Liang Shanbo was the second village lord Chao Gai
Chaogai (?) –1119), a character in the classic Chinese novel Water Margin written by Shi Nai'an, was the chief village lord of Liangshan Po, a native of Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, Shandong Province, and a rich man of Dongxi Village. He is superior in martial arts, superior in divine martial arts, righteous and wealthy in his life, righteous and thin, dedicated to making friends with good people in the world, and is famous in the rivers and lakes.
Chao Gai, a native of Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, Shandong Province, is a rich man in Dongxi Village, Chao Gai, cCTV version of "Water Margin". He is famous for his life, who is known for his life and righteousness, and loves to make friends with the world's good men. He likes to stab the gun and make the stick, strong and strong, does not take the wife's room, and fights all day long. Legend has it that the neighboring village of Xixi Village is haunted, and one day, the villagers were instructed by a monk to chisel a bluestone pagoda town by the creek, and the ghost was driven to Dongxi Village. Chao Gai was furious and took the bluestone pagoda alone and put it down by the East Stream, so he was called "King of Tota". Later, he was hunted down and killed by the government after conspiring with Liu Tang, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, and Ruan Shi Sanxiong to outwit the birthday gang incident, and had to defect to Liangshan. Because Wang Luncai, the lord of Liangshan Bozhai, was incompatible, after Wu used zhi to stimulate the forest to rush the fire and Wang Lun, everyone pushed Chao Gai as the owner of the village. When Song Jiang was in distress for writing anti-poems in xunyang lou, Chao Gai and other good men of Liangshan robbed the Jiangzhou Law Field and rescued Song Jiang Daizong. Later, during the Battle of Zengtou City, he was shot in the cheek by a poisoned arrow and died. He died before he could get out of school, and was a hero with tragic overtones.
Poetry:
The hero party is indefinite, and Shuihu Mountain is the commander.
If you want to invite treasures to the birthday, specially pull the three Nguyen Synergy Divine Opportunity. For a moment, Haojie deceived the Yellow House, and the seven rays of light moved purple. All the guards guarded Liangshan and gathered righteousness, and several gold warriors were captured.
Gangxing revolted in Shandong, killing Yao in the Water Margin. However, the seven stars became a party, but they showed heroes in all parts of the world.
Chao Gai said, "There are a few more acquaintances inside, please go into the back hall to see you." When the three of them entered, they met Liu Tang and San Ruan. The crowd said, "This meeting today should not be accidental. Brother Baozheng must be asked to sit facing him. Chao Gai said, "The measure boy is a poor master, and he has nothing rare to keep and be hospitable, how dare he take it." Wu Yong said, "Brother Baozheng, according to Xiaosheng, please sit down." Chao Gai had to sit first. Wu Yong sat second, Gongsun Sheng sat third, Liu Tang sat fourth, Ruan Xiao'er sat fifth, Ruan Xiaowu sat sixth, and Ruan Xiaoqi sat seventh. But only then did they gather to drink, reorganize the cups and plates, and prepare the wine and dishes. Everyone drank, and Wu Yong said, "Bao Zheng dreamed that the seven stars of the Big Dipper fell on the roof ridge, and today I and seven other people gathered to do things in righteousness, shouldn't the sky be hanging on." This set of riches is taken by hand. I waited for seven people and would, and none of them knew. I wanted Mr. Gongsun Sheng to fight in the jianghu, so I learned about this matter and came to apply for insurance. As I said the day before yesterday, Brother Yang Liu went to inquire where the journey came from, and this evening, please board the journey early. “
As a good man, often pay attention to the righteousness of the word first, Chao Tianwang is impeccable in this regard, the book in the Chao Gai appearance said that he: ordinary life to fight righteousness and loose wealth, love to get to know the world's good men. But someone came to him, and whatever he did, he stayed in the village. If he wanted to go, he would give him two silver coins to help him get up. In just a few dozen words, I said everything about Chao Gai's personality. Chao Gai is a Baozheng of Dongxi Village, whose identity is far inferior to that of Chai Jin, a high official from the royal family, but he can make no less than Chai Jin's moves, which cannot but be said and admired. Dealing with the problem of brothers, Chao Tianwang's performance is also righteousness and generosity, saving Liu Tang, who is living with himself, and personally going to Jiangzhou to save Song Jiang as the lord of a mountain. Liangshan's benefactor Chai Jin was trapped in Gaotang Prefecture, and Chao Gai was also bent on going to rescue him. Thus, Chao Gai can treat his brothers with true righteousness, can do rich and noble and do not forget the original, absolutely worthy of the word "good man", treat brothers, treat friends, Chao Tianwang can do two ribs into the knife, born into death, regardless of their own dangers, and even betrayed their own white victory, all entrusted people to rescue. Therefore, it is not too much to say that the Chao Heavenly King's righteous spirit is deep.
