The Egyptians surrendered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The effect of the 400 bombs even exceeded the tens of thousands of Ming troops assembled in Egypt, although these 400 bombs only killed a few hundred people, even if only 2,000 people were killed by trampling on each other, but it completely destroyed the Egyptians' will to resist.

God or demons......

It's not something that humans can fight against, anyway.

After the hope of the Zhen lord became more and more disillusioned, under the threat of the Nile flood, in the Ming army step by step, the cities of Egypt opened their doors to the Ming army and the army of His Royal Highness the King, just when the Aswan Dam officially started, the Egyptian king Murad entered Cairo under the escort of the Ming army and re-entered his palace, from this day on, except for some nomadic Bedouin people in the Western Desert did not return, the rest of Egypt was all pacified.

And then......

"Sir, is there anything special about these stones?"

Murad asked, confused.

Next to him stood a middle-aged man with eyes, holding a folder, writing and drawing on it, looking like he was working hard, and an assistant was standing next to this person and kept pulling the abacus, and then helping him calculate various data. In front of them was the famous Pyramid of Khufu, and countless laborers were being used there to remove huge ashlar stones from this magnificent structure using various tools and even a few huge steam bulldozers. Some of the dismantled ones were hoisted onto flatbed trailers through the gantry, and the latter was directly on a railway leading to the riverbank, which was only a dozen miles long and was the first railway in the Ming Dynasty and the first railway in the world except for the Ming Dynasty. A small train dragging twenty ashlars is honking its whistle to the docks, where a wooden river boat with a diesel engine is already loaded with ashlars, and after this truck, it will sail upriver to the Aswan Dam site.

By this time, the dam had already started.

Because Egypt has already been submitted, it is not so anxious in terms of time, so this time it is necessary to really build a water conservancy project for the benefit of the Egyptian people, not just to create a great flood of the Nile, so that the standard of construction has increased. And after the calculation, the height of the dam was also increased, and a 54-meter-high dam was built exactly according to the original historical British standards, which was previously designed to create floods, but it was too short for other purposes. In addition, the investment in the dam was also borne by the Kingdom of Egypt itself, and His Royal Highness the King of Egypt exchanged the proceeds of the Canal Company, the franchise of Nile River navigation, and the right to explore minerals in the territory in exchange for a huge loan from the Ming Imperial Bank.

Although he already owes a lot of money to the Imperial Bank.

But because of his different status, his credit rating was restored to the highest level, and the Imperial Bank was very happy to provide him with all the loans he needed, anyway, it was nothing more than printing a bunch of banknotes for him, and then these banknotes were handed over from his hands to those Ming engineers and material suppliers, and then these banknotes returned to the Imperial Bank, in fact, they didn't even need to print money, they just transferred their accounts directly in the Imperial Bank, which was nothing more than a financial game from the left hand to the right hand.

But the Egyptians would later be used as cattle and horses for generations to play the financial game of the Imperial Bank.

"Nothing special, just convenient!"

The middle-aged man said.

"Your Highness, you must know that it is very labor-intensive to dig such a stone from the mountains, process it and transport it to the docks, why bother with such a huge raw material warehouse!"

He went on solemnly.

Murad nodded casually, he was just asking.

"Let these untouchables be diligent and fast, what do they look like when they are half-dead, this king's forgiveness of their capital crimes is for them to make meritorious contributions, not for them to support their old age."

Then His Royal Highness said to an officer who was overseer.

The latter immediately took off the leather whip from his waist, and then walked over murderously, according to a migrant worker who did not look pleasing to the eye is a whip, the unlucky migrant worker screamed, he looked not young, obviously a little unable to bear the blow, suddenly sat down on the ground trembling and just wanted to say something, the overseer immediately another whip, the migrant worker fell to his knees in sorrow, calling his god to call his lord zhen.

But it didn't help.

"Hang him immediately, these self-depraved fellows are simply blaspheming the Holy Spirit, do you think it is when they enjoyed the worship in the temple in the past?"

Murad said unceremoniously.

Well, the migrant workers on this construction site are all elders from various temples, and they should have been cut down according to the rules, but Emperor Yang was merciful, and after hearing that there were a large number, he specially pleaded with His Royal Highness the King of Egypt for them, and then changed from death to hard labor, after all, these people are the subjects ruled by His Royal Highness the King of Egypt, even Emperor Yang is not good at interfering with the justice of the subject country, and only His Royal Highness the King of Egypt has the right to dispose of them.

Now, of course, it is also the right of His Royal Highness the King of Egypt to hang them.

