one hundred and forty six
After the gates of the Egyptian city were opened, Cyrus led the army that had been hiding outside the city for a long time, like a flood that burst a dike, and then rushed into the Egyptian city crazily.
The Egyptian soldiers defending the city had no time to prepare. They were instantly frightened by the situation in front of them. The Egyptian nobles and even priests who were currently fleeing with gold and silver were also ruthlessly killed by the Persian army! Obviously, Cyrus
When Shishi said he wanted to protect their safety, it was just a joke.
In fact, it is not difficult for us to understand this. The gold and silver originally belonged to Cyrus, and the Persian Empire also desperately needed money. How could it be given to others? And wasn't the purpose of attacking Egypt just to obtain more financial benefits?
Therefore, the fall of the main city of Egypt was only caused by the greed of Egyptian nobles and priests, which was also a negative consequence of the concept of money. The once glorious Egyptian palace was now ablaze, and the Persian army was burning, killing and looting in the town. Many Egyptians
The man was still sleeping and was unaware of the fall of the town. When he heard the noise, he was ruthlessly killed by the Persian warriors as soon as he got up.
In fact, the main city of Egypt has many Egyptian warriors, but they are all unprepared. Strictly speaking, Cyrus's army equipment is actually slightly better than the equipment of the Egyptian soldiers. Therefore, that night, the main city of Egypt
The smell of blood is so strong that it is so pungent that even being exposed to it can make it difficult to breathe. There are cries, cries for help, panicked screams, painful screams, etc...
The Egyptian empire had stood firm for thousands of years, including the extremely great pyramids and mausoleums, the complex traffic routes in the towns, the beautiful gardens, and even the extremely grand Temple of the Sun, etc. At this time,
At this moment, they all seemed to have lost their former majesty, quietly waiting for the ravages of these Persians.
At this moment, in the main city of the Egyptian Empire, whether it is the lofty belief in the Sun God, the lofty Pharaoh in the magnificent palace, or the nobles and even priests who once believed that money can defeat the law, there are also more civilians and even slaves. At this moment
They all stand on an equal footing again, and they no longer have the so-called distinction between high and low.
The Egyptian Empire, this great empire originally built on the mythical story of the Sun God, has experienced the baptism of cruel humanity again and again. There have been countless rivers of blood on this land. It once created the concept of money and made everyone
Everything that the pharaohs of all ages were proud of...
At this moment, the final resistance is being carried out. Unfortunately, it is no longer able to resist. The Egyptian Empire really has no ability to resist anymore. This is the end of the Egyptian Empire's final destiny. This is exactly like the will of the supreme Sun God. This
This land that has experienced the baptism of blood countless times, this night, in the endless crying for mercy and despair, once again accepted the most crazy baptism of blood, but for the Egyptian Empire, this is the last time.
The Persian army almost always aimed to exterminate all the Egyptian people, regardless of their class, because they knew that these people could not be kept or even made slaves, because Egypt was once ruled by the Hyksos.
The Egyptians also successfully resisted, and this is a lesson learned from the past. Therefore, Cyrus issued an order: All Egyptians must be driven out and killed!
Another thing is that our ancestors don’t have as many rules when it comes to fighting wars as we do in modern times. In fact, it is modern war fighting in our civilized society. Those military disciplines and the like are just like nonsense without any meaning! Why should we do this?
To understand? In fact, the military discipline we are about to talk about is only one aspect, that is, when a town is captured, the civilians must not be exterminated, burning, killing, looting, etc. shall not be carried out.
But why did our ancestors fight? Isn’t it just to kill them all? Isn’t it just so that they can burn, kill and loot arbitrarily? Otherwise, what is the purpose of fighting? So far, almost all the people in the main city of Egypt, including the Pharaoh, have been driven out and only a few have been killed.
A small number of people took advantage of the chaos and ran away. At this time, the main city of the Egyptian Empire was completely a sea of fire.
The Persian army was burning, killing and looting everywhere. There was fire and despair everywhere. The sun god that the Egyptians once believed in did not come down to save them. Even the statue of the sun god was completely destroyed by the Persians. But in the process,
The most painful thing is the Egyptian women. The Persian warriors are men. They abuse the Egyptian women everywhere. No matter what age they are, as long as they can be used for enjoyment, they will be killed after use, because this is an order.
The main city of Egypt has completely fallen! This is really just caused by the greed of money among the Egyptian nobles and priests, but they did not survive, yes, they were also driven out and killed! Because all the gold and silver treasures belong to Persia
, also belonged to Cyrus.
Now the entire main city of the Egyptian Empire is under the control of Cyrus. Corpses are everywhere, but most of them are only Egyptians. At this moment, Cyrus is thinking, because they found many, many people who are not Egyptians.
