Lightning and thundering in the sky, and the groundwater flows into a river. In the Japanese Concession Rumeng Hall, it is nailed firmly in the Japanese Concession like a nail. Every day, the Japanese face anti-espionage and anti-sabotage work. Every day, the Japanese in the lending industry will spread the news from here if there is any movement. Because Rumeng Hall has high walls and deep courtyards, the walls are covered with barbed wire fences, and the safety factor is quite high.
There are not many staff members in the Rumeng Hall. The training of all the personnel of the Supreme Dynasty had been moved out of the Rumeng Hall. The training venue was strictly confidential. The Rumeng Hall was the supreme industry. The Japanese consul stationed in the Japanese concession had no choice. Just like the Military Control Commission, there was currently a shortage of talents. The Military Control Commission began to recruit Green Gang members. The Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters urgently mobilized a large number of Japanese ronin from the country to enter Shanghai for espionage and sabotage. Because China and Japan have not yet started war, everything was carried out in secret.
Mr. Qin Wu and others were looking at the situation outside with the surveillance screen. Mr. Qin Wu pointed at two people standing across the street with an umbrella and a raincoat and said: Look, I am so dedicated. It's raining so heavily, and I'm still standing outside, peeking back and forth at the hall.
Let them go, after all, this place is the Japanese concession, and it is normal for us to be monitored, and they will not get anything valuable. We have basically given up on this activity venue, with only the left-behind personnel. I have an idea to formulate a careful plan to lead them out of the rental world and kill them without knowing it!
I'll arrange this! A supreme senior executive said
Never miss the slightest, this will make excuses for the Japanese. If their personnel are missing, they will definitely search in the concession. All the personnel here will be removed, all the monitoring equipment will be removed, blocked the underground secret passages, and wait for the right time to start, complete the retreat work within one day. Walk from the secret passages, without knowing it, take advantage of the heavy rain, and leave part of it first, let the captain do the rest.
Look, a car has stopped at the door! Mr. Qin pointed to the screen and said,
The screen shows that two people came out of a high-end car, wearing an umbrella, and then a man with a medium figure in a black windbreaker and a top hat. The top hat was pressed low and he couldn't see his face clearly. It was so hot that he was wearing a windbreaker. Lu Erjie and others immediately became alert.
The man walked to the black gate of Rumeng Hall and knocked on the door three times. Lu Erjie picked up the phone and ordered: Open the door and let him in.
Who is this person? Master Qin frowned and asked
Lu Erjie’s mysterious smile: You will know when you come!
The man in a windbreaker saw the door open, looked around and quickly walked into the guild hall. The gate of the guild hall was closed immediately. The two horsemen outside got into the car and waited.
Under the guidance of the supreme bodyguard, the man in black followed up to the second floor, looking left and right from time to time, obviously very nervous
Wait here, I'll go in and report! The bodyguard asked the man in black to stop
Rumeng Club Secret Office
Lu Erjie, Qin Wu and others sat quietly inside, and the bodyguard came in to report: Big brother, the person is here
Let him come in!
You come in! The bodyguard said
The man in black flashed in, the bodyguard went out, closed the door, and stood outside
Are you Mr. Lu? The man in black took off his politeness from his head, revealing a bumpy face with a pothole, his eyes were full of vitality, but a faint sense of a superior aura
I am, please sit down and have tea! Lu Erjie owed his body and did not stand up.
Sure enough, the phoenix is among the people! After Mazifang sat down, he said: I won’t drink tea. I can’t delay too much, so I left after saying that. Mazifang said simply, and then took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Lu Erjie.
Lu Erjie glanced at him and took a breath of cold air
This is all my property. If you offer a price, I will give it to you.
The number is not small, but it is still a gap from what I imagined. Where are those goods? Lu Erjie stared at the pockmarked face and asked
There is already a master to go, and I am afraid it will be difficult to find it, and all these are left. Pork face said
National scum! Lu Erjie cursed in his heart, suppressing his rising anger
You offer a price! Lu Erjie stared at the pockish face with a burning look, giving him strong psychological pressure
One hundred million US dollars!
If there are too many, I will give you at most half, you will decide for yourself! Lu Erjie said coldly
A little less! Pork face frowned, unhappy inside
Little? These things from you are not from the right way. Even if you sell them little by little, you can't sell them at this price. It's 50 million US dollars. You are one of the most wealthy people in the world. It's not a good thing to make a lot of money. I'm paying for national justice and paying for stolen goods. I won't let these treasures left by our ancestors go abroad. You are also a descendant of Yan and Huang. If you sell them abroad, I won't pursue them or report them. This is the condition of exchange, and you can do it!
Lu Erjie's unthinking answer
The deal! The pockmarked face is now so happy
Cash or check?
I want cash!
I will satisfy you, cash on delivery, pay for one hand and deliver the goods in the other, can I do it in three days?
no problem!
The big tree attracts wind, you have to be more careful. Let me tell you the truth, this is the Japanese concession. Just when you enter the door, there are Japanese people outside monitoring this place. You must have seen you, but you must not know who you are. Let me tell you that the two guards outside will pick you up at a location, and you will be taken out from the back door by my bodyguard.
