2986 Forty Scenes of Yuanmingyuan

The forty scenic pictures of the Old Summer Palace, which is the first year of Qianlong, that is, the year when Emperor Qianlong ascended the throne, specially issued an order to Leng Mei, a painter of the Forbidden City Ruyi Pavilion, to depict the panoramic portrait of the Old Summer Palace in accordance with the specifications of the 36 scenic pictures of the Kangxi Dynasty Summer Palace.

Although it only has forty pictures, it took a full eleven year to complete the creation, which shows that it is hard to come by!

The preciousness of the Forty Scenery Pictures is not only his artistic value, but also because there is only one set of pictures in the world, Qianlong did not allow copying or imitation at all!

In other words, this album was not well-known at that time and was a typical royal treasure, and basically not many people in the folk knew about it.

The Old Summer Palace is even more of a royal garden, and ordinary people cannot take a step! They cannot see the album or the real scene of the Old Summer Palace, so there is no need to make a fake or imitate it!

Even many folk painters and collectors don’t know that such a set of picture albums exist!

At the end of the 19th century, this album was not well-known, and its true popularity soared, but it would take until the end of the 20th century. As photography technology became more and more mature, high-definition photography technology began to become popular.

This collection of the Old Summer Palace, which was collected by Napoleon III, was passed on to the National Library of Paris, France. It was discovered by a Chinese traveling in France in 1928 and brought the black and white photo background back to China.

In other words, it was not until 1928 that the general public in China, except for the older generations in the capital, had hundreds of millions of people who truly knew what the legendary Old Summer Palace looked like!

By 2004, China spent millions of dollars to buy a color photo background for the forty scenes of the Old Summer Palace. Only then did people know how beautiful the colorful Old Summer Palace is!

On the left side of the ghost eye, he had no chance to see such a collection of treasures in the imperial palace, but he knew that such an isolated version of the album existed in the world.

Although he had never seen it, his apprentice Manshun had seen it, and even relied on memory to draw a few simple examples to the master!

Ten years ago, Man Shun had just entered the palace, and it was the time when his memory was the most prosperous. The few small scenes he had drawn were very classic, and the left side of the ghost eyes could be said to be unforgettable!

Today, this ghost-eyed Chaofeng with a sufficient vision of 2.0 was accidentally seen by someone drying this picture album in the Suez Canal. Judging from his rich experience, this is the authentic product, there will definitely be no fake!

The left side is very sure because he knows very well that there are no fakes in this set of picture albums, because almost no counterfeiters in the Qing Dynasty have ever heard of such a set of picture albums. Even those masters who copy and fake in the capital have never heard of it!

Who can forge a famous painting that does not exist? So, what is dried on this ship is definitely the authentic one!

However, the ship was hung with the British flag. There was only one conclusion: in order to ensure safety, the merchant ship of the Calais secretly forged the ship's identity certificate halfway and changed the British flag to try to get away with it!

Although he was kidnapped at the beginning at the left of Ghost Eye, he felt a thousand unhappy, but after the CIA conveyed the true intention of the head of state to him, his heart was shaken.

Xiao Letian met with Ghost Eye on the left side, and the Head of State also bought some antiques from him!

Because of this fate, the head of state called for the left side of Ghost Eye to come to Europe to identify the treasures. However, the CIA has very strict confidentiality discipline, and they did not directly tell Zuo Dachao Fengming, so the previous conflict broke out!

The Chinese army is powerful in Europe, and the head of state wants to regain the treasures passed down from generation to generation that belong to the Chinese!

Don't mention this matter much. The six appraisers were no longer angry when they passed by Ryukyu, but they were just relieved of the head of state, and the CIA officials who kidnapped these kidnapped had no good expression at all!

Along the way, all the officials of the CIA have become angry young wives, and they have to be scolded for not being tasty in food. These six bad tempers have been playing all the way!

When the boat passed by the Lion City, which was later Singapore, the local CIA head contacted the Hangzhou and asked them to hurry to the Suez Canal, where was there a ship of treasures given to the Qing Dynasty by the Emperor!

The head of state's order was very firm. No matter how much the price it paid, it was necessary to eat all the treasures in the ship, and it would be so dark that it was silent!

And these six masters of arts and plays have a task to identify the authenticity of the treasure!

After receiving the order, the Hangzhou City immediately modified its original schedule and even did not care about the supply along the way. Everyone relied on canned dry food to survive. The clean water on the ship can only be drunk and not washed, and it had to be metered!

It was supposed to be supplying in Sri Lanka or India, but in order to chase time, they did not stop and crossed the entire Indian Ocean with their meager supplies!

The road was a terrible struggle for the waiter on the left, without eating or drinking, washing his face and taking a bath. There was also a typhoon on the way, and he vomited all his bitter bile!

Fortunately, he crossed the Indian Ocean alive, and the Hangzhou finally arrived in Egypt safely!

When the Suez Canal was just opened and opened, it was a narrow one-way canal. The width of the canal was only allowed to pass by one ship, and neither ship could be in parallel.

If you want to pass efficiently such a canal, you have to rely on the telegram lines along the way to coordinate. Fifty ships are placed in the north first, so the ships heading north on the south have to wait.

When all the fifty ships on the other side came out, they drove into the canal from south to north as planned!

The Hangzhou was repaired at Suez Port, on the one hand, to take care of the crew's bodies, and on the other hand, to wait for ships from the north to enter the Red Sea one by one.

It was during this renovation that Zuo Dachaofeng realized that the Calais merchant ship did not appear at all, and it still did not appear four days later than the scheduled time!

Many people even doubted whether the ship had temporarily changed its route and went around the Cape of Good Hope?

This is really impossible. Think about the value of that ship of treasures. For safety, it is possible to go around the Cape of Good Hope, even if you go around South America!

Everyone was anxious, especially when the left talked with several other appraisers, and when everyone began to guess how precious the treasures were, people could no longer control their emotions.

This mission is too important. If even the death orders issued by the head of state cannot be implemented, maybe several CIA leaders would have to commit suicide by drinking and committing suicide!

But I never expected that I would find it without any effort to find it!

Just as the Hangzhou was about to enter the canal, the last cargo ship from north to south from the canal to the Red Sea was exposed!
