Song Jiang, named Gong Ming, was the first person in the whole water margin and the leader of Liangshan Rebel Army. Song Jiang ranked first among the top 100 generals and ranked first among the top 36 stars in the highest day. Nicknamed Hu, also known as Timely Rain, is known as Xiaoyi Kursaburo. Short stature and dark complexion. Originally from Yasi, Yuncheng County, Shandong Province, he has always been brave, spending money like water, making friends, and is famous for his timely rain. Because Huangnigang grabbed the birthday class to sell dates, Song Jiang informed Classical of the news of loyalist He Qing's pursuit. Classical and others sent Liu Tang to send letters (invitation bags) and 120 gold as a reward. Unexpectedly, this letter fell into the hands of his concubine Yan Poxi. Helpless, Song Jiang was annoyed with Yan Poxi and sent him to Jiangzhou to meet Li Kui jy. But he was sentenced to death for writing an anti-poem in Xunyang Building. Thanks to the rescue of Liangshan heroes, Song Jiang was rescued in Liangshan in the execution ground and served as the lieutenant.
Later, when attacking Zengtou City, Chao Gai was shot in the face by a poisonous arrow and died, so he took the top spot. Since then, the theme of Liangshan has changed from Juyitang to Loyalty Hall, and the number of leaders has increased to 108. They defeated Tong Guan, Gao Qiong and other places, captured Gao Taiwei alive, and Liangshan reached its peak. In the future, Song Jiang led many people to woo the court and won a great victory in the northern expedition to Liao, forcing the Liao master to surrender. During the single-handedly attacking the Fang La Uprising Army, more than half of Liangshan heroes were killed or injured. Although Fang La was finally captured alive, Song Jiang himself was poisoned by royal wine.
Looking forward to "Thirty-six People in Sung River"
-Talking about the Notes on the Exploration of Water Margin
This paper mainly studies the actual personnel and ranking order of thirty-six leaders below Song Jiang, and criticizes the feudal loyalty thoughts of the authors of Water Margin, Legacy of the Great Song Dynasty and A Brief Introduction to the East, which are advocating Song (Jiang), belittling Chao (Gai) and opposing corrupt officials but not the emperor.
In 130 volume of "Biography of East Duliu Hou Meng", Wang Song said: "Song Jiangkou JD.COM wrote a letter to Chen Zhi, which said:' Song Jiangkou took 36 people and ran past Heshuo and JD.COM. Tens of thousands of loyalists dare not resist, and their materials will prevail. If you surrender without forgiveness, you will ask Fang La to atone, or it will be enough to quell the rebellion in the southeast. "Hui Zong said,' If you live a leisurely life, you won't forget your monarch, and you will be loyal to your minister.' Ever since I learned about Dongping House, I can't die. "The' 36 people' mentioned here undoubtedly refers to 36 leaders. Who are these 36 people? Song Gongkai said in "Song Jiang's Thirty-six People Praise and Merge": "Song Jiang's story was seen in the street, and it was about things in the alley, so he didn't jump. Although Gao Ru and Song Li wrote biographies, scholars also saw them. When I was young, I was strong and wanted to celebrate the painting, so I didn't dare to take it lightly because I didn't see the facts in the letter. I saw a book about assistant minister Hou Meng. In "A Brief Introduction to the East", Chen Zhi's plan was as follows:' Song Jiang ran through Heshuo and JD.COM with 36 men, and tens of thousands of loyalists dared not fight, so his materials would be superior. If you don't forgive or surrender, ask Fang La for atonement, or you can quell the rebellion in the southeast. "I later learned that Jiang's generation is really contemporary. So thirty-six people praised each other and praised each other. ……"
The "Thirty-six Song Jiang people" praised by Gong Jia are: Hu Song Jiang, Zhi Duo Xing Yong, Yu Qilin Lu Junyi; Broadsword Guan Sheng, live Ruan, red-haired ghost Liu Tang, no arrow, prodigal Yan Qing, sick Wei Chi Sun Li, white stripe Zhang Shun in Langli, boat fire Zhang Heng, short-lived Jiro Ruan Xiaoer, flower monk Lu, Walker, iron whip Hu Yanchuo, Za Jiulong Shi Jin, Xiao Lihua Glory, Thunderstorm Qin Ming, Black Cyclone likui jy, Small Cyclone Chai. Dong Ping, two-headed snake Jie Zhen, bearded Zhu Tong, never stop, desperately saburo Shi Xiu, Jebel, two-tailed scorpion, classical iron king, golden gun squad Xu Ning, Mars. Put Song Jiang in the first place, take him as the representative, and write his name as "Song Jiang Thirty-six People Praise" on the topic; Actually put classical music in the 34th place.
