I believe that most people are similar to me, and at first their understanding of the tomb robbery industry only came from some related film and television works and novels about tomb robbing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The more I face my unknown territory, the more I will feel helpless and apprehensive, which is why I will seem so anxious and useless during my trip to the grassland, I have to say that this feeling is something I never want to experience again in my life.

Considering all the worries about the fourth uncle, after returning from the trip to Inner Mongolia, I was kind of stubborn and forced myself to make up for this lesson and sorted out some historical information about the tomb robbery industry.

Of course, what I want to know is not the subtle techniques and techniques of tomb robbing, but if I had to choose one thing I would least want to do after that journey of life and death, I think I would not hesitate to say the word tomb robbing.

I just want to try to understand the development and current situation of some tomb robbers, hoping to find some clues from them, and see why the fourth uncle took such a different path. After all, deep down in my heart, I still don't want to believe that the fourth uncle will be the kind of person who deviates from the norm for financial gain.

Tomb robbery, in fact, is not a new word in the long history of thousands of years in China. At least so far, in the archaeological records of the Neolithic Age, there has been intentional tomb destruction, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, due to the rise of thick burials, tomb robbery became more prevalent.

In ancient times, tomb robbery can be roughly divided into two kinds of official thieves and civil thieves, as the name implies, official thieves are tomb robberies organized by officials to obtain benefits, most of these actions are huge, well-manned, well-equipped, and have a high safety factor, and there will not be too many disputes over interests, because all vested interests belong to those in power.

According to historical records, the first person of large-scale official thieves was in the late Spring and Autumn Period, when Wu Zixu dug up the tomb of King Chuping to avenge his family and "whipped 300 corpses". The second is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who hated the country and burned the terracotta warriors and horses.

In fact, strictly speaking, whether it is Wu Zixu or Xiang Yu, the purpose of their grave digging is not to steal, one is a family feud, the other is a national hatred, they just want to vent their inner hatred by digging up the enemy's grave.

In Ni Tian's mouth, Cao Cao, the hero of the Three Kingdoms period, was indeed organizing large-scale tomb robbery activities for the purpose of purely stealing money. Touching Jin Lieutenant and Faqiu Zhonglang General are also official positions that do exist in historical records, as for why they both belong to Cao Cao's curtain, but they have to separate the two branches of Touching Jin Lieutenant and Faqiu Zhonglang, which is a little incomprehensible to me, it can't be this generation of heroes Cao Cao, who wants to use the concept of competition to stimulate the activity of the tomb robbery team under the curtain, right?

As for the people's robbery, it is better to understand, simply put, it is a tomb robbery activity organized spontaneously by the people for personal interests. The scale of this kind of activity is generally very small, and it is very secretive, and it is very easy to disagree on vested interests, and it has been recorded in the "Spring and Autumn Period of the Lü Family" in the pre-Qin period: "Traitors rob tombs, and they are forbidden with severe and serious crimes", which shows that the risk factor of the civil thief has been extremely high since at least the pre-Qin period, and it is a felony to be caught.

The period when the most rampant banditry began in the last years of the Three Kingdoms, which also corresponded to the sentence "if the official is not right, the people are also oblique". Under the influence of Cao Cao's large-scale official thieves, the trend of civil thieves prevailed in the world, almost rampant, and became more and more intense, and even lasted until the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, which was still not effectively controlled, resulting in almost ten tombs and nine empty tombs in the previous dynasty.

This rampant large-scale civil robbery continued until the Tang Dynasty was wiped out and the country was unified, and a series of laws were promulgated to punish tomb robbers in detail. There is a statement in the "Tang Law Discussion": "Those who make graves will be enslaved; Those who have opened the coffin shall be hanged; Those who fail to do so shall be imprisoned for three years. It can be seen that since the Tang Dynasty, the decree to punish tomb robbers has had a detailed system of rules and punishments. Under the constraints of such strict laws, the folk tomb robbery activities, which have been active for nearly a hundred years, have truly declined.

Therefore, throughout history, the period from the end of the Three Kingdoms to the early years of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the most rampant period of folk tomb robbery in China for thousands of years, and it was later called the dark period in archaeological history by the archaeological community. Because of the rare treasures stolen during this period, the destroyed documents, and the countless ancient tombs of the previous dynasties were destroyed, which caused irreparable huge losses to today's archaeological work.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the trend of rectifying tomb robberies has been continued, and the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties also have laws: "Tomb robbers, graves, heavy punishments" to severely punish tomb robbers.

Later, until the period of the Republic of China, the warlords were fighting, the foreign powers were eyeing each other, and the dragons and snakes in China were mixed, and many warlords started the idea of official thieves, the most famous of which was Sun Dianying led his troops to dig the tomb of Cixi, and the scale was simply appalling.

The Red Revolution became another trigger for the active tomb robbery activities of the people. Many tomb robbers or tomb robbing groups use the name of "breaking the four olds" to rob tombs and find gold, steal historic sites, and destroy mausoleums, and do whatever it takes to seek profits.

If I guessed correctly, it is estimated that it was under this undercurrent that the captain's battalion to which Gao Lenglu and Lu Laodao belonged who came at that time was able to develop rapidly and successfully stand in the leading position of this underground tomb robbery organization.

As for what kind of organization the Lieutenant Battalion is, I have not obtained the slightest information about this organization in my inquiry, and if it does exist, it can only be said that it is definitely a mysterious underground organization lurking in the darkness. As for whether it is really a Touching Gold Captain inherited from the Three Kingdoms period, I don't know, and of course I don't need to know, this is not a question I should care about at all......

In the comfortable and calm shop, the beads of sweat on my forehead have become more and more unconsciously, and I don't know if it was because I stopped shaking the bamboo paper fan, the weather was too hot, or because I saw the female policeman who came to visit the door suddenly.

To be a thief, I have experienced what it feels like, an inexplicable sense of tension began to rush to my heart, just like a child broke the glass of someone else's house, I thought no one saw it, and slipped away, but the next day, people not only knew everything, but also found the door.

My mind began to wander a little again, and I began to think about it wildly, and I even saw in front of me that my hands were handcuffed coldly, and under the push of this policewoman, I bowed my head and walked out of the shop. If this is seen by the serious old man in my family, it is estimated that he will definitely cut off the father-son relationship with me......

Of course, my concern is not unfounded, because when I looked at the information about tomb robbery, I clearly remember that I had seen a passage that after the Red Movement, the state intensified its efforts to crack down on private tomb robbery, and the constitution clearly stated that anyone who robs a tomb will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or death, and a fine or confiscation of property......
