In "Water Margin", except for Chao Gai, who died early, there are a total of 108 leaders on Liangshan. The reasons for the 108 heroes of Liangshan to go up the mountain are different, some are because they are desperate, such as Lin Chong and Yang Zhi, some people join from the small hill to the big mountain, such as Wu Song and Lu Zhishen, and some are because they were "forced to go to Liangshan" by Song Jiang.
In the process of Liangshan's development and growth in the early stage, Song Jiang often used some radical means to force people to Liangshan in order to recruit talents and absorb fierce generals. In Wu's words, this is "watch me earn him up the mountain". Today, "History Book Ling Xuan Pavilion" will use this article to tell the story of a fierce general who was forced by Song Jiang to Liangshan.
Liangshan Five Tiger Generals
People always use "forced to go to Liangshan" to describe their helplessness, in fact, let's think about it carefully, there are not many people who were really "forced to go to Liangshan" by Song Jiang in "Water Margin", and most people can choose. Among the five tiger generals in Liangshan, there was actually only one who was really forced to Liangshan by Song Jiang.
We all know that the five tiger generals of Liangshan are Dadao Guan Sheng, Leopard Head Lin Chong, Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, Double Spear General Dong Ping and Double Whip Hu Yanzhuo. Among them, Guan Sheng, Dong Ping, and Hu Yanzhuo were all demoted generals, and they themselves chose to return to Song Jiang and join Liangshan.
Why did Lin Chong go to Liangshan? Lin Chong was because he had stabbed Lu Qian and Fu'an in the mountain temple, and he was cornered and had nowhere to go. Lin Chong was forced to Liangshan by his own fate, and it had nothing to do with Song Jiang. When Lin Chong went to Liangshan, Song Jiang was still serving as a priest in Yuncheng! Qin Ming was different, he was also a general.
Although Qin Ming was caught by Song Jiang with a scheme, Qin Ming was unwilling to submit to Song Jiang, and he insisted on his principles. But Song Jiang is not a humble gentleman: "Since Qin Ming doesn't want to go to Liangshan, then I will cut off all your retreats!" Although Qin Ming has more backbone than Guan Sheng and Dong Ping, he also paid a very big price for it.
Thunderbolt fire Qin Ming
In "Water Margin", Qin Ming was originally under the command of the Qingzhou Command Division, he was like fire, impatient and reckless, and the weapon in his hand was a mace. Most of us have an impression of Qin Ming as "well-developed limbs, simple mind, and easy to do things impulsively." ”
Indeed, Qin Ming often falls for tricks in "Water Margin". For example, when he fought Zhujiazhuang three times, he could have taken Luan Tingyu with Qin Ming's martial arts, but Qin Ming fell for Luan Tingyu's plan to lure the enemy, and finally he fell into the trap and was captured alive. In addition, before Qin Ming went to Liangshan, he was also captured alive by Song Jiang with a trick.
In "Water Margin", because Wang Ying and Yan Shun of Qingfeng Village rescued Song Jiang and Hua Rong from Huang Xin, Huang Xin had to turn to his boss Qin Ming for help. Qin Ming was furious when he heard this, and he immediately led his army to attack Qingfeng Mountain.
At the beginning, the two armies faced each other, and Hua Rong played against Qin Ming, and the two ended up drawing in fifty rounds. Judging from this battle, Hua Rong not only has superb archery, but also melee marksmanship. In order to deter Qin Ming, Hua Rong shot Qin Ming's helmet with an arrow, so frightened that Qin Ming did not dare to fight again.
Song Jiang saw that Qin Ming's martial arts were extraordinary and he was a rare fierce general, so he fell in love with talents. Song Jiang used the "water trapping strategy", he used the terrain and sluice gates of Qingfeng Mountain to trap Qin Ming in the stream, thus capturing Qin Ming alive. After Qin Ming was captured alive, Song Jiang was very humble, and he called himself a "villain". When Song Jiang persuaded Qin Ming to surrender, Qin Ming was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he rejected Song Jiang in one mouth. In the original work of "Water Margin", Qin Ming said:
"Qin Mingsheng was a native of the Great Song Dynasty and died as a ghost of the Great Song Dynasty. The imperial court taught me to be the chief of soldiers and horses, and to be the official of the commander, and I have never lost Qin Ming, how can I be willing to be a strong man and turn my back on the imperial court! When you all want to kill, kill me. ”
Therefore, "History Book Ling Xuan Ge" believes that although Qin Ming is reckless, he is the most backbone of the five tiger generals of Liangshan. Song Jiang saw that Qin Ming's attitude was so resolute, he did not continue to persuade him to surrender, but talked to Qin Ming and drunk Qin Ming.
