There is such a description in the original work of Water Margin: "Zhang Shun and other nine people, Chao Gai and other seventeen people, Song Jiang, Dai Zong, Li Kui, a total of twenty-nine people, all entered the White Dragon Temple to gather. This is called the 'White Dragon Temple Small Gathering'. ”
The author has read several versions of the Water Margin, and the text is all "small gatherings", and the chapters and directories are all "small gatherings", so many people think that the gathering of the twenty-nine people should be called "small gatherings", which is second only to "one hundred singles and eight generals gathering righteousness" An activity that determines the fate of Liangshan.
Shi Nai'an deliberately emphasized that these twenty-nine people came from three different aspects, which of course had profound meanings, and also laid the groundwork for Chao Gai's death later: including Chao Gai Song Jiang and the tailor gibbon Hou Jian, who joined later, the thirty "Liangshan heroes" who participated in the party and ate that meal deserved to die, but a few of them died too late.
After eating that meal, Zhu Gui and Song Wan of Yunli King Kong returned to Liangshan first to report the news, and asked the remaining Zhiduoxing Wu Yong and the leopard head Lin Chong to prepare for the response, and the twenty-eight people who returned from Jiangzhou in five groups were Chao Gai, Timely Rain, Song Jiang, Xiao Li Guanghuarong, Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong, Black Whirlwind Li Kui, Red-haired Ghost Liu Tang, Touching Tian Du Qian, Shi General Shi Yong, Sick Insect Xue Yong, Gibbon Hou Jian, Mixed River Dragon Li Jun, Urging Judge Li Li, Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang, Sai Rengui Guo Sheng, Out of the Cave Jiao Tong Wei, Turning the River Mirage Tong Meng, Zhensanshan Huang Xin, Chuanhuo'er Zhang Heng, Langli Baitiao Zhang Shun, Lidi Tai Sui Ruan Xiaoer, short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaowu, Living Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi, Jinmao Tiger Yanshun, Bantam Tiger Wang Ying, Mu Hong, Xiao Sha Mu Chun, White-faced Langjun Zheng Tianshou, White Day Rat Bai Sheng.
We should be glad that the more innocent leopard head Lin Chong, Liangshan Daxia Hua monk Lu Zhishen, and walker Wu Song did not attend the party, nor did they participate in the creepy dinner.
Readers who are familiar with the original work of the Water Margin of course still remember that the black whirlwind Li Kui did not fight the officials and soldiers when he robbed the law field in Jiangzhou, but only cut off the heads of the people, Chao Gai shouted to stop him from killing innocents indiscriminately, Li Kui turned a deaf ear and did not take Chao Gai in his eyes at all.
After robbing Song Jiang, the heroes "outwitted the Wuwei Army" and captured Huang Wenbing alive, and then made it into a barbecue, before and during the barbecue banquet, the "Liangshan heroes" finally showed their true colors as a "magic star": "Li Kui said: 'My brother and I cut this guy with my hands! I see that he is obese, but it is good to cook and eat. Chao Gai said: "That's right." Teach me to bring a sharp knife, and ask for a pot of coals, and cut it carefully, and burn it for wine, and quench this grievance with my virtuous brother!'...... (Li Kui) cut the sharp knife from (Huang Wenbing's) leg first, and the selected one was burned on the charcoal fire in front of the wine. Cut a piece, burn a piece, and when there is no piece, cut Huang Wenbing. Li Kui cut his chest with the knife, took out his heart and liver, and used it to make sobering soup with the leaders. ”
Of course, the new version of the TV series is to say good things for Song Jiang, so it just ended when he stabbed Huang Wenbing, and Huang Wenbing's eldest brother Huang Wenye pleaded for mercy while beating and scolding Huang Wenbing.
Huang Wenye's beating and scolding of his younger brother was actually done for Chao Gai Song Jiang and others to see, and this hand is often used by many parents who cause trouble to their children, and Huang Wenbing's unyielding confession, readers will definitely have different opinions after listening to it: "Song Jiang inscribed anti-poems is rebellion, collusion with thieves is rebellion, I, as a general judge, as a local parent official, am I turning a blind eye? He pretends to be crazy and stupid, am I wrong to expose him? Although I am only a general judgment, the court has no regard for me, I am kind to the Huang family, can I meet Song Jiang, a thief, ignore him and connive at him against the imperial court? Song Jiang, today I fell into the hands of thieves such as you, count me unlucky, if you are a man, give me a good time!"
If the double whip Hu Yanzhuo, the beautiful bearded man Zhu Tong, and the winged tiger Lei Heng heard Huang Wenbing's words, I don't know if they would be ashamed to find a crack in the ground to get into, anyway, Song Jiang in the new version of the TV series pulled out the sharp knife on the meat case and stabbed it, just like killing Yan Po Xi without mercy.
