As one of the four famous works in China, "Water Margin" has always been loved by the broad masses of the people with its home-country plot and the brotherhood of righteousness and thin clouds. In particular, Juyi's one hundred and eight good men on Liangshan are even more admirable, and some of them have developed to this day and become allusions to the popular population, such as Wu Song fighting tigers, and then forcing Liangshan.
Among these well-known good men, Lin Chong was undoubtedly a very famous one, he ranked sixth in liangshan juyi, originally the head of the 800,000 forbidden army guns and sticks of the Song Dynasty, because his wife was favored by Gao Yannei, the adopted son of Tai Wei Gao Li, he was framed many times, and finally forced to fall into liangshan grass.
Eight hundred thousand forbidden army leaders, in charge of the forbidden army eight hundred thousand, this head sounds too prestigious, even such an important courtier can be robbed of his wife by Gao Li, people can't help but sigh, how corrupt is the rule of this Northern Song Dynasty, how big is Gao Li's power? But in fact, Gao Li's power is not so big, and Lin Chong's official position is not so prestigious.
The Forbidden Army was the central army of the Song Dynasty, and the military status and the right to send troops belonged to the Privy Council, and was ruled by the Three Guards, that is, the Temple Front Division and the Guards Horse Army Division, the Guards Infantry Division, and the scope of the jurisdiction radiated from the classes in front of the palace to the national forbidden army. This Gao Li was one of the administrators of the Forbidden Army.
After talking about the forbidden army, let's talk about the problem of the head of the church. First of all, the 800,000 forbidden army leaders are only one of the 800,000 forbidden army leaders, not the 800,000 forbidden army chief coaches, and there are all coaches above the 800,000 forbidden army coaches. Secondly, the status of military generals in the Northern Song Dynasty was actually very low, because the throne of Zhao Kuangyin, the grandfather of the Song Dynasty, was not right, and the Great Song Dynasty that was laid down was originally to raise troops through military generals, and in order to fear that there would be other military generals to follow his behavior, he began to vigorously suppress military generals, emphasizing literature and light weapons.
The reason why the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty was commanded by the Guards Division and the Dianqian Division was that it was afraid that the military power would be too unified, and the Dianqian commanders were subordinate to Erpin. In the Song Dynasty, the head of the Forbidden Army was only a low-ranking petty official, or even had no rank at all, and now he is just a general figure of teaching and coaching. As for Gao Li, the official position was Tai Wei (太尉), the commander-in-chief of the central direct subordinate forces of the Forbidden Army under the emperor.
Seeing this estimate, there are readers who have doubts, Xiaobian should not be a liar, Lin Chong's official position is not so big, how did he serve the public on Liangshan? But the problem is that Liangshan is not a place of comparative status. The good han of Liangshan is a group of green forest righteous soldiers, who value whether they are righteous enough, whether they are enough brothers, and whether their martial arts are strong enough.
Although Lin Chong's official position is not high in fact, he can be a coach of the Forbidden Army, and his martial arts are still worthy of affirmation, his marksmanship is very famous in Liangshan, and with the addition of righteousness, he naturally believes in his good men.
