Chapter 18 is unwilling, and the mountains are whimpering for the sad wind
Shi Qian picked up the first glass of wine again: "Our brothers on the beam were originally farming, fishing, etc. as a means of making a living, and were ordinary ordinary people, who knows what kind of granite of Laoshizi was going to be transported by the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and they had to tear down the house and pull out the bridge, so that Uncle Chao was stoned to death in the house for no reason. Originally, he wouldn't live for a few years at his age, and no one could have imagined that he would live for a few more decades. In this way, if you don't care about Uncle Chao's life or death, the government can transport Huashigang as much as it wants, and you can kill as many of these as you want. But our brothers in Liangshan just admit death, so they can't avoid making trouble, and it's also me Song Jiang who is confused, and I am involved in Lord Zhang, which also makes Brother Chao Gai die in vain, and I am confused and forgetful, and I am confused, so what can I do, I can only let Lord Zhang take care of it more, and save my brothers on Liangshan again, thank you in advance for Shi Qian! Shu Ye himself also knows that there are not many courtiers today, and it is inappropriate to be a courtier to denounce him, so when Song Jiang has such a confession, he doesn't say anything, just drinks with wine.

Shi Qian held the cup, and suddenly laughed and said: "I ran all day today, I was in a hurry, I felt very tired, and after arriving, I barely practiced kung fu for a while, which inevitably led me to go crazy, and I now feel that I may be dying." I remember that my uncle Cao Bing estimated that he would live for about two years and months, but I didn't have the same ability as him, but I might only be able to calculate for a while. Before he could finish this sentence, everyone sitting was dumbfounded, and when he saw the sudden rise of the wind and clouds at this time, the scene suddenly changed significantly, and everyone looked stunned, and their faces changed.
Hou Meng scolded loudly: "Lord Song Dazhai is such a great person, don't be that cowardly villain, if you die now for no reason, isn't this harming me and Master Zhang's old age?" ”
In this way, Song Jiang served as the leader of the civil rebellion during the Song Xuanhe period, and later surrendered to the Song Dynasty. His words are clear, nicknamed Hu Baoyi, and also known as timely rain. He is a righteous person, famous in the rivers and lakes, and admired by recklessness all over the world. As the head of the Liangshan Bo Righteous Army, he is the first Tiankui Star in the Tiangang Earth Demon Ranking. Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, it can be said that he is very talented, reciting poetry and singing, can write and paint, and is particularly fond of fun, sound, color, calligraphy, painting, strange flowers and stones, birds and beasts, and even juju, etc., everything is bad. He is a famous hedonistic prince and a faint prince in history. Anyone who can do what he likes, whether it is a minister of the court, a court eunuch, or a market man, can be trusted and reused by him, among which the most important are Cai Jing, Zhu Mian, Tong Guan and other six people, known as the "six thieves". The rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty spent all day drinking, and the vast number of peasants were hungry and cold, in the face of Cai Jing and his gang to squander the people's ointment, the people complained, and could not help but send out the call of "breaking the cylinder (Tong Guan), splashing vegetables (Cai Jing), it is a good world in the world", so the peasant uprisings broke out one after another, among them, the Song Hui Zongxuan and the first year of the Liangshanbo Songjiang peasant uprising, the momentum was greater, and the influence was very wide.
In the first year of Xuanhe, the Song Dynasty forcibly ordered Liangshanbo to be taken under "public ownership", and the people who lived by fishing and harvesting lotus root must pay taxes by boat. Heavy taxes forced people to have no way out, so in November, Song Jiang and others rose up and planted the banner of resistance on Liangshan. Song Jiang, a native of Yuncheng, has a bold temperament and is willing to help. Chen Tai of the Yuan Dynasty said in the "Suo'an Posthumous Collection: Jiangnan Preface" that "Song Zhi is a man, a brave and crazy man", and he has made friends with many heroes in the rivers and lakes, and has a lot of prestige among the local people. After Song Jiang and others were forced to go to Liangshan to raise the banner of the uprising, many fishermen and ordinary people also went up the mountain. They took up hoes, sickles, wood knives, and wood cutting as guns, and waged a heroic struggle against the officers and soldiers who came to suppress them. Every time they attacked the next prefecture or county, they opened warehouses to release grain and provide relief to the poor, and they were deeply supported by the masses and quickly grew in strength.
When the news of the Songjiang uprising reached the capital, the Northern Song court did not pay much attention to it at first. On December 2 of the first year of Xuanhe, Song Huizong issued an edict, saying that there was a rebellion on Jingdong Road, and ordered the East and West Road to be arrested and killed. The rulers of the Song court thought that the rebels could be wiped out easily, but the situation developed far beyond their expectations. Because the Song army had not fought for a long time, lacked training, and had extremely poor combat effectiveness, while Song Jiang was extremely talented, and all the 36 people under his command were strong and brave men, heroes and mighty people, so the Song court's conquest not only did not eliminate the Song Jiang rebel army, but made it famous in the battle with officers and soldiers. After that, Song Jiang led the rebel army to gallop quickly, in the encirclement and interception of several times the official army, besieged the city and captured the land, broke the state in Fengzhou, met the government and passed the government, and attacked the enemy in a mobile and flexible manner, successively attacked Qingzhou, Jeju, Puzhou, and Yunzhou, and expanded the scope of activities from Shandong to all parts of Hebei, spanning hundreds of miles, as if walking in a no-man's land.
