Chapter 3 Tomb Robbery


After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor.

This was passed down for several generations, and the world was still dominated by the Han family.

It was called the "Western Han Dynasty" in history.

It was not until Wang Mang usurped the throne that Guangwu Zhongxing was revived, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was destined.

However, this was all There is no need to say anything later.

It only says that at the turn of the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a severe drought in the world and hungry people were everywhere.

The people could not bear the suffering and revolted one after another.

Among all the rebel armies, the Green Forest Army and the Red Eyebrow Army were the most powerful.

They shocked the government and the public, and heroes from all over the country joined in their support.

The Red Eyebrow Army was also composed of hungry people at first.

At first, it only engaged in robbing homes and houses in order to survive.

Later, it was suppressed by the government and the army was pressed hard.

They fought several tough battles in succession, and won great victories in all of them.

From then on, their reputation grew.

For the sake of preparation With no way to retreat, everyone dyed their eyebrows red, like a snowball, and gradually grew into hundreds of thousands of people.

They broke into Chang'an all the way and took away the money, silk and food in Chang'an city, and took a handful of them.

Fire burned the palace.

But just like most peasant uprisings in ancient times, the more people there were, the weaker the fighting power was.

Later, they suffered successive defeats.

They advanced and retreated several times in Guanzhong.

When they were faced with a desperate situation and had no other way out, they dug up all the tombs of the Han Emperor. .

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, jade was highly valued, and the corpses of the emperors in the mausoleums were all covered with dragon jade boxes and black phoenix jade boxes, which were also called jade robes with golden threads in later generations.

Rare objects were piled up like mountains, and all of these treasures were looted by the Red Eyebrow Army.

As the red eyebrow army that was rampant across the world collapsed, the remaining tribesmen became thieves that roared in the mountains and forests.

They still retained the tradition of robbing ancient tombs and scraping the treasures from the tombs for money.

Once traces of the ancient tombs of the royal family and nobles were found, Let the leader lead the team to steal the hair.

Tomb robbers use long hoe and big shovel, which can gather up to ten thousand people at most, and dig hundreds of holes in the mountain.

They have the power to "tear down the mountains and expose the ground".

Therefore, in various systems of tomb robbers, they are called this type of tomb robbers.

The method is "unloading the ridge".

By the end of the Song Dynasty, everything north of the Yellow River was captured by the Jin soldiers.

A military group composed of Taosha officials in Henan excavated the imperial tombs on a large scale.

All the tombs of the Northern Song emperors were destroyed and stolen.

No one was spared this disaster. of.

Not many years later, the Jin Dynasty was destroyed by the Mongols.

The remaining Taosha officials in Henan were merged into the Xiiling group of bandits.

At that time, Liu Zixian, the leader of the Xiling bandits, was a strange man of his generation.

He extensively absorbed the advanced methods of stealing Song tombs and improved tomb robbing.

Utensils, passed down the art of thousands of poles and the secret method of trapping.

Although the tools and methods used in tomb robbing have undergone earth-shaking changes after several generations of improvements, the strength of the Xiling group of thieves has gradually declined and they have hidden themselves in the green forest.

They have not made much difference for hundreds of years, except occasionally.

They worked together to steal several ancient tombs to get some gold, jade, and silk.

It has been passed down to the Republic of China that the last generation of bandits leader Chen Xiazi, whose real name was "Chen Yulou" and whose nickname was "Jintang", but people on the Green Forest Road used to use pseudonyms, and few people in the world knew his real name.

Because he led his people to Yunnan to look for the tomb of King Xian, he unexpectedly encountered a poisonous trap in the insect valley before seeing the water dragon halo in the tomb of King Xian.

He lost a pair of eyes and his whereabouts were unknown during those years.

When the tree fell, the barbarians dispersed, and the Xiling group of bandits that had lasted for thousands of years disappeared from history.

Blind Chen’s origins are quite legendary.

The Chen family is a prominent family in Xiangyin, Hunan.

They have a huge fortune and thousands of acres of fertile land.

They actually made their fortune by robbing tombs.

The Chen family has been a bandit chief for three generations.

When he was born, there was a war.

In order to avoid the disaster of the war, the clan members hid in an ancient cemetery that had been emptied.

They hid without sight for more than two months, waiting for the war.

After that, I dare to return home.

He was born in the ancient cemetery palace.

Since he was born in a dark and gloomy environment, his eyesight was different from ordinary people, and he was born with a pair of "night eyes" that can see things in the dark.

When he was ten years old, he was photographed by a ragged old Taoist on the street.

It turned out that the old Taoist saw that he had rare night eyes and had strange bones, which were different from ordinary people.

He knew that with a little teaching, he could make him He recognized the treasures in the world, so he was taken to the mountains to teach him different skills.

Later, before the art was completed, the old Taoist died at the end of his life.

Blind Chen went down the mountain and returned home, inherited Nuo Da's family business, and became the leader of the Xiling bandits.

The reason why he was able to reach the top position, not only because of his own artistic skills, but also because the Chen family had the widest connections and was able to eat both black and white.

The cigarettes and arms trade between Hunan and Guizhou were all monopolized.

In his hands, all warlords and bandits from all walks of life in the three areas of Hunan and four rivers, regardless of their power, must rely on him, just like a local emperor.

During the Republic of China, the imperial system of the Qing Dynasty was finally overthrown, which ushered China into an era in which various cutting-edge ideological trends and old traditions and bad habits collided fiercely.

The social situation was particularly chaotic.

