"Taiwei Gao has promoted the young general, it is the duty of the junior general to be loyal to the country, and the junior general will definitely live up to the trust of the saint and the captain, exterminate the Liangshan bandits as soon as possible, and return to the dynasty." Han Cunbao said in a high-sounding manner, to be honest, he really didn't want to talk to Gao Yu, an old thief.

Gao Yu laughed and said: "The old man also believes in the general's ability, and on the day when the class teacher returns to the court, the old man will personally greet the general at the gate of the city and ask for merit for the general in front of the saint."

Han Cunbao thanked Gao Yu again, and said a few more words patiently, at this time Cheng Ziming and Hu Chun also came over, both of them were people in the military general system, more or less people, Han Cunbao and the three of them met, Gao Yu said a few words of encouragement, and the three of them resigned from the Taiwei Mansion.

After Han Cunbao's border army outside the city and Cheng Ziming and Hu Chun's 2,000 forbidden army returned, they rested for three days, mainly because the two armies were running in together, and it was early in the morning of the fourth day that the army began to set out.

The county government of Yuncheng County, Jeju, when it was time to get off work that afternoon, a public man came out of the county office, but he saw that this person's eyes were like a phoenix, and his eyebrows were like lying silkworms. Dripping two earlobe beads, bright eyes painted. The lips are square, and the mustache is light; The forehead is wide and the top is flat, and the skin and flesh are full. When he sits like a tiger, he walks like a wolf. years and thirty years, there is a measure of giving to all people; The body is six feet, and the heart of the four seas is swept away. On the star Kui, feel the grace of Qiankun; Descend to the mortal world, gather the spirit of the mountains. Ambitious and beautiful-minded. The knife and pen dare to bully Xiao Xiangguo, and the name is not allowed to Meng Weijun.

As soon as you mention the appearance of this person, you will know who this person is, yes, this person is the hero in the Water Margin, known as Song Jiang and Song Gongming of Time Rain.

This Song Jiang can be said to be a well-known figure, even people who have not read the Water Margin also know the name of Song Jiang, this Song Jiang is known as Gongming, ranking third in the family, and he is described in the Water Margin as a filial piety, righteous and wealthy, because of his black face and short body, people call him "filial piety Hei Saburo". Before going to Liangshan, he worked as a priest in Yuncheng County, that is, a low-level civil servant, proficient in swords and pens, proficient in officials, and loved to learn guns and sticks, and learned a lot of martial arts. Song Jiang had no choice but to get acquainted with the heroes in the rivers and lakes in his life, but when someone came to him, no matter what his identity, he accepted him warmly and chased him all day long, and he was not tired of it at all; If you want to get up, you can do your best to fund, which can be called a spending! When asked for money, he did not shirk it; And it's easy to do, and it's difficult to solve disputes every time, but it's just a matter of people's lives. Usually scatter coffin bait, help the poor, save people's urgency, help people's difficulties, therefore, everyone compares him to the "timely rain" that can save all things in the sky, in Shandong, Hebei is very famous.

Song Jiang, many people have different evaluations of him, some people say that he is loyal and righteous, and some people say that he is a hypocritical villain, is Song Jiang hypocritical? Hypocrisy, unscrupulous means without ends. For example, in order to invite Qin Ming to go up the mountain, he ordered Liu Tang Wang Ying to pretend to be Qin Ming and slaughter the people of Qingzhou, so that Qin Ming's family died tragically; In order to invite Lu Junyi to go up the mountain, he pretended to write anti-poems, which made Lu Junyi's family ruined; In order to invite Xu Ning to go up the mountain, he stole his family heirloom armor............ Although Wu Yong has a head out in these things, it may not be without Song Jiang's nod of approval, and his hypocrisy is so much.

The first to evaluate Song Jiang was Jin Shengsi, who said that Song Jiang was an inferior person and was very degraded. Song Jiang himself said: black appearance, short body, born as a small official, Wen can't be Anbang, martial arts can't serve the public, no hands have the power to bind chickens, and no body has the ability to shoot arrows (in the sixty-eighth chapter of "Water Margin"). This shows that Song Jiang is still self-aware.

To be honest, I don't like Song Jiang, but we should evaluate Song Jiang from the actual and rational nature of his works, consider the historical background at that time, and not judge right and wrong based on personal likes and dislikes. Now I will analyze Song Jiang from three aspects: family background, cultural upbringing, and occupation.

