Appreciation of Song Jiang’s Persistence in Being Recruited

1. Water Margin: Song Gongming’s whole group was inspired by the recruitment.

In the past few days, I read "Water Margin", and the eighty-two chapters that impressed me most were the eighty-two chapters.

This time it is about the previous recruitment (recruiting means surrender), which was unsuccessful because Lin Chong and others did not agree. However, the faint emperor Song Huizong listened to the words of the treacherous minister Gao Qiu, and ordered Tong Guan and Gao Qiu to lead his troops to attack Liangshanbo four times, but they all failed! In particular, Gao Qiu was captured by Liangshan heroes, but he betrayed his trust. Not only did he not tell Song Huizong the truth, but he also said that Song Jiang and others were bad. This shows that Gao Qiu is a traitor!

Seeing that the court did not reply, Song Jiang adopted the strategy of military advisor Wu Yong. He ordered Dai Zong to send gold, silver and jewelry to Taiwei Su Yuanjing, and offered to recruit him, and Taiwei Su agreed. He also ordered the prodigal son Yan Qing to bring gold, silver and jewelry to the home of Li Shishi, Huizong's concubine of the Song Dynasty. He then met Huizong and explained the truth. On the second day, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty held a court to scold Gao Qiu and others. He also gave Su Taiwei items to recruit people and ordered him to handle the matter of recruiting people.

As you can see, Song Jiang was originally a minor official and wanted to surrender. It can be seen that he had illusions about the court and wanted to preserve his good reputation. But all the heroes had suffered so much and didn't want to be summoned, so why did they still listen to Song Jiang's orders? Because the heroes of Liangshan put benevolence and righteousness first, they sacrificed their lives for Song Jiang! But the end of 108 good men was tragic. They died and scattered! Only Hu Yanzhuo, the double whip, and Zhu Tong, the beautiful bearded male, appeared when Jin Wushu invaded the Central Plains, and eventually died on the battlefield!

Song Gongming started his career because of his benevolence and righteousness, and he also died because of his benevolence and righteousness! It makes people think deeply! 2. Let’s talk about your views on Song Jiang’s acceptance of the recruitment.

Accepting the recruitment is the right thing to do.

First of all, the people in Liangshan did not advocate the reform of the social system. In fact, the Song Dynasty was still at its peak in the feudal history of our country and had not yet reached exhaustion. It even had the foreshadowing of capitalism (the development of commerce). It can promote the division of labor, the enlightenment of culture can promote the progress of ideas, and science and technology have also developed relatively in this era). Under such circumstances, it is not a rational choice to change a group of rulers (later nomadic rule And it is not in this trajectory that leads to the stagnation or even destruction of civilization). And among the people in Liangshan, most of them are warriors and people in the market. How many people are really capable of governing the country? If they were replaced by Song Dynasty, would they be able to govern better than Song Dynasty? I don't think so.

Moreover, if there are bandits in the grassland, whether they are chivalrous bandits or gangsters, if they want to change dynasties, war will inevitably happen. At this time, the Song Dynasty was not so corrupt that it was necessary to change dynasties to save the people. , Therefore, war will only bring greater suffering. 3. How should we view Song Jiang’s acceptance of recruitment

"Water Margin" is to reflect the social background of the Song Dynasty when traitors were in power. The author satirized the darkness of society at that time through a fictional story. It was a feudal society at that time, and Song Jiang The reason for choosing to submit to the imperial court is actually very simple. In ancient times, a person with a legitimate name was important. Hundreds of thousands of people in Liangshan could not gain a foothold in society with the name of a bandit. Song Jiang was different from others. He was a scholar and was inspired by the thoughts of Confucius and Mencius. He had a greater influence. The idea of ??divine right of kings had already penetrated into his bones. If he could obtain an official position for his brothers and himself after the recruitment, serve the court and do something practical for the people of Liming, it was what he expected. However, the traitor was in power at that time. The emperor was stupid and incompetent, which was why they were eventually killed by treacherous ministers.

He and Yue Fei are actually the same, they are foolish and loyal and do not know how to adapt. 4. The pros and cons, crime and punishment of Song Jiang’s acceptance of recruitment

"Water Margin" gives us a dream country. In the paradise land of Liangshanbo, the green forest heroes drank from large bowls and ate large pieces of meat. They divided their gold among the big ones and their silver among the minor ones.

Liangshanbo became a utopia pursued by all living beings, but this utopia did not exist for long before it fell. While we sigh, we can't help but ask, who destroyed our utopia?

It is undeniable that the turning point in Liang Shanbo's fate was the recruitment that we still can't figure out.

After being recruited, the Liangshan heroes were forced to attack other rebels and were framed by traitors for no reason. In the end, they all died, leaving behind a tragedy that makes us shed tears.

