Chapter 284: The Ancient Battlefield of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period
Before, Zhang Nan felt that this strong boss was okay, he was atmospheric and cheerful, and he had dealt with him many times before. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this person is very polite to the driver and salesman, and he will be a little kind of heart during the New Year's holiday, and it is estimated that he will be more concerned about the gold owner.
However, as long as Zhang Nan thinks of this thing, he will not think that he will give this gift because the New Year is coming, and he wants to give himself some susurrels or something.
I don't lack that little souvenir, even if I want to send it, I don't need to go to my brother-in-law first, just send it directly: everyone in Yan County knows that Zhang Nan never lets old acquaintances eat behind closed doors.
"Brother-in-law, is he going to give me an antique? ”
"I guess it's not just the things he fished out of the battlefield, he said that in Yuyao and Cixi, he also let people collect a few gadgets, and I guess there are porcelain. ”
Porcelain, it is unlikely to be blue and white in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and this is not in the capital.
Many construction sites in those two places are Cao Qiang's supply: he and Wang Debiao were familiar with each other before, and perhaps he knew that Wang Debiao liked antiques, so the boss would come to his liking.
What are there in Yuyao and Cixi?
Of course, it's the best kiln!
Shanglin Lake is in Yuyao, which belongs to Huiji Mansion, in the northeast of Yan County, and it is reached by turning over a Siming Mountain: before being reborn, I knew that the top Yue kiln porcelain was often unearthed there, and it is said that even the "secret color porcelain" level is available!
As for the question of what can be fished out of the Yanxi sand field, there is something special about it.
Even historians and archaeologists don't know that Zhang Nan figured it out by himself by chance.
This has to start with the most ordinary sand.
There are two kinds of yellow sand produced in Yan County: one is powdery fine sand, and many of the river beach sands on both sides of the river on the side of the Three Realms are this kind of sand, and people can directly shovel it up and load it on the car, without screening at all.
However, this fine sand can also be used to smear the "leftover material project" of the exterior wall, and there is a small amount of fine soil in it, and the compressive index is not good, and the price is also cheap.
There is also a kind of high-quality coarse sand with uniform particles and not too big or small - basically it is sucked up from the bottom of the river by a sand pump, or the sand dredging boat is dug out of the river and transported to the shore after screening, which is also high.
There are a lot of stones and sand in the river, and if you don't rely on the quantity, it is worthless. At most, some stones will be counted as jade in the future: there is the top yellow wax stone in Yanxi, that is, the jade called "Huanglong jade" 20 years later.
Before being reborn, Zhang Nan also played with Yellow Wax Stone, and also made some follow-up money.
But now no one cares about this kind of yellow wax stone, and no one wants it even if the best goods are dug up in the river: the crusher crushes it and sells it as a stone.
It is impossible for that boss to give himself a few pieces of high-quality "Huanglong Jade", and people nowadays have no such concept at all: it will definitely be an antique! Because just under the Yanxi River near the Three Realms, there are a large number of treasures buried whose origins are unclear in the eyes of ordinary people!
A large number of bronze weapons from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!
I heard a long time ago that someone had picked up bronze weapons from the river, and some of them were very well preserved. Since the appearance of mechanized sand dredging boats in Yanxi in the 80s, some bronze swords, spears, and gee weapons will be found every year, and there are many bronze arrowheads.
But no one would have studied why so many bronze weapons came out of an ordinary river that ran through the middle of the basin.
But Zhang Nan really studied this matter because of a coincidence: 20 years later, a friend of his was fishing by the Yan River, and the fish was not caught, but he picked up a bronze bean with the characteristics of the Chu State during the Warring States Period that was trapped in the sand and gravel!
The whole device has an inscription of more than 20 words, plus a dragon pattern on the whole body, which is extremely exquisite!
Historical records record that Yan County was only established in the Qin and Han dynasties, and there was not even a county seat during the Warring States Period.
Zhang Nan and his friends were very curious about this problem, and as a result, they met Zhang Nan, who loves to specialize, so they combined the matter of bronze weapons that often come out of the water in Yanxi.
The result is a big discovery!
Zhang Nan searched on the Internet, and at first he couldn't find any clues from the historical records, but when he opened the map of the Chinese vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he understood!
The Shengxin Basin, where Yan County is located, is located in the eastward part of the north-central part of Jiangnan Province, spanning Yan County and Xinchang, and is a relatively complete basin - the basin is slightly triangular, with two boundaries in the northwest and northeast each about 30 kilometers long, and a transverse length of more than 40 kilometers.
The basin edge is about 70 or 80 meters above sea level, and it is surrounded by a circle of high mountains with an altitude of 7800 to more than 1,000 meters: the Yanxi River originates here, and several major tributaries converge near the county seat of Yanxian County, and then go all the way to the north, flowing out of the basin in the line of Xianyan Town and Sanjie Town.
