In addition to Hellis, Stein, Birch and these names, when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, there was also a very loud name called Wadsey, who was the commander-in-chief of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

However, he could not have given it all, and his descendants sold many of them cheaply, and most of them went to France and England, where they were bought by the so-called Heritage Preservation Company, which formed by the descendants of Helis, Stein, and Birch.

Because of this, there are many things in the Old Summer Palace at this auction.

Ma Yuan's "Crossing the Water in the Cave Mountain", "Fishing Alone in the Cold River", Liang Kai's "Snow Landscape Map", "Li Baixing Yin", "Six Ancestors Intercepting Bamboo Map", Li Di's "Red and White Hibiscus Picture", Gu Kaizhi's "Female History Map" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the earliest version of the Paramita Buddhist Sutra, 45 volumes of "Yongle Canon" and oracle bone tablets, Dunhuang Tibetan scriptures, etc.

There are two sides of the jade seal, "Baohe Taihe" and "Yuanmingyuan seal".

Tang Zhangxuan's "Pounding Practice", Song Dynasty facsimile, Song Huizong's "Five-colored Parrot".

Portrait of Emperor Qianlong and Eleven Concubines.

The earliest facsimile of Gu Kaizhi's masterpiece "Luo Shen Futu" in the Jin Dynasty.

Some of these things were sold at high prices by the robbers, some were donated to museums in France and England, and some were collected by themselves.

It's just that I didn't expect that at this auction, there were also some precious things, such as the fragment of the "Yongle Canon". This probably doesn't mean much to foreign devil robbers, so they want to auction this thing directly.

The three families acted together, including the looted and later acquired smuggled goods. I really don't know how many good things there are, if Zhang Tianyuan really missed this auction, then he is afraid that he will regret it very much.

The more he knew about these things, the more Zhang Tianyuan felt that what he was about to do was not shameless at all, and if he didn't give it to you, then I just cheated it back, anyway, I didn't steal or rob. I openly let you into my trap, don't say that my imitation is basically impossible for you to find out the truth, even if you take 10,000 steps back and say that you really know that it is false. It's just that you're blind, not me, and not all the people who buy fake things at international auctions break their front teeth and swallow them. Who was able to succeed in avenging their grievances?

Once this thing is sold. It's hard to say whether it's true or not, and people still say that you want to use fakes to cheat money.

"In fact, the robbery of cultural relics is light, and now many people only know that the Nanjing Massacre was extremely brutal, but they don't know that in fact, when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, it was as cruel and unreasonable, but they had fewer people at that time, so the destructive power caused was not as terrifying as the Japanese army, they were all a group of fucking demons, and they also claimed to be civilized people." Zhang Tianyuan studied archaeology. Naturally, I know more about history, and many people know that the Eight-Nation Alliance burned the Old Summer Palace. But I'm afraid that many people don't know about the killing of the Eight-Nation Alliance, or they automatically ignore it.

During the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, the German, Russian, and French armies killed indiscriminately. Inhumane atrocities such as rape, robbery, and burning.

In the imperial capital, the clergy led by Fan Guoliang issued a "proclamation" allowing Catholics to loot the necessities of life within eight days after the siege of the church was lifted in August, stipulating that those who robbed less than 50 taels of silver did not have to hand it over; If it exceeds 50 taels of silver, it shall be repaid or handed over to the church for disposal.

The French press once published the statement of the returning soldiers: "From the north hall we drove to the palace, and the monks followed us...... They instigated us to slaughter and rob...... We did it for the clergy. We were ordered to do whatever we wanted in the city for three days, killing as we liked, taking as we liked, and actually robbing for eight days. The priests are our guides. When we entered the house, we took whatever we wanted, and we took the shopkeeper as a servant, and the priests carried the stolen things on their backs to the north hall ......."

According to the American writer Mark Brown. Twain's essay was only exposed in the river. In a place in Beirenqiu County, Mei Ziming, an American Christian missionary, killed 680 innocent Chinese peasants under the slogan of "putting people's heads against people's heads."

It is recorded: "On the day the city was broken, foreigners killed countless people; But I heard the sound of gunfire and shelling, the cries of women and children for help, and the corpses on the street. The British recorded: "The imperial capital became a real cemetery, full of dead people, no one to bury them, leaving wild dogs to gnaw on the lying corpses."

The Eight-Nation Coalition insulted and ravaged women, and it is recorded: "The Coalition tried to drive the women they acquired, young and old, to the alleys and make them live in rows and as official prostitutes." The west end of its alley should be blocked to prevent escape. Only leave the east end as the way in and out, so that people can supervise, and let the soldiers of the alliance enter and play, and they will sleep at will. ”

The wife of the university scholar was 90 years old and was insulted to death by the invading army. Many people were unwilling to be insulted and committed suicide with injustice. No. 11 Xila Hutong, where the wine king Yirong lived, said angrily: "How can you be insulted? "The whole family committed suicide by throwing themselves into a well. Empress Tongzhi's father, the wife and daughter of Hubu Shangshu Chongqi, were detained at the Temple of Heaven and were subjected to dozens of people by the Eight-Nation Alliance. raped, and after returning, the whole family committed suicide. Chongqi committed suicide by taking poison.

