Notes on outlaws of the marsh

When Song Zhezong was in Tokyo, there was a boy named Gao Qiu, who played chess well and was taken by Duanwang, the younger brother of Zhezong, and became Duanwang's confidant. Later, Duan Wang became emperor, and this is Hui Zong. In less than half a year, Gao Qiu was promoted to commander in chief of the temple army. On his first day in office, Gao Qiu severely punished Wang Jin on the grounds that Wang Jin had not arrived due to illness, forcing Wang Jin to flee Tokyo with his mother. The reason is that Gao Qiu was once taught a lesson by Wang Jin and his son, and Gao Qiu wanted to take the opportunity to attack Wang Jin to settle old scores. Wang Jin came to Shijia Village in Huayin and was accepted as a disciple and worshipped as a master. Later, due to Gao Qiu's hot pursuit, Wang Jin had to bid farewell to Shi Jin and defected to Yan 'an Mansion. After Wang went in, Shi Jin made friends with the leader of Shaohua Mountain. After knowing this, Huayin county magistrate framed Shi Jin for having an affair with bandits, and Shi Jin burned Shijiazhuang for this. Shi Jin had to leave Huayin to find Wang Jin. When passing through Weizhou, I met Lu Da, the satrap of Weizhou, and Jong Li, Shi Jin's master. The three of them came to the restaurant to drink. I was drinking when suddenly there was crying from next door. Ruda, who was reckless and generous, asked the bartender to bring the crying man. The Kim family's father and daughter were taken away, and the daughter cried and said: Because there is no place to visit relatives in Weizhou, Zheng Tu of Zhuangyuanqiao butcher shop took advantage of the danger of others and wanted to marry my daughter to be a concubine. Now she has been driven out, and Zheng Tu asked my father and daughter to give him money. After hearing this, Lu Da was furious and determined to punish Zheng Tu. The next morning, Lu Da saw off the Kim family's father and daughter and went to the butcher shop in Zhuangyuanqiao. First, he let Zheng Tu cut the meat himself. After teasing the villain, he ended his life with three punches. Immediately left Weizhou. Half a month later, Mr. Zhao came forward and sent Luda to Wutai Mountain to become a monk, with profound dharma name and wisdom. After leaving Wutai Mountain, Lu managed a vegetable garden at Suoguo Temple in Tokyo. One day, Lu practiced martial arts in the vegetable garden, pulled up poplars in public, and then threw them at the crowd with equipment. Lin Chong accompanied his wife to the Yue Temple to make pilgrimages, and they hit it off at once. Just as I was happy, the maid came to report that someone was molesting my wife. Lin Chong rushed to Yue Temple and saw that it was Gao Taiwei's adopted son, so he had to let him go, say goodbye and go home. Gao Yanei, the leopard head, saw that Lin Chong's wife was very beautiful and wanted to marry Lin Chong's wife. Fu 'an, the pawn, offered a plan to Gao Qiu to trick Lin Chong into taking Baodao into the White Tiger Hall. Lin Chong was arrested and sent to Cangzhou for assassination. Gao Qiu also sent a bribe to kill Lin Chong in the boar forest. Thanks to the secret protection, Lin Chongcai survived. In Cangzhou, Gao Qiu sent his minions to set fire to the forage field to kill Lin Chong. Unbearable, Lin Chong killed his minions and went to the water margin that night. Wang Lun, the leader of the shanzhai, was jealous of Lin Chong and asked him to rob the mountain. Lin hurried down the mountain and waited for three days before he saw a man pass by. This man is Yang Zhi, the blue-faced beast. Lin Chong fought with him for a long time, but he didn't win or lose. Wang Lun persuaded them to invite Yang Zhi up the mountain. Lin Chong joined the team in the fourth place, while Yang Zhi refused to join the team and went south to Tokyo. Yang Zhi had nowhere to ask for help in Tokyo, so he had to sell his ancestral treasure knife to earn some money. Niu Er, a villain, made trouble without reason, trying to get a treasure knife and was killed by Yang Zhi. Yang Zhichong joined the army and left Daming Fu Company. Liang Zhongshu, the son-in-law who stayed in Cai Jing, took a fancy to Yang Zhi's martial arts and asked Yang Zhi to escort a birthday