Although Chai Jin was righteous and loose, except for Song Jiang, he did not look down on Liangshan's group of good men at all, and more love and righteousness only stemmed from the grace of saving his life.
It is reasonable to say that Chai Jin is more qualified than Song Jiang to be the boss of Liangshan Po.
Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was his ancestor, and he thought that Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, was still a subordinate of others. Later, Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutinied, and the little emperor of the Chai family was also interested and was forced to take the initiative to give up Jiangshan. Zhao Kuangyin was more generous and was particularly kind to the descendants of the Chai family, giving them good land and beautiful houses, gold and silver jewelry, so that they could live a graceful and luxurious life. Chai Jin is a Miao descendant of Chai Rong, who is rooted in Miao Hong.
With the Danshu iron coupon in his hand, he could not be restricted by the laws of the Song Dynasty on his own manor, which was an incomparable honor.
Chai Jin's ancestor was Chai Rong, who established the last dynasty in the five dynasties, Hou Zhou, and was a very accomplished emperor. Unfortunately, his life was short, and he died in his thirties. Zhao Kuangyin was his brother-in-law and was then the commander of the Forbidden Army. Chai Rong's son Chai Zongxun was only seven years old, and he did not do anything more. So Zhao Kuangyin launched the "Chen Qiaoyi Mutiny" and became the emperor to establish the Song Dynasty, and his throne was taken from the Chai family, and he gave the Chai family a death-free iron coupon, that is, a Danshu iron coupon, which was passed down from generation to generation, so it passed to Chai Jin.
Liangshan, the holy land that countless good men in the rivers and lakes yearn for, in the eyes of Chai Daguan, is just a "person in a small village".
Chai Jin looked down on the good man of Liangshan. The so-called good men of Liangshan are actually a group of people who cannot be mixed in normal society, and they are forced to be helpless, so they have to go to Liangshan and be the so-called good men.
But those who can still mix in normal society are not willing to go to Liangshan to be bandits at all. Just like Lin Chong Zhu Tong, these people would rather go to prison than go to Liangshan. There is still hope for a number of prisons, sooner or later can go out, sooner or later can return to normal society. But once you go to Liangshan, you can only be a robber for a lifetime, and you can't go back to normal society in this lifetime.
Chai Jin, a man with both money and social status, was a transcendent figure and a descendant of the former emperor. That is to say, if it were not for the end of the Later Zhou, Chai Jin might be the emperor now! The worst is also a prince or a prince or something. Such a person, you say he wants to be a robber, wants to call a group of robbers brothers and brothers, is it possible?
Is Chai Jin unable to be the boss just because he despises the so-called good guys? Not only for this reason, but more because of the strategy of Zhao'an.
Soon after the Song River went to Liangshan, it can also be said that before liangshan, a strategy for Liangshan was already planned. All the actions of the cottage, the military deployment, must be subordinated to this set goal, and the selection of the owner of the village must also take into account whether the recruitment plan can be smoothly implemented. The identity of the leader of the cottage represents the direction and goal of Liangshan's future development, and will also affect the intuitive view of the whole Liangshan.
The reason why he deliberately elected a court general like Hu Yanzhuo, or a landlord class like Lu Junyi as the leader, was to choose a figure who could be accepted by the imperial court as a cottage representative, so as to ensure the victory of the Zhao'an grand plan. If Chai Jin was the leader of Liangshan, even if he was the nominal leader, it would undermine the implementation of the zhao'an plan.
Then, on the other hand, if Liangshan borrowed the name of chai into the name of the former imperial family, in the name of Kuangfu Zhou, and was determined to compete with the Great Song Dynasty, would there be any certainty of victory in the end?
First of all, from the perspective of the balance of forces, the two are ultimately very different in military strength, and there is no possibility of overthrowing the Song Dynasty regime in the Liangshan army. The composition of the personnel within Liangshan also did not allow rebellion. Just to say that Chai Jin, the sign of the emperor, can play a great role in political appeal for Liangshan?
However, even if he is not the boss, Chai Jin's name of Qingshi will not be spurned because of anti-thief.
Chai Jin, although he is a rich man with a lot of money, he does not spend everywhere like other rich people, but makes friends with the world.
When Song Jiang fled, there were many places to choose from, Hua Rong was a small bureaucrat, Kong Ming and Kong Liang were big landlords, the former was Song Jiang's brother, the latter was Song Jiang's apprentice, they all had an extraordinary relationship with Song Jiang, but Song Jiang neither put the first choice for fleeing in Hua Rong, nor did he put the first choice for fleeing in Kongjiazhuang.
The first choice to defect was Chai Jin, a handsome Man from Cangzhou, whom he had never met. After Chai Jin saw Song Jiang, he learned that Song Jiang had finally killed a beautiful woman who had no power to tie the chicken, and he was so excited that he patted his chest and told Song Jiang: Dude, you are home when you come to me.