Ma Zi's face was frightened, she stood up and hugged the person inside, and hurriedly left
When the person left, Master Qin Wu and others couldn't help asking: Who is this person?
The thief of the century! Sun Dianying! Lu Erjie said lightly, handing the list to Qin Wuye and others
Ah! Qin Wuye and others were surprised and said: Holy Son, will something happen?
Not afraid! He took the initiative to contact me with this batch of goods. Many extremely precious treasures were given to Chiang Kai-shek and important figures. No one dared to make a statement. Our national treasure acquisition plan was very smooth. After a nationwide large acquisition, there were only a few scattered among the people. The gold and other items coveted by the Japanese were our next acquisition plan. Sun Dianying dug up the tomb of Cixi in the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty. He obtained countless treasures. I packaged all the remaining ones in his hand and bought them. Spend some small money to leave a huge wealth for future generations. This deal is worth it.
From the beginning to now, Lu Erjie's acquisition plan has sorted out an astonishing tens of millions of various cultural relics, all of which have been preserved in their own space. Experts of various cultural relics are still continuously sorting out cultural relics collected from all over the country. There is no limit on the types. As long as they have collection value, all of them need to be sold at different prices.
If Sun Dianying brought these treasures, Lu Erjie's acquisition would come to an end
The batch of goods in Sun Dianying's hands has always been a hot potato in his hands. If it is not cashed out as soon as possible, even protection will be a problem. Sun Dianying has found the big buyer of the Supreme Group, which is considered to be the right person.
Attached is an introduction to Sun Dianying, the great thief of the last century:
In the spring of 1928, Ma Futian, a bandit who was incorporated by the former Fengtian Army, led his troops to defect and headed straight to Malanyu next to the Eastern Qing Dynasty tombs, deliberately digging graves and rob treasures for a long time.
At that time, the National Revolutionary Army had entered the Hebei region and the Fengtian army retreated north. There were many scattered bandits in the eastern Hebei area, which was extremely rampant.
Under such circumstances, the National Revolutionary Army sent Sun Dianying's troops to suppress the pacification
On the way, Sun Dianying often saw the magnificent palace of the Dongling Palace. In order to raise funds for bandit suppression, he had the idea of robbing the tomb.
Then, when he learned that Ma Futian had entered Malanyu and was preparing to dig the tomb, he immediately ordered the commander of the 8th Division, Tan Wenjiang, to lead his troops overnight and drove away Ma Futian.
At the same time, in order to cover up their eyes and ears, they posted notices everywhere, claiming that the troops were going to conduct military exercises and began planning tomb robbery operations
The last winged dragon Ah Hexuan who guards the tomb
In the summer of 1928, warlord Sun Dianying successfully completed the thief of the tomb in Zunhua County, Hebei Province.
Among the two tombs stolen, one is the Yuling of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and the other is the Dingling of Empress Dowager Cixi.
However, during the turbulent times, he was still in charge of the army and was promoted step by step until he was promoted to the advance commander-in-chief; the captured retaliatory Tan Wenjiang was also released on bail and continued to be his division commander...
This abnormal phenomenon is a true portrayal of society at that time
Sun Dianying is from Yongcheng, Henan Province. His real name is Sun Kuiyuan and his name is Dianying. Most people call him Sun Laodian.
In the early years of the Republic of China, warlords fought for years and were divided into kings.
Sun Dianying also took advantage of the situation and gathered the team to dominate the country.
In order to gain greater power, Sun Dianying successively defected to the commander of the western Henan garrison Ding Xiangling, the commander of the National Army Ye Quan and others, and later turned to Zhang Zongchang, who was born into a bandit. He was highly appreciated by Zhang and was appointed as the commander of the division.
Sun Dianying transformed himself into a military group through various means
Later, Sun Dianying led his troops to fight the Kuomintang, which was very favorable at first. Later, seeing that the situation was not good, he surrendered to Chiang Kai-shek and was appointed as the commander of the 12th Army of the Sixth Army, and stationed in Zunhua, Hebei.
In the summer of 1928, Sun Dianying led his troops to station in Mashen Bridge, Jixian County, which is only a mountain away from the Eastern Qing Tombs.
For Sun Dianying, the Qing Dynasty imperial tomb was undoubtedly a piece of fat that he had been coveting for a long time.
There are five imperial tombs in the Qing Dynasty, three are in Liaoning Province, and two are the east and west tombs in Zunhua County and Yi County, Hebei Province after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. This is the main part of the Qing tombs.
The Qianlong period was the most prosperous period of the Qing Dynasty. Empress Dowager Cixi was one of the most extravagant and extremely lustful people among the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, these tombs were also the most luxurious of the tombs of Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi, and countless rare treasures were placed inside.
When the Qing Dynasty gave way, the Dongling not only had to protect the tombs, but the institutions still inherited the Qing system. There were also flag soldiers, green camp soldiers stationed in the tombs to guard them, the clan mansion, the Ministry of Rites and Works and other institutions respectively undertake all the affairs of the tombs.
