Shadow of the Tomb Raider: A Complete Record of the History of Tomb Raiders in China

Chapter 70 The Ancestral Grave Digging Event in the History of Chinese Tomb Raiders (4)
After Wan Yanliang proclaimed himself emperor, he moved the capital to Zhongdu, gradually Sinicizing the Kingdom of Jin.A large number of talents from Bohai, Khitan, and Han people were employed to expand the foundation of the regime, and the statue of Wanyan Liang consolidated the rule.In the third year of Tiande (1151 A.D.), Yanjing City (today's Beijing) was expanded, and the capital city was "secluded in a corner, it was difficult for officials to transfer, and it was difficult for the people to go to court" as an excuse to get rid of the restraint of the opposition. In 1153 A.D., the Jurchen aristocrats left Shangjing between the white mountains and the black waters to come to Nanjing, which accelerated the feudalization of the Jurchen and their integration with the Han nationality.It is recorded in the history that "to camp in the Nanjing (Yanjing) Palace, the cost of transporting a tree is up to 2000 million, and the rate of a car is up to 500 people. The decoration of the palace is covered with gold and then colorful, and the gold chips fly into the air like falling snow. One hall The cost is in the hundreds of millions, and it is completed and then destroyed, and the work is extremely gorgeous.".In the first year of Zhenyuan (AD 1153), Yanjing was changed to Zhongdu, the capital of the Jin Dynasty, and all the clans and relatives and their subordinates were moved to Zhongdu and Shandong to prevent rebellion.In the third year of Tiande, the hereditary ten thousand household positions were dismissed, so as to change the status of the nobles' "succession of descendants" and monopolizing authority.Imitating the system of the Central Plains dynasty, the Imperial Academy was set up to educate students.Reform the imperial examinations.In the second year of Zhenyuan, banknotes were reintroduced, and banknotes were printed and handed over, parallel to copper coins.In the first year of Zhenglong (1156 A.D.), the Zhenglong official system was promulgated, and at the same time, the "continued surrender system" was promulgated, and the law was supplemented, paralleling the imperial system during Xizong's time.

But like the emperors who usurped the throne in the past, King Hailing's disadvantages are as great as his advantages, and the one thing is his bloodthirsty nature.Not long after he became emperor, he killed more than 100 royal family members who disagreed with him and opposed him.Although political reforms have advanced, hidden dangers in the harem have also been planted.

Like Jin Wushu, the famous general of the Kingdom of Jin, King Hailing was also an old opponent of the Southern Song regime.After he was named "General Fengguo" at the age of 18, his father Zonggan sent him to the tent of Jin Wushu, commander of the Jin Army, intending to train his son.With his outstanding achievements, King Hailing was successively promoted to General of Hussars and General of Dragon and Tiger Guards.However, King Hailing was very lustful, and he had the notoriety of "lewd women all over the world".

Once, seeing him go to his aunt, he actually killed the uncle and took the aunt as his concubine.Therefore, "Golden History" stated, "(Hailing) wants to be a king, then kills his king, wants to conquer a country, kills his mother, and wants to seize a man's wife, then makes him kill his husband. The three cardinal principles are absolutely dead, so why not talk about it. As for the massacre of the clan, cut off (yì) Zhongliang, women, aunts and sisters all entered the concubine's imperial court. Fang used 32 commanders to conquer the world, inspired by the hostility of the soldiers, and died from evil, so that the world's future generations will be called the Lord of No Way. Ling is the leader."

In the third year of Zhenglong, the palace in Nanjing (now Kaifeng, Henan) was built, and troops from all walks of life were recruited, preparing to invade the south to destroy the Song Dynasty and unify China.It is said that he finished reading Liu Yong's "Looking at the Tide of the Sea": "The shape of the southeast is superior, the three Wu cities, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times... there are three autumn osmanthus, ten miles of lotus", and because of his favorite minister Liang Ping, "extremely beautiful and beautiful Concubine Liu Guifei of the Song Dynasty ". ("Golden History·Liang Ping Biography") "So I set up the ambition of throwing a whip across the river and riding Wushan", an impromptu poem said:
When Wanli Cheshu is confused, is there any other border in the south of the Yangtze River?

Raise a million troops on the West Lake, and immediately reach the first peak of Wushan Mountain.

