In 200 1 year, a strange thing happened in Lechang City, Guangdong Province: some silver ingots and a gold crown were found by a small ditch outside a temple. The news of finding the treasure immediately attracted many villagers. They tried their best to find it, and finally found almost one hundred ingots.
Looking at these treasures "falling from the sky", the villagers talked about it in succession, and finally came to the conclusion that all these sudden treasures were washed out by the torrential rain for days. As for the deeper origin, they don't know.
Archaeologists who heard the news then identified the baby, and the final result made the whole expert group ecstatic.
It turns out that these silver oxide ingots are engraved with the word "Dashun". Therefore, they speculated that these ingots were probably the treasures secretly buried by Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, when he fled after his defeat.
In A.D. 1644, the desperate Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide in Beijing, which was captured by Li Zicheng rebels, and the once glorious Ming Empire was declared dead.
After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he became emperor for only 149 days, and was defeated by the accompanying Wu Sangui army and Qing soldiers. After the defeat, Wang Chuang led the remaining troops to flee to the southeast.
In order to speed up the pace, Li Zicheng had to bury gold and silver jewelry from Beijing along the way. He hopes to find it in the future so that he can make a comeback in the future.
How many treasures are there? According to rough records, there are about 65.438+0.2 billion silver, more than 65.438+0 million gold, and countless other jewels.
Unfortunately, people are not as good as people, and Li Zicheng has no chance to make a comeback. After he fled to Jiugong Mountain, he lost the news.
Experts explained that all the gold and silver collected by Li Zicheng in those days were remelted into gold ingots and silver ingots with the word "Dashun". These found in Lechang City should be the treasures buried by Li Zicheng when he fled to Lechang Mountain. Of course, these are only one-tenth of the huge treasure.