The former imam of the Namur Daqingzhen Monastery looked up to the heavens in grief and called out to his deity, but his deity did not appear, and beside him appeared two soldiers of the Egyptian King's Defence Guard, one of whom held him by one arm and dragged him to the gantry crane with ashlar stones. The rest did not need to be too troublesome, took a rope sleeve and hung it around his neck, and the other end was hung on the hook of the inverted chain, and the worker who had been waiting next to him immediately pulled the inverted chain, and soon the previously respected theologian was hoisted, struggled in mid-air a few times, and ended his life with his head tilted......

Or rather, he went to the gem-encrusted garden to enjoy the eternal caresses of the ladies.

"Whoever dares to worship a false god again is the end."

His Royal Highness the King of Egypt roared viciously.

The former elders and current slave prisoners were silent with grief and indignation on their faces.

"Don't get to work yet!"

Then their king shouted.

The overseers immediately picked up their whips, and the elders panicked and quickly picked up their tools to continue dismantling the pyramids.

The middle-aged man turned a blind eye to this.

This is the exercise of the sacred power given to him by the emperor by His Royal Highness the King of Egypt, this is the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Egypt, not to mention that he is only a small middle level of the Ministry of Industry, even if the prime minister of the Ming Empire comes, he has no right to interfere, not to mention hanging a handful of people, that is, His Royal Highness the King of Egypt cut down all the hard labor prisoners here, this is also his right, no one has the right to interfere. However, these huge pyramids in front of him are indeed shocking, just now he roughly calculated there, no more, only need to demolish this pyramid, the removed ashlar is enough to repair the Aswan Dam, and there are several such pyramids around here.

It's nothing short of a miracle.

He really wondered how these pyramids were built back then.

At this moment, there was a dull loud noise behind him, like thunder before a summer rainstorm, and he subconsciously turned his head and saw that the face of the giant Sphinx, which was also a miracle, suddenly exploded into a ball of fire, blowing the nose of the colossus into pieces, and about two miles opposite the colossus, a group of soldiers of the Egyptian King's Defense Guard was surrounding a cannon, quickly cleaning the chamber and loading the cannonballs, and there was a Ming army instructor next to them to instruct.

Well, this is the routine training of the Egyptian royal defense guard.

"Your Highness, your army is making rapid progress!"

He said to Murad with a smile.

"This king is the national domain, and he doesn't dare to relax for a moment, Egypt is the border of the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers must always be ready to fight to defend the Ming Dynasty, so it is not okay to train daily without being tight."

Murad said with a solemn face.

However, it is not his original idea to use the Sphinx as a target, in fact, the previous Ottoman Guards often did this, but they all used muskets, and now the Egyptian royal defense guard has been replaced by cannons, according to their scourge method, it is estimated that it will not take more than a year for this miracle colossus to be bombarded into a pile of rocks, of course, if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, there is no need to care too much about this kind of thing in the era of ignorance.

In fact, at this time, the whole of Egypt was in a carnival of destruction, destroying temples, burning scriptures, and especially after the legend of the Seventh Army gradually spread, and then added to the archaeological boom.

It's not just the Ming army everywhere.

The Egyptians themselves are also doing it, Murad through his friends in the Ming army, after knowing how many good things Fan Hong dug up in the Valley of the Kings, he was so depressed that he slapped himself, close to 200 million dragon dollars of gold, silver and jewelry, he has lived in Egypt all his life, and has been a king for so long, why didn't he think about digging there? But now don't think about it in the Valley of the Kings, the Seventh Army has set up it as a military base, and whatever else can be dug up has nothing to do with him.

But there is more to Egypt than just the Valley of the Kings.

These pyramids are full of pharaonic tombs, the Valley of the Kings can dig up so many good things, and the other pyramids will certainly not be empty, which is why he is so enthusiastic about demolishing the pyramids, not only the Pyramid of Khufu, the Egyptian royal defense guard, the Ming army stationed in Egypt, and even some merchants with background from the Ming Dynasty, are frantically looking for those pyramids all over Egypt and then digging for treasures. And many of them have gained a lot of money, and some can even be said to be amazing, which also makes this craze intensify, even the Ming domestic restaurant teahouse is describing how the new territory of the empire is full of gold, and some people even began to call Egypt El Dorado.

In fact, there is a lot of gold in Egypt.

They already have a gold worship complex, since the time of the pharaohs this country has been full of gold fanaticism, and the desert of Egypt is full of gold mines, so that the enthusiasm of the Ming people to run to Egypt is mobilized at once. (To be continued.) )
