Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom

"No money?" This is not only Qin Han dumbfounded, all the staff of the research department are dumbfounded, there is no money to hold a fart meeting, and those who come to the meeting are all here because of the problem of research funds. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this point in the meeting, there is no point in the combat troops staying any longer, so they have asked for leave to leave, and the gang of murderers don't care about the money at all, they will only reach out and ask for weapons and equipment when they need it, as for how did the weapons and equipment come from? Lao Tzu is a turtle, no matter how the money comes from.

As everyone gradually left, in the end, even Zhang Fang and others felt that there was no result in staying any longer, so they chose to leave.

It wasn't until only Ma Shuren, Ding Dashan and Qin Han were left in the entire conference room that Yuan Fuli, who had been silent for a long time, asked Qin Handao: "Xiao Qin, didn't you say it?" ”

"Say what? Your secret? Of course, Qin Han knew what Yuan Fuli meant, but it seemed that he had forgotten it since the last time he talked to Yuan Fuli.

"yes, that's the secret."

"No, that's your secret, it's not mine, if you don't want to say why I'm talking too much." On the issue of money, Qin and Han have always looked very lightly, which has little to do with the usefulness of money in the last days.

The conversation between the two made the other two puzzled, Ding Dashan was anxious, and couldn't help asking, "What are you two fighting dumb about?" If you can say it, talk about it, and if you can't say it, discuss it privately, don't hang people's appetites here? ”

"There's nothing I can't say, it's still related to money, it's just that it takes a bit of effort to get the money." Yuan Fuli finally stopped dwelling on the secret of the treasure and decided to make it public.

Facing the puzzled eyes of Ma and Ding, Yuan Fuli said solemnly: "We have the treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!" ”

As soon as these words came out, in addition to the confusion on the face of Ding Dashan, Ma Shuren's face changed greatly.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has two mysteries that have not yet been solved: one is the mystery of the treasure of Tianjing, and the other is the mystery of the treasure of Shi Dakai's Dadu River.

The vigorous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was once very prosperous, and the Taiping army demanded very strictly, every time they captured a city or a pool, the amount of property obtained was handed over to the public, and the officers and soldiers were not allowed to hide it privately, and the people who hid more than one tael of gold or five taels of silver had to be beheaded, which was the so-called "sacred treasury system."

Therefore, in a short period of time, the Taiping army accumulated a lot of wealth, accumulated abundant wealth for the establishment of the country, and the palace (Tianwangfu) was built "splendid", which is really like heaven, because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is rich.

Li Xiucheng, the loyal king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, said in his confession before his execution: "Although it had the name of the holy treasury in the past, it was actually the private possession of Hong Xiuquan, not the public currency of the pseudo-capital. The officers and soldiers of the puppet dynasty were paid no salary, and the eldest brother Wang (referring to Hong Xiuquan) and the second brother (referring to Yang Xiuqing) used the poor punishment method to loot the silver and rice of each museum. ”

This shows that after the "Tianjing Incident", the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was in the hands of the Hong family, and the wealth of the "Holy Treasury" had become Hong Xiuquan's "private collection".

Soon after Hong Xiuquan's death, Tianjing also let Zeng Guofan's Hunan army fall. Before the fall of the city, legend has it that a large amount of silver taels in the Chinese treasury, like Hong Xiuquan's body, had been secretly buried underground in the Tianwang Mansion, where the current presidential palace is located.

After occupying the Tianwang Mansion, the Hunan army dug three feet into the ground, leaving no dead ends, hoping to find the buried treasure. But the Heavenly King's Mansion was dug up, and there was no shadow of this batch of treasures.

Some scholars believe that the treasury of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was very empty in the end, and the buried treasures were only speculation from the outside world, and the confession of Li Xiucheng, an important general of the Taiping Army in the later period, after being arrested by the Hunan army, confirmed that "there was no rice in the treasury" and "there was no gold and silver in the house".

There is a theory that the treasures buried by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were secretly taken away by the Zeng family, and when Zeng Guofan's wife returned to Hunan from Jiangning (Nanjing), she escorted more than 200 ships, and the outside world speculated that they were loaded with treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Zeng Guoquan later asked people to burn down the Tianwang Mansion, which is said to be to cover up his crime of digging treasures. The Qing court wanted to find out the truth, and Cixi appointed Ma Xinyi as the governor of Liangjiang, one of the tasks of which was to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

But soon Ma Xinyi was assassinated, and the matter was closed. Tsang never admitted that he had embezzled the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Therefore, the treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has always been a mystery that has been unsolved, countless people want to know whether he exists, and at the same time, countless people are looking for it, but until now, there has not been a single treasure in the world.

Yuan Fuli slowly told the rumors about the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and when he heard that Hong Xiuquan's crown and gold necklace weighed 8 catties, and the dishes, chopsticks, bathtubs, toilets, and night pots were also made of gold, everyone showed a confused look.

In addition to Ma Shuren, who has read books, Ding Dashan, a poor peasant from a native turtle, can be said to not even know what eight oceans look like together, let alone what the concept of 8 catties of gold is.

"Can you get up?" After hesitating for a long time, Ma Shuren asked in a somewhat dry voice.

"It's not a big problem, but now there are devils around there all the time, I'm afraid that the devils will find out as soon as we move." Yuan Fuli's expression was a little gloomy, he should have remembered Zhang Songlin, a student who died because of this batch of treasures.

"I don't think there's any need to get up." Qin Han, who had not spoken, said suddenly.

"Why?" Such a big matter is related to the treasure of a country, so Ma Shuren has to be cautious, Ding Dashan and Yuan Fuli are also solemnly waiting for Qin Han to explain the reason.

After being silent for about two or three minutes, Qin Han organized his words and said: "The general location of the treasure is already known to the devils, and it is impossible for the devils to watch us swallow such a large batch of treasures no matter what." ”

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement with their own point of view, Qin Han continued: "Then if we want to raise this batch of treasures, we will inevitably confront the 26th Division of the devils. ”

Qin Han's reason is very good, if he wants to come up with this batch of treasures now, it will only make the devil more sensitive, and he will even do whatever it takes to obtain this batch of treasures.

In Suiyuan, it can be said that there are no other organized anti-Japanese teams except for the independent regiment. And without support, there are independent regiments of devils on all sides, and they are powerless to stop the devils' movements. So the best way is to let this matter fade and not provoke the sensitive nerves of the devil.

What's more, if you fight against the 26th Division of the Devil now, if the Independent Regiment loses, everything will stop, and if you win the ......, is it still meaningful to not be able to afford this batch of treasures?

Qin Han slowly said his thoughts, and everyone who listened couldn't help nodding, and finally unanimously decided that the treasure should continue to be buried, and the country would come forward to excavate it when it was liberated in the future.
