Chapter 1325 Beautified Song Jiang, Ugly Song Jiang, Real Song Jiang
Chao Gai, Li Jun, Mu Hong, Zhang Heng and others broke up with Song Jiang. They made it clear that they had different ambitions early that day. Even if they ran away from the village, Song Jiang could not find any fault. But Li Zhu was there. Song Jiang surrendered to the imperial court and turned against his colleagues in Lu Lin, rebelling against the enemy and launching a major campaign for Xiao Tang. He was also not afraid of deceit, and had already decided who the Ming master he planned to defect to was.
However, it was only now that the royal officials turned against Song Jiang and wanted to draw a clear line with Song Jiang. How could the discerning people present not see that this guy talks about the rules of the world, but in fact he is just a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death?
Of course Xiao Tang also knew that if Wang Daoren's life had not changed, he was just a man who, under the guise of being good at yin and yang and being able to understand Feng Shui, killed his family and killed Tai Gong Zhang's daughter when he checked Feng Shui for him in Centipede Ridge. The treacherous young man who was kidnapped and committed evil deeds in the Centipede Ridge Cemetery. Now he has not met the fate of being chopped off by Wu Song with a knife like in the original work. This man has lived for a few more years, so how can he learn this skill? Are you looking down upon someone who is not a top-notch player?
"You joined the army when you said you wanted to, but what do you think of the village led by my subordinates? You, a flying centipede, are not suitable for sharing the righteousness with my brothers!"
Xiao Tang glanced coldly, looked at Wang Daoren, who was holding both sides of the plan, and said lightly. When Wang Daoren said this, he knew that the final bet had gone wrong. His face suddenly twitched. After a few moments, he looked at Xiao Tangshi again, his face no longer fawning, and his eyes gradually showed a look of resentment.
However, Wang Daoren did not hesitate to break up with him in front of him, and made Song Jiang tremble with anger. Many of the defeated soldiers were interested, and when they looked at Song Jiang again, their eyes had a different meaning. Wu Yong saw that Zhuang immediately rode out on horseback and scolded Mr. Wang in a fierce voice: "Master Wang! Since you complained about brother Gongming being recruited by the court, why did you dare to jump out and beg Xiao Renxia now? Just to protect your safety. I want to save your life, but on the contrary, you insult your sworn brother who has always treated you well, and think that others can't see that you are only trying to save your own life, but you are a traitorous villain who does not hesitate to betray your loyalty?"
Wang Daoren was in a dilemma. He simply became cruel and pointed at Song Jiang and cursed: "Where did I go wrong? But back then, all the heroes in Liangshan Village were blind, and they only hoped for you." You want to treat a small official who is a slave of the powerful as your brother! Do you have a deep sense of loyalty? Bah! It's just a deliberate act of favoring Jiayi, trying to instigate people in the green forest to strengthen your power! When you get your wish and submit to the imperial court, won't you still have to take us? I have to sacrifice my brother's life to repay your fame and wealth? Why should I continue to entrust my life to you!"
Faced with the rift between the brothers who had deep love and loyalty in the past, the leader of his subordinates scolded him in front of him as an unjust man who used his brother's life to gain a future. Many of the soldiers around him could not help but show anger and complaint on their faces when they looked at him. Such a look...Song Jiang suddenly laughed, but he laughed so furiously that he was filled with sadness and desolation: "You say that I am a treacherous villain who would not hesitate to sacrifice my brother's life in exchange for my own official status and fame? Even if I, Song Jiang, have committed a serious crime and have fled to Liangshan, I have long said that if the imperial court recruits me, I will encourage all my brothers to submit. Although I am incompetent, I am loyal and will gather my righteous brothers. There are many heroes in China who can be used by the country. In the future, if you go to the border and win a wife and a son with a sword and a spear, and leave a good name in the history for a long time, your life will not be in vain! I am waiting in Liangshan. Now that he is a convicted gangster, I would like to ask all the heroes present, which one of them hopes that their family members, children and grandchildren can only hide in the mountains and forests as thieves and never be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives?
Or do you want me, Song Jiang, to lead you to cede territory and cause chaos, claim kingship and hegemony, and cause countless civilians to suffer military disasters and robberies before you can fulfill your wish? Yes, I have used some methods and made some money, each with its own merits.
Brothers went up to the mountain to join the gang, but if they didn’t think about planning to strengthen the strength of the village, how could the imperial court take us into consideration? Now that the emperor has forgiven Xu’s guilt, I, Song Jiang, thought that we could still work together with all the brothers to conquer the north and the south.
Conquer and establish meritorious deeds. Not only can your name be famous and known all over the world, but you can also live an upright life with a clean identity!
You say that I, Song Jiang, want to teach my brothers to die in vain just for fame and wealth? But I want to teach you to see clearly that whether I am a gangster or loyal to the country, I, Song Jiang, will still live and die with my brothers. Since
I am fighting for my country, and I can only die in the name of my loyalty, and I will never be like a capricious villain like you!"
Even though the relationship could only be hostile now, Xiao Tang believed Song Jiang's heart-wrenching words with great sorrow and indignation.
When they first met in Yuncheng County many years ago, Xiao Tang originally thought that Song Jiang, the protagonist in the original work, was a character that was difficult for him to see clearly. But over the years, Xiao Tang finally realized that Song Jiang was not that person.
How elusive he is, but because of the complexity of human nature, many labels have been added to him in later generations.
Timely Rain Song Jiang was originally one of the eight generals in Liangshan. His deeds in the two editions of Water Margin that Xiao Tang had read several times were indeed whitewashed, but among those who knew the story of Water Margin, there were still many people who were interested in him.
