Introduction: Tomb robbery has been explicitly prohibited since the early days of the Republic of China, and tomb robbery has not only caused many Chinese treasures to be scattered overseas, but also made many Chinese cultural histories no longer have a basis for confirmation.
Although tomb robbery has been banned, but the legend of tomb robbery has been circulating in the folk, such as "Notes on Tomb Robbery", a novel with tens of millions of readers, which is extremely popular, several tomb robbers in the book are all with special skills, so are the tomb robbers in reality as powerful as they are?
In the last century, there was a very famous tomb robber named Wang Shaoxing, legend has it that he was born in the Republic of China period, but his other lineages can not be verified, at first this person was not a tomb robber, but a bandit on the mountain, but in that turbulent era, the people's life was very poor, and bandits could not grab anything, so he decided to rob the dead, so he changed his career to becoming a tomb robber.
At the beginning, Wang Shaoxing was eyeing the famous imperial Tanglin, but before the time was ripe, he was given a pot by Sun Dianying, and seeing this scene, Wang Shaoxing felt that tomb robbery might not be possible, at that time, the era when warlords were rampant, as an ordinary tomb robber, there was no ability and a warlord gang with complete guns.
So Wang Shaoxing switched to bouncing cotton to make ends meet. However, Wang Shaoxing, who has a dream of wealth, is not willing to be just a guy who plays cotton, and his heart has always been worried about the Qing Dongling That was not stolen in the first place.
Wang Shaoxing stayed in the village for more than ten years, and finally waited for the moment when the time was ripe, at this time daqing had already become a hurried visitor in the long river of history, and Wang Shaoxing was already more than fifty years old, and it was so old that he made an unimaginable feeling - stealing the Qing Tombs.
In order to be able to successfully rob the tomb, Wang Shaoxing made a careful plan, and soon after he put this plan into action, first of all, he used wine and meat to buy the two militiamen guarding Tanglin, so that he not only had helpers but also guns and gunpowder, and now he only needed a guide who knew Tanglin to realize his dream for many years.
After several times wang Shaoxing found a man named Lao Guan, this person seems to be simple and indeed participated in the construction of the Talent of the Tanglin Tombs, so Wang Shaoxing's temporary tomb robbery gang was formed, after successive searches this team expanded to about thirty people, seeing that the manpower and equipment were complete, Wang Shaoxing quickly determined the target for the tomb of the Xianfeng Emperor, and then they could not wait to get off the tomb.
But where is the tomb robbery so simple, just entered the cemetery encountered a thick tomb door, in the face of such a problem everyone has their own opinions, and finally Wang Shaoxing made a "key" with a steel plate to directly open the tomb door.
After opening the tomb door, they smoothly entered the tomb of the Xianfeng Emperor, after which they pried open the coffin in the tomb, and at that moment they saw the jewels that they had never seen in their lives, and although several people were happy to be overwhelmed, they still took these treasures to Wang Shaoxing's home to share the loot.
The treasure obtained by this tomb robbery made Wang Shaoxing's wealth soar, since then he began to do business, not satisfied with this he wanted to do another tomb robbery, so he began to calculate the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi, and then he really took people to the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi, although the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi has been patronized by Sun Dianying once, but still left a lot of valuable treasures.
After the two successful tomb robberies, Wang Shaoxing and his gang became more and more bold, and they began to collude with government officials to turn all the clan tombs of the Qing Dongling to the sky, and their actions quickly attracted the attention of the outside world, and the state finally had some eyebrows after a long investigation.
Finally learned that such a bold tomb robber turned out to be an obscure old man in the village, Wang Shaoxing heard the wind and fled with money overnight, unsurprisingly soon all over the country posted his wanted order, at this time Wang Shaoxing can only take money to live in hiding in Tibet.
At this time, in addition to Wang Shaoxing, other tomb robbery gangs also began to panic, and in order to save their lives, they directly smashed some overly conspicuous treasures in various places. Wang Shaoxing went into hiding in Tibet for six years, and was finally arrested by the police in a deep mountain, because his crime was too serious and sentenced to death, and the place where he was executed was around the mausoleum of the Kangxi Emperor, and everyone in the world said that Wang Shaoxing was retaliated against by the Qing dynasty royal family.
Summary: After the death of Wang Shaoxing, his story was rewritten into a novel by posterity, his life experience can be described as full of legends, from the initial bandit to the later cotton, after more than half a hundred years, he became a well-known tomb robber, although he is not a good person, but his story is still quite educational from a certain point of view, the aspirant is probably such a statement, and there is a dream that has been hanging on to it in the heart, and finally realized.
