"Water Margin" as one of the four famous works, by countless people love, 108 good men in Liangshan bowl drinking large pieces of meat, known as brothers, life is not happy, but also let people feel envious.
In fact, reading water margin carefully, their ranking is actually very interesting, in fact, some people's strength may not be able to be put into the Tiangang, such as not covering Mu Hong, or inserting wings tiger Lei Heng, and the 17th ranked blue-faced beast Yang Zhi, the 39th rank Sun Li, according to the reason, their ability to advance a few is not a problem at all. After all, in the late stage of the Water Margin, in the small whirlwind chai jin of soy sauce, Li Ying can rank 10th and 11th, considering that they are "bringing shares into the gang", it is not surprising.
In fact, there is one person, who can be said to be the most underrated good man in Liangshan, who is skilled in his means but only ranks on the ground, and has not been reused by Song Jiang in his life, and this person is the 52nd ranked Thunderbolt Lingzhen. In the good men of Liangshan, although there is no shortage of skilled people, but many before joining Liangshan, in fact, there is no fame, but this rule is not applicable to Ling Zhen's body, Ling Zhen is a Yanling person, he was already the "song dynasty under the world's first gunner" reputation, especially good at making artillery, according to the book, a cannon can hit fourteen or five miles away, what is this concept?
You should know the great general cannon of the Ming Dynasty. The maximum fire coverage is no more than 2 miles, and the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun during World War II has a range of only 4200 meters, although the author Shi Nai'an describes Ling Zhen's ability as exaggerated, but it is also true that he is strong. As a result, Ling Zhen also became the deputy envoy of the Tokyo Armor Depot, equivalent to the deputy chief of the arsenal (which is a fat difference). However, unfortunately, just when Ling Zhen's life was going well, he was invited by Hu Yanzhuo to attack Liangshan, and in front of Song Jiang and others with the aura of the protagonist, Ling Zhen did not fire a few cannons, and was captured by Liangshan, and immediately turned the gun on the Song Dynasty.
Ling Zhen was in Liangshan, in fact, he was not taken seriously, and he made one of the few appearances, one was when Liangshan attacked the Daming Palace, when Feihuyu set off cannons to create chaos, and later when Tong Guan and Gao Li were attacking Liangshan, they released cannons as orders. To put it bluntly, Song Jiang was completely using Ling Zhen as a "trumpeter" to make it, and put a cannon for everyone to listen to.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand Song Jiang's approach, after all, the firearms during the Song Dynasty were not perfect, people's cognition of artillery was still in the enlightenment stage, and although Liangshan was powerful, it was also a peasant rebel army, and naturally there were no large resources to provide Ling Zhen and let him play his role.
However, after Liangshan accepted the recruitment, Ling Zhen regained the formation of the official army and received a large number of supplies, which slowly showed his power, he first used artillery to help siege the city in Jizhou, and when he was recruiting Tian Hu, he fired a cannon overnight to attack the Gaizhou City Tower, and when he attacked Wang Qing, his subordinate General Yuan Lang also died under the shelling of Ling Zhen's men.
And his greatest achievement could not be that when attacking Muzhou, a cannon shot killed Fang La's subordinate Lingying Tianshi Bao Daoyi, who had cut off Wu Song's arm (it seems that the mage is still invincible to modern technology!). ）
After the end of the conquest of Fang La, Ling Zhen also became one of the few survivors, was named the commander of the capital, returned to his old profession, the gunpowder bureau went to the imperial camp, Ling Zhen is also considered to be one of the most satisfactory among the good men of Liangshan, and some people think that if Song Jiang can reuse Ling Zhen and regard him as a strategic weapon, maybe liangshan casualties will not be so heavy, what do you think?