class worth 65,438+10,000 yuan to Tokyo to celebrate Cai Jing's birthday. When Liu Tang, a red-haired ghost, learned of this incident, he advised Classical to rob this batch of ill-gotten wealth, and Classical asked Duo Xing Wu to find a way. Wu Yong invited seven people, including Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan and Gongsun Sheng, and decided to grab these birthday classes in Huangnigang. Yang Zhi and his party came to Huangnigang. Chao Gai and others pretended to be jujube merchants. When Yang Zhi's men were buying wine and drinking, they threw the medicine in, drugged them and robbed the birthday class. When Yang Zhi woke up, he found that his birthday class had been robbed. Knowing that disaster was imminent, he went to Longshan in Qingzhou as a robber. Liang Zhongshu informed Cai Jing that the birthday program had been robbed, and Cai Jing ordered Jeju to catch thieves. Jeju prefect sent He Tao to take charge of the case, and found out that it was done by Chao Gai and others. He Tao took people to Yuncheng County to arrest Classical. Song Jiang, an escort in the county, is a good friend of Chao Gai. When he heard the news, he immediately informed Classical. Classical burned down his manor. Defeated by He Tao, he led his troops to the water margin. Wang Lun made things difficult for him and refused to take him in. Lin Chong was furious, killed Wang Lun and elected Classical as the leader of water margin. After defeating the loyalist and stabilizing the water margin, Classical sent Liu Tang to thank Song Jiang with letters, gold and silver. Song Jiang returned the gold and silver and hid the letters. Halfway, I stopped her, dragged Song home, and promised her daughter to Song Jiang to thank him for his support over the years. Song Jiang doesn't care about women, and barely stays at her house for one night. But when the letter was discovered by Yan Poxi, she asserted that Sung River had secret contact with the water margin and would report to the official. Sung river begged for nothing. In a rage, he killed Yan Poxi and fled back to Songjiacun. The magistrate of a county sent Zhu Tong and Lei Heng to catch Song Jiang, but he deliberately let Song Jiang go and let him hide in Chai Jin Zhuang. Song Jiang became brothers with Song Wu who fled here. Song Wu recovered and bid farewell to Song Jiang to find his brother Wu Dalang. Song Wu killed the tiger when he passed Jingyanggang, and was appointed as the captain of the infantry by Yanggu magistrate. One day, Song Wu met his brother in yanggu county. Wu Dalang was very happy and led Song Wu home. Sister-in-law Pan Jinlian saw that Song Wu was burly and had evil thoughts, and was scolded by Song Wu. Soon, Song Wu went to Tokyo to escort property for the magistrate. After Song Wu left, Pan Jinlian hooked up with Ximen Qing, a local bully who opened a pharmacy, and poisoned Wu Dalang with drugs. Song Wu returned to the county and learned about it. He told the magistrate that he was not allowed to complain. In a rage, he went to a restaurant and killed Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian. He was found guilty and sent to Mengzhou. Meng Zhou Xiao Guan Ying was very kind to Song Wu, and begged Song Wu to help recapture the Happy Forest store seized by Jiang Menshen. Song Wu got drunk, beat Jiang Menshen and got Happy Forest back. This Jiang Menshen bribed Zhang Dujian through Zhang Yongying, framed Song Wu for stealing treasures, and sentenced Song Wu to banishment. Song Wu was taken to the road, broke the shackles in Feiyun, killed four workers who wanted to harm him, returned to Mengzhou City, and killed Jiang Menshen, Zhang Tuan, Xiao Li Guang, Hua Ronglian and Zhang Dujian who were giving a banquet to celebrate the removal of Song Wu, and escaped from Mengzhou. At Hengpo, Sun Erniang disguised him as a walker and sent him to Erlong Mountain to join Lu. Song Wu saw Song Jiang again in Sunjiazhuang, Baihu Mountain. Song Jiang went to Huarong Road, and the two walked hand in hand, breaking up in Ruilong Town, and Song Jiang went to Qingfeng Village. There are two branches in Qingfeng village. Gao Liu, the master of Zhizhi Zhai, is a civilian, and he is jealous of Huarong, the master of Zhizhi