The mastermind behind the recruitment was Song Jiang, the boss of Liangshanbo. Reading through the book, it is not difficult to find that Song Jiang strongly advocated the recruitment. On weekdays, he often regarded himself as Tadayoshi Kusano, with the idea of ??"power in water." "Exclusively waiting for recruitment," he encouraged himself, and mentioned recruitment many times. But unfortunately the time has not come yet and I cannot get what I want. When the recruitment came, he quickly and actively put his usual wishes into action. Under the good situation of winning twice against Tong Guan and losing three times against Gao Qiu, he did not hesitate to bend his knees and accept the humiliating recruitment. Moreover, after he was recruited, he did not change his wish even though his loyalty was not seen and used. Even when he died, he still shouted, "I would rather the court fail me than I will fail the court."

Song Jiang really fulfilled the wish of a loyal minister and good son. So we all despise Song Jiang, but we must also see that what made Song Jiang do this was the idea of ??"loyalty" in his mind. A deep-rooted "loyalty" made Song Jiang betray his brother's fate and accept the imperial court's recruitment. . And we know that this idea of ??loyalty belongs to the traditional essence of Confucianism. Therefore, we see that it was Confucianism that made Song Jiang accept the recruitment, and it was the Confucianism of loyalty that led Liang Shanbo to his tragic fate.

Song Jiang's ability to take the top spot in Liangshanbo with his self-proclaimed "several merits" is also due to the help of his traditional Confucian culture, because this is what other heroes lack; Song Jiang The nickname "Timely Rain" is the basic expression of benevolence in Confucian thought and culture. Confucianism made Song Jiang the leader of Liangshanbo, paving the way for its demise.

In the end, under the pressure of strong Confucianism, Song Jiang chose loyalty and became a loyal minister and good son advocated by Confucianism. Song Jiang led the Liangshan heroes on a path that was admired by Confucianists who were absolutely loyal and obedient to the court.

Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and righteousness. Loyalty in Song Jiang’s mind defeated righteousness, so all the heroes in Liangshanbo became state ministers, court officials, tools of the ruling class, and a group of mediocre people. The most loyal servant of the imperial court also became a victim of Confucianism. This is the path Song Jiang chose based on his loyal Confucianism. In a feudal society where Confucianism was absolutely dominant, Song Jiang's choice was inevitable and historic.

Song Jiang, a representative of Confucianism, single-handedly arranged the recruitment. He was only the executor under the control of Confucianism. The real mastermind was the Confucianism in his mind. So, we discovered that our deep hatred for Song Jiang was just an ignorant coward.

However, when Song Jiang strongly advocated recruiting peace, our other heroes firmly did not support it, but they did not carry out the most thorough resistance. If they were determined not to recruit peace, I believe Song Jiang would not be able to do it. Therefore, the loyalty that made Liangshanbo prosperous also helped a lot unconsciously.

The heroes of Liangshan were all forced to die in Liangshan by the government, and they all had an unscrupulous hatred towards the imperial court. The freedom that heroes pursue, but now when they are about to lose their freedom again, they are unwilling to hurt their brotherhood because of Song Jiang's questioning, scolding and kneeling down to cry, so that the action of resisting the recruitment will be in vain.

After going up the mountain, the Liangshan heroes have become accustomed to obeying Song Jiang, and have accepted the influence of Confucianism ideologically. In addition, they attach great importance to the so-called loyalty of Jianghu, and have formed in their minds the unwillingness to violate Song Jiang's wishes damaged the loyalty between brothers.

The heroes of Liangshan are loyal. This loyalty makes them come together. Their love transcends flesh and blood, life and death, and love. This loyalty unites them and creates the brilliant achievements of Liangshan. It becomes the leader of the imperial court at that time. The most troublesome rebel army. But because of their loyalty, they could be said to have voluntarily given up their right to fight against Song Jiang's conspiracy to recruit An, thereby unconsciously giving up the freedom and dreams they had been pursuing so hard, and then returned to the servitude of the imperial court. The days of being a slave also announced the arrival of a tragic fate.

So we know the reason why the fate of the heroes in Liangshanbo ended tragically: Confucianism took the lead and united with loyalty as an accomplice to rape Liangshanbo and destroy the utopia we dreamed of. 5. What do you think of Song Jiang's acceptance of the "recruitment"?