Strive to work together, gather together, and be a rival to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. Before his death, he was aware of Song Jiang's usurpation of power and did not give in on the issue of principle.
Last will and testament: "If anyone catches and shoots me, he will be called the lord of Liangshan." The essence is a denial of the corrupt Confucian official Song Jiang.
After Chao Gai led the zhi robbers of the Birthday Gang to the mountain and replaced Wang Lun as the lord of Liangshan Po, the values of the Liangshan organization underwent a major change from "robbing the family and robbing the house" to "robbing the rich and helping the poor".
In fact, this major change was not formed after Chao Gai went to Liangshan, but gradually perfected and matured in the process of robbing the Birth Anniversary Class.
At that time, Liu Tang came to throw Chao Gai and wanted to say a set of riches to him. Liu Tang said: "The younger brother inquired about Liang Zhongshu, the famous capital of Beijing, and bribed 100,000 gold jewelry, shells, and other items to send to Tokyo to celebrate the birthday of his father-in-law, Master Cai Taishi. He also sent 100,000 gold jewelry shells to the middle of the road, I don't know who robbed it, and there is still no place to catch it. Today, he has bought another 100,000 gold jewelry shells and arranged his departure in the morning and evening to catch up with the birthday of June 15. The younger brother thinks that this set is ill-gotten wealth, what is the obstacle? You can discuss a reason and go halfway to get it. Heaven knows it, and it is not sinful. ”
The reason liu Tang used to impress Chao Gai was that the birthday gang was a people's fat and people's paste that Liang Zhongshu had looted, and it was ill-gotten wealth. The hijacking of ill-gotten gains is, of course, a just act. This is morally valid for the average person. Therefore, Chao Gai would be moved, abandoning the decent and legitimate profession of Dongxi Village Baozheng and fighting with the brothers. After Chao Gai came to power, breakthroughs were made in both external business expansion and internal organizational construction.
First of all, the number of leaders who were able to do so increased greatly, from five in Wang Lun's time to twelve. Moreover, in addition to those with outstanding martial arts, there are also resourceful Wu Yong and Ruan Thi Sanxiong, who is good at water warfare, and the talent category is greatly enriched. In this way, in response to external challenges, a major victory was immediately achieved, and the officers and men sent by the Jeju prefect were defeated.
At that time, the Jeju regimental envoy Huang An led two thousand men and horses to come to suppress it. Liangshan's men and horses were only seven or eight hundred. However, the Liangshan people defeated Huang An. Huang An himself was captured alive, with one or two hundred soldiers captured and more than six hundred good horses captured. These horses greatly enhanced Liangshan's strength.
Second, Chao Gai set a hard rule for the Liangshan organization not to kill innocents indiscriminately.
As a copycat organization, it is impossible not to rob passing merchants. There are many people and horses in the cottage, and it is impossible to maintain basic survival without property. However, ordinary cottages not only rob property, but also often kill passing merchants. But Chao Gai changed this practice.
Shortly after Liangshan's initial resistance to the victory of the officers' encirclement and suppression, Xiao Minluo came to report: "Leader Zhu has heard about the merchants, there are dozens of people in one place, and tonight they will pass through the dry road. Chao Gai said, "There is no golden veil to use." "Send the leader down the hill now. Chao Gai deliberately divided the payment: "Only the gold and treasure can be taken well, and the lives of the merchants must not be harmed." “
After snatching more than twenty cars of gold and silver and forty or fifty donkey mule heads, chao gai's first question was, "Haven't you killed anyone?" Xiao Minluo replied, "When many of the guests saw that we were coming, they all left the car, the head, and the luggage, and fled for their lives, and did not hurt him a single one." Chao Gai saw the great joy and made a rule: "I will not hurt anyone from now on." ”
"Hitting homes and robbing houses" is bound to indiscriminately kill innocents and kill good people by mistake. "Robbing the rich and helping the poor" has taken a big step. In the social situation at that time, the rich were either from the wrong source of wealth or were unkind to the rich. Therefore, limiting the target of robbery to "rich people" can largely avoid indiscriminate killing of innocents.
Therefore, after Chao covered Liangshan, he distinguished Liangshan from the old Liangshan under the leadership of Wang Lun and other ordinary grasses through the new value of "robbing the rich and helping the poor".
