Looking at the Life of water margin (41): Zhang Heng told us: Those who make up the number must also have two shots
Text/Chinoiserie
Zhang Heng's nickname is "Ship Fire", what does Ship Fire mean? In ancient times, all shipwrights except the helmsman were called "fire", simply put, the shaking shipwright. Before Zhang Heng ascended Liangshan, he was the Duke of Xunyang. Using your own profession as a nickname is not impossible, but it is too ordinary, and it is too heroic, let alone domineering. The actual situation is also like this, Zhang Heng's sense of existence is too low, can enter the Heavenly Gang, many people say that it is completely stained with the light of the white stripe Zhang Shun in the younger brother's waves, or the younger brother entered the brother and did not enter, too embarrassing, but also contrary to the benevolence advocated by the good man of the jianghu. Regardless of his battle achievements or image, Zhang Heng was not brilliant, far less than his younger brother, and it seemed correct to say that he was a good number. It is no wonder that the appearance of Zhang Heng was indeed produced as a number, and the Southern Song Dynasty Gong Kai's "Thirty-Six Praises of the Song River" ranked Zhang Heng after Zhang Shun, and clearly pointed out that Zhang Heng was a number: "Too good to be a good man, thirty has six, there is no such fire, its number is insufficient." Old Master Shi used this as a basis to position Zhang Heng, so will it still be dazzling?
If we also think that Zhang Heng is a dispensable character, or an honest person with low skills, it is a big mistake, Zhang Heng's popularity and low skill are relative to Liangshan Tiangang's strong hand, in fact, Zhang Heng does not have a bit of an honest person or a weak door, but is a bully that people are afraid of.
From the name, you know that everyone who has a "horizontal" character is mostly a tyrannical person, you see Mu "horizontal" (Mu Hong was originally Mu Heng), so domineering, come to Jieyang Town first have to worship him, without his permission, a reward almost killed Song Jiang. Look at Lei "horizontal" again, so unreasonable, watch a play without giving money and beating people! This Zhang "horizontal" is not a reasonable person, the ferry people have their own ferry money, but he wants to rob, the Xunyang River killing people and robbing money has become his main livelihood, and the viciousness and the shore Zhang Qing and his wife opened a meat bun shop, who is more evil is difficult to distinguish between high and low. Specifically how to operate, Zhang Heng himself said: "I have two brothers, but when the bet is lost, I will first drive a boat and cross the river to do a private ferry. There were such guests, who were greedy for a hundred dollars, and who wanted to be fast, and came to disembark from my ship. When the boat was full, he taught his brother Zhang Shun, who also pretended to be a single guest carrying a large bag, and also came to take advantage of the boat. In the middle of the river, he rested, dropped the anchor, inserted a plate knife, but begged for money for the boat. Ben is five hundred feet a man, and I will make him three times. But he first asked his brother to ask for it, and taught him to pretend not to return me. So I took him up, grabbed his head with one hand, fixed his waist and crotch with the other, and swooped down into the river, and the leader of the row was bound to be three times. One by one, they were stunned and put out 'not overlapping.'" They were all enough, but they sent him to a secluded place to go ashore. My brother had walked across the river since the bottom of the water, waiting for no one, but he and his brother shared the money to gamble." Isn't this horizontal scary? Is it still on the side of honesty and uselessness?
Later, Zhang Shun became a fishmonger and bullied the market, and he Zhang Heng has been doing this business alone, and he has given such a bloody business two nice names called "eating wontons" and eating "plate knife noodles". The so-called eating of "wontons" means that money is left behind, stripped naked, jumped into the river to resign himself to fate, and created a life; the so-called "plate knife noodles" are to use a plate knife one by one, chop and throw it into the water to feed the fish. Even with two tolerances plus three People from Song Jiang, Zhang Heng was not afraid, he was sure of one knife at a time, so it can be seen that Zhang Heng's martial arts are by no means so unbearable, otherwise wouldn't he be looking for death? Of course, he has the last trick to save his life, and he really can't take down the other party's swoop and sneak into the bottom of the river, truly "stable and good road".
It is estimated that the river crossers who were murdered by Zhang Heng were not hundreds but also dozens, and this murderous demon could actually get away with it, which shows how corrupt the Song Dynasty government was at that time. Strong people can live happily by their ability, and ordinary people can be in hot water! Liangshan is a society that is more fierce than whom, and can he enter Tiangang without two sons? It was precisely by relying on this vicious means that Zhang Heng was able to gain a firm foothold in Liangshan, and he was also the leader of the top three water troops.
