Shi Dakai, nicknamed Shi Dangdang, was born in March 1831 – June 27, 1863 in Guixian County, Guangxi Province, with his ancestral home in Heping County, Guangdong Province. Shi Dakai was one of the main generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and a famous military, politician, revolutionary, strategist, martial artist, poet, and calligrapher in modern China. In December 1851, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was established in Yong'an, and Shi Dakai was enfeoffed as the "Wing King 5,000 Years Old". In 1857, he was awarded the title of "Wing King of the Left Army", and after the Tianjing Incident, he was named "Wing King of the Main General of the Holy Spirit Telegraph Army". Shi Dakai was one of the most legendary figures in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who was interviewed in the mountains at the age of sixteen, commanded thousands of troops and horses at the age of nineteen, was crowned the King of Wings at the age of twenty, and bravely volunteered in Chengdu at the age of thirty-two. His life was vigorous, sympathetic to the people's livelihood, and his life deeds were praised by future generations, which was "the most perfect image of the peasant uprisings in China's past dynasties".

Zeng Guofan and Shi Dakai fought for the first time, and in the autumn of 1854, they fought in Jiujiang and Hukou in Sichuan, which opened a protracted battle, which was also Shi Dakai's "most brilliant" one. In 1861, The Heavenly King Erxin, the Exterminator, the Prince of Xue, Shi Dakai was forced to leave Beijing, from the north and south of Guizhou, in early 1862 through Hubei into Sichuan, crossed the Yangtze River, captured Chengdu, established the Sichuan base area, Shi Dakai turned to sichuan and Qiandian three provinces, and finally in April 1863, the soldiers crossed the Jinsha River without bloodshed and broke through the Yangtze River defense line. In May, the Taiping Army reached the Dadu River, and at this time the Taiping Army had 30,000 or 40,000 people according to Luo Bingzhang's manuscript. There were no Qing troops on the other side, and Shi Dakai ordered more boat rafts to be prepared and crossed the river the next day, but that night it rained heavily, and the river swelled, making it impossible to sail. Three days later, the Qing troops defending the eastern line of the Dadu River came to the opposite bank, and the Taiping Army was blocked by the early rise of the Dadu River, which had not been encountered in a hundred years, and repeatedly failed to rush the crossing, ran out of grain and grass, and fell into a desperate situation. Wang Songlin, the capital of the Nanzi camp, went to the Taiping military camp to negotiate, and Shi Dakai decided to give up his life to the entire three armies. After being escorted to Chengdu, the Qing army betrayed its faith and attacked Dashu Fort at night, and All of Shi Dakai's old troops were killed, and none of them were spared. Since then, Shi Dakai's unit has disappeared, and along with the disappearance is the weight on which this unit is supported. After the Qing army destroyed Shi Dakaibu, they also bothered to search for it, but in the end they all returned to no avail. Then after the defeat of Shi Dakai, whether there is any gold and silver jewelry and other things left behind, there are many opinions, folk legend is that there is a treasure left, but do not know where, but word of mouth, a "backed by the mountains and water, treasure in it" saying.
So the point of the conversation is, if the treasure is real, then where will the treasure be hidden?. In fact, in 1961, after Shi Dakai was forced to leave Beijing, he felt that the road ahead would be very difficult, and he may have left a back hand after attacking Qingyuan Province, the land of Bagui, he had stayed in Qingyuan Province for several months, he was actually a defeated general at that time, and there was no reserve force, the destination was Sichuan, according to the reason, it should be a general who passed the pass, and it was only right to swing the army straight, why did he still have Yaxing to stay in the barren Qingyuan Province, play in the mountains, and write poetry and painting?

Qingyuan Province folk rumors, he once had a small hair, before he left the mountain, uprooted, exiled in a remote village in Qingyuan Province, Shi Dakai has visited privately several times, so the world knows very little, after going out of the mountain, he went east and west to discuss, quit his horse career, afraid of the incident involving old friends, so he suspended the exchange, he was forced to leave Beijing, he felt that this time must be more fierce and less auspicious, so when he stayed in Qingyuan Province, he may be planning a retreat.
A hundred years later, an old farmer in the village of Qingyuan, because of a dilapidated letter, looking for a mountain and digging a hole, in a land of water and mountains, exhausted his life's energy, just to dig out the legendary treasure, and finally returned to the old dead village, although he did not find the treasure he dreamed of in his heart, but his descendants sent out an important message, a letter of entrustment from Shi Dakai's hand, the letter read: "My brother Huode, shangli a difference, has been separated by three autumns, the joy of the year, such as the scene of yesterday, Nai Kai is heavily responsible, Shun Tian's will for the dawn of the dawn of the old life, today Wang Erxin, the emperor of the throne, the prince of the qin, the regime fell apart, in order to seek self-protection, retreated to the land of the eight gui, the army was brave, the road ahead was rough, the self-murder was more than auspicious, there were three boxes left, more than twenty soldiers were dispatched, they went to your safe house, hoped for brother to protect himself, waited for him to make a comeback, and was sure to thank his brother and brother kai. Xin Younian 癸巳月癸卯日". In just a few words, it was a crazy message, what the three boxes of weight at that time were, gold and silver jewelry, or weapons and knives, now there is no way to know.
The provenance of the picture is unknown
After more than 10 years of sporadic circulation in remote villages, this information slowly faded out of people's ears due to the death of the old farmer, and the information did not know whether it was true or false, but it troubled the old farmer for a lifetime. So if this information is true, this old farmer must be the descendant of the twenty soldiers or the one named Kaide, because the letter does not mention the place where the water is backed by the mountain, and the place where he dug the hole can be so in line with the saying that the world has spread that the face of the water is backed by the mountain. Shi Dakai's last defeat was somewhere in Sichuan, where the Qing army had camped at the end of Shi Dakai, with a radius of more than ten miles, digging three feet into the ground, and finding nothing. Therefore, the legend of Shi Dakai's treasure is very likely to really exist in some unknown place.
