Many people who know Chinese history may feel very funny when they hear the name of this 'Tong Hengzhong' army, and maybe the first thought that flashes through their minds is another famous army 'Captain Touching Jin' formed by Cao Mengde in history!

However, the nature of these two armies is very different, Cao Mengde formed the 'Touching Gold Captain', which is a tomb robber army specializing in tomb robbing, and their purpose in robbing tombs is to help Cao Cao raise military funds and compete for world dominance.

At that time, the Ashikaga general's 'Tong Hengzhong' was not born for tomb robbery and military spending.

The main purpose of their birth was to help their masters go all over Japan to find tea cans, so as to reflect the elegance of their generals, and B was a step above other Japanese nobles.

After all, the process of Ashikaga shogun's ascension to the throne can be said to be very disgraceful, so at that time, although he held real power, it was not acceptable to those old-fashioned aristocratic classes in traditional Japan.

In order to show his high taste and cater to the critical eyes of those nobles, this Ashikaga shogun will send people all over the world to find these tea cans from the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

After all, the tea ceremony was just emerging in Japan at that time, and tea was still a very valuable drink in Japan, except for those rich and powerful high-ranking nobles who could afford it, ordinary people didn't even know what tea was.

At that time, people who could understand the tea ceremony and knew how to taste tea were quite elegant, and they were the focus of attention of the Japanese high society at that time.

And the reason why this Ashikaga shogun wanted to find so many tea cans was to let those old-fashioned Japanese aristocrats know. Lao Tzu is not a martial artist who only knows how to dance and play with swords. Lao Tzu is also quite elegant. You see, I still know the tea ceremony, you see, I have so many tea cans at home.

This is a baby from the Tang Dynasty in the East, don't look at this thing and a small sauce jar, but this is a baby, don't believe it, you go home and see, which of you still has so many tea cans at home?

This is also the Ashikaga shogun. The main purpose of the special formation of 'Tong Hengzhong', all over Japan to find tea cans.

Moreover, the 'Tong Hengzhong' army he formed was not an ordinary person, and these army members were not only samurai, but also artists, and they had to have a strong ability to identify treasures.

And these 'same Hengzhong' did not disappoint the Ashikaga general, and helped him find a total of 99 pieces of high-quality tea cans in Japan.

This also became the Ashikaga shogun. The capital of Jin has so many exquisite tea cans. Soon those old-fashioned upper classes accepted this Ashikaga shogun.

At that time, these tea cans later became a symbol of power, and many Japanese aristocrats took pride in collecting such a tea can.

But in the process of the later change of power, most of these tea cans were destroyed in the war.

By the time Toyotomi Hideyoshi arrived, only one had been preserved, because the other ninety-eight had basically been destroyed in the war, so the only one that remained was called the ninety-nine eggplant.

It's a pity that the famous ninety-nine eggplants didn't last long, after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu usurped the throne, and later launched a crusade against a certain daimyo who was dedicated to the Toyotomi family, when the castle was broken, this ninety-nine eggplant was finally broken to pieces.

Later, after Tokugawa Ieyasu got these fragments, he felt very sorry for them, and he specially had people repair this ninety-nine eggplant.

Although the repair is very good, it's a pity that this ninety-nine eggplant, since that break, the value has plummeted, and there is no longer the momentum that it used to be, and it can compete with the Yaobian Tianmu Bowl.

However, the one that appeared in front of Jin Muchen now was not the ninety-nine eggplant that was broken back then.

It is another famous eggplant, that is, the Fuzao eggplant, the biggest difference between this Fuzao eggplant and the ninety-nine eggplants is the age of birth.

The ninety-nine-haired eggplant is an antiquity of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, although it is said to be old, it is an ordinary coarse porcelain, and even some careless people, at a glance, may associate this guy with the sauce-colored garlic pounding jar that was once popular in China.

And such tea cans are actually not worth much in China, and in Japan, the reason why Japanese people are so crazy about such tea cans is entirely because of their special feelings for the Tang Dynasty.

is like many young people born in the 90s, maybe they don't know who Leslie Cheung is, and they haven't heard much of Leslie Cheung's brother or watched Leslie Cheung's movies.

But this does not prevent it, every year when Leslie Cheung's death day arrives in April, they will moan on the Internet without illness and shout a few words such as missing their brother.

