Who dug the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi?

/kloc-in the spring of 0/928, Sun Dianying, a Henan warlord nicknamed Sun Ma, went straight to the Qing Dongling late at night in the name of fighting bandits. Engineers blasted the tomb, blasted the diamond wall of the entrance downstairs of Empress Dowager Cixi, opened the passage to the underground palace, knocked down the stone gate and entered the tomb.

After the death of Cixi, she was buried in the Qing Dongling in Zunhua, Hebei Province. At that time, the situation was chaotic and bandits were rampant. There are many bandits in eastern Hebei, which are extremely rampant. In this case, the National Revolutionary Army sent Sun Dianying to suppress it. On the way, Sun Dianying often saw that the timber of the demolished Dongling Temple was stolen in large quantities, and he became unjust. Then, when he learned that Ma Futian was stationed in Malanyu to dig the tomb, he thought it was a godsend and immediately ordered Tan Wenjiang, the teacher of the Eighth Division, to lead troops to drive Ma Futian away overnight. At the same time, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, they posted notices everywhere, claiming that the troops would engage in military exercises and start planned grave robbing operations.

Sun Dianying held an emergency meeting in the army, announcing that the overthrow of the imperial tomb was also a revolution, a "just" move to inherit Dr. Sun Yat-sen's legacy and contribute to the revolution, and Feng announced the action plan. He ordered his two teachers, Tan Wenjiang and Chai, to survey and plan, and in the seventeenth year of the Republic of China (1928), the engineering battalion took the lead in blasting.
