Chapter 799: High Alert

Speaking of this Kikujiro Takashima, there are many stories about this guy.

In the eyes of many ordinary Japanese, this guy is a great entrepreneur, but in the eyes of people in the Japanese cultural relics collection and archaeology circles, this guy can definitely be regarded as an out-and-out hero.

The reason why I say this is entirely because of this guy's contribution to the Tokyo National Museum.

This Kikujiro Takashima was born in a poor fishing village in Fukushima Prefecture, and his ancestors were all in the seafood business, so although he was born in a very poor place, his family is not bad.

Later, he went to university, and after graduating from university, he joined Osaka Merchant Marine Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Mitsui & Co., Ltd., during which time he was sent to China many times and visited many cities in China.

It was during that time that he began his own collection of Chinese cultural relics, and of course the means of collecting it were certainly ilproper.

This grandson is a good friend of the big traitor Wang Jingwei, and he also made friends with many high-ranking officials in Wang's puppet government, such as Zhou Fohai, Mei Siping, Lin Bosheng and other big traitors.

It was from these people that he could easily get his hands on the top antiques in China at that time.

It was also during this time that he joined Mitsui & Co.'s Oji Paper Company, and during that time, he developed Oji Paper into one of Japan's largest paper companies, relying on a steady stream of wood looted from China.

He even won the nickname of a paper king, and some people even said that he was the pioneer of the Japanese paper industry, the spokesperson Yunyun.

On the contrary, he completely ignored this guy, during that time in China. By dishonorable means. The experience of looting Chinese antiquities everywhere.

Of course, this is not honorable, that is, the Chinese are just talking. In the eyes of the Japanese, he did so out of his ability and for the benefit of the Japanese people.

In particular, in 1965, after the war, this old man donated most of his collection to the Tokyo National Museum, many of which are very valuable Chinese calligraphy and paintings.

For example, this partial fragment of Zhao Mengfu's "Thirteen Treks", this "Thirteen Treks" is the thirteen passages written by Zhao Mengfu in the Yuan Dynasty after playing with the original rubbings of "Dingwu Lanting" left by Wang Xizhi back then, and it became a sensation after it was written. Because his handwriting is so beautiful, it can even be compared with Wang Xizhi's original version.

And this "Thirteen Trek" is far more than that, and later this Zhao Mengfu wrote happily, and directly copied the full text of Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface" and added it to this "Thirteen Trek".

So when this calligraphy was written, it was a sensation, and none of the countless romantic scholars did not want to take this calligraphy to their own collection, so the influence of this calligraphy in the Chinese literature and academic circles of that year was quite large.

Even the Mongolian royal family, which has never known how to appreciate the culture of the Central Plains, once fell into the craze for this calligraphy, and later fell into the hands of the Mongolian royal family.

Later, the Ming Dynasty rushed to Mengyuan. This calligraphy has fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty royal family, and it has been stored in the Forbidden City.

Later, Li Zicheng broke through the city of Beijing. After several days of burning, killing and looting in the Forbidden City, this calligraphy has been left in the public since then.

Later, Emperor Kangxi, who loved antique calligraphy, sent people to the people several times to find out the whereabouts of this calligraphy, but nothing was found.

And when this calligraphy reappeared, it was in the Qianlong period, when it was collected by a person named Tan Zuoshou, and the reason why he collected this calligraphy was revealed was because his home was in a bad fire, and this calligraphy was one of the most important victims of that fire.

After the fire was extinguished, this Tan group was crying and wiping away tears, and many people asked him at that time, the fire was so big, you rushed into it so desperately, what did you want to rescue?

You must know that money is a thing outside the body, after all, it is still the most important life, besides, your family has also been in business for generations, and the family has a big business, and it is not bad for money, so you can't afford to lose your own life for that bit of silver.

As a result, this Tan groupshou sent the evil fire in his heart to the person who dissuaded him at that time, and scolded: You know what a fart, do you think Lao Tzu is really for money? You're really right, Lao Tzu is really not bad for money, but Lao Tzu rushed in so desperately, not for money, but for this Zhao Mengfu's "Thirteen Trek" copybook!

He was also too emotional, so he couldn't help but burst out this fierce news, and then everyone was until, oh, it turned out that Emperor Kangxi had been looking for Zhao Mengfu's "Thirteen Treks" fell into the hands of your kid, the emperor wasted so much effort to find this baby, but you didn't take it out, you have a big bad conscience, this is the crime of bullying the king!

