Lin Chong is a heavyweight figure in the Water Margin Good Han, as the leader of the 800,000 Forbidden Army in Tokyo, although the rank is not necessarily too high, after all, he is a staff member of the highest military organ. He appears early and persists until the end of the story, as a character throughout.

To explain here, the so-called 800,000 forbidden army leader does not mean that he is in charge of the 800,000 forbidden army, but that there are 800,000 forbidden troops, and he is a godhead in the forbidden army. There were many leaders in the Forbidden Army, and he was not the only one.

As soon as Lin Chong appeared, it was tragic. He accompanied his wife to the Dongyue Temple to burn incense, and casually went to the residence of Lu Zhishen in jianbi to practice martial arts, but unexpectedly, in the temple over there, his own mother was teased by Gao Yu's dry son Gao Yannei.

This Yue Temple is not a temple to commemorate Yue Fei, but a Temple of Dongyue. Yue Fei was a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the establishment of a temple for him was a matter after the Southern Song Dynasty. So, how did the Yue Temple, which is dedicated to Taishan, appear in Tokyo? This is because successive emperors have honored the god of the five mountains, and Taishan is the first of the five mountains, so special attention is paid to the shrine of the god Taishan, which also affects the belief of the people. People far away from Tai'an, in order to facilitate the worship, built the Dongyue Temple in the local area. Therefore, there are Dongyue Temples everywhere. The Yue Temple that Lin Niangzi went to was naturally not the Yue Temple in Tai'an, but the Yue Temple in Tokyo. We say that this Yue Temple is the Dongyue Temple, and there is also evidence that when Wang Jin said that he went to this temple to burn incense, he mentioned paying homage to King Liu Li. "Liu Li Wang", not three surnames, but two gods, in the Dongyue Temple, one is Liu Junwang, the other is Li Junwang, although they are all subordinates of Dongyue Gods, but the county officials are not as good as the current management, people often burn incense to Liu and Li two county kings.

"Water Margin" writes that this temple is outside the sour date gate. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Tokyo had two sour jujube gates, one was the north gate of the inner city, called the old sour jujube gate, and the other was the north gate of the outer city, called the new sour jujube gate, and the names of these two gates were folk customs. The Yue Temple written in "Water Margin" is not clear outside which sour jujube door. We just need to know that "Water Margin" is written outside the door of the sour date, and moreover, several times I write about this place, I am right. For example, when Lu Zhishen first came to the Great Xiangguo Temple and studied what he was asked to do in the temple, someone proposed that the vegetable garden outside the sour date gate could be managed by him. Wang jin fled to Yan'an Province, and in order to avoid the two card troops sent by the Dian Shuai Mansion to listen to Hou Zhi's envoys, he also mentioned that he should first go to the Yue Temple outside the sour jujube gate to prepare. Lin Chong accompanied the lady to the Yue Temple to offer incense, and it was clearly pointed out that Lu Zhishen's vegetable garden was next door to the Yue Temple.

Lin Niangzi was teased by Gao Ya and could not get out, making the female Jin'er unable to find Lu Zhi in a hurry. Lin Chong hurriedly bid farewell to Lu Zhishen, came to the temple, and grabbed the person who was teasing his wife and was about to beat him, but found that this person was actually Gao Yanei. Lin Chong considered that he was a subordinate of Gao Taiwei and was afraid of offending Gao Li, so he suppressed this matter. The modern literary master Zhang Hexhui said that Lin Chong is not as good as Wang Jin, wang Jin is a good man, and if he gets along, he will follow suit, and if he can't go far and fly high, he will never bend down in front of the magnates, but Lin Chong can't do this. However, we know that Lin Chong has lin chong's character, he can endure, he is reluctant to have that good job, he is reluctant to that warm little family, he wants to use his own patience to preserve the life he shares with his wife. However, these ideas of his were finally shattered.

