The treasure here was excavated hundreds of years after the Ming Dynasty, as described in the Dragon Gate Flying Armor, when China's last feudal dynasty ran out of oil. The excavator of the treasure is naturally not the "factory master" and the jianghu master of the East Factory and the West Factory, but an explorer from a foreign country.
In the Gobi desert on the east bank of the Omne River in the territory of Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia, there is the ruins of an ancient city in Western Xia.
When people come to this sparsely populated and sandy place, they can not only enjoy the unique scenery of the desert, but sometimes even hear a long-standing story of the ancient city:
When a Mongol general built The City of Blackwater here, and then he tried to usurp power and seize the throne, the result was the East Window Incident, besieged by a large army, he gathered the last strength to prepare for the breakthrough, ordered the people to throw the city's gold and silver treasures into a well, buried deep underground, and then he led his men and horses to kill a bloody road to break through.
The historical records that can be found in the historical materials are more western Xia history and Yuan history:
The city was an important town of the Western Xia Dynasty during the Song Dynasty in China, and Heishui City was pronounced "Ejina" in The Western Xia language, because Heishui City was a reuse pass on the ancient Silk Road, and it was also the only way and transportation hub for the Hexi Corridor to the Desert North Grassland. In 1286 AD, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, established the "Yiji Nai Road Governor's Office" in this city, after more than 700 years, Heishui City is still the most magnificent and well-preserved ancient city ruins on the ancient Silk Road, and it is a veritable treasure city.
The blackwater city in the most popular IP of the tomb robbery series, "Ghost Blowing Lights", has countless treasures and heavy organs, causing the soul of the lieutenant to cut off the city.
There are few historical accounts of Blackwater City, but there are many claims that it contains a large number of treasures. Does Blackwater Really Harbor Huge Wealth?
It is a shame to say, perhaps because the grave robbers in the history of our country are inferior to others, and all the calm here has been broken by a gold-touching lieutenant from Russia.
At the beginning of the 20th century, some greedy tomb robbers abroad, coveting China's thousands of years of national treasures, under the guise of archaeology, came one after another. They frantically stolen Androoted China's national treasures, stealing all that they could steal, and destroying all that they couldn't, the most notorious of which was a tomb robber Kozlov from Russia.
In 1909, after Kozlov bribed the Mongol prince under the guise of inspecting wild animals, he stole 10 large boxes of Chinese priceless treasures such as gold and silver treasures, Buddha statues, Persian scrolls, Islamic scriptures, Western Xia documents and paintings in half a month.
Kozlov, a greedy thief, carried out a second excavation from June 4 to 12, 1909, destroying more than 30 mausoleums and stupas in Blackwater City, and excavating cultural relics and treasures that were much richer than the first time in quantity and quality left Blackwater City, and they were all destroyed if they could not take them.
In 1926, Kozlov carried out a third excavation of Blackwater. So, how many treasures did this Russian gold lieutenant steal?
All I can say is: there are countless of them. Until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, it was not finished, it took nearly a century, and it is still continuing to be sorted out, which shows that the huge number of cultural relics and documents in this batch is really painful for the people of China.
The first foreign grave robber to be expelled, the Englishman Stein
Tomb robbery, if it is Chinese can be punished, if it is a foreign thief, what to do? This situation was encountered during the Republic of China.
During the British Third Expedition to Central Asia (around 1925), the British stole a lot of antiquities from Turpan and had to be carried by 50 camels. But here, Stein's excavations were stopped by the local government. Stein had to give up for the time being and move to the desert of the Kuruktag Mountains to the south, where Stein declared, "Only in the desert will no one care about me." ”
After entering China for the last time (the Fourth Central Asian Expedition, 1930), he was expelled by the Republic of China - Stein became the first foreign tomb robber in history to be expelled by the Chinese government for tomb robbery, and the only one so far, which became his lifelong regret and adventure shame!
The tomb robbery of Guan Yu's daughter-in-law - the Frenchman Segeland
Zhaohua, known as Ye Meng in ancient times, is by far the best-preserved ancient city of the Three Kingdoms in China, and there are two Three Kingdoms tombs outside Zhaohua City - one is the tomb of Fei You, and the other is the tomb of Bao Sanniang (Bao Sanniang's husband is Guan Yu's third son Guan Suo).
In June 1914, the Frenchman Xie Geland came to the ancient city of Zhaohua in Sichuan. Shegeland said he was an archaeologist, but he was actually a grave robber dressed in the guise of legality.
Xie Gelan led the people to set up a few tents near bao Sanniang's tomb, and just began to dig the grave, the village chief of Quhuiba (the village where the purpose was located) got the news, and he led hundreds of ordinary people with scythes, hoes, and large fire forks, and angrily asked Xie Gelan to settle the account.
Xie Gelan pulled out the archaeological certificate and even said that he was a researcher, not a tomb robber. The village chief of Quhuiba sneered:
"I don't care what you are, I want to dig a tomb, I want to archaeology, I want to go back to your own hometown to dig, I want to dig bao Sanniang's tomb in Quhuiba Village, there is no door!"
Domineering old man, I give you a thumbs up! But why didn't the French lieutenant steal the tomb?
Text manuscript
In fact, it is just a crown tomb of Fei Yu, and since it has been a tomb, it has been stolen at least three or four times.
