If Song Jiang and Fang La Group were not destroyed in the Northern Song Dynasty, would they unite with Song Dynasty to resist Jin when nomadic people invaded?

Sung River Uprising and Fang La Uprising at the end of Northern Song Dynasty were real, but the scale of Sung River Uprising in Water Margin was not as big as that described in Water Margin. The first is the Sung River Uprising, which wrote 108 Liangshan heroes in Shui Bo. In fact, the Sung River Uprising started with 36 people, with activities in Shandong and Jiangsu provinces, with only tens of thousands of respondents. The uprising was suppressed in just two years.

Fang La uprising is much more prosperous. A year after Sung River Uprising, Fang La Uprising broke out. Fang La Uprising broke out on the grounds of punishing Zhu Cuo, one of the "six thieves" in the Northern Song Dynasty. In just a few days, Fang La gathered tens of thousands of followers, blacked out local officials, besieged cities and besieged villages, and captured dozens of counties in just a few months, with millions of respondents at most. The scope of activities was mainly in Zhejiang, and so was the Fang La Uprising.

For the Northern Song Dynasty court, Sung River Uprising and Fang La Uprising were internal rebellions, while Nomads from abroad invaded. These two things are completely different in nature. First of all, the Song Dynasty was unable to destroy the State of Jin and completely solve the foreign invasion. Before the Song Dynasty, it was invaded by other countries. Although it is impossible to win, the problem can be solved through negotiation and payment of old coins. After the state of Jin destroyed Liao, the morale was high, and it wanted to destroy Song in one fell swoop, coupled with political corruption in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The shame of Jingkang

According to the past experience of the Northern Song Dynasty, comparing the nomads from the invasion with Song Jiang, Fang La Uprising will come to a conclusion that it doesn't matter if the nomads from the south can't win, so it's a big deal to lose money, so Xu Jin should not directly kill the ATM. Sung River Uprising is different from Fang La Uprising. They participated in the peasant uprising. The distant Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties all perished in the peasant uprising. If we don't pay attention to it, the rule of the Northern Song Dynasty is likely to be overthrown.

Therefore, for these anti-thieves, the style of the imperial court has always been to win over first, then kill, or suppress them if they don't accept them, or directly suppress them. The rulers of the feudal dynasty could not negotiate with the anti-thieves, because these anti-thieves shook the foundation of their rule of the country, so it was impossible for the Northern Song Dynasty court not to suppress Song Jiang and Fang La. Of course, it is also possible that these two insurgents were not destroyed when the nomads from the army invaded.

So, will these rebels unite with the Song Dynasty to fight against nomads? For the Song Dynasty, these two insurgents were the biggest threat. Most of the Northern Song Dynasty imperial court would choose to win them over and let them go to the front to resist the army of nomads from the army. To put it bluntly, it is cannon fodder. If they fail to win over, the Northern Song Dynasty court will probably not stop destroying the rebel army even if it is beaten out of the water by the nomads from the army.

We often sing the praises of peasant insurgents. After all, the spirit of opposing tyranny is worthy of respect, but it is naive for us to think of these participants in the peasant uprising as so noble and selfless. Of course, some people will hate their country because of their enemies, but for most insurgents, it's still good to sit back and wait, not to fall when it hurts.