Chao Gai's indisputable heart also harmed himself, and after ascending the mountain from the Song River, all military operations large and small on Liangshan were commanded by Song Jiang, such as attacking Zhujiazhuang, Gaotang Prefecture, Linking Horses, Collecting Three Mountains, and Taking Huazhou. Everything has almost nothing to do with Chao Gai, Chao Gai is a real person with no intentions, every time he goes down the mountain, Song Jiang is scrambling to go, the credit is his, the limelight is his, and the good man who receives it is because of him. But after all, these are also for the sake of Liangshan Po, Chao Gai will not fight for these, nor will he think too much, so every time he goes out on the expedition, Chao Gai actually let Song Jiang go, and his ideas have never insisted.
But this can't work, it's very simple, Chao Gai is the lord of Liangshan, and Song Jiang is not, Song Jiang has achieved the master of high power, completely empty Chao Gai, Chao Gai is also a bloody man, he is the real lord of Liangshan, he can endure once, Huangmen Mountain Sijie is just because he heard Song Jiang's name, get off his horse and worship, and run to Liangshan. He could bear the second time, a good man like Lu Zhishen praised Song Jiang: Song Sanlang was good today, and Song Sanlang was good tomorrow. But the third thing, he couldn't stand a horse thief Duan Jingzhu actually said that the jianghu only heard the name of the rain in time, there was no way to see, and he wanted to sacrifice this horse to the leader, and the right to express my intention to enter. Not only Chao Gai, but I also have to ask, who is the lord of Liangshan Po in the end? At this point, there is really no one to endure, because a horse thief actually does not take Chao Gai as the leader, so go down, Chao Gai's words are still listening, I can not do it, but you can not ignore my existence, this is the truth, so Chao Gai desperately wants to save his prestige on the cottage, so the battle of Zengtou City is difficult to avoid.
In fact, when the Song River ascended Liangshan, Chao Gai's ruling power was already under obvious threat. Song Jiang was imprisoned after being denounced by Huang Wenbing for writing anti-poems in Jiangzhou, and Chao Gai was horrified when he learned of it, so he asked the leaders to order people and horses, go down the mountain to fight Jiangzhou, and rescue Song Sanlang to go up the mountain. In just a few words, Chao Gai's concern for Song Jiang jumped on the paper. Chao Gai's life was not chaotic in an instant when he was shot in Zengtou City, but when he learned that Song Jiang was in danger of dying, he was so panicked and anxious. After Song Jiang escaped from danger, he had no choice but to settle in Liangshan, which he had always avoided. For a long time, Chao Gai's love for Song Jiang was not under Hua Rong and Li Kui. Chao Gai rescued his father to Liangshan on behalf of Song Jiang, and whenever Song Jiang lost the battle, Chao Gai always did not forget to send his leader down the mountain to help. However, what Song Jiang thanked was only the great efforts of all the good men to save them, and deliberately ignored Chao Gai's kindness. He went down the mountain to retrieve his father and brother, and asked for instructions from the leaders, not Chao Gai. Song Jiang deliberately attracted people's hearts and minds and expanded his power, and at this time, he already had the idea of emptying the sky. Chao Gai probably didn't understand Song Jiang's intentions, and said indignantly, "How did Brother Xian say that!" If it weren't for the bloody sea of involvement of the wise brothers in the first place, who saved the lives of me and seven other people on the mountain, how could there be a crowd today? You are the benefactor of the cottage. If you don't sit, who sits? But Song Jiang said, "Brother Ren, on the matter of nianya, the elder brother is also ten years older, if Song Jiang sits down, won't he be ashamed of himself?" Chao Gai was not thinking about his own power and gains and losses, he was the supreme of benevolence and righteousness, and he wanted to give way to Song Jiang. In Song Jiang's view, Chao Gai was the lord of Liangshan only because he was a little older, not because he was righteous and wealthy, and his reputation was outstanding. Song Jiang's words are the same as those of Wu with the leadership of Tui Chao Gai during the birth anniversary, and seem to imply that anyone who can surpass Chao Gai can take his place. Song Jiang deliberately ignored Chao Gai's authority, seized every opportunity as possible to make a contribution, and finally forced Chao Gai to kill himself, and everything was handled seamlessly. In Song Jiang's history of power, the curve to seize the throne should be the most wonderful thing he did. Whenever a group of new leaders went up the mountain, the lord of Chao Gai's village should have properly arranged the seat and status of the new leader, but he actually let Song Jiang take over the lord and preemptively made malicious arrangements, so that the barriers between the new and old leaders on Liangshan were clear, and there was already a hidden meaning of fighting each other and emulating their masters. Song Jiang said: "The merits of the rest are high, and the old leaders of Liangshan Bo and his party go to the left main seat to sit, and the new leaders go to the right guest seat to sit, and when the amount of contribution will be made in the future, then another decision will be made." "Whether Song Jiang is hinting at the new leaders of the mountain, you will follow me Song Jiang to build a career and share the wealth!" After Chao Gai's death, Song Jiang changed the Juyi Hall to Zhongyi Hall, arranging every leader and every corner of Liangshan without leaking, and his ambition to replace Chao Gai was clear at this moment.
