When we read "Water Margin", there will always be such an illusion, that is, Song Jiang, a person with very strong martial arts, basically belongs to the kind of weak scholar who has no power to bind the chicken, if it were not for a bunch of brothers surrounded and covered all day, anyone could go up and step on him.
However, when we carefully read the description of Song Jiang in the book, it is not difficult to find that when Song Jiang first appeared, the introduction to him in the book was not described in this way.
This Song Jiang was a prisoner in Yuncheng County, he was proficient in sword and pen, skilled in the way of officials, and also loved to learn guns and sticks, and learned a lot of martial arts.
Although it is not explained in the book about Song Jiang's martial arts, it was not long after Song Jiang xin accepted Yan Po Xie, and gradually because he was busy practicing guns and sticks all day, he coldly ignored Yan Po Xi.
From the fact that practice makes perfect, it can be inferred that Song Jiang's martial arts should not be too bad.
It turned out that Song Jiang was a good man, who only loved to learn to make guns and sticks, and was not very important in female color.
Later, when Song Jiang introduced the two brothers Kong Ming and Kong Liang to Wu Song, he introduced it like this:
"Because he is good at practicing guns, I ordered him to be a master."
According to normal logic, being able to be someone else's master, in terms of guns and sticks, to give others a point or two, its own martial arts, should not be too bad.
So what about Song Jiang's martial arts? Throughout the "Water Margin", its implementation of the old man, almost to give us the mystery to break, but it is almost a little bit.
While in Jieyang Town, Song Jiang rewarded a teacher who made a gun, but was mercilessly insulted by Mu Chun, a local bully.
At that time, Song Jiang did show some pride, letting go of the shelf and scolding each other, which made Mu Chun angry, and then, the two sides were ready to go head-to-head.
Mu Chun punched first, Song Jiang dexterously flashed and easily dodged, from this action, Song Jiang's martial arts should actually be quite good.
The big man raised his fists and punched him in the face. Song Jiang dodged. The big man rushed in another step, but Song Jiang was about to put it right with him, only to see the godhead of the stick, rushing from behind the person, one hand grabbing the big man's turban, the other hand holding the waist crotch, looking at the big man's ribs only a pocket, staggering, and overturning on the ground.
Seeing that Song Jiang was about to shoot, he was cut off by others, and there was no chance to shoot, and this was also Song Jiang's last appearance, and he showed a very just appearance.
The performance behind, at first glance, makes people have some doubts, whether Old Master Shi is suffering from amnesia, writing and writing, forgetting his own Song Jiang, in fact, once had martial arts.
Because in the "Water Margin" in the back, Song Jiang's martial arts seem to have suddenly disappeared.
At the head of the Xunyang River, Song Jiang and the tolerances mistakenly boarded the thief ship of zhang Heng, the "boat fire", and traveled to the heart of the river, Zhang Heng asked Song Jiang and the two gongren to choose whether to eat "plate knife noodles" or "wontons".
Song Jiang didn't look like a kung fu master at all, constantly begging for forgiveness.
Song Jiang pleaded again, "We will all take the gold, silver, money, clothing, and other items in our bags with you." Only spared three of my humanity! ”
The description of this exhilarating horse almost makes people forget that this Kurosaburō in front of him is a connoisseur who is accustomed to using guns and sticks, and can be regarded as a martial artist.
In the subsequent passage of the article, Song Jiang was dressed neatly and wanted to beat Zhu Jiazhuang, but he was chased all the way by Hu Sanniang, and was almost caught up and caught.
This humiliating operation made Song Jiang have no concept of martial arts, and since then it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
So why did Old Master Shi create such a contradictory character?
Later generations have done such a series of comparisons, after reading, we will also understand, people Shi Laozi, the article is not contradictory, but quite realistic.
What level of Song Jiang's martial arts is? More appropriately, it should fall under the category of martial arts enthusiasts.
Ancient martial arts, pay attention to a strength, Song Jiang face black body short, short stature this one disadvantage makes him learn kung fu road, very difficult.
Although the stupid bird flies first, Song Jiang practices guns during the day and sticks at night, but practicing and practicing well, after all, are still two different things, just like many of our students now, parents think he is not good at learning and beating him, but people cry and tell you, I really learned, I just can't learn!
Therefore, Song Jiang often likes to dance with guns and sticks, and his kung fu is very strong, which should be two different things.
Next, let's see That Song Jiang recognized Kong Ming and Kong Liang as apprentices, and they all said that famous teachers produce high disciples, so what about the skills of Kong Ming and Kong Liang?
One was under Wu Song's hands, and within three or two moves, he was knocked over, and the other was caught after twenty moves under Hu Yan's onslaught.
In this way, the lower limit of Song Jiang's force value should be able to pass twenty or thirty moves with Hu Yanzhuo, and the force value is on Liangshan, which is not too bad.
So why does Song Jiang appear behind him for a moment of fierceness, and a moment of encouragement?
This is actually very realistic, after all, see who fights whom, you can still fight to win Wu Song, there is only one.
When Song Jiang faced Mu Chun, a bare-handed ground snake, the two of them were bare-handed, and Song Jiang, who could walk with Hu Yanzhuo for dozens of rounds, was naturally not afraid of Mu Chun, who was stunned.
And in the middle of the river, Zhang Heng held a large plate knife in his hand, and he has always been very familiar with this business, all kinds of processes are very smooth, and the bare-handed Song Jiang is naturally invincible.
Therefore, subsequently, he showed a posture of encouragement, which is also very normal, after all, he can do martial arts and is not afraid of death, these two concepts are not absolutely linked.
Based on the above, when Mr. Shi described the fluctuating value of Song Jiang's armed forces, he really analyzed and described the Song Jiang in various periods according to the specific problems of the scene environment and the situation of the two sides.
