"Water Margin" as one of the four famous works, it not only has a plot of falls and ups, but also a full and powerful character image, which is really a masterpiece, such as the timely rain Song Jiang with heavy feelings and righteousness, Wu Song, a walker with excellent martial arts, and Li Kui, a black whirlwind who moved several people to kill tigers to avenge his mother.
This 108 good men of Liangshan, together, constitute the wonderful "Water Margin", which shocked us.
"Water Margin" tells the story of the Song Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the history was extremely dim, the rulers were corrupt and incompetent, the traitors were in charge, and there were often peasant uprisings in civil organizations.
It was at this time that Liangshan revolted, and at this time, Song Jiang and other good men of Liangshan raised the banner of "for the Heavenly Path" to speak out for the people, which became a major problem for the emperors of the Song Dynasty and others at that time.
Unfortunately, in the end, Song Jiang was obsessed with ghosts and wanted to realize his dream of career through Zhao'an, but unfortunately, he thought that he could become famous all over the world and become a formal army, but in the end, many good men of Liangshan were killed one by one, and even Song Jiang finally did not escape the fate of being ended by a glass of poisoned wine.
But Song Jiang was willing to sacrifice more than 70 of his brothers for such a small official of Chu Prefecture to appease him, was it really worth it? How big is this Chu Prefecture appeasement envoy? To make Song Jiang give up everything on Liangshan, he could sacrifice more than 70 of his brothers for his dream of becoming an official.
Song Jiang's dream
Song Jiang, originally a small abbot in Shandong County, in the official system at that time, Song Jiang's official position was very small, and even, he did not deserve to be called an official, which naturally could not satisfy the grand ambition in Song Jiang's heart, in his heart, he was a person who wanted to do great things.
Defending the family and defending the country, fighting for the great righteousness in their hearts, it is impossible to intersect with Liangshan and others. Therefore, Song Jiang himself does not belong to the people on Liangshan, and his thoughts and efforts are all for his official position.
Just talked about Song Jiang did not mean to go to Liangshan at all, but why did he become the first chair of Liangshan?
First of all, although Song Jiang himself is a small oshi, he likes to make friends, especially in the jianghu, and with his identity as an oshi, he often helps those friends in the jianghu.
Therefore, slowly, the name of "Timely Rain Song Jiang" gradually spread, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knew that there was a very moralistic person, his name was Song Jiang.
Therefore, after Chao Gai and others robbed the Birthday Gang, they were hunted down and killed by the government, and it was Song Jiang who helped them, so that they escaped the disaster and successfully went to Liangshan.
Secondly, after the accident of Song Jiang, Chao Gai and other good men of Liangshan disregarded the danger and robbed Song Jiang out of the legal field. At this time, Song Jiang already knew that it was impossible for him to make progress in his career.
But when he saw the scene on Liangshan, a terrible idea appeared, he wanted to use Liangshan as a springboard, and then let the imperial court see his strength, and then realize his dream of "great righteousness".
After the recruitment, the dream came true
In the end, as Song Jiang wished, the people of Liangshan were persuaded by Song Jiang to be recruited by the imperial court. Song Jiang also realized his dream as he wished. The imperial court gave him the official position of a pacifying envoy in Chu Prefecture. But this official exchanged the lives of more than 70 brothers on Liangshan Mountain.
After the people of Liangshan were recruited, the imperial court sent them to recruit Fang La and others, but Fang La's strength was not bad, and the people of Liangshan defeated Fang La at the expense of more than 70 good men, and made great contributions to the imperial court. As a result, the imperial court only appointed Song Jiang, an official of the Chu Prefecture to appease the envoy.
ChuZhou appeased this official, to put it bluntly, equivalent to the meaning of a mayor now, which can be said to be a very small position.
Song Jiang's nature
When we watched the early stage of the TV series "Water Margin", we all thought that Song Jiang was a person who cherished love and righteousness, until we saw the end, we found that Song Jiang was such a sinister and reckless person.
In fact, Song Jiang was such a person at the beginning, after he went to Liangshan, he first split Liangshan through his own name in the jianghu and quickly found people who supported him.
For example, Wu Yong and others, and then began to elevate Chao Gai's rights, expanding their rights step by step, and finally, after Chao Gai's death, he completely covered the sky with one hand and controlled Liangshan's right to speak.
Secondly, after Song Jiang accepted the position of Lord of Liangshan, he renamed "Juyi Hall" to "Zhongyi Hall". This also shows that Song Jiang wants to be recruited by the imperial court. Then, in spite of the thoughts of other opponents of Zhao'an, he resolutely bowed to the imperial court and submitted to the traitors, only for his own dream of "great righteousness".
For a person like Song Jiang, he really did not deserve to be the leader of this Liangshan, first of all, he was weak and incompetent, relying only on his own reputation in the jianghu to direct others to do things for himself. In terms of martial arts, he is inferior to Wu Song, Lin Chong and others.
If the position of chief was given to Gongsun Sheng and Wu Yong, it might not be the result in the end, and maybe Liangshan might be able to overthrow the corrupt Song Dynasty and open up a new world on his own. Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
It can be seen that the book "Water Margin" not only tells about one hundred and eight good men, he not only writes about the blood of the good men's uprising, but also tells us a profound truth: whether a team can succeed, the most critical factor is still the leader.
In ancient times, if an emperor was weak and incompetent and extremely corrupt, how could he govern the world? Similarly, for us now, a company or a school, if there is no good CEO and no good principal, how can we ensure that the company's performance is thriving, and how can we ensure that the students are full of talents.
The demise of the Southern Tang Dynasty was not precisely because of the inaction of the Later Tang lord Li Yu, who was obsessed with pleasure, obsessed with poetry and song, although literary talent was superb, but in the end did not he also gain talent and lose the country?
What is the reason for the demise of the Great Qin Dynasty, the exploitation of Qin Shi Huang and Qin II, Qin Shi Huang exploited the common people to build the Great Wall, regardless of the lives and deaths of the people, and Qin II, even more tyrannically exploited the people, this Qin Dynasty, which should have been inherited from generation to generation, was not it also destroyed in the hands of Qin II?
And Song Jiang, Song Jiang, as the first leader of Liangshan, was weak and incompetent, only for the sake of his own interests, despite the opposition of his brothers, resolutely and resolutely chose to submit to the imperial court, and in the end, more than 70 brothers were killed, and the rest of the people were crippled and walked. And he himself ended up with the result of being given death.
Therefore, whether a team can really succeed, an important factor, is not still the leader, the leader decides whether a team is going to the right direction, determines the future of the team.
At the same time, if we, as leaders, in the face of the interests of the country and the collective, we should focus on the overall situation, abandon the ego, and not be affected by our own emotions, which will lead to the collapse of the whole group.
