Chapter 398: Lake Baikal (2)

Xiao Jiu coughed lightly, "This treasure map involves a 500-ton gold treasure!" And this treasure is not groundless, it is supported by real historical records. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe location is right on Lake Baikal! ”

"Baikal? 500 tons of gold treasure? ”

My brow furrowed slightly, Baikal, I believe no one will be unfamiliar with, is the famous scenic area of the South Siberian region. However, it is estimated that few people know that this Baikal Lake was one of the four seas of our country in ancient times, the North Sea. The story of Su Wu's sheep shepherd, which we are familiar with, happened in that place. After thinking about it carefully, I didn't think that there would be any legendary relics near Beihai, could it be the site of the royal tomb destroyed by the Xiongnu royal court when it fled north?

Probably seeing my thoughts, Xiao Jiu said: "This treasure is not a monument buried for thousands of years, and it is not too young to say now." At that time in 1917, it was the time of the First World War, and the Tsarist army at that time was not very strong in combat, and often suffered defeat in battles with the De-P coalition army. Affected by the war, the domestic economy was in disarray. ”

Sanzang touched his head, "Could this so-called treasure be a military quartermaster?" ”

Xiao Jiu nodded, "Yes, but it's not used in the First World War!" At that time, there were two opposing forces in Tsarist Russia that wanted to overthrow the Tsar's feudal rule. The momentum grew stronger, which is what we call the February Revolution.

Tsar Nicholas II urgently mobilized the army to suppress it, but unexpectedly, the army also rebelled on the side of the revolution, and two tsars in Tsarist Russia abdicated one after another, so that the outcome of the revolution was a foregone conclusion.

The February Revolution was victorious, but there were two regimes in the country, one bourgeois and the other Soviet. The common enemy, the Tsarist regime, fell, and naturally it was the turn of the two sides to fight, and the October Revolution took place.

The results of this revolution are not to mention that you all know, but if you want to talk about treasures, you must mainly pay attention to the whereabouts of the Tsar. Originally, when the bourgeoisie was in power, this Nicholas II remained in his palace until the end of the October Revolution, when he was transferred to Yekaterinburg.

At this time, there were still a group of royalists loyal to Tsarist Russia who were active abroad, and although they were surrounded and suppressed by the Red Guards of the new regime, life was very difficult, but they still wanted to rescue the Tsar and make a comeback. Unfortunately, until the Tsar's family was executed, the royalists were not able to rescue them.

Here we are talking about the 500 tons of gold, which was supposed to be saved by the Tsar during his reign for emergency purposes, and was in the hands of Kolchak, the leader of the royalist party.

Money is moving, not to mention such a large sum, it is a big help in every aspect, and there are countless people who want to get this money. However, this Kolchak still had two brushes, so he united some old forces to form the White Army, and held out under the Red Guards for a long time.

In the end, it was also because of internal contradictions that the defeat was completely formed. In order to preserve the last of his strength, in November 1919, Kolchak gathered the remnants of his army and planned to make a long march, all the way through Siberia to Vladivostok in the southeast to seek help.

Troops, military families, and civilians, a force of about 1.2 million people embarked on the journey. The crucial 500 tons of gold were in the run.

Due to cold, fatigue and other reasons, by the time the team reached the vicinity of Lake Baikal after many hardships, there were only 250,000 men left in the mighty army. In order to get there as soon as possible, they did not choose a detour, but chose to cross Lake Baikal directly.

The point is here, not long after these people stepped on the frozen lake, they all froze into 250,000 ice sculptures in an instant, and they froze on the surface of the lake. ”

Sanzang shivered involuntarily, hugged himself and touched the goosebumps on his arm, and couldn't help but interrupt Xiao Jiu's narration, "Oh my God, how cold does this have to be!" It's not an ant or a human, 250,000 people froze to death all at once? ”

I was also shocked by the history that Xiao Jiu told, and my eyes were on Xiao Jiu's face, and I saw that he nodded very seriously, "Although I also have some doubts, I have checked countless materials, and it seems that this is indeed the case."

For about a month or so, the weather was much warmer, and the Red Guards, who had been chasing behind, caught up. Some of the people who were present at the time left diaries recording the shocking scene they saw with their own eyes at that time. 250,000 human-shaped ice sculptures, along with their belongings, sank to the bottom of Lake Baikal. Naturally, including the 500 tons of gold. ”

The atmosphere in the room was very strange for a moment, or did Sanzang open his mouth to break the silence, "Sinking to the bottom of the lake in front of everyone's eyes?" No wonder you said earlier that this treasure is not a secret! And who drew this treasure map? Can it be of substantial help to our treasure hunt? ”

Hearing Sanzang ask, the heavy look on Xiao Jiu's face no longer existed, and was replaced by a burst of excitement, "Of course it's useful!" There are many people who have seen this gold sink to the bottom of the lake, but this news is actually circulating among a few people and the regime, and it has not reached the point where everyone knows about it! ”

Sanzang and I nodded and acknowledged his words, just like the two of us, we had never known about this history before.

Xiao Jiu then spoke: "These people who have the news don't want to keep it for themselves. But from 1919 to the present, how many years have passed, and no person or organization has ever really seen the whereabouts of this gold! Not to mention salvage!

In recent years, the salvage technology has been continuously improved, but not even a shadow has been seen, and the 500 tons of gold, together with the 250,000 corpses, seem to have disappeared mysteriously!

In fact, at that time, Kolchak was not frozen to death on the lake, because he walked at the end of the line and was responsible for breaking behind! Because of this, he was lucky to escape this fate.

However, what is embarrassing is that he did not escape the pursuit of the Red Guards, and was finally trapped in an ice cave and froze to death. Although they didn't die together, they coincidentally welcomed the same way of death. I can't help but feel the fate of this thing!

There is a legend here, and according to legend, before Kolchak died, he announced that he had left a treasure map of the 500 tons of gold. Once you have a treasure map, you can see that gold again.

Yi Ming and I have already carefully examined this parchment scroll just now, although we can't be 100% sure, but if the legend is true, nine times out of ten, this one in our hands is the treasure map in Kolchak's mouth! (To be continued.) )
