Are there really Liangshan heroes in history?

Yes, but not among the 108 generals, only 27 people in Tiangang Star have clear records in the "History of the Song Dynasty" with seemingly real names. According to the records in "Song History" of the Song Dynasty, the Songjiang Uprising lasted from the first year of Xuanhe to the third year of Xuanhe. The uprising mainly involved areas in the Taihang Mountains, Shandong and northern Jiangsu. It "traveled across Heshuo and transferred to ten counties." The leader of the uprising was Song Jiang. The uprising is of a rogue nature and does not necessarily have a fixed base. The uprising ended with a surrender after severe defeat. Although the scale of the uprising was not large, its combat effectiveness was particularly strong, and "tens of thousands of officers and soldiers did not dare to take advantage of it." The impact of the uprising was not small. The central area of ??the uprising, Liangshanbo, was only about 100 kilometers away from Bianliang, Tokyo, which seriously threatened the security of the capital. The areas involved in the uprising were relatively developed in the Northern Song Dynasty. Liangshanbo was the first lake in the middle of the Guangji River during the Xuanhe period, and the upper reaches of the Guangji River flowed out of Bianliang City, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. The Guangji River was also an important water transport channel in the east of Beijing, occupying Liangshanbo in the middle of the Guangji River. For the Northern Song Dynasty, The political, economic, and military power of the imperial court can be imagined.
