It’s not that I don’t dare, it’s that I won’t go. Because Sun Dianying had long-standing grievances with the Qing Dynasty. Sun Chengzong was a famous general in the Ming Dynasty who fought against the Qing Dynasty. He was later killed by the Qing Dynasty. However, he also had the identity of being the ancestor of Sun Dianying. Therefore, Sun Dianying had a grudge against the Qing Dynasty in a certain sense, and not only that, his own father also He was killed by the Qing Dynasty people.
So after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Sun Dianying was very happy, but he couldn't bear the hatred, so he chose to steal the Eastern Tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties and dig up the royal tombs to repay his ancestors and father in a meaningful way. hatred. But after all, his ancestors served the Ming Dynasty, and they must be respected no matter what, so Sun Dianying did not touch the Ming Tombs.
And because the Ming Dynasty was different from the Qing Dynasty. Under the rule of the Manchu regime, corruption became common in the late Qing Dynasty, which caused great harm to the people. The Ming Dynasty was ruled by the Han people. If it was stolen, it would be scolded by the world.
And the reason why tomb robbers would risk notoriety to rob the tomb must be for money. The Dongling Tomb in the Qing Dynasty was not built for a long time. After all, it is also the tomb of Cixi. Everyone knows that Cixi loves treasures. Even if Cixi dies, she will be buried with many treasures. Sun Dianying also knew that there were many gold and silver treasures in Cixi's tomb.
Also, first come first come closer to the water. Sun Dianying’s troops are stationed in Zunhua, which is only one mountain away from the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty, but 160 kilometers away from the Ming Tombs. Of course, the principle of stealing tombs is to be close to them. , Of course I have to get closer, because it costs less.
Secondly, Sun Dianying was also very good at sizing up the situation. He seized on the fact that the Republic of China government at that time was full of thoughts about expelling the Tartars, and hung a fig leaf for his despicable act of robbing tombs. Sun Dianying excavated the Qing Dong Tomb on the grounds of revolutionizing the Manchu Qing government, so that stealing the Qing Dong Tomb became justifiable.
