It is said that the biggest mistake Song Jiang made was not Zhao an, so what is it?

The biggest mistake made by Song Jiang was to rank the heroes of Liangshan, which directly restricted the development and growth of Liangshan and had a very adverse impact on Liangshan. In fact, at that time, the heroes of Liangshan gathered more and more, and it was imperative to set some rules and ranks to strengthen the management of those people. But Song Jiang's mistake was to use the seat to manage those characters with different identities, backgrounds, and abilities, which laid the groundwork for Liangshan's eventual failure.

The first reason is that the ranking of seats is not conducive to other heroes defecting to Liangshan, which restricts Liangshan's channels for recruiting talents. In fact, there were many capable people in the rivers and lakes at that time, and there were not a few people who were willing to go to Liangshan to follow Song Jiang. But Song Jiang ranked the seats from the first to the one hundred and eighth, which means that even if there are capable people with high skills who defect to Liangshan, the highest can only be ranked according to one hundred and nine!

In the face of many people who are average in their own ranking, many capable people are naturally reluctant to join Liangshan anymore.

The second reason is that the ranking of seats has discouraged the enthusiasm of many ordinary soldiers and low-ranking generals to make meritorious contributions, because no matter how much merit they make, there is no room for promotion. No matter what kind of collective it is, it is an eternal truth that meritorious service should be rewarded and promoted. But after the seats were arranged, it was obvious that low-ranking generals and ordinary soldiers could not be promoted to higher positions.

After all, even if an ordinary soldier has made a great contribution, he cannot replace a general of Tiangang or Earthshatter, who is still actively and desperately making meritorious contributions!

The third reason is that the ranking of seats has also exacerbated the contradictions between various forces within Liangshan, making Liangshan more and more disunited. Although on the surface, those people on Liangshan are like brothers, but in fact they are also divided into several factions, such as Song Jiang's faction, Sanshan faction and other power groups. In order to balance the seats of several power groups, Song Jiang's seats were raised, and the seats of some generals were lowered, which naturally caused many people to be dissatisfied.

The biggest mistake was to be the lord of Liangshan. If he insisted on not agreeing to be the leader of Liangshan, he would not have led the matter of recruiting An, and the ending of the people in Liangshan would not be like this.

The biggest mistake Song Jiang made was not Zhao'an, but because he was too confident, too much only believed in himself, and took himself as the center of his interests, and he did not think about these other brothers in Liangshan.

Song Jiang's decision to recruit was correct, as his original intention was to use the power of the imperial court to eliminate peasant uprisings in various places, but the final result was not satisfactory.

First of all, from the perspective of historical background, the Song Dynasty was a dynasty that emphasized literature over military force, and the suspicion of military generals was very serious. Therefore, Song Jiang's choice to take refuge in the imperial court was actually in line with the historical background at that time.

Secondly, from the original intention of Song Jiang, he hoped to use the power of the imperial court to eliminate the peasant uprisings in various places, which was the right idea. However, in practice, Song Jiang and others encountered many difficulties. On the one hand, the suspicion and exclusion of them by the imperial court was inevitable, which made him Jinghe not receive the expected support and help after recruiting An; On the other hand, the peasant uprisings in various places were not completely quelled, which also made it impossible for Song Jiang and others to achieve their goals.

In the end, judging from the results, although Song Jiang and the others achieved some victories, they failed in the end. However, even if Song Jiang and others did not succeed, it cannot be denied that their original choice was wrong. After all, in the historical context of that time, choosing to defect to the imperial court was a decision that was in line with the historical trend.

Therefore, Song Jiang's decision to recruit security was correct, but due to the limitations of history and reality, the expected goal was not achieved in the end.

Song Jiang Zhao'an was right

The Zhao'an line advocated by Song Jiang is undoubtedly the most correct move. He has held a position in the official office, knows the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, and knows that what he and his gang do will never be allowed by the imperial court.

Moreover, although his gang is a little famous, the Great Song Dynasty court does not take it seriously, if it continues to make a mistake, the court will definitely send a large army to crusade, and when the time comes, he will not be able to resist this puddle of water. Don't say anything about the big defeat.

It was just a narrow victory, Gao Yu was not a figure who led troops to fight, and failure was reasonable.

However, there are not a few generals in the Great Song Dynasty who can conquer and fight, if they really provoke the anger of Zhao Guanjia Longyan, and send capable people to lead the heavenly soldiers to arrive, the Liangshan Depression will be wiped out in an instant.