In the 32nd chapter of "Water Margin", it was Wu Songxian who first proposed the requisition, and Song Jiang agreed. The historical record of the requisition is: There is a story, but it is only about 100 words, and the novel has considerable development, and the plot is also very specific. 2. Song Dynasty folk tales and folk stories about Song and Jiang have already described the recruitment. In "The Legacy of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty" There are records of recruitment, and there are also contents of Song Jiang and others' recruitment in folklore. 3. What are your views on Song Jiang's acceptance of recruitment? This is related to Song Jiang's contradictory character. On the one hand, he is a righteous hero and the leader of the rebel army. On the other hand, he wants to serve the court and be loyal to the emperor and the people. But Song Jiang has always wanted to recruit people. Unlike Wu Song, although it was initially proposed by him, Song Jiang put forward the request. When recruiting troops for peace, Wu Song was the first to stand up and object. However, Song Jiang insisted on recruiting troops to serve the imperial court, and died. Regarding the 39th chapter of "Water Margin", Song Jiang wrote an anti-poem: His heart is in Shandong and he is in Wu, and the rivers and lakes are fluttering. He dared to laugh at Huang Chao for not being his husband. I think this was a random topic he made after being drunk, and it does not represent Song Jiang's true thoughts. 6. Why was Song Jiang recruited?

Among the three generations of leaders of Liang Shanbo, Song Jiang was the most accomplished one, and Shuibo Liangshan became bigger and stronger in his hands.

It can be said that without Song Jiang, there would be no power in Liangshan that shocked the government and the public. But Song Jiang is also a controversial figure, because he was later recruited, and Liangshan's one hundred and eight generals suffered from the southern and northern wars. In the end, when they returned from the southern expedition to Fangla, only twenty-seven people were left.

Readers are secretly sad after reading this, and they will invariably associate this tragedy with being recruited, thinking that if they were not recruited, such a tragedy would not happen. This may be the case! But if all the heroes in Liangshan are not recruited, can a hundred and eight generals really be able to live happily in Liangshan, drinking a lot of wine and eating large pieces of meat? In fact, things are not that simple, because those days of full of pride will not last long. Song Jiang had difficulties in being recruited, and he did it out of necessity, which can also be said to be inevitable. This is also the right choice that Song Jiang made after he had to change his thinking after Liangshan became bigger and stronger.

"Big bowls of wine, big chunks of meat, and gold and silver sharing" were the conditions that originally tempted many people to go to Liangshan. Black Whirlwind Li Kui was the most enthusiastic about this condition. It was also the first time Song Jiang and Li Kui met. He conquered Li Kui by satisfying his appetite. Therefore, in Liangshan later, there was a strange job like arranging banquets, and Song Jiang handed over this task to his own brother Song Qing. This shows that Song Jiang attached great importance to this job, and it was a bit awkward to let others do it. rest assured.

We can imagine the scene on Liangshan Mountain at that time. One hundred and eight generals were sitting in the Juyi Hall, eating and drinking heavily around dozens of tables of sumptuous bowls of wine and large pieces of meat. Only Wu Song and Lu Zhishen were For two people, one meal requires two jars of wine and four to five kilograms of cooked beef; outside the hall is a place where many little bosses enjoy their drinks, and it is also a sea of ??meat and wine; although the gangsters in each village are sitting on the floor, But it was also a big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine, which I drank happily. There is no exact number given for how many people there are in Liangshan. Taking the regular personnel who can go to the battlefield as the calculation unit, one hundred and eight generals each lead an average of 300 minions. In Liangshan's heyday, there were three There are more than 10,000 people, not including the support staff such as cooks and grooms who raise horses.

If these more than 30,000 people consume at this level, how many cows, how many sheep, and how many jars of wine will they drink in a day? Although the exact number is not written in the book, the number must be huge.

We should be clear that it was an era of agricultural economy at that time, and all the heroes ate green food. Farmers raised pigs, cattle and sheep on an annual basis, unlike today's livestock that are fed with growth hormones, fattening agents, and clenbuterol. It can be put on the market in two months. Moreover, cattle were still a production tool at that time. Excessive slaughter would cause damage to agricultural production. Therefore, in ancient Chinese society, which was dominated by farming economy, the slaughter of farm cattle was always prohibited. The heroes of Liangshan are a special group of people who cannot be managed by the ruling class. Such provisions cannot restrain them. In order for them to eat large pieces of meat, it must be commonplace for them to go down the mountain to plunder cattle.

But don’t forget, although Liang Shanbo was known as Eight Hundred Miles, the economic conditions at that time could not support the consumption of these 30,000 people! In "The Years of Burning Passion", the meal of braised pork that Shi Guangrong treated the villagers of Ganniu Village to eat gave the villagers the impression that they were richer than the richest landlord in the village! It can be seen that most landowners in ancient Chinese rural areas could not afford a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat for every meal! Therefore, the lifestyle of the heroes in Liangshan is an advance and will not last forever! Once a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat are no longer available, will Li Kui agree? Does Wu Song have any opinions? The leaders below can only focus on the present and not worry about food, rice, oil and salt, but as the head of the family, Song Jiang has to think in the long term. Recruitment becomes the best of both worlds, because recruitment can not only preserve the friendship between brothers, but also allow The brothers will continue to live a life of big bowls of wine and big meat. Song Jiang knew in his heart that if he stayed in Liang Shanbo, the days of big bowls of wine and big meat would come to an end sooner or later. Once there was no more wine and meat in his rice bowl, his best friend Li Kui would fall out with him, let alone others. There will inevitably be civil strife in Liangshan at that time.

