Chapter 34: The Royal Treasure
Dong Bai led Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji and others to organize the westward move to Chang'an. Focus on the protection of all kinds of classics in the Han Imperial Palace, although these precious classics can not be eaten, can not be used, but after all, they are the precious wealth accumulated by the Chinese nation for thousands of years, if they are destroyed in their own hands, they will be the sinners of the Chinese nation. If you don't have the ability, forget it, now as Dong Zhuo's precious son, with 30,000 male soldiers in his hands, he has strong strength, which is just a big handy, protecting the wealth of the nation, and who else can he be. Dong Shouye led his men to search everywhere, scraping together, and dragging hard. More than 5,000 vehicles were able to be shipped. Full of more than 5,000 cars of various classics, Dong Bai and Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji and others all felt very proud when they saw it, and they were happier than how many victories they had won. However, Hua Xiong, Li Dao and Yang Feng didn't think so, just a few broken books, as for such a stirring of teachers? Later, Dong Shouye told them that this collection of books would be the foundation of future development, and everyone began to pay attention to it. Since his boss gave the order, he didn't dare to slack off, and they all began to actively cooperate.
After a period of recuperation, Hua Xiong's serious injuries caused by Guan Erye have healed, and it is also thanks to Hua Xiong's good body, if ordinary people were beaten by Guan Erye like that, they would have vomited blood and died. When Hua Xiong faithfully carried out the orders of his new boss, he couldn't stop selling cuteness, and let his new boss teach him to read and write, which made everyone laugh. Due to Dong Bai's relatively unusual behavior of protecting poetry and book classics, the books in the Eastern Han Dynasty royal treasury were basically preserved, and this matter was also seen by some well-intentioned people.
Here, Li Ru saw that the army was moving westward and the grain and grass were insufficient, so he built Dong Zhuo to plunder large households to replenish military funds.
Luoyang is the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, and there are many rich and large households. Dong Zhuo was also unceremonious when he heard this, and immediately ordered Guo Yan to lead a school of men and horses to be responsible for looting the rich households in Luoyang, and arranged for his subordinates to use the hundreds of millions of family wealth looted from Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui as military funds.
To say that this Yuan Kui's family is really rich, the Yuan family itself is a big family of the fourth and third dukes, and the family wealth is not a problem, and later Yuan Kui married Ma Lun, the daughter of Ma Rong, a great Confucian Fufeng man in the late Han Dynasty. This Ma family is not only a historical heirloom but also a well-known giant in the world, in today's words, it is a super-rich man like Ma Yun and Wang Jianlin. According to relevant historical records, Ms. Mullen, a model among the famous women in history, has a dowry of hundreds of millions of dollars alone. It is said that this Ma Lun is very smart, and he brought so much dowry to the Yuan family, no one can give her a little face, with the huge amount of money brought from her mother's family, she has fought in a super family like the Yuan family, no one dares to underestimate her, no one dares to do anything to her, even her in-laws let her score three points. And Yuan Kui, this kid himself is also very powerful, and he has been Situ and Taifu. You say that in such a family, can you get less money by raiding his house? It's just fat!
At this moment, due to Dong Zhuo's reckless copying of big and rich households, Dong Zhuo's reputation among the scholars was completely stinky, and the reputation of Xiliangjun was completely stinky. I don't know if Dong Zhuo's copy is good or bad this time? However, Dong Zhuo's bullying and plundering of the poor people is basically none, after all, how much oil and water can these ordinary people have. What's more, isn't Dong Bai here, with him here, this kind of copying of ordinary people is basically gone.
However, it was said that when Dong Shouye was carrying the classics in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Zhao Hu, a personal guard, came to report that he had found an institution, and there was a secret passage in it that did not know where it led.
Dong Shouye was taken aback, the secret passages in the palace were either treasures, or the emperor kept them for escape, or they were privately used by the palace maids and eunuchs outside the palace. At the moment, he was also curious, and immediately arranged for his henchmen to go in and check.
In fact, the machine was placed under a bookshelf, when a soldier inadvertently tripped over the bookshelf while carrying the books, and as a result, the bookshelf collapsed, smashing a slightly concave plank, and a hole in the bottom of the plank was discovered. These bookshelves have not paid attention to these bookshelves since the day Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, established the library. When the soldier removed the plank, he realized that it was a rather large hole, and he hastened to report it to his superiors.
So Dong Shouye led some people and horses, carrying torches and other things used for lighting and ventilation into the cave, the passage in the cave is about less than three meters high, and it is also quite spacious, enough for a dozen or so people to walk side by side. The floor inside the cave is paved with all green bricks. There are some reliefs on the side walls on both sides of the road, and the content looks like some battle deeds of Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and so on. Every ten meters on the side of the wall on both sides of the road, there is a terracotta figurine similar to the terracotta warriors, the appearance of the terracotta figurines is completely a group of soldiers, wearing armor, holding a spear in the left hand, and holding a torch or torch in the right hand, but there is a bowl-shaped thing above the torch, which is estimated to be a torch or lamp oil and other things for ignition.