The differences in political opinions between Chao Gai and Song Jiang in the later period were superficially deep and meaningful, but in fact they were already inseparable. On his deathbed, Chao Gai said a very intriguing sentence to Song Jiang: Xiandi take care. If the one who catches and shoots me will teach him to be the Lord of Liangshan!" Once upon a time, Chao Gai wanted to give way to Song Jiang, but now, he is obviously unwilling to let Song Jiang take over the political power, and his words are clearly a complete denial of Song Jiang. At the same time, it is also impossible to deny the fact that Chao Gai had a grudge against Song Jiang before his death. Before his death, Chao Gai used his power to control the crowd for the last time, and made a last word in public about the rise and fall of Liangshan, Chao Gai believed that the person who could avenge himself must be a person who was superior in martial arts and broad-minded to lead the crowd, but he obviously underestimated the wisdom and means used by Song Jiang and Wu, and his will was doomed to failure.
You must know that Chao Gai has always regarded several good men of the Birth Anniversary Gang as his own flesh and blood brothers, and his love for Song Jiang is even more above these good men, for the sake of Song Jiang, he can even not even want his own life. As for Wu Yong, he is even more a buddy who has been friends with him since childhood. But Chao Gai never expected that in the end, these two people who were regarded as their closest relatives would join hands to play tricks and conspiracies with themselves everywhere, and force themselves to the end of the road step by step. How painful and chilling this made Chao Gai! He has always attached great importance to human life and brotherhood. When San Nguyen went down the mountain to rob, Chao Gai told him not to harm people's lives, and after San Nguyen robbed the property and went up the mountain, Chao Gai did not say anything about the gold and silver he obtained, but only cared about whether San Nguyen was innocent. He was still so kind to passers-by who he didn't know, let alone Song Jiang? Chao Gai was afraid of bleeding, the blood of innocent people, and he was even more afraid of stabbing Song Jiang's heart, even though Song Jiang repeatedly hurt him. Chao Gaishi did not want to quarrel with Song Jiang to the point where he broke the righteousness of Grace and the fish died and the net was broken, and no matter how deep his resentment towards Song Jiang was, after all, he still could not go deep enough to save Song Jiang's past kindness that he had always felt in his heart. This had become an invisible barrier in Chao Gai's heart, a moral barrier that he could never cross. Since he couldn't bear to hurt Song Jiang's heart, Chao Gai had no choice but to tolerate it and tolerate it again.
Liangshan encountered strong enemies several times, and every time Chao Gai wanted to lead his troops down the mountain to conquest, he was blocked by Song Jiang with a sentence of "Brother is the lord of a village, how can you move lightly", chao gai had to tolerate it again and again. When Chao Gai couldn't bear it, he didn't listen to dissuasion and decided to attack Zengtou City, only because he, like most men, lived to breathe a breath and could not withstand the repeated contempt and humiliation of others. Dignity cannot be trampled upon, even if you know that you are dead, you must die with dignity and integrity. Chao Gai has his principles of being a man - most benevolent and righteous people have their own principles of doing things, they can abandon their ideals, but they will never change their principles easily, while politicians and conspirators often do the opposite. Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Kuangyi, shamelessly told Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, that he had won over his barbarism, while Li Yu had lost in his elegance. In this way, did Song Jiang win over his hypocrisy and resignation, while Chao Gai lost on his integrity and benevolence? Song Jiang could return to the Water Margin for only one person, causing the people to be subjected to military resistance, and in order to achieve his goals, he often harmed the people, and he was at ease, and even proud. Chao Gai couldn't do it, stepping on the tired white bone to climb up, he couldn't bear it. Although he dominated Liangshan, what permeated his bones was the awe-inspiring righteousness of a chivalrous guest. The reason why Chao Gai was able to honor the lord of Liangshan Village was mainly because he was open-minded and eager to be righteous. However, open-mindedness is careless, and benevolence is less defensive, which may also be the main reason for burying his position of power and even his life. What kind of ability a person has is doomed to take what kind of road and how big things to achieve, and the cultivation of a kind of ability is mainly determined by personality and qualifications, which is also the ultimate end of success or failure in doing anything.
