The history of each dynasty has recorded some mysterious treasures.
For example, when we think of the Yuan Dynasty, we think of the treasure that Genghis Khan hid in his mausoleum. When we think of the Ming Dynasty, we think of the treasures left by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. In fact, the Qing Dynasty is no exception, and in the wild history of the Qing Dynasty, there is also a mysterious treasure.
It is said that this treasure was the countless real gold and silver that Nurhaci led the Manchus to plunder outside the Guan. In that year, after the Manchus entered the customs, they once ordered that the Han people should not be allowed to enter the Liaodong region. This inevitably made people think that they were hiding something in Liaodong, so the suspicion that the Qing emperor had buried a treasure in Hetuala spread throughout the country.
Nomads have an innate sense of reserve, and in their view, belongings, like food, must be stored regularly. Therefore, some people speculate that this treasure was secretly transported to their capital at that time, Hetuala, and hid it in an ancient well, which was called "Khan King's Well" by the Manchus at that time.
Hetuala, the city was founded in the thirty-first year of the Ming Dynasty (1603), was the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, and the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty. Also known as Xingjing, Hetuala, Hetuala or Black Baldala, manchu means "Henggang". As the origin of Manchu civilization, it is located about 4 kilometers east of the town of Yongling in Fushun, Liaoning Province, on the south bank of the Suzi River.
The Khan King Well, located in the middle of Hetuala, is the only well in the city. Since its existence, it has been used as a living and agricultural water by the military and civilians in the city, and it has not dried up for more than three hundred years, so it has the reputation of "thousands of troops and horses drinking". And because Nurhaci established his own regime "Khan" in the city, this well was named "Khan King Well".
So, under the well of the Khan King, is there a legendary treasure?
This starts with Princess Abhay. Abhay was the later Empress Xiaoliewu, of the Uranara clan, who in 1601 married Nurhaci as a side Fujin, and after the death of Empress Xiaocigao, she was made the Great Fujin, the head of the Fu jin, at the age of 14, the Mandate of Heaven was five years old, and was abandoned by Nurhaci after being betrayed by Concubine Deinze and was abandoned by Nurhaci, who was forced to be martyred for eleven years after the Golden Mandate of Heaven was somehow forced to be martyred at the age of 37.
It is said that Abhay gave birth to Nurhaci's fourteenth crown prince, Dorgon, one of the most famous statesmen of the Qing Dynasty. Nurhaci's favorite son was this son, and after that, Dorgon made a remarkable contribution to the Manchu accession to the Central Plains. However, during Nurhaci's lifetime, a true prince was not established. Therefore, after his death, Huang Taiji took the seal of the Khan King in his own hands.
In addition, because the Manchus are the descendants of the Jurchens, they advocate the respect of strength. At that time, the strength of Huang Taiji was indeed far superior to that of Dolgun, so Huang Taiji successfully took over the throne. After Emperor Taiji ascended the throne, he was eyeing the treasure that existed outside the guan, but he did not know the exact location where the treasure was buried.
At this time, Nurhaci was also dead, and the only person who knew the exact point was Abhay. Huang Taiji was afraid of leaking the wind, so he threatened Aba hai, who had been silent, probably: "If you don't say where the treasure is, then you go with the first king." However, what Huang Taiji did not expect was that Aba Hai was not afraid, but chose the path of martyrdom.
Abhay, who was in charge of the treasury, was dead, and it seemed that no one knew exactly where the treasure was hidden. However, Emperor Taiji was unwilling to give up this low-hanging fruit of the treasure, so he had the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs tortured to extract confessions. Under his coercion and inducement, in the end, he asked where the treasure was buried.
After Huang Taiji received the news of the treasure, he kept sending people to the secret passage leading to the Khan King's Well in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to search for where the treasure was buried. During this time, he sent two search teams from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Khan King's Well to find the treasure. What he didn't expect, however, was that the two search teams he had sent in had lost contact with the ground, and the rope used to deliver the message did not know when it had been bitten off by some animal.
However, Huang Taiji was still not dead-hearted, so he sent some people to search, but in the end, there was no news.
Faced with this situation, Emperor Taiji became angry and ashamed, and ordered to dig three feet into the ground to find the buried treasure, and there was a great appearance of not giving up until the goal was achieved. Who knows, the soldiers were just about to dig, when the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the clear and cloudless sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. At the same time, a thick plume of smoke poured out of the Khan King's well. After the smoke, a shadow resembling Abahai emerged from the well, scaring Huang Taiji out of his body.
At this time, only a voice could be heard angrily reprimanding Emperor Taiji for seeing wealth and forgetting righteousness and not thinking of making progress, and told him: "This batch of treasures is the fortune of the country of the Qing Dynasty, which will bless the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty and the eternal survival of the country and the mountains..." Faced with this situation, the panicked Emperor Taiji immediately knelt down, saluted the well, and swore to heaven that he would never seek the whereabouts of these treasures again.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky cleared and everything returned to normal. What was even more surprising was that the former wellhead passage and the secret passage of the Inner Affairs Bureau also disappeared without a trace at the moment when the dark clouds dissipated. Since then, the exact location of the treasure has never been known, and the whereabouts of the treasure have become more confusing.
Later, each generation of Qing rulers only knew that the Qing Dynasty buried a batch of treasures outside guanwai, but no one knew where this treasure was hidden.
It is said that during the Guangxu period, when the Eight-Nation Alliance army marched into the Forbidden City, the Guangxu Emperor gave a scroll to Kou Shixiong, the second-class bodyguard of the Inner Court, before fleeing, and explained that it was a treasure map that could save the Qing Dynasty, and only the emperors of previous dynasties had it. The Guangxu Emperor feared that Empress Dowager Cixi would take him away, so he handed over the treasure map to Kou Shixiong at this critical juncture, and ordered him to return to kanto in anonymity to find the dragon vein and treasure of the Great Qing Dynasty.
Today, the Qing Dynasty is also buried in the dust of history.
However, some people have asserted that although the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, its treasure hidden outside the Guan still existed, and due to the long time, no one could find the exact burial place of the treasure from the remaining history books. However, there are also people who doubt the authenticity of this treasure, from their point of view, the Rulers of the Qing Dynasty experienced so many difficulties during their reign, if there is such a treasure, how can they not dig it out?
Therefore, when there is no clear historical data to prove the existence of this treasure, everyone still regards it as a legend.