However, as the world changes, Dongling gradually leaves the control of the Qing Dynasty and falls into the hands of the Beiyang warlords
The minister of the Mausoleum was in name only and was often not in the official office. Not only did he not effectively protect the mausoleum, but he colluded with others to resell property.
As a result, the damage to Dongling increased day by day until someone attempted to fully explore and steal, making a fortune
In June 1928, the National Revolutionary Army successfully made its second Northern Expedition
At that time, Sun Dianying led his troops to guard Masan Bridge in Jixian County, which was only a mountain away from the Eastern Qing Tombs.
At that time, there was a habitual bandit Ma Futian. When he discovered that there was no one guarding the Dongling area, he joined other bandits to rob the treasures.
Upon hearing the news, Sun Dianying seized the opportunity, mobilized a regiment of troops, drove to Malanyu, blocked the Malanyu East Tomb in the name of military exercises, and after attacking the bandits, he put martial law within 30 miles of the Dongling, and digging the Dongling
In early July, Sun Dianying's troops drove away all the tomb guards in the name of landmines deploying military exercises, blocked the passes, implemented martial law, and looted Qianlong's Yuling and Cixi's Putuoyu Dingdongling.
Due to the tight blockade, although there are rumors outside, the truth is not known.
On the third day of stealing the tomb, Tan Wenjiang went to Beiping to visit Xu Yuanquan, commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army, to find out the limelight. When he saw the calm, he immediately returned to Dongling the next day and let the robbery dig
Before robbing the tomb, Sun Dianying first wrote a letter to the governor of Zunhua County. On the grounds that he understood the local suffering and could not bear to raise grain on the spot, he asked Zunhua County to hire more than 30 mules and horse carts to transport military grain from other places.
In this way, Sun Dianying paved the way for the transfer of tomb robbery treasures
The photos left back then show that: At first, the bandits did not know the entrance to the underground palace, but were excavated everywhere, with traces of their excavation left on the treasure roof, outside the side hall, and in the Ming Building.
In July 1928, the tomb robbers finally found the entrance to the underground palace.
It turned out that behind the tall Ming Building, there was a mute courtyard. It was said that the craftsmen recruited were all mute to prevent workers from leaking the secrets of the project.
On the north side of the mute courtyard, the entrance is the tunnel below the screen wall
The structure of the Eastern Qing Tombs is similar
Under the glazed screen wall is the entrance to the underground palace
If you dig horizontally from the front, you will encounter a brick-built tunnel; if you dig vertically from the treasure roof, it will increase the distance by multiple times; and if you fall directly under the glazed screen wall, you can open up the Vajra wall nearby and enter the underground palace from the shortest way
Those who can find this shortcut may know the inside story
The Mausoleum of Cixi is slightly different from the Mausoleum of Qianlong. Due to the limitations of feudal hierarchy, there is no mute courtyard for the Mausoleum of Cixi.
Enter the ancient cave gate at the bottom of the Ming Building. At the end of the aisle is a wall with iron tendons cast inside. Inside it is the Vajra Wall
The entrance to the underground palace is under this Vajra wall
The Dongling was built very strongly, and it was not easy to completely dig the floor tiles. The bandits were eager to steal treasures, so they used explosives.
In the broken bricks and stones filled with smoke, digging down several feet deep, and finally a white marble wall was revealed, which was the Diamond Wall.
A few stones were removed from the middle of the wall, revealing a dark hole.
As soon as they entered the palace gate, the bandits were fascinated by the magnificent buildings in the palace. They plundered frantically, from the gold bricks under their feet to the golden dragon on the ceiling, they were all taken away by them.
The biggest goal of Tan Wenjiang's trip is to find Cixi's underground palace
The path to the underground palace is very secret and the bandits cannot find it for a while
An old man who once built a mausoleum here told the way to the underground palace
The entrance to the underground palace was found, but it was very strong and ordinary equipment could not be opened at all. Finally, they brought explosives and opened the entrance.
Sun Dianying exploded the Dingdong Tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi and found the corpse of Cixi Yehenara clan. Although it took more than ten years, it did not rot.
Sun's army stole a large number of rare treasures from the inner coffin of the golden coffin
But he was still not satisfied and digging Yuling of Emperor Qianlong Hongli. He went to the tomb himself to see the treasures, and obtained countless pearls, jade, jade, ivory, carvings, calligraphy, paintings, bookmarks, swords, etc.
Forty or fifty boxes were loaded, and then stamped and brought back to the military camp.
Later he recalled: Qianlong's tomb was extremely grand. Qianlong's body had melted in the coffin, leaving only hair and braids to bury treasures. The most precious one was a string of court beads on the neck, the largest of which were vermilion red, and a nine-dragon sword. Nine dragons were embedded in the scabbard surface, and the hilt of the sword was filled with beads...
