Tomb robbing is a long-standing and thrilling old business, and in order to successfully obtain the gold and silver treasures of the tomb owner, it is often necessary to do your homework before acting. It is definitely difficult for scumbags who have not studied and have poor grades to do this job well, because before robbing tombs, we must first determine the target object, which emperors and generals in history, rich businessmen and magnates, which of them like thick burials, valuable treasures, and can make a lot of money after getting it. If someone is unlucky and is overthrown and killed by the opposition, eighty percent of his funeral goods will not be very good.
Once you've identified your target, also know the address of the burial. The world is so big, where can I find it? Mainly historical classics, judging the approximate direction, and then conducting field surveys, calculating how much work there is, whether there are people guarding the tomb, what tools need to be carried, and whether to go during the day or at night. After everything is ready, the tomb robbers also need to have extraordinary psychological quality, the tomb owner is mostly secretive about the specific situation of the tomb, and the information revealed to the outside world is very little, before the terracotta warriors and horses are discovered, no one knows that there is a Qin Dynasty army buried there. Relying on the words in the history books or folk circulation, it is difficult to grasp the whole picture, is there a hidden arrow in the mechanism? Are there any ghost zombies? It's not sure at all, so tomb robbing is also an expeditionary process, and the faint of heart is simply not up to the task.
If you travel back in time, you live in troubled times, and you don't want to be known to the princes, but you just want to become the richest man in the world through tomb robbing. Dad gave you ten generations of single-handed tomb robbery skills, whose tomb do you want to steal the most to make a fortune? Here's a blacklist, in three categories, none of which are suitable for the tombs.
Category I
Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, Kong Lin, Guan Lin, Yue Fei Tomb, etc
Reason: **Stressed, uneasy.
Any grave robber who chooses to steal will not arrange his own ancestral grave. The Chinese call themselves the descendants of Yan and Huang and regard the Yellow Emperor as the first ancestor of humanity. No matter how bad the morality is, the tomb robbers with the lowest minimum limit will not regard the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum as the target of the crime, otherwise they will become the public enemy of the entire nation. According to the "Historical Records", the Yellow Emperor was the son of Shaodian, surnamed Gongsun, named Xuanyuan, and was buried in Qiaoshan after his death. As early as 2,500 years ago, Qin Linggong had the initiative to worship the Yellow Emperor; During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven personally led an army of 180,000 to visit the tomb. It can be said that all dynasties have attached great importance to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum in Qiaoshan, as an ancestral tomb to worship, if the tomb robbers want to hit the idea of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, it must be the act of forgetting the ancestors.
Konglin is the family cemetery of Confucius and his descendants, burying the coffins of more than 70 generations since Confucius, covering a total area of more than 2 million square meters, with more than 100,000 tombs. In the earliest days, the tomb of the Kong family was very simple and not so big, and as Confucianism became the ruling strategy, the imperial court paid more and more attention to it, and the treatment of Yan Shenggong became better and better. Ming Xianzong once commented, saying that Confucius's thought is like a person dressing and eating, and it is indispensable for a day. Confucian classics have become a must-read list for scholars to gain fame, an effective tool for the imperial court to maintain its rule, and if you want to steal the tomb of the holy master, it is equivalent to being the enemy of most of the ** and scholars in feudal society, which will be hit by an unprecedented crit on the **.
Guan Lin is the tomb of Guan Yu, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, if you want to steal the tomb of Guan Erye, you must first consider which one to choose. "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" records that in the twenty-fourth year of Han Jian'an, Guan Yu was defeated under the joint attack of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Sun Quan "sent the general to counterattack the feather, cut the feather and Ziping in Linfang", and the "Wu Calendar" also said that "the right to send the head of the feather to the Duke of Cao, and bury his body with the courtesy of the princes", Guan Yu and his son Guan Ping were killed, and the head was given to Cao Cao, and buried according to the etiquette of the princes. Therefore, Guan Yu should have two tombs, one in Hubei, where his body is buried; One is located in Luoyang, Henan, where his head is buried.
From the point of view of the burial goods, it is difficult to judge which one is more valuable. Because there is ambiguity in the record of "Wu Calendar", it is not clear whether Cao Cao buried Yun Chang with princes' rites or Sun Quan buried Guan Yu with princes' rites, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said that Cao Cao was frightened, sealed Guan Yu as King Jing, buried outside the south gate of Luoyang, and went to the funeral with all the big and small **, and he himself worshipped in person. But no matter which Guan Lin is buried with the rites of the princes, the theft of Guan Yu's tomb will become the target of public criticism, because he has a very high reputation among the people, and is regarded as a model of righteousness and loyalty to the monarch.
Similarly, the tombs of people like Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu, Yu Qian, Zhang Cangshui and others can not be excavated, they are all models of loyalty and patriotism and even murder, and the final tragic ending also makes the people deeply sympathetic, enjoy high prestige among the people, and build ancestral halls to worship. If you want to fight them, you are enemies of the mainstream values of ancient society, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Category II
Emperor Ba Mausoleum of Han Wen, Cao Cao Gao Mausoleum, Cao Pi Shouyang Mausoleum, Yuan Dynasty Emperor Mausoleum
Reason: Difficult to find, or few valuable things.
Recently, the correct location of Emperor Baling of the Han Dynasty has finally been hammered, and it is in Jiangcun, not in the phoenix mouth that has been rumored for hundreds of years. If you travel to ancient times and dig for a few days and nights in the mouth of the phoenix, it is estimated that you will have to doubt life, how busy you are for a long time, and there is nothing!
