As the saying goes, if you don't see a rabbit, you won't scatter an eagle, and there is no dog food. Why give your life to please?
There is a sentence in the novel, I wonder if you have paid attention to it. In Chapter 81 of Water Margin, "Water Margin divides the gold market, and Song Gongming embraces the whole group", when Song Jiang said that he would accept the embrace, there were three or five thousand people who resigned and left at that time.
Bian Xiao has been looking for the total number of military forces of Sung River in the water margin, but the result is not clear. In 84, "Song Gongming hits Jizhou City and Lu Junyi hits yutian county", it was said that there were 30,000 people in Lu Junyi, and Bian Xiao guessed that the total strength of Sung River was 70,000 to 80,000, but when wooing, he suddenly left so much. Why?
We admit that there must be a lot of people in Liangshan Shui Bo who go up the mountain for a bowl of meat, so it may be more serious to take the opportunity to run away when courting. But in Bian Xiao's view, it is precisely these people who may be smart and see through the world. The court has been extremely corrupt. Can you find a way to save the country and the people even if you confess?
In fact, if we read the novel carefully again, in the seventy-fifth time when we first accepted the woo, "the living Yan fell to steal the royal wine, and the black whirlwind pulled the letter to scold an imperial envoy". When Song Jiang sent Chen Taiwei down the mountain, the original book said that "more than half of the leaders, large and small, would make trouble", that is to say, the first woo had already produced great differences in the hearts of Liangshan heroes.
Luo Zhenren said: There are very few loyal people, and there are very few loyal people. Say rudely, Shui Bo and his gang in Liangshan said they got together to do good deeds for the sake of brotherhood. Actually, it's different. The court entrusts them with an important task to get promoted. Otherwise, if there were no wooing policy advocated by Song Jiang, so many people would not have gathered. This is also the fundamental reason why "most people" only forgive for their first trouble.
After Song Huizong personally made the imperial edict, Song Jiang and his gang got the promised "painting cakes", established a good career, and then became Wang Cijue. It is precisely because of this "future" temptation that many leaders are willing to risk their lives for fame and fortune.
How cruel was the result? Song Jiang and his gang tried their best to settle the Liao country. Song Jiang also solemnly recorded "Zhang Qing's first achievement and Qin Ming's second achievement". Regrettably, the report submitted to the court did not receive a response. The so-called promotion to wealth is just empty talk. However, there is no turning back arrow before opening the bow. People in Song Jiang thought that their work was not strong enough, so they volunteered to conquer tian hu, hoping to attract the attention of the imperial court and really give it substantial reuse.
Isn't it sad that Sung River has been quenching his thirst in Xun Mei, falling into his own sketched future, struggling for a promise that he doesn't know when he can fulfill, and finally disappearing?
In real life, are we? I always thought that as long as I worked hard, I would get something. I always thought that if I didn't get promoted this time, I would be my turn if I kept working hard. But even though we tried again and again, there was no result in the end. It's not that we don't work hard enough, nor that we don't contribute much, because our origins have already decided that we will always be ants.
Song Jiang and other Liangshan heroes, themselves ants, want to fly to Jackie Chan early in the morning. How ridiculous? Are you stupid or stupid?
