Chapter 809: The Tragedy of the Destruction of the Country
"How come these treasures, as if they were newly put in, are they not a little corrupted or weathered?" Yue Guanchao found from observing the treasure ships just now that these ships were a bit too new, not at all like ships that had been staying here for thousands of years, in his understanding, but all wood products were designated to have rotted by worms and beetles, and they couldn't help falling apart after walking a few steps, and judging from the situation when he went to the tomb, the changes in the wood were indeed getting more and more rotten.
This kind of almost brand new wood is not normal to say anything, and now, seeing that the treasure has no signs of corrosion and weathering at all, I feel that there is something wrong here.
Sun Daqiao pointed to these things and said: "Big nephew, there is a saying that you have to dry for a thousand years, wet for 10,000 years, and if you don't dry or wet, you will have half a year, I guess it is likely that the environment here is very special ......" The meaning of this sentence, most of the craftsmen who are fighting inverted understand what it means.
But if you come across an ancient tomb, it will be dry and dry when you dig it out, and there is no problem in preserving it for thousands of years, and fifty percent of the things can be left to the present day; If it is an ancient tomb that is completely immersed in water, it will make a lot of money, with the infiltration of water, eighty percent of the things inside can be preserved, even if it is ten thousand years later, as long as the constant humidity and water here are flooded, it can also remain intact.
I'm afraid that this place that is not dry or wet, no matter what it is, will quickly rot and decay, although it is not as short as half a year, compared with extremely dry and wet, it is indeed not so easy to preserve.
Sun Daqiao continued: "We don't know the truth, but the saying has been passed down like that, I guess that the water flow in this underground lake has slowed down, the air flow has slowed down, and because it is close to the water source, the dust in the air is mostly adsorbed in the water, so it seems relatively pure, in this special case, the treasure ship can remain the same for thousands of years." Song Siyuan interjected: "Yes, this underground lake has a lot of water that can be accommodated, and it is estimated that it is also like an otter's nest, which can be automatically adjusted when feng shui or dry water, and it can be regarded as a relatively stable environment in this underground lake, and it is not surprising that it can last for thousands of years." ”
"Hua Lao, since the treasure has been found, you want to call someone in and transport all these treasures out?" Luo Shi Niang looked at John Hua and proposed.
"Don't worry, let's continue to walk to the upper floor, maybe there is something else on the upper floor." After saying these words, Yue Guanchao and the others walked to the door, and walked up the stairs to the third floor, many rooms were not completely closed, they walked to one of the rooms, and after pushing the door open, something appeared that made people stop retreating.
"Is this a corpse?" Yue Guanchao continued to push open the other doors, although it was magnificent and gorgeously furnished, there was a hanged corpse inside, looking at the patterns and patterns of the clothes, they were all women's styles.
"How can there be hanged corpses here?" Song Siyuan carefully observed these corpses, due to the special environment of the giant ship itself, these corpses still maintained their pre-death state, their bodies were shrunk and black, but they were not rotten or missing, like completely shrunken raisins, dry and dry.
"Look at the golden crown on the top of the head, and the golden hairpin or something, I guess it was a nobleman at that time." Song Siyuan looked at the flashlight, shining on the face of the corpse, and could see the pain and unwillingness from the face full of withered folds, as if they were forced to commit suicide, as for the other rooms, the corpses were different, but their expressions were full of unwillingness.
"This is probably the concubine on the imperial ship, or the people who were captured and plundered to the ship by the golden soldiers." She turned to everyone and explained: "When the Jin soldiers broke the country, they did arrest aristocratic women, and some people were unwilling to commit themselves to the barbarians in their eyes, so they would choose to hang themselves, or commit suicide by throwing themselves into the water......" They opened the rooms on the third floor one by one, and the corpses began to appear men, women, and children, successively covering craftsmen, craftsmen, musicians, and tutors, these people either took poison or threw themselves into the army, it can be seen that these people were indeed the people of the Song Dynasty, and most of them were taken captive by these Jin soldiers and taken to the ship, ready to be taken to the north.
Song Siyuan looked around along the circular corridor, and his mind became clearer and clearer, explaining: "After the destruction of Bianjing City, the population captured by the Jin soldiers exceeded 100,000......" These people went to the north, of course, not for enjoyment, basically served as coolies in all walks of life, the Jin Kingdom did not even have a decent imperial city at that time, but all the people who were a little productive could be captured by them, so that they could accumulate enough slaves, either for cultivating fields, or for building coolies, or directly rewarded to the nobles, Made a slave ministry.
At that time, not only the people who were arrested were miserable, but even the nobles were still precarious and humiliated, Huizong and Qinzong accepted the titles of Duke of Dude and Marquis of Chong Du in order to survive, and the grievances were like house arrest in the city of the Five Kingdoms, and the concubines of the two emperors were treated only worse, as for the wives and daughters of those courtiers, it was even worse.
It was precisely because they saw the humiliating treatment of the Northern Song Dynasty royal family being escorted to the Jin State that they began to advocate the festival of death, which means that the subjects and scholars should observe the festival to death.
She said as she walked, explaining the truth about these people dying together: "At that time, in fact, the people of the Song Dynasty still thought that no matter who became the emperor, they could live in peace, nothing more than a change of dynasty. How do they know that these barbarians don't like acting at all, let alone pretending, and it is difficult to appease the people's livelihood in the face of the people, so they will only blindly plunder. "It can be said that the people of the Song Dynasty have been peaceful for a long time, bathing in the king, and they have forgotten that they are all barbarian foreigners, and when the iron cavalry of the Jin Kingdom trampled the lives of their wives and children to death, they realized that barbarians are barbarians, and they will not treat them as people, and no one will save them.
It was also the brutal rule of the Jin people that made the north degenerate into the slave age, and those who fled south could only give up their illusions and fight the Jin people to the end, lest the south also become a place of misery.
King Yue Wumu was able to gather the civil rebels to help the officials and troops fight against the Jin people, which has already shown that there is a lot of help, and without the brutality of the Jin people, there would be no heroic resistance to the enemy in the south.
In the end, she already knew what the corpse meant: "Now it seems that these corpses, most of them died in order to serve their family and country on the way to be escorted, although these people have not killed a single Jin soldier, their integrity is not inferior to the Southern Song Dynasty Righteous Army, I guess the Southern Song Dynasty Righteous Army kept these corpses as they were, completely to let future generations remember the humiliation of the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time, for them, these corpses are also heroic souls, and they are specially kept in the Heroic Soul Tomb." ”
"Of course, this is not the most tragic, the most tragic is when the Southern Song Dynasty fell." Speaking of this, Song Siyuan sighed: "During the Battle of Yashan, the official ships of the Southern Song Dynasty were chased to the sea by the enemy country, and Prime Minister Lu Xiufu saw that the general trend of the Song army's annihilation had gone, and he committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea with the young emperor Zhao Yu on his back...... "Not long after they jumped into the sea, many loyal ministers and eunuchs, soldiers, and palace people also followed, counting, there were 100,000 soldiers and civilians who jumped into the sea and died in the sea.
