Under the leadership of Jiang Mason, Sun Dianying finally found the entrance to the tomb. However, the entrance of the tomb is blocked tightly by multiple layers of granite, and the stones are cemented with tung oil glutinous rice lime mortar, which can be described as seamless and impermeable.

The commander of the engineer battalion asked for two large barrels of nitrate water and tried to use erosion to open the stone barrier. However, a lot of nitrate water has been used, but the effect is not significant, and the stone gate still stands majestically there.

It was the middle of the night, and the officers and soldiers who were digging the grave were so tired that they were sweating and collapsed to the ground. Sun Dianying looked anxious: It's all here, do you want to go back empty-handed?

He remembered the explosives again.

I don't believe that there is anything in this world that is as hard as the detonator in Lao Tzu's hands!

Rub, fuck it!

Immediately ask someone to load up the explosives and pull the fuse. Listening to a few loud noises of "boom, boom", the tomb road of Cixi's mausoleum was blown open a huge hole. In an instant, a "whoosh" -- a smug breath erupted from the tomb, causing the officers and men to retreat in fright.

Rub, poisonous!

"His grandmother's, don't hurry up yet!" Sun Dianying roared with red eyes.

The gravediggers were afraid of Sun Dianying's obscenity, so they had to cover their noses, carry horse lanterns, and walk down the tomb road tremblingly.

At this time, I only heard Sun Dianying shouting again: "His grandmother's, no one is allowed to come, whoever comes to me will collapse him!" ”

Subsequently, he arranged for Commander Tan to lead a platoon of soldiers to block the entrance of the tomb. Anyone who is found to have absconded with treasure will be punished on the spot.

With infinite fear, these officers and soldiers trembled through the tomb and entered the underground palace. But seeing the jewels on the stone offering table shining, it is very similar to the scene after "the sesame opens the door" in "One Thousand and One Nights".

These bandits, who had not been paid for half a year, were like these bandits released from the starvation prison, and they couldn't take much care of it, so they rushed up and snatched all the funeral treasures on the offering table.

However, they were not greedy enough, and they slashed with knives and axes, and opened Cixi's coffin, and the coffin full of gold, silver and jewelry was even more brilliant. The bandits rushed to the coffin again and looted the treasures inside.

During the looting, Cixi's body was pulled out of the coffin; In the scramble for the treasure of the corpse, the corpse was disassembled, which was miserable.

Three officers killed each other for the treasure and died in the underground palace. When the bandits pried the coffin, they found another hole in the ground, and robbed all the treasures in the hole.

After the robbery of Cixi's tomb, Sun Dianying targeted Qianlong's Yuling.

The excavation method is the same as before, and the entrance to the tomb is blown open with explosives.

Qianlong's underground palace was more palatial than Cixi's, but his body had long since decayed, and only hair and ribs remained. After the bandits entered, they also looted the treasures of Qianlong's coffin.

After that, Sun Dianying set his sights on the filial piety tomb of Shunzhi, because he heard that Emperor Shunzhi was a monk in Wutai Mountain during his lifetime, and the coffin in the tomb was an empty coffin, so he did not start. Then he planned to dig Kangxi's Jingling, was about to start, but unexpectedly the yellow water flowed out of the ditch under the stone, and then flowed smoothly like a waterfall, and the ground had accumulated more than two feet of water in an instant, so he did not do it.

Seven days and seven nights later, Sun Dianying's department returned with a full load.

As for the treasures in Qianlong's Yuling, because there is no detailed record to check, it can only be estimated based on the stolen goods found and the number of vehicles used by Sun Dianying's department to rob the tomb.

Long before the robbery of the tomb, Sun Dianying had requisitioned 30 carts from Zunhua County in the name of "understanding local hardships and not being able to bear to raise grain on the spot", and it is conceivable how many treasures these 30 carts will contain.

According to the archives of the Forbidden City's Internal Affairs Office and other materials, the burial goods in Cixi's underground palace can be roughly divided into two categories: before and after death.

In the book "Filial Piety to the Queen, Sending Clothes Edition, and Appreciating the Clothes of the Remains", it records the treasures placed in the underground palace during Cixi's lifetime from March 25, 1879 (April 16, 1879) to October 15, 1908, the 34th year of Guangxu. There are more than 150 pieces of golden flower flat bracelets, red baguio beans, gold inlaid holding pots, golden Buddhas, coral Buddha head pagodas, etc. (the pearls, east pearls, and rice beads on each treasure are thousands).

The treasures of Cixi's burial after her death were even more extravagant.

