Chapter 71 The National Treasure Case That Shocked China and the Rest of the World
For Sun Dianying, the imperial tomb of the Qing Dynasty is undoubtedly an attractive piece of fat, which has been aimed at for a long time, but has been suffering from no chance to start. The bandit Ma Futian haunted the Tanglin area, which happened to give Sun Dianying a wonderful excuse,
In the autumn of this year, under the guise of suppressing bandits, Sun Dianying led a team to enter Dingdongling, drove away Ma Futian, and immediately began to rob the tomb. As we all know, robbing tombs and digging graves is a matter of lack of morality, in this regard, Sun Dianying has a plan in his heart, his wishful thinking is that once the matter is revealed, he will put all the responsibility on Ma Futian, anyway, this bandit leader has long been notorious, and it is not a big deal to put one or two more charges on him.
After everything was ready, Sun Dianying immediately organized his subordinates to work together to carry all the treasures in the Tanglin Underground Palace. It took him seven days and seven nights to transport these priceless treasures in several carts, and you can imagine how huge this treasure is!
In addition to most of these things being possessed by Sun Dianying himself, the rest of the cronies and officers who followed him also received a lot, among them, Tan Wenjiang, the commander of the Eighth Division, who was Sun Dianying's favorite general, made enough oil and water!
Sun Dianying was born in Ding Xinzhuang, Mamu Town, Yongcheng, Henan, he is an authentic rural baby, and later, Sun Dianying grew up to lead more than 10,000 soldiers of the head of an army, relying on two things, one is bloody and desperate, and the second is old and calculating.
At that time, there was a habitual bandit in the Tanglin area, named Ma Futian, this guy led people into the Dingdongling Tomb early, and wanted to do a big thing, that is, to dig up Cixi's mausoleum, obtain the treasure in the coffin, and make a windfall.
In the name of suppressing bandits, Sun Dianying drove away Ma Futian and stationed in Dingdongling, and then began to rob tombs. The reason why Sun Dianying dared to rob the tomb was because he had already calculated that if the news of the tomb robbery leaked, then he would push the responsibility of the tomb robbery on Ma Futian, and let the unlucky thief be his scapegoat.
Sun Dianying thought very well, but his subordinate Tan Wenjiang, the commander of the Eighth Division (the commander who robbed Cixi's tomb), did a super stupid thing, otherwise the "laurel" of China's No. 1 tomb robber might not be able to wear it on Sun Dianying's head so far.
Sun Dianying successfully robbed the tomb, after withdrawing troops from Tanglin, the Tanglin area immediately set off the second ** tomb robbery, not only was the tomb buried by Sun Dianying's men reopened, Cixi's underground palace was cleaned more thoroughly for the second time, and the doors and windows, tables and chairs, incense burners and sacrifices of the Tanglin ground building were all stolen, if it is more vivid, Tanglin suffered an "unprecedented catastrophe" is not an exaggeration.
When Pu Yi got the news in Kulun, Manchuria, he immediately sent a telegram to Shang Zhen, chairman of Hebei Province, Chairman Jiang of Nanjing, and Yan Xishan, commander of the Beijing-Tianjin garrison, asking them to investigate thoroughly and severely punish the black hand of tomb robbery!
As soon as Sun Dianying heard that Shangfeng was going to investigate him, he didn't panic, and he didn't get busy, so he immediately divided his troops into multiple ways and sent people to send two things respectively, one was cash, and the other was a treasure dug up from Dongling.
As soon as these two magical things were in place, the "sword of punishment" hanging over Sun Dianying's head immediately disappeared into invisibility, although the police in Beijing and Tianjin searched for the tomb robbers in Tanglin and made it lively, but Sun Dianying knew that it was simply acting for Pu Yi to see.
In order to keep Sun Dianying away from the whirlpool of tomb robbery, Yan Xishan transferred him away from Zunhua and made him the town guard of the daimyo. But no matter how tightly Sun Dianying tied the fence to prevent the leakage of news, his subordinate Tan Wenjiang leaked the secret of Tanglin treasure theft.
