Gongzi reads Water Margin No. 177
"Wu Song, the first perfect person in the Water Margin", "Wu Song is the first good man in the Water Margin", this is a statement that can often be seen in the comment area.
Wu Song is a character image with more fans in "Water Margin", and his character of being happy to take revenge and dare to love and hate has won the love of many readers. We are always used to calling him "hero" and "good man", but reading the original book carefully, Wu Song may not be a hero.
This is not difficult to see from the three things he did.
In the eyes of many people, Wu Song drunkenly beating Jiang Men Shen is a righteous act, because Wu Song is to help his friend Shi En retake the forcibly occupied Happy Forest, which is commendable.
However, from the original work, the matter of Wu Song drunkenly beating Jiang Menshen was not simple. At this time, Wu Song had just been assigned to the Mengzhou prison camp, and according to the custom at that time, the prisoners who had just been assigned were beaten 100 times.
If these 100 killing rods were really hit, even the iron man would not be able to survive. Of course, this is not inflexible, if you put some silver up and down, this killing stick will be temporarily exempted.
Wu Song prefers to be a good man and is unwilling to bribe the management camp and send a transfer. Just when Wu Song was about to be beaten, a young man came forward, and he muttered a few words in Guan Ying's ear, and Guan Ying immediately changed his attitude and helped Wu Song avoid killing the stick.
Since then, Wu Song has enjoyed VIP treatment in prison, living in a single room, drinking and meat every day, bathing, and most importantly, not having to work hard.
Wu Song had always wondered who was secretly taking care of him, and his heart was very suffocated, and finally one day Wu Song couldn't stand it, and under his persecution, the servant who took care of him called the golden eye Biao Shien.
After Shi En and Wu Song met, under Wu Song's repeated questioning, he finally told the truth. It turned out that Shi En ran a wine and meat shop in the happy forest outside Mengzhou City, with an income of two or three hundred taels a month. However, this money-making business has recently been targeted by the foreign Jiang Men God, who forcibly occupied this place with his high martial arts skills.
The reason why Shi En took care of Wu Song was that he wanted Wu Song to help him out and retake the Happy Forest.
What business does Shien do in the Happy Forest? There were two items, one was to forcibly sell the wine and meat in their own shops to shops and gambling houses in the Happy Forest, and the other was to collect protection fees from shops and prostitutes in the past.
With such an explanation, Shi En's identity could not be clearer, he is the underworld godfather of Mengzhou City, holding the identity of the old father's warden and taking the prisoners to do evil.
Doesn't Wu Song know Shi En's true identity?
Obviously, Wu Song had been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and Shi En's words were also very obvious, and Wu Song naturally knew what kind of person Shi En was.
Therefore, Wu Song helped Shi En fight the Jiang Men God, that is, eating black in black. Why did Wu Song do it?
There are two reasons, one of which is that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and it is no exaggeration to say that Shi En's father and son determine Wu Song's life and death. With the care of Shi En's father and son, Wu Song can live a very moist life. But Wu Song must show his due value, that is, to be a thug of grace.
Another point is that the Shi En father and son poured Wu Song with ecstasy soup. Shi En's father once said to Wu Song:
"The righteous are so heroic, who does not admire! The foolish man originally did some business in the happy forest, not for greed for money and profits, but for the spectacular Mengzhou, adding to the haojie atmosphere. Unexpectedly, he was now relied on by the Jiang Men God to be powerful and powerful, and openly seized this place, not a righteous hero, unable to avenge snow and hate. The righteous man did not abandon the foolish man, and drank this cup with full drink, and was worshipped by the foolish man four times, and worshipped as the eldest brother, in order to show respect. ”
Never heard of brothels and casinos making a place spectacular and adding to the atmosphere. The old official camp made Wu Song lame one by one, making Wu Song willingly serve the father and son of Shi En.
Wu Song is a good-looking person, and it is even more ethereal to be touted like this.
Therefore, he helped Shi En defeat the Jiang Men God and retake the Happy Forest. After defeating Jiang Menshen, Wu Song gave an impassioned speech in the Happy Forest:
You all guessed that I was my master, and I had no interference with him. I have never only wanted to fight such immoral people in the world! If I see a rough road, if I draw my sword to help, I will die without fear!"
Although Wu Song said it generously, it could not change the history of his hand-in-hand for the black boss.
