Lin Chong never had the chance to choose the right person in his life

Excerpt: No matter in which era, a person like Lin Chong who is himself and is open-minded and does not play conspiracy, no matter what he chooses, the result may be wrong. Because, in every era, the opportunity to make the right choice is always reserved for people like Gao Qiu, not Lin Chong.

01

In the entire Water Margin, Lin Chong was the only one who was most framed by the court, had no other choice, and was finally forced to go to Liangshan. Lin Chong's fate was undoubtedly the worst among the one hundred and eight generals. The cause of the tragedy was that his wife was too beautiful and not a womanizer, so she was unable to commit herself to Gao Yanei. Gao Yamen fell in love and became bedridden. When Gao Qiu heard the whole story, he wanted to kill Lin Chong in order to achieve Gao Yanei's good deeds. Lin Chong was framed by a design, and the 800,000-strong instructor of the Forbidden Army, who had no ability, ended up in Cangzhou.

In Water Margin, there are not many women. There are only three female generals out of a hundred and eight generals. In addition, there are Pan Jinlian, Yan Poxi, Pan Qiaoyun, Li Shishi and others. These women are either flirtatious or vicious, and they are not good things. Only Lin Chong's wife was gentle, virtuous and abiding by women's ethics. When Gao Yanei teased her, he just asked sternly, "How can you tease your beloved in a peaceful world?" The result of observing women's ethics was to offend Gao Yanei and cause her husband to be punished. Before leaving, Lin Chong voluntarily wrote a letter of divorce so that she could choose another husband. Mrs. Lin cried bitterly on the spot and even went into shock. From Chapter 20 of the novel, it can be seen that Mrs. Lin couldn't bear Gao Qiu's forced marriage and hanged herself to death.

Lin Chong was in prison, but Gao Qiu was not at ease and sent people to assassinate him along the way. The two escorting men were bribed by Gao Qiu and prepared to kill Lin Chong in the wild boar forest, but were rescued by Lu Zhishen. Lin rushed to Cangzhou Prison, and the killer followed. Chabo, Lu Qian, Fu'an and others set up a plan to burn down the forage yard in order to kill Lin Chong. However, Lin Chong survived the disaster and escaped from death several times, killing Chabo, Lu Qian and Fu'an. He was originally a victim, and he was trying to save himself by killing the imperial official. But what awaits him is only the death penalty.

Lin Chong had no desire to resist in his heart. He deeply felt that he had not met the wise master, and had been humbled by villains. He had no ability and was insulted. He was really dissatisfied. But in order to protect himself, he could only endure it. He knew that once he offended Gao Qiu, he would definitely end up like Wang Jin. Wang Jin was also the instructor of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army. He was beaten severely by Gao Qiu on the spot just because he didn't show up for roll call. The real reason behind this is that Gao Qiu was taught a lesson by Wang Jin's father when he was a street gangster. Once Gao Qiu succeeded, how could he not avenge himself on that day? In the end, Wang Jin had to flee.

Lin Chong was dissatisfied, and in order to protect himself, he could only be cautious and forbearing at all times. When his wife was being teased, he grabbed the man and tried to beat her, but when he saw it was Gao Yanei, his hand softened. Because he knew that if he beat Gao Yanei, he would definitely offend Gao Qiu. Wang Jin is a lesson learned from the consequences of offending Gao Qiu. He tried not to offend Gao Qiu, but Gao Qiu had set up a trap to kill him in order to do good things for Gao Yanei. Gao Qiu wanted to harm him because he was too capable and could not tolerate it.

On the way to Cangzhou, if Lu Zhishen had not come to rescue him, Lin Chong would have died in the wild boar forest. He still had no intention of resisting and just wanted to finish his sentence and start over. But Gao Qiu has blocked his way back and must kill him. On that snowy night in the mountain temple, Lin Chong was forced to resist and killed his enemy with his own hands. What he killed were just a few insignificant tools. The real enemy, Gao Qiu, is still free and causing harm to the world. His resistance was actually an instinct to save himself. The result of self-rescue left him with nowhere to go, ruining the possibility of returning to a normal life. On Chai Jin's recommendation, he went to Liangshan.

