Chapter 805: Bloodstained Objects

3,000 years of long years, Songhai Cangtian, touching these utensils and words, closing your eyes seems to be able to touch that long era.

It's a pity that these artifacts have been unearthed for at least dozens of hundreds of years, and the surface has even been touched out of the pulp and cooked pits.

There are more people passing by, and there are too many less aura.

If you take these objects out of the soil yourself, the wonderful feeling will probably be even stronger.

I love that feeling!

"They are all proper national first-class cultural relics, and we still make a lot of money at this price.

Even in the twenties and thirties, these three things could not be taken without a hundred thousand silver dollars......"

The price is not particularly high now, and that is because of the bronze craze 60 years ago, and you must know that before World War II, it was an era of international archaeological fever.

As soon as Hitler and the devils of the dog days came out, the archaeological fever immediately cooled down, and when the Iron Curtain will come and New China is founded, the cultural relics in China will be insulated from the Western world, and the ancient Chinese bronzes will not be fried in the West.

Now that China has been reforming and opening up for more than 10 years, this opening up has led to more flies and mosquitoes, and the smuggling of mutual exchanges has revived, and the resale of Chinese cultural relics has gradually become hotter.

It's not sky-high now, and in another ten years, it will be directly hehe......

Thinking of the age, Zhang Nan felt that these things seemed a little familiar, and he seemed to have seen them in some information "before".

This wrong copper kettle may be the old collection of the Old Summer Palace, and the Yi seems to have been unearthed at the end of the twentieth year......

It may have been unearthed in the Western Qin, and its shape is really peculiar, and it is easy to remember: it seems that a local warlord organized thousands of migrant workers to carry out a large-scale excavation that lasted more than half a year.

It was supposed to be dug up in 28, and then it seems that soon it was a warlord scuffle, and the small warlord was defeated and killed......

Good guy, who is the little warlord who loves to rob tombs and make a fortune Zhang Nan forgot, but who defeated him remembered who was: Song Zheyuan, one of the five tiger generals of the Northwest Army.

It's famous!

"Zheyuan and others belong to the military, and the responsibility is to protect the country. I would rather be a ghost who died in battle than a slave to the country, struggled and sacrificed, and swore the shame of the country. “

Zhang Nan was able to memorize this passage word for word when he was in high school, and the bloody battle was like the peak, and the devil was terrified!

Yes, the broadsword of the Northwest Army is fast enough!

However, Zhang Nan thought of one thing a little earlier than the bloody battle at Xifengkou, which was related to the little warlord who dug the grave: it seems to be some kind of "Second Northern Expedition" or something, it should be August or September 1928, Song Zheyuan's troops conquered Baoji Fengxiang, killed 2,000 of the little warlord's subordinates, and captured 5,000 people.

And then......

Song Zheyuan ordered the killing of all the more than 5,000 captives!

In the late 20s of the 20th century, warlords fought and killed thousands of prisoners at once!

Is it spectacular?

It's spectacular!

Li Yunlong cut a dozen bandits to count as a hair, such a one-time massacre is called a big scene!

But when Zhang Nan thinks of the description of that historical record, as well as the memoirs of those who witnessed it, goosebumps will rise all over his body!

Not only one is a tragic word!

Warlord melee, not against foreign invaders, 5,000 people kill when they say kill!

Among them, 500 captives were beheaded at one time, and only one big-headed soldier was spared, because the old father of the young captive wanted to die with him, and there was a pistol battalion commander surnamed Zhang under him who couldn't stand it, so he interceded for two sentences before leaving this life!

500 people, just this lucky one!

Oh, Song Zheyuan was imprisoned at the scene.

When the 500 prisoners were killed, it is said that Song Zheyuan immediately gathered the officers above the battalion level present and issued an order: "All the prisoners detained by the divisions, brigades, and regiments are ordered to be killed tonight, and not a single one is allowed to be left behind, and not a single one is allowed to be released!"

More than 3,000 of the other 4,500 captives were killed that night.

Although he did not dare to openly resist Song's orders, he had to suggest that the brigade and regiment commanders to keep it a secret and quietly let go of more than 1,000 prisoners in the dead of night, so that those people could live for the rest of their lives.

After conquering Fengxiang, Feng Song Zheyuan also seized nearly 100 large boxes of precious cultural relics stolen and excavated by small warlords, including the big copper tripod of the Zhou Dynasty, the car, cover, bowl, plate, golden foal, Ruyi stone, etc., which were escorted by special personnel to Xi'an.

