Chapter 584: Three Artifacts
"Move away, move all away!"
Tan Heyi stood in the tomb, looked at the countless burial goods around him and said, the commander of the UAE Brigade beside him had already held a gem-inlaid ancient mirror and blossomed, and those sappers of the two countries who entered with him were going crazy and carrying all kinds of treasures and cultural relics into the military vehicle.
"What about this?"
His lieutenant asked, looking at a huge sarcophagus in front of him.
"Pry it open and see if there's anything good inside!"
The commander of the UAE Brigade shouted.
"Listen to Your Excellency, Brigadier."
Tan Heyi said.
Several UAE sappers immediately stepped forward, then pried open the sarcophagus, and then let out a heartfelt exclamation, and quickly began to pick up all kinds of treasures, a group of Assamese sappers stood behind and passed outward, while the adjutant himself held a string of gold objects inlaid with gems and seemed to be ready for private collection.
In the busyness, an Arab sapper actually took out a skull, and then unceremoniously took off the ornaments on it, as for the skull, he threw it at his feet at will, and another Assamese sapper accidentally stepped on it when handing something, because the history has been rotten for too long, so it is likely that the skull belonging to Emperor Nintoku was directly stepped on by him.
Of course, these good things must not be swallowed by them alone, and just when the soldiers were doing it, Tan Heyi and the others quickly discussed the distribution plan. Of course, the majority of them must be the masterminds and those who do the work, and the remaining officers and men of the same unit fighting on the front line, the generals at all levels of the Tokyo Allied Forces Headquarters, the high-ranking officials of the governments of their respective countries, and even the officers and pilots of the transport plane units of the Ming Air Force who transport them must all have a share. Otherwise, such wealth is destined to be spent. Everybody is smart about that. It's clear. Even the top generals of the U.S. military have to give small gifts.
Two hours later, the sappers left the Mausoleum of Emperor Nintoku with a dozen trucks full of goods and left in the night.
After they left, a nearby Wakuni Defense Force appeared outside the bombed-out tomb of Emperor Nintoku's Mausoleum, and the two officers looked at the potentially worthless items that had been discarded on the ground, glanced at each other, and then waved to the soldiers behind them, and then the men poured in. Soon, one by one, they were contented with all kinds of altars and jars, and they also came out and quickly disappeared into the night.
The news of the harvest of the Assamese Army and the Allied Allied Army at the Mausoleum of Emperor Nintoku soon spread throughout the Allied Army.
Although these unrighteous guys don't admit it, how can this kind of thing be really kept secret, and the Jun teams of various countries who were greatly stimulated immediately dug up the tombs of the emperors of the Japanese kingdom in their own combat areas like crazy, and then swept away the burial goods inside. Even in the end, even the Japanese National Defense Forces themselves moved, although this is the imperial tomb of their own country, but now the emperor is hanging on the gallows of Yingtian, who will care about those messy things. Besides, they dug it up and are still in their own hands. Being dug up by other countries can cause the loss of national treasures, so the Japanese National Defense Forces themselves dig up even harder.
In a word. The large number of Japanese imperial tombs in Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara were completely unlucky, and even the graves of some other wealthy nobles were dug up.
For the large-scale archaeological activities of the front-line coalition forces, the coalition headquarters turned a blind eye, and even the civilian government remained silent, whether it was the Ming army or the US military high-level acquiesced to this kind of behavior, in the end, people traveled thousands of miles to give the two countries face to come to fight for them, and they couldn't have no reward at all, right? Anyway, it's useless to bury these treasures in the ground, so it's better to just give them away, not to mention that these guys won't swallow good things alone, and no one in the top echelons of the Ming and American armies has yet to get a small gift or something.
Westmoreland, who received a box of various gems from the South Korean army, didn't even know that they had dug up the tomb of Emperor Meiji.
Poor Emperor Meiji, in the end, not to mention that the imperial tomb was dug up, the funeral goods were looted, and even the old bones were dragged out by a few hateful South Korean soldiers, who directly crushed the tank and poured gasoline on fire.
In the end, after this catastrophe, almost all of the imperial tombs of the Wa Kingdom were destroyed, except for a very few in this area.
However, because the Taisho Emperor's Mausoleum is in Tokyo, which is the Ming military defense area, it has not been dug up, that is, it was hit by a Scud missile that missed during the previous Tokyo War, and it is not worth mentioning some shells and bombs.
Yang himself received a nice gift.
"This is their artifact? An inferior copper mirror? What about the other two? Isn't there a broken knife and a rotten stone? ”
Yang Yuan was very disdainful to hold a bronze mirror to look through, this is enshrined in the Ise Shrine of the Eight Mirrors, was robbed by the Goryeo King Defense Guards who participated in the battle, but the soldiers who got this bronze mirror did not know its identity, and later Li Jiu's father accidentally discovered that Li Yin, who was also the prince of the Wa Kingdom, of course would not not know one of the three artifacts of the Eight Mirrors, in order to show loyalty to Yang Yuan, after getting this bronze mirror, Li Jiu immediately ordered to send Yingtian.
