Chapter 514: The Great Imperial Meeting of the Chinese Empire
……
Time passed quickly, and after a period of sailing, the troops led by An Xuya, the generalissimo of Beihai of the Chinese Empire, arrived at the port of Meijing of the Chinese Empire.
Now that winter has just passed, the port of Meijing in the Chinese Empire seems to be very prosperous, and Chinese merchants from all over the country have transported goods to Meijing by water.
There are live cattle and sheep from Taozhou and Luzhou, and wool and the like are also good things that merchants transported to the capital.
Since the first emperor made wool into wool and exquisite wool, the demand and love for wool in the Chinese Empire has never decreased.
Ordinary people can also buy wool and get a sweater for the whole family after raising half a year's money, so that the winter is not so cold.
And rich families, wealthy aristocrats, they also like sweaters very much.
The sweaters they wear are different from those of ordinary people, and their sweaters are more gorgeous and good-looking.
Moreover, the quality of the wool is also better than that of the people, so the wool supplied to them is also one of the best in the Chinese Empire and even the world.
That's right, it's just one of them, the best wool must be reserved for His Majesty the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire.
Even if the Holy Son of Heaven Gao Yang Yajun repeatedly said that everyone can buy wool, the best thing is that no one dares to really buy it.
Who knows if Gao Yang Yajun is talking about playing or is really willing to let them buy it, or that Gao Yang Yajun is fishing for law enforcement.
They are not sure about this, as bureaucratic aristocrats, they naturally have to control their words and deeds.
They also have to start making up their brains from time to time, and there is always a what if, what if, what they will do.
Their courage is not very big, and at the same time, their courage is not small, it just depends on how Gao Yang Yajun controls them.
The ships in the port of Meijing in the Chinese Empire were not only these, but also some ships from foreign countries, such as the merchant ships of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
For example, the ships of the Khazar Khanate dressed in nomadic costumes, yes, most of the people of the Khazar Khanate knew how to water.
Although they are nomads, they also go to the sea to fish, and who let them have several rivers and a black sea nearby.
In fact, at first, of course, these people in the Khazar Khanate did not know how to fish, but when someone tried it, they suddenly realized that the fish was so delicious.
Therefore, they gradually began to go to the sea to fish, especially the nobles of the Khazar Khanate, and their favorite thing was to eat fish.
The Khazar Khanate is probably one of the most special nomadic peoples, who do not believe in immortality, but in Judaism, and call their country the Kingdom of Judaism.
They are nomads, but in addition to horse archery, they also go to the sea to fish, and they even have a small navy.
Of course, their so-called small scale is actually the real scale, and the navies of other small countries are no different.
For example, the navy of the Kingdom of Bulgaria was about the same size as the navy of the Khazar Khanate.
In addition, the Khazar Khanate has now learned the etiquette and writing of the Chinese people, and it is true that the most primitive writing of the Khazar Khanate has long been abandoned by them.
Their current script is a combination of the Chinese Empire's script and the Jewish script.
When the Khazar Khanate issued its orders, they would issue them in a mixture of Chinese and Jewish scripts.
In terms of surnames and first names, most people have also been Judaized and Chinese, and of course there are people who have names from both cultures.
Even in the official certificate, their names are two names, one Chinese and one Jewish.
Like Ashina Zechariah, Khan of the Khazar Khanate, his name is a purely Jewish name.
And the name of Bran Isaac, the prime minister of the Khazar Khanate, is also a Jewish name.
In fact, most of the Jews of later generations came from the Khazar Khanate, because the Khazar Khanate sheltered the Jews on the one hand.
On the other hand, they themselves were mixed with the Jews for generations, so the Jews of later generations were simply descendants of the Khazar Khanate.
Of course, this is not to say that all Jews and professers of Judaism were in the Khazar Khanate.
The Khazar Khanate was only one of the most powerful of the Jewish states.
In fact, there were also countries in the Ethiopian Empire that believed in Judaism, and they chose to submit to the monarch of the Ethiopian Empire.
But their faith is still Judaism, and they also call themselves Jews, and they are a group of dark-skinned Jews.
It is possible that these Black Uncle Jews were descendants of the Jews who were mixed with the locals when they fled south.
It is also possible that they were not Jews before, but after hundreds of years of Judaism, they assumed that they were Jews.
Who can say which is right and which is wrong, of course, the people of the Khazar Khanate do not identify with the Black Uncle Jews of Ethiopia.
And the Black Uncle Jews also disdained to recognize the Jews of the Northern Khazar Khanate, and they all thought that the other side was a hypocrite.
Unfortunately, the two countries were far apart, and the fact that the two sides were able to know that the existence of the other depended on diplomatic exchanges between the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and Ethiopia.
Even if the Egyptian region was occupied, the people of Ethiopia still had ties to the people of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
This is actually not a surprise, this is a very normal thing, because Egypt's *** did not suppress Egyptian Christians.
They didn't even want to encourage this group of Christians to convert.
Why is this happening, because Egypt implements a poll tax, as long as you are a non-***, then you have to pay more taxes.
These taxes were one-third of the annual income of the Turonic Kingdom of Egypt or the Sultanate of Turon, and how could the Turonic Kingdom be willing to convert them.
Even the *** in Egypt, where Christians make up a third of the population, do not want this group of people to convert.
It can be said that Egypt is all Christian, except for the rulers and some nobles and some of the common people who are ***.
The *** lords of Egypt have never intended to convert these people, and they even prevent these people from converting.
Because these Egyptian Christians are the people who raise these old men, if these people are converted all at once, then the status of Egypt *** will not become a real commoner.
And the port of Meijing of the Chinese Empire also had Egyptian ships, and the people of the Chinese Empire did not know how this group of Egyptians broke through the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
But it's normal, after all, the port of Meijing in the Chinese Empire even has merchants from the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire in Eastern Rome, also had merchants from the Chinese Empire, and even today, merchants from the two countries still interact with each other.
The captives and surrendered troops in the north were also suppressed when they saw this dazzling array of very rich ports of the Chinese Empire.
Of course, they did not come here this time to appreciate the prosperity of the Chinese Empire, they came to receive an education.
Gao Yang Yajun, the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire, specially convened a great court meeting for this purpose, on the one hand, he was ready to take a look at these Norse people.
On the other hand, Gao Yang Yajun also wanted to let these Norse people see the Huaxia Empire.
Therefore, the three Norse monarchs were brought outside the palace of the Chinese Empire to wait for the summons of Gaoyang Yajun.
And the two generals in the north, An Xuya and Zhao Yuanan, as well as the Jinyi Wei who conquered Pomerania, commanded An Xuan, and went to the imperial court to face the saint after the report.
They are here this time not only to represent themselves, but also to the soldiers under their command, and they want to fight for rewards for the soldiers.