But the recruitment is different. After the recruitment, all brothers will have a good job to do, and wine and meat will not be a problem. The key is to expand the consumption area, and turn the eight hundred miles of water to supply the heroes of Liangshan with large pieces of meat and large bowls of wine to the people of the country at that time. After all, the emperor's treasury is richer than Liangshan! Having said this, one has to admire Wang Lun's foresight. When he first came to Liangshan, he was so happy leading seven or eight hundred people. The target is not big, only seven or eight hundred people, and the court will not go out of its way to fight with him. If he can feed seven or eight hundred people in a lake of 800 miles, he will be rich with a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat.

When 800,000 Forbidden Army instructors joined the group, Wang Lun was a little embarrassed, because he knew that Lin Chong was someone who wanted to do big things. He would make Liangshan Bo particularly eye-catching. Once there were many people, he would not only become the imperial court The thorn in the side will also break the supply and demand relationship of land and population, which will inevitably increase the burden on the farmers around Liangshan. Therefore, Wang Lun would rather offend his benefactor Chai Jin than drive Lin Chong down the mountain. This has to be admired for Wang Lun's wisdom. Song Jiang was a bit of a loser in this regard. As soon as he entered the water, he wanted to make a big deal. He desperately recruited troops and even knelt down to beg people to join him. Later, there was a three-mountain merger. Just like today's large companies, they work hard to expand their scale. However, they did not consider the market demand, and later they were unable to make ends meet and had to rely on borrowing to survive. The final outcome was the outbreak of a financial crisis.

Later, when Song Jiang attacked Dongchang and Dongping Mansion, he was doing lending! Because the production capacity of Liangshanbo can no longer satisfy the needs of more than 30,000 people with large bowls of wine and large portions of meat. If Song Jiang expands its territory and confronts Song Huizong by establishing a new political power, it can also preserve the lifestyle of the brothers with big bowls of wine and big meat, but this is not easy, because Liangshanbo was established with "loyalty". "Loyalty" can be used to form a small group, but it is simply impossible to use loyalty to establish a political power. Huang Chao and Li Zicheng relied on loyalty when they first established the insurrectionary army, but they failed to get rid of "loyalty" in the end. is the main reason for their failure.

Liu Bang killed Han Xin, punished Peng Yue, and challenged Yingbu; Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a cup of wine; Zhu Yuanzhang killed heroes; they were all completing the transition from loyalty to the political system. 7. In Water Margin, Song Gongming and the whole gang were recruited and safe.

In the past few days, I read "Water Margin". What impressed me most was the 82nd chapter of Song Gongming and the whole gang was recruited and safe gt; .

This time it is about the previous recruitment (recruiting means surrender), which was unsuccessful because Lin Chong and others did not agree.

However, the faint emperor Song Huizong listened to the words of the treacherous minister Gao Qiu, and ordered Tong Guan and Gao Qiu to lead his troops to attack Liangshanbo four times, but they all failed! In particular, Gao Qiu was captured by Liangshan heroes, but he betrayed his trust. Not only did he not tell Song Huizong the truth, but he also said that Song Jiang and others were bad. This shows that Gao Qiu is a traitor! Seeing that the court did not reply, Song Jiang adopted the strategy of military advisor Wu Yong. He ordered Dai Zong to send gold, silver and jewelry to Taiwei Su Yuanjing, and offered to recruit him, and Taiwei Su agreed.

He also ordered the prodigal Yan Qing to bring gold, silver and jewelry to the home of Li Shishi, Huizong's concubine of the Song Dynasty, where he met Huizong and explained the truth. On the second day, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty held a court to scold Gao Qiu and others. He also gave Su Taiwei items to recruit people and ordered him to handle the matter of recruiting people.

As you can see, Song Jiang was originally a minor official and wanted to surrender. This shows that he had illusions about the court and wanted to preserve his good reputation. But all the heroes had suffered so much and didn't want to be summoned, so why did they still listen to Song Jiang's orders? Because the heroes of Liangshan put benevolence and righteousness first, they sacrificed their lives for Song Jiang! But the end of 108 good men was tragic. They died and scattered! Only Hu Yanzhuo, the double whip, and Zhu Tong, the beautiful bearded male, appeared when Jin Wushu invaded the Central Plains, and eventually died on the battlefield! Song Gongming started his career because of his benevolence and righteousness, and he also died because of his benevolence and righteousness! It makes people think deeply.
