Chapter 752: Meiji Sabre

Now Wei Wu and the others wanted to go back and discuss what to do, but Akihiko Okada invited them to visit the company, and they couldn't refuse.

So at the invitation of Akihiko Okada, everyone followed him to visit the Fuji Sakura Auction Company. Zuihou, Akihiko Okada took them to the showroom of Fuji Sakura.

It is said to be a showroom, but in fact, it is a huge photo of the items that Fuji Sakura has auctioned. The photographs are framed in glass and then hung on the wall.

These are the results of Fuji Sakura.

The showroom is divided into several large areas, including jewelry, jade, ancient coins and so on.

In each area, there are photos of valuable items that Fuji Sakura has auctioned, and detailed descriptions are provided at the bottom of the photos.

The main content of the explanation is the value of the item, and when it was auctioned at Fuji Sakura, and how high Zuihou was auctioned off. If the seller and buyer allow it, the photo will also show who entrusted the item to Fuji Sakura for auction, who sold the item, and so on.

Akihiko Okada took everyone on a tour while listening to the narrator's fluent introduction in Chinese.

Soon everyone visited the Jinshi Zone, and after the narrator introduced several valuable items, Okada smiled and said, "At present, although these items are very valuable, they are still inferior to the Dancing Horse Bronze Pot. When the bronze pot of dancing horses is successfully auctioned, a photo of him will be added here, and the value will be the highest in the gold and stone section. ”

Everyone was very upset by what Okada said, but they were helpless. I had to pretend that I didn't hear it with a blank face.

However, Xu Yanfeng observed Zou Zhenhua, and saw that Zou Zhenhua's expression changed, and his eyes showed a little remorse and hesitation.

Xu Yanfeng nodded silently in his heart. Quietly, I went to other special areas with everyone to visit.

Then everyone came to the cold weapons area, and the narrator first introduced a bow used by the "Emperor Jimmu" of the Wa Kingdom according to its value. "Emperor Jimmu" is said to be the first emperor in the history of the Wa Kingdom, which shows that the historical value of the bow he used is very high.

The second most valuable cold weapon was a saber used by Emperor Meiji. Emperor Meiji was a famous emperor in the history of the Wa Kingdom, and the Meiji Restoration Movement, which took place during the Meiji government, was the great historical turning point that promoted the transition of the Wa Kingdom from a feudal society to a capitalist society.

The Meiji Emperor gradually enriched the Wa Kingdom through the Meiji Restoration, and gradually abolished the unequal treaties signed with the Western powers by using his strong national power. The sovereignty of the country was regained and the crisis of becoming a colony was extricated. At the same time, in 1895 and 1904, they defeated the former Manchu Empire and Russia in the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War respectively. Become the dominant Asian power for a while.

Emperor Meiji is a very historical emperor of the Wa Kingdom, so the value of the saber he used will naturally not be low.

When the narrator introduced the previous photos, Okada looked proud. However, Xu Yanfeng noticed that the narrator was introducing this saber. Okada's expression twitched. There was a very complicated look in his eyes.

Xu Yanfeng noticed Okada's expression, mainly because everyone else was looking at the photo, but Xu Yanfeng was looking at people all the time.

Although the experts of Wei Wu were worried about the authenticity of the bronze pot, their professionalism caused them to be too interested in these things about history, whether it was domestic or foreign, they were very "hungry" to look at the photos and listen to the introduction. At this time. They had long forgotten about the bronze pot of dancing horses. That's the magic of interest.

But Xu Yanfeng is really not interested in these things, he is still thinking about the bronze pot of the dancing horse. And from time to time, he glanced at Zou Zhenhua a few times. And Zou Zhenhua is very close to Okada Station. Xu Yanfeng saw the change in Okada's expression just now.

weishenme Okada had that kind of expression just now?

Xu Yanfeng had some doubts in his heart, but he could conclude that Akihiko Okada's expression would change, and it must be because of the saber used by Emperor Meiji.

Then Xu Yanfeng continued to follow everyone to visit the showroom, and Akihiko Okada's expression never changed. Until the end of the introduction, I have always maintained a proud and proud appearance.

And it's no wonder. Being able to run such a large auction company, with the support of the Japanese government, has auctioned so many valuable items. Such a life experience is indeed enough to make a person proud.

"Everyone, stay for a light meal." After the visit, Okada warmly retained everyone.

Wei Wu and the others were "addicted" to those items just now, but now that they have recovered their "sanity", they naturally will not delay their efforts any longer.

But before Wei Wu could say goodbye, Xu Yanfeng stepped forward and grabbed Okada's hand and said, "Mr. Okada, when I visited the showroom just now, there were a few things that I was very interested in, can you please introduce them more." ”

Okada Yu Haode smiled: "Of course, what is Mr. Xu interested in?" With that, he pointed to the conference table and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

This is exactly what Xu Yanfeng wanted, in order to spy on Okada, you can't hold his hand all the time.

