Chapter 485: Li Zicheng's Seal
Hu Yang glanced at the seal on the bottom of the seal, and suddenly showed a surprised expression: "It turned out to be Li Zicheng's seal, no wonder it was sealed with a copper seal." ”
Someone in the live broadcast room asked who Li Zicheng was.
Someone immediately replied that Li Zicheng was a rebel in the late Ming Dynasty, and he was one of the few people who succeeded in rebellion.
"The society at the end of the Ming Dynasty was very chaotic, and for the Ming Dynasty, natural and man-made disasters, internal and external troubles, all accounted for it. To be honest, if it weren't for the rebellious peasant army everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, the Qing soldiers might not have been able to defeat the Ming army.
It is undeniable that in the early stage, the Manchurians did not want to die in wars, which was very powerful, but the economic foundation of the Qing Dynasty was too poor, and the money and food were not enough to do the Ming Dynasty, and the population base was also there.
Therefore, if there were no peasant uprisings everywhere, the Ming Dynasty would have dragged the Qing State to death at that time.
Of course, there is no such thing as an if. History is like this, and it is impossible to say that if this assumption is made, the late Ming Dynasty is indeed very bad.
It is not so much that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty, but that it is better to say that this Li Zicheng was destroyed. Hu Yang said to everyone.
At that time, it was he who led the peasant army to break through the capital of the Ming Dynasty first and destroy the Ming Dynasty.
It is a pity that the leader of the peasant army uprising was still a little shallow after all, and was dizzy by the victory, and was not digested in time, and was destroyed by the Qing army.
Compared with other rebels in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng was a more thoughtful one, knowing how to play some rebel slogans, such as the "Juntian system", etc., and also minted money "Yongchang Tongbao" to stabilize prices and facilitate commodity transactions. Protecting agricultural production, reiterating the prohibition of "horses entering the fields and cutting them" and prohibiting the prohibition of sergeants from looting.
Unlike other rebels, with a huge army of peasants, like locusts, they eat up one place and move to another to eat, only knowing how to enjoy, burn, kill and loot.
In Hu Yang's view, those people are very damned, and they can be regarded as basing their happiness on other innocent people.
Let's just say that the famous Zhang Xianzhong, he was also a peasant rebel in the late Ming Dynasty, and his fame was even above Li Zicheng, and he participated in many large-scale civil wars in the late Ming Dynasty.
But how did he do it? After entering Si*chuan, he slaughtered on a large scale, which was no different from slaughtering the city.
Although he also participated in the War of Resistance against the Qing Dynasty in the later period, Hu Yang did not have the slightest affection for this man and would not admit that he had made any contributions.
Just like Cao Cao, maybe he is a powerful politician, a hero, etc., but Hu Yang really doesn't have a good impression of him, and anyone who slaughters the city loses his humanity, and he can't be said to be a human being.
As for the Qing army, the number of slaughtered cities was even more, which was also one of the important reasons why many people did not have a good impression of the Qing Dynasty.
Li Zicheng has the typical advantages of hard-working and creative Chinese peasants, as well as the shortcomings of peasant consciousness, small wealth is peace, and short-sightedness. The former led to his success, and the latter led to his rapid defeat after his success.
After learning this, everyone suddenly realized, no wonder, his seal needs to be sealed.
Indeed, in ancient times, once discovered, the consequences were severe. Therefore, knowing that this is a treasure, no one dares to take it out.
"Isn't that valuable?" Ye Mei asked.
"If you auction it, it's easy to get a few million, and it's not difficult to get tens of millions! This piece of jade itself is a rare and good jade, plus carving, and historical significance. Hu Yang said.
It can only be said that Xu Hong is fast, otherwise this treasure would not have fallen into his hands.
Xu Hong naturally understands this, and if it wasn't for Populus Hu's guidance, he would never have found out that there was a seal in the copper seal, and the benefits of following Populus Hu would come immediately.
Ye Mei felt that she had just rubbed shoulders with a multimillionaire, and she could afford 100,000 yuan now!
If she had been quicker in the front, maybe she wouldn't have to work for the rest of her life, and she could lie down for the rest of her life. Don't say that she feels pity, even Andy and Qi Hongye are also full of regrets!
Hu Yang said to Xu Hong: "Brother Xu, it is best to hand over this seal to the auction house, they are the best at speculation, and only the auction house can speculate its value to the highest." Of course, if you want to collect it yourself, then say something else.
Li Zicheng is a relatively self-disciplined person, and compared to other rebels, he can be regarded as okay, so he doesn't have much left behind, and there is room for appreciation. ”
Unlike Zhang Xianzhong, how much gold, silver, and jewelry alone sank to the bottom of the river? Those are all private wealth that he plundered.
Up to now, everyone has not fully confirmed whether the gold, silver and jewelry that Zhang Xianzhong sank to the bottom of the river have been salvaged.
"I understand, I understand! I won't make a move for the time being, and I'm not in a hurry to use the money. Xu Hongle said happily.
"Let's put it away! Let the family see that it is not very good, although it is said that the money and goods have been cleared, and the other party cannot regret it, but from it to find other treasures, people will inevitably be unhappy. Hu Yang reminded.
Xu Hong is not the kind of person who can't do it, so he hurriedly put the seal away.
When everyone came to the house of the fifth uncle in the villager's mouth, it was very messy, and all kinds of garbage were thrown on the ground, and it seemed that it had been moved.
"Little brother, you are lucky, those people in front of you did not negotiate. The man said to them.
An old man stood in the hall, looking at the group of young people. Just now, this bastard had already told him that Hu Yang and they bought his family's copper seal for 80,000 yuan, and the cabbage was 2,000 yuan.
This is indeed a lot, and his family's treasures, the person just now can only give 20,000 yuan.
In contrast, these people are undoubtedly much fairer. When the old people saw that their homes were so messy, they were embarrassed to invite people to sit down and talk.
In addition, when Populus euphratica entered the village, he also did the people in the village a favor, so the old man also had a good impression of Populus euphratica.
"Welcome, welcome! This is a treasure that has been passed down from my family for generations, you can see if it is suitable or not. The old man spoke.
Everyone looked over, it was a red carving, it was a tree, bearing some fruit, it looked quite good, at least it was in good condition. Even people who don't know how to appreciate antiques can appreciate this carved piece made of unknown materials.
"What kind of carving is this? It's not wood, it's not jade, it's not gold, it's not wood, it's not jade. Qi Hongye asked.
The old man smiled and looked at the poplar, and did not explain, looking at the skills of this young man.
Hu Yang looked at it a few times: "It's made of coral, and the carving is also good." ”
"The lad has a good eye. The old man praised. In fact, he couldn't see any coral or anything like that, but it was handed down from his ancestors, and he said that it was made of coral, which was valuable.
Everyone suddenly remembered: It seems that red coral is very valuable!
"I finally saw the real thing, and it turned out that the coral was like this. Ye Mei said that it was indeed the first time she had seen coral up close, and it was red coral.