The ninety-nine eggplants are actually such a sentiment for the Japanese, but in fact, in addition to the feelings, the ninety-nine eggplants are not very valuable.

And at this time, it is different.

In fact, this Fuzao eggplant is not noble, it is a celadon tea canister produced in Fu@Jian, China, during the Momoyama period in Japan.

However, after he was introduced to Japan, it was quite amazing, because it was the first time for Japan to see such exquisite azure porcelain, so as soon as he arrived in Japan, he was successively collected by many famous Japanese missions.

Among them are three famous heroes of the Momoyama period, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

It was first in the hands of Oda Nobunaga, and later fell into the hands of Toyotomi Hideyoshi after Oda Nobunaga was replaced by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, he fell into the hands of Sanada Yukimura, the Osaka daimyo who finally fell to him.

Later, Tokugawa Ieyasu began a war of unification and defeated Osaka, a city that was known as "never falling" in Japan at the time, but Sanada Yukimura refused to surrender.

In the end, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides at Osaka Castle, and in the end, Tokugawa Ieyasu's army finally captured the fortified castle, which was said to be 'never falling'.

But this Sanada Yukimura is also a fierce man, after the city was broken, he set himself on fire, not only burned himself to death, but also burned most of Osaka Castle.

Finally, when cleaning up the ruins of his mansion, Tokugawa Ieyasu's soldiers found this intact Fuzao eggplant in the ruins!

And this celadon tea canister was dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was overjoyed after getting it, rewarded the soldier heavily, and collected this algae eggplant very cherished.

Since then, this eggplant has become a family heirloom treasure of the Tokugawa family.

However, after the Fall War, the Tokugawa family was the New Year of Wang Xiaoer, and every year was not as good as the year, and in the Showa era, his children and grandchildren could only rely on selling their property to maintain their livelihood.

At this time, this Hirota Matsuhiro found the door of the descendants of the Tokugawa family, and then fooled around, and finally took this fuzao eggplant into his pocket.

After that, this guy couldn't help but show off with his fox friends and dogs, and as a result, the entire Japanese collecting community knew that the Tokugawa family's tozao eggplant actually fell into the hands of his Hirota Matsushi.

As a result, before he died, this guy understood and donated this tea caddy to the Tokyo National Museum, which was considered to break the covetousness of those guys who had been thinking about his treasures.

And now this famous Fuzao eggplant is quietly displayed in front of Jin Muchen.

This tea canist, about 20 centimeters high, is nothing special if you look at the type of pot, it is a small jar, and the shape is even similar to the pickle jar or sauce jar used by ordinary people in the north.

The only difference is that the mouth of the altar on the top of this small jar is relatively small, and there is a beautiful lid on it, which just covers the mouth of the altar.

Such a small jar, although it is celadon, but after all, it is from a folk kiln, although the level of workmanship, it looks good, but the era of origin, but it is already a work of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, it is far less precious than the celadon of the Song Dynasty, and if it is taken to China, this thing is actually not very valuable.

Considering his workmanship, it is indeed a good factor, such a tea can, to be honest, even if it is taken to auction, it can be auctioned for two or three million, and it will be killed.

But the key is the status of this tea canister in Japan, plus the addition of the Great Demon King of Oda, as well as Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the three top Japanese heroes in troubled times, so that the identity and status of this tea canister are immediately different.

If you take it to China, you may not be able to sell it for a good price, but if you take it to the international market, it will be different.

Jin Muchen estimated that with the addition of such three Japanese heroes in troubled times, this tea can at least fetch a price of tens of millions, and the currency unit must be US dollars......

This time, I picked it up cheaply, and the treasure in this East Asian Pavilion can really be said to be the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.

In addition to our top national treasures in China, there are many treasures that have been added by those Japanese celebrities, such as this fuzae eggplant, although this thing seems to be ordinary in the eyes of us Chinese.

But in the eyes of the Japanese, it is different, the treasures that have been collected by Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu represent the history of Japan.

If such a thing is lost, it is enough to make the Japanese suffer for several lifetimes.

But for Jin Muchen, this is the best, as long as it is something that can make the Japanese unhappy and make the Japanese feel painful, he is willing to do it.

Anyway, the Japanese did this to us Chinese back then, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, but the jungle survival principle that the Japanese have loved since ancient times! (To be continued.) )