, they were slaves captured by the Egyptian Empire, and Cyrus was considering how to deal with them, because there were too many of them. Cyrus believed that these slaves created wealth for Egypt day and night, and Cyrus himself was once
Slaves, he knows what the lives of slaves are like.
At this point Cyrus wanted to carefully understand where these slaves came from, and these slaves talked about their origins. Cyrus finally ordered his men to sort out these words, and he suddenly understood that these slaves
Their ancestors were used as slaves by Egypt hundreds of years ago and passed down from generation to generation. By their generation, it turned out that this was already an extremely miserable story:
Around the tenth century BC, after the death of Solomon, the Jewish king of Israel, his son Rehoboam came to the throne. However, due to Rehoboam's mediocrity and incompetence, the country was divided into two, with the Kingdom of Israel in the north and Samaria as its capital, and the Kingdom of Judea in the south.
The capital remains Jerusalem.
About 722 BC, Gong of the Egyptian Empire. In fact, we have talked about Gong in detail before. He was the first great figure to unify Egypt. It was Gong's son who led the army and not only attacked
They overthrew the Kingdom of Israel and razed Samaria to the ground. How cruel was this! Furthermore, they took away many of the nobles and civilians of Israel as an effort. There were about 27,000 people. First, they took them away.
They were exiled to far away places and moved other ethnic groups here. These other ethnic groups existed here for about two hundred years, but in the end they could not survive, and the Kingdom of Israel was completely destroyed!
The destruction of the Kingdom of Israel greatly frightened the Jewish Kingdom. In order to avoid repeating the same mistake, the Jewish King wrote a letter in a humble tone and sent an envoy to the Pharaoh of Egypt. He also sent 24 tons of
of gold.
When the Egyptian Pharaoh saw the gold and this letter, he was very happy and decided not to conquer the Jewish Kingdom. The military ministers of the Jewish Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief, but from then on the Jewish Kingdom became a satellite of the Egyptian Empire.
, this resulted in the Hebrews having only one Jewish kingdom left, so the Hebrews were also called Jews from then on.
Later, the Egyptian Pharaoh died, and a new Pharaoh was replaced, and the Kingdom of Judea became a vassal state of the new Pharaoh. The Egyptian Empire has been fighting foreign wars. The Pharaoh wanted to dominate Western Asia, but also for more resources and slaves and even
Land. Around 601 B.C., the land of Egypt continued to have civil wars, which resulted in a very large resistance. Whether it was the Egyptian Empire or other slave states of the Egyptian Empire, they all suffered heavy losses in the civil war.
!So the Jewish king decided to attach the Jewish kingdom to the slave state of Egypt, because the slave state of Egypt would look stronger. This can be said to be the Jewish king's decision to adapt to the situation.
When Pharaoh learned about this incident, he was very angry and said through gritted teeth: He would never let the people of the Jewish kingdom be slaves like the people of the slave kingdom, never give them too much pain to the Jews, and even protect them all the time.
Kingdom, and now the king of the Jewish Kingdom can actually do such a thing, so he must flatten the entire Jerusalem!
But although the Pharaoh was so angry, unfortunately the Egyptian Empire had suffered too heavy losses and did not immediately attack Jerusalem. Around 589 BC, the current king of Judea died of illness, and his son Jachin came to the throne. At this time, Egypt
The empire had restored a lot of military strength, and the time was ripe, so it thought that the previous accounts needed to be settled. At this point, Pharaoh ordered a large army, even an army led by Pharaoh himself, to besiege Jerusalem.
The people of the Jewish Kingdom were besieged by Pharaoh's army in Jerusalem for more than two months. Pharaoh also ordered their soldiers to cut off the water source and food supply in Jerusalem. In the past two months,
, all that is left in the towns of Jerusalem are a group of people holding gold and silver treasures and crying. It is simply a hell within hell, because no matter how much gold and silver treasures they have, they cannot exchange for food and drinkable water. The whole
Too many Jews died of hunger in Jerusalem, and too many people even died of thirst. Gold and silver treasures can be seen thrown around on the streets, but no one picks them up, because there is no point in picking them up.
, and next to these gold and silver treasures are dead or even spoiled corpses.
The Jews are constantly disposing of the corpses of their own people every day, either burning them or digging pits to bury them, because if they don't do this, a great plague will occur. If a great plague occurs, then the Jews are in danger of being completely exterminated.
.
We can say that Jerusalem, the current capital of the Jews, is really countless times more miserable than hell in hell. This place is definitely not a human world. The streets are full of hungry Jews who are skinny and even unconscious, but they cannot get out of the city.
