Thirty: Talking about Song Jiang's fifth
Talking about Song Jiang's fifth
After becoming an adult, I had a deeper thought about Song Jiang. After Chao Gai left, only Song Jiang could lead Shuibo Liangshan. It can be said that without the Song River, it would be difficult for Shuibo Liangshan to develop and grow.
In the grass-roots period, whether a person can be the boss or not depends on whether his martial arts are high, but whether he has foresight, whether he can point out the direction for the "team", and make great progress, which is the most important thing.
Song Jiang is the third-generation leader of Shuibo Liangshan, the first generation is Wang Lun, and the second generation is Chao Gai.
Let's take a look at what kind of person Wang Lun is?
Wang Lun is known as the "white-clothed Xiushi", although he is the owner of the village in the early days of Liangshanbo, and has two leaders, Du Qian and Song Wan. But unable to become one of the one hundred and eight heroes, Wang Lun was jealous of his ability and thirsty for talent, but because he was afraid that Lin Chong, who was strong in martial arts, would gain power in Liangshan and made it difficult in many ways, he asked Lin Chong to surrender his name, but Lin Chong met Yang Zhi, a blue-faced beast who defected, and fought with him. In the end, he was particularly forced to join the gang.
When Chao Gai and others went up the mountain to join the gang, they refused under the pretext, and Lin Chong was provoked by Wu Yong's wisdom to fire Wang Lun. Everyone elected Chao Gai as the master of the cottage, opening up a new situation in Liangshan.
As the owner of the village, Wang Lun is too small to become a big deal. Of course, Lin Chong killed Wang Lun, which was too much.
Chao Gai, a native of Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, Shandong Province, is a wealthy man in Dongxi Village. In his life, he squandered money with righteousness, loved to make friends with heroes in the world, and was famous in the rivers and lakes. He likes to stab guns and make sticks, is strong, does not marry a wife, and works hard all day long.
Legend has it that the neighboring village of Xixi Village is haunted, one day, the people in the village were instructed by a monk, and a bluestone pagoda town was chiseled by the stream, and the ghost was driven to Dongxi Village. Chao Gai was furious, and took the bluestone pagoda alone and put it down by the East Stream, so he was called "the king of Tota".
Later, because of his conspiracy with Liu Tang, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, and Ruan's three heroes to outwit the Shengchengang, he was chased and killed by the government after the incident, and had to go to Liangshan to fall into the grass. Because Wang Lun, the owner of Liangshan Bo Village, was jealous and incompatible, Wu used Zhiqi Lin to rush into the fire and Wang Lun, and everyone pushed Chao Gai as the owner of the village.
When Song Jiang was in distress because of the anti-poem inscription in Xunyang Tower, Chao Gai and other Liangshan heroes robbed the Jiangzhou Law Field and rescued Song Jiang and Dai Zong. Later, in the battle against Zengtou City, he was shot in the cheek by a poisoned arrow and died. He died before he got out of school, and he was a hero with tragedy.
Chao Gai is much more clever than Wang Lun as the owner of the village, and he is particularly atmospheric. Generally speaking, as long as the hero comes to vote, it will be warmly welcomed. Shuibo Liangshan later prospered and Chao Gai became the owner of the village, which had a great relationship and was a suitable candidate.
However, even if Chao Gai does not die, there is no way for him to solve the future of the 108 generals. "Drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in a big piece" is Chao Gai's highest ideal.
Chao Gai died, and Song Jiang was pushed to the position of the owner of the village. As the boss, he has to think about the way out of his brothers.
When I was a child, I couldn't understand that Song Jiang opened his mouth to greet him and closed his mouth to greet him, which was very annoying. Later, I also thought about this question, what if Song Jiang didn't recruit An?
Fight against the court to the end, and the result is not to destroy the court, but to be wiped out by the court. Song Jiang is a person who is very loyal to the monarch, and Zhao'an can only be his last choice.
In order to recruit peace, it can be said that Song Jiang did not hesitate and encountered great resistance. The low-level characters represented by Li Kui, Wu Song, and Lu Zhishen are unwilling to recruit An. There are also many of the 108 generals who are at the bottom of the society, and they are also reluctant to recruit An.
Some people may say that Song Jiang is also a low-level figure in society, that is, a small official in the county, in today's words, a "quasi-civil servant", why is he so willing to recruit An?
Song Jiang himself gave this answer a long time ago - to seal his wife and son.
Song Jiang wants to be an official, and he wants to be a big official, he doesn't want to be a thief. In the final analysis, Liangshan Bo Qunxiong is a group of thieves and robbers. Song Jiang's way to become an official through the imperial examination was blocked, and unfortunately he fell into the grass, so he could only call the court after strengthening himself, and he had the chips to mix with an official and a half-job. This is no essential difference from a child crying and screaming and wanting to take a few more sips of milk.
Therefore, whoever stands in his way to Zhao'an, he is never polite.
In order to recruit An, Song Jiang tried all his tricks, and finally came to the door of Master Li......
