Return of the Mummy

In Egypt, the official position of army recorder is specifically responsible for recruiting soldiers.In the past, not only the old pharaoh didn't like conscription, but ordinary people didn't like enlisting too much.

But it's different now. Since a year ago, those playboys in Upper Egypt who disappeared for a long time suddenly appeared in front of everyone with a brand new look.

They usually make troubles, but they don't destroy the things of the common people. Even if they accidentally damage them, they will compensate according to the price.According to them, bullying these helpless little people is really useless!If you want to find, you must find someone who is capable, and then you will have a sense of accomplishment!

After the introduction of the new decree not long ago, the Egyptian people's curiosity about enlisting in the army has become an interest.Rushing to join the army.

After registering another name, the army secretary thought slowly—who wouldn't want to snatch it?

In the past, Egypt implemented a very simple conscription system.When the war requires, all the states and regions are called together, and adults who can be soldiers are arrested like strong men, and then gathered in one place, waiting for the general to lead the expedition.

After the war was over, those people were sent back to their original places of residence—of course, some people would stay and continue to serve as soldiers.

But in general, the overall quality of soldiers is not high, and they lack the most basic combat methods and skills.When facing the enemy, most of them rushed up with weapons.

Hollenhib wants to use the recruitment system to recruit adult men for military training. When the war requires them, one well-trained soldier can be worth several.

However, this has one of the biggest disadvantages, which is the lack of armaments.

After all, those soldiers are also human beings, and they all have to eat.Whether the country can support such a large number of troops is still a problem.

Hollenhib didn't know how the grain reserves of ancient Egypt were, but from his point of view, since Amenhotep III, Egypt, which has gradually declined, has begun to show defeat in all aspects.

For military rations and supplies, Hollenhib racked his brains and, together with Tutankhamun, came up with a targeted plan based on the current situation in Egypt.

The population balance of ancient Egypt was pretty good. In addition to the great plague a few years ago, the total population of Egypt is now more than 500 million.However, the Egyptian people are too dependent on the Nile River. The yield of wheat in Egypt is not bad, but the planting area is narrow enough.

Just because planting wheat must rely on the flooding of the Nile River to have enough water resources for irrigation, and therefore, almost all the areas where food is grown are by the Nile River.

This will not work.

Although there is not much arable land in Egypt, it can be developed.

In order to solve the problem of water resources, Horunhib handed over this task to the old Saruman.With the help of Holunhib’s memories, the old Saruman improved the existing water pumps and irrigation channels in Egypt—in the past few years, every household with land has started to use them, and maybe this year will have a bumper harvest ?

The number of recruits recruited by Mesha is not too many now, if they are all trained, there is still enough food to support them, and there will be surplus food left over for future wars.

Although the hundred or so playboys have all "graduated", none of them quit Meisha. Instead, they all stayed in Meisha, exercising uninterrupted every day.Seeing that they were so reluctant, Hollenhib organized them into a company, which was similar to "Fiduo", but it was directly under the state.

As a result, those who were accustomed to the usual training began the training of various combat skills specially formulated for them by Hollenhibb.

For example, the raid - there is "interception" in the front, and "chasing soldiers" in the back, trotting and attacking [-] kilometers with almost no rest time in the whole process, and so on.

Those pampered dandies in the past are now all good soldiers with bronze skin and lean physiques. None of them complains of suffering or tiredness-who called Hollen Heeb to stimulate their fighting spirit? Have you trained together?

People, they all have the spirit of not admitting defeat.

The nature of iron was quickly mastered by blacksmiths. Except for making weapons, the remaining iron was used to make farm tools.The appearance of ironware, combined with old Saruman's woodenware, produced many tools.Of course, the most important thing is all kinds of tools for siege and defense.

In addition, other facilities are gradually becoming popular in Egypt.It stands to reason that now should be regarded as a relatively leisurely period, but both Hornhib and Tutankhamun were tense and did not dare to relax.

Holunhib wanted to train the soldiers to adapt to the new weapons, let the soldiers fight in groups, and let the soldiers have the ability to fight against one enemy; while Tutankhamun was because of the court...or the cause of the incident — Harem.

Taiyi is one of the rare women in Egyptian history who was not born in the royal family but became the pharaoh's concubine, and has enough courage to assist the pharaoh in governing the country together.

Apart from other things, this wisdom and bearing are enough to be admired.

Even after the death of her husband, Amenhotep III, she came across as a strong and wise woman.

But what is the saying?One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers?Although it was somewhat inappropriate, her former "sister" and later daughter-in-law, Nefertiti, was not a stupid woman.

Although Nefertiti used to be a Mitanni, her husband Ekhnaton praised her efforts in managing Egypt.

After Ekhnaton's death, she assisted Tutankhamun to control the chaotic situation, and pinned the hope of revitalizing Egypt on the young Tutankhamun who ascended the throne.

However, deep down in her heart, she may not really help this "young pharaoh".

Men are not the only ones who are ambitious.

Perhaps it was because there were two such intelligent and powerful women in the harem, but Tutankhamun was much more relaxed—at least he knew that before these two women fought to the death, he, the Pharaoh, was The object they all want to support.

Therefore, in the past few years since he took the throne, he has been able to boldly do many of what he envisioned, Hollenhib envisioned, and what he thought of later, various reform measures and plan layouts, etc. wait.

He does not deny the wisdom and ability of his grandmother Tai and his queen mother Nefertiti, but sometimes the women in the inner palace are indeed a little bit less knowledgeable—well, who made him always be a well-behaved good girl in their eyes? Where are the children?

Ha, this is what Hollen Heeb said, "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman reaps the benefits", right?Hey, he loves that word!

