Volume 5 The Lost Shadow of the Beidou Chapter 85 The Lost Trace of the Beidou

A group of tourists is following a young tour guide into the Jinling Museum.

The tour guide smiled and said, "Let me ask you a simple question first, what is the difference between the Jinling Museum and the museum?" ”

The tourists suddenly asked, hey, by the way, why is one called "courtyard" and the other called "pavilion".

"Is it that the museum was occupied first, and the latter name is not worth it?"

Everyone laughed, and the tour guide smiled brightly.

She said: "This is really similar for tourists, Jinling Museum is in the Zhongshan Gate Mid-Levels Park, formerly known as the Central Museum, a national museum during the Republic of China, after the liberation, called the center, it is definitely not appropriate, so it is called Jinling Museum, continue to be called the museum." ”

Another tourist asked: "How many treasures are collected here in this museum, what are the good things?" ”

"Many, Jinling Museum has more than 100,000 pieces of various collections, from the Paleolithic Age to the contemporary; There are not only palace heirlooms, but also archaeological excavations, all of which are treasures of all dynasties and treasures that have attracted the attention of academic circles at home and abroad. In particular, one of China's national treasures, Yuan Qinghua Han Xin Yuexia Chasing Han Xin is treasured on the third floor, which is one of the best national treasures in China......

How precious is Yuan Qinghua, at last year's London auction, a large jar of Yuan Qinghua called "Guiguzi Descending the Mountain" was auctioned to a sky-high price of 230 million yuan. And the artistic value and volume of this piece are much higher than the blue and white flowers of Guiguzi Xiashan Yuan, and it has long been jokingly said by industry experts that it will not be sold even if it bids for one billion yuan. ”

The tour guide smiled and introduced, "This treasure is one of the most well-preserved blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty with the highest artistic value among the blue and white porcelain unearthed so far." In order to prevent imitation, this piece of Yuan blue and white can only be displayed in public on one side and cannot be weighed, because the weight of the porcelain is also an important data for identifying the authenticity of the porcelain......"

"Since there are so many treasures, how can this broken scabbard still hang in the hall, it is still empty, and the sword is not ......," one tourist questioned.

The female guide explained: "This is indeed not a treasure, but it has a mysterious story, so the museum has placed it in the hall on the second floor...... This is the scabbard of the famous Big Dipper Sword in history, but the sword was lost, which is a pity. It is said that the Big Dipper Sword is a treasure in ancient China, and some people say that it contains the secret of a treasure, and legend has it that the emperor at the end of the Yuan Dynasty hid their treasure in a mountain, hoping to make a comeback one day and return to the Central Plains Continent......"

The Big Dipper Seven-Star Sword, referred to as the Seven Star Sword, was once the beloved object of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Qianlong was the sixth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and in addition to being the emperor who held the highest power for the longest time in Chinese history, he was also one of the longest-lived emperors, but even he could not unlock the secret of the Seven Star Sword until his death, so Qianlong decided to bury him with him after his death.

So, the seven-star sword was also buried with Emperor Qianlong, and the seven-star sword could be placed in the ground peacefully forever, but I didn't expect the tomb robbers to be rampant, and the tomb of Qianlong, including the Beidou sword, was stolen by tomb robbers, and had to start the experience of being displaced.

This is to mention Sun Dianying, one of the warlords of the Republic of China, this kid is bold. On July 2, 1928, Sun Dianying surrounded the Qingdong Mausoleum in Zunhua County, Hebei Province in the name of exercises, dug up the two tombs of Cixi and Qianlong overnight, looted the gold, silver and jewelry that accompanied the burial, and returned to the station with 20 carts.

The stupid Sun Dianying also publicized this incident as his own merit. A month later, Nanjing's "Central Daily" reported on the front page the news of "the tragic situation of the bandit army digging and robbing Tanglin," which shocked the whole country. People from all walks of life strongly demanded that Sun Dianying be brought to justice. At this time, Sun Dianying panicked, he used the stolen goods obtained from the robbery of the tomb to go around the powerful people of the dynasty, gave the two largest pearls of the Qianlong Dynasty to Dai Li, gave the jewel in Cixi's mouth to Song Meiling, and gave the "golden jade watermelon" to Song Ziwen.

After some dotting, the matter of strong legal action will naturally be gone. Ten years later, the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Sun Dianying, who had no military power, was in Beiping and made friends with the Japanese, but he was afraid that after the defeat of the Japanese, he would be settled by Lao Jiang as a traitor, so he handed over the most precious Big Dipper Sword to the military commander in Beiping.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the army was in chaos and the channel was blocked, and after receiving this information, Dai Li ordered Ma Hansan to try to send the sword to Chongqing and present it to Lao Jiang.

