Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Treasury

Japanese engineers? How did so many engineers die in the tunnel for no reason? Liu Ye stared straight at these corpses, motionless, her complexion getting worse and worse, and she lost all blood.I felt something was wrong, so I quickly grabbed her shoulders and asked her what was wrong and if there was anything wrong. My hand just touched the willow leaf, and the willow leaf shuddered like an electric shock.After she saw it was me, she was still terrified and told me tremblingly that she finally remembered the song she heard on the road just now. Very miserable.Seeing that Da Ya and I were staring and not speaking, Liu Ye nodded to us again and again, telling us firmly that she was definitely not hallucinating, she really heard the singing.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, feeling that the surrounding air suddenly became cold, Da Ya looked around with his arms folded, and reassured Liu Ye not to think too much, even if there were ghosts singing, it was no big deal.It's not the first time I've bumped into a ghost, it's a big deal, if I fight him, the outcome is not certain!The Japanese are not afraid when they are alive, but what can they do when they are dead. The corpses in the aisle are scattered all over the place, and sometimes the aisle is full, and it is inevitable to kick and bump if you want to pass.At the beginning, I was a little scared and suspicious, but after walking for a while, nothing strange happened, so I forgot to be afraid and got used to it.

Along the way, the corpses lay all over the place, and I became more and more uneasy.After a rough calculation, it is estimated that there are a hundred or ten people. These people died here in batches. It is obvious that they are not easy to die. I always feel that there is something wrong here, but I can't tell what is wrong. Da Ya also stopped while walking, turned around and said, "Lai Liang, sister, something is wrong! Why are there so many dead people? They are all curled up in a ball, and there is no trace of blood on the ground, nor on the bones. What kind of wound, no missing arms or legs, how do you say these Japanese people died? Could it be that there are really evil spirits looking for their lives?"

As soon as the words were finished, I suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing over. Immediately, not only Liu Ye and I, but even Da Ya who was speaking in vernacular were stunned. Liu Ye looked around, smiled wryly and said: "I think these people died really strangely, it seems that they died suddenly, could they be poisoned?" "Poisoned? If poisoned to death, who poisoned it? I only heard that the Japanese often poisoned Chinese workers to death in order to keep secrets. Why did they poison their own people?" Da Ya shook his head, The face is puzzled. I suddenly had a bad premonition, could it be that something happened here that year?In the end, it was out of control at all, and I had no choice but to leave these corpses alone, so I had to build a wall to seal it off.If so, what happened here?If it is not a very serious matter, in terms of the Japanese way of doing things, they will not easily leave their own corpses alone.

Da Ya's eyes widened: "Well, do you think it might be that the Japanese are setting up some chemical weapons here, and an accident happened, and these people themselves were smoked to death?" When we mention this, we all think of the notorious "731" unit, but in an instant, I have some doubts about this possibility.At that time, the Japanese research on this kind of bacterial weapon was also very confidential, and there were not experimental workshops everywhere. The closest to here should be the 100th Kwantung Army stationed in Changchun at that time. It is also about 100 kilometers away from Changchun. It seems unlikely. .

Even so, we still dug out the gas masks we had prepared earlier from our bags and put them on our faces.This kind of gas mask is not very professional, it is a filter gas mask commonly used in industry. If there is really residual poisonous gas here, we don't know whether wearing this thing is useful or not. It is more for peace of mind. . After walking forward for more than 200 meters, I finally reached the end of the passage, and at the end was an arched gate. We pushed it with our hands, and after a painful "creaking" sound for a while, the cast-iron gate was actually pushed open.

After entering this gate, there are two iron gates on the left and one on the right.The door is three meters high and about 1.6 meters wide. The door leaves are facing each other, and the whole body is covered with steel plates. After so many years, there are already some mottled rust stains on it, which makes it look more vicissitudes and heavy. When we first saw these two gates, we were immediately stunned. It is unbelievable to place such a large gate in such a space underground, and manpower and material resources will be greatly wasted.It is unlikely that this kind of door was finished outside and then brought in and installed. It must have been made on site here and installed directly. One can imagine how difficult it would be at that time.

Liu Ye stared at the words on the gate and suddenly froze, blinked her eyes twice, then pointed to the words above with disbelief for us to see.Only then did Da Ya and I see clearly that although the paint on it had been scraped off on purpose, we could still see from the traces that there was a large character on each of the left and right door leaves, which said "vault". treasury? Da Ya was startled for a moment, then laughed, and then kept cursing "little Japanese devil".It looked like he wanted to eat his flesh raw and drink his blood angrily, but I knew in my heart that what made Da Ya so excited might not be all ethnic hatred, it might be more likely to be something in this vault.

