Song Jiang is a classic character in "Water Margin", he leads a group of bandits from Liangshan to the court. Since then, he has begun to fight for the Court of the Southern Song Dynasty, but in the end he was framed and poisoned by the traitors.
But what is strange is that song Jiang, as the eldest brother of the good men of Liangshan, was poisoned and no one avenged him. Even at that time, three of the good men of Liangshan were officials in the imperial court and had military power. But just looking back at the process of these three people joining Liangshan, you will find that they actually did not want to join Liangshan voluntarily.
However, in some extremely helpless situations, they had to choose to stand in Liangshan, so from this point of view, to a large extent, they and Song Jiang are not completely in the same heart, so it is not surprising that they do not avenge Song Jiang.
1. One hundred and eight will be the first
As a cultural country, China has some outstanding talents in all aspects and works Whether it is ancient or modern China, there are many well-known writers, different writers have different writing styles, but good works must be able to resonate with people, but also reflect the characteristics of the times at that time, and the best four classic works in Chinese history are the four masterpieces.
The leader of them was Song Jiang, who was a particularly filial piety man who originally had a small official position in Yuncheng County, Shandong Province. He grew up with a small hairy cover, and the relationship between the two people has always been very good. However, Chao Gai went to be a bandit very early, and it was also because of giving him a message that Song Jiang was threatened by someone with a handle, and finally killed someone and had to escape.
In the process of escaping, Song Jiang met Wu Song and Li Kui and other people, and there were many twists and turns in the middle, and finally their group defected to Liangshan together. Song Jiang was not the boss at the beginning, he could become the core of the 108 general because on the one hand, he was resourceful, on the other hand, he was thoughtful. In the early days, the imperial court always tried to suppress bandits, so the imperial court always sent troops to attack Liangshan.
2. Submit to the Imperial Court
The imperial court sent troops to attack Liangshan many times, but never fought. However, the imperial court was not a vegetarian and there were many resourceful officials, so at the suggestion of some people, the Southern Song court changed its way and chose to appease them, hoping to make them submit to the imperial court. And this matter caused a contradiction in Liangshan at that time.
Because many people in 108 were unjustly accused by the imperial court and fled to Liangshan in desperation, they originally had a grudge against the Southern Song Dynasty court. However, Song Jiang is a very transparent person, he is not only good at reading people's hearts, but he is also very able to see the situation clearly.
Although the Southern Song Dynasty court did not attack Liangshan several times, this did not mean that Liangshan was indestructible. Because Liangshan occupies a great geographical advantage, but if the imperial court's army has penetrated the terrain for a long time, coupled with the difference in numbers, it is only a matter of time before it is captured by the imperial court army.
Therefore, a small number of people, including Song Jiang, felt that they should submit to the imperial court, which caused a great contradiction between the 108 generals, who originally looked united. However, Song Jiang was too good at speculating on people's hearts and was also very good at using scheming, so he quickly cut through the mess with his knife while moving with affection and reason, and it didn't take long for him to submit to the imperial court with many of his generals.
Third, no one takes revenge
Therefore, from then on, what was originally a group of bandits transformed into officials with a staff in the imperial court, and the Southern Song Dynasty court had a hard time recruiting them, so it used them to fight. Because the 108 generals were originally full of extraordinary skills, but in the late Southern Song Dynasty court, there was a phenomenon of adulterous ministers taking power as eunuchs.
At that time, Song Jiang led the 108 generals of Liangshan to often win battles, which made some traitors in the imperial court fear that he would be reused by the emperor and influence their greed. Later, because of a war, song jiang lost more people in the army, and the emperor gave him imperial wine in order to appease him. As a result, I did not expect to be exploited by the eunuchs.
They secretly poisoned the imperial liquor, and Song Jiang was poisoned. But after Song Jiang was poisoned, there was no one to avenge him, so some people did not understand. Because in the process of reading "Water Margin", you will find that the good men of Liangshan are all loyal and righteous.
Especially when Song Jiang was killed at that time, three of the good men of Liangshan held military power in the court, they were Zhu Tong, Guan Sheng, and Hu Yanzhuo. According to common sense, their good eldest brother Song Jiang was murdered by the adulterers, and they had heavy troops in hand, so they should avenge their eldest brother at this time. But none of the three of them took action.
In fact, to a certain extent, this is because of the process of going to Liangshan at that time. There are many heroes in Liangshan 108 who went to Liangshan voluntarily or out of admiration for Song Jiang, but there are also some people who did not voluntarily go to Liangshan, because Liangshan is actually a bandit nest.
In particular, Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo, who were actually generals in the imperial court, sent them to suppress bandits to attack Liangshan, because they were inferior to others and were captured by the good men of Liangshan. On this basis, Song Jiang was also very good at pinching people's hearts, so he personally sent the two of them to Liangshan.
From this point of view, Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo are more like being forced to stay in Liangshan, and Song Jiang actually has no lifelong friendship. Then there is Zhu Tong, although Zhu Tong and Song Jiang have known each other for a long time, but he did not want to go to Liangshan at the beginning, but only wanted to live a peaceful and stable life as a petty official.
Song Jiang used a ruse to get Zhu Tong, so that he lost his job and was hunted down, and Zhu Tong finally had no way to reach Liangshan. In the eyes of some people, their practice may be loyal, but to put it bluntly, they do not respect Zhu Tong's own wishes.
Therefore, Zhu Tong should be contradictory in his heart, and he did not avenge Song Jiang. In the final analysis, Song Jiang's success in this life is also because he is good at using schemes and being good at guessing people's hearts, and his failure is also because he is too good at using schemes and too good at speculating on people's hearts.
4. Summary
Song Jiang has done a lot of great things in this life, he is the core character in "Water Margin", on the one hand, people can see his filial piety and his great righteousness, but on the other hand, they can find that the process of bringing some so-called good brothers to Liangshan, in fact, every step is calculated by him, and those so-called brothers who are calculated by him are also difficult to really fight for him.