In February of the sixth year of Zhenglong, he set off from Zhongdu for a southern tour, and in June, he arrived in Nanjing.King Hailing personally supervised the army to cross the Huaihe River and left Luzhou (now Hefei, Anhui).Su Baoheng, Minister of the Ministry of Life and Industry, led the navy from Haidao to Lin'an (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang).In October, Cao Guogong Wanyanyong (Wulu), who was left behind in Tokyo, launched a rebellion, proclaimed himself emperor in Liaoyang, changed Yuan Dading, and abolished Wanyan Liang.Wu Lu was once favored by Wan Yanliang because of his wife, and his wife committed suicide halfway to save his life and innocence.King Hailing continued southward with the fire in his backyard.When the navy led by Su Baoheng arrived at Chenjiadao in Jiaoxi, it was suddenly attacked by Song General Li Bao's navy and almost wiped out.In November, Wan Yanliang led an army to cross the Yangtze River in Caishiji, but was defeated by Song Yuyunwen.So he led his troops back to Hezhou (now Hexian County, Anhui Province) and headed towards Yangzhou, planning to cross the river from Guazhou (now south of Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province).One day earlier, there was a mutiny in the army, and King Hailing was hacked and wounded by Yan Yuanyi, the commander of the military and horse capital in western Zhejiang, and finally strangled to death with a rope, wrapped in a cloak and burned. He died at the age of 40.

In April of the second year of King Sejong's Dading (AD 1162), he was conferred the title of King of Hailing County, and his posthumous title was Yang, so he was also called King Yang of Hailing. He was buried in the cemetery of the kings of Lumen Valley in Dafang Mountain.In the first month of the 21st year of Dading (1181 A.D.), Jin Xizong, who was murdered by King Hailing, was enshrined in the Taimiao in the 19th year of Dading.

In the first year of Kaixing (AD 1232), the Mongols besieged Bianjing, the capital city of Jin. The old emperor Aizong Wanyan Shouxu abandoned Bianjing, left his mother and lost his wives and concubines, and fled to Caizhou.In the first month of the third year of Tianxing (the year name has changed) (AD 1234), two armies of Song and Mongolia attacked the Kingdom of Jin from the south to the north.At that time, the sound of killing outside the city was loud, and the country was about to be destroyed.Wanyan Shouxu's overnight biography is located in the East Marshal Wanyan Chenglin. This is the last emperor of the Jin Kingdom. Wanyan Chenglin probably has the shortest time as an emperor in Chinese history, not even half a day.

The enthronement congratulatory ceremony ended the next morning. The title of the emperor was not determined, and the throne was not hot yet. Caizhou fell. .It was heard that the emperor hanged himself, and more than 500 courtiers and soldiers also threw themselves into the river. The scene was very tragic.The new emperor Wanyan Chenglin was also killed by the rebels, and the Kingdom of Jin was declared dead.

At first, the Mongols regarded Jin as an enemy country. After entering Beijing, for the purpose of revenge, they robbed and destroyed the Jin Emperor's tomb.But after the unification of China was completed, the Mongols recognized the Kingdom of Jin as a family, sorted out the tombs of the Jin Emperors, and pretended to offer regular sacrifices. The tombs of the Jin Emperors once became one of the famous "Eight Views of Western Beijing" in the Yuan Dynasty.However, 388 years after the death of the Jin Dynasty, after another dynasty, in the second year of the Ming Dynasty (1622 A.D.) when Zhu Youxiao was the emperor, the Jin Emperor's tomb was destroyed because of "letting the king's spirit and breaking the dragon's veins". The disaster was called "Apocalypse digging the tomb" in history.

At that time, Nurhachi, a descendant of Jurchen, had unified the various ministries of Jurchen Jianzhou, and established a state in the Northeast in the 44th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty.The purpose of using this country name is obvious, it is to revive the Jin Kingdom established by the Jurchens.

