"Water Margin" tells the story of a group of 108 good men gathered in Shuipo Liangshan.
This group of people have different origins and different experiences, but they all have special skills and excellent skills, and they are also forced to fall into the grass for various reasons.
Some of them have a positive image, which is synonymous with loyalty and righteousness, and some have a multi-faceted personality, which has aroused many criticisms.
Dong Ping is a late character in the book, and his friendship with other good men in Liangshan is relatively shallow.
Although the use of a double gun in one hand can be magical, and the battlefield has repeatedly won miracles, but because of the covetousness of beauty, it has left a handle.
In the ranking of the good men of Liangshan, Dong Ping ranked fifteenth, and he was also the lowest among the five tiger generals.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > violent personality</h1>
After Chao Gai's death, the position of liangshan lord fell among Song Jiang and Lu Junyi.
Opinions in the village were very inconsistent, so Song Jiang proposed a method, which coincided with the shortage of money and grain, and the two of them led a group of men and horses to attack the two state capitals near Liangshan, and whoever attacked first was the lord of Liangshan.
Song Jiang went to Dongping Province, and Lu Junyi went to Dongchang Province. Although it was actually an attack, Song Jiang still wrote a battle letter in advance and sent it to Dongping Province, if He was too defensive and willing to surrender, there was no need to make a big fuss.
After Cheng Wanli received the news, he immediately consulted Dong Ping, the superintendent of the Terracotta Army, and Dong Ping heard that he immediately jumped like a thunderbolt and immediately wanted to kill the Envoy Of Song Jiang who had come to deliver the letter.
"The two armies are at war and do not cut each other." This is a principle that the soldiers all follow, and after Cheng Wanli dissuaded Dong Ping, Dong Ping still ordered the two envoys to be tied up, beaten until the skin was opened, and then thrown out of the city.
Although he was angry at being attacked for no reason, Dong Ping's practice undoubtedly revealed his small temperament and irritability.
Seeing such a situation, Song Jiang knew that it was difficult to escape a battle. Shi Jin took the initiative to propose that he had an old acquaintance in Dongping City, and asked Miao to go into the city to inquire about the news, but he did not expect that Li Xialan and others would ignore the old situation and report to Cheng Wanli, so that Shi Jin was arrested.
After Dong Ping saw Shi Jin, in order to get the news from his mouth, he severely tortured him and exhausted all means, but unfortunately found nothing.
Among the good men of Liangshan, many people take the word "righteousness" as the first word and have a sense of pity for the hero.
Although people may be in different camps at first, they will also appreciate each other in their hearts.
Shi Jin, as a general of Liangshan, unfortunately fell into distress and became a prisoner of the order, and Dong Ping did not have half respect for him, but instead did everything to humiliate him.
Dong Ping was indignant when he heard the news, but he also thought that there might be many lurking Song Jiang's men in the city at this time, and Song Jiang would probably send people to rescue Shi Jin.
This was a good opportunity to take the initiative, so he counted the soldiers and horses into the Song River Village overnight, wanting to take a breath of evil.
When Dong Ping killed Song Jiang, Song Jiang's eyes couldn't help but light up, because Dong Ping was not only good at double guns, had a brave wind, and had a handsome face.
It turned out that Dong Ping, in addition to his superior martial arts, was also proficient in various three religions and nine streams, and knew some elegant things in music, so he had the reputation of "The Marquis of Ten Thousand Households".
Song Jiang Deng became fond of talent and wanted to subdue Dong Ping to serve Liangshan. Song Jiang first scolded Dong Ping under the city gate, provoking his anger.
Dong Ping was originally a person with a small amount of qi, and sure enough, he led his troops to pursue Song Jiang for more than a hundred miles, and was finally captured alive by two female generals, Yi Zhangqing and Sun Erniang, who had been ambushed in advance, and escorted to Song Jiang.
Song Jiang hurriedly untied the rope from Dong Ping's body, and blamed his subordinates for not counting Dong Ping's rituals, and after some false courtesy, Song Jiang offered to let Dong Ping submit.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > ungrateful behavior</h1>
Dong Ping had already been arrested, and seeing that Song Jiang admired him so much, he didn't need others to bother with his words, so he easily agreed to it.
He not only promised to serve Liangshan, but also advised Song Jiang on how to lay down Dongping Province. He told Song Jiang and the others that Cheng Wanli was originally just a Mr. Menguan, and now he was in such a high position, he didn't know how many people had been mutilated.
The speed at which Dong Ping turned his face was really jaw-dropping, there was no negative description of Cheng Wanli's weekday official style in the book, and greed and cruelty were only one side of Dong Ping's words.
He had been an official under Cheng Wanli for many years, and he was highly valued by him, so he must have also received the favor of The Process Wanli, at this time, he not only turned against him, but also had to bite back, and his character really could not be flattered.
After some deliberation, Dong Ping proposed to let Song Jiang let himself go first, deceive the city gate, and open the road for Song Jiang and others without spending a single soldier.
After the city gate was opened, Song Jiang ordered his subordinates not to harm the people in the city, but Dong Ping single-handedly went straight to the Taishou mansion and killed Cheng Wanli's entire family, leaving only Cheng Wanli's daughter.
It turned out that Cheng Wanli's daughter was absolutely beautiful, and Dong Ping did not marry a wife, he had repeatedly proposed to Cheng Wanli to marry his daughter, but Cheng Wanli had not agreed.
