7 Song Jiang uprising test

Speaking of "Water Margin", we must talk about Song Jiang. Among the 108 generals in Liangshan, only Song Jiang has a prototype in history, and the others are fictional.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the government was corrupt, offering money to beg for peace, and looting at home, and the peasants suffered from heavy taxation and exploitation, resulting in displacement. In the first year of Xuanhe, Song Jiang recruited rebels and gathered people to revolt. Xuan led the crowd to attack Heshuo (generally referring to the lower reaches of the Yellow River) and Jingdong East Road (Zhiqingzhou, now Yidu, Shandong Province), and then fought between Qing and Qi (now Jinan, Shandong) and Puzhou (now Juanchengbei, Shandong), captured more than ten county cities, punished corrupt officials, killed the rich and helped the poor, and the momentum was increasing.

On the second day of December, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong heard that Hou Meng of Bozhou "pardoned and surrendered" and issued an edict to recruit An, but it was unsuccessful, so he ordered Zeng Xiaoyun, the governor of Shezhou, to lead the army to ask. Song Jiang avoided his front, led the people from Qingzhou to Yizhou (now Linyi, Shandong), and fought with the official army for more than a year.

In February of the third year, he captured the Huaiyang Army (under the rule of Pi, now east of Gupi Town, northwest of Suining, Jiangsu Province), and then entered Haizhou (now Lianyungang, Jiangsu) by ship from Shuyang (now part of Jiangsu). Zhizhou Zhang Shu sent an envoy to investigate the direction of the righteous army, and knew that Song Jiang approached the seashore with more than ten huge boats, and recruited more than 1,000 brave soldiers to set up an ambush near the city, and sent light troops to the sea to lure the battle.

In May, Song Jiang was ambushed and his ships burned, cutting off his retreat, defeated and captured, and the uprising was suppressed.

This was the basic course of the Songjiang Uprising.

"History of the Song Dynasty: Benji" 22, the third year of Xuanhe, February Gengwu...... Forgive the world. It is the state of the moon square lap. Huainan robbed Song Jiang and others to commit the Huaiyang army, sent generals to arrest and convict Jingdong and Hebei, entered the border of Chu and Haizhou, and ordered Uncle Zhang of Zhizhou to surrender at night. ”

"History of the Song Dynasty: Biography of the Lie" one hundred and twelve, "The Night Biography of Uncle Zhang", "The Song River started from Heshuo, and turned to ten counties, and the officials and soldiers did not dare to attack it. The claim is coming, the uncle night envoy is looking at the direction, the thief is on the verge of the sea, robbing more than ten boats, and the salt is captured. So he recruited a thousand dead soldiers, set up an ambush near the city, and sent light troops from the sea to lure the battle. Hide by the seaside first, wait for the army, and set fire to his boat. When the thieves heard it, they all had no fighting spirit, and the ambush soldiers took advantage of it, captured its deputy thief, and Jiang Nai surrendered.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Ruoshui, a servant of the ministry, wrote a poem "Catching Thieves and Becoming Puppets"——

Last year, the Song River started in Shandong, and the city was invaded during the day.

The killings are like grass, and the nine times are miserable.

The big book of yellow paper flew in, and thirty-six people worshiped the lord.

The fat pawn was arrogant, and the scholar and girl were stunned.

This year, Yangjiang started from Hebei, and the battle formation was based on the previous work.

Sighing and saying that the son has words, and I hope that the official family will recruit as soon as possible.

That's pretty much the most credible historical information we can find, and the rest is deductive.

Gong Kai (1222~1304?), a painter in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, wrote the "Praise and Preface to the Thirty-six People of Song Jiang", mentioning the following characters:

Hu Baoyi Song Jiang, Zhiduoxing Wu Xuezhi (Wu Yong), Jade Qilin Lu Junyi, Dadao Guan Sheng, Living Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi, Red-haired Ghost Liu Tang, Wuyu Arrow Zhang Qing, Prodigal Son Yan Qing, Sick Lieutenant Chi Sun Li, Langli Baitiao Zhang Shun, Boat Huo'er Zhang Heng, Short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaoer, Flower Monk Lu Zhishen, Walker Wu Song, Iron Whip Hu Yanxuan (Hu Yanzhuo), Mixed River Dragon Li Jun, Nine Pattern Dragon Shi Jin, Xiao Li Guanghuarong, Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, Black Whirlwind Li Kui, Little Whirlwind Chai Jin, Winged Black Tiger Lei Heng, Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong, Urgent Pioneer Suo Chao, Standing Tai Sui Ruan Xiaowu, the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi, the sick Guan Suo Yang.
