Song Jiang let Chao Gai go privately, is it righteous anger or something else

The episode of Song Jiang privately releasing Chao Gai is one of the famous episodes in the Water Margin, and it is also an important event that reflects Song Jiang's righteousness, so is Song Jiang's private release of Chao Gai really because of his deep righteousness? Or is it something else? Let's start by reviewing the ins and outs of the incident.

Seven people, including Chao Gai and Zhiduoxing Wu Yong, robbed the Birth Gang, but because Bai Sheng, the white rat, was arrested, the matter was revealed, and the government sent He Observation to arrest him. Song Jiang was on duty at the time, and after learning about the incident, he first stabilized He Guan, and hurried to Chao Gai to inform the county of the incident. Later, he hurried back and persuaded the prefect to arrest people again at night to buy time for Chao Gai and the others to retreat.

At that time, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, who were the main and deputy heads, were all Song Jiang brothers, and they had always admired Chao Gai's personality, and the bearded man Zhu Tong deliberately fell and slowed down the speed of the pursuit, so that Chao Gai was able to get out safely.

After reading the review of the incident, if we want to understand the reason why Song Jiang secretly released Chao Gai, we have to consider one more question, that is, where did Song Jiang's money come from? Is it his family's own financial resources, which can be compared with Chai Jin of the Later Zhou Sect? The answer is definitely no, what did Song Jiang rely on to gain the same reputation as Chai Jin on the rivers and lakes?

I think there are two main points, the Song family does have a certain amount of financial resources, and the other is that Song Jiang knows how to interact with people, which can be seen from Song Jiang's later acquaintance with the walker Wu Song in Chai Jinzhuang.

On the one hand, Song Jiang's financial resources are the support of the family, but more importantly, the gray income of his own charge, and it can even be said that the gray income is the main ** of his financial resources, because you must know that Song Jiang has always been known for filial piety, and if it is by gnawing the old, it must be contrary to its filial piety, so Song Jiang's wealth mainly comes from gray income, which can be proved in the gray income section of Chao Gai to Lei Heng, as well as the Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong's request for money, Lin Chong, Wu Song, etc. were asked to give benefits in the prison camp and other plots. Just like when Yan Poxi was arguing with Song Jiang, she asked Song Jiang for one hundred taels of gold from Chao Gai: "When a public man sees money, he sees blood like a fly." Therefore, a large part of Song Jiang's financial resources comes from his own gray income, and he is accustomed to it and knows it well.

The second analysis is its nickname, the original text said that Song Jiang and the family filial piety, for the sake of righteousness and wealth, people call him "filial piety Hei Saburo", of course, filial piety here refers to the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, so Song Jiang chose to release Chao Gai privately also for the sake of the reputation of the rivers and lakes, but also his habitual trick of collecting gray income and winning personal reputation, is his habit of walking on the edge of the rivers and lakes and the court.

Combining these two points, let's take a look at the incident of Song Jiang's private release of Chao Gai, we can see that Song Jiang is not so much for righteousness as for fame and fortune, fame is to win the reputation of righteousness on the rivers and lakes, and the benefit is that Song Jiang thinks that he must be able to make great profits in the future by ventilating Chao Gai, and later Chao Gai sent him ten gold bars to explain this problem.

Song Jiang's private release of the Chao Gai incident was for the sake of righteousness!

Hello! Reading the Water Margin, we are conquered by the righteousness of the heroes. A righteous word, Song Jiang privately let Chao Gai go, and killed Yan Po in anger; A righteous word, Lu Zhishen thousands of miles to protect the forest, making trouble in the wild boar forest; A righteous word Wu Song's bloody blade Pan Jinlian, fighting and killing Ximen Qing.

It only represents a personal opinion, don't spray if you don't like it, thank you.

Song Jiang privately released Chao Tianwang: After Chao Gai robbed the Birth Gang, the government went around to arrest the suspect, Bai Sheng confessed to Sheng Rubber Chao Gai and others because he was tortured, and the government was ready to arrest Chao Gai immediately, after Song Jiang learned about it, he reported it to Chao Gai in time, and Chao Gai was able to prepare and escape the arrest of the government.

Chao Gai, the second owner of Liangshanbo, a native of Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, Shandong, Baozheng of Dongxi Village, and the rich man of his hometown. He has excellent martial arts, outstanding martial arts, righteousness and wealth in his life, righteousness and thin clouds, loves to make friends with heroes in the world, and is famous in the rivers and lakes.

He likes to stab the gun and make the stick, is strong, does not marry a wife, and works hard all day long, and is a good man who really dares to ask for the people's life, showing his heroic nature like a sea. Legend has it that the neighboring village of Xixi Village was haunted, and the villagers dug a bluestone pagoda town by the stream, and the ghost was driven to Dongxi Village.

