Chapter 519: The General's Coffin

Jin Muchen also didn't expect that he would become the focus of this auction in this way, and at this time, the big guys paid attention to him, which really made him feel a little uncomfortable.

In the past, he had always believed in the principle of making a fortune in silence, so every time he picked up a leak, he was silent, and he didn't participate in auctions or anything.

This time, I also came to participate in this auction because of an unexpected invitation, but I didn't expect that I would become the focus of this auction.

Fortunately, this is an anonymous auction with makeup, otherwise I would have been really famous this time.

But whatever, they don't understand, they dare to look at themselves with the eyes of SB, but they don't know that it is themselves who pick up the big bargain.

If they knew what kind of expression would they have at that time if the three priceless genuine Hongshan ancient jade pieces were pocketed by themselves for 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.

As soon as he thought of this, Jin Muchen felt much better and calmer.

Fortunately, the auction continued, and everyone glanced at him a few times, and then they all turned their eyes away and stopped looking at him, after all, compared with looking at him, everyone still has more important things to do, such as the fine products at this auction.

Especially the coffin that hasn't appeared yet......

The auction is still continuing, but Jin Muchen has no intention of selling the next few things, because those few things are either tomb items that he doesn't like very much, or they are boutique products that are wide open.

One of these things is the type he doesn't like, so he doesn't want to spend money on those things.

The second is that those things that open their doors are really not real. Now that everyone knows that these are good things. Then the list price is not low. There are many wealthy people who are willing to bid for such genuine products.

Therefore, the final price is often exaggerated, which is not quite in line with the consistent principles of Jin Muchen's collection.

In addition, there are too many good things he has seen and owned, and the few things that have been auctioned are good, but they have not yet made him tempted to the point that he must buy them.

Soon these few things were pocketed by those rich people, and they were happy. The one who didn't succeed didn't sigh too much.

The initial warm-up of this auction is almost warm, everyone's emotions have been fully mobilized, and the organizers know that it is time to come up with the finale.

Sure enough, before the auction this time, seven or eight staff members came to the scene, and then carefully pushed the coffin to the front desk.

"Distinguished guests, the items to be auctioned this time are the most precious items in our auction. It comes from China's Liao@Ning@ Province XXX, according to preliminary judgment. This is a coffin of the Liao Dynasty, and the owner province of the coffin is to be determined. However, according to the specifications of the tomb at that time, as well as the shape of this coffin, the opinion given by our experts is that this is at least the coffin of the general who thought it was at that time, and as for what kind of tomb goods are in this coffin, we don't know this, it depends on who is destined to be able to open it today......"

I have to say that this auctioneer is very sensational and professional.

At least Jin Muchen didn't see that this coffin was the coffin of the general of the Liao Dynasty, but since people dared to say so, it must be well-founded, and they wouldn't talk nonsense.

After all, this auction has been held for some years, and it is also famous, and the bidders who come to participate are all from a lot of background, and the organizer does not dare to fool around casually.

Presumably, at the same time as they first obtained this coffin, they also communicated with the tomb robbers, or specially invited experts to verify it, so they dared to say so.

As soon as these words came out, the bidders in the audience immediately rolled up their arms one by one, rolled up their sleeves and prepared to fight.

This coffin is so tempting, everyone who has participated in such an underground auction before knows that this kind of stuffy card seems to be a coffin, and it has appeared in this auction before, but the frequency is not very frequent.

After all, it's hard to get such a thing, second, even if you get it from the ground, it's not easy to get it abroad, and third, even if you get it, those tomb robbers are so greedy, how can they bear it, don't open the coffin by themselves, take out the treasures inside, and maximize their own interests?

So outside the country, if you want to get such a complete coffin that has not been opened, it is even more difficult.

And the organizer was able to get such a complete coffin, which shows that people are really capable.

And there have been people who have photographed such coffins before, and they can always find some good things from them, and if the things they find are relatively novel and scarce, it will be amazing.

Once you invest, you will make it back.

Even if you don't find that rare and unique treasure in such a coffin, then the bones inside are still there, right? If the clothes of the bones are not rotten, then it is better.