Of course, Huang Wenbing didn't say this in the original work of Water Margin, and Song Jiang didn't do anything with it, but feasted with the "heroes", and even Chao Gai, the king of Tota who we have always been more optimistic about, is also the connivance and participant of this feast of exterminating humanity.
The three thieves of Qingfeng Mountain are habitual offenders who eat people's hearts and sober soup, and the six people who are known as the three tyrants of Jieyang Town are also accustomed to fish and meat in the township, and Song Jiang was almost beaten when he passed by Jieyang Town.
The hotel opened by Zhu Gui in the dry land was the same "business" as Zhang Qingsun Erniang, and Dai Zong, the Shenxing Taibao, was almost dismantled by him.
After taking stock in this way, the thirty "Liangshan heroes" who participated in the "Huang Ji Barbecue" really don't have a few good people, compared with these people, Gao Yanei, Gao Yanei, the son of Gao Yanei, who was killed by the heroes of Liangshan, Zheng Tu of Zhenguanxi, Cui Daocheng, the pig iron Buddha, Qiu Xiaoyi, Flying Yaksha Qiu Xiaoyi, Optimus Prime Ren Yuan, and Jiang Zhong, the god of Jiangmen, seem to be all trivial.
After eating that "Huang Ji barbecue", the nature of the "Liangshan heroes" has changed, or the nature of the "Liangshan Army" has changed, and it is no longer like Chao Gai's advertised "loyalty and righteousness, benevolence and virtue to the people".
Song Jiang moved in, and Liangshan changed its taste. In fact, before Song Jiang went home to "surrender" and looked forward to returning to Yuncheng to enjoy happiness after the expiration of his exile, he had already killed the people outside Qingzhou City, and at that time, the "Yellow Nest Seed" in Song Jiang's heart had already begun to sprout - the Yellow Nest in the "Old Tang Book" was as vicious as Song Jiang: "Surrounded Chen County for 100 days, there was still no cultivation in Kanto, people were hungry and leaned against the walls, thieves captured people and ate, killing thousands of people a day." The thief has a grinding stone, hundreds of huge stones, and the people are crushed in the mortar, and the bones are eaten. ”
Song Jiang's anti-poem, in Huang Wenbing's eyes, is naturally to arouse vigilance, as a "casual judgment", Huang Wenbing's report to the government is a natural thing, if the officials of the Song Dynasty are as responsible as him, the life of the common people may be better, if they are like Song Jiang and Zhu Tong to report to the robbers and murderers or let them go privately, the Song Dynasty will definitely have no future.
Whether the Song Dynasty needs more Huang Wenbing or more Song Jiang, readers have their own clear judgments on this question, let's take a look at the endings of these thirty "Liangshan heroes".
One hundred and eight generals in Liangshan, 59 were killed in the battle of Zhengfangla, 10 died of illness, three were poisoned by the imperial court and Song Jiang, two were hanged, and among the last surviving Liangshan heroes, those who participated in the "Huangji barbecue" were the living Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi, the small shading Mu Chun, the mixed river dragon Li Jun, the cave Jiao Tongwei, the mirage Tong Meng, the Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong, and the Zhensanshan Huang Xin.
Three of these seven people are kings and generals overseas, Dai Zong is said to have become a god, Ruan Xiaoqi's life span is not short, Huang Xin and Mu Chun no longer care in the end, it is estimated that one continues to be an official, the other continues to dominate, or does his nature not change, when the Jin soldiers go south, will he be the same traitor as Li Kui in the historical materials, no one knows - Li Kui in the historical materials later became a "music general festival level", and the gold was reduced after killing the chief.
In the author's opinion, the real late deaths were still timely rain Song Jiang and black whirlwind Li Kui, they actually served as "court officials" for a period of time: Song Jiang was named the doctor of Wude, the pacification envoy of Chuzhou, and the head of the soldiers and horses.
Song Jiang and Li Kui's life was really too comfortable, and the hundreds of residents who were slaughtered outside Qingzhou and all the old and weak women and children in Hujiazhuang must be difficult to look at.
It is difficult to answer the question of whether Ruan Xiaoqi and the others died late, but Song Jiang and Li Kui did die too late: If Song Jiang had colluded with Chao Gai to kill him in the east window, he would have been sentenced by the Ming Dynasty, the Qingzhou Bloody Case would not have happened, and the thunderbolt fire would not have killed Qin Ming's entire family; if Li Kui had been drowned in the Xunyang River by Zhang Shun, the Flying Tiger Hu Cheng and Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang would not have lost their parents and fellow villagers.
The author is not a good reader, and the "Liangshan heroes" who participated in the "Huang Ji barbecue" may still have "survivors" who should have died a long time ago, and the omissions must be supplemented and evaluated by the readers: In your opinion, from Chao Gai to Bai Sheng, who among the 30 cannibalistic "Liangshan heroes" can be regarded as heroes? Which of them died too late?
