Chapter 144 Chinese Cultural Relics (2) The Second Update

Chen Yunshang never expected that when she was the saddest, she comforted herself with this little girl who was usually estranged from her. Although at this time it has nothing to do with Li Xianglan herself.

Li Xianglan bowed to the end, and the estrangement between the two women disappeared. Between women, the innate instinct to make friends has taken hold again. Chen Yunshang helped Li Xianglan up, and the two women chattered, and in three or two sentences, they became familiar. I was stunned when I saw the night without light, and I felt that the creature of a woman was really unfathomable. When the two women were talking in private, they got up and left.

In another corner of Shanghai Tang, in the evening, Chen Tian, who was living in seclusion, received a message from Ye Wuguang. At this time, Chen Tian has completely changed his appearance. Not only did he grow a beard, but his hairstyle also changed a lot. And I brought glasses. Since breaking through the realm of sincerity, Chen Tian's temperament has also changed, from a martial artist to a peaceful and natural. It is impossible to see that people are born with peerless martial arts. At this time, Chen Tian, wearing a long shirt, became a Chinese teacher in an elementary school. If you are not a person who is extremely familiar with him, you will definitely not recognize him.

The contact method designed by borrowing the messaging methods in various spy war films in later generations is extremely creative, not through the public, and it can't be learned at all. Only taught Ye Wuguang and Chen Tian. Before leaving Shanghai Tang, Yu Sheng didn't assign any specific tasks to the two of them, just lurking and recording. If there is any action on weekdays, it will be found out by the night and decided whether to carry it out. And Chen Tian is a simple executor.

It's just that since the two of them lurked, the news that Ye Wuguang inquired about has always been trivial. Only this time, Li Xianglan said that the Japanese gendarmerie would send back a batch of looted cultural relics from China to Japan, which was relatively accurate and worth selling.

Therefore, after Ye Wuguang left Li Xianglan's place, he had a few phone calls with the Japanese Navy in the name of comforting Chen Yunsheng, and he heard from the side that the warship would return to Japan in half a month. In addition, I heard from several Japanese expatriates who knew each other that three days before the warship set sail, some overseas Chinese or institutions with connections and connections would be allowed to carry some miscellaneous goods on the warship and transport them back to Japan.

After all the messages were accurate, Ye Wuguang did not hesitate to send a message to Chen Tian. Be sure to keep the treasures that belong to the Chinese in the country!

During World War II, the Japanese plundered untold wealth from China and other Asian countries they invaded. It not only includes a variety of industrial resources, but also includes a large number of jewelry, gold, cultural relics. According to later statistics, in Japan's war of aggression against China, as much as 6,000 tons of gold were plundered from China, and the total amount of gold looted from other Asian countries was 10,000 tons! And the amount of this 16,000 tons of gold far exceeds the amount of gold reserves of the United States, the superpower of later generations.

In addition to gold, a large number of Chinese cultural relics were forcibly seized by the Japanese. According to later Japanese official statistics, from the September 18 Incident in 1931 and Japan's invasion of China to Japan's unconditional surrender in 1945, as many as 3.6 million cultural relics were plundered from China.

Moreover, the Japanese were different from the Eight-Nation Coalition of those years. The Eight-Nation Alliance's plundering of the city of Beijing was unorganized and unplanned. After a series of looting, the value of the burned Old Summer Palace is probably higher than the total value of all the looted cultural relics. The Japanese plundered China after a long period of reconnaissance and planning.

After the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese obtained privileges in China, and then sent a large number of agents into China in various capacities. The task of these agents is not to plunder, but to gather intelligence. After a long period of intelligence gathering, starting in the twenties of the 20 th century, Japan's major consortia and government agencies, such as Manchurian Railway, Mitsui, and Mitsubishi, sent a large number of experts and scholars who studied Chinese culture very deeply. In various names, the purchase of Chinese cultural relics.

Of course, this kind of "search" is just a cover. What the Japanese did was to collect and sort out Chinese cultural relics in more detail. And make a list of those worth robbing. Moreover, not only China, but all Asian countries in this era, which were weakening their national power, were within the scope of the Japanese inspection and robbery.

This is the famous "Golden Lily Project" in the history of Japan, whose main purpose was to plunder the wealth of Asia!

The official implementation of the "Golden Lily Plan" coincided with the Nanjing Massacre. Since Nanjing became the capital of the government of the Republic of China, there have been countless businessmen and wealthy people, and important political figures have gathered here. It is densely populated and commercially developed. It is also the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, gathering the antique treasures accumulated under the accumulation, and the gold and silver are innumerable.

Therefore, while the Japanese slaughtered 300,000 Chinese, they did not forget to loot the rich bank owners in Nanjing. As for the property of the common people, the amount plundered is even more incalculable. Chinese have always had the good habit of saving money and leaving wealth to the next generation, and as a result, the wealth accumulated by countless generations has all been cheapened by the Japanese. Compared with the looting that accompanied the massacre of hundreds of thousands of people, the Japanese looting of the puppet Manchurians can only be regarded as a prelude to the "Golden Lily Plan".

Of course, robbery was only one of the means by which the Japanese plundered wealth. For the extortion of the rich, "if you don't give money, I will tear up the ticket" and the case of digging graves when you see them, often happens. At the same time, the Japanese also produced a large amount of tobacco and its purified products, and gained a lot of wealth from it. In 1934, when the Tobacco Advisory Committee met in Geneva, the Americans denounced the Japanese as the world's largest tobacco dealers!

Among these Chinese cultural relics looted by Japan, there are many unique treasures. The most precious of them, the skull of Peking Man, is still unknown. The prohibitions on Chinese taking pictures include Li Sheng of the Southern Song Dynasty's "Xiaoxiang Lying Tour Scroll", Southern Song Dynasty Li Di's "Red and White Hibiscus Map", Southern Song Dynasty Liang Kai's "Snow Landscape Map", Yuan Dynasty Indra's "Zen Machine Diagram Broken Jian Han Mountain Found Map", the only ink in the Western Wei era "Bodhisattva Virgin Sutra" and so on.

In addition, the classics accumulated by China for thousands of years have also been swept away by the Japanese. After the war, the United States conducted a survey of cultural relics looted by Japan, and confirmed that there were 17 places in Japan where books looted during the war were stored, including the Imperial Palace of Japan, the Tokyo Science Museum, and the Tokyo Imperial University. The U.S. occupation authorities concluded that Japan had three million rare books and manuscripts looted from libraries throughout China.

In later generations, the Japanese were never willing to acknowledge this history.
