On the first day of the meeting, because Huang Jie did come up with the real thing, it was naturally held very smoothly.

After sending Zong Wang away, Huang Jie also led the envoys of various countries back to the city, and held a feast in the city lord's mansion as a thank-you. During the banquet, in order to thank the countries for their support, Huang Jie simply opened the chrysostom and allowed the countries to use equivalent goods to offset the payment.

When the countries heard that they could use equivalent goods to offset the payment for the goods, they immediately added more than 1 million yuan of arms orders, making this alliance a precedent in the Great Song Dynasty and history, and it suddenly drove an economic value of more than 5 million yuan.

In the end, according to the statistics of the United States, the most arms ordered this time were the envoys from the south and the north of Zhenla, with a total value of more than 1.3 million guan, and Siam, which ranked second, also bought a lot, almost a million guan, but the third place was none other than the Japanese Emperor Toba who secretly went to the Song Dynasty with the envoy group before, and he alone bought nearly 500,000 yuan of weapons and equipment, and what he used to offset the value of the goods was the scarce hard currency silver in the Great Song Dynasty today.

Therefore, on the whole, this "Great Song Dynasty Cutting-edge (Black Technology) Military Equipment Exhibition" is undoubtedly a preliminary success, if tomorrow all countries are meaningless to sign the prisoner of war convention, presumably this grand meeting will become a good story in the future, and it is unknown for centuries to come.

It's just that, looking at the arms orders of various countries, some details are still quite difficult to think about.

First of all, let's talk about why the envoys of the south and north of Zhenla have become big buyers of arms procurement, first of all, the place where this Zhenla country is located is the Cambodia of later generations, and its country is the ancient country of the Indochina Peninsula, which is the name of the Jifu Kingdom of the Indochina Peninsula in ancient Chinese history books, and its country is a subject country of the ancient country of Funan, which is about the sum of Cambodia and Laos in later generations.

Funan, which ruled the region for more than 400 years, was wiped out by Chenla from the Northern Qi to the Sui and Tang dynasties in the Central Plains, and took over the rule for more than 200 years. In the 18th year of the reign of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty (802), the Angkor Dynasty was established by Jayavarman II and Jayavarman VII in the 8th year of the Chunxi reign of Zhao Tuan Chunxi of the Southern Song Dynasty (1181), and the development reached its peak, including the whole of present-day Cambodia, part of Thailand, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam.

Then, at this time, Zhenla, in fact, should be divided into the southern Malay tribal alliance and the northern Angkor Dynasty, that is, the south and north Chenla, and then subdivided, the southern Malay tribal alliance control range covers the Malay Peninsula and even Sumatra and Indonesia, it is also regarded as the remnant of the Charentra dynasty, the Charentra dynasty, also known as the Charentra dynasty, is the 8th ~ 9th century AD Indonesian Mahayana Buddhism dynasty, once controlled the ancient Chenla, and was defeated by the Angkor dynasty.

Therefore, after so many introductions, everyone should know why the envoys of Zhenla from the south and north buy so many arms, right?

That's right, this north-south Chenla is now in full swing in the lands that later belonged to Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and the Malay Peninsula, and judging from the orders for the purchase of arms, the Angkor dynasty in the north clearly has an advantage, because the arms ordered by their envoys are mainly foot armor, divine arm bows, and eight-bull crossbows.

The envoy sent by the Malay tribal alliance in Nanchenla should actually be a mixed-race maritime merchant born to a Song man and a Malay woman, and he is still holding a book of national documents called "Sri Buddha's Death Country" (that is, the Three Buddhas) to pay tribute, although according to the information sent back by the missionaries sent by Huang Jie in his early years, this "Sri Buddha Lost Country" has this country, and its location is about the west of the Malay Peninsula, but the so-called messenger brought the national letter is written in Chinese characters, and its credibility is not mentioned.

In the end, according to the place he identified on the map, the Song court also recognized him as an envoy on behalf of Southern Chenla, and paid tribute together with the envoy of Northern Chenla.

As for how to see that Nan Chenla was at a disadvantage in the war against the Angkor Dynasty, it was also because he mainly purchased armor and sword weapons, and for the expensive iron tire bow, divine arm bow and eight-bull crossbow, the number of purchases was pitiful.

Speaking of Siam, this country is also the future Thailand, as for the use of Siam to buy arms, it is also clear, that is, to fight with Beichenla, the current Angkor Dynasty is in full swing, on the one hand to bully the Malays in the south, on the other hand is also coveting Siam's fertile land and rich local products (not bananas and shemales, of course, but gold and precious stones).

As for the last Japanese Emperor Toba, Huang Jie liked him the most, because the money he paid for the goods was said to be a full 300,000 taels of silver worth 500,000 Guan Song money, and these silvers were still in the Great Song Dynasty!

As mentioned above, Japan today is in the late Heian period, and one of the characteristics of Japanese politics during this period is that the emperor has no real power in his hands, and the power is divided between the Fujiwara clan and the emperor. The Fujiwara clan was a great nobleman who grew up in the Taika reform, and because their ancestors played an important role in the reform, they have been relied on by successive emperors and have continued to intermarry with the imperial family.

By the end of the Tang Dynasty, that is, in the second half of the 9th century AD, the power of the Fujiwara clan was unprecedentedly large, and the emperor was overthrown by the Fujiwara clan.

When Emperor Shirakawa returned, in order to regain power from the Fujiwara clan, Emperor Shirakawa began to implement court politics.

What is "court" politics?

It was the emperor who abdicated at a young age and set up a court in his residence, appointed officials, and formed a backstage government, which could bypass the control of the Fujiwara clan and formulate and implement executive orders. Emperor Shirakawa was only 33 years old when he abdicated, and passed the throne to his eight-year-old son, Emperor Horikawa, while he himself managed the government behind the scenes as Emperor Taishang. After the death of Emperor Horikawa, the five-year-old Sohito ascended the throne and became Emperor Toba, and the power was still controlled by Emperor Shirakawa.

This move succeeded in weakening the power of the Fujiwara clan, but it sowed the seeds of conflict between the emperor and the emperor. In the case of Emperor Toba, he grew up in the shadow of Emperor Shirakawa (technically called "Emperor"). Although he was the emperor, he could not independently push the executive decree, because most of the real power was monopolized by his grandfather's imperial government, and the courtiers did not take him as the emperor in their eyes at all, and he could only hope that when he grew up enough, his grandfather would take the initiative to return power to him.

However, Emperor Toba never waited for that day, and when he was twenty years old (1123, the fifth year of the Northern Song Dynasty's Xuanhe), Emperor Shirakawa made a decision to force Emperor Toba to abdicate and give up the throne to his five-year-old son, Hidehito, who was Emperor Tatsuhito.

Obviously, Emperor Shirakawa realized that Emperor Toba was too old to make sense if he didn't return power to him, so he simply abolished Emperor Toba and set up a younger emperor, so that he could still have power alone.
