one hundred and forty-nine
But what Pharaoh did not expect was that it was precisely because of his own actions that many Jewish cultural customs were preserved in the Jewish Quarter. We can also say that the current Jewish life here is quite good.
It’s really good! At least they live a richer and more worry-free life than more Egyptian civilians.
However, the Jews still miss their hometown, that is, Jerusalem. When thinking of Jerusalem, many historical stories from the past seem to be playing out again in their Jewish minds, so the homesickness becomes more and more serious.
The Jews also firmly believe that the days of suffering will soon be over. But from our modern point of view, are the Jews really suffering at this time? Anyway, I personally feel that this so-called suffering is simply inexplicable.
Because they got too much wealth from Egypt!
Another thing is that the Jews have always believed that God, Jehovah, will definitely send a savior to save them, let them return to their homeland, and restore the glorious Jewish kingdom of the past.
Soon after the rise of the Persian Empire, Cyrus came. The Jews believed that Cyrus was the savior sent by God Jehovah and the springboard of their destiny. Therefore, these Jews used them to make usury loans from the Egyptians.
, whatever wealth you get from doing business, you are willing to join forces with Cyrus of Persia to attack Egypt!
After Cyrus learned the truth about all this, although he did not have a good impression of these Jews and even wanted to kill them. But Cyrus also knew that what he needed now was soldiers, although Cyrus had indeed captured
The main city of Egypt, but Egypt is so big that it is not possible to completely destroy Egypt by capturing just one main city.
So Cyrus thought again and again, and then cooperated with the Jews and began to attack other places. Because a lot of the wealth of the Kingdom of Egypt was in the hands of the Jews, the main city of Egypt was completely destroyed in the end! This process was bloody and cruel.
To the point where countless Egyptians were killed by Cyrus' Persian army and the Jews.
Finally, Cyrus allowed the Jews to go back and rebuild their homeland. The Jews took the remaining wealth from the Egyptian empire and went back to rebuild their Jerusalem.
Moreover, Cyrus also took the 5,400 gold objects obtained from the Egyptian Empire, which were originally from the Temple of Jehovah in Jerusalem, and asked the Jews to take them back with them. At this point, the Jews were overjoyed, and the Jews were called the "Dwellers" in the Bible.
Ruth is God's instrument, and God bless him and make all nations surrender before him.
Then more than 40,000 Jews formed a mighty team and began to return home. And these Jews who had suffered so much in a foreign country, after a very difficult journey across mountains and rivers, finally saw what they had been.
The ruins of Jerusalem. They were so excited that they knelt down, howled loudly, raised their heads to the sky, spread their arms to thank God, Jehovah, who had saved them, and cheered that the era of slaves was finally over.
At this point, you may think this matter is very strange. In fact, I think it is strange myself, but this is how things develop, and it is hard for us to say anything.
Let's continue to return to our topic. Cyrus can be said to be the king of Persia. Now even the main city of Egypt, which has been precarious for thousands of years and has such a developed civilization, has been destroyed. But let's not worry about what Cyrus used.
How to destroy the main city of Egypt? Anyway, the existence of history is only based on the results. This is what many of us in modern times say. As a concept of success, the process is not actually important. What is important is the complete meaning of the result.
Consistent. Of course, what I want to say here is that the important thing about anything is not the result, but the process. Anyway, I am just complaining.
And now we can also say that Emperor Cyrus is really arrogant! Now Cyrus has completely become the overlord of Western Asia!
But Cyrus has not yet stopped his continued conquest, and the remaining city-states in Egypt that have resurrected and have not been completely exterminated make Cyrus very uneasy and want to truly destroy the Egyptian empire, so in order to
To relieve his worries, Cyrus personally led a large army in an attempt to conquer the Massagetae in the east of Persia first.
However, although Cyrus did not underestimate the military power of the Massagetaeans, Cyrus led a real army this time. During the very bloody battle, Cyrus himself unfortunately died in the battle.
, this is not because Cyrus underestimated the military strength of the Massagetaeans, but overestimated his own combat effectiveness. We can indeed understand it this way.
The death of Cyrus in battle caused a great shock to the entire Persian Empire, but a country cannot be without a king and a family cannot be without a master for a day, so Cyrus' son Cambyses succeeded to the throne.
