Chapter 12: The Mystery of the King's Treasure (I)

"Hello everyone, I'm anchor Yuan Jiang, and today I will take you to witness a truth hidden in the fog of history - the mystery of Li Zicheng's cause of death, and of course, the treasure hunt that everyone is looking forward to the most."

"Li Zicheng, the king. Occupation: Leader of the peasant rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty; Achievement: Emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty. ”

"Regarding Li Zicheng's life, I won't describe it here, everyone should know more or less, what we care about here is only his ending."

"In 1644 AD, Li Zicheng broke through Yanjing and established himself as the emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty, and at this moment he can be said to have stood at the peak of his life."

"However, only three days after entering Beijing, Li Zicheng was defeated in the battle with Wu Sangui, and led the remnants to flee from Yanjing in a panic.

"Of course, these sighs of rise and fall are still left to those literati and rioters, and what we and other laypeople are more concerned about is the whereabouts of the treasures that Li Zicheng carried after his escape." Jiang Yuan explained with a smile on his face.

Jiang Yuan was strolling on a trail around the mountain at this time, and he was in a good mood, mainly because of the number of viewers in the live broadcast room.

One hundred and forty-seven people, this is the first time that the audience has exceeded three digits since he started broadcasting.

It's a pity that Jiang Yuan didn't know that except for a few of them, who were attracted by the name of his room, most of them came from Su Ying's small advertisements in other rooms with the permission number.

I have to say that Su Ying is really a conscientious "agent......

[Where are you, anchor, the scenery is so beautiful, and this picture, at least at the Blu-ray level. 】

Soon, some viewers discovered the difference between Jiang Yuan's live broadcast and others.

"This is Jiugong Mountain, one of the five major avenues in the country, and it is also the place where Li Zicheng was rumored to have died in defeat."

Of course, there are also those who are anxious to urge:

[Didn't you say that the live broadcast treasure hunt, what is the anchor hanging around? ] 】

Jiang Yuan was not angry, but explained with a smile: "Of course, today's theme is to find treasures, but this treasure hunt also requires a process, I hope you can be more patient." Then again, if the treasure is easy to find, then why bother to go to work and make money (laughs)? ”

After a reassuring sentence, Jiang Yuan continued:

"If we want to hunt for treasure, we first have to figure out how much the treasure is worth, otherwise, after a long time of hard work to find out, we only dig up a few worthless broken copper and iron, wouldn't it be in vain?"

"However, if it is the relics of the king, there will never be such worries."

"There is a record in the "Ming Ji Beiluo" that the old town treasury has 37 million ingots that are not used for a year, and the ingots are all 50 taels, engraved with the word Yongle, in addition, there are 200,000 gold ingots. It is rumored that all this money was looted by Li Zicheng. ”

"Of course, this statement is complete nonsense, at that time, Emperor Chongzhen was so poor that he even used the golden spittoon as a military salary, how could he still keep so much silver and not move?"

"In fact, the total amount of gold and silver that the peasant army has seized from the palace does not exceed 100,000 taels, which is really pitiful compared to the identity of the lord of the empire."

"However, Li Zicheng made a windfall on the wealthy gentry in Beijing, and his general Liu Zongmin claimed the whole city, estimated to be worth more than 30 million taels of silver."

"With Li Zicheng's retreat to Western Shaanxi, Beihu and other places, this huge wealth was also distributed, consumed, and seized along the way, but when Li Zicheng fell into the end of his rope in Jiugong Mountain, it is believed that the treasure he carried with him was still worth more than two million taels of silver."

"Among them, there are many precious cultural relics such as the Chongzhen Emperor's personal seal, the Yongchang jade seal of the Dashun Dynasty, and the double-headed dragon pattern tiger talisman."

[My God, who can tell me how much two million taels of silver are worth?] How many girls can I buy? 】

A money-obsessed typed question, followed by a long list of drooling expressions.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said:

"Based on the price of silver alone, this wealth is worth 270 million yuan today, but if you count the cultural relics...... That's only worth five hundred dollars plus a pennant. ”

Su Ying in front of the screen laughed happily, but she didn't expect that Yuan Jiang, who looked like Xiaobai, also knew this stalk.

At this time, there were more and more people in the live broadcast room, and some later viewers asked other people, and after learning that the anchor was hunting for treasure in the live broadcast, they raised objections:

[I have also heard the legend of King Chuang's treasure, but until now, even the cause of King Chuang's death is controversial, not to mention the whereabouts of the treasure, and even if Li Zicheng really died in Jiugong Mountain, the treasure is indeed buried here, where do you go to find treasure on such a big mountain? ] 】

"This friend's suspicions are reasonable," Jiang Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he said confidently, "But since I dare to start a live broadcast to hunt for treasures, of course, it is not to amuse everyone, but to grasp the conclusive clues of the treasure." ”

"Everyone, please see."

In the picture, Jiang Yuan's hand stretched out, spread out and held a cowhide scroll, on which there are faint traces of lines outlining the appearance of the three peaks, and on the side of the peak of the mountain on the left in the picture, there is a conspicuous bright red mark.

[Damn, is this a legendary treasure map?] 】

[Mom, I finally saw the living treasure map. 】

[Anchor, your treasure map is too rough, I dare to bet on a pack of spicy strips, the cost of this thing will never exceed a hundred!] 】

Jiang Yuan laughed secretly in his heart, and really let the last one be right, the kraft paper itself was bought by him in the antique market: the antique handicrafts only cost him thirty yuan, and as for the graffiti on it, it was naturally done by Jiang Yuan himself......

However, in the face of the audience's questioning that "I am nervous, I don't know where to pick up a rag, I dare to come to hunt for treasure", Jiang Yuan is still calm.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, after I have introduced the origin of this treasure map, everyone will know where my confidence in treasure hunting comes from."

"This kraft paper was obtained by me from an old gentleman surnamed He, to be precise, this kraft paper was originally hidden in the scroll of a picture scroll handed down from Mr. He's ancestors."

"This painting is nameless, it is a self-portrait of a monk named Fengtianyu, and the ancestor of the He family who handed down this painting is He Luan, the prefect of Lizhou during the Qianlong period."

【Lizhou? My home is in Lizhou, isn't Jiugong Mountain in Beihu Province, how can it be related to our Nanhu Province? 】

"This is going to start with Li Zicheng's death," Jiang Yuan said eloquently, "In history, there are three theories about the cause of Li Zicheng's death. ”

"One is that he hanged himself after the defeat, this kind of rumor is the most unreliable, think about how tenacious and resolute Li Zicheng is, I don't know how many times in history I have come back after defeat, and the Qing Dynasty prince Azig, who was responsible for encircling and suppressing the thieves, has never been able to find Li Zicheng's body."

"The second speculation comes from the history of the Ming Dynasty, which records that Li Zicheng was killed by Cheng Jiubo, a local militia loyal to the Ming Dynasty, in Jiugong Mountain, and there are gold seals and bead crowns as evidence."

"These exhibits were handed over to Tong Dai, the governor of Huguang appointed by the Qing Dynasty, but Tong Dai did not use these things to report for reward, why is this, because when the things arrived in his hands, he found out that the name on the seal letter was Li Yan."

"There is no way to know who Li Yan is, but from the common sense of people's naming at that time, this side should belong to Li Zicheng's sons and nephews, so naturally it can't be Li Zicheng's own."

Jiang Yuan knew who this Li Yan was, but it had nothing to do with the theme of today's live broadcast, so he didn't bother to say anything.

"As for the third theory about Li Zicheng's whereabouts......"
