Chapter 93 Dongling Bandit
  "The last thing is the theft of imperial mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty."

As soon as Su Chen said this, all the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were extremely nervous, worried about what would happen to them after their death.

They couldn't help but worry, after all, they also knew that the Han people had always been dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty.

There is no guarantee that after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people who regained power will not take action against the Qing imperial mausoleum.

Compared with the uninformed emperors in the early Qing Dynasty, several emperors in the late Qing Dynasty were extremely anxious.

In particular, the last emperors like Daoguang and Guangxu were even more frightened. They knew how resentful the people in the late Qing Dynasty were towards the Qing Dynasty, and they thought about making a revolution every day to overthrow the Qing Dynasty rule.

With such hatred for the Qing Dynasty, could the Han people who overthrew the Qing Dynasty rule and regained power let them go?
  I'm afraid this possibility is slim!

"The imperial mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty are divided into three places, namely the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty located in Zunhua, Hebei Province, the Western Tombs of the Qing Dynasty in Yixian County, Hebei Province, and the Three Tombs outside the Guanwai Mountains outside Shanhaiguan."

"The anchor will first talk about the situation of the Three Tombs outside the Guan. The Three Tombs outside the Guan refer to the Qing Fuling Mausoleum of Qing Taizu Nurhachi who is buried in Shenyang, Shenyang, the Qing Zhao Tomb of Qing Taizong Huang Taiji, and the Qing Dynasty Longxing Land Hetu. The Qingyong Mausoleum of the ancestors of the Aisin Gioro family of Allah.”

"When Nurhachi and Huang Taiji were in power, they did not unify China. They both dominated outside the customs. Therefore, after their deaths, the old Manchu custom of cremating their bodies was adopted. Except for their urns, there were almost no burial objects."

"It is precisely because of this that the Three Tombs outside the Pass have been preserved unscathed until now."

Knowing that the imperial mausoleum in the ancestral land of the Qing Dynasty was safe and sound, all the Qing emperors breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they did not encounter the worst outcome.

The well-preserved condition of the Three Tombs outside the Pass made many Qing emperors think that things might not be as bad as they imagined.

After all, the intactness of the three tombs outside the Pass shows that the Han regime still respects their Qing imperial mausoleums and does not engage in retaliatory acts of destruction.

If this is the case, does it mean that their imperial mausoleum is also well protected?
  The Qing Emperor thought very well, but Su Chen's next words made them uneasy.

"There are four imperial mausoleums in the Western Tombs of the Qing Dynasty, namely the Tailing Mausoleum of Emperor Yongzheng, the Changling Mausoleum of Emperor Jiaqing, the Muling Mausoleum of Emperor Daoguang, and the Chongling Mausoleum of Emperor Guangxu."

"Except for Emperor Guangxu's Chongling Mausoleum which was stolen, the other three imperial mausoleums were intact."

Yongzheng: Okay, as long as it wasn’t stolen.

Jiaqing: I am finally relieved.

Daoguang: I can breathe a sigh of relief.

Guangxu: I was the only one injured when co-writing, right?

Guangxu looked depressed and felt unhappy in his heart, but he was not sad at all. After all, he had expected this situation.

Under the control of the old witch, the Qing Dynasty was in turmoil. It was in danger and might collapse at any time.

Now it is known that the Qing Dynasty finally died, and it is expected that the people who were deeply hated and humiliated by the enemies of the country and their families would not let go of his imperial mausoleum.

"The anchor will briefly tell you about the theft of the Guangxu Emperor's Mausoleum. In 1938, the Chongling Underground Palace, which had only been closed for years, was opened by a group of unidentified tomb robbers. The few grave goods in the underground palace were stolen. Empty."

"Later I learned that this group of tomb robbers used these grave goods to purchase nearly a thousand sets of military cotton uniforms. It is speculated that they were most likely used to support the anti-Japanese armed forces."