Zhai. Song Jiang was caught by Gao Liu as soon as he arrived, saying that Song Jiang had an affair with bandits in Qingfeng Mountain, and Huarong was thus implicated. The leaders of Qingfeng Mountain, Yan Shun and Wang Ying, heard the news and went down to save Sung River and Huarong Road. Huarong Road shot Gao Liu, and everyone decided to go to Classical. As soon as Shi Yong arrived at the water margin, he sent a letter from Song Jiang's father, asking him to go home. Song Jiang retreated quickly, was caught by the government and stabbed Jiangzhou to death. In Jiangzhou, Sung River was taken care of by Dai Zhong and Li Kui. However, due to drunkenness, he wrote an anti-poem on the wall of Xunyang Building and was sentenced to death by Cai Jiu, the son of Jiangzhou magistrate Cai Jing. Just as he was preparing for the execution, the hero of the Water Margin, under the planning of Wu Yong, made a scene at the Jiangzhou giving ceremony to rob Song Jiang and Dai Zhong. After that, 29 heroes gathered in Bailong Temple in Jiangzhou and returned to Liangshan Park in a mighty way. Song Jiang took the second place in the thatched cottage. Soon after going up the mountain, Song Jiang took his father and Li Kui jy went home to take his mother up the mountain. On the way, he met a Li Kui jy who robbed him. Only after he was arrested did he know that this man was called Gui Li, saying that he had a 90-year-old mother who was left unattended. Li Kui jy gave him 10 silver to persuade him to turn over a new leaf. Later, Li Kui jy found out that he had been cheated and killed Gui Li, while Gui Li's wife ran away. When I got home, my mother was blind. Li Kui jy coaxed her to say, I am an official and enjoy happiness with my mother. Carry your mother on the road. One day, Li Kui jy went to Yiling to fetch water for his mother. When he came back, he found that his mother had been eaten by a tiger. Li Kui jy was so angry that he killed four tigers and was welcomed into Cao Taigong Village by Orion. At this time, Gui Li's wife who fled here recognized Li Kui jy, and Cao Taigong and others were preparing to plot against Li Kui jy. Thanks to the help of Zhu Gui and others sent by the water margin, Li Kui jy was able to escape and return to the stronghold. Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu and Shi Qian who came to the water margin were bullied by Zhujiazhuang Hotel. The two sides fought and Shi Qian was arrested. In order to save the capital, Classical and Sung River sent troops to attack Zhujiazhuang three times, which swept away Zhujiazhuang. Li Jiazhuang and Hu Jiazhuang, allied with nearby Zhujiazhuang, surrendered to the water margin. The water margin is famous, and heroes from all over the world have defected. Sung River surrendered to Mars. Soon, Li Kui jy came to Chai Jin Village and met Chai Jin. Chai Jin received a letter from his uncle, saying that Yin Tianxi, the brother-in-law of Gao Qiu's uncle Gao Lian, wanted to seize Chai's garden. So Chai Jin and Li Kui jy rushed to Gaotang and saw that the garden had been taken away. Li Kui jy made a scene in Gaotang and killed Yin Tianxi. Magistrate Gao Lian ordered the army to capture, Chai Jin was captured, and uncle Chai Jin was robbed. Li Kui jy fled back to the stronghold, and Classical ordered Song Jiang to lead 22 leaders to attack Gaotangzhou, killing Gao Lian and saving Chai Jin. The imperial court sent Qiu to arrest him, and Gao Qiu ordered Hu to attack the water margin. Huyanzhuo was defeated by Song Jiang's army and fled to Qingzhou, where he defected to the Murong magistrate rebels who attacked Taohua Mountain, Erlong Mountain and Baihu Mountain. Shen assembled troops from three mountains and came to Liangshan Park for help. Sung River led a great army to attack Qingzhou with Sanshan Rebel Army, Hu surrendered, Mr. Murong magistrate was killed, and went to Liangshan Park with Sanshan leader. Since then, Shao Huashan Shi Jin was caught by the government, and Song Jiangling led the troops to make a scene in Huashan and killed the satrap. A few days later, the five tigers of Zengjia in Zengtou City, Lingzhou stopped the hero who fled to the water margin and slandered the water margin. Classical was furious and ordered 