The passage is about 1,000 meters long, there are a total of 200 terracotta figurines on both sides, and some of the terracotta figurines are also damaged, it is estimated that the time to prevent them is relatively long, and they are naturally decaying. At the end of the passage is a large room of about 50 square meters, and on the left wall of the room is a large relief carved with a dragon, engraved with gold lacquer in copper, shining with golden light, lifelike. On the right wall, there are profiles of various emperors since the founding of the Han Dynasty, but the profiles of Emperor Han Ling are not, it is estimated that Emperor Han Ling was killed by his wife Empress He This matter is true, otherwise Emperor Han Ling will definitely tell his successor the secret of this underground secret room, and let his successor write his own profile.
Further inside, there were several more rooms, the first of which was full of gold; The second room was full of jewelry, gold and silver utensils; The third room was full of five baht; The fourth room was full of strange weapons, like knives and swords; The fifth room was full of armor; The sixth room is full of bows and arrows and crossbows, these bows and arrows and crossbows are quite new, and it is estimated that they have only been put in for a few years, and they should still be usable.
Dong Shouye was also overjoyed to see this situation, these things are estimated to be the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty since the founding of the People's Republic of China who were afraid that their descendants would not be able to protect their foundations, or would be taken advantage of by villains, so they should be left for their descendants to restore the country and raise troops to take revenge. Those almost brand new crossbows probably haven't been in for long, which means that this underground vault has been operated for several years. It seems that the emperors of all dynasties should know about this, it is estimated that it is because Emperor Han Ling was poisoned by his wife, and he died very suddenly, and before he had time to explain these things to his son, he died.
Those brand-new crossbows should have been put in by Emperor Han Ling a few years before he died. Dong Shouye was so happy now, wouldn't these treasures have to cheapen themselves. Now it's a lot of money, these things are years of accumulation, and it is easy to make a team of elite soldiers.
Dong Shouye first arranged for someone to test whether there was a mechanism near these treasures and whether they were poisonous. After getting that there were no such messes, he arranged for someone to secretly carry and sort them out. , Rough statistics, there are more than 10,000 longbows alone, and there are nearly 5,000 strong crossbows, and these two things alone can form 15,000 crossbow soldiers.
There is also that kind of strange non-sword and non-sword thing, which is quite like the horse chopping knife of later generations, and it is estimated that it is the horse chopping sword that broke the Huns during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It seems that this sword was not cast in the same period, and some of it is about 1.2 meters long, and the rest are about 1.4 meters, with bilateral blades and nearly a foot-long hilt, which looks murderous. To say that there are more than 2,000 swords in total, and there are more than 2,000 pairs of Xuantie armor, whether you are forming heavy infantry or heavy cavalry in the future, these things can come in handy.
Dong Shouye remembered that similar horse-chopping swords were very popular when they fought against the Xiongnu during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and later defeated the Huns. After Wang Mang usurped the country, it was once popular in the process of the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiunan's expedition to the North Station, because the speed of Emperor Guangwu was relatively fast, so after the world was peaceful, this kind of heavy weapon gradually disappeared from people's field of vision. Maybe this batch of equipment was reserved from the time of Emperor Guangwu, and then the emperors of the past dynasties continued to improve their management and maintenance, and for the strong bow and hard crossbow that are easy to damage, it is estimated that the emperors of the past dynasties will replace it with the latest when they are in power, and Emperor Han Ling died violently a few years after replacing the new bow and crossbow, and as a result, he did not have time to pass the news to his son, and in the last period of his reign, the power was held by He Jin and Queen He's brothers and sisters, and in the matter of the crown prince's position, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and the brothers and sisters of the He family disagreed, so naturally they would not be willing to tell this secret to the prince Liu Wei, whom the brothers and sisters of the He family liked.
It is estimated that this Emperor Ling of Han wanted to tell this secret to his favorite Wang Meiren's son Liu Xie, but he really did not encounter a suitable opportunity.
This secret has been broken since Emperor Han Ling.
There is also a part that can basically be determined to be a knife, listening to the soldiers around me said that someone knows, this knife is also the famous ring head knife. All of these ring-headed knives are about 1.2 meters long, and the straight and narrow blades that are rough and delicate contain an unprecedented murderous aura, and the thick back of the knife will withstand the stress of the fierce slash. It's just that at the moment, only ordinary generals can have a ring-headed knife, which is really precious, and together with the ring-headed knife is a strange piece of equipment, which looks like a small shield, and some people who know this thing say that this thing is the famous hook setting. This hook inlay is a characteristic weapon of the Han Dynasty, a small iron shield for both offensive and defensive purposes. The core part is a small iron shield, with a thorn for pushing and killing protruding in the middle, and iron hooks extending from the top and bottom to hook the opponent's weapons. The Han infantry used a combination of hook inlay and ring-headed knives, which could be a good restraint against long pole weapons such as halberds. According to rough statistics, there are more than 2,000 sets of this powerful set of crochet inlay and ring head knife.
These gold copper coins, jewelry, and some of the straw ropes that string up the copper coins have been rotten and broken, and it is estimated that the emperors of the past dynasties have pulled out of their private money, after all, they are the heirlooms left to their children and grandchildren. At any time, to raise troops and restore the country, it must rely on strong military strength. It will only be easier to form a strong army when there is enough money and food. As the saying goes, a good penny is difficult for a hero, and if there is no money, there is nothing to talk about raising troops to restore the country, it is difficult to even settle down, and it is even difficult to eat and drink enough.
It seems that in the future, Dong Shouye will be able to build a strong army by himself, and then his own life will have another layer of protection.
