As we all know, after the unfortunate death of Chao Gai, the first leader of Liangshan, Song Jiang became the first chair of Liangshan because of his meritorious service, and then began to discuss the merits and rewards, there is no doubt that Song Jiang, as the leader, naturally became the Tiankui Star who became the head of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars. Unfortunately, however, just as the good man of Liangshan was planning to continue to confront the Northern Song court, Song Jiang accepted the court's offer and led his troops to surrender to the imperial court, at this time his closest brother, the black whirlwind Li Kui, was very dissatisfied. However, he was very loyal to Song Jiang, and since Song Jiang decided to surrender to the imperial court, he could only accept this helpless reality. Later, in order to weaken the strength of Liangshan's army, the Northern Song court actually asked Song Jiang to lead the good Han of Liangshan to march south to the north, especially in the process of conquest of Fang La, and the good Han of Liangshan suffered heavy casualties. What may surprise everyone is that only more than 20 of the 108 good men returned to the Great Song Dynasty in the end, and the good men of Liangshan originally made great contributions and should be rewarded by the imperial court. However, what they did not expect was that what waited for Song Jiang in the end was a cup of poisonous wine, and Song Jiang, who drank the poisonous wine, knew that he would undoubtedly die, in order to avoid Li Kui from making trouble and destroying his reputation of loyalty and righteousness that he had maintained all his life, he actually poisoned Li Kui with deception.
Later, Wu Yong and Hua Rong learned that Song Jiang had been poisoned, because they had no military power in their hands and were powerless, they could not avenge Song Jiang, so they ran to Song Jiang's grave and hanged themselves. Up to this point, there were not many good men in Liangshan who survived, and most of them were still just a fictitious position and had no real power, but one of them was highly valued by the Northern Song Court, which was the 12th tianmanxing Zhu Tong, who was a veritable general of real power at that time. Moreover, he also became a jiedushi envoy, equivalent to a military general with heavy troops, and can be counted as the most powerful good man in Liangshan, but here a question arises, since Zhu Tong has heavy troops, why is he unwilling to avenge Song Jiang? In fact, all this must be said from the reason why he first went up the mountain, everyone knows that Zhu Tong's original family situation was quite superior, he could be called a rich man on one side, and he was also highly skilled in martial arts, and he was also very righteous. Later, Zhu Tong served as a catcher in the county town, mainly engaged in the official business of arresting bandits, and secretly released Song Jiang because he was grateful for his personality. However, he often walked by the river, where there were not wet shoes, and finally Zhu Tong let go of the bandits, which was known to the government and was assigned to Cangzhou Prison, where he was appreciated by the Cangzhou prefect and let him accompany his young son Xiao Yanei all day.
However, Song Jiang admired Zhu Tong very much, so in order to force Zhu Tong to go up the mountain, he actually listened to Wu Yong's advice and let Li Kui secretly kill Xiao Yanei. At this time, even if Zhu Tong had a thousand mouths, he couldn't tell the reason for it, in order to avoid being arrested and executed by the governor of Cangzhou, he had no choice but to defect to Liangshan, but according to relevant information, even if he went to Liangshan, he still felt sorry for the cangzhou prefect who had the grace of knowing himself. In the end, under the brainwashing of Chao Gai, Zhu Tong slowly let go of this past, and in the later military operations against the imperial army, Zhu Tong basically made great achievements. After Song Jiang surrendered to the imperial court, Zhu Tong became the emissary of the Taiping Army because of his outstanding military ability, and the reason why he was unwilling to avenge Song Jiang was summed up for two reasons, first, in his heart, he did not forget that Song Jiang sent Li Kui to kill Xiao Yanei and frame himself. Second, Song Jiangli was unwilling to listen to the advice of his brothers, and chose to surrender to the imperial court, but he was eventually poisoned, which was also self-inflicted, and no one else was blamed.
The author believes that Song Jiang has been thinking of Guangzong Yaozu all his life, and in order to save his reputation of loyalty and righteousness, he sacrificed the lives of his brothers, which can be called an ungrateful person. Before he died, in order to fear that Li Kui would make trouble, he also poisoned Li Kui, and everyone should know that Li Kui was the most loyal person to him, and it is conceivable that Song Jiang was still a rather vicious person. In addition, it has to be said that Liangshan Boli did not establish a solid political power at all, did not substantially occupy a state and a county, resulting in a lack of taxes and grain, and relying on human relations to maintain relations, in the end, even if Song Jiang did not surrender to the imperial court, in fact, it was inevitable.