Just when the Songjiang rebel army moved to various parts of the Huanghuai Plain, in the winter of the second year of Xuanhe, Fang La, the leader of the Zhejiang peasant uprising, also led the righteous army to break through Chuzhou and Xiuzhou, and the offensive was fierce, which made the Northern Song Dynasty very panicked.
Song Huizong, who only knew the song and night dance all day long, drunk and dreamed of death, was shocked, and urgently summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures. Just when Song Huizong was at a loss and scolded him for having no virtuous ministers and loyal ministers around him, a man named Hou Meng wrote and said: "Song Jiang with 36 people, rampant in Heshuo and Jingdong, tens of thousands of officials and soldiers, and no one dared to resist, which shows that he must have extraordinary intelligence, it is better to pardon and surrender, let him lead his troops to fight against Fang La to atone for his mistakes, and maybe he can also pacify the rebellion in the southeast." Looking at the twists and turns, Song Huizong agreed with the suggestion very much, and praised it repeatedly: "(Hou) Meng does not forget the king outside the residence, and the loyal ministers are also" ("History of the Song Dynasty", volume 351, "Hou Meng's Biography").
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty immediately issued an edict appointing Hou Meng as the prefect of Dongping Prefecture and was responsible for recruiting Song Jiang. Hou Meng was sixty-eight years old at this time, and when he was about to go to his post with great ambition, he suddenly fell ill and died, and the plan to surrender was not realized.
In the second year of Xuanhe, Song Jiang launched an offensive to the south, although the number of righteous troops was small, but it was like a steel knife, which made the Northern Song Dynasty frightened and changed, and urgently ordered the army to suppress. The rebel army entered Yizhou, and Jiang Yuan, the governor of Yizhou, was in strict formation, and the two sides launched a fierce battle. The rebel army was finally outnumbered and defeated by Jiang Yuan. At the beginning of the third year of Xuanhe, Song Jiang led the rebel army into the Jiangsu region, encountered the army led by Wang Shixin, the lieutenant of Shuyang County, was blocked, and retreated in defeat. In February, the Songjiang rebel army entered the Huaiyang Army (present-day Pizhou, Jiangsu), and the Northern Song Dynasty government urgently ordered Zhang Shu, the governor of Haizhou, to go to surrender at night. In the battles in which the rebel army was transferred to various places, Song Jiang gave full play to his intelligence and military talents, commanded with determination, and his tactics were flexible and changeable; At the same time, Song Jiang was also very brave in battle, taking the lead, taking the lead in rushing and killing, and playing a majestic style, so that some court officials had to admit that he was brave and strategic. Therefore, when Hou Meng died, Song Huizong immediately issued an edict to Zhang Shuye, who had just been appointed as the governor of Haizhou by Huiyou Pavilion, and ordered him to try to recruit Song Jiang and others.
When Uncle Zhang arrived in Haizhou at night, the rebel army was preparing to attack the city. Song Jiang and others carefully analyzed the characteristics of Haizhou and the situation of the city's defense, and decided to break through from the sea. However, after receiving the edict of "Zhao'an" Song Jiang, Zhang Shuye made careful planning. He first posted the list text: "There is a naked person who is a country, does not avoid the fierce front, and those who take Song Jiang will be rewarded with thousands of dollars, and they will be bonus; Those who get Li Jinxi will be rewarded with millions of yuan, and double bonuses: Guan Sheng, Hu Yanxuan, Chai Jin, Wu Song, Zhang Qing, etc., will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan, and the bonus will be awarded; Those who won Dong Ping and Li Jin will be rewarded with 50,000 yuan, which is poor. At the same time, Zhang Shuye sent spies to reconnoiter the situation of the rebel army, and when he learned that the rebel army broke through from the sea, he hurriedly recruited more than 1,000 death squads and set up an ambush in the nearby city. He also sent a small group of soldiers to the seashore to lure the battle, and at the same time ambushed the elite soldiers on the seashore. After the battle between the two sides, Zhang Shuye lured the rebels to leave the ship and fight ashore, and the ambush soldiers took the opportunity to burn the rebels' ships. Faced with several times the number of officers and soldiers of his own, Song Jiang fell into a dilemma, although Song Jiang led his troops to fight bravely and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, but in the face of heavy encirclement, the ship was on fire, and the retreat route was broken, so he surrendered to Zhang Shuye and accepted Zhao'an.
After Song Jiang accepted the "Zhao'an", the Northern Song Dynasty court granted official positions to the generals of the rebel army. "Xuanhe's Legacy" contains: "Song Jiang and the thirty-six people returned to the Song Dynasty, each of them was punished by the martial arts doctor, and they lived in various roads to inspect and make them. Li Ruoshui, an official of the Northern Song Dynasty, was extremely hostile to the peasant rebels and opposed "Zhao'an", but he witnessed Song Jiang's "Zhao'an" situation, so he wrote a poem "Catching Thieves and Occasional Success" with a complicated feeling: "Last year, Song Jiang started in Shandong, and the city was invaded during the day. The murders have been cut and the mattresses have been cut, and the nine times are miserable. The big book and yellow paper came at a gallop, and thirty-six people worshiped the lord together. The fat pawn was arrogant, and the ladies were still stunned. ”
Later facts proved that Song Jiang surrendered not out of his original intention, but to preserve his strength. So when the time came, Song Jiang raised the banner of righteousness again. But this uprising soon failed, and in the fourth year of Xuanhe, the Song Jiang uprising was suppressed by Song Jiang, and Song Jiang and others were brutally killed.
