people. Although the Huli warriors were well-equipped and even well-trained,
But Pharaoh and his coalition were not vegetarians. Another reason was that there were too many soldiers in Pharaoh and his coalition. In the end, the Huli people also tried what they could do: they were outnumbered!
The Egyptian Pharaoh and his coalition forces massacred crazily in the Huli empire, even repeating the cruel things that the Huli people had done to the Syrians. In the end, the king of the Huli people
Knowing that the situation was over, he couldn't let the other party catch him, because being caught by the Egyptian Pharaoh would never do good. They had robbed the Egyptian Pharaoh of a lot of territory before. God knows what kind of cruel methods the Egyptian Pharaoh would use after catching him.
How to treat him?
So the king of the Huli people is currently in his palace, pouring fire oil on himself, and it ignites! It can be said that the king of the Huli people burned himself to death, and now the Huli people
The empire will also perish.
After the demise of the Huli empire, the Pharaoh regained the territory he had lost before, but for the civilians within the territory, this was slightly better. Anyway, it was not as cruel as before, and the main purpose of the Pharaoh's coalition was to resist the Huli people.
Due to the brutal rule of the Li people, the generals of the current coalition forces have surrendered under the throne of the Egyptian Pharaoh.
From here we can also see a truth, which is also a truth that we Chinese often talk about today: How can you not get your shoes wet if you often walk by the river? And we also want to say one more thing, in fact, the Egyptian Pharaoh was very fond of
The Huli people hated them so much that they almost killed them all and didn't even let them become slaves. This was very abnormal and extremely cruel.
And in the era of our ancestors, new empires were formed in many places on the earth. In addition to the ones we talked about before, and even the ones that have perished, there is another place we must talk about. This place is Greece.
!
Greece is made up of many city-states. What is a city-state? In fact, we have talked about it before. A city-state is a country with a city as the center and surrounding countryside.
The most powerful city-states in Greece are Athens and Sparta. In fact, we have a mythical story before, and one of the protagonists is from Athens. I don’t know if anyone has discovered it, but now we need to understand it systematically.
Sparta is a region of Laconia located on the Peloponnese Peninsula in southern Greece. The Laconia region is surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing the sea on one side, and in the middle is a very fertile plain, suitable for agricultural production.
The original meaning of Bada is an arable plain. Around the 11th century AD, a tribe called the Dorians went south to occupy Laconia, conquered the local residents, and settled here, while Sparta
The master is actually a Dorian.
Then there are the Spartans, who have about 250,000 people in the country, divided into three categories: the first type is the Spartans, with about 30,000 people, who belong to the ruling class, occupy land and slaves, and do not engage in any production.
, only conduct military training.
The second type of people are the Pilians, which originally means people living in the surrounding area. They number about 30,000 and are ruled by the Spartans. They are semi-free people with personal freedom but no citizenship rights and cannot participate in elections.
and other activities. They lived around the city, owned land and shops, were mainly engaged in handicrafts and commerce, and paid taxes and served the Spartans.
The third type of people were the Helots, who were the original inhabitants of Laconia. They became slaves after being conquered by the Spartans. The original number was not very large. But later the Spartans conquered the neighboring United States.
Xenia also classified a large number of prisoners of war as Helots, which resulted in a significant increase in the number of Helots, approximately 200,000.
The Helots were slaves of the Spartan state and were not owned by individuals. The Spartans could not execute slaves at will, but they could carry out collective massacres in the name of the state. They were fixed on the land and then engaged in agricultural labor. Every year
He gave half of the harvest to the Spartans and lived a miserable life without enough food and clothing.
This is almost exactly the same as what we said before about the relationship between the Aryans and the Dravidians in India, and the Aryans are the conquerors and the Dravidians are the conquered. But the difference is that Spar
The slaves in Da were not owned by individuals and could only be massacred on a large scale in the name of the country. In other words, in a certain sense, the lives of these slaves were protected, but with our current thinking and concepts
For me, what’s the point of living like this kind of slave life? Of course, many people may scold me and say that I disrespect life too much, because today in our era, in any country on the earth, there are still
Is this the concept of slaves? But you can’t talk about this kind of thing nonsense, because it will lead to death, so we won’t talk about it. But we can say that we don’t have slaves in China. Why? We will talk about it later.
