The brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were expert hunters in Dengzhou and were the real peasants in the Liangshan rebel army. They are among the good men of Liangshan, and they are among the heavenly gangs.
Some people say that the contradiction between Xie Zhen Xiebao and Mao Taigong and others is a struggle between rural bullies. This may seem reasonable, but it is actually very wrong. The reason for the mistake is that it does not see through the nature of the event and confuses the right and wrong of the human world.
There are many jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards on the mountains outside Dengzhou City, and when they come out to hurt people, the prefect of Dengzhou detains hunters, and when the department commissioned a cane limit document to catch the big insects on the mountain in Dengzhou, and also looked up at the mountain before the mountain, the Lizheng family also wanted to catch tigers: the limit is not to be relieved of the officials, and the curse is not forgiven. Under such circumstances, Xie Zhen Xie Bao went up the mountain to hunt the tiger under pressure, day and night, and did not catch the tiger until the third night. Among them, the strength, the guilt, and the dangers can be imagined. However, Mao Taigong's family was greedy for merit, saying that the tiger was caught by their family, "Mao Zhongyi, the son of the old lady, first untied the big worm in the state," and took a bite back, falsely accusing Zhen and Xie Bao of wanting to rob their tiger, and also "brought a number of gong to catch Xie Zhen and Xie Bao." Xie Zhen Xie Bao was caught in the Mao family's plan, and he could not say anything and was imprisoned. In this regard, the Mao family is not good at giving up, and wants to use the relationship to put Zhen Xiebao to death: "These two men and women can't let him go!" It is better to have a result in him and avoid future troubles. "Isn't that infuriating?" Among them, there are both economic interests that are rewarded by the government and political interests that are praised by the officials and the people and sought after by society; such interests, which Mao Taigong has gained without work and have to take them for himself, are more profitable than exploitation, this is robbery, it is the loss of conscience, and it is an unreasonable and hegemonic act. Who wants to let others take away the fruits of giving up their lives and forgetting their deaths? Mao Taigong hooked up with the official government and regarded human life as a grass, and the arrogance of the criminal and evil forces was obvious.
Perhaps, in the presence of some cowardly people, fearing the prestige of Mao Taigong's family, they did not dare to ask for a tiger for his family, and it was enough to eat a dumb loss. But the Xie Zhen and Xie Bao brothers would not do this, they were straight and violent, and with their martial arts and strength, they were unwilling to eat this qu. It should be noted that this is not a dispute over unclear rights and interests, but a matter that both families are very clear about, and Xie Zhen Xiebao must argue on the basis of reason, to return what originally belonged to them, and to seek justice in the world. This reflects the heroic nature of the two brothers. The two of them, holding a steel fork in their hands, have great strength, and have no parents, wives and children, no burden, there is a sense of justice in their chests, and they naturally shoot when it is time to shoot. In the two of them, the dream of the weak to fight against the heroes is pinned on them.
Some people may say that Xie Zhen and Xie Bao can ask for the tiger, but they should not fight in the Mao family. People who understand the facts know that it is precisely because the Mao family is so reclusive that they can't say anything about it, and the dispute has occurred. Obviously, the Mao family relied on the tiger, but they insisted on not giving it, so why would the people who suffered losses not move the liver fire? In fact, before this, Xie Zhen XieBao had already spoken kindly to save Mao Taigong, shouting one uncle at a time, who would have thought that Mao Taigong was such a scoundrel!
To deal with things, we must first distinguish between right and wrong. The matter of discernment does not depend first on the cause of the problem. It is necessary to distinguish which party caused the incident and which side lost. Only in this way is genius clear and things are fair. If it weren't for Mao Taigong Lai Hu, the fight wouldn't have happened. If they had not persecuted Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, this fairness would not have been lost. The mao father and son colluded with Wang Kongmu to put Xie Zhen xiebao to death, reflecting the problem of rural bullies and judicial officials joining forces to create unjust cases. Whether it was the tiger who was first beaten by others, or later framed by the Mao family and put on death row, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were victims from beginning to end. They are exploited economically, politically oppressed, and judicially persecuted. Mao Zedong famously said: "Where there is oppression, there is resistance", Xie Zhen Xiebao's resistance to Mao Taigong and the like embodies the nature of justice.
Through the story of the Water Margin, we can see that it is inevitable for a person like Xie Zhen Xiebao to embark on the road of resistance under such a situation of wrongful persecution. In fact, their resistance is also very resolute, and their performance in the resistance struggle is also very outstanding. At the time of the prison robbery, "Xie Zhen XieBao lifted the shackles and drilled out of the prison eye, and was facing the Bao Jie level." Bao Jie was caught off guard and was beaten by Xie Bao's shackles, smashing the skull cover to pieces." How painful the rebellion after this oppression is! After being released from prison, they "killed Mao Taigong, Mao Zhongyi, and all the old and young, leaving no one behind", and "put a fire in the courtyard and burned it", which in the eyes of the good man of Liangshan, how relieved he was.
Some people criticize the Heroes of the Water Margin for countering violence with violence, which is a one-sided view of the problem and a complete lack of understanding of the complexity of social history. When social contradictions are triggered into a state of volcanic eruption, it is impossible to be gentle and frugal. This was true of the peasant wars of ancient times, and it is also true of revolutionary wars of modern times. As Mao Zedong said: "Revolution is not a treat for dinner, not a fuss." Hero Fight is not lady embroidery. The period of great turmoil is not as good as the peace and prosperity. A man who speaks of rules everywhere may be a good priest in peacetime, but he is definitely not a hero on the battlefield. Heroes have their own hero's temperament, and heroes have their own hero's growth trajectory.
People always pursue harmony rather than see fighting, but this does not mean that the wronged are hated and tolerated, but that a fair and rational social order needs to be established. Society is always fair, and there will never be a need for struggle, much less war. This is an ideal of human beings. May the human world get closer and closer to such ideals, may the tigers hit by the Treasures of Xie Zhen never be possessed by others, may people like Mao Taigong and Wang Kongmu all die, and may human life be like a soft song every day, and always have a beautiful poetry.
