Chapter 566: "Veterinarian" (45)
In 1458 B.C., a rebel warlord shook the power of Egypt, and if the rebels came in, Egyptian civilization could be destroyed.
During the decades of Hatshepsut's reign, the three million people of ancient Egypt, mostly farmers and fishermen, lived a plain and happy life, scattered along the fertile banks of the Nile.
The queen and queen died one after another, and while the whole country of Egypt was mourning, Egypt's enemies began to gather strength.
The Syrian warlord, the suffering Prince Kadesh, was inciting a rebellion among the northern royal clans, who had been under Egyptian rule for decades and under royal control, and after gaining the support of one hundred and fifty princes, Kadaishi was ready to attack Egypt and destroy the Pharaoh's regime.
Egypt, at this time, is in danger, and the country needs a leader with unwavering courage and military experience to lead them to defeat the rebels.
The queen is dead, Thutmose is in power, for twenty-two years, he has been subject to the queen, he has been living a life of arrogance and lasciviousness, ignoring the government, but now, the queen is dead, and the enemies of Egypt are about to come in.
To the Egyptians, Thutmose was their god, his body was sacred, but to Prince Kadesh he was a young, inexperienced pharaoh with little control over royal power.
The Eighteenth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt had a long history of warfare, and a century and a half ago, the founder of the Eighteenth Dynasty expelled the ancestors of Prince Kadaishi from northern Egypt, and since then, Syria and Egypt have been fighting for supremacy.
However, none of the pharaohs of the Eighteenth Dynasty before Thutmose had encountered the dire situation that Egypt was now experiencing.
Jabeti and the others have been guarding the door, and there has been no movement in the house for a long time, the door is locked from the inside, and no one can enter.
He looked up at the sky, it is not possible to go on like this, not to mention that Prince Kadaishi is going to attack Egypt, His Majesty has not eaten or drunk for several days, how can his body stand it!
"Go, find something to knock the door open." At this time, even at the risk of being beheaded, he had to do it.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened from the inside, and Thutmose, with messy hair and stubble on his face, walked out haggard.
"Jabeti, tell Muyanech and Min to get their troops in order and set out for Jalu in seven days." His voice was sonorous and powerful, not at all like a man who had not eaten or drunk for days and nights.
A week later, Thutmose led the Egyptian army from Thebes to the fortress of Jaru, five hundred miles away.
Located on the border of Syria, the fort was Egypt's largest military fortress at the time and the gateway to the Middle East.
In the tent.
Thutmose sat on his throne and looked at Jabeti and Muyanech standing below, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Your Majesty, according to the report from the spies, we are now our enemies from the south to the north, and there are many of them."
"The situation is really critical."
"Yes, and it is not yet known where they are stationed."
Thutmose and his two most trusted generals were secretly working on countermeasures, a very tricky business that could send Egypt out if they were not careful.
The young pharaoh and the two generals were planning how to defend the territory of Egypt, and in the tent there was a fourth man who was recording the whole process of their planning, this man was not a soldier or a general, but a recorder named Jenneny.
