The Mystery of Zhang Xian's Billion Treasure

Zhang (1606— 1647), whose name is Bingwu, was born in Yan 'an Pumice (now Dingbian East, Shaanxi). Born in a poor family. 1644, Zhang led the peasant army into Shu, proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, and established the Daxi regime.

For Zhang, there is an old legend in Chengdu:1In July 646, Zhang did a strange thing before he was forced to withdraw from Chengdu. He spent a lot of manpower to build a high embankment in Jinjiang, but did not control the flood. Instead, a pit several feet deep was dug in the sediment downstream of the levee, and tens of thousands of gold and silver treasures were buried in the pit, and then the dam burst again and the pit was flooded. This trick is called storing water.

It is said that Zhang once left a "treasure map". He buried the looted gold and silver in a place in Chengdu, and kept Shi Niu and Shigu as secret records. Over the years, a nursery rhyme has been circulating in Chengdu: "Shi Niu spent 1 million to buy a stone drum." Someone knows how to break it and buy it all! "

According to records, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, a Gong Sheng named Yang Bailu learned this shocking secret, told his good friend Ma Kunshan in his later years, and gave him a priceless "treasure map". Ma Kunshan can't help but be elated. He immediately set up Jinjiang Gold Rushing Company, recruited all kinds of workers with mud, wood and stone, purchased all kinds of tools and ordered necessary equipment such as metal detectors. 1938 In September of the lunar calendar, he started a vigorous work. A few days later, a big stone cow and a big stone drum were dug up!
