"Water Margin" has a rich foundation, and many of the plots in the book are thought-provoking and worth pondering.
"Water Margin" has a lot of characters, just the protagonist, there are 108.
Liangshan One Hundred Singles and Eight Generals have different personalities, and most of them are dragonflies flashing by.
Occupying more space are Song Jiang, Lin Chong, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, and Yang Zhi, the five good men of Liangshan.
If you look at it from the perspective of modern people, there are actually few good people in Liangshan.
It can also be said that there are no good people on Liangshan except for Lu Zhishen.
Even Wu Song had blood-spattered Mandarin Duck Tower, which hurt innocent people.
The good man of Liangshan was originally intended to be a good man, but under the leadership of Elder Brother Song, he became more and more crooked.
Chao Gai was a loyal man, and before Song Jiang ascended the mountain, Chao Gai was the big leader of Liangshan.
Chao Gai's thinking is that we liangshan good people only take ill-gotten gains, and resolutely cannot hurt the innocent.
If ordinary people pass through Liangshan, they must not be hurt.
This point was clearly mentioned in the original work of "Water Margin", and Chao Gai said so:
"You can only take good money and goods, and you must not harm the lives of merchants."
Since Brother Song went to Liangshan, the good men have changed and become real green forests and grasses.
Before Elder Brother Song went to Liangshan, Chao Gai took the good men to Jiangzhou to rob the law field, and as a result, the black whirlwind Li Kui carried a plank axe and slashed randomly.
The original book of "Water Margin" is written like this:
"This big black man went straight to the river, blood spattered all over his body, ignoring the soldiers and the people, blindly slashing and slashing, only to kill the corpses all over the field, and the blood flowed to the city canal!" Chao Gai straightened up the knife and shouted, "Don't do the people's business, Hugh just hurt people!" "The man came there to listen to the call, one axe at a time, and the leader of the platoon will cut it down."
Li Kui didn't pay any attention to Chao Gai at all, and didn't take Chao Gai in his eyes at all, because he was Brother Song's confidant!
After Chao Gai's death, Song Gongming did things even more unscrupulously and without a bottom line.
In order to let Zhu Tong go up the mountain, Elder Brother Song actually let Li Kui use a plate axe to split Xiao Yanei.
This kind of thing, Chao Gai definitely can't do it!
After Brother Song became the leader of Liangshan, he continued to absorb masters from all sides, and the good men of the green forest also came to defect.
As a result, Liangshan changed from a small cottage with no name to a big Kou that caused headaches for the Song court.
However, there are also real heroes in "Water Margin", who can't see Liangshan and see through the ending of Liangshan.
This real "hero" is Xiao Jiasui.
Who is "Xiao Jiasui"? I believe that many readers see this name, they are staring at the big eyes, a look of surprise.
In "Water Margin", there is such a person? How come I haven't seen it?
Yes, in the one hundred and twenty versions of "Water Margin", Xiao Jiasui appeared once.
Xiao Jiasui was like a startled glance, hurrying and hurrying away.
When the good Han of Liangshan was recruiting Wang Qing, Xiao Jiasui appeared.
Wang Qing is a hard bone, it is not easy to fight, and because of the water and soil, many good people in Liangshan have suffered from diseases.
When Xiao Rang, Pei Xuan, and Jin Dajian came to help, they were exposed halfway through the road and were arrested by Wang Qing's men.
Elder Brother Song was worried about the safety of the three of them, and in a fit of rage, he was about to forcibly attack the city.
However, the good men of Liangshan are not good at attacking strong points, and many good men are sick, and forcibly attacking the city is the next strategy.
If they didn't attack the city, Xiao Rang, Pei Xuan, and Jin Dajian might not live long.
Brother Song and his confidant Wu Yong were at a loss, anxious to turn the ants on the hot pot.
Xiao Jiasui felt that the good men of Liangshan were better than Wang Qing, at least they were taking the right path of Zhao'an, so they decided to help.
Xiao Jiasui, alone, carried a large knife and directly hit Wang Qing's shuai mansion.
Then, Xiao Jiasui rescued the three trapped good men of Liangshan, and also took down the city pass, opened the city gate, and let the good han of Liangshan enter the city.
In the original book of "Water Margin", it is written:
"Xiao Jiasui took the lead, beheaded Liang Yong's head, rushed to the north gate, killed the goalkeeper Ma Fei, and opened the city gate to release the suspension bridge."
Xiao Jiasui used only one move to slash Wang Qing's three generals.
The martial arts and courage displayed by Xiao Jiasui were no less than those of Wu Song.
Xiao Jiasui solved the big problem of the good man of Liangshan and helped the good man of Liangshan to capture a city without a single soldier.
Of course, this is a talent, a talent that is unique in ten thousand, so Xiao Jiasui was honored as a guest of honor by Big Brother Song.
Elder Brother Song took out his hand, and when he saw Xiao Jiasui, he bowed his head and wanted to give up the position of Liangshan boss to Xiao Jiasui.
Of course, Big Brother Song just wanted Xiao Jiasui to fall into Liangshan and become the 109th liangshan good man.
Song Jiang's attitude was very respectful, so that Xiao Jiasui sat on the upper seat, sat on the side himself, and begged Xiao Jiasui to go to Liangshan.
Xiao Jiasui directly rejected Song Jiang without even thinking about it, and he said this to more than a dozen good people in Liangshan:
"This is not necessary, Xiao Mou's move today, not for the sake of fame and wealth." Xiao Mou is a lonely and unheard of person, seeing a number of aspiring heroes, regardless of life and death, the more the public family is in trouble, if there is any improper action, those who protect their wives with all their bodies will follow the mediators, and their lives are all in the hands of the power and adultery. Like Xiao Mou today, there is no official responsibility, but like that idle cloud wild crane, why can't it fly? ”
Xiao Jiasui's words were clearly rejecting Liangshan's invitation, but in fact he was enlightening the twelve good men of Liangshan who were sitting next to him.
Xiao Jiasui saw through the end of Liangshan at a glance, and he advised all the good men, "But like that idle cloud wild crane, why can't the heavens fly?" ”
Xiao Jiasui's words saved the twelve good men of Liangshan on the side.
Which good men heard Xiao Jiasui's words?
The original book of "Water Margin" reads: "Sitting on Gongsun Sheng, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Yan Qing, Li Jun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Dai Zong, Chai Jin, Fan Rui, Zhu Wu, Jiang Jing and other twelve people, Xiao Zhuangshi's words are even more nodding and playing. ”
If you take a closer look, the twelve good men of Liangshan mentioned above were all returned to the hidden mountain forest after conquering Fang La.
Lu Zhi sat deeply, Wu Song became a monk, Li Jun took Tong Wei Tong out to sea, Yan Qing returned to hermitage, Zhu Wu followed Gongsun Sheng to learn the Tao, and Fan Rui, Jiang Jing, Fan Rui, and Dai Zong all chose to retreat.
If it weren't for Xiao Jiasui's words, where would these twelve good men of Liangshan be able to end well?
Xiao Jiasui is the real hero of "Water Margin", who has whisked his clothes away and hidden his merits and fame.