From the "Empress Xiaoqin's Funeral, Clothes, Rewarding Clothes" book by the Qing Dynasty Office of the Internal Affairs and Li Chengwu's "Aiyuexuan Notes", it can be seen that the burial objects of Cixi's tomb are so huge and worth a city
Regarding the treasures in the Qianlong Yuling Mausoleum, there is no detailed record to check, and it can only be calculated based on the stolen goods found and the number of vehicles used by Sun Dianying's troops when robbing the tomb.
Long before the tomb robbery, Sun Dianying had collected 30 large trucks from Zunhua County in the name of understanding the sufferings of the local area and unable to bear to raise food on the spot. You can imagine how many treasures these 30 large trucks would need to be loaded.
In addition, it can also be seen from the intercepted and handed over the stolen goods of the tombs.
After Sun Dianying, Tan Wenjiang and others were eager to sell the stolen goods after robbing the Dongling Mausoleum, they were engaged in activities at home and abroad.
Tan Wenjiang and others sneaked into Peking (now Beijing), secretly entrusted antique merchant Huang Baichuan to sell treasures on behalf of others, and were intercepted by the garrison headquarters.
On August 4, 1928, the detective team of the Qingdao Police Department seized three soldiers, including Sun Dianying's deserter Zhang Qihou, and seized 36 orbs he carried.
According to Zhang's confession, he also sold 10 pieces in Tianjin and received 1,200 yuan in coins. These 46 pearls were picked up in the underground palace of Cixi.
Even if a soldier can have 46 orbs, you can imagine the treasures obtained by the company, battalion, regiment, brigade, division, and commander.
On August 14, 1928, the Tianjin Garrison Command seized Dongling cultural relics attempting to transport them at the customs. There were 35 boxes, including a long table of Daming lacquer, a golden lacquer fan and a tile kilin, a tile hunter, a tile Kuixing, a tile lacquer paintware, pottery, etc. The tile was entrusted by an antique dealer to transport it from Beijing to Tianjin, for export, and transported to France, with a reported value of 220,000 yuan.
At the same time, 24 copper Buddha statues attempted to be carried by Song Rumei, a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the National Government, were intercepted in Zunhua, as well as 10 rubbing banners written by Qianlong.
More than two months after the Dongling incident, Xu Yuanquan, commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army, handed over more than 300 pieces of cultural relics from Dongling, including gold-inlaid bracelets, rubies, sapphires, tourmalines, Han jade rings, jadeite, red coral dragon head, flower coral beans, agate double-mouth snuff bottles, white jade snuff bottles, etc.
This shows the huge treasure stolen by Sun Dianying's tribe
After Sun Dianying was discovered, people were in an uproar
Some bannermen groups, as well as the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, including Puyi, who lived in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin (Zhangyuan), sued Chiang Kai-shek and demanded severe punishment.
This incident caused a sensation across the country.
However, just as the government officials were investigating, Sun Dianying was calm and calm. He actually submitted a submission to Xu Yuanquan, the commander of the Sixth Army, as the commander of the 12th Army and a third party other than the case. He defended Tan Wenjiang, the commander of the tomb thieves and the commander of the 8th Division, and listed the reasons why Tan had nothing to do with the tomb thieves case.
Xu Yuanquan read Sun's report and asked someone to send a message to Sun, giving Sun advice: Your Sun Dianying was too reckless this time and was so arrogant that all parties had already had an uproar. I couldn't cover the sky and shelter it.
But you must try to clear the key figures. Whether it is OK or not depends on your methods.
You have captured a lot this time, and outsiders say there are tens of thousands of people. You can't bear to bear the children and can't trap the wolf. If you want to calm the storm, you have to pay a lot of money.
Even the commanders of each legion and the commanders of each legion should try to deal with them. As long as they do not attack them together, the people can be subdued.
Sun Dianying understood the gods and quickly selected a batch of precious items from the Dongling stolen goods. One of them was a nine-dragon sword with nine golden dragons embedded on the surface and gems embedded on the hilt of the sword. Sun entrusted Dai Li to give it to Chiang Kai-shek; another sword was a nine-dragon sword and gave it to He Yingqin.
There are 108 court beads on Qianlong's neck, which are said to represent the Eighteen Arhats and are priceless treasures. The two largest vermilion reds were given to Dai Li when Sun was in Tianjin. Cixi's pillow was an emerald watermelon, and Sun asked Dai Li to give to Song Ziwen. The night pearl in Cixi's mouth was the most precious. It was two pieces, and it was a ball that closed together, which was transparent and dull. When it closed together, it emitted a cold green light. The hair could be seen within a hundred steps at night. Sun also asked Dai Li to give to Soong Meiling.
Kong Xiangxi and Song Ailing were very jealous when they saw this, so Sun chose two more strings of gems on his shoes before he could finish his life.
And gave the gold worth 500,000 yuan to Yan Xishan
Sun Dianying defended her: The Qing Dynasty killed my ancestors for three generations and had to take revenge on the revolutionary Sun Yat-sen had the Tongmenghui and the Kuomintang, which revolutionized the Qing Dynasty. Feng Huanzhang (Feng Yuxiang) used a gun to force the palace to drive the last emperor Puyi and his royal family out of the palace. I, Sun Dianying, had few guns, only the life of the people who were killed. No matter what others said, robbing the tomb or robbing the tomb, I am worthy of my ancestors and my compatriots in the Han Dynasty!
