The discovery of the two authentic Xuan incense burners made Yang Jing want to hug the big iron box and give it a kiss.

The treasures in this box are so surprising that it is no exaggeration to describe them as surprising beyond words.

There are a total of eleven treasures in the entire large iron box, but these eleven treasures are definitely national treasures, especially the Chai Kiln Celadon Glaze Narcissus Vase and the two Xuan furnaces. If they were taken out, they would definitely cause a sensation in the archaeological community!

The result of this treasure hunt is even more gratifying than pie falling from the sky.

After calming down a little, Yang Jing decided to see if there was any treasure in the box. After rummaging around, he found that there was indeed no treasure inside, but he did find a small package wrapped in several layers of oilcloth and cotton cloth.

This bundle is protected so closely and is placed together with the eleven national treasures. It is obvious that there are some very valuable things in this bundle.

But when Yang Jing opened the bundle, he found that in addition to the papers covered with words, there were also some silks covered with words.

Yang Jing had no idea what was written on these papers and silks, but when he picked up a piece of silk at random and took a look, he immediately figured out what these things were for.

"...The Thai people were becoming more and more rampant, and the situation faced by our Angkor Dynasty was becoming more and more difficult. Under such circumstances, His Majesty Tamanon sent Minister Chamakha as an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to meet with the emperor, and at the same time begged His Majesty the Emperor to send troops to help our Angkor Dynasty... His Majesty the Hongwu Emperor was very satisfied with Chamakha's audience, and rewarded him with a large number of hand-copied Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues and exquisite porcelain... After Chamakha returned, His Majesty Tamanon was very fond of the Buddha statues and porcelain rewarded by His Majesty the Hongwu Emperor, and enshrined His Majesty the Hongwu Emperor's sacred edict and two Yuan blue and white porcelain jars in the palace..."

This piece of silk has a long history. It records the hand-copied Buddhist scriptures, some golden Buddha statues and two large blue and white jars for worship.

This is roughly the meaning of what was written on the silk. However, the characters on the silk are all regular Chinese characters, but there are no punctuation marks or sentences. Yang Jing could only roughly translate it into this meaning.

Yang Jing knew that in the early Angkor Dynasty, especially in the late Angkor Dynasty, many Han people served in the Angkor Dynasty. The officials who recorded these events should be Han people, otherwise these events would not be recorded in Chinese characters on this silk.

Judging from the time, what is recorded on this silk is very consistent with the situation at that time.

The last king of the Angkor Dynasty was King Tamanon, who reigned for a full twenty years, from 1373 to 1393. During that period, the Thai people, that is, the Sukhothai Dynasty of Thailand, rose up. They constantly invaded the Angkor Dynasty and defeated it many times. Finally, in the 26th year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, Tamanon, the last king of the Angkor Dynasty, died in frustration, and he did not wait for the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty before his death.

But it is normal. The Ming Dynasty was unified only 20 years ago, and it was time to recuperate. Moreover, even if Zhu Yuanzhang used troops, he would not go to the Indochina Peninsula, a place full of smoke and miasma, to help the Angkor people. The remnants of the Yuan and Mongolia in the north were the biggest threat Zhu Yuanzhang needed to guard against. Therefore, it was inevitable that King Thammanon did not wait for the Ming Dynasty's reinforcements.

But from this record, it can be seen that some of the golden Buddha statues in the first box, the handwritten Buddhist scriptures and the imperial edict in the second box, as well as the two large Yuan blue and white porcelain jars with figures, were obviously preserved from the Thammanon era.

Khmer has always been a loyal brother of the Han people. No matter whether it was the Angkor Dynasty or the later Phnom Penh Dynasty, Khmer has always regarded China as its superior country, no matter it was the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty or the later Qing Dynasty.

On the one hand, the gifts from the superior country are indeed exquisite and extraordinary. For the kings of the Angkor Dynasty or the Phnom Penh Dynasty, they are all treasures. On the other hand, these treasures are all gifts from the emperors of the superior country, and they must be treated respectfully, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the superior country. If you don't treat these rewards respectfully, if you provoke the displeasure of the superior country, they can destroy you with just a flick of their fingers!

It is not surprising that the Khmer people enshrined the gifts bestowed by the emperor.

Obviously, most of the things in this bundle record the origins of these treasures, from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, and then to the Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty. Every treasure found in these six large boxes has a record of its origin.

Of course, there are some things that Yang Jing has not discovered yet. It is estimated that those treasures are all placed in the last remaining box.

However, judging from these records, these treasures were obviously looted by the Japanese invaders from Southeast Asia. From Burma to Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Annan, Malaysia, and Singapore, all the countries on the Indochina Peninsula were robbed by the Japanese invaders. Of course, the Philippines and Indonesia in the Pacific Ocean did not escape the clutches of the Japanese invaders.

The treasures stored in the previous boxes were all looted from these countries. Of course, these things are priceless even in the eyes of the Japanese, so when they were looting these top-grade treasures, they also snatched away the information recording the origins of these treasures.

This further proves Yang Jing's previous guess that the guy who presided over the robbery was definitely a Japanese who was extremely proficient in ancient Chinese culture, otherwise this guy would not have put so many top-quality treasures together.

At the bottom of the bundle, Yang Jing found a notebook written in Japanese. The contents of the notebook immediately proved Yang Jing's guess. The contents of the notebook translated roughly like this.