When he was the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Army, Lin Chong deeply felt that he had not met the Ming Master and sighed that he had no abilities. It can be said that it was the failure to meet the Ming Lord that led to the tragedy of his life. When he was an official in the imperial court, his boss Gao Qiu couldn't tolerate him; when he was forced to go to Liangshan and became a bandit, Wang Lun, the first leader of the Liangshan Group, couldn't tolerate him either. Wang Lun originally wanted to send Lin Chong down the mountain, but he couldn't stand the begging of his brothers, so he reluctantly agreed. He asked Lin Chong to go down the mountain and kill someone as a sign of surrender, and he agreed to join the gang.

When he first took office, Song Jiang changed Juyi Hall into Zhongyi Hall, and four villages were set up under Zhongyi Hall. Song Jiang ranks first in Zhongyi Hall. Lin Chong is the commander-in-chief of Zuo Junzhai. When it comes to the formal arrangement of seats, there is a main hall on the top of Zhongyi Hall to worship Chao Gai; there are two east and west rooms below, with Song Jiang as the main room in the east and Lu Junyi as the main room in the west; the second slope is below, and there are six passes and six passes. Set up eight villages. These eight villages are the four army villages and the four water army villages. Lin Chong is the commander-in-chief of the Zhengxi Army Stronghold.

At this time, Song Jiang not only excluded Lin Chong, but also stayed away from all capable people, placing them outside the Six Passes. Song Jiang was surrounded by only Wu Yong, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng. Lu Junyi was surrounded by only Gongsun Sheng, Kong Ming, and Kong Liang. With this arrangement, Song Jiang was obviously afraid that military generals would seize power and kept them out of the core of power. The other three villages are all under the supervision of one of the Five Tiger Generals. Only Lin Chong Village has two Five Tiger Generals. Obviously, Song Jiang wanted to use Dong Ping to weaken Lin Chong's power.

From the overall perspective, Song Jiang’s arrangement is very reasonable. Liang Shanbo is surrounded by water, so there should be a water army stronghold on the outermost side, an army stronghold next, and then a pass, one layer after another, to protect the Zhongyi Hall. Each village and pass are commanded by different generals to prevent one person from relying on his own troops. In this way, Song Jiang can safely sit in his position as the boss. In terms of Lin Chong's personal abilities and situation, he was really suppressed. He was a veteran of the Liangshan Group. He was not the chairman, but at least qualified to be the vice chairman. However, he was replaced by Lu Junyi who came out halfway. It was simply unreasonable.

Everything that seems unreasonable is actually Song Jiang’s arrangement with ulterior motives. Lu Junyi is capable, simple-minded, loyal to Song Jiang, and not dangerous at all. Lin Chong is also capable, thoughtful, hard to guess, and has too many unstable factors. Moreover, he also launched a coup and killed the first leader of the Liangshan Group in public. No matter what the purpose of Lin Chong's initial coup was. This incident alone is enough to prove that this person is bold, dares to resist, and will do anything when pressed. How could Song Jiang not be on guard?

Lin Chong chose Song Jiang because he was following the trend. But this time, he still chose the wrong person. As soon as Song Jiang took office, he changed the Juyi Hall into the Zhongyi Hall, played the banner of justice for heaven, and fully expected the imperial court to recruit him. As a low-level official, Song Jiang had no access to high-level political figures and may not have a clear idea of ??what the imperial court was like. Lin Chong is the instructor of the 800,000 Forbidden Army. It can be said that he comes from the top. He knew very well how corrupt and ignorant the imperial court was, and how much misbehavior there was. He was framed by Gao Qiu and had no choice but to go to Liangshan. How could he hope to be recruited and return to the court as an official? Even if he goes back, Gao Qiu, who has been chasing him several times, will not let him go.