And said: There are three benefits for me to discover the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty.
First, when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, Daxing Wenzhuo killed scholars online. People like Lu Liuliang and Dai Mingshi were all opened to kill corpses. Although I was not talented, I also knew that the Buddhist scriptures said that they would give them their own way. Second, the Qing Dynasty had been ruled for three hundred years, and I don’t know much money. Today, I am sending the tomb to open the world’s wealth, collect the benefits of operation, and collect the national treasury.
[1] Since the Dongling was stolen, the Qing officials went to the garrison headquarters many times to demand severe punishment of the tomb thieves, but the main criminal Tan Wenjiang was released on bail, and many other tomb thieves escaped from Beiping.
People from all walks of life have called the government to request that the case be handled impartially quickly and impartially. The Peking Chamber of Commerce requested a special court to organize a trial of the case.
As a last resort, Yan Xishan ordered the garrison headquarters to organize a military court quickly, and the military court was appointed as the presiding judge.
Forced by public opinion, the Army Prison immediately re-detained Tan Wenjiang, who was released on bail, awaiting trial
At the same time, Xu Yuanquan, commander-in-chief of the 6th Army, also sealed and preserved the so-called Dongling treasures obtained from the bandit suppression in Malanyu, and transferred them to the garrison headquarters, and told the outside world that he would never be lenient to his subordinates.
The Dongling Robbery Case was investigated in mid-December 1928 and has since returned to silence.
Until the pre-trial trial was held on April 20 of the following year, and the final trial was held on June 8
During the preliminary trial, the main culprit Tan Wenjiang refused to admit the excavation, and the main culprit Sun Dianying was even more at ease. He was appointed as the commander of the newly formed Independent Second Brigade by the National Government and worked with Ren Yingqi to attack Zhang Zongchang.
On June 15, the military court decided to submit the trial letter to the central government, and put the suspects such as Tan Wenjiang in custody, and the Dongling robbery case that had been pending for a long time ended.
Several months have passed since the military court reported the case, and it is difficult to make a judgment due to the complicated circumstances.
At this time, Sun Dianying had led his army to Longhai Line to contact Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang, and he also impressed more than 20,000 people from the civilian army near Songshan. He was highly valued by Yan and Feng
After Sun Dianying negotiated with Yan Xishan, Tan Wenjiang was also released
Later, Sun Dianying continued to be promoted to the chairman of Anhui Province and temporarily appointed commander of the Fifth Army.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he and Pang Bingxun surrendered to the enemy to organize the New Five Army
After Japan surrendered, he became a loyal minister who saved the country on the curve. He was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the advance army and became the enemy of the People's Liberation Army.
During the People's Liberation Army's battle to liberate Tangyin, Henan, this main culprit of the tomb who had been at large for more than 20 years was finally captured by the People's Liberation Army and later died in the war criminal's retention center.
There are not many staff members in the Rumeng Hall. The training of all the personnel of the Supreme Dynasty had been moved out of the Rumeng Hall. The training venue was strictly confidential. The Rumeng Hall was the supreme industry. The Japanese consul stationed in the Japanese concession had no choice. Just like the Military Control Commission, there was currently a shortage of talents.

I am, please sit down and have tea! Lu Erjie owed his body and did not stand up.
Sure enough, the phoenix is among the people! After Mazifang sat down, he said: I won’t drink tea. I can’t delay too much, so I left after saying that. Mazifang said simply, and then took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Lu Erjie.

Attached is an introduction to Sun Dianying, the great thief of the last century:
In the spring of 1928, Ma Futian, a bandit who was incorporated by the former Fengtian Army, led his troops to defect and headed straight to Malanyu next to the Eastern Qing Dynasty tombs, deliberately digging graves and rob treasures for a long time.
At that time, the National Revolutionary Army had entered the Hebei region and the Fengtian army retreated north. There were many scattered bandits in the eastern Hebei area, which was extremely rampant.
Under such circumstances, the National Revolutionary Army sent Sun Dianying's troops to suppress the pacification
On the way, Sun Dianying often saw the magnificent palace of the Dongling Palace. In order to raise funds for bandit suppression, he had the idea of robbing the tomb.
Then, when he learned that Ma Futian had entered Malanyu and was preparing to dig the tomb, he immediately ordered the commander of the 8th Division, Tan Wenjiang, to lead his troops overnight and drove away Ma Futian.
At the same time, in order to cover up their eyes and ears, they posted notices everywhere, claiming that the troops were going to conduct military exercises and began planning tomb robbery operations
The last winged dragon Ah Hexuan who guards the tomb
In the summer of 1928, warlord Sun Dianying successfully completed the thief of the tomb in Zunhua County, Hebei Province.
Among the two tombs stolen, one is the Yuling of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and the other is the Dingling of Empress Dowager Cixi.
