Image analysis of Song Jiang in the Water Margin 20

Unlike some made-up characters in "Water Margin", there are indeed people in history. However, the famous Japanese scholar Miyazaki believes that there are two Song rivers in history, one is the thief Song Jiang and the other is the general Song Jiang.

Therefore, we should seriously examine and debate some sporadic records about the Song River recorded in many historical books and literati notes in order to distinguish the historical facts. The following should be Song Jiang as a thief. Wang Yingchen's "Wending Collection: Epitaph of the Bachelor of the Xianmo Pavilion" said:

Hebei drama thief Song Jiang, wanton Mo Zhiyu. Zhang Shou's "Biling Collection, Secret Pavilion Revision of Jiang Yuan's Epitaph" said: "Song Jiangxiao gathered his life, plundered Shandong all the way, and the state and county were large.

Bao Guoan's version of Song Jiang (11 photos) Zhen, the officials are more hidden. "History of the Song Dynasty and Huizong Ji" records that in the third year of Xuanhe (1122), "Huainan robbed Song Jiang and others committed the Huaiyang army, sent generals to arrest, and committed Jingdong (now Shandong), Jiangbei, entered the border of Chuhai Prefecture, and ordered Zhang Shuzhou to surrender at night." It is also mentioned in the "Eastern Capital Affairs" that Hou Meng, the governor of Bozhou at that time, had written to the emperor to suggest:

Song Jiang Kou Jingdong, covered with a book, saying that Song Jiang with 36 people rampant Qi Wei, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, no one who dared to resist, it is better to pardon Jiang, so that Fang La can redeem himself, or enough to calm the rebellion in the southeast." "History of the Song Dynasty: The Night Biography of Uncle Zhang" describes the most detailed: "The Song River started from Heshuo, and the ten counties were omitted, and the officials and soldiers did not dare to infer their fronts.

The announcement is coming, and the uncle night envoy is in the middle of it. The thieves approached the sea, robbed more than ten giant boats, and caught brine. So he recruited a thousand dead soldiers, set up an ambush near the city, and sent light troops to fight the battle of sea lure.

Hide by the seaside first, wait for the army, and set fire to his boat. When the thieves heard it, they had no fighting spirit. The ambush soldiers took advantage of it, and the fowl was its deputy thief, and the river was surrendered.

The History of the Song Dynasty records that in the third year of Emperor Xuanhe of Song Hui (1122), "Huainan robbed Song Jiang and others committed the Huaiyang army, sent generals to arrest them, and then committed Jingdong (now Shandong), Jiangbei, entered the border of Chuhai Prefecture, and ordered Zhang Shu of Zhizhou to surrender at night." There was indeed a Songjiang uprising in history, which is clearly recorded in the History of the Song Dynasty. Through the records of the Song "History of the Song Dynasty", it can be seen that the time of the Song Jiang uprising was from the first year of Xuanhe to the third year of Xuanhe.

The main area of the uprising was in the Taihang Mountains and the northern part of Shandong and Jiangsu, "rampaging through Heshuo and omitting ten counties". The leader of the uprising was Song Jiang. The uprising was of a rogue nature and did not necessarily have a fixed base area.

The uprising ended with a serious setback and surrender. Although the scale of the uprising was not too large, its combat effectiveness was particularly strong, and "tens of thousands of officers and soldiers did not dare to attack it." The impact of the uprising was not small, and the central area of the uprising, Liangshanbo, was only about 100 kilometers away from Bianliang, Tokyo, and seriously threatened the security of the capital.

The areas involved in the uprising were relatively developed in the Northern Song Dynasty. Liangshanbo is a lake in the middle of the Guangji River in the Xuanhe period, and the upper reaches of the Guangji River flows out of the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianliangcheng, and the Guangji River is an important passage of water in Jingdong, occupying the Liangshanbo in the middle of the Guangji River, which can be imagined as the political, economic and military prestige of the Northern Song Dynasty. The story of the Songjiang Uprising can be recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty and widely circulated among the people, which is enough to show its influence.

He has a dark face and a relatively short body, and he is not good-looking. The second is filial piety Hei Saburo, which talks about his treatment of his parents and his filial piety; The third is timely rain, which is about his righteousness and wealth, helping the needy, these three nicknames actually focus on Song Jiang's usual behavior and preferences, and they are all manifestations outside of normal work, such as "love to learn guns and sticks", "spend money like a soldier", "solve difficulties", "help people in difficulty" and so on, in the folk Song Jiang is a warm-hearted person who likes to do good deeds and is willing to do good deeds, whether it is in family ethics or in social relations, he has won everyone's general recognition with his actions.

Treat people with humility, treat people equally, be sensible in all situations, be trustworthy in their words, resourceful and decisive, and have political foresight.
