It is said that in history, Song Jiang did have his own people, and his uprising also had its own things, whether in the main history or from the end of the Water Margin, Song Jiang ended in tragedy after all, which can really be said to be loyal and loyal to defeat.
Song Jiang, who sent the nickname timely rain, was originally the Shandong Yuncheng County Escort Division, all day dancing ink, writing documents, is a humble knife pen official, when Chao Gai and other 7 Liangshan good Han Zhi zhi birth anniversary incident, was arrested by the government, song Jiang learned in advance, secretly helped Chao Gai and others to escape, and later Chao Gai also sent Liu Tang to send gold and letters to Song Jiang, did not expect to be seen by Yan Po, she wanted to threaten Song Jiang, was hacked to death by Song Jiang, so Song Jiang fled to Cangzhou, forced to fall into the grass, and went to Liangshan.
Looking at the growth of Liangshan, it is also due to Song Jiang's appeal and team organization ability, which is far beyond the reach of Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others, and it is precisely because of his influence that the good han of Liangshan will take the initiative to surrender to the imperial court in the case of successive victories, without song Jiang's prestige, the resistance to Zhao'an's surrender will be greatly increased.
Moreover, Song Jiang was full of the loyal and righteous thoughts of loyal ministers and filial pieties, and forcibly transformed 108 robbers into loyal subjects of the imperial court, and he rebelled and went up the mountain under the slogan of helping the rich and the poor, but in his heart he was concerned about the imperial court, hoping to recruit security, and being a slave and a, a veritable surrender faction.
In fact, Song Jiang's path toward Zhao'an was inevitable, and after seeing the official documents sent by Zhou Kongmu and knowing that Chao Gai and others had robbed the Birthday Gang, his reaction was: Chao Gai and the others did not want to do such a big thing and committed a major crime, this is the work of exterminating the Nine Tribes, although they were persecuted by people, they had to do it, but Yu Fadu could not spare it.
What do you mean? From the beginning of the first rebellion of the good Han of Liangshan, Song Jiang's ideological concepts were on the side of the imperial court, and he also proceeded from the so-called position of Fadu to oppose the rebellion of Chao Gai and others, after he killed Yan Poxi, he was forced to die in the jianghu, and later he was sentenced to be stabbed with a cage in Jiangzhou, and almost lost his life.
Chao Gai and others persuaded Song Jiang to stay in Liangshan, but Song Jiang flatly refused, saying: This is a matter of humility! Xiao Ke does not argue and obey, that is, he is against heavenly reason, disobeys his father's teachings, and has done disloyalty and filial piety in the world, although he is born of any benefit, his words and deeds are always expressing his position of safeguarding the feudal law and discipline and his strong idea of loyalty.
In order to surrender to the imperial court, Song Jiang can be said to have exhausted all means, for example, at the Chrysanthemum Conference, he used the word "Manjiang Hong" to advocate Zhao'an, which caused the crowd to be indignant, and Li Kui even kicked over the chair and scolded: Zhao'an, Zhao'an! There are also like Ruan Xiaoqimu who has no heavenly son for jade wine, Li Kui tearing up the zhaoshu and scolding Huizong, Wu Yong accusing Song Jiang of being too obsessed with Zhao'an, and so on, all of which show that the good man of Liangshan is against Zhao'an.
Therefore, the reason why the good men of Liangshan failed was not that they did not do well enough, but that Song Jiang, as the leader of the group, had a problem, and he did not do what a leader should do, because he was a complete capitulationist.