However, during the turbulent times, he was still in charge of the army and was promoted step by step until he was promoted to the advance commander-in-chief; the captured retaliatory Tan Wenjiang was also released on bail and continued to be his division commander...
This abnormal phenomenon is a true portrayal of society at that time
Sun Dianying is from Yongcheng, Henan Province. His real name is Sun Kuiyuan and his name is Dianying. Most people call him Sun Laodian.
In the early years of the Republic of China, warlords fought for years and were divided into kings.
Sun Dianying also took advantage of the situation and gathered the team to dominate the country.
In order to gain greater power, Sun Dianying successively defected to the commander of the western Henan garrison Ding Xiangling, the commander of the National Army Ye Quan and others, and later turned to Zhang Zongchang, who was born into a bandit. He was highly appreciated by Zhang and was appointed as the commander of the division.
Sun Dianying transformed himself into a military group through various means
Later, Sun Dianying led his troops to fight the Kuomintang, which was very favorable at first. Later, seeing that the situation was not good, he surrendered to Chiang Kai-shek and was appointed as the commander of the 12th Army of the Sixth Army, and stationed in Zunhua, Hebei.
In the summer of 1928, Sun Dianying led his troops to station in Mashen Bridge, Jixian County, which is only a mountain away from the Eastern Qing Tombs.
For Sun Dianying, the Qing Dynasty imperial tomb was undoubtedly a piece of fat that he had been coveting for a long time.
There are five imperial tombs in the Qing Dynasty, three are in Liaoning Province, and two are the east and west tombs in Zunhua County and Yi County, Hebei Province after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. This is the main part of the Qing tombs.
The Qianlong period was the most prosperous period of the Qing Dynasty. Empress Dowager Cixi was one of the most extravagant and extremely lustful people among the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, these tombs were also the most luxurious of the tombs of Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi, and countless rare treasures were placed inside.
When the Qing Dynasty gave way, the Dongling not only had to protect the tombs, but the institutions still inherited the Qing system. There were also flag soldiers, green camp soldiers stationed in the tombs to guard them, the clan mansion, the Ministry of Rites and Works and other institutions respectively undertake all the affairs of the tombs.
However, as the world changes, Dongling gradually leaves the control of the Qing Dynasty and falls into the hands of the Beiyang warlords
The minister of the Mausoleum was in name only and was often not in the official office. Not only did he not effectively protect the mausoleum, but he colluded with others to resell property.
As a result, the damage to Dongling increased day by day until someone attempted to fully explore and steal, making a fortune
In June 1928, the National Revolutionary Army successfully made its second Northern Expedition
At that time, Sun Dianying led his troops to guard Masan Bridge in Jixian County, which was only a mountain away from the Eastern Qing Tombs.
At that time, there was a habitual bandit Ma Futian. When he discovered that there was no one guarding the Dongling area, he joined other bandits to rob the treasures.
Upon hearing the news, Sun Dianying seized the opportunity, mobilized a regiment of troops, drove to Malanyu, blocked the Malanyu East Tomb in the name of military exercises, and after attacking the bandits, he put martial law within 30 miles of the Dongling, and digging the Dongling
In early July, Sun Dianying's troops drove away all the tomb guards in the name of landmines deploying military exercises, blocked the passes, implemented martial law, and looted Qianlong's Yuling and Cixi's Putuoyu Dingdongling.
Due to the tight blockade, although there are rumors outside, the truth is not known.
On the third day of stealing the tomb, Tan Wenjiang went to Beiping to visit Xu Yuanquan, commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army, to find out the limelight. When he saw the calm, he immediately returned to Dongling the next day and let the robbery dig
Before robbing the tomb, Sun Dianying first wrote a letter to the governor of Zunhua County. On the grounds that he understood the local suffering and could not bear to raise grain on the spot, he asked Zunhua County to hire more than 30 mules and horse carts to transport military grain from other places.
In this way, Sun Dianying paved the way for the transfer of tomb robbery treasures
The photos left back then show that: At first, the bandits did not know the entrance to the underground palace, but were excavated everywhere, with traces of their excavation left on the treasure roof, outside the side hall, and in the Ming Building.
In July 1928, the tomb robbers finally found the entrance to the underground palace.
It turned out that behind the tall Ming Building, there was a mute courtyard. It was said that the craftsmen recruited were all mute to prevent workers from leaking the secrets of the project.
On the north side of the mute courtyard, the entrance is the tunnel below the screen wall
The structure of the Eastern Qing Tombs is similar
Under the glazed screen wall is the entrance to the underground palace
If you dig horizontally from the front, you will encounter a brick-built tunnel; if you dig vertically from the treasure roof, it will increase the distance by multiple times; and if you fall directly under the glazed screen wall, you can open up the Vajra wall nearby and enter the underground palace from the shortest way
Those who can find this shortcut may know the inside story
The Mausoleum of Cixi is slightly different from the Mausoleum of Qianlong. Due to the limitations of feudal hierarchy, there is no mute courtyard for the Mausoleum of Cixi.
