After Song Jiang and Wu Yong led Liangshan, in order to further expand the scale of Liangshan, they used the method of "counting money" to recruit many good men to the mountain. Many people may wonder, what exactly does this "counting" mean? In fact, the so-called "counting and earning" of Song Jiang and others is the meaning of design deception, and to put it bluntly, it is a pit and abduction. In the middle and late development of Liangshan, Song Jiang and Wu successfully forced many good men to abandon their families and businesses to Liangshan in this way.
For example, Lu Junyi, the erzhai lord of Liangshan, was pit up the mountain by Wu Yong and others. There is also Li Ying, who is in charge of money and grain on Liangshan, who was actually tricked into going up the mountain by Song Jiang and others. The reason why Song Jiang wanted to trick Li Ying into going up the mountain, in addition to wanting to pull him into the company, there was also a reason that he took a fancy to Li Jiazhuang's wealth. Originally, Lu Junyi and Li Ying were living the life of rich people, and after meeting Song Jiang and others, they became green forest thieves in confusion, and all this was actually not their intention.
According to the normal way of thinking, whether it is Lu Junyi or Li Ying, since they were abducted and deceived by Song Jiang and others to Liangshan, even if they did not seek revenge on Song Jiang afterwards, they would definitely be furious, why did they later not blame Song Jiang, but were willing to serve for Liangshan? This point is actually the strangest place in the Water Margin, the two sides obviously have a deep hatred, but in the blink of an eye, they quickly turn enemies into friends.
For example, Lu Junyi, who was originally a rich man in the Daimyo Province, also enjoyed a high reputation in the jianghu and lived a dashing and happy life. It was only because Song Jiang needed Lu Junyi to support Liangshan and saw his prestige in the jianghu, so he tried every means to trick him into Liangshan. In this process, Lu Junyi did not suffer less, first by the government as a "collusion bandit", and later sentenced to capital punishment for killing the official. Although Liangshan eventually rescued Lu Junyi, he had gone from a rich man to a homeless man, and could only be forced to go to Liangshan and fall into the grass.
Li Ying's experience in going up the mountain was similar to that of Lu Junyi, who was initially resolutely unwilling to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, but because of Liangshan's scheming, they had to be forced to fall into the grass in the end. Moreover, in order to force Li Ying to go up the mountain, Liangshan not only abducted all his family members, but also burned down Li Jiazhuang. What is even more ironic is that after Li Ying went up the mountain, instead of blaming Song Jiang and others, he had to be grateful to them.
Whether it was Lu Junyi or Li Ying, the culprits who caused them to go up the mountain were Song Jiang and Wu Yong. In terms of the relationship between the two sides, Song Jiang and Wu Yong caused their family to be destroyed, and there can be said to be a great hatred between the two sides. However, whether it was Lu Junyi or Li Ying, after they promised to go up the mountain, they never showed the slightest intention of revenge, which was very inconsistent with the character personality before they went up the mountain. Moreover, it is surprising that the two sides can quickly turn enemies into friends.
In addition to Lu Junyi's good li ying, there was also a deep hatred between Hu Sanniang and Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others, and not only was her whole family killed by Li Kui, but even Li Kui's family was burned down by Li Kui. However, because Li Kui was a concubine of Song Jiang, he was not punished in the slightest, and Li Kui, who had made such a heinous mistake, was only verbally punished by Song Jiang for eating a few glasses of wine. Later, Song Jiang gave the marriage of the third lady to Wang Ying, which was simply playing the piano.
There is also Qin Ming, the number one pioneer of Liangshan, who also has a bloody feud with Song Jiang, and his parents, wives and children are framed and killed by Song Jiang's design. What is puzzling is that after Qin Ming went to Liangshan, he did not remember Song Jiang at all, but instead acted as Song Jiang's thug, and every time Liangshan went out on a campaign, he volunteered to serve as a pioneer. From this point of view, it is really strange, even if it is a person who is open-minded, in the face of such a deep hatred, I am afraid that he will not be able to achieve the level of Qin Ming, right? Was it because Song Jiang promised to give Hua Rong's sister Xu to him? If it is only such a reason, it cannot be said.
There is obviously a deep hatred between the two sides, but in the blink of an eye, they turn into friends, and then they call brothers and brothers. Although it is said that the good man of Liangshan pays attention to righteousness, such a turn is really puzzling. Perhaps these good men who were deceived into going to Liangshan were also very helpless, if they did not take the initiative to turn enemies into friends with Song Jiang, I am afraid that they would be the next to fall.
Song Jiang and Wu Yong never left room for doing things, tricking people into going up the mountain without saying anything, and cutting off their back roads. Even if these good men are no longer willing to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, they can only choose to compromise in this situation that they have mistakenly boarded the thief's ship and have not yet retreated. As for the matter of revenge, it is even more unnecessary to think about it, and it would be good to save your own life. The reason why Liangshan ended up with a tragic ending is probably also very much related to Song Jiang's work of doing things too much, leaving no room for doing things as a person, and sooner or later one day he will suffer losses.