5000 troops to attack Zengtou City. In the battle, Classical was shot by Shi Wengong's poisonous arrow and returned to his stronghold to die. Song Jiang was promoted to be the owner of the thatched cottage and changed Juyitang to Loyalty Hall. In order to avenge Classical, Sung River thought of Lu Junyi, a famous jade unicorn in Beijing. Knowing that he is superb in martial arts, he is a big talker in nightclubs, and he wants to invite him up the mountain to join in, which is completely revenge. So Song Jiangpa strategist Wu Yong went to Kyoto and pretended to be a fortune teller to tell Lu Junyi's fortune, saying that Lu Junyi would be beheaded in one hundred days, and Lu Junyi would be tricked into the water margin and captured by Zhang Shun. Sung River advised Lu Junyi to join the partnership, but Lu Junyi refused. Two months later, Song Jiangpa Lu Junyi went down the mountain. After Lu Junyi left home, the housekeeper hooked up with Lou's wife. When Lu Junyi came home, they set an ambush and sent Lu Junyi to Liang Zhongshu. Lu Junyi was stabbed to Salmonella Island. Yan Qing, Lu Junyi's domestic servant, killed two guards on the way to Shamen Island and went to the water margin with Lu Junyi. On the way, Lu Junyi was arrested again. Yan Qing went to the water margin alone for help and met Shi Xiu and Yang Lin who were going to the water margin. Three people decided to let Shi Xiu go to Beijing for information first, and Yan Qing and Yang Lin went to water margin to inform them. From Shi Xiu to Beijing. Shi Xiu arrived in Beijing and learned that Lu Junyi would be beheaded the next day. On the day of execution, Shi Xiu, the hero of the Water Margin, robbed the almsgiving ceremony and rescued Lu Junyi. However, because he was alone and outnumbered, the two were captured. In order to save Lu Junyi and Shi Xiu, Song Jiang sent his troops to attack Beijing. Pleading with Cai Jing, a surname, Cai Jing adopted Guan Sheng's plan of besieging the state of Wei to save Zhao, and led 1500 troops to attack the water margin directly. When Song Jiang heard the news, he went back to the mountain to capture Guan Sheng and defeated the loyalist. Then Sung River appointed Guan Sheng as the pioneer to attack Beijing again, and fought for several months until the Lantern Festival broke through Beijing the following year. Suo Chao was captured, Liang Zhongshu escaped from the south gate, and Lu Junyi and Shi Xiu were rescued. Soon, Cai Jing sent Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo to attack the water margin, and they were all defeated. Sung River and Lu Yi led the troops to attack Zengtou City, killed the five tigers of Zengjia, and returned to the mountain to pay homage to the classical spirit. Then they attacked Dongping and Dongchang, and the army returned home in triumph. At this time, the scale of the leader of the Water Margin is just 108, which is the number of demons released by Hong Taiwei in that year. Everyone gathered in the loyalty hall, and Song Jiang took the first place and set up the apricot yellow flag of "doing good for the sky". After the shanzhai prospered, Song Jiang had the intention of "hoping that the heavenly king would send a letter early to woo", which was resolutely opposed by Lin Chong, jy, Liu Tang and Lu. At the end of the year, Song Jiang will go to Tokyo to see the Lantern Festival next year, and Chai Jin and Li Kui jy will accompany Song Jiang to Tokyo. By chance, Sung River entered Li Shishi's mansion, and the emperor Hui Zong was there. Just when Sung River wanted to woo Hui Zong's letters, Li Kui jy beat people and set fire to them outside, and the whole city was in chaos. Sung river three people fled, Li Kui jy stayed alone in Jingmen Town, and heard the shopkeeper Liu Taigong say that Sung river robbed her daughter to go up the mountain. Li Kui jy was furious and ran back to the water margin, cut down the apricot yellow flag and drove Sung river out. Later, after testimony, it was a bad thing done by a thief named Niutoushan. Li Kui jy offered a humble apology, went to Niutoushan to kill the thief and saved Liu Taigong's daughter. The growth of the Water Margin shocked the officials and the people. Chen Shanbao, Qiu of Hui Sect, went to