"Water Margin" tells the story of one hundred and eight good men led by Song Jiang who were forced to go to Liangshan, put up the apricot yellow banner of "for the Heavenly Path", robbed the rich and helped the poor, resisted oppression, and juyi Shuipo Liangshan uprising. One hundred and eight good men have very different personalities and have their own characteristics, which can be seen from their nicknames, such as Li Kui's nickname "Black Whirlwind", which can not only deduce his thick and dark image, but also know that his personality is rough, reckless, and extremely defiant; and then such as Lin Chong's nickname "Leopard Head", from which it can be inferred that Lin Chong's appearance is the same as "leopard head ring eyes, swallow jaw tiger whiskers", and it can be known that his skills are as brave and swift as cheetahs, powerful and so on.
One hundred and eight good men can gather in Liangshan, can worship as brothers, rank in the thirty-six heavens, seventy-two places of fire, must have their own superiority, or martial arts are strong, such as Lin Chong, Hu Yanzhuo, Lu Zhishen; or superior intelligence, such as Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Gongsun Sheng, etc.; or famous, such as Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng; or technical talents, such as Xiao Rang, An Daoquan, Jiang Jing, etc., these characters under the brilliant pen of Shi Nai'an, the image is vivid, liangshan heroes are famous in the world, and have been immortalized for thousands of years. To this day, individual figures are well known in folk households.
Compared with Song Jiang, Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, Lu Zhishen and other popular and well-known Water Margin characters, Jiang Jing, as a technical Liangshan good man figure, seems to be unknown, not to mention his stories and deeds in "Water Margin", which is almost blank in the minds of many people, and even some people do not even know that there is Jiang Jing among the one hundred and eight good men of Liangshan. In this article, the author will talk about Jiang Jing:
Jiang Jing, a character in the novel "Water Margin", is home to Tanzhou and is a fallen boy. Because he was in the first place and recognized the corruption of the imperial court, he abandoned the literature and martial arts, learned all the means behind his back, and "made the guns get sticks and deployed the troops" without a problem. Jiang Jing's best hand is still proficient in book calculation, the original text said that he has the ability to "accumulate thousands of thousands, fiber is not bad", so the jianghu gave him a nickname called "God Operator".
Ranking, we need to understand that although Jiang Jing is a person with a strategy, this "divine operator" is not the meaning of "calculating exhaustive strategy" that we usually know, that is to say, the nickname of "divine operator" is not to praise his strategy, but to praise his book calculation, and this "operator" is the real object operator, that is, the calculation chip, which is what we now call the abacus (operator, the prototype of the abacus, is an ancient calculation tool). The meaning of "accumulation is thousands, and the fiber is not bad" is that Jiang Jing has a good abacus and has excellent skills in accounting and bookkeeping.
Jiang Jingluodi, abandoning Wen Congwu, was extremely disappointed in the political corruption of the late Northern Song Dynasty, and the imperial court was dim and extremely disappointed, and later occupied the Huangmen Mountain with the iron flute Xian Ma Lin, the nine-tailed turtle Tao Zongwang, and the Moyun golden-winged Ou Peng, who occupied the Huangmen Mountain as the king, which was also considered to be a runaway.
Song Jiang was sent to Jiangzhou, drunk in xunyang lou, and took advantage of the wine to write anti-poems on the wall, which was discovered by Huang Wenbing, who was idle in the small town of the wuwei army, and he reported Song Jiang, causing Song Jiang to be beheaded. Jiang Jing, the four good men who were in the Huangmen Mountains, had long admired Song Jiang, and when they learned of Song Jiang's crime, they planned to lead their troops to Jiangzhou to rob the prison to rescue Song Jiang, but before they could leave, Song Jiang had already been rescued by the Liangshan men and horses led by Chao Gai, and made a big fuss about killing Huang Wenbing, and then Hao Hao was ready to return to Liangshan.
Jiang Jing learned that Song Jiang had been rescued, and expected that they would pass through the Huangmen Mountain, so he led his men to wait for Song Jiang. Song Jiang passed through Huangmen Mountain with the support of Liangshan's army, and Jiang Jing and others welcomed them up the mountain to be treated with good wine and good meat, and during the banquet, Song Jiang invited them to join Liangshan together. Jiang Jing and others were naturally willing, and after the banquet, they burned the cottage and took the people and horses and Song Jiang and others to Liangshan and became a member of the Liangshan Army.
Since Jiang Jing was a divine operator and had the ability to "accumulate thousands of things and be perfect," the work that Song Jiang arranged for Jiang Jing was naturally logistics, and he was in charge of money, grain, and materials. His first duty was to be in charge of the warehouse, which is now the warehouse manager, and later responsible for Liangshan's money, grain and gold. At the time of Liangshan's Great Gathering, Jiang Jing ranked fifty-third, and was one of the sixteen leaders of Liangshan's supervision of various affairs, mainly responsible for calculating the inclusion of money and grain expenditures.
afterward. When Liangshan was recruited, Jiang Jing accompanied the Song Dynasty to the south of the Jiang Dynasty in the northern war, conquered the Liao State, the Pingtian Tiger, the annihilation of Wang Qing, and the suppression of Fang La, and made a lot of meritorious achievements, although there were not many military achievements, but its role was strong, and the logistical support of the three armies was very in place, which was also the solid backing for the liangshan army to win. Jiang Jing's personal martial arts record is not much shown in the whole book, only dozens of rounds of battles with Tian Hu's subordinate Hu Guanguan general Zhu Wenjing. After the pacification of Fang La, Jiang Jing became one of the surviving thirty-six, and was named Wu Yilang and Du Commander by the imperial court, with the responsibility of managing the army and the people, and the provincial court listening to the tune. Soon after Jiang Jing took office, he saw through the affairs of the official field, coupled with homesickness, so he hung up the seal and sealed gold, resigned his official post and returned to his hometown of Tanzhou to still be an ordinary citizen, and it was precisely because of this that Jiang Jing was not framed by the traitorous ministers of the imperial court and was able to die well.
Jiang Jing's outstanding performance in the whole book is not much, which is related to his position in Liangshan Jun and his work. To put it bluntly, he is specialized in logistics, Liang Shanjun's nanny, accounting cashier. Liang Shanjun is a big family, as Jiang Jing, who is in charge of money and grain, actually seems to be easy and substantive work is not easy, it is not easy to manage the living expenses and daily materials of such a large number of people, but Jiang Jing has done it, and the actual overall planning and deployment of Liangshan's logistics support work has been done in an orderly manner, and the people of Liangshan have no worries about food and clothing, so it can be seen that Jiang Jing's ability to "accumulate thousands of people and be meticulous is not bad" is not bragging, and the role of Jiang Jing as a technical professional in Liangshan Army is self-evident. Of course, as a logistician, his work, his merits, unlike those who charge into the front and earn military merit, and his importance will be overlooked. If You make a metaphor for Jiang Jing, he is like Xiao He under Liu Bang of the Western Han Dynasty, and Jiang Jing is Xiao He of the Liangshan Army. (Text: Repentance of the Past)
