Look at the Life of Water Margin (43): Zhang Shun tells us that the rules of the game are made by the fist
Text/Chinoiserie
Zhang Shun is one of the more famous people in the Water Margin, at least among the six people of Jieyang Sanba, he is the first. Many readers also spoke highly of him, what is very heavy brotherhood, loyalty to Liangshan to Song Jiang, and after his death, he was named a general of Jinhua by the imperial court, and he was the only one among the Liangshan brothers who was named a general. Even his loyal heart touched the West Lake Dragon King, staying in the Water Palace Dragon Palace as a god. It can be seen that Zhang Shun is popular among the people. If we think that Zhang Shun's character is comparable to that of Master Lu or Wu Erlang, then it is taken for granted that Zhang Shun was one of the three hegemons of Jieyang before he went to Liangshan, which is a good illustration of his past. Whoever is called a bully by the people is a person who dominates one side, acts as a blessing in disguise, and oppresses the masses. Zhang Shun is the representative of the evil forces and one of the most ruthless evil people in Liangshan! This didn't wrong him at all, just look at what this guy did.
At first, Zhang Shun and his brother Zhang Heng only did two things, one was gambling money, and the other was robbery. When you have money, you go to gamble, and when you don't have money, you go to grab it. Grabbing money is called "stable" business by Li Jun, it is really a stable business without profits, the brothers in the Xunyang River to cross people, ferry the boat to the heart of the river, and then start to rob people of property, relying on or not, will push people into the river and drown.
Such a business is not sneaky, but carried out in broad daylight, but it can finally be sanctioned, which shows how dark and corrupt the society was during the Song Huizong period! Of course, most of the victims are passers-by from other places, and the locals will not be fooled by this, so no one has gone to the government to report it. But the local people know it, and these two brothers can't be bothered!
Later, Zhang Heng was still engaged in stable business in XunyangJiang, and Zhang Shun was smarter than his brother, and he went to Jiangzhou to do "fish teeth", which was also a business without capital, and the risk was much smaller and the return was greater. What is fish teeth, to put it bluntly, is the intermediary that sells fish. The Song Dynasty stipulated that commercial trade should have a tooth intermediary, and the government issued "tooth stickers" to designate official teeth, monopolizing the negotiation of commercial transactions, and Yu Yazi was the person who negotiated and obtained commissions for fishermen and fishing sellers and sellers. Zhang Shun is indeed very clever, he knows to get a legal coat to put on his body, and suddenly become a legal market manager. With the protection of the underworld and the white road, Zhang Shun has as powerful as he is. People understand that although this fish tooth is a fat difference, it is not something that anyone can do, just like the market managers in previous years, first of all, they must be able to fight with the officials, and secondly, they must have a role in the market and no one dares to disobey, otherwise the management is not good. You can imagine who is the manager!
Besides, Zhang Shun can't be the first fish tooth in Jiangzhou Fish Market, so what about the previous one? No need to guess, it must have been Zhang Shun who beat up or killed him like Jiang Menshen beat Shi En. Judging by Zhang Shun's method of killing Li Qiaonu, he had done it completely, otherwise who would be stupid enough not to do such a good job. The government had to accept Zhang Shun as the big fish tooth. With the support of the government, Zhang Shun was even more unscrupulous, who did not listen to the light who dared to resist, punched and kicked, beaten half to death, and then did not listen to the ship was sunk, and even in the middle of the night in the Xunyang River there were many unjust souls. Of course, Zhang Shun's hands will inevitably have a bunch of small fish teeth, and many things may not have to be done by himself. As a result, the Jiangzhou fish market was managed by Zhang Shun in a disciplined manner, and it could even be rated as an advanced market and a model unit for management.
In the Jiangzhou Fish Market, Zhang Shun's words are the holy will, the rules he set are iron laws, no one disobeys no one disobeys, it has become a matter of course that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, all because Zhang Shun's fist is hard enough and black enough, do not dare to whisk it. You see what the fishermen of the hundred and ten fishing boats said: "We can't wait for the owner of the fishing tooth to come, and we don't dare to open the cabin." You see the vendors are sitting on the shore. What did the owner of the restaurant say: "I don't dare to tell the dean that this fish was served last night." Today's live fish are still in the boat, waiting for the owner of the fish teeth to not come, and they have not dared to sell, so there are no good fresh fish. And when Zhang Shun spoke, they all came to snug off: Zhang Shun whistled slightly, only to see that the fishing boats on the river were all propped up to the shore. Zhang Shun asked, "There are golden carp in that boat?" Seeing this, he replied, "I'll come from the ship." The one replied, "I have it in my ship." Suddenly, a dozen golden carps came together. That's how bullies are made, and that's how rules are made.
Writing this, I can't help but think of the cai yazi in the 1990s at the Luojiajing Market in Chenzhou. That guy is not tall or fierce, similar to Zhang Shun, who is dressed in white flesh, and the white purity on the outside does not mean that the heart is also white. The guy was a local, and he also had a bunch of thugs under his command, acting as thugs, and was hired by the market to maintain order in the market. He occupied the best position in the Luojiajing wholesale market, and there was an unwritten rule: when the car that loaded his goods came, we had to unload his car first; his goods were not sold, and other bosses could not sell. In the early hours of the morning, a foreign boss dragged a cart of small dishes to sell, it was a couple, because they did not understand this rule, but they were miserable. Not only were the goods thrown everywhere, but they were also forcibly stripped of their clothes and kneeled without any clothes, and the most heinous thing was that this animal actually forced the two to perform husband and wife in public! One or two hundred people who were watching dared to be angry but no one dared to speak up, and no one dared to fight and hug the injustice, which showed that its evil deeds had long been deeply rooted, and there was no good fruit to eat when it was strong. Later, it seemed that the police came and took the two couples away, but they did not deal with him. This dish tooth and Zhang Shun fish tooth have a fight, if there is no means to make people afraid, how can it dominate the market gathered from all over the world?
Look at today's United States, the world's biggest bully, he for his own hegemony, get a long arm to govern, the whole of France, knock down the French industrial pearl Of Arthus. Throughout Japan, robbing Japan of Toshiba chip technology. And Germany and Russia, but also want China to obey. Why the United States can succeed again and again, in the final analysis, it is not that it is not that he is militarily strong, his fists are hard, and he will be beaten if he does not listen!
It can be seen that fist hardness is the only law to stop the rules. To deal with such a hegemonic country such as the United States, a bully individual like Zhang Shun, he must have a harder fist and more courage than him. So Zhang Shun encountered Li Kui, who had a harder fist, and was almost beaten into a dead fish in the waves. Chenzhou's caiyazi was later imprisoned for poisoning. And the long-arm jurisdiction of the United States has also been torn apart by the united China, did not Meng Wanzhou obediently release back to China?!
