Chapter 230: Africa in Turmoil
Africa in the Han Dynasty has been called since the Hellenistic period; Afrika. It means; The sun is scorching.
At this moment, although the forces in Africa are in chaos, they are still dominated by the Pharaohs.
The African Pharaoh Society has a very deep heritage, and in this part of Africa, it is comparable to the Taoism of the Han Dynasty, no, his power is stronger than Taoism.
Since a thousand years ago, the two realms of Xianfan were divided, and the pharaohs of Africa took the initiative to dissolve the new Egyptian dynasty in order to preserve their strength, and established the Kingdom of Meroe in eastern Africa.
After the shrinking of the Pharaonic Society, the monk Menlinik of southern Africa rose to prominence as king and established the kingdom of Nubia. The Kingdom of Nubia was the predecessor of Ethiopia.
Coincidentally, a few decades later, a city also rose in northern Africa; Carthage.
Unlike Nubia, the founder of Carthage, not only was not an African, but also a woman.
Carthage is a Phoenician language in northern Africa, which means; The new city is located on the north coast of Africa (later Tunisia), bordering the Mediterranean Sea and across the sea from Greece in Europe.
The woman who founded Carthage was a princess of the Greek kingdom of Tyre, and her name was Dido. After the division of immortals, the monks of the Gao and foundation building periods left the human world, and the Greek kingdoms fell into chaos.
The king of Cyprus, relying on the cultivation of the later stage of the foundation, attacked the long-standing kingdom of Tyre, the father of Dido; King Muton of Tyre was only in the early stages of foundation building, and was no match for the king of Cyprus at all, and died at the hands of the other party in order to protect his daughter from escaping.
Dido hated it. But she was only a cultivator at the peak of Qi refining. Not even more an opponent of the King of Cyprus. He fled from Tyre and fled south.
Perhaps it was the motivation for revenge, or perhaps the relationship between Dido's luck and luck, three months later, Dido not only successfully escaped from Greece, but also successfully broke through the Qi refining period and became a foundation building monk.
Dido came to Africa with the intention of rebuilding the country here. He took out all the silver and gold that he had, and offered to the chieftain of the land, King Jab, enough land to buy land.
Territory is the lifeblood of the chief, how can King Yabu be willing to sell it?
Dido had no choice but to fool King Yabu, took out a piece of cowhide and said, "I only want this piece of cowhide to cover the place!" ”
King Yabu never expected that this piece of Dido's cowhide was a magic weapon, and he saw that the cowhide flew out of Dido's hand, growing bigger and bigger, almost covering the sky and the sun.
King Jab knew that he had been deceived, but he did not dare to embarrass Dido, and gave a part of his territory to Dido.
Dido had his roots on this territory. It took more than ten years (814 BC) to recruit the homeless. He founded the city of Carthage, ascended the throne and reigned as king, and re-established the kingdom of Tyre.
After that, as Dido's cultivation became higher and higher, the power of Tyre became more and more powerful, and decades later, Queen Dido's cultivation reached the late stage of the foundation, and gradually returned to Greece with her army, defeating and beheading her father's enemy, the king of Cyprus.
At this time, the Greek powers were not willing to accept Queen Dido into Greece; There are two reasons for this; One is because Dido's combat power is too strong, and if they come back, they will have one less cake.
Second, only a few of Queen Dido's people were Greeks, and more than ninety percent of Africa's Phoenicians.
Outnumbered and with no chance of victory, Queen Dido retreated to Africa, surrendering her expansionist gaze to the interior of Africa.
Decades later, the state of Tyre controlled most of the Phoenicians in northern Africa.
Later, Queen Dido marched to the western Mediterranean, occupying the southern coast of Spain and its nearby islands, Sardinia, Corsica and western Sicily, and began to dominate the western Mediterranean, competing with Greek powers in the Mediterranean.
For 200 years, the territory and power of Tyre grew, and eventually, it inevitably came into conflict with the Kingdom of Meroe, to which the Egyptian Pharaohs belonged in eastern Africa.
As the old saying goes; Emaciated camels are bigger than horses!
When the immortals are not divided,
However, this does not mean that Pharaoh will be afraid of things and be bullied to the head, if he does not fight back, how will the face of the Pharaoh Council remain?
As a result, Dido, the queen of Tyre, who was alone, experienced her first defeat after ascending the throne!
Dido knew; The expansion of Tyre had reached its limit, and it was impossible to defeat Greece to the north and Egypt to the south, so he put his mind on cultivation one by one, and soon after, his cultivation went one step further and left the human world.
Without Dido's kingdom of Tyre, his descendants could not continue to fight against Greece, and in order to survive, they had to take refuge in the Pharaohs.
More than 200 years later, a bull-wrenching figure - Alexander was born.
In 332 BC, Alexander led his troops to Africa, conquered the African countries very smoothly, and became the pharaoh of the Egyptian Pharaohs.
Why is he so?
Because Alexander is a proper god of the second generation!
He is the reincarnation of the son of the Greek god king Zeus, even if Zeus is no longer in the human world, no one in the West dares to embarrass Alexander!
Moreover, Alexander himself is also very strong, not only is his cultivation not weak, but he also has an artifact to protect himself.
According to later generations, Alexander is a dragon Aotian with a plug-in, a combat genius who carries the aura of the protagonist and becomes stronger and stronger.
What about the Pharaohs? The seniors of the upper realm sent down oracles; Can't embarrass Alexander, they can only pretend!
Ten years later, Alexander's human experience was completed, he flew away from the human world, and the African forces returned to their original forms.
Alexander's remaining general in Africa, Ptolemy, declared himself self-reliant and founded the Ptolemaic Kingdom in central Africa.
It is better to say that Ptolemy is self-reliant, but rather that he is a pawn supported by the Pharaohs!
When Alexander became Pharaoh, Ptolemy followed him into the Pharaohs' Order, and now Ptolemy is also an elder of the Pharaohs' Order.
If Pharaoh had not acquiesced in his self-reliance, Ptolemy would not have dared to stand on his own, and if his country would have pursued his rebellion, how would Pharaoh have allowed a foreign force to lie on his side?
Two hundred years later, (146 BC) the Roman Commander-in-Chief - Emilian. Cornelius. Scipio led his troops to attack Africa, broke the capital of Carthage, and Carthage was destroyed.
Since then, northern Africa has become the backyard of the Romans, and the people of Carthage have grown up without a monarch for hundreds of years.
October of the eighth year of the Emperor, in the northeast corner of Africa, the country of Bonthe.
Jia Xu, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Wen Chou, and Zhao Yun came to Africa, and the country of Bont was their base.
The state of Bont is a small country in Africa, rich in spices, and has been established for nearly a thousand years, but it has rarely been affected by war.
Because of the special location of the country of Bonthe, located on a promontory in the northeast of Africa, separated from the interior of Africa by volcanoes and deserts, for the vast territory of Africa, this place is a barren land, and no one wants to give it away for nothing.
There may not be many people who are familiar with the state of Bonthe, but his other name should be slightly heard of by the magistrates. That is; Somalia.
Yes, it is the Somalia of Somali pirates. (To be continued.) )
