Therefore, Toba's situation became very embarrassing, after the abdication, he changed from "emperor" to "emperor", but there was still an old immortal "emperor" on the top of his head, and he was sandwiched between "emperor king" and "emperor", neither real power, nor even fame, so he felt very jealous of Emperor Shirakawa and Emperor Chongtoku.

There is even a rumor among Japanese folklore that Emperor Toba hated Emperor Shotoku: although Emperor Shotoku was nominally the eldest son of Emperor Toba, he was actually the illegitimate son of Emperor Shirakawa and Emperor Toba's Nakanomiya (Empress), and Emperor Toba was cuckolded by his grandfather.

Therefore, by chance, Emperor Toba was in the first year of the main road, and secretly came to the Great Song Dynasty with the viewing group that went to the Great Song Dynasty to observe the ceremony of Zhao Huan Taishan and sealed the Zen, and has been dormant in the Great Song Dynasty for the past two years, planning something, and now looking at him in one go, it is not difficult to guess what he wants to do.

Looking at the order that stated that he had ordered a full 5,000 sets of infantry armor and corresponding weapons, as well as 1,000 divine arm bows and 4,000 iron tire bows and 500,000 arrows, Huang Jie guessed with his toes what he was going to do, not just to regain the throne or capture an imperial city, maybe he was also going to dismantle the Fujiwara clan's regents.

Therefore, at the banquet in the city lord's mansion, Huang Jie took a nap for more than an hour while drinking, and then ordered someone to invite Toba who went to Liaodong in person to the study before and after the third watch, and the purpose of inviting him over was simple.

Attracted Toba to take a look, but it can also be seen that he is also very young, and he looks only twenty-five or sixteen years old (Toba was born in the second year of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, in 1103, just twenty-seven years old at this time), the root system of the beard under the lips is still shallow, and the face is immature, and it is not at all obvious that he is a person who is bold enough to buy hundreds of thousands of weapons to make his own grandfather.

Because he should be the Emperor Toba at this time, but he, the emperor, was not recognized by the Great Song Dynasty at all, so after Huang Jie weighed it, he also called him Zongren by his name.

After seeing Huang Jie leading him into the seat, he said bluntly: "Summoning Zongren to see him late at night, it is really that this king has a few things to understand, and I hope Zongren will solve his doubts for this king!" ”

When Toba heard this, he sat down tremblingly, bowed his hand and said, "The disciple would like to hear the details!" ”

Toba called himself a disciple of Huang Jie, because he had studied the culture and etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty in the Imperial Court of the Kingdom of China when he was in Tokyo, but he was very interested in miscellaneous studies, so he studied the minutes of Huang Jie's pear garden puja at the beginning, and admired Huang Jie's mechanical theory at the puja and the map of the Eastern Regions drawn on the spot, so after coming to Liaodong this time, he called himself a disciple when he met.

In this regard, Huang Jie did not stop it, so he naturally accepted it gladly, and listened to him: "At today's meeting, what is Zongren's intention to buy so many armor weapons?" ”

Hearing Huang Jie ask directly, Toba's body shook suddenly, and he saw that his eyes turned red instantly, and said, "The matter of the disciple in the country, I think Mr. Lai must have heard of it." The ancestors of the family ruled the country with the court, and the people who had eyes in the country called it unrighteous and unkind. The disciple is not talented, and he can't bear to see the lives of the people in the country ruined and everything is depressed, so he is determined to fight to the death! ”

Although his body trembled slightly when he heard Toba speak, he was expected to be extremely firm, and Huang Jie was also interested. You must know that this "unreasonable" and "unkind" evaluation is not something that can be messed up, especially in terms of the identity of grandchildren between Toba and Shirakawa.

Regarding Huang Jie's questions, Toba did not hide it, so he told Huang Jie about the so-called "unreasonable" and "unkind" things of Baihe.

In fact, during the Shirakawa period, although he opened the imperial government system, he gradually regained the power that had fallen from the imperial family in the middle of the Heian period. However, the creation of the imperial hall continued to intensify the contradictions between the old and new aristocracy, and eventually led to the rise of the two major samurai groups of Taira and Gen, which were also the initiators of the political chaos in the late Heian period.

However, what Bai He did at this time, seriously speaking, was to constantly raise the status of the new aristocratic class, elevate the social status of the samurai and samurai groups, and expand their living space, so as to squeeze the living space of the old-style gate valve aristocracy.

In the end, the news I heard from Toba's mouth was not as much as the strange dream called "Ping Qingsheng" that Huang Jie had seen in his dream.

Of course, anything unreasonable and unkind is just an excuse in Huang Jie's opinion, since now Toba is determined to engage his grandfather, and his behavior of doing things with his grandfather, if it is done properly, may bring huge benefits to the Great Song Dynasty, so Huang Jie naturally can't let him go free, of course, he has to intervene in it.

After careful inquiry, it was finally taken out of Toba's mouth that the reason why he purchased so many weapons and equipment was because after two years of operation, he had gathered almost 3,000 Japanese samurai in the Great Song Dynasty, all of whom were originally loyal to Toba-in (Toba-in was the power organ when Toba was in power, and he was disbanded after being ousted by Shirakawa).

In addition, in Japan, it is said that there are still a few daimyo (that is, gate lord nobles) who are willing to join forces to help, and the total number of troops is expected to be about 30,000, so they boldly bought equipment for 5,000 people.

I heard that Toba bought 5,000 sets of armor and 5,000 bows and crossbows to equip 30,000 people, Huang Jie was stunned, and then when he asked, he found out that Toba, this kid, is also very good at careful calculation, it turns out that he sees that Da Song's whole body armor is good, and the armor on the chest, back, shoulders and thighs can be pieced together and then cut into three sets of vest armor that only covers the front chest and back, so he is going to take it and cut it into three sets to use.
