Chapter 440: If you can't find the river, you will find the tomb

"Rig."

……

"Probe."

……

"Speculum."

……

The team members were methodical, and after a short time, the probe went down to the tomb.

Li Ding'an took a look, and disappointment arose: the roof of the tomb had collapsed long ago, the tomb was full of sand, and the coffin and burial were buried tightly.

So what a fart?

After pondering for a while, Li Dingan waved his hand: "Close!" ”

"Huh?"

The players looked at each other.

They followed Li Ding'an and found many tombs: the Liao Dynasty Xiao Tomb Group in Qinglong Mountain, the Ming Dynasty King Jin Zhong Tomb in Huolin, and the Northern Wei Tomb, Xianbei Tomb and Turkic Tomb in Alxa.

But the tomb of the Han Dynasty is really the first time I have encountered it.

And it's so big, it's a shame not to probe.

"The roof of the tomb has collapsed, and there is no second way except to dig deeper." Li Ding'an patiently explained: "So I can only find the ruins first, and then talk about it when I come back." ”

So what else can be done?

The team members nodded their heads.

"Teacher Li, whose tomb will it be?"

"The tomb of thousands of square meters is at least the twenty-four kings of the Huns. Look at the geographical location again: the eastern foot of Yanran Mountain, the upper reaches of the Wengjin River, this should be the territory of the twelve kings on the right, and it is estimated that the tomb owner is one of them......"

"The King's Tomb?"

"Or else? The Chinese tomb is the emperor's tomb, and the Jiazi tomb is the king's wait, from Shang to Tang, it has always been the characteristics of this kind of tomb. ”

"But...... This is the tomb of the Huns? ”

Li Dingan turned his head and realized Fan Rong who was speaking.

Let's just say that I am a professional in archaeology, how can I ask such a layman's topic.

"Sima Qian's historical record: the Xiongnu from the Han customs...... From the founding monarch Tou Mandanyu, the Xiongnu nobles were buried according to Han customs...... The largest tombs in Mongolia, Gaodu No. 1 and No. 2, all the large tombs excavated are of this kind of Jiazi tomb......"

"Haha...... Han people are so stakes! ”

"Don't be proud, people have never been soft when they kill and rob Han people......"

Fan Rong stopped squeaking.

"Clean up the traces and go!"

There are not many traces, just the hole opened by the drilling rig, and a few shovels can be done.

After packing up their tools, they got into the car, and half an hour later, the car drove into Mandal Ao Bao County, located on the west bank of the Ongin River.

This is the northernmost part of South Gobi Province, and there are only more than 3,000 people in the whole county, and most of them are herders, scattered in various pastures. It stands to reason that there are very few people in the county, so the construction is naturally not very good.

But unexpectedly, it was very prosperous.

The building is very new, there are all kinds of shops, the roadside is full of handicrafts, and there are many tourists.

It's early spring, but low-cut skirts and black stockings are everywhere...... Li Ding'an looked cold.

Because there are many ruins nearby: 30 kilometers to the southeast is the site of "Dou Xian Yanran Legong", and more than 50 kilometers to the north is the site of the Winter Palace in the Wokotai period, also known as the porcelain city.

The floor is full of broken porcelain pieces: white glaze, black glaze, engraved glaze, black flower, Jun glaze, peacock blue glaze, red and green color, gelatinized porcelain, as well as Longquan celadon, Jingde white porcelain, and even blue and white porcelain...... There is no type of porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty that cannot be found here.

In the first few years, Mongolia's customs control was not strict, and many domestic backpackers came here to pick up porcelain pieces, and many of them made a fortune. Including now, more than 40% of the tourists in Mandal Ao Bao are Chinese, followed by South Korea and Japan......

Therefore, there are many Chinese-style hotels and Chinese restaurants, but the consumption is not low.

After entering the room, Li Ding'an called Bart again and confirmed the itinerary: tomorrow he will explore the Kur Lake at the end of Onkin, and then he will have to move.

If you don't give advance notice, the dead fat man will definitely be able to grind for two days......