Song Jiang experienced

Songjiang was originally Yuncheng County, Shandong.

Abshi, he and Chaogai.

The matter of communication was discovered by Yan Poxi, so he killed Yan Poxi in anger and fled home to hide. After that, he went to Qingfeng Village to take refuge in Huarong.

was framed and imprisoned by Liu Gao's wife when he was watching the lanterns in Qingfeng Village. On the way to escort the Li bench to Shen Qingzhou, he was rescued by Yan Shun and others.

On the way to Liangshan, he learned that his father had died of illness, and when he went home to mourn, he was caught and sent to Jiangzhou. He was sentenced to death for writing anti-poems in Xunyang Building, Jiangzhou, but on the day of execution, he was rescued by the people of Liangshan and defected to Liangshan.

After being shot dead in the attack on Chao Gai in Zengtou City, Song Jiang sat in the first place, and won two victories over Tong Guan and three victories over Gao Yu. After accepting Zhao'an, he led the Liangshan men to attack the Liao State.

Pingding Tianhu and Fang La.

After being made an official by the imperial court, he was killed by Cai Jing.

Tong Guan and Gao Yu were framed, poisoned, and buried in Tateerwa.

As one of the four famous works in the history of literature, everyone is familiar with its characters and stories, and I have read or listened to the book many times, but most of the time I saw or heard that the heroes of Liangshan were recruited by the court, and I couldn't read it anymore. In fact, more than 80% of the people who have watched "Water Margin" are basically the same as me, thinking Song Jiang.

should not advocate and accept the court's recruitment, so that the heroes of Liangshan will end so tragically in the end. However, there are also some people who think that Song Jiang Zhao'an is right, otherwise Liangshan will eventually perish. So is Song Jiang Zhao'an right or wrong?

In fact, I think Song Jiang's idea of recruiting an is right, but there is a big problem with his way of becoming an official after recruiting An, which led to Song Jiang being in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The court was ostracized, causing his men to suffer with him.

First of all, whether it is from the perspective of Song Jiang's personal and Liangshan's development, Song Jiang's idea of recruiting an is correct. From Song Jiang's personal point of view, he wants a better future and a good name, except for Zhao'an, he will be the emperor himself, but Liangshan's power is not enough to overthrow the Zhao family's world, so Zhao'an is the only way for Song Jiang to realize his ideals.

Secondly, as far as Liangshan at that time is concerned, on the surface it is a thriving scene, but in fact, his development has reached a bottleneck period, and after several major battles with the imperial court, although they have achieved victory, but it has also brought great obstacles to the subsequent development of Liangshan. At the same time, many heroes in Liangshan have already given birth to children, have their own families, and have their own concerns. If an army is raised to overthrow the Great Song Dynasty.

Then even if the brother next to him dies, he may not necessarily succeed. For himself, and for the sake of the brothers of Liangshan, Song Jiang judged the situation and had the idea of recruiting An.

In the end, Liangshan is nothing more than a small place for the Song Dynasty, although Liangshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although the Northern Song Dynasty was corrupt in the last years, but there are still many generals in the court who can fight well, and the number of soldiers is not comparable to that of Liangshan, and many generals who can fight only appear in a dime. Therefore, Liangshan can win a few victories in the short term, but if it persists for a long time, Liangshan will undoubtedly be broken, and when the time comes, the only way out for the heroes of Liangshan is a dead end, just like Fang La.

Wait a minute. In this way, it is inevitable to recruit security.

Therefore, there should be nothing wrong with Zhao'an, but the fault is that after Zhao'an, Song Jiang was targeted everywhere in the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, he did not have a good understanding of the situation in the imperial court, and he believed that only the emperor had real power at that time, so he tried his best to curry favor with the emperor. But the imperial court at that time had been replaced by Cai Jing and Gao Yu.

controlled, Song Jiang had no good impression of these two people, especially the high-ranking man who was born in the city, the so-called offending the gentleman must not offend the villain, plus many people on Liangshan have a deep hatred with these two people.

In the end, under the joint efforts of Gao Yu and Cai Jing, Song Jiang was excluded everywhere in the officialdom, and his subordinate stool Lu was naturally regarded as a consumable for war, fighting for the Great Song Dynasty everywhere, and finally exhausted his efforts and went to perdition.