woo, and Qiu Gao Qiu and a surname Cai Jing followed Chen Shan to Liangshan. Because of his arrogance, Li Kui jy took the imperial edict and tore it into pieces, which failed to woo. The imperial court sent Tong Guan to attack the water margin. The shanzhai ambushed on all sides and defeated Tong Guan's two attacks. Tong Guan fled back to Tokyo, and Gao Qiu sent ten armies to attack the water margin. Song Jiang defeated Gao Qiu three times, but he went up the mountain alive, treated him with courtesy, and asked Gao Qiu to convey his wish to harness the court. After Gao Qiu left, Song Jiangpa Yan Qing went to Tokyo, and Yan Qing got the imperial edict from Hui Zong through Li Shishi. A few days later, Qiu Suyuanjing went up the mountain to read the imperial edict. Song Jiangling accepted the invitation of all the heroes in the mountain and went to Tokyo to be inspected by Huizong under the banner of "Shuntian" and "Protecting the country". After Liangshanpo Rebels accepted Zhao 'an, they were invaded by Liao soldiers, and Song Jiang was ordered to break Liao. So the army went north, captured Tanzhou, retaken Jizhou, outsmarted Bazhou, occupied Youzhou, surrounded Yanjing, and the Liao Lord pleaded guilty and surrendered. Song Jiang sent his troops back to China and returned the occupied counties to Liao according to Hui Zong's will. Back to the capital, Hui Zong sent a letter to Song Jiang to pacify tian hu, Hebei Province, and then moved to pacify Wang Qing in Huaixi and Fang La in Jiangnan. In the process of pacifying Fang La Army, the rebels suffered heavy losses. Although Fang La was finally captured and accomplished, 72 warriors were killed. On the way back to the army, Lu sat in Liuhe Temple in Hangzhou (the monk sat cross-legged and died peacefully), and those with disabilities did not want to return to Beijing, so he became a monk here. After leaving Hangzhou, Lin Chong was paralyzed, Yang Xiong, Shiqian, Yangzhi and Mu Hong died, and Yanqing quietly left. In Suzhou, Li Jun, Tong Wei and Meng Tong left again. The army returned to Beijing and entered Chen Qiaoyi, leaving only 20 leaders. Treacherous court official Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian and Song Jiang were appointed, so they designed to harm Lu Junyi with mercury, and poisoned Song Jiang and Li Kui jy with poison mixed with royal wine medicine. Huarong Road and Wu Yong hanged Sung River's grave, and then Gao Qiu wrote to Sung River and others to be reburied. Buried in Liao Erwa. Thus, a vigorous peasant uprising ended in tragedy.

The artistic achievement of Water Margin is most prominently reflected in the creation of heroes. The great historical theme of the book is mainly manifested in the praise of the uprising heroes and the description of their struggle. Therefore, the success of heroic image-building is an important factor for the works to have brilliant artistic life. In Water Margin, there are at least twenty typical images with distinct personalities, which are lifelike and lifelike. In the aspect of characterization, the greatest feature is that the author is good at putting the characters in the real historical environment and portraying them by closely following their identities, experiences and encounters. It is true that there is little introduction to the specific social environment in the book, but through the description of people from all walks of life and their relationships, a picture of social life in the Northern Song Dynasty is presented to us very vividly and clearly. The arrogance and extravagance of the ruling class and the desire of the oppressed people to "smash the sky into water and turn the land into Liangshan" are the warp and weft of this historical picture. The characters in the book were born and grew up in this environment. Although Lin Chong, Lu Da and Yang Zhi are all officers with high martial arts, their paths to Liangshan are quite different because of their different identities, experiences and opportunities. This is how the author expresses their different personality characteristics. The position of the imperial coach, generous treatment and happy family made Lin Chong naturally form a character of being content with reality and not daring to