In the Ming Dynasty, due to the rise of the Houjin regime, the Emperor Ming was confused by the sorcerer's theory, thinking that the rise of the Houjin was "related to the Qi veins" of Jinling, so he demolished the above-ground buildings in Jinling.In the early Qing Dynasty, some mausoleums were repaired, and special households were set up to guard the mausoleum, and the Spring and Autumn Solstice Festival was held.It was repaired again during Qianlong, but it was severely damaged later, and the above-ground part of Jinling almost disappeared.Beginning in 1986, the Beijing Municipal Department of Cultural Relics conducted a survey of Jinling, determined the specific location of Jinling in Yunfeng Mountain, a branch of Dafang Mountain, and found the Jingling of Jin Ruizong.

At that time, Liaoyang, the capital of the Empress Jin Dynasty, was full of vitality and posed a serious threat to the Ming Dynasty.However, in the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian dominated government affairs. The corruption was utterly chaotic, the society was chaotic, rebels were everywhere, internal and external troubles, and the regime was crumbling.Zhu Youxiao believed that Houjin was the "remnant evil of the Jin Kingdom" and that its rise was due to the fact that the Jin Emperor's Mausoleum in the west of Beijing was buried more than 300 years ago. "Smart plan".

In layman's terms, this "trick" is to dig Nurhachi's ancestral grave.

At that time, Nurhaci, a descendant of Jurchen, had unified the various ministries of Jurchen Jianzhou, and established a country in the northeast in the 44th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty. The country was named "Jin", and it was called Houjin in history.Nurhachi's intention of using this country name is obvious, which is to revive the Jin Kingdom established by the Jurchens.

In the second year of Tianqi and the third year of Tianqi (1622 and 1623 A.D.), Zhu Youxiao sent people to dig tombs in Jiulong Mountain twice to destroy them. It was destroyed, and there was no one left.After smashing all the buildings on the ground, they dug up the underground palaces of the mausoleums and blocked them with scattered stone pillars, railings and other building components and chaotic stones.

In order to completely sever the Jurchen kingship, according to the advice of the geomancy master, the ground was broken on the "dragon head" where Jin Taizu Ruiling was located, and a piece was "cut off" by force. This "dragon" becomes a dead dragon.

In order to completely destroy the Jurchen's "royal spirit", many Guandi temples were built on various mausoleum sites to "suppress" the Jurchen's royal spirit.In particular, a "Gao Pagoda" was built at the original site of Ruiling, and Niu Gao, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty who fought against the Jin with Yue Fei, was invited to "resist the Jin" for the Ming Dynasty together with Guan Gong.The reason why the "Gao Pagoda" was built at the original site of Ruiling is because the story of "death of Jin Wushu with anger, death of Niu Gao with laughter" happened there.The remains of temples and pagodas built at that time still exist today.

Some people doubted this at first, because it was not recorded in "History of Ming Dynasty".In fact, this matter is real. It can be seen in the inscription made by Xuan Ye in the second year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. ".Zhu Youxiao destroyed the imperial mausoleum of the King of Jin, and he dug up the "dragon vein" of Jurchen, but in the end, the emperor surnamed Zhu was not there, and his king's anger was exhausted, and the country was taken away by the Manqing.why?Kangxi said, "The rise and fall of a country's destiny has always been related to the goodness of the main virtue. The gods have learned from it, but virtue is right. Those with virtue will prosper, and those without virtue will perish. It has nothing to do with the geomantic omen of mountains and hills."

However, Zhu Youxiao destroyed the tomb of the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and the "dragon vein" of the Qing Dynasty did not seem to be broken, but it was the emperor Zhu who was surnamed Universiade who was no longer there, which vented his royal spirit.In the tenth year of Tiancong (1636 A.D.), the "Houjin" was renamed Daqing and became stronger. In 1644, the Qing regime finally ended the Ming Dynasty founded by Zhu Yuanzhang. It was not until 268 AD, 1911 years later, that the "dragon vein" of the Qing Dynasty was really cut off and replaced by the Republic of China—the long feudal society of China. end!China's extensive and profound emperor's mausoleum culture has also become a swan song through the ages!

Digging ancestral graves to end the uprising

After the Opium War, the Qing government passed on a large amount of military expenditure and huge indemnities to the working people.Due to the five-port trade agreement, foreign industrial products flooded into China. High-quality and cheap industrial products excluded traditional Chinese household sidelines and handicrafts. Farmers and handicraftsmen in the southeastern coastal areas went bankrupt and lost their livelihoods.At the same time, landlords intensified their exploitation of peasants, and land annexation became more serious.The Qing government's taxes increased every year, which made the peasants overwhelmed. From 1840 to 1850, floods, droughts, and locust plagues continued year after year in Guangdong, Guangxi, and many parts of the country.Peasants resisted as many as 110 times.Especially in Guangdong and Guangxi, due to the direct impact of the Opium War, social unrest became more intense.

