The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs of Liangshan can be found in the "History of Song", and the "Thirty-Six Praises of Song Jiang" by Gong Kai of the Song Dynasty also commented on themselves and their nicknames.
The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs of Liangshan are basically true in history, and the Seventy-Two Hells are not necessarily completely fictional, because there are still many legends about Bai Sheng, Shi Qian, Zhang Qing, and Sun Erniang in the local area - sometimes the legends are more reliable than the main history.
In fact, the Thirty-six Heavenly Gangs of Liangshan were the thirty-six larger leaders of the Liangshan Army, and it was normal for them to have some deputy generals, and if the Liangshan Army had only thirty-six bandits and no deputies and minions, it would be impossible to "run rampant in Qi Wei, with tens of thousands of officers and troops, and no one who dared to resist." ”
The thirty-six days of Liangshan Gang Qingshi left their names, and the seventy-two places spread the word of mouth, during which the authenticity could not be distinguished, but after we carefully looked at the three famous generals in the thirty-six days of Gang, it was easy to find a problem: after these three famous generals, the identities were all fake--if the authentic descendants of the three famous generals learned that there were three Liangshan thieves who pretended to recognize their ancestors, they would definitely fight the lawsuit to the Golden Ruan Hall.
From the thirty-six days of Gang from the front to the back, in the fifth position, we found the first counterfeit and shoddy product: the righteous warrior Wu'an Wang Concubine sent his descendants to the great knife Guan Sheng.
Guan Yu is a martial saint is not false, but in the Song Dynasty, he is really not, the Song Dynasty Martial Temple enshrines Jiang Shang Jiang Ziya, under which are Yasheng Zhang Liang and Bai Qi, Han Xin Zhuge Liang and other martial temple ten zhe, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Zhou Yu ping, belongs to the "Seventy-two Generals of the Martial Temple", Wu Sheng, Ya Sheng, Ten Zhe have seated statues, seventy-two will be hanging or painted on the wall portraits.
The term "Guan Sheng Emperor Jun" first appeared in the ming Dynasty Zhu Yijun period, the Song Dynasty Guan Yu was the Righteous Courage Wu'an King, the Yuan Dynasty's Guan Yu was "The Righteous Courage Wu'an Yingji King Chongning Protector True King", the True King and the Emperor Jun, there is still a difference in grade.
Guan Yu of the Song Dynasty was not a martial saint, and whether Guan Yu had descendants, that was also a question: "Pang Dezihui (Pang Hui), Sui Zhong (Hui), Deng (Ai) cut Shu, Shu broke, and destroyed the Guan family." ”
Guan Sheng's style is also very different from Guan Yu's: Guan Yu had no choice but to surrender Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was rewarded with a lot of rewards, but Guan Yu still found an opportunity to escape from Cao Camp to follow Liu Bei, and after Guan Sheng surrendered to Liangshan, he had been following Song Jiang to plunder, and also met with his original comrades-in-arms Sword Soldiers - he had a great opportunity to lead his men and horses back to the ranks of the Song army.
If Guan Yu knew that someone was pretending to be his descendant, and he was still bent on being a thief, he was still angry enough to swing the big knife upside down?
Whether Guan Sheng is a descendant of the Guan Yu Sect, just like whether Liu Bei is Liu Xie's "uncle", cannot withstand the examination of historical materials, and also cannot withstand the examination, there is also a "famous general of Hedong Hu Yanzan Sect descendants" double whip Hu Yanzhuo.
Hu Yanzan was a famous general of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and was also a descendant of the Northern Song Dynasty general Menjia and the Hu Yanzan family, who was also active in the court during the Xuanhe years, the most famous of which was Hu Yanqing, the commander of the Ping Navy who was good at foreign languages, and Hu Yanqing was recorded in the Chronicle of the Imperial Song Dynasty, the Compilation of the Northern League of the Three Dynasties, the Chronicle of the Year Since Jianyan, the Continuation of the Zizhi Tongjian and the Continuation of the Zizhi Tongjian.
Hu Yanqing had been busy engaging in diplomacy with the Jin Dynasty, and he was very trusted by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty: when the Song Dynasty wanted to unite with Jin to destroy the Liao, the contact person was Hu Yanqing.
Hu Yanqing is a descendant of the Hu Yan Zan Sect, then Hu YanZhuo cannot be a descendant of the Hu Yan Zan Sect - readers from the family all know that the so-called descendants of the Hu Yan Sect have the right to keep the family tree, and only the lineage of the eldest son of the generation is counted as the Yuan Sect, and the rest are even "side branches" and "Shu out".
Hu Yanzan and Hu Yanqing were contemporaries, but they were not brothers and sons, and they probably did not know each other at all, so Hu Yanzhuo's identity was also fake—in terms of ingratitude, Hu Yanzhuo could rank in the top five among the good men of Liangshan: he was sorry for the Song Huizong Zhao Who gave him the snow crow, and he was sorry for gao Li, the taiwei who formed the iron armor chain horse for him, and even more sorry for the Murong prefect who took him in.
