Chapter 239: A Reason


"It is rumored that the first person to get Zhang Xianzhong's treasure was Yang Zhan's general in the Battle of Jiangkou.This battle almost wiped out Zhang Xianzhong's entire army and ended in a great victory for Yang Zhan. ”Yang Kun said, "Based on this, later generations suspect that Zhang Xianzhong's Jiangkou Shenyin was obtained by Yang Zhan.According to the records of the Qing Dynasty Philip in the Desert Book, Yang Zhan did not know what was hidden in the shipwreck at first."

Later, a fisherman salvaged it, and tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver belonged to Yang Zhan."

According to Yang Kun, the Qing Dynasty Shen Xunwei's historical book Shu is difficult to recount, when Zhang Xianzhong was defeated in the battle of Jiangkou and burned the boat, a surviving boatman defected to Yang Zhan and told the truth.Yang Zhan then ordered his subordinates to use it in the river to salvage according to the characteristics of the wooden cylinder, and once the wooden cylinder was found, he nailed it and dragged it out to get this batch of treasures.Yang Zhan is a native of Leshan, Shudi, in the whole Bashu due to the war and famine is serious, only Leshan is rich and stable, and the people of the time also said "Shu is relied on" when praising Yang Zhan.Therefore, later generations speculated that Yang Zhan did this by relying on the salvaged flying windfall.What can make future generations suspect is that even if Yang Zhan gets Zhang Xianzhong's treasure, it can't be all.Because Yang Zhan also died in battle two years after Zhang Xianzhong's death, how could he finish Zhang Xianzhong's tens of millions of taels of gold and silver in just two years, the key is that there is no historical record that anyone got a lot of treasures from Yang Zhan's mansion and military camp.According to the records of the Shu disaster, after Zhang Xianzhong's gold and silver treasures in more than 1,000 wooden boats sank into the waters of the Pengshan River estuary, "hundreds of millions of ships were loaded", and those sunken ships full of gold, silver and jewelry blocked the riverway, the water was diverted, and the water flooded the ridges.According to this record, there have been similar treasure digging incidents in Pengshan County as Chengdu's "Jinjiang Silver Rush", but the gold and silver found by the treasure hunters who went to succeed were only sporadic and very few.So where did Zhang Xianzhong's gold and silver treasures go?

Pengshan County Chronicles: In the winter of the 59th year of Qianlong, the fisherman obtained a scabbard in the Jiangkou River, reported it to the governor Sun Shiyi, and sent personnel to the Jiangkou to salvage for several days, and obtained 10,000 taels of silver and jewelry, jade and other things.In fact, shortly after the sinking of Zhang Xianzhong's fleet, the Qing Dynasty organized a large-scale salvage operation, and some of the sunken silver was salvaged to enrich the treasury.However, according to the research of later generations, these gold and silver salvaged by the Qing court were only a very small part of Zhang Xianzhong's treasure.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Taiping Rebellion broke out, and in order to solve the financial difficulties of the imperial court, the Qing Han Forestry Academy edited Chen Taichu's old story and revisited it, petitioning to find this treasure, and said that he had seen the residents of Pengshan, Meishan and other places get the abandoned silver.The overstretched Emperor Xianfeng then ordered the Chengdu general Yurui to "carefully investigate, try to dig up, and prepare at his discretion", but in the end he found nothing."

What you said is that all the people and forces of the Ming and Qing dynasties are looking for treasures, but they haven't found them for hundreds of years, which doesn't mean anything to us."

Li Ling interjected when he heard this, "What we have to do now is to find three treasure maps, what does this have to do with what you said about these historical facts of looking at the moon in the water in the fog?"

"Of course it has something to do with it, because Zhang Xianzhong did hide that huge treasure in one place." ”Yang Kun replied, "The various forces of the Ming and Qing dynasties searched for treasures, often according to some historical records and rumors, and naturally returned in vain."

Because before Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty, although it was rumored that Zhang Xianzhong's treasure had a treasure map, no one had ever found it.But after Emperor Xianfeng ascended the throne, it began to spread on the rivers and lakes that the Qing Dynasty had found a treasure map, but at that time, all parties in the rivers and lakes naturally did not dare to oppose the Manchu Dynasty and go to Da Nei to steal the treasure map.It's just that although the Qing court got the treasure map, they still didn't find the treasure, which made the treasure hunters in the world unbelievable."

It stands to reason that the Qing court has a treasure map, and with the strength of a dynasty, they can definitely find the treasure, so it began to circulate on the rivers and lakes that the treasure map found by the Qing Dynasty is fake."

It should be the seventh year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, and there was an incident in the Forbidden City that was not recorded in the history books, and this incident involved our Yang family and Liu family."

At that moment, we knew that Zhang Xianzhong's treasure did have a treasure map, and there were three of them."

And the reason why the Qing Dynasty failed to find the treasure according to the treasure map was because they only found two, and they never found the third treasure map, which was a failure."

Li Ling bowed slightly, according to what the third senior brother said, at that time, Liu Ji warned his descendants that he must prevent the Manchu Dynasty from finding Zhang Xianzhong's hidden treasure.Because if the Qing court finds this treasure, the Qing Dynasty's national glory may continue for another two hundred years, so that the Han people will have to wait until the 21st century to recover the rivers and mountains.And the descendants of the Liu family did not live up to expectations, they found a treasure map.Although the Qing Dynasty found two, it had been missing the third one in the hands of the Liu family, so the Manchu Dynasty's great cause to find Zhang Xianzhong's treasure ultimately failed."

The Qing Dynasty ruled Tongzhi for seven years, which should be 1868."

Li Ling calculated a little and said, "What happened in the Forbidden City, what does it have to do with your Yang family and the Liu family" Yang Kun gave Li Ling a thumbs up: "I said that in the seventh year of Tongzhi, Master Li can convert the year of the Common Era, Master Li is really a master" "What's the meaning of patting this sycophant" Li Ling smiled bitterly, "My great-grandfather came to the United States to pan for gold during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and I remember those years more clearly.""

At that time, the western United States was in the golden era of wilderness, and after the Qing Dynasty went through two opium wars, the Westernization movement was also in full swing.Yang Kun nodded and said: "Let me briefly talk about the origin of this matter, Emperor Daoguang of the Great Qing Dynasty has a total of nine sons, but in the later years of Emperor Daoguang, there are not many options for him to be the successor of the prince."

At that time, the two most suitable and fiercely competitive princes were the fourth son of the emperor and the sixth son of the emperor.We all know that the last successor to the throne was the fourth son of the emperor, Yixu, that is, Emperor Xianfeng.However, no matter the historical records, or the folk history, the government and the opposition in the world, the sixth son of the emperor, Yixun, is the most suitable candidate for the monarch."

It's just because the sixth son of the emperor is Wen Tao Wuluo, has both ability and political integrity, and is famous, but the fourth son of the emperor is mediocre in qualifications and has no outstandingness.But history will not be transferred by the will of the people, and the fourth son of the mediocre emperor, Yi Su, became the new emperor, and ascended the throne in 181, that is, Emperor Xianfeng."

No matter what kind of mentality Prince Gong had at that time, in short, this is one of the reasons why the Qing Dynasty never found Zhang Xianzhong's treasure map
