Returning to the capital, saving this harvest, everyone rested for a day, and Sun Dianying had all the suspicious treasures, winning a great victory.

This made Wen Yiming confident in treasure hunting, and provided clues and scope for the treasures of troubled times. The Gold-Devouring Gu locked the final position, hit the target with one blow, and shot without any flaws.

"The next target is Zhang Shaoshuai's treasure, Dingyuanzhai!"

Wen Yiming sorted out his plan. This time he aimed at the three northeastern provinces, Zhang Shaoshuai's hometown, Shaoshuai's collection of ancient calligraphy and paintings began in the early 1920s. In addition to being in charge of military and political affairs in the Northeast, he often went to calligraphy and painting shops and antique shops in Beijing and Tianjin to search for ancient times.

In the autumn of 1924, he occasionally found a scroll of ancient paintings in a pile of old papers in a bookstore in Beijing. Due to the age of time, the pictures were stained. However, it can be vaguely seen that the paintings were painted with a pine and maple. There was an old man under the tree, carrying a bamboo basket and exquisite pens and ink. It should be a work by a famous artist, but the paintings were not signed.

The owner did not know him. Seeing that the customer was careful about the painting and had the intention to buy it, he offered a high price. Zhang Shaoshuai did not bargain with him and resolutely bought it at a high price. Later, he asked a well-known connoisseur to appraise it and found that it was the original work of Li Tang, a famous painter in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was a national treasure.

Since then, he became interested in collecting calligraphy and paintings and became out of control. He named the calligraphy and painting collection in the commander's mansion Dingyuanzhai, indicating that he had ambition and became lofty, so he began to collect antique calligraphy and paintings crazily.

In the 1930s, Zhang Daqian accidentally saw the authentic landscape works of Hua Yan, a famous Qing Dynasty painter, in Liulichang, and was fascinated by the fact that he was priced at 400 yuan. Because he was short of money, he discussed with the shop owner that he would keep this painting for three days and not sell it to others.

The owner agreed to the request. Three days later, Zhang Daqian borrowed money to buy paintings and then went to the store, but the owner told him that he had bought Zhang Shaoshang for 600 yuan. Zhang Daqian then refused to think about him, but he was depressed for many days.

In August 1962, Zhang Daqian returned to Baodao to hold a personal calligraphy and painting exhibition. After the exhibition, he carefully drew a picture of Brazilian landscape and asked someone to give it to Zhang Shaoshuai as a souvenir. Just as he was about to leave and wait for the plane at the airport, he suddenly picked up the other party and asked someone to send a scroll. It turned out to be the Huayi landscape painting that he wanted to buy thirty years ago but had not obtained. He couldn't help but feel that he was a confidant.

Later, Zhang Daqian settled in Baodao and had a relationship with Er Zhangduo, and had a close relationship. It was also a good story in the collection circle.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After the Kwantung Army occupied the Grand Marshal's Mansion, some generals wanted to embezzle Dingyuanzhai's collection of calligraphy and paintings. However, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shizuka, ordered people to make booklets and load them into the capital and transport them to Zhang Xueliang himself.

He seems kind-hearted, but in fact his intentions are extremely sinister. If Zhang Shaoshan accepts it, his image among the people will be very unbearable, and he will become a traitor who values ​​wealth over righteousness and is indifferent to righteousness.

Fortunately, he saw through the trick and ordered them to transport their property and calligraphy and paintings back to the Grand Marshal's Mansion. It is said that when the train returned, he passed by Shanhaiguan and was looted by Japanese and puppet defenders at the station. However, most of the Dingyuanzhai calligraphy and painting collections were later recovered and collected in the pseudo Fengtian Museum, but a small number of calligraphy and paintings still did not know where to go.

The lost included Wang Xianzhi's "She Neitian Tie", Li Zhaodao's "Haishi Tu", Dong Yuan's "Landscape Scroll", Guo Xi's "Cold Forest Picture", Song Huizong's "Imperial Letter", Mi Yuanhui's "Yunshan Picture Scroll".

The remaining ones are Zhao Mengfu, Wu Zhen, Wang Meng, Wen Zhengming, Shen Zhou, Tang Yin, Qiu Ying, "Four Kings Wu Yun", Shi Tao, Bada Shanren and other masterpieces. The collections later collected in the Fengtian Museum were robbed by Japanese and puppet personnel before the war was about to be won, and many of them were missing.

Wen Yiming couldn't help but sigh that the three eastern provinces are really good places. Not only Dingyuanzhai, but also another important person who was exiled, that is, the last emperor, Puyi.

The most painful loss of national treasures in modern history happened during the abdication of the last emperor Puyi. He stolen more than 1,200 treasures of calligraphy and paintings from all dynasties were transported out of the palace in the name of rewarding his younger brother Pujie.

From then on, these calligraphy and paintings embarked on a road of displaced life, from the capital Chunwang Mansion to Zhangyuan, Jingyuan, and then followed Puyi to the three eastern provinces, becoming collections of the puppet Manchukuo. With the destruction of the puppet Manchukuo in 1945, they suffered another disaster.

Later, Puyi recalled that the theft of eunuchs in the palace during the war was almost never interrupted. Even when he was married, he had just had the wedding, and the pearls, gems and jade verdant inlaid on the queen's phoenix crown were all replaced with fakes!

Later, he was preparing to purify the inner palace, count the warehouse, and ban theft. However, before the plan was implemented, the Jianfu Palace, which contained countless treasures, suddenly caught fire. The fire burned overnight, and all the pavilions and pavilions in the Jianfu Palace courtyard were turned into ashes, and countless treasures and secret books were wiped out.

After that time, he completely thought about it. Instead of letting his slaves steal his treasures, it would be better to do it yourself! In July 1922, Puyi began to reward his younger brother Pujie in various names, and took advantage of Pujie's opportunity to enter the palace every morning to accompany him to study, and smuggle the precious rare Song and Yuan versions of the rare books out of the palace.

After Puyi was expelled from the palace, he first lived in the palace of Prince Chun of Zaifeng. The stolen calligraphy, paintings and ancient books were stored in Prince Chun of Chuan. Later, he fled to Tianjin Port. In addition to the luxurious residence, he was also very particular about food and clothing, and specially invited a chef to cook.

Queen Wanrong also smoked smoked smoke and wore the most popular and precious clothes during the Republic of China. Later, the cultural relics stolen from the palace were packed into seventy or eighty large boxes and transported them to the British Concession in Tianjin, Hong Kong and Hong Kong by railway. In order to maintain a luxurious life, she began to build bridges through various figures and sell the calligraphy and paintings that were stolen from the palace.

The Puppet Manchukuo moved to Tonghua. In a panic, Puyi selected some famous paintings to flee in a hurry, including the Tang Dynasty Zhou Lie's "Picture of Lady with Flowers in a Hair", the Five Dynasties Huang Quan's "Sketching of Rare Birds", and Zhang Zeduan of the Northern Song Dynasty's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", etc. However, a large number of calligraphy and paintings were left in the puppet palace and were looted by the puppet troops, and many treasures were missing as a result.

After the island country surrendered, Puyi fled again. When he was about to escape to the Soviet Union, he was caught by the Soviets at the airport and intercepted the treasures he carried. The Soviets thought the box was filled with dragon robes, and when the box was opened, everyone present was stunned.

The boxes were full of priceless treasures, and those were the last two boxes left by Puyi, each carefully selected and the finest ones. In order to seek political refuge, he was able to stay in the Soviet Union, so he used these treasures as pioneers to please Soviet officers.

So much so that Puyi was later escorted back to the country, and his body was empty and there were no treasures left! It can be seen that many national treasures were lost to the people, and he probably couldn't even count them himself!

"Go to the Northeast!"