Gao Yanei was bent on getting Lady Lin, and he didn't think about tea and dinner, at this time, the villain had the opportunity to be flattered. Fu'an, a floating prodigal disciple, took the initiative to come up with a bad idea. Fu'an first asked Lu Yuhou to pretend to be a guest and led Lin Chong to Fan Lou, and then, tricking Lady Lin into saying that Lin Chong could not come up with illness while eating alcohol and getting sick at Lu Yuhou's house, and the situation was very critical, so that Lin Niangzi quickly went to Lu Yuhou's house, and had already been waiting here for Gao Ya to insult Lady Lin. This matter was discovered by the envoy daughter Jin'er, who found Fan Lou to tell Lin Chong, and Lin Chong rushed to Lu Yuhou's house to rescue the mother. When Gao Yannei saw Lin rushing forward, he jumped out of the window in fright and fled. Lin Chong hurriedly asked Lady Lin, "Didn't you rape him?" Lin Niangzi said, "No." Lin Chong was very angry, feeling that this Lu Qian, who had been good to him since childhood, was really unforgivable, so he smashed some things in his home and went to Fan Lou with a knife to find Lu Qian. Lu Qian had already escaped, where else could he find it! Lin Chong had no choice but to return home sadly.

Lu Ming's column | Lin Chong, who was forced to liangshan

Here's an introduction to Fan Lou. Meng Yuanlao's "Tokyo Dream Record" records the cities, streets, rivers, buildings, customs and customs of Tokyo during the Song Zhengzong period, and clearly writes that the White Alum Tower, which is not far from the southeast corner of the Ouchi, is very famous, but it is not written about fan lou. Alum Building, referred to as Alum Building. The alum character is written in a wide range of characters, with the surname Fan above being "Fan" and the stone "Stone" below. Come to think of it, this Fan Lou is the White Alum Building, when the ancient book is engraved, the stone characters in the lower part of the alum character are omitted. This alum building is very grand and famous in Tokyo.

After Lin Chong returned home, he began a few days, very bored, and looked everywhere for Lu Qian to retaliate. In order to relieve Lin Chong's boredom, Lu Zhishen came to accompany him every day to find a place to eat and drink, and Lin Chong's heart of revenge was also weakened.

Lin Chong was discouraged, but Gao Yan was not finished. Fu'an came again to make it bad, and he and Lu Qian gave Gao Yannei a worse idea, telling Gao Qi that if he wanted to fulfill Gao Yanei's wishes, he would have to find a way to kill Lin Chong. Thus, a criminal conspiracy was launched under the operation of Gao Qi and the like. They first sent a person, pretending to be in a hurry to ask for money, and took a sword and deliberately sold it in front of Lin Chong. Lin Chong liked it, and he bought the sword cheaply, which was naturally trapped. The next day, the two chengju came to tell Lin Chong that Lieutenant Gao had heard that Lin Chong had bought a treasure sword and asked Lin Chong to go to the mansion to test and test, and when Lin Chong walked to the White Tiger Festival Hall where Lieutenant Gao was working, the two Chengju pulled away, and Gao Taiyu said that Lin Chong had broken into the White Tiger Festival Hall with a knife, intending to murder The Lieutenant and fall for the crime of Yin Zhi Lin Chong of kaifeng.

Fortunately, there was a fair and kind Kong Mu Sun Ding under Teng Fuyin, who saw at a glance that Lin Chong had been wronged and persuaded Fu Yin to exonerate Lin Chong. He knows that gao liquan is leaning toward the opposition, and in the case arranged by gao, it is impossible to convict you of innocence, but he can wipe the side ball and find a reason to fall lightly. In the end, lin chong was only charged with breaking into the Taiwei mansion with a knife, and Lin Chong was given twenty rods and sent to Cangzhou.

There were two messengers escorting Lin Chong, one named Dong Chao and the other xue ba. When they escorted Lin Chong out, Lin Chong's father-in-law and relatives, friends and neighbors came to see him off. Lin Chong's father-in-law, Zhang Jiaotou, gave the two dukes five or two pieces of silver each, which was a point. Lin Chong told his father-in-law that his fate was not good, he had evil lieutenant Gao, and he could not rest assured after the distribution, for fear of affecting the mother, he was willing to write a letter of resignation, let the mother remarry, and never regret it. His father-in-law advised him not to worry, he could take his daughter and daughter Jin'er home, be able to feed them, and never let Gao Yunei succeed. Lin Chong still insisted on writing, saying that it was for the good of Lin Niangzi. The father-in-law could not twist him, so he had to say, you write yours, I will not let my daughter remarry, just wait for you to come back to reunite. In this case, Lin Chong wrote a letter of resignation. When Lady Lin saw Hugh Shu, she was devastated and swore that she was Lin Chong's person alive and died as Lin Chong's ghost.