I am afraid that only people who are familiar with history will know these things, and most children today do not know about them.

When Zhang Tianyuan said this, Liu Mengxun, who didn't have much feeling for the Eight-Nation Alliance, stood up angrily, her eyes were full of hatred, her hands were clenched, and there was an anger that seemed to be difficult to vent.

"Mengmeng, sit down, there's no point in us being half angry here, I just want to think of a way to rectify these descendants of the Eight-Nation Alliance, so that they can also taste the pain of ruining their wealth."

"So far, that's all it can be." Liu Mengxun sighed lightly, this is a peaceful era, the two sides have not broken out into war, natural fighting and killing things can not be done, besides, Zhang Tianyuan is not willing to do that, unless these foreign devils ride on our Chinese heads again to and pee, and once again act as a prestige, at that time even if he is bankrupt, he must keep his homeland.

If the country is broken, the family will die. If the family dies, the person dies, and the luck mentality is meaningless.

"Brother Zhang, why don't you just contact the Jiangyang thieves on the rivers and lakes. stolen all these auction items? "Snake Lin is a soldier, and the method is really simple and rude.

However, this kind of thing is obviously unreliable, this is not a big Hollywood movie, many things are not done like that, if this is really discovered, the situation may become very strict, and Zhang Tianyuan can't trust those Jiangyang thieves. Rather than inviting those people, it is better to train some professionals in this area yourself.

He really dares to do this kind of thing, what would he not dare. Anyway, it is the things of foreign robbers who steal, and this is also a righteous thief, and he does not steal those things that do not belong to him.

"By the way, Brother Zhang, some of the things in this auction are still a lot of good things that have been smuggled abroad in the past 30 years. Alas. The government's management of tomb robberies is too late, and it is a pity that a large number of cultural relics have been lost. Serpentine sighed.

Regarding this matter, Zhang Tianyuan knew that there were many tomb robbers in their village at the beginning, but nothing was stolen, even some copper coins and the like, which were not worth much. I heard that someone in another village dug up the surface of the ground and dug up gold from under the ground. I don't know if it's true.

A qiē is driven by interests, whether it is tomb robbery or smuggling, in order to make money, who cares about the national righteousness, not everyone is like Zhang Tianyuan, the three views are normal.

"Husband, if we buy something this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to selling the stolen goods, which can further boost the arrogance of these people." Liu Meng thought for a moment.

"You're really right, domestic tycoons buy things from foreign auctions, and then push up the prices of these things, which breeds such a market, and it is estimated that in our country, there must be more than billions of RMB auctions from abroad. In fact, many things were originally available in China, but the state does not allow them to be bought and sold, such as bronzes, so there are smugglers who risk smuggling things abroad, and then domestic merchants spend money to buy them, and many of them are even equivalent to national treasures. Zhang Tianyuan sighed and said: "But what can be done about this, can we watch our ancestors' things being ruined by those foreign devils?" ”

You know, if you spend money on buying things, don't you spend money on visits? Those foreign devils put things in the museum in the name of protection, but in fact, they will let you visit for free?

Of course not!

These things can also make money by putting them there, and going to visit them is also a kind of stolen goods.

There are also some things that the gringos don't know about their preciousness if they don't get them back, and they end up being left and disposed of at will, and it would be a pity to destroy them.

Alas, it's always your own thing, and if others don't cherish it, you can't help but cherish it.

Although this is likely to form a vicious circle, the state has cracked down on smuggling very strictly in recent years, although tomb robbery and smuggling still occur frequently, but it is much better than those years.

"It's worthy of studying archaeology, Brother Zhang, you really know these things very well." Serpentine laughed.

"It's not just because of this, let me tell you, I know a big smuggling boss now, this person has a very good background, it is estimated that he can't be moved, he and I are also well water and do not violate river water, but I have rectified him a few times, so that he spent some money in vain, but it is not painful." Zhang Tianyuan's deepest impression of this tomb robbery and smuggling, one is the big smuggling boss Muyi, and the other is the tomb robbery incident that happened in their village, I am afraid that he will never forget it for the rest of his life, that time is extremely dangerous.

"It's the mother, isn't it? As soon as I look at that guy, it's not a good thing. Snake Lin said coldly.

"That's right, it's him, in fact, it's not just him, in our country, the most troublesome thing is the problem of tomb robbery, theft, and thieves, and the things they get don't dare to sell them openly, so they contact the smugglers, and then sell the things at home, or simply get them abroad to sell the stolen goods, don't underestimate this huge chain relationship, this thing can also be regarded as feeding millions of people to eat and dress the problem."

Due to the difficulty of investigation and evidence collection, this kind of thing has always been a headache for the government, and in the past 30 years, even the government has not been able to give an accurate answer to how many things have been lost abroad.

As for the sale of stolen goods, it is even more difficult to say, in the domestic black market, foreign auctions, these people spend money to buy things, do you accept them as stolen goods?

Yes, but it's not, the country has no ability, people get back the lost cultural relics from abroad, and you will deduct the hat of the stolen goods seller? That doesn't seem to be a good fit. (To be continued......)
