The so-called nationwide condemnation, of course, is a bit exaggerated, and the most ferocious one is nothing more than the Manchu relics.
In fact, Sun Dianying's name was not mentioned in the Reuters report that broke the news at that time, although the major domestic newspapers followed up one after another, the reason is similar to now, they are all grabbing the news. Most of the wording in the report is vague about the suspects, and some say that "a certain unit of the coalition army is directly served", some say "the remnants of the opposing army", and some say that "the remnants of a certain party"; although people in the know know it well, the majority of the people are still in the dark. In this case, how do you ask everyone to condemn the whole country? Even if the Manchu people represented by the royal family and clansmen of the Qing Dynasty were excited, it was also in response to this bold and reckless tomb robbery on an unprecedented scale, and the board did not fall on Commander Sun Dianying.
Why did Sun Dianying rob the tomb? Generally speaking, there are several reasons:
1. Blood feud. When Sun Dianying was a child, his father died in a dispute with the banner people, and the seeds of his father's hatred were buried in his young heart early.
2. Raising military salaries. Sun Dianying was born in a reckless manner, whether in the direct warlord or in the National Revolutionary Army, he did not have a strong foundation, Sun Dianying had to take refuge and drill the camp to change camps in time in order to protect himself. At the time of the incident, it had just been changed to a new court, and the food and salary could not continue, so I had to take risks.
3. There is a reason for the incident. There is no evidence that Sun Dianying has been planning for a long time, but there are indications that he was inspired and improvised it. Who was inspired? It was Ma Futianbu, the Feng bandit whom Sun Dianying had ordered to pursue, and he got the exact news that Ma Bu was plotting to excavate the Dongling.
It was with the inspiration of Ma Bu that the two major events of revenge and wealth were logically transformed into the motive of tomb robbery, and were quickly organized and implemented.
As soon as Pu Yi heard that Qianlong and Cixi had been dug out to feel the breath of the new era, he organized a group of clan relatives to complain everywhere and ask the government to thoroughly investigate the suspects. Later, first, Sun Dianying was willing to fight the autumn wind, and the upper echelons got a lot of benefits, and second, Lao Sun, this guy was really lucky, and when he couldn't protect him, Jiang Fengyan's war in the Central Plains rose again, and this guy immediately became the target of the two sides, turning the danger into a disaster.
In February 1933, a year and a half after the 918 Incident, Sun Dianying, commander of the 41st Army, was ordered to block the invading Japanese army in Chifeng, and held the majority of the Japanese army with superior firepower for seven days and nights, and then continued to patiently organize long-term battles.
In April 1943, the Japanese army surrounded Sun in the northern Henan region, and when it was about to be destroyed, Sun Dianying restored the old Japanese nature and surrendered to the Japanese army.
Before taking out the nail of justice and nailing Sun Dianying to the "pillar of shame in history", you might as well think about it for a while, ten years, this time is not long, but it is really not short