"I don't know, the Tiancong Cloud Sword is enshrined in Atsuta Shrine, but the Nagoya battlefield is mainly fought by the U.S. military, and Atsuta Shrine was also destroyed in the war, even if this sword is still there, it is estimated that it has fallen into the hands of the people of the United States.
As for the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade, it is said that Hirohito didn't take it with him when he ran, and we really didn't find him when we caught him, so he should have been in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, but now the Imperial Palace in Tokyo has been flattened by us with a neutron bomb, and it was entrenched by the Japanese army before, even if it wasn't taken away by them, it must have been destroyed by that neutron bomb. ”
Hu Hao said.
"Forget it, it's not a good thing anyway, throw it in our royal museum as a collection!"
Yang Feng casually threw the eight-step mirror aside.
His Ming Royal Museum is in Yingtian, when the museum was first built, it was from Britain and France to come back a lot of good things, these years the Ming army went to the east and west, and also grabbed a lot from all over the world, so the current collection is relatively rich, including the original in the British Museum, the Louvre, some of the treasures in these places are also in this museum, but generally speaking, it is mainly foreign cultural relics, especially like Tianzhu, the Middle East.
In fact, in the view of Yang Yuan, a country's national museum, if it is based on its own cultural relics, it is a complete shame, if it is mainly based on the cultural relics bought, then it is even more of a shame in the shame, such cultural relics should not even be exhibited, this is for the domestic people to collect, the national museum must be based on foreign cultural relics, and it is best to rob without spending money, which is worthy of the identity of the national museum.
Under his principle, the Ming Imperial Museum is more like an exhibition hall of the history of Ming aggression.
And this war has added a lot of treasures to this museum, and now even the Eight Mirrors have become one of them.
Although many people in the later Wa Kingdom government thought that it should be handed over to the Wa King, there were also many people who thought that since the Wa Kingdom was part of the empire, it was completely reasonable for this Wa State treasure to be in the Imperial Royal Museum, so in the end it was not lost.
As for the other two, the Heavenly Cloud Sword did not appear at an auction in New York until twenty years later, but it was lost due to the protest of His Majesty the King of the Japanese Kingdom, and no one knows what happened to the outside world. The eight-foot Qiongyu has never been seen again, including the cleaning of the old palace site by the Minwa government after the war, and this national treasure has not been found, but considering that the center of the neutron bomb explosion is not far from the location where this treasure is enshrined, it is very likely that it was blown to pieces and turned into garbage, but there are many various legends.
In short, the ending of the three artifacts is as romantic as the country they originally represented.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Yang Fuhrer.
While large-scale archaeological activities were raging in the Allied Occupied Areas around Osaka, the bloody battle in the city continued, and the Japanese army had already turned Osaka into a strong fortress during the previous period of repairs, and there were various reinforced concrete fortifications everywhere in an area of hundreds of square kilometers. They avoided the main city of Osaka, which was vulnerable to naval shelling along the coast, backed by the eastern mountains, and relied on the large amount of supplies they had stockpiled in the early stage, although the allied forces attacked fiercely, but their progress was rather slow.
Of course, it's mainly a bunch of miscellaneous cards, they don't have much pressure, anyway, they can definitely be beaten down in the morning and late, and the best way for such a lonely city is actually to be sleepy, and use the time to trap them in those fortresses.
Therefore, after the completion of the encirclement, the attacking armies slowed down, but from all sides to the middle a little bit of compression, a little bit of cleanup, and did not rush to attack the core of the area controlled by the Japanese army, in fact, in addition to giving Yang Feng and Kennedy face, these countries sent troops to a large extent for the purpose of training. Just like Persia, who faced the threat of the Soviet Union, attached great importance to this opportunity to engage the Soviet army, and there were also such enemies as the United Arab Emirates, in addition to Najd, their enemies were Egypt and Syria, both of which were Soviet goods.
Since it's training, let's practice slowly! Anyway, there is time.
However, they have time, but the people of the United States do not have time, if Osaka is not defeated, the American army and the Ming army on the northern front will have to face the counteroffensive of the main force of the people, and none of the five divisions of the American army will dare to move the nest, and these five divisions will not dare to move the nest, and Kennedy will not have the confidence to play tough with the bald man in Europe. You must know that they still have three divisions in Annam, and the total number of ground forces of the US army is only twenty-two divisions, which means that they still have fourteen divisions, but there is one division that is resolutely immovable in South Goryeo, but the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Division that was originally in Najd can be transferred, but even then they only have thirteen divisions.
Just these thirteen capable divisions want to play hard with millions of Soviet troops in Eastern Europe......
Uh, the bald man will say that you are so humorous! (To be continued.) )