……

The sun rises in the east, and the wind is beautiful.

The sky is reflected, the lake is like a mirror, the breeze is blowing, the water is shining, and it shines like a jewel.

The long river is like a jade belt, injected into it, and the green stars on both sides of the river.

Further south, the eyes are full of desolation.

The Onjin River is over.

Li Ding'an laid the drawings on the hood, and two paleogeography professors from the Mongolian National University pointed to the drawings and grunted.

"Forty kilometers further south, is Bulgan County (belonging to South Gobi Province) at the northern foot of the Gobi Altai Mountains, and in the nineties, Lake Ulan was still there, and that was the end of the Ongin River."

Li Ding'an was noncommittal: it was indeed the end of the Wengjin River, but only in the Qing Dynasty and later.

"Qing Unification Chronicles: Khalkha": It originates from the southeast mountains (southeast foot of Hangai Mountain) near the source of the Orkun River, flows more than 700 miles in the southeast, and ends at Huerha Orunbo (Ulan Lake).

But in the Yuan Dynasty, it was necessary to flow farther: Hangai Mountain Ailu was forty-five minutes eastward, the source was called the water, the southeast flowed, and the flat land was more than 900 miles.

Continue to push forward, "Zizhi Tongjian": Lishui is in Mobei and flows through Junji Mountain...... The so-called Junji Mountain refers to the remnants of the Altai Mountains, the middle section of the present-day Gobi Altai Mountains, only 150 kilometers away from the border.

The clue to the water was also found: the Tuwura River, a tributary of the present-day Orkhon River, was regarded by the Mongols as "the land of the ancestors".

The farther part of this river: the Amulin River (Wengjin River) flows 700 li to the southeast, and flows more than 300 li to the southeast and flows eastward, and more than 100 li, there is a salty spring flowing into this in the south, turning to the northwest and flowing into the sudden spring.

No matter how Li Ding'an calculated, the southernmost point of this river is less than 50 kilometers away from the border.

It's a pity that it is worse than the Weng Jin River, which has been dried up for most of the time, and the current length is less than a quarter of the Yuan Dynasty.

Now, you can only find a way to find the ancient river site, and then follow the ancient river channel to the south, and there is a high probability that you can find a third feng shui site.

It is not easy to estimate: after all, it has been buried in the sand for hundreds of years, and the river has long been gone.

But Li Ding'an thinks that it should not be too difficult: if you can't find the river, you can find something else.

The first is to find the route of the Northern Wei Dynasty's several northern expeditions to Rouran, and the second is to find the route of the Western Han Dynasty's northern expedition to the Xiongnu.

Or to put it more simply: directly look for the site of the dragon city in various periods of the Xiongnu, as well as the nearby noble tombs, and you can naturally find the ancient water.

"The Biography of the Huns in the Han Book": Shan Yuting Zhidai, Yunzhong...... This is the period of Fingerman and Mao Dunshan, and historians have long verified it: it is at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: The Han army marched north, the Xiongnu fled far away, and there was no royal court in the south of the desert.

When he arrived at the Yuan Emperor of the Han Dynasty, he moved to the south of the water: the Yuan Emperor ascended the throne at the beginning of the year, and the Han evil single returned to the Han Dynasty, all in Junji Mountain......

Later, to the grandson of Hu Evil Shan Yu, the Xiongnu were in civil strife again, divided into the Southern Xiongnu and the Northern Xiongnu, the Southern Xiongnu returned to the Han and moved to the south of Yinshan, and the Northern Xiongnu moved north year by year.

There are tombs in the city: for example, the Gaodu No. 2 tomb in Wendu Wulan County, Houhangai Province, which is now excavated, the Sanliancheng ruins and surrounding tombs 60 kilometers to the south, and the Gaodu No. 1 tomb 90 kilometers to the south, etc., have been verified to be the Shan Yuting ruins of the Northern Xiongnu during the northward migration......

The ancient river is not easy to find, and the ruins of the ancient city may not be easy to find, but if it is said that the tomb is found, Li Ding'an is still a little sure...... (End of chapter)