resist, and repeatedly endured the persecution of the ruling class; At the same time, this experience made him make friends with heroes from all directions, and formed a generous, frank and unwilling character. Therefore, Lin Chong's forbearance is different from resignation. In his "forbearance" character, there are "unbearable" factors and revenge anger. Finally, he was forced to rebel. This complete outburst of anger is the inevitable result of his character development. Compared with Lin Chong, Lu Da did not encounter such misfortune, but in his long-term contacts with the ruling class, he saw through their decadent nature and carefree life experience, and formed his character of loving freedom and opposing injustice. This character is irreconcilable with the dark reality at that time. Therefore, Lu Da challenged the whole feudal ruling class and took the initiative to take the road of resistance. Yang Zhi, the "three generations behind the door", embarked on a more tortuous road to Liangshan. "One knife, one gun, one wife and one son" is his purpose in life. To achieve this goal, he can compromise. The fall of "Hua Shi Gang" did not shake his will to pursue "fame and fortune", nor did Gao Qiu's exclusion pull him back from this road. After being favored by Liang Zhongshu, his desire for fame and fortune became stronger. The brave bravado on the field and the diligence in the birthday class escort fully illustrate this point. Until the "family planning" was robbed, not only the road to fame was cut off, but also the danger of being trapped, so I had to go to Liangshan. In addition, Li Kui jy and others from the bottom of society resolutely oppose different attitudes and strive for security. Wu Yong, a feudal scholar, advocated conditional wooing; The vast majority of generals from the official army are eagerly looking forward to wooing them. This different attitude can be completely based on their respective identities and experiences. In the characterization, Shuihu always puts the characters in the torrent of class struggle, and even puts them at the critical moment of life and death, and expresses their personality characteristics with their own actions and language. In the story of "Shi Xiu jumped off a building when he grabbed a gift", he described it like this: "Upstairs, Shi Xiu just uttered a chord, pulled out his broadsword and shouted,' All the heroes in the water margin are here!' "... Shi Xiu will jump down from upstairs, take a steel knife, kill people like chopping vegetables, and kill a dozen; Stall Lu Junyi with one hand and go south. "Just a few strokes, activated by several unusually agile sketches of Shi Xiu, he made a decisive decision and showed his fearless character incisively and vividly. The author skillfully combines the movements, language and inner complex activities of the characters. Although there is no static psychological description, it can accurately and profoundly reveal the inner world of the characters. Similarly, taking robbery as an example, because Shi Xiu learned the news of Lu Junyi's execution in an extremely urgent and unprepared situation, he could not help but realize the danger of personal robbery with his delicacy; But at this critical moment, there is no other way to think. From Shi Xiu's anxiety in the restaurant, we can feel his intense inner activities. He thought, if you want to save Lu Junyi in the heavily guarded and sword-lined imperial court, you must first suppress the enemy's momentum. So he shouted without going downstairs, and then grabbed Lu Junyi and left while the enemy was unconscious. When he was arrested, he cursed Liang Zhongshu and revealed that the Liangshan army was about to enter the city, which made Liang Zhongshu afraid to kill them. Through Shi Xiu's decisive actions and changing language, we can see his subtle inner activities. There are many wonderful descriptions like this in the novel, such as Lin Chong's subtle psychology when he grabbed Gao Yanei's fist to fight but didn't dare to fall down, and Song Jiang's unfulfilled ambition and depressed mood when he wrote an anti-poem, all of which show the inner world of the characters through actions and language, further deepening the characters' character.
