In 1276, Zhang Hongfan, a Han Chinese general serving the Yuan army, invaded Lin’an.
But when Kublai Khan arrived in the Song capital, he discovered that the wealthy Song dynasty, where green jade served as roof tiles and gold as building material, had left behind less than three hundred thousand taels of silver.
Hundreds of millions of taels of silver and gold, countless treasures and antiques, books of divine prophecy, and the skills of master artisans had all been hidden away. Where was the treasure? Kublai Khan ordered Zhang Hongfan to find it at all costs.
In 1278, the naval Battle of Yashan brought the Song dynasty to an end. Lu Xiufu, the Song’s last chancellor, leapt into the sea with the emperor, taking his own life. Eight hundred soldiers who knew the truth followed them into the water, and one hundred thousand people involved in the affair died by suicide. The only person in the world who knew where the treasures were hidden was Wen Tianxiang, who refused to surrender even at the cost of his life.
On January 9, 1283, Wen Tianxiang was executed in Dadu. After that, no one knew where the treasure was.
From then on, countless emperors and generals searched for it, but found nothing. Some scholars believe that after Yashan, China was no more.