"If Guangxu knew about it, with his hatred for the Japanese, he would definitely be willing to contribute burial objects to resist the Japanese invasion."

Guangxu: ...   He wanted to say that although he hated the Japanese, he did not want his imperial mausoleum to be excavated.

But when he thought that the sky curtain was connected to various dynasties, and people from all dynasties were watching, his clarification seemed unreasonable.

It was stolen anyway, so why not admit it openly and leave a good name to everyone.

Guangxu: This is natural. In order to fight against foreign enemies, it doesn’t matter what the burial objects are. Even if I use the burial objects from all the imperial mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty to fight against foreign enemies, I will have no complaints.

Other emperors of the Qing Dynasty:...

"The anchor finally talks about the five imperial mausoleums in the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Shunzhi's Xiaoling Mausoleum, Emperor Kangxi's Jingling Mausoleum, Emperor Qianlong's Yuling Mausoleum, Emperor Xianfeng's Dingling Mausoleum, and Emperor Tongzhi's Huiling Mausoleum."

"Emperor Shunzhi advocated simple burial during his lifetime and followed the old Manchu custom of cremating corpses. Therefore, after Shunzhi's death, he was cremated and then simply buried in Xiaoling Mausoleum. There were no burial objects except the urn, which kept Shunzhi's Xiaoling Mausoleum intact. Saved without loss until now.”

"The other four imperial tombs in the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty were all stolen, twice, and the funerary objects were completely looted."

Hearing this, the four emperors of the Qing Dynasty suddenly turned to stone, looking heartbroken.

They couldn't stand this stimulation for a while, and they wanted to kill the nine tribes who robbed the tomb robbers in order to relieve their hatred.

If all the imperial tombs in the Qing Dynasty had been robbed and excavated, they might not be so angry.

However, there are many Qing imperial tombs that are intact. Their imperial tombs are the unlucky ones. Are they such bad people when they are targeted so favorably?

"The first theft was committed by the warlord Sun Dianying. Because Qianlong was in power for sixty-four years and was known as the prosperous age of Qianlong, Sun Dianying believed that the treasures buried in Qianlong's Yuling Mausoleum must be extremely rich, so he decided to open Qianlong's Qingyu Mausoleum."

"Sun Dianying used explosives to blow open the underground palace gate of Yuling Mausoleum and robbed Qianlong's mausoleum. The remains and bones were scattered all over the ground. It was a terrible mess."

“After excavating the Qingyu Mausoleum of Qianlong, Sun Dianying also excavated the Dingdong Tomb of Cixi, who was famous for her extravagance during her lifetime.”

"The tombs of Cixi and Qianlong were extremely rich in burial objects. Sun Dianying used more than 30 mules and carriages to transport the treasures from these two tombs."

"The second theft was carried out by a group of bandits. They not only raided the Yuling Tomb of Qianlong and the Dingdong Tomb of Cixi, but also stole all the other fourteen tombs within the Qingdong Tomb except Shunzhi Xiaoling. Empty, fourteen mausoleums containing a total of 157 people were all robbed and emptied by this group of bandits."

Shunzhi: It was because of my foresight that I could have a light burial and cremation so that I could have peace after my death and not end up with my remains and bones scattered all over the ground.

Guangxu: Hahaha, okay, the old witch’s tomb has also been robbed. Sure enough, God has eyes and the evildoers will have their own way.

Kangxi, Qianlong, Xianfeng, and Tongzhi saw that their remains and bones were broken and humiliated after death, and they immediately became furious and hated these tomb robbers.

Think about them, they were dignified and respected by all people in the world.

But after death, he ended up with a miserable end, and his bones were randomly humiliated.

The gap was so big that the four of them couldn't accept it for a while.

They are the majestic emperors of the Qing Dynasty. They were extremely noble during their lifetime, and they should also be worshiped by the people of the world after their death.

But now they are in a situation where there is no body left, how can they accept it.