Then we continue to talk about the previous topic. It can be said that the number of people in Sparta is relatively small, but there are many slaves, and strong enemies are around. Therefore, in order to prevent slaves from resisting and foreign invasion, Sparta implemented a
A very unique system, living a militarized life. The system they implement is a two-king system, that is, the country has two kings, but they only have unlimited power during wars. During wars, one king serves as the
The commander-in-chief, another king stayed behind. In peacetime, the affairs of the country were decided by a council of elders composed of thirty people.
When the Spartans were born, their parents would bathe them in spirits instead of water to test the baby's health. If the baby had convulsions or lost consciousness, he was left to die. After the test, the Spartan parents
Babies were also sent to the elders. Those babies that were disabled, thin, or considered unhealthy by the elders would be thrown into the valley. The reason for this is because the Spartans believed that only healthy babies
Only then can you grow into a strong warrior.
Next, these babies lived with their parents before they were seven years old. Spartan parents never pampered their children, but taught them to be content, happy, and not care about the quality of food.
Not afraid of darkness, not afraid of loneliness, not crying, not making noise.
After the age of seven, Spartans will leave their families, be organized into a youth team, and receive very strict military training. The captain is the bravest and strongest person selected from the young people who are over twenty years old. Children
We must obey him absolutely and enhance our courage, physical strength and cruelty.
They practice running, boxing and fighting, discus throwing, fencing, etc. every day. In order to train the children's patience, they are whipped with whips when worshiping gods during festivals every year. The children kneel in front of the statues and let the adults use them.
They are beaten hard with the whip, and they are not allowed to beg for mercy, or shout, and they have to grit their teeth and endure. After they reach the age of twelve, the training will become more stringent. They only wear a single piece of clothing throughout the year, whether in spring, summer, autumn or winter, and in winter they have to strip naked.
When running in the ice and snow, you are not allowed to shiver or even show fear.
What's even more terrifying is that these children have no bedding, only a reed mat made by themselves. They also have very little food, and they don't have enough to eat at all. This is just to train them to steal, mainly to steal.
Stealing the food of the Pilians. If you steal, you will be praised, otherwise you will be punished. Legend has it that a Spartan boy stole a fox and hid it in his clothes so that no one would find it. The fox
He bit him, but he tried not to make a sound, and was eventually bitten to death. This shows how powerful this kind of endurance is!
Then when they reached the age of twenty, the Spartans ended their education stage, became a formal soldier, and began to receive more formal military training. The main tactic of the Spartans was the phalanx, which not only required
The bravery of the soldiers also requires mutual cooperation and strict discipline to ensure that they can advance and retreat freely in battle.
After ten years of training, when they are thirty years old, Spartans can leave the army and get married, but they must also join a militia organization called Pheditia. They form a group of fifteen people.
The soldiers trained, went out together, fought together, and did not retire until they were sixty years old. Another thing is that before these Spartans fought, their mothers would give them a big shield and say to them: Either return in triumph.
, or lie down there fighting to death.
It is precisely because of this almost abnormal screening and training model that Sparta became one of the top powers in Greece.
There are about two to three hundred city-states in Greece, and their formation methods and backgrounds are also different, but they have several common characteristics: they are small countries with few people. Most of them are centered on a fortified city and combined with surrounding agricultural areas.
There is also a small-scale, extremely closed collective of citizens. Greek city-states all contain democratic elements in their political systems, and republics are the majority. The main body of the military system of the city-state is the citizen military system. There is no independent priest class in the city-state, and public officials are also part-time.
Priestly functions.
When we talk here, everyone may be complaining, why do we have to understand these things so clearly? Because the first bloody storm of super nature on our planet is coming, and now we are analyzing it