But this kind of thing can't always exist, no, it caused Tutankhamun's expected headache.

Watching the mummy of the grandmother Taiyi, which was protected by three human-shaped coffins and three outer shells, was buried in the tomb of his grandfather Amenhotep III, Tutankhamun squinted and looked not far away. Nefertiti, whose expression was concealed under her gorgeous makeup, turned her head to look at Anksanna, who was bowing her head and mourning silently. The string in her heart was finally stretched to the extreme.

To Tutankhamun's relief, the period following the burial of the mummy of Grandmother Tai's mother, Nefertiti, did little.Forget it, in the royal family, who isn't plotting against others and being plotted by others?

At any rate, I still have the memories of my previous life, so even if I can't be completely relieved, at least I'm not so suspicious... Just like what Helunxib said, when soldiers come to block, water comes and earth covers it.

After taking a nap, the fragrance of the palm tree came from the window.From the window, Tutankhamun could just see a tall pomegranate tree in the garden, which was full of big red pomegranates.There are also some that are so ripe that the skin bursts directly, like a grinning mouth.

"Go and pick some fresh ones." Tutankhamun ordered the young maid beside him.I don't know if it's because of her age, but the nurse Maya has been feeling a little uncomfortable these days.So he only trusts her in the more important things and has to let her do it, and he would rather let her rest at other times.

Tutankhamun turned over and got out of bed as quickly as a leopard, stepped barefoot on the cold and comfortable floor, and walked to the soft couch not far away.

Sleeping on it was Horenhib.

Hollenhib still held a piece of papyrus in his hand, didn't he forget it even when he was extremely sleepy?Tutankhamun pursed his lips quietly.

Hollenhib has been busy for several weeks because of the reform of the arms.In addition to the original infantry and chariot troops composed of nobles, there were cavalry, heavy and light infantry, siege troops, supply troops, and even engineers.

Because this matter was not a trivial matter, and the consent of the superior had to be obtained, so Tutankhamun kept Horunhib in the palace for a long time on the grounds of convenience.

Well, the dissatisfaction of that Hathor little girl?What's the matter with him?

On the papyrus were drawn squares, triangles, numbers, and strange symbols.Although Tutankhamun couldn't understand it at first, as the days went by, he was able to understand some of Holunhib's writing and drawing.

Maybe it was something unique to his world?

In Tutankhamun's view, although Horunhib did not have a good grasp of Egyptian writing, he seemed to be particularly sensitive to numbers.

Tutankhamun is sure that even if Horunhib is not a general, the priests in the "House of Life" who are responsible for astronomical observation records and mathematics will regard him as a guest of honor, right?

Such an outstanding person is only loyal to himself and belongs only to himself.Whenever he thought of this, Tutankhamun felt his heart agitated.Just like the flood of the Nile River mother, the surging water waves are surging in my heart.

He couldn't help but bent down, leaned closer to the other's fair face, kissed on the long, not dense but very beautiful eyelashes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When Horunhib awoke, Tutankhamun was peeling pomegranates at the table beside him.Probably because he seldom does this kind of thing, he peeled a good, bright and plump pomegranate to a mess, and the pomegranate juice flowed all over his hands.

The good pomegranate was ruined by him just like that.Helenxib sighed secretly, saw the other party's obvious "you come" eyes, stood up resignedly and sat down.

As for the pomegranate ruined by Tutankhamun, Horunhib didn't even want to look at it.Picked another plump pomegranate directly from the plate, and dug out the top and bottom with a close-fitting knife.Gently scratch the pomegranate skin along the longitudinal edges, and finally break it gently with your hands, revealing large chunks of pomegranate seeds.

After digging out the pomegranate seeds with a silver spoon, Hollenhib scooped up a spoonful and prepared to put it in his mouth, but a "robber" opened his mouth halfway and ate it.

"It's so sweet..." Tutankhamun spat out the seeds in his mouth, and looked at Horunhib with a smile, "I've been busy for so long, why don't I go hunting and relax?"

Horunhib leaned lazily on the table, and gave Tutankhamun a funny look: "You mean hunting? Riding a horse? Please forgive me. I will never ride a horse if I can do it for a while. "

Some time ago Hollen Hibb was training cavalry.He specially asked the Ordnance Academy to create iron armor, vests are mainly used for heavy cavalry, saddles, stirrups, spurs, spears, long swords or sabers, bows and arrows and other equipment.

Because the use of iron is not very popular and cavalry is emerging, and the most important thing is the weight of the equipment, Hollenhib spends a lot of time riding on horseback every day to demonstrate or correct.

After a while, the cavalry gradually got used to it and developed the feeling of fighting on horses. Finally, Horunhib no longer had to be in love with horses every day.

He will be away from the horse for a long time, so he must not go hunting or anything!

"Ah, you can't ride a horse? I want to take you to see the construction progress of the pyramid tomorrow." Tutankhamun seemed very regretful.

Holunhib also wanted to take a look at the construction of the pyramids in history, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Maya, Tutankhamun's nanny, walk in.

She crossed her hands in front of her body, with a gentle smile on her face, bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty is well, and Her Majesty Holunhib is well. Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Anksanna is here."

The author has something to say: I knew that the little Pharaoh had no guts, he only dared to steal a kiss when Abu was asleep... By the way, didn’t Xiaogong do it for Xiaoshou by peeling pomegranates?

Little pharaoh, you really still have to learn... By the way, little pharaoh, your next move should not be to spit out seeds, but to lean up and feed and throw them mouth to mouth!

A real warrior, a ginseng who dares to face the tragedy, dares to kiss the favorite Xiaoshou with his tongue!