When the time comes, if you sell this thing to those museums in the West, you won't lose much, and you may even make a small profit.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, investing in such a coffin must be a sure-fire business.

Therefore, the auction of this coffin, as soon as it opened, immediately entered the white-hot stage.

This coffin, the organizer started with 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and the bidding price each time was 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, the starting price is not high, but the key is that the price increase is not small each time.

In just half a minute, the price of this coffin has exceeded 10 million, which can be said to be a world of difference from when the previous Red Mountain Ancient Jade appeared.

Looking at those people, they were red-faced and red-eared for the coffin, but Jin Muchen was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and was in no hurry to make a move.

After all, he is very sure of that coffin, maybe the organizers are right, this coffin is indeed the coffin of a general at the level of a captain in the Liao Dynasty, but unfortunately this coffin is not very well preserved.

There are holes in the corners, and they are filled with sediment, and the corrosiveness of these sediments is very strong, so the bones and other things inside must have rotted.

As for the funerary goods inside...... Hehe, maybe a lot of good things were buried together at that time, but now, I'm afraid it's already rotten.

The reason why these people are earning so fiercely, Jin Muchen also knows that this must be related to the organizer's announcement that this coffin is the general of the Liao Dynasty.

You must know that the dynasty of Da Liao is not a dynasty created by the Central Plains civilization, their ancestors are Khitan.

And this ethnic group, which is somewhat known as iron, also has its own unique tomb style because of its belief in Nestorianism.

Especially the soldiers of their period, when they were buried, there were some burial goods that had to be buried together.

For example, the iron armor that this general wore before, or the wrench used to start work, and even the treasure knife he used before his death, etc.

Moreover, when the Khitan people are buried, they also like to put some gold utensils in the coffin of the deceased, what gold beans, gold cakes are very common things.

We see that in modern archaeological history, the few ancient burial objects such as gold cakes and golden beans have been found, most of which were found in the coffins of the Liao Dynasty, and the owners of those coffins were mostly big people in their lifetimes.

And this coffin, people can say, is the coffin of a general in the Liao Dynasty.

And he is also a general at the level of a commander of ten thousand, you must know that a general of this level in the Liao Dynasty is the generalissimo of the Liao Dynasty, the backbone of the army under Da Shi Linya.

is equivalent to the current division-level cadres, so one by one must be characters with a lot of family background.

Although these people are unlikely to be as famous as those well-known ministers of the Liao Dynasty, their funeral goods are not necessarily much less than those famous ministers.

Especially if these generals were once the generals of the Liao State before Yelu Dashi, then his net worth would be even more incredible.

At that time, the Liao army was a hegemon in northern China, not only beating the Great Song Dynasty, which abolished its martial arts and castrated the martial spirit of the Chinese nation, but also cleaned up all the grassland tribes in northern China at that time.

At that time, the Liao State could be said to be immeasurably beautiful for a while, not only the Great Song Dynasty wanted to lose sincerity in the New Year's currency, but even those barbaric grassland tribes also had to pay tribute every year.

So the general at that time was a big fat guy, and he could catch a lot of money for a year.

In this situation, until they occupied most of the north, and then were corrupted by Confucianism, they quickly degenerated, and then were replaced by another barbarian race, the Jurchens.

However, the Liao State at that time did not destroy the country and the species, Yelu Abaoji's eighth grandson, Yelu Dashi was out of the siege of the Jurchens at that time, and took his men and horses to establish a more extensive Western Liao than the original Liao territory.

Because they were no longer influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, they had maintained the strength of the beginning of the founding of the country, and had been fighting against the Jin State established by the Jurchens for many years, until later, a more barbaric and powerful nation, the rise of the Mongols, came to an end.

In fact, in history, the person who marched to the west earlier than Genghis Khan and beat the European coalition forces to the ground was none other than Yelu Dashi, who founded the Western Liao Dynasty!

It was precisely because of the history of the Liao State during that period and the unique habits of the Liao people that the people present were extremely red for the coffin of the Liao general in front of them.

Thinking that this is the coffin of the general of the Liao State, it is very likely that there will be gold cakes, golden beans, or treasure knives, iron armor or something in it, and these people's eyes are red. (To be continued......)
