For the 108 ranking, many people have their own views, such as many people think that Xie Zhen Xie Bao's ranking is too high, while Sun Li is low. Of course, I personally always believe that the ranking of Tianding (author's determination) has nothing to do with the so-called "Song Jiang suppression of the Dengzhou faction". On the whole, the Earth Star is inferior to the Celestial Star, whether it is martial arts, fame or other aspects. However, this does not affect the role of the Terrestrial Stars. Plus, they may end up better than the Celestial Star.
For example, Zhu Wu, Fan Rui, Pei Xuan, Le He, Gu Dajie and others, although they are all earth stars and rank very low, their endings are perfect, much better than Song Jiang and Lu Junyi.
In addition to these people, there is also a ground star, who has a lot of skills, but after going to Liangshan, he didn't play much, and he was a bit condescending. After the conquest of Fangla, he survived, and also saw through the officialdom and the imperial court at that time, and did not accept the court's reward, and the ending was perfect. This person is Jiang Jing, ranked 53rd in Liangshan, and the star of ShangyingDi.
Jiang Jing is one of the four masters of the Yellow Gate, the reason why the four people of Huangmen Mountain are four masters, because Ou Peng is skilled in archery and good in martial arts, Ma Lin is good at making double swords, Tao Zongwang makes a shovel, which can build a city and build a wall, and Jiang Jing is a divine operator and good at calculation. The four of them have their own strengths, and they are all special talents needed by Liangshan, so they are called this.
It is precisely because he is good at calculation, so jiang Jing has been in charge of this piece since he went to Liangshan.
As we all know, Liangshan is mainly responsible for the calculation of money and grain, mainly Chai Jin and Li Ying, of course, Chai Jin is only a pseudonym, and Li Ying is the real person in charge. However, Li should be equivalent to the general manager, responsible for overall planning and other aspects, while Jiang Jing is responsible for calculations, expenses and other details.
However, Jiang Jing's skill is definitely not only calculation, he also has one skill, that is, platooning and deploying troops.
Jiang Jing was originally a literati, and he passed the examination, but he did not pass the examination later. To this end, he abandoned the study of literature and martial arts, not only can "stab the gun and make the stick", but also has quite a strategy, can "line up troops and deploy troops".
What about Jiang Jing's martial arts? In the Water Margin of the Hundred and Twenty Times, Jiang Jing did not show personal martial arts. However, in the Jianben Water Margin, Jiang Jing fought with the general Zhu Wenjing under Tian Hu in Hebei for dozens of rounds, which shows that his martial arts are still OK, at least a second-rate one, rather than "not being useful in the middle".
What about Jiang Jing's platooning skills? This is not expressed in the book, but from Jiang Jing's hymns, we can get a glimpse of one or two.
Jiang Jing's hymns are: Young hate Mao Cone defeat, Long Congtao searches for refinement, such as god algorithm good soldiers, literary and martial all-rounder Jiang Jing. From the "Tao Strategy Search" and "Good Soldier" in this poem, it can be found that Jiang Jing has two brushes, and he is a military division type figure. It's just that maybe because he is better at calculations, he doesn't have the opportunity to use his military ability, after all, he has been a cashier after going up the mountain.
Xiao Rang, Yan Qing and others also had the ability to line up troops. Xiao Rang once laid down an empty city plan and used 10,000 old and weak soldiers to defeat the 30,000 troops of Ni Wei and Ji Sansi under Wang Qing' command; Yan Qing once used 500 soldiers to cut wood and build bridges, pick up Lu Junyi, and save Lu Junyi and 5,000 soldiers.
Although Jiang Jing did not exert himself, his ability to arrange troops should not be worse than that of Xiao Rang and Yan Qing. After all, Xiao Rang and Yan Qing's hymns did not say that they were "good at marching.".
By the way, Jiang Jing later resigned from his official post and returned to his hometown to serve the people not long after he listened to Xiao Jiasui, a descendant of the Southern Dynasty Liang imperial family, and later accepted the imperial court's reward.
At that time, the people who listened to Xiao Jiasui's high theory were Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Li Jun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Dai Zong, Chai Jin, Fan Rui, Zhu Wu and others, and these people also died well later.
