"The so-called gold-looting lieutenants are a group of people who specialize in robbing tombs and stealing property from them to sell. They are commonly known as grave robbers!" Tidas slowly explained the duties of the gold-looting officer.
Hearing Tidas's words, a huge commotion broke out in the live broadcast room!
One must know that Yanxia Country had always been a country that cared about its reputation.
It could be said that everyone in Yanxia Country had this kind of attitude.
Especially in this world where history had taken a turn in the Ming Dynasty and they had not accepted the humiliation of the country.
Even though the citizens of Yanxia Country had also experienced a period of hardship and had even lost most of their historical records, they had not lost their confidence.
Therefore, they felt that no matter how bad Cao Cao was, he wouldn't set up such a profession that would cause him to die without descendants!
"How is that possible? Cao Cao had set up a military post that specialized in tomb raiding?!”
"Yes, although Cao Cao is only a formidable person in my eyes. But he shouldn't have done such a shameless thing, right?!”
"That's right. During the Three Kingdoms, people should be extremely superstitious. Why would he risk losing his descendants to do such a thing?!”
All kinds of shocked and disbelieving words rang out in the live broadcast room.
However, Tidas gave a strong negative answer.
"No, you've all underestimated Cao Cao! One had to know that Cao Cao was a tyrannical and ambitious person who would do anything to achieve his goals.”
"Moreover, when we analyze the other party's establishment of this position, we have to return to the original historical environment to find the reason. When Cao Cao established the profession of a gold-looting captain, it was actually quite accidental and inevitable. Of course, regarding this point, we'll wait until tomorrow when we talk about 'The Real Three Kingdoms'. Now, let's go back to the position of Gold-looting Lieutenant.”
"According to historical records, the Gold Robbing Lieutenant was a military position specially established by Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period to make up for his military pay. They mainly relied on observing Feng Shui and distinguishing the weather. They used the Book of Changes as their tenet to locate the acupoints of the ancient tomb to rob the tomb. Of course, due to the fact that the gold-looting lieutenant belonged to a tomb raider sect, there were no detailed records in the official history. They could only rely on scattered unofficial historical records and folk legends.”
"According to folk legends, over the years, other than the gold-raiding officers, there have been other factions that have appeared based on the methods and forms used. In the past 3,000 years of recorded history, I think there are three major grave robbing incidents that are most famous! Of course, tomb raiding didn't just refer to stealing funerary objects. It also referred to digging up other people's graves for revenge!”
At this point, Tidas stretched out his first finger.
Everyone could not help but look at his finger, as if all their attention was attracted to it.
"The first is the matter of 'whipping 300 corpses'. And the protagonist of this matter was Wu Zixu, a military officer of the State of Wu at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period! Because his father and brother were killed by the fatuous and lustful King Ping of Chu, he vowed to take revenge after escaping to the State of Wu. Later on, he and Sun Wu successfully broke into the State of Chu, dug up the tomb of King Ping of Chu, and whipped his corpse 300 times to avenge his father and brother. From this, it formed the historical story of 'whipping 300 corpses' that we are now well-known. It's recorded in our language textbooks! This is also why I listed it as one of the three most famous grave robbing incidents!”
He extended a second finger.
"The second is the burning of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. According to historical records, after Xiang Yu entered the pass, he not only killed the King of Qin, but also burned down Xianyang City and Epang Palace. He also dug up the tomb of the First Emperor of Qin to vent his anger and find the treasures in it. Moreover, 300,000 people were mobilized to transport the treasures in the tomb over 30 days. Those that could not be transported were burned on the spot. This point was clearly recorded in Li Daoyuan's " Shui Jing Zhu, Wei River ":" Xiang Yu sent 300,000 people to the pass. After 30 days of transportation, the goods could not escape. The thieves in the east of the country destroyed the coffins to get copper. The shepherds found sheep and burned them. The fire lasted for 90 days.'。This was the largest and most serious damage to Qin Shihuang's mausoleum recorded in history. Of course, according to the current research, some people said that the real tomb of Qin Shihuang did not suffer any destructive damage. Xiang Yu had only dug up the fake tomb on the outer perimeter. Since he could not find a way to enter the inner tomb, he decided to set fire to the tomb of Qin Shihuang. However, due to the great reputation of Qin Shihuang's tomb, I also listed it as one of the most famous tomb robbing incidents.”
Tidas stretched out his third finger, and his words paused at the same time.
"Thirdly, it's the matter of 'the Red-eyebrowed Army raping the corpse'! At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, after the Red Eyebrow Army invaded Chang 'an, for the sake of food and military pay. The Red Eyebrows Army began to excavate the tombs of the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty. Of course, if that was the case, I wouldn't have listed it as one of the three most famous grave robbing incidents. After all, whether it was Cao Cao's large-scale official robbery or the later Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Wen Tao's theft of the Guanzhong Eighteen Mausoleums was on a larger scale than this. The reason why I listed it as one of the three most famous grave robbing incidents is because something outrageous happened during the process of grave robbing. During the tomb raiding period, some Red Eyebrow Army soldiers became interested in Empress Lu's corpse, which had been buried in the tomb for more than 200 years but was still in good condition. Then, a series of unsightly things happened. This matter was recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Due to the vile nature of the plot, I listed it as one of the three most famous grave robbing incidents.”
"These are the three most famous grave robbing incidents in my opinion!”
At this point, there was a commotion in the live broadcast room. They did not expect such a vile act of grave robbing.
Of course, other than that, the grand occasion of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, as well as the thought of revenge revealed in the '300-corpse flogging' incident, also attracted them.