It is said that most of these precious cultural relics, except for a few that were taken by some generals as their own, were later replaced with weapons and ammunition.

Warlord, huh......

If the warlords could save the strength to kill the Chinese people of the same clan and clan, and keep their strength to deal with the little devils in the future, the War of Resistance would not have to be fought so badly!

This will make Zhang Nan more and more unpleasant the more he looks at him, it seems that he wants to let Nong Bosheng see if there is a problem and whether it was stolen by the little warlord.

The simple way is to find the two experts who are busy in the warehouse, they have the ability to sketch, and at the same time use fax paper and pencil to rub the lines.

After more than an hour, Zhang Nan was roughly restored: it was most likely one of the cultural relics unearthed from Fengxiang.

How did the things of the Shang Dynasty get to the territory of Zhou's old base, which is probably also a trophy;

3,000 years ago, he was a trophy, and 62 years ago, he was a trophy, and now Zhang Nan felt that the wine should not be filled with wine, but blood!

There are a lot of things with blood on their hands, and those brought back from West Germany and the Philippines, which ones are not bloody?

But this time is different, even those in the Philippines are talking about taking back the wealth of the Chinese, but this is completely their own people killing their own people!

Anyway, thinking about it is uncomfortable!

Zhang Nan said what he knew, and Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan were a little difficult to accept.

In the end, it was Xiang Weirong who said: "You won't donate to Baoji or Fengxiang, right?"

"The county chronicle mentioned it, give a hair!"

The other two pieces were put in the study as decorations, and this bird and beast was sent to the underground warehouse, out of sight and out of mind.

Nong Bosheng not only said about the incident, because Zhang Nan mentioned two other bronzes by the way, and Comrade Curator said his name, an American he had met a few years ago.

"Dr. Arthur M. Sackler, a well-known American medical scientist, philanthropist, and art collector, you can know a little bit about the United States, and these three things should be related to him.

This man became famous very early, and there should be a museum named after him in Huasheng-Dun, which has a lot of precious Chinese cultural relics!"

Hearing this, Zhang Nan frowned and said, "Another cultural relics dealer, already dead?"

There was laughter in the receiver of the phone, and Nong Bosheng was heard: "I should have passed away a few years ago."

However, this person had a good relationship with Huaxia, and in the 30s, he vigorously raised funds to support Bethune's work in China to treat anti-Japanese soldiers.

In the 70s, he was also invited by our government to provide consulting services for public health in our country.

This Mr. Sackler loved traditional Chinese culture very much, collected a large number of ancient Chinese cultural relics, and also returned some precious Chinese cultural relics that he had obtained through legal channels, including the emperor's throne.

In addition, he sponsored the construction of three Asian art museums: the Arthur M. Sackler Museum in Washington-Dun District, the Arthur M. Sackler Museum at Harvard University, and the M. Sackler Museum of Archaeology and Art at Beijing University in China.

I had a relationship with him in the '70s, and my qualification was to listen to him on the sidelines, when I first became a curator.

He seems to have told the story of the inscription on the Yi, but he didn't say whether it was all his collections, but he mentioned it when he talked about the early kings of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and I didn't remember the specifics......"

After the phone call, I asked the two experts, and sure enough, there was such a number one person, and he was still famous.

I didn't have the time to do more research, because something had been delivered to the manor: there were quite a few in the vans.

Zhang Nan searched for collections for himself in the United States in the way of plug-ins, and this efficiency began to appear, and the most bullish auction companies did not have the ability to search for cultural relics and artworks by themselves!

This is a car full of furniture, and it can't be said that it is all antique furniture, but it is a piece of fine furniture!

A collector of antique furniture died two years ago, leaving behind a lot of old European furniture. The descendants of the family are not good at this, and they want to sell it for money, but they haven't made up their minds before.

The price is understood, but it has always been a struggle of thought......

As soon as the show was on this show, it was fooled by the experts again, and it was done!

More than 70 pieces, large and small, a full 1.5 million!

On average, a piece is almost 20,000 US dollars, and Zhang Nan came to the pot: What is this for?

Even if you want antique furniture, there are a lot of huanghuali and red sandalwood in the capital, and there are several sets of goods in the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need for such an unbelievable price.

