There are nine times out of ten things that are not satisfactory in life, and many people often fantasize about if they were originally unsatisfactory in life. But where in the world are there so many ifs? Where is the chance to start all over again? What's more, if there is a chance to do it all over again, the ending will not necessarily become better than before.
If that's the case, then do we have to repeat it again if it was in the first place? Life is not a game, a level has not passed, it does not matter, quit the game and start over again.
About the ending of the good man of Liangshan
Many people will feel very sorry for the ending of the good men of Liangshan when reading "Water Margin", including Song Jiang himself, almost everyone has not been able to end a good ending. And many people believe that the reason for this ending is rooted in Song Jiang.
Because Song Jiang did not think of leading the good men of Liangshan to revolt at the beginning, but only thinking about recruiting security, defecting to the imperial court, and enjoying the glory and wealth. And if Song Jiangzhen is really bent on developing and expanding Liangshan, then these people will definitely have another ending, perhaps able to overthrow the rule of the dynasty and establish a new kingdom.
But is that really the case?
If Song Jiang refused to recruit An and chose to revolt, the chances of overthrowing the Song Dynasty were very low
No matter from any point of view, Liangshan's overthrow of the Song Dynasty rule is impossible! Although there were many capable people on Liangshan, this did not mean that they had the strength to fight against the regular army of the imperial court. Although they achieved partial victories in the confrontation with the imperial court, they never participated in a large-scale war.
Guerrilla warfare, sneak attack and war are two completely different concepts. Once Liangshan and the imperial court confronted each other and led the troops to fight, who would command the battle? Who can command the battle? Who is proficient in the art of war, can lead troops to fight, and fights the kind of battle in which less wins more?
Moreover, the management of Liangshan itself was also very chaotic, and at the beginning there were not many people on Liangshan, and this confusion could not be reflected. When there were more and more people on Liangshan, especially after the Song River went to Liangshan, the whole Liangshan actually presented a very torn situation.
Most of the people supportEd Song Jiang, and many of these people are also newcomers. What's more, whether it is the old man or the new person, which one does not have its own little nine-nine, small abacus? The army of the Song Dynasty, although the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light force, but the army was still a regular army after all, and it was all trained regularly and systematically.
Moreover, the backing of the army is the country, and there is no need to worry about resources, equipment, weapons, etc. In Liangshan, everything has to be prepared by itself, and logistics cannot be guaranteed at all. Don't say guarantee, once the fight starts, the weapon is not certain. Moreover, Liangshan is mixed with fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of people, and there are fallen nobles.
There are officials like Song Jiang and Lin Chong who have been forced to go to Liangshan; there are also many small, and there are some so-called mountain forest hermits. When people like this get together, it's a complete mess, and it's extremely difficult to command them. There are also some people who have the same mind as Song Jiang.
That is, Liangshan is only a temporary foothold, and their hearts still hope to continue to go back to being officials, after all, being an official is much more comfortable than being a grass cursive. Therefore, under such circumstances, even if Song Jiang did not recruit security, just by virtue of Liangshan's strength, it was simply not enough to see in front of the imperial court.
What's more, Song Jiang currently has only two roads in front of him, one is to completely tear his face with the imperial court; the other is Zhao'an. Even if Song Jiang dared to tear his face with the imperial court, it did not mean that everyone on Liangshan would support him, and there must be some people who did not want to be a grass cursman on Liangshan all the time.
Therefore, Song Jiang has only one way to go, that is, Zhao'an. Therefore, even if Song Jiang did not accept Zhao'an, he led the Liangshan uprising. In fact, the outcome is not different, the probability of overthrowing the Song Dynasty is really too low, if nothing else, just in terms of the number of troops, the Song Dynasty can easily crush Liangshan.
What if the uprising succeeds if the security is refused?
There are also many people who will assume that if Song Jiang refused to recruit An and led the Liangshan uprising, and really let him succeed! What will it be like? Then suppose that his uprising is successful, then the situation will not necessarily be much better than it is now, and the ultimate beneficiaries may only be Song Jiang and some people.
More likely, Song Jiang could not even save himself. Because after the success of the uprising, it will inevitably face a question, that is, who will be the emperor? If you want to say that according to Song Jiang, he is the leader of Liangshan, so it is reasonable that this position should be for him to sit.
He had this idea, would anyone else have it? Definitely! Some people will think that they have worked hard and worked hard, some people will think that they are from the nobility, in short, they will think that they are more suitable to be emperors than others. This is bound to trigger a new round of power struggle.
And Song Jiang is also very likely to kill the heroes like Zhu Yuanzhang in order to seize power.
