Judging from Sun Dianying's experience when he was young, he was also a model of poor boy's counterattack. He was born in Yongcheng, Henan Province, and lived on the streets since childhood. When I grew up, I walked the rivers and lakes, joined the temple and Taoist association, and met many black and white people.
The most beautiful thing in those days was the heads of various armies, all local tyrants, who could do whatever they wanted. As long as there are soldiers and guns in hand, they are not afraid of failure. You can change your family at any time, and it's still hot.
Sun Dianying took a fancy to this, took a group of people at 1922 and threw them at the door of the Henan warlord Lilac Ridge. Sun Dianying quickly climbed to the position of brigade commander by virtue of his ability to mix rivers and lakes. His men surrendered and rebelled, and he also had thousands of people.
In the following years, Sun Dianying took refuge in Feng's Zhang Zongchang and fought side by side with Xu Yongchang and Feng Yuxiang. Finally, it was incorporated by Chiang Kai-shek and became the commander of 12 army, stationed in Jidong.
The first person who thought of grave robbery was not Sun Dianying, but Ma Futian, another bandit collected by Feng Department. Tomb-raiding is an abomination to the whole world, and even China people with a little conscience refuse to do so. Desperate Ma Futian is too poor and crazy to care about these things. Unfortunately, his gun was not hard enough, and he was driven away by Sun Dianying's army before he started digging.
Sun Dianying also knew it was a shameful thing to rob a tomb, but the countless treasures in the two tombs made him decide to take risks. These two tombs are Yuling in Qianlong and Dingling in Cixi. According to the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Qing Dynasty, there are a lot of treasures buried in both tombs, and either one is rare and precious.
1July, 928, in the name of an exercise, Sun Dianying blocked all the three miles around Malanyu where the two imperial tombs were located, and asked the local county government to prepare 30 carts, falsely claiming that it would transport grain from other places.
This grave robbery can be said to be the lowest technical content in history. No need for feng shui experts, compasses and Luoyang shovels. There is a universal artifact that can easily open the grave, and that is explosives. Thousands of people climbed mountains, dug up suspected targets and loaded them with explosives. Boom, nothing can't be solved by a bundle of explosives. If so, install another package.
Sun Dianying stole the tomb of Cixi first. After opening the main coffin, he found that Cixi's body had not rotted for twenty years, and there was a huge pearl in her mouth. Poor Cixi, a strong woman who had been in charge of China for half a century, was insulted by robbers after her death. Cixi's treasures and clothes were robbed, so the treasures in the tomb could not escape Sun Dianying's plunder.
After Dingling was robbed, the Qianlong Imperial Tomb was bombed. According to Sun Dianying's later recollection, Gan Long's body has been corrupted, and the most precious thing is a string of beads and a Kowloon sword. I'm afraid how much treasure was stolen from the two tombs will never be clear, only that all 30 cars were full.
These are just treasures kept by Sun Dianying. Although he stipulated that his subordinates were not allowed to hide, the warlord's military discipline could be imagined. Every soldier in Sun Jun who participated in the grave robbery took the treasure from the grave. Many people were eager to sell their dirty clothes, became deserters and were captured in various places, which led to the discovery of grave robbery.
Dongling was stolen, and the world was in an uproar. Puyi found Chiang Kai-shek and demanded that Sun Dianying be severely punished and the treasure be recovered. The whole country also raised the voice of denouncing Sun Dianying's grave robbery. For a time, it seems that Sun Dianying can't escape the legal sanctions, and will soon be brought to justice.
But as a matter of fact, Sun Dianying was already in full operation, giving the stolen treasures to the military and political dignitaries at that time in order to buy them off for leniency in this matter. He gave the best treasures, such as Qianlong's Kowloon Sword, as gifts, and his handwriting was not small.
As a result, in the military court in June 5438+February of that year, Sun Dianying insisted that he didn't know, and his men acted without authorization, and finally went away. According to the later investigation, Shang Zhen, the presiding judge of the military court, has accepted a jade watermelon sent by Sun Dianying.
Sun Dianying's troops were downsized and turned into a new independent second brigade to continue the crusade against Zhang Zongchang. After the beginning of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Sun Dianying fought several battles with the Japanese army first, and then took refuge in the Japanese army. When the Anti-Japanese War was won, it was incorporated by the Kuomintang. Until the battle of Tangyin, he was captured by the People's Liberation Army. Finally, he died in the War Crimes Administration 1947.
Some of the treasures stolen by Sun Dianying were scattered abroad, some were collected by military and political officials in those days, and some were collected by the state in museums. The loss of these treasures is a great loss to the Chinese nation. I don't know when they will go home.
