"Hurry up and get to work, a yacht of this size is 130 tons, don't forget the 20 tons of Chinese bank gold ingots, add it to me too." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After listening to Zhang Nan's words, Cuenca on the side was still holding a yacht floor plan to calculate the counterweight.

Because of the large amount of gold, this trip was first loaded with 150 tons of gold of the highest purity on a yacht to New York, plus some antiques, silver coins, and some "low-grade goods", and the "Sunshine Star" was basically fully loaded.

The gold is loaded with a quantity, and the antiques need to be carefully chosen: there is no need to pick a silver dollar, a bag is 50 kilograms, and it can be done by moving 100 bags.

The guys were loading the goods in an orderly manner outside, and Zhang Nan and Xiang Weirong walked into the warehouse where the antiques and Buddha statues were placed, and selected the treasures to be transported first.

The last time I came in, I just took a general look, and many of the boxes were not pried open, and they will all be opened.

"Anan, don't you want a Buddha statue?"

"Well, we don't take anything that has anything to do with religion home, and we don't touch anything red, yellow, or green. ”

Xiang Weirong is holding a golden Buddha weighing more than 20 catties in his hand, a Bodhisattva of Theravada Buddhism, and he doesn't know it.

He thought of the second goods that stole the 18-pound Golden Buddha in the first place, and that kid should have been out of the military prison for a few years.

Feeling that life is wonderful, he carefully put the Golden Buddha back into the original box, moved the box away, and picked up the pry bar to deal with the next wooden box.

"Come and see. ”

The wooden box is very special, and I called out my brother-in-law.

Zhang Nan will be like a groundhog, concentrating on rummaging around against the wall on the opposite side of the shelf.

When I heard this, I didn't ask about any special circumstances, and immediately got out of the pile of Buddha statues.

A grenade box.

"It's kind of interesting. ”

There is nothing special about the box, except that there is a seal on the top: the seal of the military police headquarters of the Burmese Front. Japanese, you can understand it if you don't ask Guan Xingquan to come in.

Even if some boxes had seals on the outside, they had already been uncovered, and the level of the units with seals was not so high.

"There are no other similar boxes. ”

Zhang Nan asked, obviously this was the first one.

The two of them moved all the nearby boxes away, and this was the only one with this level of intact seals.

Whatever it's in, pry it open!

The seal of the military police headquarters of the Burmese Front is rare, Zhang Nan didn't tear it up at the beginning, thinking if he could take it off.

Unfortunately, there was too much paste, so I had to cut it into two.

Xiang Weirong got started, but when he pried it open, he found that there was a small suitcase with a small size just embedded inside.

I took out the box, checked it and felt that it was okay, and then opened the leather buckle of the box.

Inside are boxes of different sizes and materials, and the boxes are separated by cotton cloth.

Zhang Nan looked at it and said, "It's a jewelry box." ”

There are about fifteen or sixteen, and there are silver inlaid rubies in a single box, pearls and turquoises inlaid with silver gilt enamel, silver carved dragons and phoenixes inlaid with gemstones, and silver gilt enamel inlaid with garnets......

There are those in the Chinese style and those in the southeast peninsula, and there are those that are obviously in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there are those in the southeast peninsula that cannot be described in any period.

Two of them clearly have the smell of the palace court that was built by the Qing Dynasty Internal Affairs Office: these boxes alone are out-and-out cultural relics.

But......

"There should be something here. ”

Zhang Nan said a word, and casually picked up one of the rectangular silver-gilt enamel garnet jewelry boxes: these boxes are treasures now, but they were not important enough to need a seal from the military police headquarters of the little devil army.

When the box is gorgeous, the enamel on it constitutes an auspicious painting, and when the lock is opened, the inside of the box is a golden flannel, and there is only one piece of jewelry inside!

"Good thing! How can it be in Burma?"

Xiang Weirong said unconsciously.

Golden yellow, the royal color, this box is for royalty, but how can it be in Burma?

Outflow of the Republic of China?

Zhang Nan doesn't think so.

"I think this box has a bit of a taste of the middle of the Qing Dynasty, it should be the color of the palace governor during the Qianlong period, it may be the ...... given by the Qianlong guy to the king of Myanmar after the Qing-Burma War."

This is a history that only people who have studied history know, Zhang Nan knows a lot, seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, and Xiang Weirong also knows this explanation.

The Qing-Burma War was a war fought between the Qing Dynasty and the Gongbang Dynasty of Burma in the late 18th century over control of territory and resources in the border area.

The war began in the winter of 1762 when Burma invaded the Pu'er region of Dian Province in China, and the Qing army counterattacked in self-defense, ending with the signing of an armistice at the end of 1769.

The war lasted seven years, and although the Qing Dynasty achieved nominal submission to Burma, it failed to achieve a real victory in the war, and suffered heavy losses.

Among the Qianlong Emperor's "Ten Perfection Martial Arts", the war against Burma is also the only one with more controversy.

In his later years, Emperor Qianlong once said: "There have been eight wars in more than 50 years, and the conquest of Burma is not considered a success." ”

After the war, the relationship between China and Burma was reintegrated into the tributary system of East Asia: China gained face, and Burma gained benefits.

Xiang Weirong said with a smile after hearing this: "These emperors are really, for the sake of face, they can give anything to these messy small countries." ”

"Face, Chinese habits, it's not the same now.

However, in the past, he was always wronged, and now he can bring more benefits back to the country. ”

Submitting small countries to pay tribute, the emperor of the central power will generally give these small countries several times, or even dozens or hundreds of times the good things, and it is common for the royal jewelry made in the palace to be given to the small royal family.

Inside this silver-gilt enamel garnet jewelry box is a nearly 5 cm wide gold bracelet inlaid with micro-carved tortoiseshell pieces, and the craftsmanship is outrageous!

The bracelet is divided into seven sections, the middle of the ring is inlaid with an oval tortoiseshell micro-carved piece, on both sides are two pieces of drawn gold wire coil welded into the extremely complex coiling dragon, hollowed out;

The three pieces of tortoiseshell are extremely fine, and it took a magnifying glass to understand that the middle piece was "Wen Ji Guihan", and one of the other two pieces should be "Hundred Birds and Phoenix", and the theme of the other piece was not understood.

"It's very interesting, to put together a patch of these two meanings, which I hadn't heard of before. ”

"Who knows what that Qianlong thinks. If you didn't give that guy's wood to the Consulate General, you could still ask this old boy. ”

Muzi, tablet.

Yes, Xiang Weirong will be joking.

Those gold wire pieces are definitely the highest level of craftsmanship in the Qing Dynasty, and needless to say, the process can almost be compared with the Southern Song Dynasty spot welding gold step shake that I gave to Zhang Li, which is several times thicker than the gold wire.

But even so, it is a skill that modern jewelry craftsmen cannot achieve!

This is an out-and-out treasure of Chinese art!
