Song Jiang, who was well known to everyone, was forced to go to Liangshan helplessly, and finally took some brothers to submit to the imperial court. Some people say that Song Jiang participated in Zhao'an and had his own selfish intentions, because he wanted to realize his desire to become a high official through Zhao'an, and he did not want to be the leader of a group of alone. After zhao'an, it was also the time when the Liao soldiers attacked, and Song Jiang led his brothers to break through the Liao, recovered many lost lands for the Song Dynasty, and made many military achievements. Song Jiang was eventually promoted to pacification envoy by virtue of his military exploits. Some people will wonder, what did Song Jiang get?
Let's first understand the person who understands Song Jiang, before being forced to go to Liangshan, Song Jiang has three titles. This first was originally the Oshi of Yuncheng County, and because he looked black, he was called Black Song Jiang. The second and third are Takayoshi Kurosaburō and Timely Rain. These three points do not come from nowhere, but reflect a form of expression of Song Jiang as a person.
Although Song Jiang is not a good leader, he is definitely a good son, Song Jiang is a very filial piety, and everyone is particularly impressed by "if you die for your father, you will die without complaint". The ancients attached great importance to the point of filial piety, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, they entered the imperial court as officials through filial piety, and Song Jiang was a very filial piety. Timely rain means that this Song Jiang is still quite enthusiastic, and what people are powerful is that they can solve the urgent need and save people from water and fire. Therefore, combining the above advantages, Song Jiang has a very good image in the jianghu, and also paves the way for him to sit on the position of deputy leader after being forced to Liangshan, after Chao Gai was shot, Song Jiang successfully sat in the position of the leader of Liangshan, and the people at the bottom also looked at him for this point, and many people were willing to follow him.
After zhao'an, the imperial court threw a sentence to Song Jiang: After the brothers established their merits, Song Jiang began to lead the brothers to discuss the rewards, which showed that Song Jiang's heart was very high at that time, he was not willing to be an ordinary leader, he only wanted to contribute to the country all his life. However, the war was very cruel, Song Jiang lost many brothers, and finally only 20 were left, the imperial court was very happy to see this, on the one hand, there was no need to worry about Song Jiang and other waves of forces, and the second aspect was to borrow Song Jiang's hand and remove the nail in the eye. After the dust settled, Song Jiang also sat in the position of pacification envoy because of his military achievements.
How big an official is to appease the envoy, and it is not a little higher to appease the position of the abbot than the one who is a prisoner. What is the Oshi Division, the Oshi Division is just sorting out the case file, it is a very small official, it can be said that it is a small official with no right and status, and it is inconspicuous at all. Appeasement is different, just look at the name, it is very imposing, very image.
During the Song Dynasty, in order to strengthen the central imperial power and rule over the localities, the strategy of dividing the way was adopted. First the power was concentrated in the central government, and then at the local level, the relevant departments adopted a separate approach, with different officials, and the pacifying one position was a special post for the purpose of solving disasters and injuries and the use of troops, and over time, it gradually became a specialized personnel responsible for public security in the army, and had to arrange and manage all matters in the army to ensure the normal operation of the army.
Song Jiang's appeasement envoy was a military commander along the way, not only managing the affairs of the army, but also being highly respected in the army. Song Jiang not only got an official position, but also won a reputation, so it is also very good to say that Song Jiang went from a small county to a pacifying envoy. It was only a bunch of brothers who faithfully followed him, and the good men of Liangshan ended up with only a few people left. Song Jiang was bent on fighting for the imperial court, but in the end he died at the hands of a treacherous villain, which was really sad.
