Chinese culture has a long history and has a history of civilization of 5,000 years.
In this long history and civilization, many heritage treasures that shocked the world have been handed down, among which the four masterpieces of Chinese classics have amazed countless people and praised Chinese culture.
Each of the four masterpieces contains extremely profound philosophies, which are expounded for people one by one through one story after another.
Among the four famous works, "Water Margin", which is heroic and courageous, and iron-blooded and tender, is the most loved by people.
First, the small official is born a hero
When it comes to "Water Margin", people's first reaction is that of the 108 heroes Haojie.
They come from different backgrounds and have different skills, but they are all forced to "force up Liangshan" for various reasons.
On Liangshan, every good man had a deep grudge against the imperial court. However, there was one person who wanted to submit to the imperial court, and this person was Song Jiang.
Song Jiang is a more contradictory character in "Water Margin", his origin is a small official, although he also served as an errand boy in the imperial court, but the officials are different.
As a minor official, Song Jiang did not have the same room for promotion as other officials.
This led to The restriction of Song Jiang's career path, and he himself was extremely affectionate and liked to make friends with people in the rivers and lakes, so he was deliberately embarrassed by many colleagues.
Song Jiang also knew that if he made friends with good people in the jianghu, he would be criticized or even framed by people with hearts.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of his father, he took the initiative to let his father go to the government office and dissolve the father-son relationship with himself.
From this point of view, Song Jiang is worried that he will not be able to serve his father's side in the future, and he does not want to involve his father's behavior, which is undoubtedly a kind of filial piety to his father.
However, no one expected that the person who forced him to go to Liangshan in the end was also his father.
After Song Jiang recovered Lü Fang and others, his father pretended to be seriously ill and unfortunately died, and a family letter tricked Song Jiang back home, was arrested by the government, and was sent to charge the army, fortunately rescued by the good man of Liangshan.
After that, he was sentenced to be beheaded after writing anti-poetry and was also saved by the good man of Liangshan, and song Jiang was only on the beam.
Although Song Jiang became liangshan's second chair, and even later became the leader of many heroes in Liangshan, unlike all the good men of Liangshan, Song Jiang has always been thinking of returning to the imperial court as an errand boy.
In fact, among the many good men in Liangshan, there were not a few people who were more noble than Song Jiang before falling grass, and there were also many people who held higher official positions than Song Jiang in the DPRK.
For example, Lin Chong, the "leader of the 800,000 Forbidden Army" that we are familiar with, is much stronger than Song Jiang in his official position and treatment, and his hatred for the corruption of the imperial court and the hatred of officials for doing no evil deeds has caused him to have no heart to return to the imperial court.
But Song Jiang was different, even though he became the leading big brother of the good men on Liang, but he had always been looking forward to the zhao'an of the imperial court, and he was looking forward to becoming a high official after zhao'an.
SECOND, more than 70 good men's lives in exchange for the "big official"
It has always been Song Jiang's dream to leave a name in the history of adding officials to the knighthood, and from the time he served in the imperial court, he dreamed of one day being able to have an extraordinary title, even after he arrived in Liangshan and fell into the grass.
It is true that after Song Jiang joined Liangshan, he made many suggestions and suggestions to manage liangshan's large and small affairs in an orderly manner, which made many heroes and good men admire.
However, only a very small number of people knew that Song Jiang had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to be recruited by the imperial court.
At that time, the imperial court had only two ways to deal with the bandits, one was to suppress and pacify the bandits, and the other was to allow the high-ranking official Houlu to recruit and make him serve the imperial court, and this bandit plague would naturally not be chaotic.
Under the confrontation between Song Jiang and all the good men, although the imperial court also sent heavy troops to suppress Liangshan on many occasions, but they did not return, so they could only recruit the people of Liangshan.
The court's recruitment was right in Song Jiang's arms, and he hurried to consult with all the good men of Liangshan, but on the surface it was consultation, but in fact Song Jiang wanted to take all the good men of Liangshan away.
In this way, he would become an official in the DPRK in the future, and there were also available people under him, and this force was enough for him to seek a considerable official position in the DPRK.
However, at this time, after years of conquest, several of Liangshan Haojie's lives were killed at the hands of the imperial court, so the gap between the good men of Liangshan and the imperial court could not be repaired, and in addition, many good men were forced to join Liangshan because of their opposition to the officials of the imperial court, and it was impossible to let them serve the imperial court at this time.
In the end, there were only about seventy good men who were recruited to follow Song Jiang.
After being recruited, Song Jiang thought that he could be made a marquis and worship the chancellor, but he wanted the imperial court to show his strength first, and ordered him to lead the good men who had been recruited to quell the rebellion.
In the battle with Fang La, the good men who followed Song Jiang suffered heavy losses.
In the end, after the evaluation of the imperial court, Song Jiang was given the official position of "Chuzhou Pacification Envoy", so how big is the chuzhou pacification envoy that Song Jiang used the lives of more than 70 good men to exchange for the Chuzhou pacification envoy?
III. Song Jiang's "Mayor"
According to the establishment of the imperial court at that time, the position of the pacifying envoy in Chuzhou belonged to the official position of Sanpin, which was one level lower than the official position of the normal Erpin appeasement envoy, and should be regarded as an official position from Erpin or Zhengsanpin.
According to the jurisdiction of the territory, it is equivalent to the current mayoral official position.
Although this official position was not considered to be a power tilt toward the opposition, it was also a sesame petty official. Compared with the previous Song Jiang's small officials, the gap is more of a heaven and an underground.
Even though this official position is not small, it is not enough to be recorded in the annals of history.
In addition, although Song Jiang had such an official position, he did not have half a point of real power, especially after the good man of Liangshan who followed him was killed and wounded, and no one in the imperial court bought half of his face.
This was a world away from his imaginary life after being recruited, and what was even more ridiculous was that after he lost all his use value, he was also killed by Cai Jing and others with poisonous wine.
I have to say that on the Liangshan Mountains where heroes are born, Song Jiang is definitely the only existence that is not enough to be called a hero.
This apparent "big brother thief" is a "hypocrite" who would rather exchange his brother's life for his own career.
