Was there really a gold-looting lieutenant in history?

" Gold Hunting Officer: Demon Subduing Palace " was a puzzle game that featured tomb raiding. Players had to keep moving forward, uncover mysteries, explore the depths of the tomb, find treasures, find the truth, and escape from the tomb with the gold-looting team. The game features included elements such as heaven, earth, humans, ghosts, gods, buddhas, demons, and animals. It also provided an immersive puzzle-solving experience by combining the unique puzzles created by the story. In addition, the game also restored the classic setting of the original novel, allowing players to experience a real tomb robbing journey.

The Mountain Sea Secret Treasure and the Gold-looting Commandant were two different elements in the novel and had no direct relationship. The Secret of Mountains and Seas was a novel with the theme of exploration and treasure hunting, while the Gold-looting Commandant was a novel with the main plot of treasure stealing and robbery. Although both novels involved mysterious treasures and adventures, their plots and character settings were very different.

The Gold Robbing Commandant was an organization of grave robbers in ancient China whose main business was to rob tombs. In the novels, the term " Big Dipper " usually referred to the grave robbing tools they used, which were huge iron buckets, also known as " iron sifts." The Dipper's main function was to filter and clean the soil and items on the ground before entering the tomb. Because there were many precious cultural relics and jewelry in the mausoleum, the work efficiency of the big bucket was very high. It could help the grave robbers find valuable items quickly. In novels, fighting was often described as a highly skilled and dangerous activity that required grave robbers to have great skill and physical strength to successfully enter the tomb and steal valuable items.

Gold-looting Lieutenant is just a talent in the history of the Thief Sect. In addition to the gold-looting lieutenant, there were also many talented tomb raiders in history. Here are some examples: 1 Cao Cao: Cao Cao once organized an army called the "Gold Hunting Lieutenant" to be responsible for tomb raiding. 2. Liu Bei: Liu Bei had once organized an army called the Tomb Robber Army, which was responsible for raiding tombs. 3. Guan Yu: Guan Yu once launched a rebellion in Jiangxia County. One of the reasons was because there was an ancient tomb in the area. Guan Yu thought that he could take advantage of the opportunity to launch a rebellion and rob the tomb. 4. Dong Zhuo: Dong Zhuo once used his power to organize an army called the "Iron Cavalry" to be responsible for tomb raiding. 5. Xiang Yu: Xiang Yu had once organized an army known as the " Thief Army " that was specifically responsible for tomb raiding. 6 Prime Minister Pei Du of the Tang Dynasty: Pei Du was once ordered by Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty to rob tombs to find his treasures because of corruption. Although these people were tomb raiders, their purpose was different. Cao Cao and Liu Bei were looking for treasures and wealth, while Xiang Yu and Pei Du were trying to cover up their corruption.

Fa Qiu Tian Guan and Mo Jin Wei were two important characters in the ancient Chinese novel Water Margins. Faqiu Tianguan was one of the leaders of Liangshan Lake. He used the amnesty as a rallying point to oppose the corrupt rule of the imperial court. As for the Gold Hunting Commandant, he was a special force in Liangshan Lake. His profession was to steal treasures, and he often worked together with Fa Qiu Tian Guan. In the novel, the relationship between Faqiu Tianguan and the gold-looting officer was very close. The two often acted together to steal treasures. Heavenly Official Fa Qiu and the Gold-looting Commandant's treasure theft was considered a legal crime because their actions were supported and approved by Liang Shanpo. Even though Faqiu Tianguan and Gold-looting Lieutenant were portrayed as treasure thieves in the novel, their actions were also condemned by society. In the novel, Qiu Tianguan and the gold-looting lieutenant's acts of stealing often aroused the vigilance of the court, but they used the "Liangshan Lake Uprising" as an excuse to escape the court's pursuit.

The " Gold Hunting Commandant " was a group of grave robbers in ancient China. Their main activities were during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Because their grave robbing activities involved legal and moral issues, there were not many records about them in history. According to the descriptions in novels and movies," Gold Hunting Commandant " was usually depicted as a grave robber who was good at digging ancient tombs with sharp tools. Because their grave robbing behavior seriously damaged cultural heritage and historical sites, they were often condemned and attacked in history. In novels and movies, the " gold-looting captains " often had tragic endings, such as being arrested by the government, sentenced to prison, or killed to silence them. However, in reality, due to the imperfection of the ancient laws, the grave robbing behavior of the "gold looting captain" might not involve legal issues, so their actual outcome might be more tragic. Some ancient documents also mentioned the activities of the "Gold-looting Commanders", but there was not much record of their follow-up.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was indeed an official position called Gold Robbing Lieutenant, but it did not refer to the clothes worn by grave robbers. It referred to a special force in the army. According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Gold Hunting Commandant was a special force formed by Cao Cao to be responsible for tomb raiding and treasure hunting. They wore special clothes and carried shovels and hammers. They used these weapons to protect the relics and treasures. However, there was no conclusive evidence in history to prove the existence of the gold-looting lieutenant because the Three Kingdoms period had passed for a long time. There were relatively few records and documents related to it. Therefore, we are unable to determine the specific work content and historical background of these officials.

There were many works about the gold-looting captain robbing tombs and treasure hunts, including "The King of Grave Robbers,""Ghost Blows Out the Light (The Experience of a Grave Robber),""The Gold-looting Ancestor,""My Years as a Gold-looting Captain," and "Anti-Grave Robbing: Scaring off the Gold-looting Captain at the Beginning."

Ghost Blows Out the Light was a Chinese web novel about exploration and tomb raiding. Among them, the Gold Robbing Commandant was a tomb raiding organization that was considered the most mysterious team in the novel. However, there was no concrete evidence as to whether the gold-looting lieutenant really existed in reality. Although there were many stories and legends about tomb raiding and exploration in China, a fictional tomb raiding organization like the Gold-looting Colonel had never existed in the real world. Some archaeologists and explorers had tried to find the historical organization of the gold-looting officers, but so far, they had not found any reliable evidence. Therefore, although the made-up tomb raiding organization was very popular in Chinese online novels, it did not exist in reality.

Similar novels like Gold-looting Commandant were recommended, such as Book of Troubled Times, Spirit Realm Walker, Tang's Table, King of Imperial Beasts, Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation, and so on.
