The story in "Water Margin" is derived from the real history of the Song River Uprising at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and other things are interspersed in it, such as another uprising, the Fang La Uprising. In the book, Song Jiang confronted Fang La's forces and lost dozens of heroes and good men in Liangshan, which shows that Fang La's power cannot be underestimated, so in real history, who is more powerful between Fang La and Song Jiang? Which side will win the final victory? Let's take a look.
1. The ending in "Water Margin"
In "Water Margin", the good men of Liangshan come from different places, have different experiences, are oppressed, are forced to be helpless, and finally turn against Liangshan and become a member of the good men of Liangshan. But in the end, Song Jiang accepted the imperial court's invitation, there must be many people who held opposition, after all, before that, they confronted the imperial court, whether they were encircled or suppressed, or they took the initiative to attack, even after the recruitment, it was invincible, only when fighting Fang La, they lost more than half.
After the conquest of Fang La, the good han of Liangshan lost a total of fifty-nine people, plus ten sick and dead, a total of sixty-nine people, and only thirty-nine people remained. The novel is written in a bit of an evil way, there are so many good men in Liangshan, other times there is not a single one dead, only when facing Fang La, there are so many deaths and injuries, I have to make people feel very curious about Fang La. In history, there was also a real Fang La uprising, so how powerful was this Fang La? What about the real Strength of Song Jiang?
2. The real history of Song Jiang Fangla
The real Song Jiang, indeed gathered in Liangshan Po uprising, but at that time there were only thirty-six people, "Water Margin" added too much artistic imagination, the real Song Jiang uprising, to put it bluntly, is one of the many uprisings at the end of the Song Dynasty, Song Jiang finally accepted zhaoan, because it was really desperate, powerless to return to heaven, an uprising full of ambition, so it was drowned in the Song Dynasty army, the gap between them, Song Jiang was uncomfortable, and helpless.
As for the Fang La Uprising, like the Song Jiang Uprising, it was also a rebellion after being oppressed by the imperial court, but unlike the Song Jiang Uprising, the Fang La Uprising was more powerful and the number of participants was also large, initially only about 100 people, but their ideas were recognized by many people, and the team gradually grew, and finally developed to nearly one million, following Fang La to rebel against the officials and capture the city. However, Fang La was ultimately defeated by the imperial court, and after several defeats, the situation was precarious, Fang La was captured, and the uprising did not continue.
3. Who is more powerful
Compared with Song Jiang and Fang La in "Water Margin", whether there has been a confrontation between these two forces in real history is still inconclusive. However, judging from their influence, scope, influence, and reasons for the uprising, Fang La was still better. The Songjiang uprising originated from the fact that Liangshan Shuipo was adopted as a public property, and the Fang La uprising was because of the heavy burden of the peasants and the suffering of exploitation, in contrast, Fang La's motives and desires were stronger.
In addition, Fang La gathered more people, after he was killed, the remnants of the force were not completely suppressed until 1121, shaking the Great Song Dynasty, and the Song Jiang Uprising was a small witch in comparison, but a "Water Margin" said that this matter was wonderful, and from a historical point of view alone, Fang La was more powerful.
