The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
I believe that all friends who like to watch tomb robbery novels or film and television dramas will not be unfamiliar with the four major factions of "touching gold", "hair hill", "moving mountains" and "unloading mountains". Moreover, after the processing of novels and film and television means, these thieves have all become very mysterious characters. To put it simply, if a person does not have a little bit of feng shui to find the dragon point cave, or use the magic external force to move mountains and mountains, they are not qualified to claim to be thieves.
Of course, most of the above are the images of tomb robbers polished by novels and movies. However, the two factions of these four major schools, "Touching Gold" and "Fa Qiu", have indeed existed in history. According to relevant historical documents, these two factions were not actually civilian tomb robbers at the beginning, but belonged to one of the ancient armies.
On this point, we can see from the official titles of these two factions in the history books, "Lieutenant Colonel Touching Gold" and "General Zhonglang of Faqiu", which can be seen one or two (Both Zhonglang General and Lieutenant colonel were officials in the ancient army). As for the first person to start creating these two "branches of the army" in the army, it was Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
As early as the time of Cao Cao's decisive battle with Yuan Shao in the Central Plains, Chen Lin (known as one of the Seven Sons of Jian'an) at that time had written a thief's essay for Yuan Shao entitled "Yuzhou for Yuan Shao". Among the many bad deeds of Cao Cao in this article, there is an extremely bad act of "tomb robbery". Moreover, the text also clearly pointed out the specific measures taken by Cao Cao to organize his subordinates to rob tombs. The original text is as follows: "Specially placed General Qiu Zhonglang and Lieutenant Touching Gold, all passed through the turmoil, and no skeleton was revealed."
Of course, in order to be able to make this bad deed of Cao Cao into a real hammer, Chen Lin also specially cited specific cases in the text. The original text is as follows: "King Xiao of Liang, The First Emperor Mother Kun, Tomb Tomb Zun Xian; Mulberry pine cypress, it is advisable to be solemn. And the commander-in-chief, the official, personally went to the excavation, broke the coffin and the naked body, and plundered the gold treasure. ”
In this case, the owner of the tomb that was dug up was Liu Wu, the famous Liang Xiaowang in the Western Han Dynasty. In other words, when Cao Cao connived with his subordinates, the "Lieutenant Touching Jin" and the "General Of Fa Qiu Zhonglang" to carry out tomb robbery, he did not only target the ancient tombs of the previous dynasties. Even the royal tombs of this dynasty were not spared, and they did not care about the face and identity of their own Han courtiers.
As for how much wealth is buried in the tomb of King Xiao of Liang, it is now impossible to verify. However, the status of King Xiao of Liang was already very high, coupled with the fact that most of the powerful people in the Han Dynasty died and buried thickly. It is not difficult to imagine that based on the wealth that King Xiao of Liang had before his death, it must have been a pile of gold and jade in his mausoleum. After all, Liu Wu, the Prince of Liang, was the younger brother of The Jing Emperor Liu Qi during his lifetime, and in addition to the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms", he was greatly rewarded for his meritorious service.
It is no exaggeration to say that Emperor Jing's rewards for Liu Wu after the war were very numerous, both in terms of property and fiefdom. Moreover, the treatment that Liu Wu enjoyed at that time was almost the same as that of the emperor. According to records, the size of the palace where Liu Wu lived in Liang Guo was more than 30 miles. Moreover, the retinue he brought with him when he traveled reached a super high level of thousands of horses.
As for the wealth that Liu Wu possessed, the money stored in the treasury of his fiefdom alone was nearly a trillion when he was richest. Moreover, he possessed more precious items such as jewelry and jade than the royal family of Kyoto in the Han Dynasty. It can be inferred from this that after the death of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, his tomb specifications must be far superior to those of other fiefdoms. It is even more likely that it will be richer than the authentic imperial tomb.
According to the relevant content in the "Notes on the Water Classics", Cao Cao's tomb robbery income in that year can be described as extremely rich. The original text is recorded as follows: "Cao lured soldiers into the stone, sent Liang Xiaowang's tomb, broke the coffin, and collected tens of thousands of pounds of gold treasures." And it was precisely because of this windfall that Cao Cao was able to smoothly pass through the early stage when he was struggling to start his family. It is said that this windfall has been supporting Cao Cao's troops for 3 years, which can be said to have laid a solid foundation for him to dominate the side.
Therefore, after Cao Cao seized Liu Wu's mausoleum, the money and jewelry and jade stolen from it were exchanged for grain and ordnance to support the soldiers when he started his family. Mo said that it is a short period of 3 years, and I am afraid that it is not a problem to support 5 years.