Qin Ming's alcohol consumption is obviously not as good as Wu Song, and Wu Song can still fight tigers after drinking eighteen bowls. By the time Qin Ming woke up, it was already the second day, and what Qin Ming didn't know was that in the half day and night when he was drunk, Song Jiang cut off all his retreats.
Song Jiang is simply the benchmark figure of "thick-faced and black-hearted" in "Water Margin". On this side he drunk Qin Ming, and on the other side he ordered Wang Ying, Yan Shun and others to put on the clothes of court soldiers and break into the city of Qingzhou and burn them.
The prefect of Qingzhou City, Murong Governor, mistakenly thought that Qin Ming had surrendered to Song Jiang and was now helping Song Jiang to attack the city, so he beheaded Qin Ming's family in a fit of rage. When Qin Ming returned to Qingzhou City after sobering up, he saw that his wife's head had been hung on the city's head, and his home had been burned to the ground.
Just when Qin Ming was bent on seeking death, Song Jiang appeared with Hua Rong and others. Song Jiang took Hua Rong and several other heroes to kneel down to admit their mistakes to Qin Ming on the spot, he said: "
The manager is not to blame. Yesterday, because he was in the mountain, he insisted on refusing, but it was Song Jiang who came up with this plan, so that the pawn looked like the chief manager, but he wore the chief manager's armor and helmet, rode the horse, and went straight to the city of Qingzhou. Therefore, he killed people and set fires, and first gave up the idea of returning to the governor. Today people are guilty of special sin. ”
followed Song Jiang up the mountain and became one of the Five Tiger Generals
If you were Qin Ming, the thunderbolt in "Water Margin", what would you do in the face of Song Jiang who knelt down and admitted his mistakes? The author can't figure out why Song Jiang's methods are so ruthless, why does he have the nickname of "timely rain" on the rivers and lakes?
Qin Ming chose to follow Song Jiang up the mountain and return to Song Jiang. Qin Ming's reasons are threefold: "One is that the stars in the upper realm are in harmony, the second is that they are soft and treat them with courtesy, and the third is that they are afraid of fighting them." In this way, Qin Ming forgave Song Jiang, and Song Jiang also married Hua Rong's sister Xu to Qin Ming.
Since then, Qin Ming has fought for the Song River in the east and west, and has made great achievements. When he was seated in Liangshan, Qin Ming was named one of the "Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan" by Song Jiang. Seeing this, some readers will wonder, Qin Ming was ruined by Song Jiang, why didn't he dare to take revenge, and obediently followed Song Jiang to Liangshan?
When it comes to means and the city, Song Jiang has a good time in the Water Margin, and adopts different strategies for different people. A person like Qin Ming is not Li Kui's little brother who is satisfied with a little wine and meat. Qin Ming wants to have status, he wants a family to have a family, and his wallet is bulging, and he is still a master of fighting. If it were you, how would you subdue him?
Song Jiang's approach, will the prefect not understand? Just kidding, people's hearts are like mirrors. But why don't you forgive Qin Ming? Who will shoulder this responsibility? Who will arrest him? Will he really attack Song Jiang? Wouldn't that be a slap in the mouth and admit that he has no way to discipline him? Therefore, he can only let Qin Ming be a "man who carries the blame" and report to the court that he has defected.
Song Jiang did this to tell everyone: Look, this is my means, just rely on my Hei Saburo's status in the rivers and lakes, and give me some respect in the future. Qin Ming can get into this position, can he not understand these rules? Everyone is a smart person, Hua Rong's sister marries Qin Ming, will Hua Rong be unhappy? Give Song Jiang face, everyone will be easy to do things in the future, Qin Ming also took advantage of the situation to find a step down.
