In the long river of history, there was a peasant uprising leader in the late Ming Dynasty, who left a legend about a peerless treasure. This story has been sung among the people of Chengdu, but for a long time, there have been doubts about the authenticity of this legend. It wasn't until 2015 that a large-scale treasure theft case broke out, unveiling the mystery of this legend, and people were surprised to find that Zhang Xianzhong really left a peerless treasure in Chengdu.
Zhang Xianzhong, an iconic figure in the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, stood out with Li Zicheng as one of the leaders of that turbulent period. However, after achieving a moment of brilliance, Zhang Xianzhong made a serious mistake in strategy, which led to the decline of his career. The Hongguang regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty took the opportunity to **, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and retreated, and finally only a corner of western Sichuan remained. In the face of the unfavorable situation of the war, Zhang Xianzhong began to carry out crazy killings, especially the cruelty of the people of Chengdu.
When Zhang Xianzhong decided to leave Chengdu, he took with him a large amount of gold and silver treasures, among which "Shu Bi" recorded that "thousands of gold treasures were loaded and went east downstream";"Documentary of the Disaster of Shu" is even more specific, saying that these treasures are "hundreds of millions". However, on the way to the transfer, his treasure was besieged by the landlords' armed forces, causing a large amount of gold and silver treasures to sink to the bottom of the river. The whereabouts of this treasure have been a mystery for hundreds of years.
It wasn't until 2011 that villagers near the mouth of the Pengshan River accidentally caught some silver ingots while fishing, causing a sensation. As more and more treasures came out of the water, the villagers began to believe that the rumors of Zhang Xianzhong's treasure were true. In order to find more treasures, the villagers have bought diving equipment and went to the bottom of the river to carry out treasure hunting activities. This continued until 2015, with almost the entire village involved in the underwater treasure hunting, even with young children.
In the treasure hunting activity, the villagers not only found a large number of precious cultural relics, but also found a golden tiger that is said to be the golden seal of Generalissimo Zhang Xianzhong. This golden tiger was taken away by cultural relics dealers for 7.7 million yuan. However, this series of treasure touching behaviors has attracted the attention of **. After a detailed investigation, in 2015, villagers and cultural relics dealers who participated in the treasure hunting were arrested many times, and thousands of cultural relics worth up to 300 million yuan were recovered.
Subsequently, experts carried out underwater archaeology at the Pengshan River Estuary and found more precious cultural relics. In addition to the silver ingots engraved with the year name of "Daxi" and the gold and silver coins of "Xiwang Rewarding Merit", a gold seal engraved with 29 characters was also found, which was identified as a national first-class cultural relic. The discovery of these cultural relics also confirmed the legend of "Zhang Xianzhong's Jiangkou Sinking Silver".
However, the truth of this story has been distorted in the long course of history. After the establishment of the Manchu Dynasty, in order to shirk his killing behavior in Sichuan, the Manchu ** frantically smeared Zhang Xianzhong. In the "History of the Ming Dynasty", which was majored by the Manchu imperial literati, it was said that Zhang Xianzhong "killed a total of 60,000 men and women" in Sichuan. This figure is unbelievably huge, and contemporary Ming and Qing historians have repeatedly questioned it, believing that it has "no historical value at all".
This legend about Zhang Xianzhong's peerless treasure has now been substantially confirmed in the discovery of the Pengshan River Estuary. Despite centuries of vicissitudes, a part of the treasure still slumbers at the bottom of the river, waiting to be discovered. This mysterious and legendary story has become a shining jewel in the long river of history, showing us the changes of that turbulent time. Perhaps, one day in the future, this story will continue to usher in new developments and reveal more historical secrets for us.