But Ma Hansan knew that this Big Dipper Sword was priceless and had been coveted for a long time, and he still wanted to take advantage of the war situation, looking for opportunities to take it for himself, and did not act immediately under the pretext of dragging the current situation chaotic.

However, unexpectedly, in 1940, when Ma Hansan was active in Zhangjiakou, he was arrested by the Japanese army.

After Ma Hansan fell into the hands of the Japanese secret service, in order to survive, he confessed all the information he knew, and in order to survive, he also found Kawashima. Fangzi, who sacrificed the priceless seven-star sword, was secretly released by the Japanese secret service, returned to the Kuomintang military command, continued to be responsible for the work of the Beiping military command, and lurked.

After the surrender of the Japanese, Ma Hansan, who always paid attention to the whereabouts of the sword, learned that the sword was hidden in the great spy Kawashima at the moment. After Yoshiko was at home in Beiping, she quickly arrested Kawashima. Yoshiko, and retrieved the sword from her home.

After Dai Li arrived in Beiping, the first thing he did was to go to the First Prison to interrogate Kawashima. Yoshiko.

Kawashima in prison. Fangzi told a secret that shocked Dai Li: it turned out that Ma Hansan, the head of the Beiping Station of the Military Command, had been arrested and betrayed during the Anti-Japanese War. Yoshiko's house looted a seven-star sword that had been sacrificed during the mutiny. Dai Kasa from Kawashima. After Fangzi received this unexpected news, she immediately conducted a further secret investigation of Ma Hansan. After Ma Hansan found out that the matter was revealed, in order to save his life, he took the initiative to hand over the sword to Dai Li, and also gave Dai Li a lot of gold and silver treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Dai Li's kindness was a thought, and he let him go for the time being. When he got the Big Dipper Sword, he didn't dare to hide his secrets, and was ready to return to Nanjing to give it to Lao Jiang.

That is, March 17, 1946, which was an ordinary day, but for the military commanders, the sky fell.

On the same day, Dai Li, with the seven-star sword, set off from Qingdao and flew directly to Nanjing to prepare to face Jiang. Unexpectedly, the plane crashed headlong into Daishan Mountain in Jiangning, destroying the plane and killing people, and the fire burned for several hours. Shen Zui, one of the leaders of the military command, went to collect the funeral in person, but he reported to the director Mao Renfeng that he did not find the sword, only its scabbard......

The Big Dipper Sword is gone again! But the military commander didn't dare to squeak to the outside world, but secretly launched a search plan, codenamed Operation 317, which was personally responsible for Shen Zui, and naturally there was nothing.

Dai Li's death is a mystery, some say it was due to the weather, the weather was bad, and the plane was out of control; Some people say that Lao Jiang thinks that he has been following for too long, knows too many secrets, and needs to disappear; However, the military commander suspected that Ma Hansan had put a small bomb on the plane in retaliation. Because, as long as the sword is in the hands of Lao Chiang, the record of Ma Hansan's surrender to the Japanese cannot be hidden. Ma Hansan knows this......

Even, some people wonder if this Big Dipper Sword was drunk and hidden by the first big spy to arrive at the scene......

Shen Zui was ordered by Lao Jiang to put the sword scabbard and Dai Li's remains into the coffin and transport them back to the Zhigong Hall of Linggu Temple for temporary storage.

A few months later, Lao Jiang personally chose a slope with a small pond on the west side of the beamless hall and buried Dai Li.

Because Dai Li had killed many Communists and progressives, and fearing reprisals, before the Kuomintang evacuated Jinling, as a descendant of Dai Li, Shen Zui personally ordered Dai Li's tombstone to be removed.

Drunken fears soon became a reality, and in the spring of 1951, the tomb of Dai Li, who could not be hidden, was uncovered and quickly razed to the ground by the revolutionary masses. Thus, there is this scabbard of the sword that is currently in the museum.

……

More and more tourists gathered in front of the scabbard.

"According to historical records, after the opening of the museum, what appeared in front of you was a red lacquered wooden coffin." A young female tour guide of a group was slowly introducing her group customers: "After the coffin was opened, when the cultural preservation unit arrived, they found that in addition to the remains of Dai Li, there was only a deformed pistol, a leather heel, and the scabbard of the seven-star sword. “