Chao Gai. and Song Jiang, both of which are Yuncheng County, Shandong.

Fellows. When the Birthday Gang case occurred, Song Jiang took the risk of letting Chao Gai go privately, and later Chao Gai went to Jiangzhou to rob the law field in person in order to save Song Jiang, and the two of them can definitely be regarded as friends of life and death.

But before Chao Gai was dying, he said that whoever could take revenge was the master of the cottage. The problem is that Song Jiang was already Liangshan's second-in-command at that time, and Chao Gai's establishment of this will was obviously putting Song Jiang's cold arrow. It shows that the relationship between the two has basically broken down at this time, and Chao Gai does not want to give up the position of the master of the cottage to Song Jiang.

What's going on?

After Song Jiang was rescued from Liangshan, he sat in the second position in the Juyi Hall. Song Jiang was noisy at that time, saying that the credit for the rest was high, and let Liang Shanbo be bored.

The original old man sits on the left, and the new one sits on the right. This time, it immediately highlighted the "few people" of the original leader of Liangshan, and there were many new leaders on the mountain, Song Jiang used a large number of people to suppress Chao Gai, and the original credit was ignored, which also denied Chao Gai's right to speak on Liangshan.

Song Jiang is willing to spend money on the rivers and lakes, has a wide range of contacts, and has more appeal than Chao Gai. What's more, Song Jiang has read books, and he looks down on the coarse Chao Gai from his heart, and he will not be willing to live under him.

The contradiction between the two is more important in Zhao'an. Song Jiang strongly advocated Zhao'an, Chao Gai was obviously reluctant to recruit An, and wanted to be a happy cottage boss, and mix it up for a day. And Chao Gai's subordinates are obviously reluctant to accept Zhao'an, such as Ruan Xiaoqi.

The incident of stealing the imperial liquor. However, Song Jiang has brains, and he uses Wu, the most important military advisor of the Chaogai group.

pulled to his side and attracted a large number of heroes with high social status. Within Liangshan, the Songjiang faction was obviously more powerful than the Chaogai faction. Chao Gai's side is nothing more than Sanruan, Liu Tang.

These rough people can no longer compete with Song Jiang's power.

After Song Jiang went to Liangshan, he began to establish his prestige, and even obstructed Chao Gai from going down the mountain to make contributions. Chao Gai is a rough person, but he is not a fool, after a long time, he naturally understands Song Jiang's meaning - to empty himself.

This is where the contradiction arises.

Chao Gai was in Zengtou City soon after.

The arrow died, otherwise the contradiction between the two would continue to develop, and it is difficult to say how it will end in the end. Perhaps, Liangshan will appear to kill Wang Lun.

After the second fire and.

I don't think the relationship between the two is good. Because of their conflicting interests, neither of them was convinced of the other at that time, and they both wanted to sit on the top spot in Liangshan.

Their relationship on the surface is still very good, because they have saved each other's lives, but Song Jiang and Chao Gai also have a certain Jingzhen relationship, but they can't show it.

In the early stage, Chao Gai and Song Jiang had a very good relationship, they admired each other very early, and they felt sorry for each other when they met.

Speaking of Song Jiang in "Water Margin", I think you will think of Song Jiang secretly letting Chao Gai go. Do you think Song Jiang is right or wrong to let the dynasty go privately? I'm sure you'll say he's a chivalrous man.

But my answer is the opposite, and if you hear what I'm thinking, you'll think it's wrong.

First, we have to look at why we went to jail. Because he didn't give the money to the right people, but spent it as his own. At this point, he did not tremble and did it right. And he deserves to go to jail.

But what about Song Jiang, he failed He Tao's hopes. He Tao trusted Qiao Kong so much to defeat him, but what about Song Jiang, he actually betrayed He Tao. I really feel worthless for He Tao.

You may think that it is a good thing for Song Jiang to let Chao Gai go, but if you think about it carefully, Song Jiang, he disregarded the interests of the country, only thought about himself, and only let Chao Gai go, which killed more than 1,000 people's sexual names and hurt He Tao's ears. You may also think that Song Jiang, he didn't even know his own name, and his spirit is also very valuable for his brother, which can also be said to be "chivalrous", but his "chivalry" is actually this narrow sense.

His narrow sense can be called a small sense. And what is true chivalry? It was those medical workers who risked their lives to rush to Wuhan to save those in need. And these can be called righteousness.

In life, there are many righteous people and many small righteous people. But a righteous person like Song Jiang really can't be called chivalrous. In addition, when we do things, we must also think about others, not just ourselves.

can't be like Song Jiang, who rescued Chao Gai but killed more than 1,000 people. also deceived He Tao.