Enter the ancient cave gate at the bottom of the Ming Building. At the end of the aisle is a wall with iron tendons cast inside. Inside it is the Vajra Wall
The entrance to the underground palace is under this Vajra wall
The Dongling was built very strongly, and it was not easy to completely dig the floor tiles. The bandits were eager to steal treasures, so they used explosives.
In the broken bricks and stones filled with smoke, digging down several feet deep, and finally a white marble wall was revealed, which was the Diamond Wall.
A few stones were removed from the middle of the wall, revealing a dark hole.
As soon as they entered the palace gate, the bandits were fascinated by the magnificent buildings in the palace. They plundered frantically, from the gold bricks under their feet to the golden dragon on the ceiling, they were all taken away by them.
The biggest goal of Tan Wenjiang's trip is to find Cixi's underground palace
The path to the underground palace is very secret and the bandits cannot find it for a while
An old man who once built a mausoleum here told the way to the underground palace
The entrance to the underground palace was found, but it was very strong and ordinary equipment could not be opened at all. Finally, they brought explosives and opened the entrance.
Sun Dianying exploded the Dingdong Tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi and found the corpse of Cixi Yehenara clan. Although it took more than ten years, it did not rot.
Sun's army stole a large number of rare treasures from the inner coffin of the golden coffin
But he was still not satisfied and digging Yuling of Emperor Qianlong Hongli. He went to the tomb himself to see the treasures, and obtained countless pearls, jade, jade, ivory, carvings, calligraphy, paintings, bookmarks, swords, etc.
Forty or fifty boxes were loaded, and then stamped and brought back to the military camp.
Later he recalled: Qianlong's tomb was extremely grand. Qianlong's body had melted in the coffin, leaving only hair and braids to bury treasures. The most precious one was a string of court beads on the neck, the largest of which were vermilion red, and a nine-dragon sword. Nine dragons were embedded in the scabbard surface, and the hilt of the sword was filled with beads...
From the "Empress Xiaoqin's Funeral, Clothes, Rewarding Clothes" book by the Qing Dynasty Office of the Internal Affairs and Li Chengwu's "Aiyuexuan Notes", it can be seen that the burial objects of Cixi's tomb are so huge and worth a city
Regarding the treasures in the Qianlong Yuling Mausoleum, there is no detailed record to check, and it can only be calculated based on the stolen goods found and the number of vehicles used by Sun Dianying's troops when robbing the tomb.
Long before the tomb robbery, Sun Dianying had collected 30 large trucks from Zunhua County in the name of understanding the sufferings of the local area and unable to bear to raise food on the spot. You can imagine how many treasures these 30 large trucks would need to be loaded.
In addition, it can also be seen from the intercepted and handed over the stolen goods of the tombs.
After Sun Dianying, Tan Wenjiang and others were eager to sell the stolen goods after robbing the Dongling Mausoleum, they were engaged in activities at home and abroad.
Tan Wenjiang and others sneaked into Peking (now Beijing), secretly entrusted antique merchant Huang Baichuan to sell treasures on behalf of others, and were intercepted by the garrison headquarters.
On August 4, 1928, the detective team of the Qingdao Police Department seized three soldiers, including Sun Dianying's deserter Zhang Qihou, and seized 36 orbs he carried.
According to Zhang's confession, he also sold 10 pieces in Tianjin and received 1,200 yuan in coins. These 46 pearls were picked up in the underground palace of Cixi.
Even if a soldier can have 46 orbs, you can imagine the treasures obtained by the company, battalion, regiment, brigade, division, and commander.
On August 14, 1928, the Tianjin Garrison Command seized Dongling cultural relics attempting to transport them at the customs. There were 35 boxes, including a long table of Daming lacquer, a golden lacquer fan and a tile kilin, a tile hunter, a tile Kuixing, a tile lacquer paintware, pottery, etc. The tile was entrusted by an antique dealer to transport it from Beijing to Tianjin, for export, and transported to France, with a reported value of 220,000 yuan.
At the same time, 24 copper Buddha statues attempted to be carried by Song Rumei, a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the National Government, were intercepted in Zunhua, as well as 10 rubbing banners written by Qianlong.
More than two months after the Dongling incident, Xu Yuanquan, commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army, handed over more than 300 pieces of cultural relics from Dongling, including gold-inlaid bracelets, rubies, sapphires, tourmalines, Han jade rings, jadeite, red coral dragon head, flower coral beans, agate double-mouth snuff bottles, white jade snuff bottles, etc.
This shows the huge treasure stolen by Sun Dianying's tribe
After Sun Dianying was discovered, people were in an uproar
Some bannermen groups, as well as the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, including Puyi, who lived in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin (Zhangyuan), sued Chiang Kai-shek and demanded severe punishment.
This incident caused a sensation across the country.
However, just as the government officials were investigating, Sun Dianying was calm and calm. He actually submitted a submission to Xu Yuanquan, the commander of the Sixth Army, as the commander of the 12th Army and a third party other than the case. He defended Tan Wenjiang, the commander of the tomb thieves and the commander of the 8th Division, and listed the reasons why Tan had nothing to do with the tomb thieves case.