Dong Chao Xue Ba took Lin Chong into custody for a while, went home to deliver the silver given by Zhang Jiaotou, and when he returned, Lu Qian was already waiting at the alley entrance, called them to a hotel, and gave them five or two pieces of silver each, indicating that Gao Taiwei meant that lin Chong's life would be killed on the road. Dong Chao Xue Ba was bad enough, and Xue Ba was even worse. Dong Chao hesitated at first, but Xue Ba said that if Gao Taiwei could not do what he had to do, he had to accept the silver. He assured Lu Qian that the short one would be two stations, and the long one would be three or five stops, and that he would make things a reply to Lu Qian. In this way, Lin Chong's doom came again.

In order to facilitate the attack, they deliberately tortured Lin Chong. In a hotel, Xue Ba deliberately used very hot water to slam Lin Chong's feet, making Lin Chong's feet full of bubbles. Then, let him wear rough straw shoes, so that Lin Chong's feet were covered with blood, and it was difficult to move forward in pain. When they came to the wild boar forest, Dong Chao Xue Ba was about to strike. Wild boar forest, some people say it is Cangzhou, this is not right. Because they only walk thirty miles a day, they walk here for three or four days. In the book, it is only written that it is the road to Cangzhou, which is still far away from Cangzhou. The book explains that this forest has previously resulted in the lives of many people, which shows that it is not only Lin Chong who was killed, which further illustrates the darkness of the society at that time.

Dong Chao Xue Ba pretended to be afraid of Lin Chong's escape, and Lin Chong said that he was originally a good person, and he also wanted to serve his sentence well, and he would never run away. The two gongren said that they were still not at ease, and they wanted to tie Lin Chong to the tree, and Lin Chong let them tie up. However, after being tied up, Dong Chao Xue Ba immediately showed a fierce face. It was still this Xue Ba, who viciously told Gao Taiwei about lin chong's intention to kill him, and said to Lin Chong, "Today next year is your sacrifice day." Although Lin Chong rescued the situation and asked them to let themselves go, these two people still wanted to harm Lin Chong. Just when Xue Ba raised the water and fire stick to kill Lin Chong, he saw a big man behind the tree take a Zen staff to beat the water and fire stick away, and then hit the two evil people, only under lin chong's persuasion, he stopped. This person is Lu Zhishen. Lu Zhishen was in Tokyo, and he heard that Lin Chong had been sent to Cangzhou and had not found Lin Chong when he went to Kaifeng Province, he sensed that someone was secretly arranging something, and suspected that the evil people were harming Lin Chong, so he followed all the way, and wherever Lin Chong and Cha stayed, he lived wherever he lived, secretly monitoring the situation. After Xue Ba used boiling water to burn Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen saw it, and he wanted to punish these two guys at that time, but he was afraid of being blocked by everyone before he did not shoot. This time, he first went to the wild boar forest to wait, wanting the lives of these two males, but seeing that these two males wanted to harm Lin Chong, he stepped forward to save people. He was afraid that the two gongren would have evil intentions again, so he sent Lin Chong to the vicinity of Cangzhou all the time, and saw that the crowds were dense and there was no danger before leaving.

Before arriving at Cangzhou Prison City, Lin Chong first met Chai Daguanren. Received warm hospitality and silver reception from Chai Officials. Chai Daguan's name was Chai Jin, and he was a large household in Henghai County, Cangzhou. Cangzhou was historically the county seat of Bohai County. Whether there is a Yokokai-gun, it is difficult to say. We just need to know that it is Cangzhou. Chai Jin's ancestor was the Emperor of Later Zhou in the Fifth Dynasty, and the Song Taizu Zhao Boxin launched a mutiny at Chen Bridge, and the yellow robe was added, changing Later Zhou into the Great Song. In return, he gave the little emperor of the Later Zhou Chai clan a Danshu iron coupon, so that he and his descendants had the right to be exempted from law. This Chai Jin made a special friendship with the world's good men, and anyone who committed a crime in Cangzhou would have to receive help, and this time Lin Chong came, he naturally wanted to help. In order for Lin Chong to not suffer in prison, Chai Lin also wrote a letter to the management camp, opened the back door, and interceded.