Xu Yanfeng sat at the conference table with Okada, Wei Wu and the others were a little helpless, and said that this young man seemed to be too interested in these things, but he should also look at the current situation, and now he should hurry back to discuss the situation of the appraisal, how can he have any spare time to sit down and understand those things in the showroom.

Although he felt that Xu Yanfeng was not serious, Wei Wu couldn't pull Xu Yanfeng in front of Okada and left, so he had to sit down with the two.

Subsequently, I only heard Xu Yanfeng ask Emperor Shenmu about the bow used first. Okada told Xu Yanfeng what he had learned about the detailed historical value of the bow.

Xu Yanfeng listened while using the conference table to spy on Okada.

After Okada finished speaking, Xu Yanfeng said a few words of interest, and then asked Okada a few questions about the situation of the bow.

Okada still looked like a friend and helped Xu Yanfeng answer.

Today, Xu Yanfeng and others did not identify the flaw in the bronze pot of the dancing horse, which made Okada very excited. When he is in a big mood, he is naturally very friendly to Xu Yanfeng.

After Xu Yanfeng finished asking about the bow, he asked the key point.

"Mr. Okada. Can you tell us a little bit more about the saber that Emperor Meiji used? What is the history of this knife? Xu Yanfeng said.

Xu Yanfeng asked about the saber, and Okada's heart really jumped a few times, but this time because many people were looking at him, his expression did not change, and he was very controlled.

As for the history of this saber, in fact, the narrator has already introduced it just now.

This saber was once a favorite item of the Meiji Emperor. At that time, the Japanese Civil War was in the middle of the war, and Emperor Meiji temporarily gave this saber to a general named Masao Okada at the time. Let him follow this sword as a letter and lead his soldiers to defeat the shogunate army.

And this General Masao Okada is the ancestor of Mr. Akihiko Okada, the current general manager of Fuji Sakura Auction Company.

At that time, Masao Okada lived up to expectations. Led the soldiers to defeat the shogunate army several times.

Since Emperor Meiji only temporarily gave the saber to Masao Okada at that time, it was a bit like carrying the emperor's token, just like the emperor's personal expedition.

So after the war, Masao Okada returned the saber to Emperor Meiji. and reported that he used this knife to kill several main commanders of the shogunate army.

Did you really kill with this knife? No one knows that. Anyway, if you say that, it's a bit like Emperor Meiji personally killed several generals of the shogunate army with this sword.

Emperor Meiji, of course, was very pleased, and ordered the sword to be sealed, saying that if there was another major war in the future, he would give it to the shogun again.

Emperor Meiji used this sword as a mascot.

However, for a long time, the Meiji Emperor did not give the sword to any of the generals on the expedition.

Until World War II, the situation of the Japanese state in China gradually became tense. While the Japanese Kingdom continued to increase its troops against our country, Emperor Hirohito invited this "auspicious" saber out. Bestowed on a general who sent troops to our country.

But at that time, the defeat of the Japanese army had already appeared, and it was not a mascot that could turn defeat into victory.

1945 year. The Wa Kingdom was forced to surrender. And the Japanese general Sato, who was holding an auspicious saber, expected that after he returned to Japan, he would definitely go to a military court and be tried.

So on the eve of the surrender, Sato ignored his wife and children who were still in the Japanese country, and ran to Vietnam with a soft man to live incognito. And this auspicious saber, which he also carried with him at the time, was mainly for self-defense.

Later, Sato married and had children in Vietnam, but his life was not very good, and he always wanted to return to the country.

It wasn't until the new century that Sato became seriously ill and finally returned to the Wakoku Kingdom. He's already sick like this, and no one will hold him accountable for the crimes he committed back then.

Soon after, Sato fell ill and died. His sons and grandsons were attracted by the colorful life of the Japanese country, and felt that it was more than a hundred times stronger than Vietnam, and naturally did not want to go back.

But I don't have a house, I don't have money, so what should I do?

So they thought of Emperor Meiji's saber, took it out and gave it to Fujizakura for auction, and suddenly became a lot of rich people.

This saber was auctioned by the chairman of a large group and donated to the largest national museum in the country, becoming one of the treasures of the museum.

These situations have all been introduced by the narrator, and Akihiko Okada told Xu Yanfeng in more detail just now.

However, when Okada said that his ancestor Masao Okada had defeated the shogunate army and returned the saber to the Meiji Emperor, a message flashed in his mind: In fact, the real Meiji saber had been lost in the battle with the shogunate army.

When Xu Yanfeng spied on this information, he was surprisingly surprised.

Could it be that Masao Okada also gave Emperor Meiji a fake saber?

But it's possible to think about it. If Masao Okada really lost the "Imperial Gift" saber, then he would definitely not dare to report it truthfully. If it is reported, how Meiji will treat Masao Okada, Xu Yanfeng can't think of it.

But in the history of Huaxia, whoever dares to lose the token given by the emperor will be beheaded, even if 90% of them will be beheaded. Even if you can save your head, all the credit you have done before will be wasted. The emperor will not have any good impression of this kind of person who has lost his things.

Therefore, it is very possible for Masao Okada to take a risk and find a skilled craftsman to create an identical fake saber. (To be continued......)