If Hu Yanqing knew that there was such an ungrateful guy pretending to be his brother-in-law, he would definitely run back from Jinguo to play with him.
The Northern Song Dynasty passed down the Ninth Emperor, enjoying the country in 167 years, and by the time of Emperor Xuanhe of the Song Dynasty, it had become thinner and thinner, but for more than a hundred years, the genealogy of the founding fathers was still very clear, so the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi claimed to be the "grandson of the Fifth Marquis Yang Linggong", and it was easy to expose the lie: the Yang family general Ding Buwang, but there were still descendants of the Concubine lineage during the Xuanhe years, the most famous of which were the grandson of Yang Zongmin, the governor of Yongxing Junlu, the son of Yang Zhen of Jianning Zhizhai in Linzhou, and the prince of Tong'an County, Yang Yizhong (later renamed Yang Cunzhong).
Yang Zongmin and Yang Yanzhao's son Yang Wenguang are uncles and brothers (Yang Zongbao is fictitious), so we can understand that Yang Cunzhong's grandfather is Yang Ye's grandson, and in any case, yang Zhi, the blue-faced beast, cannot be Yang Cunzhong's grandfather, and of course, it cannot be the "grandson of the fifth marquis Yang Linggong".
Let's take ten thousand steps back, Yang Zhi's "sun" is "Xuan Sun", his name is not correct, the family tree of the Golden Dagger LingGong Yang Ye is very clear: the official to Yunzhou Observation Envoy, Dai Zhou Assassin History and Three Jiao Garrison Soldiers and Horses Deployment (posthumously given to Tai Wei, Zhongshu Ling, Datong Junjie) Yang Yesheng's eldest son Yang Yanzhao (legendary Liu Lang, but not Lao Liu), Baozhou Defense Envoy, Gaoyang Guan's deputy capital Yang Yanzhao Yang Wenguang, Dingzhou Road Deputy Governor, Guard Infantry Du Yu Waiting Yang Wenguang died in November of the seventh year of Xining (1074).
Yang Wenguang once served as the capital of the guards and infantry, yu hou, ranked in the front nine marshals of the palace (the front division of the palace, the guards of the pro-army Ma Jun, and the guards of the pro-army infantry each had a command envoy, a deputy commander of the capital, and a person of yu waiting, collectively known as the nine marshals of the palace), and was a palace marshal of the same rank as Gao Qi, if Yang Zhi was really the grandson of Yang Linggong, there was no need to look at Gao Ling's face at all.
Looking closely, we found that the character of these three "famous generals" all had some problems: the great knife Guan Sheng did not learn from his "ancestors" to ride a thousand miles, but instead fell drunk and fell on his horse and injured himself; Hu Yanzhao betrayed jun en and betrayed his friends, only to save his official position and life; Yang Zhi, a blue-faced beast who was the leader of Erlong Mountain with Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, did not have the backbone as we thought.
Yang Zhi, a blue-faced beast who looked more heroic among the three, also did a lot of unhymanlike things: escorting Huashi Gang overturned the ship, he did not consider that Huashi Gang's disaster to the country and the people overturned the ship was retribution, but instead absconded in fear of crime, and after the amnesty under the world, he "collected a load of money and goods, waited to return to Tokyo, went to the Privy Council to use, and then ignored his own activities." ”
The most able to see the true color of the claws and teeth of the blue-faced beast Yang Zhiying is the way to escort the birth anniversary: "Yang Zhi rushed to urge, if he stopped, he would scold lightly, and if he was heavy, the rattan would be beaten, forcing him to do it." ”
Not long ago, Yang Zhi, who was still a "thief with an army," as soon as he was appreciated by the corrupt official Liang Zhongshu, he immediately changed his arrogant face -- if he had seen these eleven "porters (junjian)" half a year ago, he would have nodded his head and waist.
Whether the great knife Guan Sheng, the double whip Hu Yanzhuo and the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi have pretended to recognize the ancestors, this author does not count, the readers all have a scale in their hearts. However, after seeing what these three "generals after the door" did, the author suddenly wanted to change a common saying: Every time the righteousness slaughters more dogs, the door will be frequently out of the way.
The flower monk Lu Zhishen did not say that he was a nobleman in Shandong (Luguo) and was not related to Lu Ban Lu Supan; the practitioner Wu Song did not take wu ding, the king of the Shang, as his ancestor, nor did he care that Wu Zetian was called his grandmother; the nine-striped dragon Shi Jin naturally did not want to have anything to do with Shi Siming - Shi Siming was a Turk.
Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Shi Jin can be called the three heroes of Liangshan, that is, we often say that Liangshan is a good man of two and a half, and readers can compare these three people with Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, and Yang Zhi to see what is the difference between the children of ordinary families and those behind the door.
Climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix is originally a villainous act, in the author's opinion, since it has fallen into the grass, don't mention your ancestor Glory: Whether your father is Li Gang or Zhao Gang, after doing bad things, it is better to keep a low profile...