Tan Wenjiang has a meritorious role in stealing the tomb, and was divided into a large number of treasures by Sun Dianying, Tan Wenjiang gave his wife a batch of Tanglin treasures in order to show off, according to normal reasoning, after Mrs. Tan got this treasure, she should hide it in the safe, and then take it out to show off in a few years, but this woman is born to be sad and urge goods, and not letting her show off is more uncomfortable than killing her.
Mrs. Tan found two big beads in this batch of treasures, sewn them on the tips of her shoes with silk threads, on this day, she led several maids to visit the capital, after visiting the capital, she went to the largest theater to watch the play, with the opera on the stage starting, the lights in the theater went out, but the two beads on the tips of Mrs. Tan's shoes, in the box, actually emitted a shining light.
At that time, there were two detectives lurking in the theater to find out the news of the treasure theft of Tanglin, and when they saw the bright light of the jewelry, they felt strange, they followed after the end of the opera, and the two found Tan Wenjiang's body from the beads on the tip of Mrs. Tan's shoes, and after Tan Wenjiang was arrested, he confessed the fact of stealing Cixi's mausoleum!
After Sun Dianying robbed the Qing Dynasty, it aroused the opposition of many forces. The last emperor Pu Yi learned that the tomb of his ancestors was stolen, howling and crying, swearing revenge to his ancestors, the last emperor Pu Yi and those Manchu nobles and Qing Dynasty relics gritted his teeth against him, suffering from the Manchu Qing Dynasty The general trend has gone, and he cannot take Sun Dianying's head, otherwise Sun Dianying's life will not be guaranteed. Pu Yi had no choice but to sue him to Chiang Kai-shek, demanding that Sun Dianying be severely punished and that the mausoleum be repaired. The Kuomintang ** began to arrest Sun Dianying, and Sun Dianying immediately bribed the Kuomintang, from Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Meiling to Dai Li, and Song Ziwen.
Afterwards, Sun Dianying bribed the top of the Kuomintang and escaped Pu Yi's liquidation. Among them, there is a heavyweight national treasure - the Nine Dragons Sword.
Why is the Nine Dragons Sword called a national treasure? The Nine Dragons Sword is the most precious treasure among Qianlong's funeral goods. Emperor Qianlong loved antique calligraphy and painting during his lifetime, is a famous collector (destroyer) in history, his favorite treasure is this five-inch long, inlaid with red sapphire, engraved with the Nine Dragons meaning "ninety-nine to one" Nine Dragons sword, and after his death, this love object will not leave his hand every day to be buried in his tomb.
After Sun Dianying sacked Dongling, this national treasure that had been sealed for hundreds of years saw the light of day, and Pu Yi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty in Tianjin, was furious when he learned about it, and wrote a letter to Chiang Kai-shek, asking for severe punishment of the tomb thief Sun Dianying, and returning the ancestral treasures to the throne one by one. However, Sun Dianying was cunning and cunning, and he gave the treasures he had stolen, such as the pearl worth 800 million yuan in Cixi's mouth to the first lady Song Meiling, and the Dongzhu Chaozhu pearl buried by Qianlong to Chiang Kai-shek's brother-in-law Song Ziwen, and wanted to hand over the 1 billion national treasure Nine Dragons Sword to Chiang Kai-shek's confidant Dai Li, so that he could transfer it to Chiang Kai-shek.
Although the national ** let him go, but Yan Xishan and his top did not get the benefits last time and would not let him go, Xu Yuanquan then sent 1 army into Zunhua to put pressure on him, and on the third day, there was a transfer of troops at home in a hurry, at this time, a team of soldiers came outside and took Sun Dianying away, Liang Lang first discussed with Sun's eldest wife Zhou Ningxiang how to treat Sun, and sent some treasures to Xu Yuanquan and did not release anyone.