When he arrived at the prison, Lin Chong had two silver gifts sent by Chai jin to manage the camp and the messenger, and then added the letter, and got a relatively good errand, that is, to take care of the Heavenly King Hall. Every day, just burn incense, sweep the floor, and you can do it. Some people will ask, where is the distribution place, how can there still be a Heavenly King Hall? What god is this Heavenly King's Hall dedicated to? Because the prison camp was managed by the Van Army, and the Van Army was organized by the troops, therefore, the army respected the Heavenly King, which was a consistent example of the Tang and Song Dynasties. The Heavenly King, that is, the Buddhist Vishamon, in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, in the battle with the Fan soldiers, there were monks who said that there was Vishamen on the battlefield, and the Tang army was victorious, so the imperial court believed that this heavenly king was the protector of the army, and built a temple in the army to pay homage to him.

What "Water Margin" wants to show is that Lin Chong is forced again and again by Gao Li and his gang. First, he was accused of murder, and he tried to sentence Lin Chong to death without success. Therefore, he came to the second force, sent people on the road to end his life, and did not expect to be saved by Lu Zhishen. Now, they want to do the third force. Gao Li sent Lu Qian and Fu An to Cangzhou and asked Guan Ying to send Lin Chong to the hay field and burn him to death. "Water Margin" wrote that the hay field is fifteen miles east of Cangzhou City, the east half of the hay field has a mountain temple, and the mountain temple is two or three miles east of the mountain temple. Cangzhou is at the tail end of the alluvial plain, and large plants such as reeds grow near the sea, and it is very likely that the army set up hay fields here. It's just this thousand miles of great plains, where are the mountains? Where is the mountain temple without mountains? Cangzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty, north to Tianjin, south to Wudi, called the mountain, there are only two places, one is the Tugangzi in Haixing County, called a small mountain; one is the crater ruins of Wudi County, called dashan, the mountain is not large, only more than 60 meters high. (Wudi now belongs to Shandong Province).) Some say that the mountain temple is in these two places. However, the mountain temple is probably only written by the author of "Water Margin" according to the needs of the storyline, and he may not be really familiar with the situation in Cangzhou in the Song Dynasty. When the reader, just need to experience the atmosphere created by the novel, you can.

This night, Lin Chong was in the hay field. The house was exposed to the wind everywhere, and the cold could not stand up, so he went to the village in the east to drink wine. When I came back, I found that the grass hall where I lived had been crushed by heavy snow, so I had no choice but to go to the mountain temple to stay for a while. It was also at this time that Lu Qianfu'an and the messenger of the prison city set fire to the hay field. When Lin Chong learned of this, he was furious and killed the three of them at once. At this time, he was already cornered, so he had to take the letter of the Chai official and run to Liangshan in the snowy night.

Unexpectedly, in Liangshan, Wang Lun, who was the king of Zhanshan, was unwilling to accept him, for fear that he would seize his position with high martial arts, but under the joint persuasion of Zhu Gui, Du Qian, and Song Wan, he reluctantly agreed, and let Lin Chong submit his name within three days. To cast a name is to kill a person first and offer it. Lin Chong was the one who did such a kind of hurtful thing, but he was forced to be helpless and had no choice but to admit it. On the first day, not a single figure was encountered; the next day, when they met, they were accompanied by more than three hundred people, unable to get their hands on it. On the third day, waiting until noon, before encountering, Lin Chong wanted to give up, but came to Yang Zhi. Lin Chong and Yang Zhi fought for dozens of rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. At this time, Wang Lun wanted to put Lin Chong Yang Zhi into the gang together and contain each other. Yang Zhi still wanted to return to Tokyo to seek reinstatement, but he left.

Later, Chao Gai and others robbed the Birthday Gang and came to Liangshan, and Wang Lun repeated the old technique, or speculated that Liangshan was small and could not hold so many people. At this time, Lin Chong couldn't help it, and under the agitation of Wu Yong and others, he killed Wang Lun and embraced Chao Gai as the lord of the cottage.

Lin Chong, this person, was originally an officer, had a comfortable life, he did not want to lose such a life, so he was dedicated, cautious in his work, tolerant of things, and endured again and again. However, he was a hero after all, and when he couldn't bear it any longer, he struck out, killing Lu Qian and killing Wang Lun all reflected this, that is, when he was in a hurry, he would always resist.

Lin Chong is the leader of Liangshan General, who is highly skilled in martial arts, goes up the mountain early, and has the merit of standing. Whether it was in the battle of the officers' army, the conquest of Liao, or the battle against Fang La, he charged into the battlefield and repeatedly made meritorious achievements. After the conquest of Fangla, he suffered from wind paralysis and died in Hangzhou.