According to Li Chengwu, the eldest son of Li Lianying, the chief administrator of the inner court, wrote the "Notes on Aiyuexuan": "When the queen mother was not in the coffin, she first laid a layer of gold filigree mattress at the bottom of the coffin, and then spread a layer of beads on the mattress, and the beads were covered with a thin mattress embroidered with Buddha beads. The head is placed in front of the emerald lotus leaf, and the foot is placed in a tourmaline lotus. After release, the Queen Mother was carried in. After the two feet on the lotus, the head of the lotus leaf. Dressed in a gold silk beaded color embroidered dress, the cover is embroidered and beaded hanging, and the beads are used to wrap around the back of the body, and 18 statues of the clam Buddha are placed on the back arm. The treasures placed above are private filial piety, and are not listed in public accounts. After everyone put it behind, Fang will cover the back of the Dhara gold. After wearing a bead crown, it is placed next to 108 statues such as golden Buddha, emerald Buddha, jade Buddha, etc. A watermelon, two melons, and 200 treasures such as peaches, plums, apricots, and dates are placed on the left and right sides of the hind feet. There is a jade lotus root on the left side of the back, with lotus leaves, lotus flowers, etc.; On the right side of the body is a branch of a coral tree. Its empty space is sprinkled with beads and stones, and after it is filled, the upper net beads are one. Just as I was about to put on the sub-cover, the eldest princess came. The bead net was opened, and a copy of the eight jade horses and the eighteen jade arhats were taken out in the box, and they were placed next to the hands of the back, and the square was covered, so far the funeral ceremony has been completed. The watermelon, melon, peach, plum, apricot, jujube mentioned here are not melon fruits, but made of jade, jade, etc., especially the watermelon production, the melon is a green jade skin purple jade, cut in the middle, and the melon seeds are black.

As for the value of the treasures of Cixi's underground palace, "Ai Yuexuan Notes" It also made a detailed explanation: the price of the gold silk cotton mattress is 84,000 taels of silver, the price of the embroidered Buddha beaded mattress is 22,000 taels, the jade lotus leaf is valued at 850,000 taels, the Dhara Sutra is paved with beads and is valued at 160,000 taels, the back beaded robe is valued at 1.2 million taels, the golden Buddha next to him is worth 8 taels, the jade Buddha is respected for 6 taels, the jade Buddha is respected for every 6 taels, the ruby Buddha is respected for 3 taels and 5 coins, each of which is 27, a total of 108 statues, worth about 620,000 taels, 2 jade watermelons, worth about 2.2 million taels, 4 jade melons, worth about 600,000 taels, jade lotus root is worth about 1 million taels, the red coral tree is worth about 530,000 taels, and the highest value is the pearl crown worn by Cixi, a large pearl of 4 taels on it is a tribute from foreigners, worth 10 million taels, and the total price is about 10.05 million taels. In addition, Cixi's body was filled with about 500 large beads and about 6,000 small beads, with an estimated value of 228,000 taels.

Judging from the Qing Dynasty Internal Affairs Office's "Filial Piety After the Burial, Sending Clothes Edition, and Appreciating the Clothes of the Relics" and Li Chengwu's "Aiyuexuan Notes", the funeral goods of Cixi's tomb are huge and valuable, which is rare in the world.

In addition, from the interception and handover of the stolen goods from the tomb, it can also be seen that Sun Dianying has gained a lot from this trip.

Sun Dianying, Tan Wenjiang and others were anxious to sell the stolen goods after stealing and excavating Tanglin, and they went around to carry out activities related to people at home and abroad. Tan Wenjiang and others infiltrated Beiping (now Beijing) and secretly entrusted the antique dealer Huang Baichuan to sell the treasures, which were intercepted by the garrison headquarters. The detective team of the Qingdao Police Department seized Zhang Qihou, a deserter from Sun Dianying's department, and seized 36 jewels he was carrying at Dagang Wharf.

According to Zhang's confession, he also sold 10 pearls in Tianjin for 1,200 yuan, and these 46 jewels were picked up in Cixi's underground palace. If a soldier can still have 46 orbs, the treasures obtained by the company, battalion, regiment, brigade, division, and army commander can be imagined.

The Tianjin Garrison Command also seized 35 boxes of Tanglin cultural relics that were attempted to be transported abroad, including a long table with Ming lacquer, a fan with gold lacquer, a tile unicorn, a tile Buddha immortal, a tile hunter, a tile kuixing, a painted dragon painted ware, pottery, etc., which were transported from Beiping to Tianjin by an antique dealer entrusted by a transportation company, ready for export, and shipped to France, with a reported value of 22,000 yuan.

At the same time, 24 bronze Buddha statues attempted to be carried by Song Rumei, a senior member of the so-called Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Nationalist Government, as well as 10 rubbing banners written by Qianlong, were intercepted in Zunhua.

More than two months after the Tanglin incident, Xu Yuanquan, commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army Corps, handed over more than 300 pieces of Tanglin cultural relics, including gold bracelets, rubies, sapphires, tourmalines, Han jade rings, jade, red coral dragon heads, flower coral beans, agate double-mouth snuff bottles, and white jade snuff bottles.

Sun Dianying is a big hair this time!

Is it a blessing or a curse? (To be continued.) )