Before Song Jiang joined in, Classical was the chief leader of Juyi in Shanzhai. After Song Jiang joined the partnership, he was only a second-in-command under Classical. However, why did Gong Kai praise Song Jiang so highly and belittle Classical? This is because Song Jiang named himself "Hu Baoyi" (meaning "Hu Qunbaoyi"). He did not oppose the emperor and called on everyone to remain loyal to him. He was loyal to the emperor and wholeheartedly hoped to win over and serve the court, so he did not "arrogantly" claim to be king; Classical claimed to be the "Iron King" and wanted to compete with the Emperor Dasong. Gong Kai, the author of Legacy of the Great Song Dynasty and Water Margin, has strong feudal orthodoxy, only opposing corrupt officials and not opposing the emperor, advocating loyalty to the emperor and maintaining the supreme rule of the emperor, so he highly praised Song Jiang and belittled classical Chinese.
There is a cloud in the seventy-first chapter of "The Legend of the Water Margin": "In the classical era, I was afraid of dying young for the king; However, Song Jiang is willing to call on the masses to protect righteousness and take the village as the head. Don't talk about meeting in the mountains, I prefer to look at the Langsi from a distance. "To tell the truth. Gong Kai also said: "I tried to do what Jiang did. Although I can't sell myself short, my knowledge is outstanding. The title is neither arrogant nor extravagant, and the name is just like that, but it still follows the track, although it can be recorded. In ancient times, it was called the thief saint, and it stood out because of its prevention. If you cross the river, you will be almost in danger. Although, the other side is integrated with the river, it is a thief who can't leave, and it is also a thief who is not ashamed. In case the world's chaotic ministers and thieves are afraid of the shadows and are happy, and their actions are close to each other, the disaster will not flow to the world. Oh! And his followers who meet saints, it's like a foot and a river? "The sage here refers to Fang La. In Shao's "Discrimination on Zhai Bo", he said: "La became a saint and changed to Yuan Yongle." Gong Kai was disgusted that Fang La claimed to be the emperor and changed his name to Yongle. He thinks that he is not as good as Song Jiang's "fame is neither extravagant nor extravagant, fame is neither arrogant nor impetuous, but he still follows suit". Gong praised "Hu Songjiang" and said: "It's true to be king, but Hu. Is it taboo to be crazy? "
He regarded Dong Zhuo and Fang La as "traitors and traitors" and could not understand the essential difference between Dong Zhuo and Fang La. The "king" of "king" refers to the emperor, not the "king" of "princes" below the emperor. He praised the cloud "Liu Tang is eight feet": "A general is short, so you call him Hou Wang. Aren't you a husband? Your legs are eight feet long? " It can be proved that "it is ok to call a marquis" and obey the emperor, but it can never be called an emperor, because the traditional thinking holds that there are no two kings in the country. Classical self-proclaimed "iron king", Gong Kai was dissatisfied with this. Therefore, in his evaluation of the "iron king", there is a phrase "stubborn iron casts you", which is linked with "stubborn iron" to belittle the classical stubbornness and reduce him from the first place to the thirty-fourth place.
During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Wu Ming's Song Xuanhe Legacy, Gao Wenxiu's Black Whirlwind Double Contribution, Li's Tongleyuan's Yan Qing Zaju, Kang's Liangshan Park's Black Whirlwind Zaju, Wu Ming's Huang Hua Yu, Yuan Ming's Water Margin and Luo Guanzhong's Zaju. But Song Jiang is willing to call Tuan Baoyi and take Zhai as the head. Thirty-six people in Song Jiang written anonymously in The Legacy of Xuanhe in Da Song Dynasty are not exactly the same as those written by Gong Kai.
