The first thousand six hundred and seventy-five chapters
A total of 20 gold plates were found in the tomb of Marquis Haihun, measuring 22-cm long, 10 cm wide, and thin. Except for one gold plate with attachments behind it, no previously expected text or pattern information was found on the other gold plates.
.
Was such a marquis buried with rich things? Rich, but was it a lot? Not much at all, not rich at all. It can only be said to be rich, because there are so many people buried with richer things than him recorded in history.
Therefore, many people describe some rich people and often say that they are as rich as the country. In fact, this is a joke. No one can be as rich as the country. Just like now, how much is the richest man in the world?
How much money do the top 10,000 richest people in the world have?
Do they have a lot of money? Can they be said to be as rich as the country?
In fact, if you think about all kinds of taxes, you will know that the so-called wealth is even worse than a joke.
Personal income tax is 20%, what about inheritance tax? What about business tax?
Why are there so many people evading taxes now?
Especially those rich people and big companies, they all want to evade taxes, because the tax burden is too high, easily reaching 30 to 40 percent, or even more than half. In some ruthless countries, it exceeds 60 percent.
Therefore, in the world now, there is an idea of reasonable tax avoidance, which has made a large number of accountants rich.
For example, Han Kongque discovered this time that if his tomb robbing was considered legal, then more than 60% of the treasure he obtained must be handed over to the state.
Of course, this is under the premise of legality. If it is not legal, then everything belongs to the state.
Therefore, sometimes, crimes are committed out of extreme unwillingness or under the temptation of huge wealth.
For example, if you obviously earned one million, but lost 600,000 due to paying taxes, would you be willing to do so?
If you are unwilling, you will commit a crime. For example, Han Peacock found so many treasures at this time. He was willing to hand them over to the indigenous Mongolians here?
"How much treasure did the Mongols robbed back then?" Huangshan has become numb from the constant packing of boxes and the constant mining of gold coins.
"Hey, you don't have to worry, now there are no gold coins anymore, and there are burial pits." At this time, the golden demon said.
"Ah? Found dead bones again?" Huangshan became interested instead. He hurried to the Golden Demon and saw that there were indeed many bones.
"Huh? This is a copper coin? Boss, come here and see what kind of copper coin it is? How come there is a copper coin here?" Jin Yao said a little excitedly.
The worst things here are gold coins. Now that a copper coin appears, the golden demon is quite curious.
Han Kongque glanced at the bones and said, "Maybe the craftsmen who built this tomb brought them in, but are you sure they are copper coins, not copper coins?"
"It's not a domestically issued copper coin. It's a copper coin. The writing on it is very special. It looks like Arabic." Huangshan confirmed.
"Arabic?" Han Peacock also became interested at this time. He put away a wooden box and walked over.
He had put away too many boxes recently, and most of them contained gold coins, so he was a little numb.
"This is a Khwarizm model copper coin. It is sold online. It is not worth much. It seems that these bones are really from the Khwarezm model." Han Peacock recognized the origin of the copper coin at a glance.
At that time, Khwarizm was captured by the Mongols, and the city was massacred and robbed. After a whole set of routines, except for some beautiful women and craftsmen, there should not be much left.
The people who appear here can only be craftsmen, so it is normal for them to bring some Hualizi molded copper coins.
Khwarezm is sometimes also written as "Khorezm", which is interpreted as "the land of the sun" in the language of the Serbian people. In the 12th century, a dynasty named after it arose here, which at its peak encompassed the Transoxiana region of Central Asia.
, the Khorasan region and most of the Iranian Plateau were destroyed by the Mongolian Empire in 11 years.
The Huarizimo coins of this period mainly had three types: gold, silver, and copper, and gold coins were rare. This is a copper coin with the king's head on it, and the words behind it should be verses from the Quran.
There are three types of copper coins: large, medium and small. This one is considered large, and there are some small ones with different names. It is a rare copper coin in China, but its value is not high.
Seeing more and more bones, more and more Huarizimo copper coins were discovered. At this time, Han Kongque had determined that these bones should be the craftsmen who were looted after the Mongols invaded the Huarizimo Kingdom.
"Look, I found a lot of gold coins again." After cleaning up hundreds of bones, the golden demon made another discovery.
"This is the gold dinar, the gold coin used by Huacizimo." Han Kongque said.
"It seems that we have encountered Huarizimo's treasure." Mu Ling said.
Han Peacock looked at more and more gold coins and said: "This is actually what Huarizimo asked for. If they were not so arrogant and would not attract attacks from the Mongols, then their regional power would be
It will not be destroyed."
In 1217, there was a conflict between Khwarizm and Genghis Khan.
At that time, Genghis Khan tried to establish general commercial and political relations with the Khwarizm people. However, in 1218, a caravan from the Mongol Empire (except for the Mongolian envoy Uhu Na, the rest of the caravan members were all composed of *
*****) were intercepted and robbed in the border city of Khwarizm in the middle reaches of the Syr Darya River.
There were about a hundred members of the caravan who were executed by the governor of Khwarizm, Yina Qike (also known as Hayier Khan).
Khwarizm was a big country at that time, and even Genghis Khan only asked for compensation, but such a request was still rejected, so after being rejected, Genghis Khan decided to launch a war.
In the summer of 1219, the Mongolian army concentrated on the upper reaches of the Shihe River (Irtysh River) in Yeer.
In the autumn of this year, Genghis Khan arrived at Hai'ali in the southeast of Lake Balkhash and came to the Qalulu people. Arslan Khan, the king of Qalulu, joined Genghis Khan's camp, as well as the new king of Alimari, Sugnahe Teqin, and
The Uighurs also protected Ba Ershu and led their own armies to join it.
Although the Khwarizm army far exceeded the Mongolian army in terms of numbers, the Mongolian army was highly disciplined and was a fairly tight-knit group.
Sultan Mahmoud of Khwarezm dispersed his troops between the line of the Syr Darya River and various fortified areas in the river.
As a result, although the Khwarizm army had an advantage in total numbers, their numbers at each individual point were smaller than the Mongolian army.
Genghis Khan entered the territory of Khwarizim from near Nidaqi in the middle reaches of the Syr Darya River. A detachment led by his two sons, Chagatai and Ogodei besieged the city of Nidaqi. However, it only passed through a long passage.
The city was captured after a period of attacks.
The conqueror's eldest son, Jochi, led another detachment down the Syr Darya River and captured Segnak (opposite the present-day city of Turkestan) and Zhende (near present-day Polovysk).
Five thousand Mongolian troops sent to the upper reaches of the Syr Darya River occupied Benakte (west of Tashkent) and besieged Khuzel. Khuzel was guarding the general. The capable Tamerlane Milili took a small boat and sailed down the river after putting up a tenacious resistance.
Escaped down the Syr Darya River.
Genghis Khan and his youngest son Tuolei led the main army directly into the city of Bukhara and arrived in the city in February 1220.
The Turkic defenders of Bukhara tried to break through the besiegers' defenses and escape, but in the end they were killed in large numbers. At this time, the residents abandoned by the defenders surrendered (February 10 or 16, 1220).
The castle was captured, all the defenders were killed, and then the city of Bukhara underwent a methodical and thorough sacking.
The residents were robbed and subjected to all kinds of abuse, intimidation and ravage, but, in general, only those who tried to resist the sacrilegious violence of the victors were executed, especially the "priests" of the Catholic Church.
"They.
Genghis Khan marched from Bukhara to Samarkand. In front of the city of Samarkand, he met Chagatai and Ogodei who had just captured the city of Nidasa.
The inhabitants of Samarkand, some of whom were Iranians, bravely attempted to attack, but were suppressed, and, according to Zheffani, the city surrendered five days later (March 1220).
The city was completely sacked, and in order to facilitate the operation, the entire population was first expelled from the city, and many of them were executed.
Those considered useful, such as skilled craftsmen, were taken to Mongolia.
Yulong Jiechi, the original capital of Huacizm, was captured in April 1221 after a long period of siege.
During the Mongolian conquest of Hezhong, Sultan Mahamo of Khwarezm was frightened by the disasters caused by his blind arrogance. He went from arrogance to extreme depression, and finally became completely numb.
He later fled to Balkh, and from Balkh to western Khorasan, where he took refuge in Nishapur. Later, in increasing panic, he ran to the other end of the area far away from his rule.
.
Genghis Khan sent a cavalry team led by his two outstanding generals, Jebe and Subotai, to chase Mahamo. The unlucky Mahamo took refuge on an isolated island in the Caspian Sea, where he died in about December 1220.
Died from exhaustion of energy.
Later, the descendants of Mahamo were chased separately by the Mongols. In the end, they ran away and died. Only those who entered India survived, and all the others were killed.
Come to think of it, these dinar gold coins here are the wealth that the Mongols plundered from major cities in Khwarezm, which must include Yulong Jiechi, the original capital of Khwarezm. Otherwise, there would be no way there would be so much gold here.
dinar.
Gold coins, gold coins, gold coins, they kept digging out gold coins. I don’t know how much time passed, but there were finally no gold coins in front.
"Is this gone?" After digging for a few more days, there were no more gold coins, and Huangshan and the others felt a little empty.
"Don't be disappointed. What we discovered now was just filled in later. We haven't discovered the real tomb yet!" Han Peacock said with a smile.
"I wonder where we are now? How far are we from the real Chengling Tomb?" Mu Ling said. (~^~)