This will be eaten by American experts, Zhang Nan is striding forward on the road of stupid people and more money?

Watching the bodyguards unload the goods, and several large items were used with hand forklifts, Guan Xingquan was also a little puzzled.

"I said Anan, these pieces of furniture don't match the style of your manor, where do you put them?"

Hearing him say this, Zhang Nan said: "I just want to see things, and there is no suitable place inside." ”

At this point, he said loudly to Mark and the others: "Put it all in the second building, you don't need to go into the basement, just put it in the warehouse on the first floor."

Leave that big bookcase behind and carry me to the study on the second floor, where there is still room next to the desk. ”

A large bookcase, even two experts took the initiative to help when transporting, for fear of bumping.

At first glance, it is a pure handmade process, the appearance color is red, and the years do not seem to be particularly much, but it looks at the grade!

The two experts took advantage of the unloading and hand-in-hand work to admire the exquisite craftsmanship of this bookcase!

The top of the bookcase is decorated in original breccia marble from Aleppo, France, and in the center of the bottom is a delicate gilt bronze fairy head.

The two sides of the curly leaf grass gilt copper clad corners, below is a circle of link columnar ornaments, the two sides of the ribbon are decorated with gilded copper Pan god head.

The panels on both sides are decorated with hand-inlaid fine lattice in fine lattice wood, and the two glass doors in the center: original glass, almost 100 years old, with almost no scratches.

The exterior of the glass is trimmed with a brass grid, and the interior has three layers of adjustable liners made of very good material, all of which are very expensive mahogany.

The original keys of the cabinet are there, and the surface of the wooden cabinet is still oily and smooth, and the preservation is first-class!

What is the special significance of that signature?

Yes, that's the name of the carpenter, or rather the signature of a master carpenter: François Link.

This is a French Louis XV style bronze gilt kingwood, basswood and tulip lattice parquet bookcase made by Link, circa 1900.

Among the two carts of furniture brought this time, there are more than 20 pieces of fine products made by Lin Ke: this is the most admired top furniture in France and even the entire Western world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries!

François-Link, a famous master of classical furniture and decorative arts in Paris, France at the turn of the century, is known for his high quality and is a classic representative of post-19th century European furniture manufacturers.

In terms of home furnishing manufacturing, this Link's works have won the gold medals of the World Exhibition Museum in 1900, 1904 and 1908, creating a historical miracle that almost no one in the furniture manufacturing industry in the Western world has been able to surpass.

Many people say that François Link's work is more exquisite than his predecessors, and his design and production techniques emphasize fluidity and naturalness, while at the same time expressing what is intrinsic in art, forming his own unique artistic style and characteristics.

"In the 19th century, European antique furniture was very popular all over the world, and for more than half a century around 1900, represented by this Link, Parisian classical furniture and decorative arts production was the best in the Western world......"

You can't buy and resell, why does Zhang Nan want so much?

Again.

If you want to build a super castle by yourself, will all the furniture in it be newly customized?

You have to have some old furniture and antique furniture, and this Link work is a good choice: searching for high-grade Western antique furniture is one of the tasks of "Treasure Hunt".

In addition to the bookcase, there are a few other items left, which can be used by Zhang Nan.

A two-drawer cabinet, also inspired by Louis XV furniture, with panels in fine inlaid violet and cayenne wood;

Gilt bronze accents are attached to the sides of the front, drawer handles, and four feet, and the top of the chest of drawers is covered with marble slabs, with Link's signature on the top right side of the chest of drawers.

There is also a round table with his signature, the main body of peach-heart wood, sandalwood veneer parquet process finish, and the original glass storage surface on top: this is very distinctive, a table with two layers of panels, Zhang Nan is the first time to see.

Link cleverly used the gilt carving of the four corners of the table top to connect the top and bottom two stacked table tops very naturally.

The gilt carvings of the mermaids on the four corners are extremely delicate, and the laurel branches decorate its head and waistline, symbolizing the purity of the Holy Spirit.

There are gilt handles at both ends of the tabletop, which is easy to carry and move, which is very in line with the dexterous and pleasant shape characteristics of the furniture of the period.

The table circumference is decorated with Link's iconic crab shell pattern, and his signature is engraved on the corner.

The work is gorgeously decorated but does not give people an overly luxurious feeling, Zhang Nan feels that this table looks very comfortable, and has both high practical value and art collection value, which is regarded as the best product.