Of course, Zhang Hengneng came to the top to suppress Ruan Xiaowuyi, more because of the relationship with Song Jiang. Song Jiang had suffered a big loss in Jieyang Town, although there was no danger, it also left a lingering shadow in his heart, and he did not dare to be contemptuous of the three masters of Jieyang. Especially this Zhang Heng, let Song Jiang almost go crazy, first from the surprise of desperate life to the desperate despair, and then to the escape day of turning danger into a disaster, this roller coaster-style life and death change is simply that Song Jiang can't forget it for three lifetimes.
Song Jiang and the two tolerances were chased and killed by Mu Hong's Brothers and fled to the Xunyang River, and at the moment of crisis, a boat was gently shaken out among the reeds, and it was Zhang Heng who had lost the gambling money. Zhang Heng let Song Jiang and the three of them get on the boat, and let the Mu family brothers shout that they ignored it, saying:
"The three members of the boat, all of whom are relatives of my family and parents, invite him back to eat the bowl board knife noodles." Although Song Jiang didn't understand what it meant to eat the bowl board knife noodles, it was already thankful to escape from the tiger's mouth, "It is the good people who meet the evil people away." One had to get rid of this disaster. ”
Knowing that Song Jiang's happiness has not yet passed, Zhang Heng came to a Huzhou song: "The old man grew up by the river, not afraid of lawsuits and not afraid of the sky." Last night Hua Guang came to take advantage of me and took a golden brick before leaving. Directly let the three people of Song Jiang tremble with fear, but also go to the heart of the river, let the choice of eating wontons or eating plate knife noodles, really "blessings are incomparable, disasters are not alone"! It has frightened the soul out of the sky. Just as he was crying bitterly, there was a hoarse sound on the river. Mixed River Dragon Li Jun arrived, and Song Jiang picked up another life!
Upon hearing that this black dwarf prisoner was Song Jiang, Zhang Heng, who was both a benefactor and an enemy, fell in fright and bowed his head: "Save me from doing evil things, and fighting to hurt Brother Ren?" Song Jiang, who had returned to the seven tricks, saw Zhang Heng's face clearly, it turned out to be "seven feet of body triangle eyes, yellow hair and red eyes", obviously a demon, no wonder it was so fierce! Old Master Shi added a few more words: "There is a reputation on the Xunyang River. The waves are like water monsters, and the waves are like flying
whale. The evil waters and fierce winds are not afraid, the dragons are terrified everywhere, and the heavens are harmful to the living beings. The small lonely mountain lived down, and the ship fire number was horizontal. "Such a powerful Father Zhang, plus Jiangzhou saved Song Jiang again, sitting in the twenty-eighth position of this Tiangang, whose light do you want to dip?!"
Zhang Heng took his younger brother Zhang Shun to Liangshan and began to show his skills. Worthy of the halfway killing and robbing the rich, Zhang Heng's courage was very great, and with two or three hundred water troops, he dared to sneak into Guan Sheng's big tent to catch Guan Sheng, and as a result, he was caught. Later, in the battle with the imperial court, he captured the commander Dang Shixiong, the infantry cadet Niu Bangxi alive, and together with Li Jun, captured Wang Wende, the envoy of the Hongnong Festival in northern Jingbei. During the conquest of Tian Hu, he assisted Li Junshui in flooding the city of Dayuan and beheaded the defender Zhang Xiong. During the conquest of Fangla, Zhang Heng beheaded Pan Wende, the governor of Runzhou. After hearing that his brother Zhang Jun had died in battle, Zhang Heng fainted on the spot, and unfortunately contracted the plague and was sent to Hangzhou to recuperate. When Fang La was swept away, Zhang Heng had died of illness and was posthumously honored as Zhongwu Lang.
From the bully who robbed halfway to the robber who killed people and crossed the goods, and finally to the warlord who was loyal to the king and repaid the country, and was posthumously sealed by the imperial court, Zhang Heng's life was also complete. Zhang Heng used his actions to prove that his position as Tiangang was not a number, even if it was a number, it was also based on strength!
In real life, no matter what group we are in, whether we are in the core position or in the corner, if you want the leader or anyone else to remember that you value you, you must have two shots, opportunity is the booster, strength is the eternal recipe.