Walk Centipede Ridge at night
Walking Centipede Ridge at night is also a plot that readers like to relish.
Some people say that Wu Song saw a Daoist laughing with a woman in the grave in the middle of the night in Centipede Ridge, so he concluded that he was not a good person, so he killed Wang Daoren and rescued women.
But if you read the original book carefully, you will find that this matter is not as simple as imagined.
Wu Song also walked the Centipede Ridge, and heard laughter in the distance, and when he walked in, he found that it was a Taoist monk who was holding a woman by the window watching the moon laughing. Wu Song immediately became angry when he saw this, "This is a monk in the mountain forest, but he is doing such a thing!" ”
He pulled out his sword and looked at it in the moonlight, "But the knife is good, and it has not been in my hands, and I have tested this Mr. Bird!" ”。
At this time, Wu Song's mind was to kill Lao Dao to test whether the ring knife he had just arrived at was sharp.
Is it illegal for a Taoist priest to put his arm around a woman and laugh? I am afraid that in the era when Wu Song lived, Taoism was still relatively prosperous, especially Zhengyi. That Zhang Tianshi of the Dragon tiger mountain was a Daoist monk of Zhengyi, and Zhengyi could get married. Therefore, it is not contrary to the taoist priest and the woman to appear at the same time.
Wu Song went to knock on the door with a knife dangling from his wrist, and the gentleman closed the window, and Wu Song smashed the door with a stone.
This three times in the middle of the night, a touto smashed the door outside, and he did not speak, which was also more frightening.
A little boy opened the door, but said, "Who are you?" How dare you do three times in the middle of the night, make a fuss, knock on the door and do something? ”
Wu Song did not answer, and he picked up the sword and hacked DaoTong to death. "First put this bird path child sacrifice knife!" , Wu Song this time, or for the sake of sacrificial sword.
Seeing that his Dao Tong had been killed, Lao Dao took out his double sword to fight Wu Song, and as a result, he was also killed by Wu Song. Wu Song's wish to test the knife came true, and only then did he remember to ask the woman what was going on.
It can be seen that Wu Song did not kill Wang Daoren in order to eliminate harm for the people and eliminate violence and peace. Instead, the nameless fire started and killed.
The little DaoTong who was killed by him was even more of a bitter man, who did not do anything bad, but was confused by Wu Song's sacrificial knife.
In fact, Wu Song's walking on Centipede Ridge at night is more like a quarrel.
Drunken punches bright
Wu Song likes to drink, and the amount of alcohol is very large. But the wine is not good, and I always like to make trouble after drinking.
In his hometown of Qinghe County, he beat people after drinking, no less than his brother Wu Da; in Chai Jin,around, he clashed with the dealer after drinking, causing Chai Jin to gradually alienate him.
One day after leaving Centipede Ridge, Wu Song came to a hotel and prepared to drink. Unfortunately, this hotel only has some vegetarian dishes, not any meat. Wu Song was not happy with meat, and this wine was not very satisfactory.
Wu Song repeatedly asked the restaurant if there was any meat, and the restaurant kept saying no.
At this moment, several guests came from the adjacent table. As soon as they sat down, the owner brought an urn of wine, and the moment the jar was opened, the aroma of wine immediately filled the entire hotel. Subsequently, the owner brought a pair of cooked chickens and a plate of refined meat.
Wu Song looked at the cooked dish in front of him, and then looked at the wine and meat opposite, and he didn't breathe. So he had a seizure on the spot and blamed the owner for not giving him food.
The owner explained that the wine and meat were prepared by the man, but it was just a place to borrow the hotel to eat wine. Wu Song refused to listen to the explanation, shouting "Fart, fart!" ”
The owner of the shop argued a few more words, and Wu Song immediately jumped up and slapped the shop owner, hitting the shop owner's face to swollen high.
After the big man at the next table said a few words for the owner of the shop, he also fought with Wu Song. The Great Han was not Wu Song's opponent, and was beaten twenty or thirty times by Wu Song and thrown into the stream.
After driving the crowd away, Takematsu began to drink wine and eat meat alone.
Just because he didn't drink good wine and eat meat, Wu Song clashed with the hotel. This is really not a good man's behavior, and this kind of bullying is really disgraceful.
Judging from these three things, Wu Song is indeed not a hero, not a good man who acts heroically and righteously.
