Chapter Eighty-Three: Do You Believe Me When I Say Two Watches Today?

Ramses II rejected Moses' suggestion?

Sure enough. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the story of the Exodus, Su Chongcheng could vaguely guess the reason for Ramses II's rejection of the proposal and Moses' suggestion.

Moses is right, she is a very smart guy, she knows the truth that 'governing the country is like governing water', and the so-called 'blocking is better than sparse, and sparse is better than leading'. 400,000 Hebrew slaves, which is not a small number, even if these Hebrews were unarmed slaves, even if nine-tenths of these Hebrews were old, weak, sick and disabled, and 40,000 young men could resist the Egyptian rule.

The army of 40,000 people was still 1,200 years ago when the productivity and population were poor......

What does 40,000 troops represent in this day and age?

One-handed slap of the song, flat A push Athens! Open the two rivers and destroy the two rivers, and hang the golden shining!

-- Well, although the last two sentences are not very practical, the first two sentences can indeed be done, and 1,200 years ago, when there were no firearms and the victory was decided by numbers, an army of 40,000 people could easily destroy Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty, and Athens, the capital of ancient Greece......

So, if these Hebrews really wanted to, they could have leveled the cities of Memphis and Thebes.

This was the threat, and because of this, Moses wanted Ramses II to accept these Hebrews, tolerate them, integrate them into the Egyptians, and solve the problem once and for all.

The Egyptians crushed the Hebrews too much, and the Hebrews were too numerous, once the Hebrews had the intention of resisting, although it was impossible for these 40,000 people to destroy this slave country of nearly 900,000 square kilometers, but with the Hittites army preparing to attack Egypt outside, unless Ramses II had a follow-up move, otherwise these two armies would definitely be able to fight Egypt inside and outside.

This is not alarmism, the Hittites pushed Babylon into the valley of the two rivers at the beginning of the fifteenth century BC, and the First Babylonian Dynasty came to an end.

The Hittites were skilled in metallurgy, and they learned to smelt iron at an early age, and the Assyrian Empire relied on the Hittites' iron tools to sweep the Near East.

The Hittite kingdoms relied on their military strength to dominate Asia Minor, and they used their military power to invade Anatolia, Syria, Canaan, Cyprus, and even clashed with the powerful kingdom of ancient Egypt.

Ancient Egypt and the Hittite kingdom clashed over the control of Syria, and in the time of Ramses II, there was a battle with the Hittite kingdom of Kadesh, a total of 5,000 wagons were involved, according to the ancient Egyptian chariot of two people and the Hittite kingdom of a chariot can carry three people, a total of 20,000 to 30,000 troops were invested in this battle.

The battle ended with the victory of Ramses II, but even so, the Hittites, who were militarily powerful, still coveted the mighty ancient Egypt, and if they were not stupid, the Hebrews would have seized the opportunity to attack.

In due course, even if you have Gilgamesh's A++ Noble Phantasm King's Treasure, it will be useless, unless Ramses II is an exceptional Heroic Spirit with an EX Noble Phantasm......

All in all, Moses' fears were not unreasonable, and Su Chongcheng also felt that she was right, and Ramses II needed to consider Moses' advice.

However...... Listening to Moses, Ramses II she did not listen to Moses' advice.

In the context of the story of Exodus, this idea is not difficult to understand.

The Hebrews were so numerous that Ramses II knew this very well, so she was afraid that the Hebrews would get back on their feet, and she wanted to suppress the Hebrews, even going so far as to kill the Hebrew children.

The Hebrews were a threat, and they were a foreign people after all.

The Egyptians had embraced the Hebrews for four hundred years, and the problem with this people was that they were too clever, they were too good at multiplying, and in these four hundred years they had taken an indispensable place in Egypt.

That's right, in this world, there are a handful of foreigners, with their own language, religion and culture, who refuse to integrate into the local society, and who still coax the elect who claim to be God, but these people still have a large population and a large amount of land, who does Ramses II not do with them, and who does a certain mustachioed Führer in Germany not do with them?

400,000 foreign population, this is really too eye-catching, Ramses II is now in a state of mind like Chairman Chiang, she wants to pull out this stinger that grows in the flesh of Egyptians.

The Hittites could not fight, the Hebrews must die!

Moses wasn't in that position, so she didn't understand what Ramses II was doing, but Su Chongcheng, someone who could look directly at 5,000 years of history, could understand.

He knew that Ramses II was right, she did the right thing, but she didn't do it thoroughly.

The mustachioed Führer did it thoroughly, but there were too many Jews at that time, and he couldn't kill them cleanly.

Now there are only 400,000 Hebrews, as long as Ramses II has the patience to kill them all, then he can eliminate future troubles, no longer have to worry about the future, and solve the problem of the Hittites with confidence.

From this point of view, although Ramses II has the intention to solve this problem, she does not have enough courage, and even sways between killing and not killing, which really makes Su Chongcheng sigh, but he didn't expect that Ramses II, who is called brutal, is still a soft-hearted little girl.

Even if you are the strongest goddess who rules 900,000 square kilometers of Egypt, you are still a soft-hearted little girl.

Su Chongcheng said in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh, thinking of what his uncle had said to him before.

Then, he couldn't help but repeat what he had said earlier.

"A monarch, especially a new monarch, is incapable of doing all the things that are supposed to be good men; Because he wanted to keep the country, he often had to be treacherous, unkind, contrary to humanity, contrary to the way of God. Therefore, the monarch must be mentally prepared to adapt to the winds of fate and the vicissitudes of things, but if possible, he must not depart from the way of good, but if necessary, he must know how to go on the path of evil. ”

His voice was soft, so light that it avoided the ears of the little slave standing by, but none of this escaped the ears of Moses.

"Atum ......"

Listening to Su Chongcheng's words, she was stunned, "What were you talking about just now?" ”

"Nothing."

Su Chongcheng shook his head and asked casually; "Moses, don't you understand what Ramses II did? Obviously what you said is right, but she is unwilling to do it, are you very unhappy? ”

And before Moses could speak, he spoke again.

"It's right if you can't figure it out, there is a kind of person in this world who can do anything, and you can't figure it out, just because you're not that kind of person."

He looked at the sky and whispered;

"Moses, be clear that there is no one in this world who wants to be like that. If you become that kind of person, it means that you have been abandoned by the people of this country. ”

"You will eat alone, sleep alone, be in a daze alone, look at the sky alone, no one wants to be with you, no one likes you, although you have the whole world, but ah, all you really have is yourself."

"You know, loneliness, it's not doing something without one to accompany you, but doing something that no one understands, this is the greatest loneliness."

"Nobody wants to be like that, but there is a kind of person who has to be like that, and the crown will make the person who wears it a head above him, a status symbol. But the true meaning of the crown is: when disaster falls from heaven, I will resist all for you, and let you see only golden hope forever. ”

"At that time, no one is willing to accompany you from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road."