When Song Jiang led troops to attack the city, Cheng Wanli approached Dong Ping to discuss countermeasures, and Dong Ping also took the opportunity to propose that Cheng Wanli marry his daughter to himself.
Cheng Wanli did not want to deal with this family affair in his heart, but he had to rely on Dong Ping to retreat from the enemy, so he reassured him that the great war was imminent at this time, and if he married his daughter immediately, it was inevitable that he would fall into the tongue, and when the crisis was over, it would not be too late to do the family affair.
Dong Ping was very unhappy to hear Cheng Wanli push it so much, but what people did not expect was that these frictions had actually turned into a deep hatred that prompted Dong Ping to kill the killer.
There are very few heroes who covet beauty in "Water Margin", and Dong Ping is the only one who can kill his parents for the sake of beauty.
Although the mood of Cheng Wanli's daughter is not mentioned later in the book, but after suffering from this disaster, and being forcibly married as the wife of the father's enemy, ordinary people will definitely have resentment in their hearts.
If Dong Ping really loved Cheng Wanli's daughter, he couldn't have paid no attention to her feelings.
Moreover, when Dong Ping did not understand the character of Song Jiang and others, he promised to open the city gate for them, and he did not know whether Song Jiang's subordinates would burn and loot, which was equivalent to giving the lives of the entire city to the people.
As a high-ranking general of Dongping Province, Dong Ping's primary duty was to protect the safety of the people, but from his approach, he did not care about the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people at all.
After Dong Ping returned to Liangshan, he was ranked fifteenth, and was also listed as the Five Tiger Generals along with Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, and Hu Yanzhuo.
Dong Ping's seat was often questioned, believing that he appeared late, did not see any significant merits, and was not related to others in Liangshan and should not take on this heavy responsibility.
However, the ranking of Liangshan heroes is mainly based on ability. Dong Ping's ability to be promoted to this position is enough to show that he himself is capable.
In Liangshan's later wars, large and small, Dong Ping had outstanding performances, but although his martial arts excellence was important, it was not enough to make up for his other shortcomings.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > courageous style</h1>
In line with Dong Ping's violent personality, he often likes to rush to the front line when fighting, and is the vanguard of several battles, so he has the name of "Dong Yi Collision".
Whether it was the three defeats of Gao Li or the courage to break the Mercury Array, his good performance won him a resounding reputation, but in the final war against Fang La, Dong Ping was buried by his own courage and strategy.
Before Dusong passed the battle, Zhou Tong lost his life, and Dong Ping was determined to avenge him. The next day, he ran to Dusong Pass and shouted and scolded, but he did not expect that there were artillery on the gate.
When Dong Ping shouted and scolded, the artillery shot down coldly, and the cannon wind rubbed on Dong Ping's left arm, and when Dong Ping was taken back to the camp by his subordinates, his left arm could not move and could only be bound with a splint.
The revenge was not successful, but he was also seriously injured, Dong Ping used to use two guns, and now only one hand can fight, and the power is naturally greatly reduced.
But he couldn't swallow this evil breath no matter what, and he still wanted to take revenge for himself and Zhou Tong, but he was stopped by Lu Junyi and let him calm down and recuperate.
After a night, Dong Ping felt that his left arm was no longer in serious trouble, and he quietly concealed Lu Junyi, taking only his deputy Zhang Qing, and the two of them went to Dusong Pass together.
Du Song closed down Li Tianyan and Zhang Tao fought, the two sides were equal opponents, but Dong Ping's left arm was injured and could not use strength, and could only retreat under Li Tianyan's attack.
Zhang Qing raised his gun to help the battle, but he lost his hand and plunged into the pine tree, and when he drew his gun, Li Tianyan took advantage of his lack of preparation to shoot Zhang Qing to the death, and Dong Ping was also cut into two pieces from behind by Zhang Tao, and the two good men of Liangshan died heroically because of Dong Ping's recklessness.
In the whole process of attacking Fang La, Liangshan lost many generals, but Dong Ping was indeed one who died prematurely.
Dong Ping's courage and strategy are not the first time in the book, and his courage is both the advantage of the battle and his flaw.
When he had just surrendered to Song Jiang, Dong Ping went with Song Jiang to Dongchang Province to help Lu Junyi, who was the defender of Dongchang Province at that time, and used flying stones against the enemy, defeating many generals in Liangshan continuously.
Dong Ping thought that he had just surrendered, and no matter what, he would make a little merit, and only when he went up the mountain would he have brilliance. He fought with Zhang Qing on horseback, and when Zhang Qing was defeated, he turned around and ran back to the battlefield.
Dong Ping was overwhelmed after seeing that Zhang Qing had signs of defeat and retreated, and rode deeply on horseback, but forgot that Zhang Qing was good at using flying stones and was injured by a stone and injured his ear.
However, this time the recklessness did not pay a heavy price, and Dong Ping when he was recruiting Fang La was not so lucky.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > conclusion</h1>
Compared with Lin Chong, Wu Song and other characters with distinct personalities and more ink, Dong Ping's sense of existence is much weaker.
But from Dong Ping, readers can see a different side from previous heroes.
The author has not always focused on his heroic and courageous skills, but has not hesitated to expose his brutal personality and let the reader have an objective evaluation.
So in the discussion we see about Dong Ping, it is more about conflicts and contradictions, whether his seat is unfair, whether the ability he shows is enough to sit on an equal footing with Lin Chong and others.
But what we can't deny is that this character has a rich image, and this does not need to be proved by a lot of ink.