During this period, Hong Xiuquan was attracted by the single theocracy and the Christian view of equality in "Good Words to Advise the World". Starting from the requirements and interests of the peasant class, he successively wrote "Song of Saving the World by the Original Dao", "Awakening the World by the Original Dao" and "Awakening the World by the Original Dao".At the same time, Feng Yunshan propagated anti-Qing thoughts among the poor peasants and charcoal burners in the Zijing Mountain area, and carried out the organization work of worshiping God. In 1849, there were more than 1850 worshipers in the God-worshiping congregation. Around [-], the conflict between the God Worshipers and the landlord regiment became increasingly acute, and it was under such circumstances that the peasant uprising in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was conceived and launched.

On January 1851, 1, Hong Xiuquan led an uprising in Jintian Village, Guiping County, Guangxi, and the founding of the country was named "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom". In March, the Taiping Army moved to Dongxiang, Wuxuan, and Hong Xiuquan officially called him the "king of heaven"; in September, the Taiping Army captured Yong'an Prefecture.During his stay in Yong'an, he carried out rest and supplementation and system construction, which initially established the embryonic form of the political system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

In April 1852, the Taiping Army broke through from Yong'an, encircled Guilin in the north, conquered Quanzhou, and entered Hunan.In the Quanzhou Battle, Feng Yunshan died in battle.On the way to Hunan, the Taiping Army issued important proclamations such as "Feng Tian Hu Xi Bu Si Fang Yu", which clarified the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's purpose of "eliminating evil spirits and clarifying China", and called on the masses to respond.Trackers and boatmen on the Xiangjiang River; porters and porters on the wharf; blacksmiths, traders, and carpenters in towns; and coal miners in the mountainous areas of Chenzhou and Guiyang participated in the uprising, and the Taiping Army grew rapidly. In January 4, the Taiping Army captured the three towns of Wuhan, and the number of troops increased to 1853, which greatly boosted their prestige. In February, the Taiping Army traveled both land and water, and went eastward along the river, even conquering important towns such as Jiujiang, Anqing, and Wuhu. On March 1, the Taiping Army occupied Nanjing, and Hong Xiuquan entered the city of Nanjing, announcing that Nanjing would be changed to Tianjing and the capital would be Tianjing.The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established a peasant revolutionary regime that opposed the Qing Dynasty.

Hong Xiuquan (1814-1864), formerly known as Hong Renkun and Hong Huoxiu, was originally from Fuyuanshui Village, Hua County, Guangdong (now Huadu District, Guangzhou City), and later moved to Guanlubu Village.Known as the "king of heaven", he took Nanjing as the capital in 1853 and changed his name to Tianjing. He died of illness in Tianjing in 1864, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom perished shortly after his death.

According to Fu Lici, a British translator and acting consul in Ningbo who has no hostility towards the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, recorded in his book "Tianjing Travel Notes": "The king of heaven has a crown made of pure gold and weighs eight catties; he also has a gold necklace. A string also weighs eight catties. His embroidered gold dragon robe also has gold buttons. He ascended from the inner palace to the main hall and came to court. He also rode a golden chariot called the Holy Dragon Chariot, and he walked away with a beautiful woman..." The ancestors of the Hong family Just peasants, why did Hong Xiuquan become so rich?Does this have anything to do with the location of the Hong family's ancestral grave?Was Hong Xiuquan's downfall related to the digging of his ancestral grave?

Hong Xiuquan's ancestral tomb is located on Furongzhang Mountain in the north of Huaxian County, Guangdong Province. Furongzhang is located in the north of Furong Town, with an altitude of 360 meters.And because it stretches across the back of the plain in the middle of the county, it is lined up like a screen, so it is called Furongzhang.In the south of the mountain, there is "Bai Shui Pai (lǚ)", also known as "Xishan Waterfall", which looks like Bailian cascading down in five steps from a height of 50 meters, splashing rocks and flying flowers, pouring into the pool, and its sound is booming.A literati once chanted it as "a section of cloud hangs in the cliff, and the green mountain is divided into jade dragons. It is difficult to see the river and the river, and the noise of wind and thunder is shocking. When the summer is cold to the people, the sky touches the stone and rains one after another..."

