Why didn't Sun Dianying steal He Shen's tomb?
Sun Dianying, a thief from Dongling, has various identities.
Sun Dianying, a native of Henan province today, is nicknamed "Ma Zi Sun". Since childhood, he has been bold and unrestrained, interacting with street hooligans. After growing up, he walked the rivers and lakes and joined the National Revolutionary Army in 1925.
Later, Sun Dianying participated in anti-Chiang actions with Feng Yuxiang for many times. In a war against Japan, Sun Dianying was captured, and he cooperated with the Japanese army to fight our army many times.
In p>1928, grave robbers led by Sun Dianying spent seven days and seven nights robbing the Qing royal cemetery, which made them notorious. They were the famous "thieves of Dongling" in history!
It can be seen that this punk born selling opium is not a professional grave robber!
He has different identities in different periods. Even if the Qing tombs such as the Qianlong of Cixi were stolen, he could still find a few dignified reasons for himself and defend himself.
At that time, Sun Dianying was in charge of the 12th Army of the Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China. He had no salary and could not support his brothers. As a matter of course, I started the idea of Qing Dongling, which is only separated from the station by a mountain.
Sun Dianying said this:
Man Qing killed three generations of his ancestors, and he wanted revenge. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and ruled the country for three hundred years, countless properties were looted, and it was only natural that he took them away from Sun Dianying.
Moreover, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Daxing Wenzi Prison opened coffins and slaughtered some literati. When he robbed the tomb, he did the same to him!
it seems that thieves have their way! How much wealth do big corrupt officials and gentry have buried with them?
Sun Dianying must have thought about stealing the grave of He Shen, a corrupt official. Stealing He Shen's mausoleum also has many advantages.
First of all, it seems that the tomb of the thief and Kun need not be condemned by the world! Because He Shen is a corrupt official and a sinner of history; Secondly, He Shen's tomb is not as strong as the imperial tomb. When it is dug up, there is no need to make so much noise.
then why didn't he do it in the end?
Sun Dianying, a man who has lived in the streets since childhood, is very clever and knows have it both ways. After he stole the royal cemetery of the Qing Dynasty, he also sent a lot of gold and silver jewelry to this and that.
So, if he wants to steal He Shen's tomb, he must do some homework. Is this tomb worth stealing? How to steal?
He Shen was a big corrupt official and the richest man in the Qing Empire. When He Shen was robbed, his property was valued at about 8 million to 1.1 billion taels of silver.
This figure is equivalent to the total tax revenue of the Qing government in 15 years! As a greedy person, He Shen is not wronged at all!
The point is:
When Qianlong died, Emperor Jiaqing came to power. He copied He Shen's home and gave He Shen a gift.
He Shen's death is undoubtedly a warning to both inside and outside the imperial court. Although He Shen was so powerful before his death that many people fawned on him, no one dared to collect his body after his death!
So how many funerary objects can He Shen, a sinner who was extremely rich before his death, have after being convicted of property theft? The geographical location of He Shen's tomb is not good, and it is difficult to dig it
The geographical location is an important factor for Sun Dianying to give up Hekun's tomb.
He Shen was powerful. Before his death, he had chosen a piece of land for himself in Jizhou (now Jixian), Hebei Province, and spent a huge sum of money to build a luxurious cemetery, which was called "He Ling" by the people.
He Ling is now in the center of Qiaoshui Reservoir in Jixian County, and most of the time it is submerged by the river. Only when the river is less every year can you stand on the bank of the reservoir and see the top of the tomb from a distance.
This tomb in the middle of the water, whether it's looking for a tomb or digging it, will take a lot of trouble! Besides, the tomb of He Shen may not be rich.
in the face of such a "dilapidated" small grave, will Sun Dianying still be tempted? Hekun's tomb, where is it? Opinions vary
Forty kilometers northwest of Beijing, in Wanwan Village, Qinglongqiao Town, Fangshan District, there are five humble graves in front of a mountain bag. Seven Gu Song trees surround the grave bag, showing that the owner of this tomb has an unusual status.
According to legend, He Shen, who is extremely rich, has prepared a treasure trove of geomantic omen for himself after a hundred years in Jizhou, Hebei Province, but he is not blessed.
On the 13th day of the first month in the fourth year of Jiaqing, Emperor Jiaqing announced 2 major sins of He Shen, including one:
"The tomb in Jizhou has set up an enjoyment hall and tunnels, and the nearby residents call it Heling"!