Xu Yuanquan read Sun's report and asked someone to send a message to Sun, giving Sun advice: Your Sun Dianying was too reckless this time and was so arrogant that all parties had already had an uproar. I couldn't cover the sky and shelter it.
But you must try to clear the key figures. Whether it is OK or not depends on your methods.
You have captured a lot this time, and outsiders say there are tens of thousands of people. You can't bear to bear the children and can't trap the wolf. If you want to calm the storm, you have to pay a lot of money.
Even the commanders of each legion and the commanders of each legion should try to deal with them. As long as they do not attack them together, the people can be subdued.
Sun Dianying understood the gods and quickly selected a batch of precious items from the Dongling stolen goods. One of them was a nine-dragon sword with nine golden dragons embedded on the surface and gems embedded on the hilt of the sword. Sun entrusted Dai Li to give it to Chiang Kai-shek; another sword was a nine-dragon sword and gave it to He Yingqin.
There are 108 court beads on Qianlong's neck, which are said to represent the Eighteen Arhats and are priceless treasures. The two largest vermilion reds were given to Dai Li when Sun was in Tianjin. Cixi's pillow was an emerald watermelon, and Sun asked Dai Li to give to Song Ziwen. The night pearl in Cixi's mouth was the most precious. It was two pieces, and it was a ball that closed together, which was transparent and dull. When it closed together, it emitted a cold green light. The hair could be seen within a hundred steps at night. Sun also asked Dai Li to give to Soong Meiling.
Kong Xiangxi and Song Ailing were very jealous when they saw this, so Sun chose two more strings of gems on his shoes before he could finish his life.
And gave the gold worth 500,000 yuan to Yan Xishan
Sun Dianying defended her: The Qing Dynasty killed my ancestors for three generations and had to take revenge on the revolutionary Sun Yat-sen had the Tongmenghui and the Kuomintang, which revolutionized the Qing Dynasty. Feng Huanzhang (Feng Yuxiang) used a gun to force the palace to drive the last emperor Puyi and his royal family out of the palace. I, Sun Dianying, had few guns, only the life of the people who were killed. No matter what others said, robbing the tomb or robbing the tomb, I am worthy of my ancestors and my compatriots in the Han Dynasty!
And said: There are three benefits for me to discover the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty.
First, when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, Daxing Wenzhuo killed scholars online. People like Lu Liuliang and Dai Mingshi were all opened to kill corpses. Although I was not talented, I also knew that the Buddhist scriptures said that they would give them their own way. Second, the Qing Dynasty had been ruled for three hundred years, and I don’t know much money. Today, I am sending the tomb to open the world’s wealth, collect the benefits of operation, and collect the national treasury.
[1] Since the Dongling was stolen, the Qing officials went to the garrison headquarters many times to demand severe punishment of the tomb thieves, but the main criminal Tan Wenjiang was released on bail, and many other tomb thieves escaped from Beiping.
People from all walks of life have called the government to request that the case be handled impartially quickly and impartially. The Peking Chamber of Commerce requested a special court to organize a trial of the case.
As a last resort, Yan Xishan ordered the garrison headquarters to organize a military court quickly, and the military court was appointed as the presiding judge.
Forced by public opinion, the Army Prison immediately re-detained Tan Wenjiang, who was released on bail, awaiting trial
At the same time, Xu Yuanquan, commander-in-chief of the 6th Army, also sealed and preserved the so-called Dongling treasures obtained from the bandit suppression in Malanyu, and transferred them to the garrison headquarters, and told the outside world that he would never be lenient to his subordinates.
The Dongling Robbery Case was investigated in mid-December 1928 and has since returned to silence.
Until the pre-trial trial was held on April 20 of the following year, and the final trial was held on June 8
During the preliminary trial, the main culprit Tan Wenjiang refused to admit the excavation, and the main culprit Sun Dianying was even more at ease. He was appointed as the commander of the newly formed Independent Second Brigade by the National Government and worked with Ren Yingqi to attack Zhang Zongchang.
On June 15, the military court decided to submit the trial letter to the central government, and put the suspects such as Tan Wenjiang in custody, and the Dongling robbery case that had been pending for a long time ended.
Several months have passed since the military court reported the case, and it is difficult to make a judgment due to the complicated circumstances.
At this time, Sun Dianying had led his army to Longhai Line to contact Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang, and he also impressed more than 20,000 people from the civilian army near Songshan. He was highly valued by Yan and Feng
After Sun Dianying negotiated with Yan Xishan, Tan Wenjiang was also released
Later, Sun Dianying continued to be promoted to the chairman of Anhui Province and temporarily appointed commander of the Fifth Army.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he and Pang Bingxun surrendered to the enemy to organize the New Five Army
After Japan surrendered, he became a loyal minister who saved the country on the curve. He was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the advance army and became the enemy of the People's Liberation Army.
During the People's Liberation Army's battle to liberate Tangyin, Henan, this main culprit of the tomb who had been at large for more than 20 years was finally captured by the People's Liberation Army and later died in the war criminal's retention center.