If there is no Fengshui master Lai Buyi, I am afraid that outsiders will never know that Furongzhang is a treasured place of Fengshui.

Lai Buyi, formerly known as Lai Fenggang, styled as Wenjun, is named Buyizi, so he is also called Lai Buyi, also known as "Prophet Mountain Man", a native of Fengshangang, Dingnan County, Jiangxi Province.Born in the Huizong period of Song Dynasty (1101-1126 AD), he was a high school scholar at the age of nine.He used to be a national teacher, but was framed by the traitor Qin Hui and lived in exile for a long time.Lai Buyi has traveled almost all over the land of the motherland. With his superb geomancy theory and technology, he has helped the poor and rescued the poor along the way, helping the weak and resisting the strong. He has left many mythical legends, and the reputation of "Feng Shui Master" has spread like wildfire. .Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Yingde and other cities were selected by Lai Buyi.It is said that "Qingwu Preface" written by Lai Buyi was taken away by Bai Yuan, the envoy of the Nanhua Emperor, after it was finished, and passed to Liu Bowen more than 100 years later. Liu Bowen assisted Zhu Yuanzhang to achieve the emperor's career with it.It is also said that Mr. Sun Yat-sen's ancestral grave was also surveyed by Lai Buyi.Later, Lai Buyi saw through the world of mortals and hid in the mountains and forests. He always kept company with the green mountains and white clouds, but he disappeared.Lai Buyi is honored as one of the four patriarchs of geomancy in southern Jiangxi.

Lai Buyi got the true biography from his father Lai Chengshan when he was young, and he walked the rivers and lakes at the age of 18, making a living with Feng Shui.He found the "Dragon Vein" extending southward in the mountains of northern Guangdong. He was very happy and determined to follow the "Dragon Vein".He left Nanxiong along the "dragon vein", crossed the Qujiang River, went down to Yingde, crossed Qingyuan, entered the northern mountainous area of ​​Huashan Mountain, and came to Furongzhang.Seeing the extraordinary momentum, he thought it was the "knot point" of the dragon's veins.Before leaving, I took up a verse: "Furong peak above the head, the earth altar under the feet, the boat-covering hill on the right, the oriole and bee sinus (meaning 'cave') on the left, the water mouth of the carp, and the lion and elephant guarding the gate tower. Whoever gets buried in the middle will be the princes and princes." It turns out that there are three small hills protruding from the southern foot of the mountain, and the one in the middle is called the Earth Altar, which is the largest; the ones on the left and right are called Fuchuangang and Yingfengdou respectively.It is about one kilometer away to the south, and it happens to be opposite to three hills.The one in the middle is named Aoyu Hill (it was rumored to be Liyu Hill by later generations), and at a distance of several hundred meters from the left and right sides, there are two mountains called "Lion" and "Elephant", both of which are named after their similar shapes. After living in Furongzhang for a few days, he bid farewell to the villagers and left.I heard that he followed the "Longmai" again, and then went to Nanhai, Shunde, Panyu, Bao'an, lived in Kowloon for a while, and then rented a small boat to Hainan Island. Hua County has been circulating.

During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, a family of the Hong family moved from Shikeng Town, Meixian County, Guangdong Province to Fuyuanshui Village, Huaxian County to settle down.Less than two years after they moved here, Old Man Hong passed away and was first buried near Fuyuan Water Village.Old man Hong's second son, Hong Yinglun, knew a little about feng shui. After he learned of the feng shui poem in Furongzhang, he went to Furongzhang to inspect it according to the poem, and found that it was indeed a treasured place of feng shui.So he chose a location, moved his father's body here, and rebuilt the tomb.The shape of the tomb is like a grand teacher's chair, which is built with green bricks. There is a granite tombstone in the middle. The inscription on the stele is "rebuilt on the 20th year of Jiaqing on the auspicious day of Autumn Valley". The inscription is "Sacrificing men Yingyi, Yinglun, Yingjian, Yingwei, and Sun Huixuan Tongli."