Not only were wars between various warlords frequent, but also the emergence of The unprecedented "drought in the north and floods in the south" disaster has caused Many provinces were left without harvests, and thousands of people became victims of the disaster.

In order to have food to eat, many people even took risks and became bandits, or engaged in human trafficking, smuggling cigarettes, and arms trafficking.

Such an extremely immoral act is exactly what "the world has been at war with for ten years, and the people all over the world have cried bitterly."

As the saying goes: "Antiques in prosperous times are gold in troubled times."

In the years of war and chaos, only yellow croaker gold bars were the hard currency.

However, in the eyes of tomb robbers, under such current circumstances, the country's laws have become ineffective.

It's a great time to dig up ancient tombs and steal secret weapons.

Experienced tomb robbers will certainly not miss this opportunity.

When the political situation stabilizes one day, the price of antiques will definitely rise.

If the stolen items are sold at that time, they can easily make a windfall.

Blind Chen became the leader of the bandits in Xiling, so he naturally did a lot of things to make a fortune by fighting against others.

At that time, his eyesight was not broken yet, and his eyesight was very extraordinary.

He could "see mud marks, identify grass colors, and find hidden treasures."

He led his men to various provinces and places for activities.

The more chaotic the world, the more prosperous his business was.

Moreover, he likes to dress lightly and simply, pretending to be a feng shui master, and go to remote mountain villages to pick up tongue leaks and inquire about ancient tombs and old tombs.

The art of tomb robbing is nothing more than "looking, hearing, asking, and looking."

Sometimes you can know it through the place names, such as "Lingcun, Tomb Village, Shuangqiu Town, Tufenggou, Huang Burial Ridge".

All such place names include There are mysteries, and there are often large tomb groups.

There are many villages that were formed by the people who collected the tombs of the royal family or were named after the ancients who were buried there.

Despite the changes in the sea, the hills and ridges of those ancient tombs have been flattened, and not a trace is left on the ground. , but you can still "ask" some clues from the mouths of the local elders.

It takes a lot of skill and experience to find out "tongue leakage", which is not something ordinary people can do.

Chen Xiazi is unparalleled in his intelligence and eloquence.

The words coming out of his mouth are like spitting out ninety-nine and eighty-one petals of a lotus.

Not only are they colorful, but the petals are not the same, so This tactic of "asking" has always been used to its full potential by him.

However, among the four eight ways of "seeing, hearing, asking, and understanding", borrowing words from the local people is still a method of "asking".

The method of "asking" is not to ask people, but to "ask the sky and make divination", which is to calculate the location of the ancient tomb through divination, dig a robbery hole, penetrate into the tomb, or predict the good or bad luck of tomb robbing.

Chen Xiazi is not good at these ancient techniques of movement and stillness.

Although he understands the principles, once he performs it, it often fails to come true.

It is said that only Captain Mo Jin knows how to master the two techniques of "Looking and Asking".

But Chen Xiazi also has some practical skills.

He is proficient in all the instruments and methods passed down by the Xiling group of thieves from generation to generation.

In addition, he is familiar with the advanced skills of "looking, hearing, asking, and cutting".

He has traveled all over the world in several years.

Across mountains and rivers, many ancient tombs have indeed been stolen.

In western Hunan, there was a warlord leader named Luo Laowai, who was a thieves.

He was Chen Xiazi's brother who knocked his head on the ground.

The situation was chaotic at that time, and whoever had more guns and more guns would be more powerful.

With the help of Chen Xiazi, Luo Laowai formed an engineering excavation camp specializing in tomb robbing.

He dug all the ancient tombs he could on his own site, exchanged the treasures in the tombs for money, and purchased large quantities of guns and ammunition.

He suddenly became powerful. increase, so they further expanded their territory, annexed small groups of warlords, and then continued to search for and rob ancient tombs.

On this day, Luo Laowai specially rushed to Chenjiazhuang, Hunan Province to find Chen Xiazi.

He mentioned that he had been facing a lot of pressure in the military recently and wanted to buy a batch of advanced rifles made in the UK.

Now his appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and he will not complain.

A blockbuster, planning to equip one division at a time.

In today's world, if there are many people, guns, and fists, then the words will have enough weight.

If this division with sophisticated weapons can be formed quickly, it will be even harder, so I want to ask Chen Xiazi to come out and lead No. 100 Xieling masters to lead They went to the engineering camp and carried explosives into the mountains.

The officials and bandits cooperated to find a big tomb and dig it up.

They added two to one and made five, and the family got half.

Blind Chen said with a smile: "To equip Luo Shuai's division, it will take at least several thousand guns, millions of rounds of ammunition and a dozen cannons.

You must know that the British products are not as good as those made in Hanyang, but they are really It's not cheap.

Just use the abacus and pull it around.

Calculate how many ancient weapons we have to dig out to make enough for you to buy these arms and equipment.

It depends on your taste, brother.

At least you have to find a big tomb of the princes and kings.

Now we have dug up all the ancient tombs nearby.

If you want to find such a It’s not easy to find a big tomb.”

Seeing that Blind Chen was in trouble, Luo Laowai did not dare to mention the expansion of the new army again.

Instead, he begged him shamelessly: "Shopkeeper Chen, my brother, if this ordinary little move does not require you to spend all this time, The army expanded too quickly, The military budget is tight.

If you don't give the brothers some tobacco, soil, and silver dollars, I'll fuck you, there will be a mutiny in the army.

If you don't save me, Mr.

Chen, my brothers will have no choice but to leave this mess behind and continue to climb the mountains.

Gone
