Chapter 1374 Three Great Treasures of the Late Ming Dynasty
To borrow a particularly famous saying, let’s talk about the state of playing with jade, that is: “What you play with jade is the jade itself, not the name of the jade”.

In the foreseeable future, all yellow nephrite will be called "Hetian topaz".

This is determined by the laws of the market, so there is no need to worry about Huang Yu's name, and it is only natural for Huang Yu to step down from the altar.

After all, after all, the only thing that can guarantee "topaz" in the narrow sense is almost only the products of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and modern topaz seeds.

And how many topaz on these altars are there now?

As the saying goes, "When the emperor is gone, so is the topaz." This is what is said.

But this time, Chen Wenzhe got it by accident. It can be said that he is extremely lucky to have such a batch of topaz in the narrow sense.

If the value of this batch of topaz is purely calculated by money, maybe this batch of topaz is the most valuable item in his harvest.

Now, what he is most curious about is how this batch of topaz ended up on a merchant ship and was dragged to the ink pad.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe used backtracking without hesitation.

However, simply looking at a treasure, such as a piece of jade, can get too little information.

Looking at the raw materials of jade, the information obtained is less, and it is not as good as a carved jade.

But one thing is certain, this batch of topaz is indeed from the court, and it is from the Ming court.

However, the information obtained is a bit scattered, and what is going on specifically needs to be understood carefully.

In this way, Chen Wenzhe had more things to do.

For a single thing, what he can see most is the time when the thing appeared, arrived at the bottom of the sea, and was salvaged out of the water by him.

Then it seems that it is not easy for him to obtain information about the owners of these treasures.

Of course, if you go back a lot, you will definitely be able to see some useful information.

However, with the combination of countless and complicated information, he couldn't understand it at all for a while.

Even watching too much directly made Chen Wenzhe more anxious and confused.

In this way, Chen Wenzhe lived a fulfilling life in the following days.

He researched and repaired the treasures salvaged from the water during the day, and traced these treasures at night.

Because there are too many things to go back this time, and the historical period to be said is too long, so I can only go back and forth.

Day by day passed, knowing that half a month later, Chen Wenzhe was about to reach the outer sea of ​​Dahai City, and Chen Wenzhe summed up some useful information.

"It's strange this time, it actually involves the three legendary treasures?"

A lot of ancient jades were discovered before, all of which were colored, which made Chen Wenzhe suspect that some of the jades and porcelains here were probably obtained from tomb robbers.

And some of them belonged to the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. If these things were in peacetime, foreign merchant ships would definitely not be able to get them, let alone in large quantities.

But what about times of war?
So when was the most chaotic Ming Dynasty?It must have been during the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

Who is making trouble during this period?Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng?
In fact, it is not, the biggest rebels are Manchus!

When they rebelled, they killed several kings of the Ming Dynasty, and finally added several emperors.

There was even an unlucky prince who was not only confiscated of his family property, but also boiled and eaten.

Some of the treasures of the Ming Dynasty that Chen Wenzhe got this time came from these unlucky people.

Therefore, among the treasures he got, there were Zhang Xianzhong's and Li Zicheng's, and most of them should have been snatched from Li Zicheng.

After all, Li Zicheng once captured the capital at that time, so he got more royal treasures of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that this batch of treasures did not come from Zhang Xianzhong's or Li Zicheng's treasures, but should be part of the Manchu treasures.

Because whether it was Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, or some princes and grandchildren of the Ming Dynasty, they were all killed by the Qing Dynasty in the end.

It needs to be emphasized here that at the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the three most famous treasures in China were the treasures of Zhang Xianzhong, Chen Yin and Li Zicheng, and the treasures of Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

The three most famous treasures in the late Ming Dynasty are not legends, because some of them have now been confirmed,

In particular, Zhang Xianzhong's treasures in Jiangkou Shenyin have been cleared and excavated several times, and almost all of them should have been dug out.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the peasants revolted, the Manchus entered the customs, and various forces rose one after another, which can be described as turbulent.

Of course, there are more natural and man-made disasters, and the war makes the common people miserable.

Because of the one after another scramble by various forces, there have been allusions one after another, which can also be called legends.

For example, there are three most famous legends about treasures in the late Ming Dynasty.

The first is Zhang Xianzhong Chen Yin. However, among the treasures obtained by Chen Wenzhe, although some are from Zhang Xianzhong's treasure, they are definitely not Chen Yin treasure.

Zhang Xianzhong can be said to be well-known in history, and he was obviously the most controversial figure in the late Ming Dynasty.

Because it is said that he is very cruel, and it is said that he is bloodthirsty and kills like hemp.

There are many legends and anecdotes about Zhang Xianzhong in history, such as the Seven Killing Monument.

Legend has it that Zhang Xianzhong set up a stele to show his aspirations. On the stele, it is written that "everything is born with man, and man has nothing with heaven. Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill."

Another one is about Zhang Xianzhong's Shen Yin mystery.

There was a folk song in Sichuan: "The stone cow is against the stone drum, and the silver is ten thousand and five. Some people can see through it and buy out the Sichuan capital."

This ballad, of course, describes how much gold and silver treasures were hidden when Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Kingdom was destroyed.

Based on this point, many people believed that just Jiangkou Shenyin was definitely not enough to represent Zhang Xianzhong's hidden treasure.

Now Chen Wenzhe indirectly confirmed this point, but this does not mean that he can obtain other Zhang Xianzhong's hidden treasures.

Because he is not the only smart person, and he is not the only lucky person.

After three or four hundred years, why hasn't a lucky smart person appeared?
Therefore, some of Zhang Xianzhong's hidden treasures inevitably flowed into the market, and some of them eventually fell into the hands of Chen Wenzhe.

And through this part of the treasure, Chen Wenzhe may still find some omissions.

It's just maybe, after all, time is too long, no one knows, the place where the treasure was originally hidden must not be found.

However, Zhang Xianzhong swept through several provinces and scraped the ground, and the treasures he obtained must not be just a little bit like Jiangkou Chenyin.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" said that his wealth sunk into Jinjiang: "Jinbao billions of dollars", how much treasure is this?

And "Shu Difficulty Documentary" records that his wealth sunk into the Minjiang River: "Hundreds of millions, filled with hundreds of ships."

When Zhang Xianzhong retreated, the gold, silver and jewels he carried were shipped southward from Chuandu.

There are hundreds of treasure ships, how many treasures have been unearthed in the riverbed we are excavating now?
