Many people like treasures, and the jewels buried in them are priceless. Stories about treasures have been talked about since ancient times. There are three treasures in the history of China, two of which are still mysteries. If we can find them, we will be very rich.
The appearance of the first treasure
The man who found the first treasure was Xiang Yu. After Xiang Yu invaded Xianyang, "Historical Records of Xiang Yu" said: "In a few days, Xiang Yu led the troops to slaughter Xianyang in the west, killing Qin and burning Qin Gong. The fire in March will not go out; The woman receiving the goods is in the east. " After Xiang Yu burned down the palace, he collected a lot of gold and silver treasures.
Where did Xiang Yu transfer the gold and silver treasures collected by Xiang Yu? But it has become an unsolved mystery. After all, no one saw it or recorded it. The biggest possibility is that it was taken away by competitor Liu Bang. Everything is speculation and needs to be confirmed by archaeologists.
The appearance of two treasures
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Li Zicheng moved into the Forbidden City on March 19th. It stands to reason that he should reward the three armed forces and make great contributions. But Li Zicheng "used local materials" and turned the whole Forbidden City upside down. Gold and silver were found in the ouchi vault, which were172,000 and132,000 respectively. Li Zicheng is dissatisfied with money.
At this moment, Liu Zongmin gave Li Zicheng an idea. The treasure in the palace disappeared because it was stolen by the people in the palace. It should be in the palace, and a large-scale "memorial service" will be held. The first person to pay the "dirty money" turned out to be the great eunuch Cao Huachun. At first, it was fifty-two thousand pieces of silver, which made Li Zicheng very happy.
So Li Zicheng said to the civil and military officials, "Donate money to the court according to the size of the official position. One official should have at least 12,000 pieces of silver, and the rest should be donated according to grades. When the front foot has paid enough money, the back foot will be released; If you don't pay the hidden money, you will be severely punished. "
Not only officials have been plundered, but also the rich, the rich and the ordinary people in Beijing have not escaped the fate of being plundered. According to the historical records: "When the thief attacked the city, it was agreed that the inside belonged to the thief (Li Zicheng), the honor belonged to the handsome man, the wealth of the civil servant belonged to the cow (Venus), and the rich man in the Song Dynasty belonged to the thief."
At that time, there was hunger everywhere in the city. According to Ming Bei lue, after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he found "37 million silver ingots, 10 million gold ingots" and "37 million ingots have not been used in Kujin old city for many years, and the ingots are all 520, with the word Yongle engraved".
Li Zicheng cast all the plundered 72 million taels of silver into huge square plates with holes in the middle for easy transportation. Later, when the Qing army entered Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng led the army and fled. Later, Li Zicheng asked his nephew to treasure the gold and silver wealth so that he could make a comeback in the future.
In May of the second year of Shunzhi (1629), Li Zicheng led more than 20 people to climb the mountain at the foot of Jiugong Mountain in Tongcheng, Hubei, only to be killed by local armed forces. After Li Zicheng's death, these treasures became an unsolved mystery, and no one knew where they went.
The appearance of the third treasure
The owner of the last treasure is Hong Xiuquan, leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Hong Xiuquan was able to occupy Jiangnan in a short time, which was inseparable from his strict military discipline. Military discipline at that time. Hong Xiuquan issued a stern edict: "All treasures, silks, treasures and so on. The proceeds from killing demons and seizing cities shall not be kept in private, and all of them shall be handed over to the pilgrimage library, and offenders shall be convicted. "
It is under this system that Hong Xiuquan accumulated a lot of wealth in a short time. On July 27th, the third year of Tongzhi (1864), Hong Xiuquan passed away. Soon, Zeng Guofan's Xiang army turned defeat into victory and regained the initiative in the war. When Xiang army captured Tianwangfu, Zeng Guofan thought he could find the wealth accumulated by Hong Xiuquan.
There is nothing but the magnificent heavenly palace. More speculation is that Zeng Guofan's wife Ouyang Shi got this treasure. Because when Ouyang returned to Hunan from Jiangning, he followed more than 200 ships. Then, Ceng Guoquan also burned down houses, and Tianjin became a sea of fire.
There is no way to find out the secrets of these three treasures. If we want to solve these mysteries, we need archaeologists to solve these unsolved mysteries. History is always so confusing, without conclusive evidence, it is impossible to rely solely on speculation.