When Song Jiang accepted zhao'an, surrendered to the imperial court, and prepared to go on a campaign against Daliao, Song Jiang and others sacrificed the Chao Heavenly King. Then incinerate the spirit card. Until the final return of the Banshi to the Dynasty, Song Jiang did not ask Chao Gai for any posthumous titles and rewards. A good man, in the end, the dust returned to the dust, the soil returned to the soil, obliterated, and could not help but sigh, whether it was Song Jiang's thin feelings, who can know. As the lord of a village, Chao Gai actually despised and neglected his generals, causing everyone to deviate from morality. The root cause of the political sea, the lack of skill in driving the boat, and the defect of Chao Gai as a person lies in his neglect of politics and short of strategy. He claimed to be the king and hegemon on Liangshan, but he just wanted to be in love with his brothers forever and share the wealth. Once he recognizes someone as a brother, he will treat each other with affection first, but lack of foresight and foresight. In his view, Liangshan is a pure land on earth, and it is not allowed for those who are widowed and righteous, who steal chickens and dogs, to go up to the mountain to defile, even if he has the ability. In contrast, Song Jiang, who was bent on becoming an official in the dynasty and making a name for future generations, had a far-reaching political vision. For him, Liangshan was only a temporary place, and Song Jiang needed a large number of talents to help him realize his life ambitions, so he often condescended and demoted to win people's hearts. There are more than a hundred good men in Liangshan, with different characters, and Song Jiang certainly has people he doesn't like, but he can tolerate him and entrust him with heavy responsibilities, and he can't do it in exchange for Chao Gai. Chao Gai is too pure, whether it is to people or things... Chao Gai is happy to marry heroic, but he is clumsy in communication. With the growing power of Liangshan and the growing of Song Jiang's henchmen, Chao Gai did not calm down and think about a plan to save the dangerous situation and regain his might, but was impatient and restless, and did something self-righteous and counterproductive. In any era, if you want to hold power or achieve great things, good interpersonal relationships are always the most solid backing. Unfortunately, Chao Gai is too bright and honest to see the unavoidable ugliness and cruelty behind the power tricks.
Jin Pingyue: Reading "Water Margin" to this point, I was so relieved; and when I saw the ancient book, I sighed: Woo woo That's it! Fu Chaogai wanted to beat Zhu Jiazhuang, then Song Jiang advised: The lord of the brother's cottage, do not move lightly. Chao Gai wanted to fight Gao Tang Prefecture, and Song Jiang advised him: The lord of the brother's cottage, do not move lightly. Chao Gai wanted to fight Qingzhou, but he also advised: The lord of the brother's cottage, do not move lightly. If you want to fight Huazhou, you also advise: The lord of the brother's cottage, do not move lightly. Why did he fight Zengtou City, and Song Jiangmo did not try to say a word? Song Jiangmo did not utter a word, and Chao Gai died in forced labor. Now I can't know what happened, but the gentleman looks at his calligraphy, pushes his situation, leads Xu Shizi not to taste the medicine of the scriptures to break the prison, and covers the Song Jiang Chao Gai one stroke as a must not be Yu Ye. This is not shi Wengong's arrow, but it is really from Song Jiang's hand; it is not that Song Jiang knows that the five tigers of Zengtou City can die and cannot be rescued. The death of Chao Gai today is not what Song Jiang expected, but Song Jiang's death of Chao Gai is not a one-day wish.
Fu Song Jiang will not allow Chao Gai to go down the mountain, do not want Chao Gai to have a cottage, and do not want everyone to have Chao Gai. The husband does not want Chao Gai to have a cottage, but the cottage is sincere and there is no Chao Gai, which is song Jiang's great pleasure. And he did not want to make everyone still have Chao Gai, then although Fu Chao Gai did not die from Shi Wengong's arrow, he died in the hearts of the people in the upper hall and the hall. If so, Chao Gai's death today in Shi Wengong is the rest of Chao Yi. The death of Ruofu Chao gai has been very long and long. If it is and Chao Gai is shocked, Chao Gai is dead and frightened, but Shi Wen Gongzhi and the Five Tigers of the Zeng Clan have it; if the heart of Song Jiang is broken, Gu Chao Gai goes and yiran, chao gai dies and Yi Ran also.