Although Cambyses had been influenced by Cyrus the Great since he was a child and was very brave and warlike, Cambyses's living environment was completely different from that of Cyrus. This resulted in Cambyses living without his father.
Ruth's ambitions.
Another thing is that Cambyses currently has to face a more troublesome thing, which is the crazy revenge of the Massagetae people. We can say that Cambyses spent almost his whole life guarding the territory of Persia, and
There is no ability to expand territory. Of course, it is not difficult to see from this that whether the supreme ruler of an empire has great abilities or not has the most direct impact on the empire.
Although Cambyses did not make any major contributions to the Persian Empire, he was very good at guarding the territory. Moreover, during Cambyses' reign, the Persian Empire also gave birth to a special kind of
Culture is called Zoroastrianism!
After the death of Cambyses, the Zoroastrians in Persia were greedy for money and wanted to get more money. In fact, they had almost the same thinking pattern as the Egyptian nobles and priests before. From here, it is not difficult for us to imagine that in such a highly civilized country,
In the Persian Empire, almost half of the people are no longer limited to this culture of the concept of gods, but are enslaved by the magic of money, and money has increasingly shown its unique power, and its role in our human history
important role played.
Therefore, the Zoroastrian believers actually came up with a very weird way to gain the supreme power of the Persian Empire. The throne of the Persian Empire is currently usurped by the Zoroastrian monk Gomeda pretending to be a prince. But in the past eight months, the Persian
The new king never summoned the ministers, but only amassed wealth wantonly. Although the ministers were very afraid of the new king, such strange things inevitably caused the ministers to discuss privately.
Why doesn't the new king appear in public? And there is absolutely no airtight wall in this world, and paper can never contain the fire, so eventually the matter leaked, and the ministers also heard some strange rumors. These rumors were mainly:
I heard that the new king Bardia was disguised as the Zoroastrian monk Gomeda. This rumor spread very quickly, and people all over Persia were talking about it.
It was just when people throughout Persia were doubtful that a princess of Cambyses discovered that the new king had no ears! When the princess's father Otanes found out about this, he immediately concluded that the new king Bardia was
It was disguised as the Zoroastrian monk Gautam because during the reign of Cyrus, the Zoroastrian monk Gautam made a mistake, so Cyrus ordered his ears to be cut off at that time.
After Otanes was sure, he told six other nobles in Persia about the matter, and told these six nobles that the Zoroastrian people might have killed the new king! This is a very serious matter. So.
After discussion among the seven of them, they finally decided to kill Gundam and regain the supreme power of Persia.
Moreover, the connections between the nobles are very wide, so within a few days, the news that the new king of Persia was not a real prince, but a Zoroastrian monk named Gundam, spread throughout almost the entire capital of Persia. Of course Gundam
Mo also heard about this and understood that his situation was over. Because he was pretending, even the guards around him did not obey his orders, let alone dispatching troops. Therefore, Gundam Mo was also very
He understood that if he was caught, he would definitely die.
So the Zoroastrian monk Gautama took the treasures he had collected over the past six months and began to flee in a hurry overnight. However, Gautama was still caught. He was captured by Otanes and Daliu in Media.
Shi Yi and others were killed on the spot!
And now the Zoroastrian monk Gautam is dead, which means that the false king is dead, but the original new king is also dead, so there is no prince to take over the throne. What should we do?
So the seven nobles sat together and discussed this matter continuously. In the end, they felt that they had to choose another person to be the new king. After all, the empire really cannot live without a king for a day. In the end, after constant arguments among the seven nobles,
However, Otanes decided to withdraw from the race for the throne, and the other six people agreed for a day, and then gathered together in the suburbs. Whoever's horse cries first will be king, saying that this is very fair. As a result, Darius I
With the help of the groom, his horse barked first and he became the king of Persia.
After Darius I succeeded to the throne, the situation he faced was very serious. Because the nobles of the empire headquarters supported their own troops and claimed that they were all legal heirs to the throne. What was even more outrageous was that the newly conquered areas also began to
They became independent one after another.
This gave Darius I a very headache, thinking? What kind of Persian throne is this? It was said well before that whoever's horse calls first will be the king of Persia, but now these nobles are saying,
Chapter completed!