If this calligraphy is still intact, then the emperor who likes antiques will definitely not let it go, but it has been burned to pieces, there are only a few fragments left, Qianlong has no interest in this fragment, and finally it is cheaper Tan Group Ribbon, and he did not embarrass him.

Later, this fragment was acquired by the famous calligrapher at that time, Weng Fanggang, for a lot of money.

Later, during the Japanese invasion of China, this fragment was forcibly captured by the Japanese invaders because of the Japanese invasion, and later fell into the hands of this Takashima Kikujiro, and finally he dedicated it to the Tokyo National Museum.

Looking at this fragment of the hand-me-down work of China's greatest calligrapher, Jin Muchen felt a lot of emotion in his heart, this calligraphy fragment, able to survive the fire, and finally tossed and turned to Japan, this should also be a kind of heavenly fate, but today I met myself, then it is doomed to this calligraphy fragment, is to return to the hands of the Chinese.

After that, he was basically in no mood to continue looking, there were too many calligraphy and paintings, and after he looked at them a few times, he stopped looking, because he didn't want to waste time on these things, and his main energy was focused on quietly observing the security measures inside the museum.

After all, in a few days, he planned to come here, so he must memorize the situation here, but unfortunately he is not allowed to take pictures here, so he can only rely on his amazing memory and eyesight to write down the security measures here, and after going back, he can come up with a suitable countermeasure.

The security measures here, to be honest, were the tightest he'd ever seen, and in addition to those electronic security measures, there were a lot of security guards, and plainclothes security guards mixed with tourists, constantly patrolling back and forth.

So if you want to do it during the day, it's simply impossible, but what if it's at night?

However, it is difficult to say what the security situation here is at night, Jin Muchen frowned, and he didn't dare to show it too obviously.

After all, these cameras can all see him, and if he wants to stare at these cameras at this time, it will easily arouse the vigilance of these Japanese people.

So he could only sneak in intermittently, and after watching for a while, he had to stop for a while.

Just like that, more than two hours passed, and the sky was already dark, and at this time, Belinda and Jesse reluctantly turned around from the front exhibition halls.

Originally, I wanted to continue to take a good look at these top Chinese calligraphy and paintings in this exhibition hall, but I didn't expect that not long after I came in, the radio in the museum thought about it.

It turned out to inform everyone that the museum has closed for work, please cooperate with the work of the museum, and please leave the museum automatically before 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

There is still half an hour to go until six o'clock, and everyone is equivalent to walking all day today, and they are already tired by this time, although they have seen a lot of good things, which makes Jesse and Belinda very excited.

But at this time, they were suddenly reminded of the time, and the two of them really felt that their legs were a little sore, and their stomachs were almost hungry.

Jin Muchen had no intention of staying any longer, and walked out of the museum with the two beauties.

Then I found a restaurant near Ueno Park, had a quick bite to eat, and then went to the parking lot to pick up the car and started driving to Shinjuku.

Taito Ward is a place with a large concentration of leisure places such as museums and parks, and there are not many residents and commercial establishments, so it is far less bustling than Shinjuku.

By seven o'clock, it was almost a dead silence, and although there were two street lights on the road, there were not many cars on the road.

When he went back, Jin Muchen didn't drive by himself, but asked Jesse to drive, and while walking through the streets and alleys, he had been observing the geography here.

After driving for more than an hour, the car entered the Shinjuku area, and the road became lively, not only with more colorful neon lights, but also with more pedestrians on the side of the road, and most of them were young people.

Shinjuku is the most popular area for young people in Tokyo, and the area here is relatively young, and the cost is not high, which is completely different from the style of Ginza.

Now that Yoshiharu has the supply of goods that Watanabe has obtained, and there is no external threat, it is quite nourishing here.

They have completely controlled all the entertainment venues in the entire Shinjuku area, and they not only supply various entertainment venues, but even set up a lot of small stalls on the roadside.

On the one hand, the owners of these stalls are scouts, who specialize in pimping on the roadside, and at the same time find beautiful women, if they have good quality, they will persuade these beauties to mix with them and take them into the entertainment industry.

To put it bluntly, it is very simple, it is to trick these women into being escort misses, or **** women...... (To be continued.) )