First, the influence of Song Jiang's background and occupation on his thoughts, personality, and life path. In the Water Margin, when Song Jiang appeared, he and his father Song Taigong were farming in the village, guarding some farms to live, and working as a priest in Yuncheng County. Song Jiang read Confucianism since childhood, received traditional education, entered the society to be a priest in the county government, proficient in knives and pens, it can be said that Song Jiang is a little bit of power at the bottom of the society, his background experience and character, so that he understands and experiences the pain of the people, has a sense of justice, and develops a kind of cautious, improvised, and likes to play power.

Because Song Jiang served as a minor official in the government, he understood the law and had the habit of abiding by the law. After Song Jiang arrived in Liangshanbo, he handled the problem more thoroughly, and some people said that he was hypocritical and played with power, which was a means for him to deal with problems. Such as capturing the thunderbolt fire Qin Ming, giving way to Lu Junyi, etc. After he sinned, the yamen put a yoke on him, and when others opened the shackle, he said that he could not, because this is the law of the state.

Second, after Song Jiang went to Liangshan, he became the leader of the rebel army. He himself said that he was not superior in civil and military affairs, his wisdom was not as good as Zhi Duoxing Wuyong, and his martial arts were not as good as Lin Chong, Guan Sheng and others, why could he still be the leader of Liang Shanbo? This is due to the following advantages of Song Jiang: fighting righteousness and squandering wealth, and has a certain appeal in the rivers and lakes; care for brothers, brothers in distress try to save each other; He had a certain degree of organizational and military command ability, such as the Battle of Zhujiazhuang, where he paid attention to summing up experience, starting from the investigation of the truth and the facts, and dismantling the alliance between Zhujiazhuang and the other two companies.

Third, after being recruited, Song Jiang became a loyal minister of the imperial court. His idea is to contribute to the country and keep the people safe. After Chao Gai's death, Song Jiang changed the "Juyi Hall" to "Zhongyi Hall", which was an important thing for the rebel army and a major key to Song Jiang's recruitment in the Water Margin. After being recruited, the banner of "Acting for the Heavenly Road" on Liangshan was changed to "Shuntian Protecting the Country", and he also went from the leader of the rebel army to the obedient minister of the imperial court. At this time, Song Jiang's thoughts were: I love the country, the emperor represents the country, the court does not live up to me, and I live up to the court. He did not listen to the persuasion of Wu Yong and other heroes, and went to recruit Fang La, the leader of the rebel army, and fought very fiercely.

Fourth, the tragic ending. After Song Jiang led everyone to conquer Fangla, there were still 27 of the original 108 heroes left, and the rest either sacrificed or ran away, and the court did not trust him and harmed him to death. Before Song Jiang died, he was afraid that Li Kui would rebel again, so Li Kui would be poisoned to death by drinking medicinal wine.

Therefore, summing up Song Jiang's life, it is tortuous, first the righteous heroes are praised by the world, the leader of Liangshan raises the banner of the way for the sky, and after recruiting An, he becomes a loyal minister of the imperial court to fight in the south and the north, and finally it is a tragic ending.

The Liangshan Rebels were a great problem for the current dynasty, and they had to do everything possible to eradicate it. As a result, the imperial court was defeated in three battles, and Gao Taiwei also became Song Jiang's prisoner. According to the practice of Liangshan, if you should surrender in full, leave Gao Yu in Liangshan, otherwise you will be killed.

But just when the heroes were full of righteous indignation, Song Jiang was abnormal, against the will of the heroes, bowed his head, not only did not kill, but treated him like a guest, hospitalized, and finally let Gao Yu go, as a way to pave the way for the future recruitment, and staged a scandalous drama of letting the tiger return to the mountain, saying that it was to seek a good future for the heroes of Liangshan, but it was better to say that Song Jiang made a dirty political transaction for his own selfishness.

Throughout the history of the development and growth of the Liangshan Uprising, Song Jiang's appeal and organizational ability far exceeded that of Liangshan's former leaders Wang Lun, Chao Gai and Wu Yong and Lu Junyi in the current leadership collective, he created the glorious heyday of Liangshan, but it was his influence that promoted the Liangshan team to surrender to the imperial court in the case of military succession, resulting in countless deaths and injuries of Liangshan heroes.
