China has a long history of more than 5,000 years, during which countless literary works and craft works were born, such as Tang poems and Song poems, Qinqi calligraphy and painting, etc., which reflect the greatness of the ancient working people and intellectuals.
China also has four famous works, they are "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "Water Margin".
The four famous books have attracted countless readers, even many foreigners, today we will introduce some of the stories in "Water Margin".
In the Water Margin, there are one hundred and eight Liangshan heroes and good men, each of whom is a chivalrous warrior who is killed by a traitor, and is forced to fall into the grass and gather in Liangshan.
The hero and good man in Liangshan was led by the timely rain Song Jiang, and Song Jiang finally led the good men of Liangshan to accept the invitation of Emperor Huizong of Song, and after the recruitment, he fought for the imperial court to fight and peace.
As a result, many good men in Liangshan lost their lives, and those who survived were also calculated by the imperial court, and many people died tragically.
Whenever the book fans read this, they will be very disgusted with Song Jiang, because it was Song Jiang who single-handedly buried the lives of all the good men in Liangshan, and if Song Jiang had not accepted the invitation of the imperial court, many good men in Liangshan would not have such an ending.
However, the culprit that caused the collapse of Liangshan was actually not Song Jiang, but Wu Yong, the zhiduo star, and the following is to introduce why Wu Yong is the real culprit.
"Timely rain" Song Jiang
Song Jiang was originally a shogun in Shandong who had helped Chao Gai in the Birth Anniversary Incident, and Chao Gai also gave away many gold and silver treasures to show his gratitude to Song Jiang, but these things were known to Yan Po.
When Song Jiang learned that the news was revealed, he killed Yan Boxi and began a journey of escape, and later defected to Hua Rong, but was framed and imprisoned by others and escorted to Qingzhou.
Because Song Jiang knew many liangshan heroes and good men, and had intersected with them, many good men decided to rescue Song Jiang after learning that Song Jiang would be escorted to Qingzhou.
Song Jiang also came to Liangshan after being rescued, and later Chao Gai became the first in command of Liangshan, and Song Jiang assisted Chao Gai, who also became the second in command of Liangshan.
Chao Gai was killed by a poisoned arrow shot by Shi Wengong during his attack on Zengtou City, and Song Jiang succeeded Chao Gai as the commander of Liangshan.
Song Jiang renamed the Juyi Hall as Zhongyi Hall, and formed one hundred and eight good men of Liangshan, ranking first himself, and later under the leadership of Song Jiang, he fought with the imperial court many times, achieved many victories, and led Liangshan to the peak.
After the imperial court saw that the encirclement and suppression would not be successful, it abandoned the method of encirclement and suppression and changed it to Zhao'an, and later Song Jiang led the good hans to accept the imperial court's recruitment, and many people were also rewarded by the imperial court.
After accepting Zhao'an, the Song Dynasty was invaded by the Liao State, and Song Jiang was ordered to lead the good Han to attack the Liao soldiers and won a great victory, and later joined the battles to pacify Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La.
Many good men in Liangshan also lost their lives or were wounded in the course of the conquest, and after the victory of the conquest of Fang La, only twenty-seven leaders remained.
Song Jiang thought that returning to the imperial court would definitely be rewarded by the imperial court, but the result was just the opposite, Cai Jing, Gao Li and others killed Song Jiang with poisonous wine, and many of the remaining good men eventually died tragically.
"Wisdom multi-star" Wu yong
Wu Yong was originally a talented person, who had been reading poetry since he was a child, not only resourceful, but also able to write and fight, which can be said to be a rare talent.
Wu Yong, because he had offended the current chancellor Cai Jing, could not obtain his own official position in the official field, and in order to retaliate against the imperial court, Wu Yong helped Chao Gai and others successfully steal the birthday program, and eventually went to Liangshan.
Wu Yong can be said to be a real military master on Liangshan, and many things are indispensable to Wu Yong's figure, Wu Yong once elected Chao Gai to become the commander of Liangshan, and after Chao Gai's death, he helped Song Jiang become the commander of Liangshan.
Later, he rescued Lu Junyi with a plan and took him to Liangshan, in the process of recruiting, Wu yong repeatedly advised Song Jiang to accept the imperial court's zhao'an, it can be said that the success of zhao'an is indispensable to Wu Yong's credit, and after accepting zhao'an, he followed Song Jiang to participate in many battles.
After the conquest of Fang La, Song Jiang was killed by the imperial court with poisoned wine, and Wu Yong remained loyal to Song Jiang and hanged himself in front of Song Jiang's mausoleum after Song Jiang's death.
The real "murderer" Wu Yong
Through the above description, it is not difficult to find that Wu Yong was the one who always wanted to accept Zhao'an, and after Song Jiang learned that the imperial court wanted to recruit many good men in Liangshan, he did not decide to accept the imperial court's zhao'an.
However, Wu Yong repeatedly advised Song Jiang to accept Zhao'an, and Song Jiang accepted Zhao'an after being brainwashed many times, which also led to the beginning of the tragedy.
The purpose of the imperial court to recruit many good men in Liangshan was not simple, not just for the sake of suppressing bandits, but to use the power of Liangshan to recruit other traitors, which could not only eliminate other bandits, but also weaken the strength of Liangshan, which could not be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Due to the failure of many conquests, the imperial court itself was full of hatred for Liangshan, and even if many good men in Liangshan accepted the invitation, the hatred of the imperial court for them still existed.
In addition, in the process of rescuing Lu Junyi, the good men of Liangshan had caused the death of many civilians and soldiers, and the original purpose of this operation was to rescue Lu Junyi, but the good men of Liangshan began to massacre wildly after seeing the gold and silver treasures of the Daming Palace, and brought these treasures to Liangshan.
The massacre caused by this operation made the imperial court very angry, and the imperial court severely punished the local officials and kept this account in mind, and Wu Yong was the commander of the operation.
When Wu began to persuade Song Jiang to accept the imperial court's offer, the imperial court's retaliation began, and the imperial court used the rebellion to continuously weaken Liangshan's strength, and successfully poisoned Song Jiang and others, and finally achieved the success of the plan.
If Wu Yong had not launched a massacre in the process of rescuing Lu Junyi, the imperial court might not have held a grudge against the many good men in Liangshan, and the remaining good men would have received a good death, but unfortunately, the outcome of the matter was just the opposite.
epilogue
Although it is not accurate to blame All the blame on Wu Yong's head, Wu Yong is the real person who caused the collapse of Liangshan.
Although "Water Margin" is only a fictional literary work, every good man in the book is victimized by the traitor and eventually falls into the grass, which also hints at the rebellion of the people against the corruption of the rulers at that time.
If many good men in Liangshan did not accept the court's offer in the end, the final outcome would also be to perish, although the good men were heroic and good at war, but they did not have the ability to compete with the imperial court.
It can be said that the end of Liangshan was already laid when they were established, and Wu Yong and Song Jiang only accelerated the demise of Liangshan.