In this regard, Lin Chong would never advocate recruitment. All the heroes in Liangshan were disgusted with recruiting troops. Among them, the one who made the biggest fuss was Song Jiang's good gay friend Li Kui. The black guy couldn't get used to Song Jiang's words of warning from the left to the right. He picked up his ax and even chopped down the apricot-yellow flag that was used to protect the sky. He said that he wanted to kill Song Jiang. Lin Chong opposed the recruitment, but he never showed any emotion. Because he knew that he could not offend Song Jiang. He was thoughtful, cautious, and only wanted to make mistakes, but he never did it right once. He didn't do it right, not because he was confused, but because fate didn't give him a chance to do it right.

Lin Chong’s biggest enemy is naturally Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu caused his family to be ruined and he was desperate and forced to rebel. Among the one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan, who has such a deep hatred? Thunderbolts struck Qin and Ming Dynasties, and jade unicorns killed Lu Junyi. Their families were destroyed, and they fell into the mountains of Liangshan. But they were not framed by the court, but Song Jiang saw their value and designed to make money. Their biggest enemy is actually Song Jiang. Among the one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan, Lin Chong was the only one who suffered the most misfortune from the imperial court. He went to Liangshan to seek refuge, but also to seek revenge. In the end, it was Song Jiang who stopped him from taking revenge.

In the 80th chapter of the novel, the Liangshan Army defeated the government forces for the third time and captured Gao Qiu alive. Logically speaking, this is a good time for Lin Chong to take revenge. However, the highest interest of the Liangshan Group at this time is to accept the imperial court's recruitment. Song Jiang elevated his personal ambition and loyalty to the court to the highest interests of the Liangshan Group. In this supreme interest, personal hatred has no meaning. In order to recruit him, Song Jiang was afraid of offending Gao Qiu, so he immediately killed cattle and horses and held a big banquet to welcome Gao Qiu.

At this time, Lin Chong must be gnashing his teeth and bleeding into hatred. But he must endure and obey the so-called highest interests. Seeing Song Jiang's slaves kneeling before Gao Qiu, Lin Chong didn't say anything outrageous, he just stared angrily.

Finally, Song Jiang led all the people in Liangshan to submit to the imperial court. In order to weaken their power, the imperial court sent them out to suppress the bandits. Lin Chong was cornered by Gao Qiu and forced to go to Liangshan by the imperial court. As a result, he had to be used by the imperial court to exterminate those bandits who might have the same fate as him. This is not only the tragedy of Lin Chong, but also the tragedy of Liangshan's one hundred and eight generals. After several campaigns, Song Jiang led the Liangshan Army to clear the court and eliminate banditry for the imperial court. And Song Jiang's men and horses were also seriously injured. Of the one hundred and eight generals, only twenty-seven died in the end. Lin Chong did not die in the battle, but when he was returning to Beijing, he contracted a rheumatic disease and suffered from rheumatic paralysis, which dragged him to death for half a year. The ending cannot be said to be bleak.

The tragedy of Lin Chong's life can be said to be that he did not choose the right person. He didn't even choose the right partner. If Mrs. Lin wasn't pretty or was a licentious woman, she might not have offended Gao Yanei. Without offending Gao Yanei, Lin Chong might be able to serve as an errand in the imperial court, not seeking merit but seeking no faults, and be patient and tolerant for the rest of his life. Of course, there is no point in imagining this. Is it Mrs. Lin's fault that she doesn't follow Gao Yanei? Apparently not. No matter in which era, a person like Lin Chong who is himself, is open-minded and does not play conspiracy, no matter what he chooses, the result may be wrong. Because, in every era, the opportunity to make the right choice is always reserved for people like Gao Qiu, not Lin Chong.