Very disgusted, because Song Jiang personally facilitated the imperial court's recruitment, and the journey was full of bloody pleasure, but the barbaric and even cruel and rebellious spirit of Shuibo Liangshan surrendered to the imperial court, suffered most of the losses, and was ultimately the culprit of a tragic failure;
Those who are disgusted with Water Margin think that Song Jiang said he was doing justice for heaven, but in fact he was a bandit leader who led a group of murderers and arsonists.
So no matter what kind of person they are, it is commonplace and logical for them to hate and denounce Song Jiang, and even throw dirty water on him unscrupulously.
Song Jiang does have a dark side. He did things secretly in order to get Lu Junyi, Qin Ming, Li Ying, Zhu Dian and others to join his gang. Therefore, many people think that he is extremely hypocritical and good at disguising himself. In fact, he will bring all the brothers who are sworn with him
They were all regarded as exploitable targets, so Chao Gai could be secretly shot and killed, and Song Jiang framed his brothers in order to achieve his goal, which was also successful; Song Jiang only focused on submitting to the court, so he must be good at taking advantage of the situation.
A snob who speculates, takes advantage of others, and never hesitates to climb up; after Song Jiang was recruited, he compromised and gave generous gifts to powerful officials to build relationships. This was also regarded by many as a two-faced person who flattered the powerful and was a slave.
Evidence, but Xiao Tangxin said that by just counting, he could think of at least ten famous ministers and generals who had bribed officials to seek fortune, but had repeatedly made outstanding contributions to the country and left their names in history. However, others did so because they knew how to adapt.
It is urgent to obey authority, but Song Jiang did so and deserved to be blackmailed.
Xiao Tang also remembered that he had seen too many characterizations of people who blindly followed the trend, or many sensational comments on historical public accounts criticizing Song Jiangkou. However, those so-called comments almost ignored that Song Jiang did indeed improve after the recruitment.
He was once in danger, and indeed had the opportunity to rebel against the imperial court, and even had the opportunity to defect to a foreign country and be reused. However, his reaction was that he would rather die in battle with all the brothers around him, and was determined not to surrender. In addition,
In the battles led by Song Jiang, more than 90% of them were indeed done without committing any crimes. Most people who are used to throwing dirty water on Song Jiang will selectively ignore these things. However, after Song Jiang was recruited, he did indeed
He also managed to be loyal and worthy of the imperial court.
Song Jiang is thick and dark, but if he is really as dark as many Water Margin fans and so-called "experts" describe, he is always calculating and just for personal gain. Then in the original book, since the Liangshan he commanded has the strength to destroy the three major bandits, But why did he have to submit to the imperial court instead of carving out a kingdom like Tian Hu and Wang Qing? At that time, Song Jiang had only three options: either defend Liangshan, and then the brothers and even his descendants in the village would be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, or he could just For generations, we can only hang out with grass bandits; or we can follow the example of Tian Hu, Wang Qing and his like to invade the state and seize counties to establish a country on their own, and plunge all the people into misery; then the last remaining way is to submit to the imperial court and teach Liangshan soldiers and horses to fight against bandits on the border. Indeed, For being able to protect his family and country, many people in later generations would also accuse Song Jiang of being foolish, loyal and ignorant, but this is obviously unfair to him.
Because Song Jiang is not a time traveler.
Even when Xiao Tang first came to this world, he immediately thought of the limitations of rebellion in the context of the Song Dynasty. However, Xiao Tang knew the original trajectory of official history, so he decided to take a deviant approach, but Song Jiang absolutely could not It is expected that soon after the story of Water Margin ends, the Jin Kingdom in the north will send its troops southward and annex half of the Central Plains Dynasty.
If Song Jiang really lived to the time when the Jin army invaded the south, Xiao Tang believed that he would not hesitate to lead a group of troops to rush to the national disaster to resist foreign humiliation, and resist the enemy invaders at the risk of life and death, because even if he was in the rivers and lakes After experiencing many deeds, his character began to change. The loyalty he believed in and always insisted on has indeed never been violated...
However, although Xiao Tang can probably understand Song Jiang's difficulties now, it does not mean that he intends to let Song Jiang go.
Later generations often tend to go too far when commenting on people and things. Although Song Jiang is not a good man or woman, he is indeed too easy to be demonized by others. Xiao Tang will not be as simple-minded as following the trend of Hei, but he also knows very well that he and Song Jiang The relationship between them is now irreconcilable and antagonistic.
Precisely because Song Jiang has his own persistence, after all, he is also the character in the original work who can command all the Liangshan generals to surrender. If this person is recruited or imprisoned, he may cause another trouble before the Jin army invades south. Both of them are capable of instigating heroes in the world. The saying that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain is particularly suitable to describe the relationship between Xiao Tang and Song Jiang. Xiao Tang can understand Song Jiang's thoughts, but he cannot take the risk of leaving him as a hidden danger around him. , and it was indeed the other party who surrendered to the imperial court and led his army to attack Comrade Lu Lin. In front of all the brothers, there was no reason to let him go.
Perhaps Chao Tianwang, Gongsun Sheng and others took the initiative to propose stationing in Liangshan because they knew that if I went out to fight and had a life-and-death battle with Song Jiang, I would have to end it, so they didn't want their old acquaintances to die in front of them. Xiao Tang secretly thought in his heart, and secretly said that you and I are both praised as Hu Baoyi figures in the world, but after today, Zhemo will only have one Hu Baoyi left in the world...
Although he sighed in his heart, Xiao Tang slowly stretched out his hand, and after a vigorous wave forward, the leaders of the horse and infantry troops who had almost surrounded the enemy's remnant soldiers were killed together, and Song Jiang's life was taken!