There is a story in The Legacy of Xuanhe: When the traitor Zhu Cuo was transporting the Huashi Gang, he sent Yang Zhi and Lu (the original Li of Huang Pi Lie) to escort her husband to Jinyi, Lin Chong, Huarong Road, Chai Jin, Xu Ning, Mu Heng, Guan Sheng and Sun Li to Taihu Lake. The twelve men received the letter, became sworn brothers, and vowed to help each other when the disaster happened. Ten people, including Lu (Huang Ben) and Jin Yi, have arrived in Bianjing. Only Yang Zhi waited for Sun Li in Yingzhou, but the door was closed by heavy snow. He was poor and hungry, so he had to sell Baodao in the market. A young villain made trouble for no reason, pestered him endlessly and was killed by Yang Zhi. The satrap sentenced Yang Zhi to be born and burned, and the cangue was matched with Weizhou Military City. When I met Sun Li, I asked Yang Zhi why he committed a crime. Yang Zhi told me the reason, and everyone left. Sun Li thought that Yang Zhi committed this crime because he was waiting for me. I vowed to save him in adversity. So the starry night ran back to the capital and reported Yang Zhi's purpose to Lu (Huang) and others. Eleven people discussed it and went to the bank of the Yellow River to wait for Yang Zhilai. Kill the soldiers and go with Taihang Mountain to become an outlaw. It was the second year of Xuanhe. In May, Liang Shibao, who stayed in Beijing, sent Ma Anguo, the county magistrate, and his party to Beijing to celebrate Taishi's birthday on the first day of June.
One afternoon, Ma Anguo and others went to Wuhuaying levee and rested in the shade of the roadside. They saw eight big men, one of whom was carrying a pair of buckets, and also came to rest. Captain Ma County was hungry and sleepy, so he bought two bottles of wine and made the whole party drink some. He doesn't want to be completely knocked unconscious. The golden beads and precious satin horses in the cage were all taken away by the eight big men. Ma Xianwei and others woke up in the middle of the night, and the staff was gone. When they saw a pair of barrels being pulled aside, they picked them up and went to Nanluo County to tell the magistrate Yin Daliang why. Yin Daliang asked the clerk to identify the barrel. Seeing the words "Hometown of Hops" on the barrel, he sent Wang Ping, the arresting officer, to investigate. Wang Ping went to Wuhuayingqian Village and saw that the wine flag said "Nine Seas and Flowers", so he arrested the shopkeeper Hua Yue and asked Zhang Danian to investigate. About the day before the flower confession, eight men came to eat wine at noon, saying that they were going to burn incense in Yue Temple, borrowed a pair of barrels, bought wine, picked out the barrels, and left. Zhang asked the names of the eight big men. The first one was Chao Gai, the Iron King, who lived in Yuncheng County. Led by Wu Jialiang, Liu Tang, Qin Ming, Ruan Jin, Ruan Tong, Ruan and Yan Qing. Zhang Danian went on to write about grasping the roots in Yuncheng County.
Sung River in Yuncheng County, after receiving the text message, ran to the newspaper on a starry night to meet Classical and others, and Classical and others fled overnight. At dawn the next day, Sung River arrived and sent Dong Ping with 30 men to Shi Jiecun to catch him. Dong Ping only grabbed Chao Taigong, the father of Chao Gai, tied him with a rope and was responsible for escorting the officer. On the way, Chao Gai and others robbed Chao Taigong, and Dong Ping led people back to the county. Eight people, including Classical, invited twelve people, including Yang Zhi, to become brothers with * * * and become an outlaw in Liangshan Park of Taihang Mountain. Classical reading Song Jiang's Salvation. Angel Liu Tang took Chai Jin and his wife to reward Song Jiang. Song Jiang took the gold hairpin, and Yan Poxi, a prostitute, accepted it and kept it a secret. Yan Poxi learned about history. Song Jiang asked for leave to go home because his father was ill. On the way, he met Du Qian and Zhang Cen, whom he had known before. They make a living by fishing, and I left a big man Suochao to drink in the hotel. In order to capture the classical style, Dong Ping was restrained by a few thick sticks and ran around, just meeting Song Jiang on the road. Suo Chao said that he had done several evil things and was forced to become an outlaw. Song Jiang then wrote a letter recommending these four people to go to a classical school. After Song Jiang returned to China to heal his father, he returned to Yuncheng County. Seeing that Yan Poxi was having an affair with Wei Wu, he killed Yan Poxi and Wei Wu in a rage and fled back to Song Gongzhuang. The magistrate of a county sent Wang Chengling's soldiers and archers to Song Gongzhuang to catch Song Jiang, who escaped and hid in Xuan Nv Temple behind the house for nine days.
Wang Cheng had to take Song Jiang's father with him. Sung River escaped the disaster and thanked Empress Xuan Nv. On the incense table, he saw a scroll of gobbledygook with four poems engraved on it: "The country is broken because of mountains and trees, and the sword and soldiers use water. Once the general was charged, the whole country was in awe. " He realized that what he said here was "Song Jiang". Looking through the gobbledygook, I saw the names of 36 generals:
