There is a famous saying that history is a little girl dressed up, and why is the novel not like this? Since Shi Nai'an wrote the book "Water Margin", some writers have begun to write sequels, the most famous of which are Chen Chen's "Water Margin" and Yu Wanchun's "Dangkou Zhi".
In the "History of Song", it is written: "Jiang ran rampant in Qi Wei with thirty-six people, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers did not dare to resist. "In "Water Margin", the good men of Liangshan are also invincible. However, in "Dang Kou Zhi", the brave and invincible good men simply became the scum of the war, and were hanged and beaten by two yellow haired servants, Chen Liqing and Liu Huiniang.
Chen Liqing's father, Chen Xizhen, was the leader of the 800,000 Forbidden Army, and he was considered Tonai's colleague. Their father and daughter and Lin Chong had a similar encounter, and Chen Xizhen's precious daughter Chen Liqing was taken in by Gao Yanei. However, this Chen Liqing was not easy to mess with, she cut off the ears of Gao Gongzi, taught him a harsh lesson, and died with her father.
According to the routine in "Water Margin", after being framed, generally Zhongliang only has one way to go to Liangshan. Song Jiang and the others also extended an olive branch, but Chen Xizhen refused their kindness and found a place called Ape Arm Village to fall into the grass.
Although he was also forced to become a bandit and was equally eager to be recruited by the imperial court and reused, Chen Xizhen's connections were much stronger than Song Jiang's, and he not only knew a military region commander, Yun Tianbiao, but his brother-in-law Liu Guang was also an official. Therefore, he did not have officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress this cottage, but he was able to cooperate with the officers and soldiers to fight against Liangshan with the approval of the imperial court, and became the main force, but zhang Shuye, the leader of the officers and soldiers, and others seemed to be playing soy sauce. In order to whitewash himself, this Chen Xizhen also did his best to help the officers and soldiers deal with the good men of Liangshan.
In the book, there are many talents in the officers and soldiers, including Young Talents such as Zhu Yongqing and Yunlong, but the most powerful ones are the two female generals, Chen Liqing and Liu Huiniang.
Perhaps the author is referring to the routine of "Water Margin", in which the one hundred and eight good men are all demons in the sky, the stars of heaven and the stars of hell. In the "Lang Kou Zhi", these skilled generals in the official army are all leibu gods, such as Chen Liqing, who is "the ruler of the Qiongling Lei Mansion, the eight thunder car fei gang slashed the nine-day thunder gate messenger Ah Xiang goddess Yuan Jun Tuosheng." "Just looking at this title is quite intimidating, Chen Liqing's skill is not blown, she has a pear blossom gun flying flowers and snow, or a sharp archer, more powerful than Xiao Li Guanghuarong."
Among the good men of Liangshan, almost no one was Chen Liqing's opponent, she stabbed Gu Dajie to death, strangled the third lady, captured Sun Erniang alive, and the three heroines of Liangshan hung up. Even Lin Chong, one of the best martial artists in Liangshan, did not dare to fight her, and fled as soon as he met her.
In addition, Chen Liqing also beheaded Wang Ying, Gong Wang, Ding Desun, Huang Xin, and Sun Xin, and shot Hua Rong while fighting arrows. Among the good men of Liangshan, ten died at her hands.
Chen Liqing also has an advantage, just like a perpetual motion machine, never tired, and fight all over the world invincible, no matter how many people come to the other side, how long the battle lasts, in the end will be dead and wounded, running is not fast, it will definitely have to die.
Let's talk about Liu Huiniang, this Liu Huiniang is Chen Liqing's cousin, who looks like a closed moon and shy, wenjing and gentle, but definitely not a weak woman. The book says that when Liu Huiniang was sixteen years old, there was a nun who wanted to take her as an apprentice, but her parents refused, but then she disappeared, disappeared for half a year and miraculously returned home, it is said that she followed the nun up the mountain and learned the art of war, Qi men and Six Ren. She also has a magic skill, that is, she is born with a pair of eyes, and she can see everything at night, and she can see people two or three hundred miles away during the day. It's even better than a telescope and infrared night vision gear.
There is also Chen Xizhen, who can also do all kinds of Taoist spells, and Gongsun Sheng does not deserve to give him shoes.
Sure enough, in front of such a group of powerful figures, Wu Yong's schemes, Gongsun Sheng's magic, and Dai Zong's Scud legs were not worth mentioning. Every time the good men of Liangshan took the initiative to attack, they were going to send heads, every defense was waiting to be slaughtered, and every retaliation was to be killed back. As a result, the good men of Liangshan beat fewer and fewer people, either beheaded on horseback or captured alive, waiting to be sent to the capital. The cities and cottages occupied by Song Jiang and others were breached one after another, and finally all the outer positions were lost, and the brothers were completely damaged, and they could only hold Liangshan.
But Rao was heavily guarded in Liangshan, and the good men resisted desperately, shed the last drop of blood, and finally ushered in their own doom. Wu Song died of exhaustion, and after Lu Zhishen went mad, the old wound burst open and died. Wu Yong was also captured alive, and Song Jiang escaped, almost escaping the disaster, but in the end he was caught by the Jia Ren Jiayi brothers on a fishing boat and sent to the official palace, and the good Han of Liangshan was completely destroyed.
The final ending of the book is that in addition to the good men of Liangshan who died in battle, thirty-six people were captured alive and all escorted to the capital, and Ling Chi was executed, and the flesh and blood were flying everywhere, making people unbearable to look at them directly.
Later, when people read this book, they will always say that it is a book that slanders the peasant uprising, but in fact, as the author said, such a story ending is in line with the real history.
The "Biography of Song Shi Zhang ShuYe" records the process of Zhang Shuye's capture of Song Jiang by means of a plan in Haizhou Zhizhou: "The Song River rises from Heshuo and turns to ten counties, and the officials and troops do not dare to attack qifeng." The claim is coming, the uncle night messengers are looking at each other, the thieves are on the verge of the sea, robbing more than ten boats, and carrying halogens. So he recruited thousands of dead soldiers, set up an ambush near the city, and sent out light troops to the sea, and lured the battle. Hide by the sea, wait for the soldiers to join forces, and raise fire to burn their boats. When thieves hear about it, they have no fighting spirit, and when they ambush the soldiers, they capture their deputy thieves, and Jiang Nai descends. ”
A Zhizhou, with a thousand people, can defeat Song Jiang and force him to surrender, which shows that Song Jiang's power is not as strong as in "Water Margin". And their final outcome was indeed destroyed by the officers and men.
After the failure of the Taiping Rebellion of Yu Wanchun, the author of "Dang Kou Zhi", almost all the senior generals were executed by Ling Chi, which is not much different from the description of "Dang Kou Zhi". On the contrary, the invincible and invincible deeds of a group of mountain kings in "Water Margin" can only exist in the heroic myths invented by the literati.