On both sides of the river channel of more than 10 kilometers on the north side of the basin, except for the short river beach, almost all of them are towering mountains!
Such a terrain also restricts the traffic between Yan County and Xinchang, this person has a bit of "basin awareness", and it is this kind of geographical environment, if changed in ancient times, it can be regarded as an excellent defensive terrain!
As soon as he opened the map of the late Spring and Autumn Period, Zhang Nan suddenly found that the southeastern border of Goujian's Yue State was near the Shengxin Basin, and the south side was the Dongou State whose relations with Yue were definitely not much better!
Combined with the written historical materials, it was found that in 306 BC, the king of Yue Wujiang went north to attack Qi, but he listened to the mistake of the lobbyist surnamed Xintian and led the army to turn around and attack Chu.
Unexpectedly, he was ambushed and died!
As a result, the Yue kingdom fell apart, and the sons of various ethnic groups competed for power, some claiming the title of king, some claiming the title of king, and living along the coast of the southern part of the Yangtze River: Dongyue, Minyue and Yue were all countries built by their descendants.
The old land of Yue was later annexed by the Chu State, and from the map of the Warring States Period, the Shengxin Basin became the border line of the Dongyue State founded by the descendants of Tonggou Jian in the southeast of Chu State!
In the middle of the basin is a river that is not too small, with plains on both sides for more than ten kilometers, and further away are high mountains.
Perhaps more than 2,000 years ago, in the land of Yan County, which had not yet been established as a county, at least in the historical materials, there were countless wars between the Yue State and the Dongou State, and the Chu State and the Dongyue Kingdom!
So why do weapons appear in large numbers in the river?
Because not to mention more than 2,000 years ago, even if the mountains around the Shengxin Basin are now high and densely forested, the guerrillas of this generation during the Anti-Japanese War gave the devils a great headache -- the climate for more than 2,000 years was much warmer and wetter than today, and even the armies of the Yue State, Dongou State, and Chu State, which were accustomed to mountain warfare, would not let go of the more than 1,000 square kilometers of basin plains that could be put on the scene, but instead spent themselves fighting guerrillas in the old forests.
The section of the river in the Three Realms is flanked by mountains, which is convenient for both sides to raid, and it is more convenient to destroy the central basin with a fortress on the two mountains and a central basin that can be seen for ten kilometers.
In ancient times, there were no glasses, but with the naked eye, it was not a big problem to see the movement of an army of more than 1,000 people more than a dozen kilometers away in good weather -- just like Zhang Nan's hanging villa, you can overlook the scenery from the terrace.
Moreover, for more than 2,000 years, this river should have undergone river diversion, only the main river channel in the northern section cannot be changed: the mountains on both sides are sandwiched, and you can't get out of the basin without coming out of here.
There may have been countless battles on both sides of the river, but the possibility of a diversion of the upper reaches of the river makes it very unlikely that bronze weapons would appear.
At that time, the battle was able to be turned in the middle of the basin without suffering losses on both sides, and the sneak attack could go downstream -- such a good terrain was definitely the best place for the generals at that time to display their command skills.
In fact, only 72 countries disappeared in the hundreds of years of conquest in the Spring and Autumn Period, and during the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qi, the State of Chu and the Kingdom of Jin alone killed at least 130 countries!
The names of many countries have disappeared into history, and many times later generations only know from the unearthed bronze inscriptions: it turns out that there was such a country 2,500 years ago.
Countries can disappear from history, not to mention the countless wars that have taken place during this period.
China has a long history, so long that too many things have disappeared like this...
In the end, Zhang Nan told his friends: Maybe this bronze bean was left by the Chu royal family at that time, maybe it was owned by a general who led the army, or it may be a sacrificial ritual vessel given by the Chu State to the army stationed here, and it may not be necessary that the Chu State had set up a certain level of administrative organization in Yan County at that time...
Anything is possible, who knows!
However, Zhang Nan knows one thing: the origin of the bronze bean must not be known to the Cultural Management Committee, otherwise a "cultural relic with important research value that may change the history of Yan County" is definitely not something that you can keep as an ordinary person!
the boss is going to give himself a gift, it shouldn't be a tattered bronze sword, otherwise the other party will be embarrassed to take it out.
It is said that a bronze sword in an average state of preservation is sold for twenty or thirty yuan in the battlefield, and he is embarrassed to take it out by the boss?
Zhang Nan was a little looking forward to it.
"Brother-in-law, if you're free tomorrow, we'll just go the boss. ”
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the bronze weapon casting skills of the Yue Kingdom were the best in the world, and I don't know what kind of goods will be in the hands of the boss on this trip!