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty built the Baling Tomb, and his grandson Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the Maoling Tomb, the style is completely different, one pays attention to high-profile and extravagant, and the other emphasizes low-key and thrifty. There is no sealed soil in the tomb, and there is no gold and silver with the burial goods, which is the result of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty listening to the opinions of the minister Zhang Shizhi. In the edict, he also once again emphasized that the mountains and rivers of Baling have not changed because of their reasons, for fear that the next emperor Liu Qi will change the deployment during his lifetime out of filial piety and adjust the thin burial to a thick burial. This makes it very difficult to find the tomb, because there is no tall sealed soil, and the ground buildings have been destroyed with the war and disrepair; Even if they are stolen, they are mainly pottery, and it is difficult to make a fortune.
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was inherited by the Cao father and son, they witnessed the chaos in the world, the emperor's tombs were stolen and excavated, and the tomb was preserved because it was not sealed or tree, and the pottery was buried with it, and Cao Cao himself was also one of the tomb robbers, and he once presided over the excavation of the cemetery of Liu Wu, the king of Liangxiao, and got a lot of money as military expenses, so he naturally did not want to be doomed one day. In the twenty-third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, issued the "Final Order" and said: "Those who are buried in ancient times will live in barren land." Its regulations are the West Tomb of the West Leopard Temple, because the height is the base, not sealed and not the tree", "Collect the time to serve, buried in the West Gang of Ye, close to the Ximen Leopard Temple, there is no hidden gold and jade jewelry", after the death of the cemetery do not have sealed soil, do not have other markers, gold and jade jewelry can not be buried, otherwise it will inevitably cause the memory of the tomb robbers.
Cao Pi did not carry it out at first, but later ordered the demolition of all the ground buildings in Gaoling to deeply implement his father's last words. His own Shouyang Mausoleum also absorbed the essence of thin burial, and the "Final System" wrote: "Since the funeral, all the tombs of the Han family have been excavated, and the golden threads of the jade box have been burned, and the bones are exhausted. The disaster is due to the thick burial of the tree", "Shouling because of the mountain as the body, no tree for the tree, no dormitory, garden, through the gods", also requires not to seal the tree, not to accompany the burial of valuable treasures.
Stealing and digging the tomb of the emperor and the tomb of the high tomb, it is difficult to find it, not to mention, even if it is opened, there are not many treasures to obtain, and the cost performance is too low, not worth recommending. But then again, although there is difficulty, as long as you are patient and search, you can still find it, because the general range is known, and Baling must be in the southeast of Chang'an City, near Bashui; Cao Cao's tomb must be on some barren hill in the west of Yecheng, near the Ximen Leopard Temple. This is the exact words of Apu, and it has also been confirmed by archaeology in the end.
But even if the tomb of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty is forgotten, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is not even a general area. According to the "Yuan History" and other materials, Genghis Khan and others were buried in a place called "Qiyuan Valley" after their deaths, and it is said that when Temujin was hunting, he found a tree that was green and fresh, and he liked it very much, and he said to his subordinates that our final destination should be here. On the day of burial, the coffin was transported in a horse-drawn carriage, and people were killed on the way so as not to reveal their location.
After the burial, ten thousand horses are flattened, and ground buildings such as walls and halls are not built. In the coming year, the grass grows and the warbler flies, just like an ordinary place, and there is no emperor's tomb. Within a radius of thirty miles, cavalry patrols were arranged to prevent outlaws from robbing tombs. After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the specific location of Qilin Valley became a historical mystery, and no one knew that it was in **. Some people in Mongolia, Japan, and the United States used satellite remote sensing, GPS positioning and other methods to conduct surveys, but in the end there was no substantial breakthrough. If you want to steal and dig Yuanling, it is estimated that one lifetime is not enough, and it will take several lifetimes or dozens of lifetimes.
Category IIIMausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, Qi Huan Cemetery, Tomb of King Wu Lu
Reason: Toxic, high risk factor.
Theoretically speaking, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is so famous, the sealed soil is so high, the burial goods are so rich, and the time has been so long, it should have been stolen long ago. However, judging from the archaeological findings, there is no tomb robbery passage to reach the tomb chamber smoothly. Why is that? "Historical Records" records: The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang "ordered craftsmen to make machine crossbow arrows, and those who pierced close shot them." With mercury as a hundred rivers and seas, the machine is instilled, with astronomy, and geography", ordered skilled craftsmen to make organs, outsiders will be shot to death by crossbows when they get close, and also use a large amount of mercury to make rivers and seas, after scientific exploration, mercury is true, there is a serious mercury anomaly under the sealed soil of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, with an area of up to 12,000 square meters, and the content far exceeds the normal area.
At room temperature and pressure, mercury is a metal in a liquid state that can evaporate mercury vapor and is highly toxic. Tomb robbers who want to excavate the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, even if they can block open guns and arrows, they can't resist the poison produced by hundreds of tons of mercury. Moreover, the sealed soil is too huge, more than 100 meters high, and the underground palace is more than 30 meters underground, with the strength of one or several people, it is really difficult to dig the underground palace.
The tomb of Jiang Xiaobai of Qi Huan Gong is located on the Niu Mountain in the south of Linzi County, it was stolen in the last year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty, there is mercury in it, "the mercury pool is obtained, there is no gas to enter", in order to save their lives, the tomb robbers went in after a few days, got a large number of jewels, jade boxes, and found a lot of bones, because Qi Huan Gong was still popular when people were martyred, very terrifying, cruel. If you travel to the Western Jin Dynasty, it is possible to consider robbing the Qihuan Cemetery, but you should beware of mercury vapor and take a certain risk. After that, you can only take what is left of the old-timers, and most of the valuable ones are gone. The tomb of King Wu also has a mercury pool, just below the Tiger Hill in Suzhou, and there are 3,000 swords buried with it, and if you want to open it, you also need to overcome similar risks.