There is a large turntable on the big iron door, the size of a manhole cover, with some handles on it, like a steering wheel, which can be turned, and it is probably used to open the door.Da Ya and I tried to turn it around. It looked heavy, but it turned out to be very easy.After turning counterclockwise for more than ten times, the door finally opened slowly. The space inside the house is surprisingly large, and there are many wooden boxes stacked in rows and columns.The size of each box is about the same as the current instant noodle boxes. They are stacked in rows and can be as tall as a person, just like the shelves in a supermarket, they are neatly stacked.

Da Ya conveniently brought a box over, and kicked it to pieces.After a burst of dust, it was discovered that there was nothing inside.Da Ya was stunned, and kicked several wooden boxes without giving up, but the result was the same.Obviously, this result made Da Ya a little bit disappointed, he turned his head to Liu Ye and me and said, "Why are there all empty boxes? Where is the gold? Why is there nothing left?" Liu Ye and I shook our heads and smiled wryly, ignoring him, and took a careful look around with the flashlight.Seeing Liu Ye suddenly staring at the wooden box in front of me, Da Ya and I were stunned, thinking that something happened, we ran over quickly, but found nothing unusual.I gently touched Liu Ye and asked her what's wrong.

Liu Ye just woke up like a dream, and pointed to the words on the box for us to read. On the side panel of the box, there was a line of words written in petty script: Jilin Yongheng Official Bank. Da Ya pointed at another box and called us: "Look, there are words here too." Liu Ye and I walked over to have a look, and sure enough, there was also a line of small characters engraved on the edge of the top cover of the box: "Official Bank of the Three Eastern Provinces." It turned out to be a bank in the Northeast, what is going on?Was this treasury built by the Chinese themselves or by the Japanese? Liu Ye lowered his voice and told us that if the expectations are correct, this should be the temporary vault where the Japanese robbed gold and silver from the Northeast. After the "September 18th" Incident, the entire Northeast was occupied, and the Japanese Kwantung Army first seized transportation lines and financial institutions wherever they went.At that time, the main financial institutions in Northeast China were the official bank of the three provinces in the Northeast, which was the government-run bank of the Northeast local government; there was also the Bianye Bank, which was established by the warlord forces of the Feng Dynasty at that time; there was also the Jilin Yongheng Official Bank, which should be the same provincial government coffers.The most famous of these is the "Official Bank of the Three Eastern Provinces", which was the largest local bank in the three northeastern provinces at that time. Seeing that Da Ya and I were listening seriously, Liu Ye paused and continued: "I have seen this history before. On the second day of the 'September 18' incident, the official banks of the three eastern provinces were occupied by the Japanese. That night, all the cash in the official bank was transported away by car. According to later records, when the official bank in the three eastern provinces was occupied by the Japanese army, there were at least 660,000 catties of gold and 2 million silver dollars in the warehouse. It was looted by the Japanese army." "What, how much? 66... ​​ten thousand... catties?" Da Ya opened his mouth wide, and was dumbfounded at the time. Liu Ye nodded, confirming that she was right, it was 660,000 jin.At that time, there were five above-ground and underground treasuries in the official bank of the three provinces in the Northeast, each covering more than 300 square meters. When the Japanese occupied the official bank in the three provinces in the East, Zhang Xueliang did not have time to transport so much gold and silver. With the financial resources at the time, this figure was also possible. Da Ya and I were dumbfounded, how much is so much gold worth?Absolutely astronomical. Liu Ye sighed and told us that at that time, the Japanese transported part of the gold back to their home country first, and a large part was transferred to the vicinity of Changchun to prepare funds for the puppet Manchukuo.These things have only been recorded in some historical materials, but they have not been reported in detail, but now it seems that this place should be the treasury where the gold was stored back then. I was also shocked. I never imagined that the Japanese would steal so much money from the Northeast. Da Ya didn't say a word the whole time, he was still counting with his fingers, I pushed him and pouted at him: "Da Ya, don't forget, you can't calculate how much money you have even if you add all your toes. " Liu Ye laughed beside him, and told Da Ya that 660,000 jin of gold was worth more than 90 billion RMB at the current price. Da Ya swallowed his saliva, his head shook like a rattle, and he couldn't stop grinning.
