Zhu Tong, nicknamed Mei Jie Gong (美髯公), was a native of Yuncheng County, a wealthy family, and was initially the head of the Horse Soldiers of Chengxian County, and later changed to the rank of prison section. LieliangShan will be 12th. After being recruited, he accompanied Song Jiang and Lu Junyi in the southern expedition to the north and made meritorious contributions, and was awarded the title of General of Wujie and the ruler of Baoding Province. Later, he made meritorious contributions in managing the army in Baoding Province, and then accompanied Liu Guangshi to break the big gold and became the emissary of the Taiping Army.
The story of Zhu Tong before he went up the mountain is mainly three times of righteous release:
The first time was to rob Chao Gai and others of the Birthday Class. His "release" is active and thoughtful. Afraid that the county clerk and the attaché would see it, he took a lot of effort. Afraid that Lei Heng, who went to arrest the criminals, would not give Chao Gai "convenience", he also deliberately proposed that he go to the North Gate to arrest him. The "Water Margin" wrote: "It turned out that Zhu Tong had the intention to put Chao Gai on, and deliberately earned thunder to hit the front door. This Lei Heng also had the heart to save Chao Gai, so he scrambled to hit the back door first, but was told by Zhu Tong that he had to hit his front door. Deliberately such a fuss, the sound of the east and west, to urge Chao Gai to leave. When he pretended to chase Chao Gai, he also said to Chao Gai deliberately: "You see me dodge a road for you to pass." You can't go anywhere else, except for Liangshan Po. It can be seen that Zhu Tong is careful and meticulous to his friends. In fact, in the process of releasing Chao Gai and Releasing Song Jiang, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng both deliberately released people, and because of the reasons of public office, they could not say it explicitly, so they deliberately sold some guanzi to another person to achieve the purpose of smooth release.
The second time was to release And kill Song Jiang, who killed Yan Poxi. When the Song Jiang case occurred, he hid in Song Jiazhuang. Zhixian sent Zhu Tong and Lei Heng to search for them. Zhu Tong guessed that Song Jiang was hiding in the ground under the Buddhist hall, but he deliberately pretended not to know. In order to hide people's eyes, he deliberately let the unsuspecting Lei Heng search first, and of course Lei Heng could not search, at this time, Zhu Tong pretended not to be at ease, saying that he searched again, but went to Song Jiang's hiding place to secretly meet Song Jiang, inform him of the handling of the case, and urged him to flee quickly. It was under Zhu Tong's thoughtfulness that Song Jiang was able to defect to Chai Daguanren.
The third time was to release Lei Heng, who killed Bai Xiuying. Lei Heng did not bring money to listen to the play, and clashed with Bai Xiuying, who sang the play. Bai Xiuying had a lover relationship with Zhixian and forcibly tied Lei Heng to the door of the hook bar to show the public. Lei Mu couldn't see it, argued with Bai Xiuying, and was beaten by Bai Xiuying. Lei Heng, who was the most filial piety, burst into flames and beat Bai Xiuying to death. Father Bai stared at the case, and Lei Heng could not escape. In the face of such a capital crime, Lei Mu was helpless, and others were even more helpless. At this time, Zhu Tong's role was revealed. "Zhu Tongzi went to Zhixian to beat the joints and used human feelings for him up and down. Although Nazhi County loved Zhu Tong, he only hated this thunder and killed his bitch Bai Xiuying, and he could not tolerate him. How can bai yu qiao that, urge to merge into a copy, to know that the county judgment Lei Heng paid for his life. Under such circumstances, Zhu Tong had to use a rescue trick: on the way to jeju, he secretly released Lei Heng. He used the excuse of not paying attention to being offended and escaping, and let Zhixian punish him for the crime of playing his duties, and was assigned to Cangzhou.
Zhu Tongkui was brave and brave. He was eight feet forty-five in length, with a tiger's beard and a length of one foot and five inches; his face was like a heavy jujube, and his eyes were like a long star, like Guan Yun's long appearance. Fight for righteousness and loose wealth, and get to know the good guys in the rivers and lakes. Attacking Gao Tang, Daming Province, Dongchang Province, Huashan Province, Qingzhou, Zhan Tong Guan, Gao Li, Zheng Liao, Tian Hu, Destroying Wang Qing, Fighting Fang La, etc., he participated in almost all battles, and occupied an important position, he was able to kill the son of the Zeng family and defeat the general Fang La, which showed that his martial skills were strong.
Zhu Tong's mind was meticulous. Whether it is to help Chao Gai, put Song Jiang or Shi Lei Heng, there are his careful arrangements before and after. Even when Song Jiang and him were drinking, he mentioned that there was a hiding place in the house, and he remembered it clearly. Song Jiang said at that time: "There is a cellar under the Buddhist hall in my house, on which there are three Buddhas for the offering, and there is a floor under the Buddha's seat, and the bed is pressed on it." When Song Jiang came to arrest him at the behest of Zhi County, the secret Song Jiang told him came in handy here: Zhu Tong "walked into the Buddhist hall, dragged the offering bed aside, and lifted the floor." There is a rope head under the board, and the head of the rope is only shaken, and as soon as the brass bell sounds, Song Jiang will drill out of the cellar. Then, he suggested that Song Jiang flee quickly.
Zhu Tong was deeply angry. He released people three times, not for himself, but for his friends. If it was for himself, he would not have taken that risk to release people. For friends, he can give up himself, "two ribs inserted knife is not too painful." If Zhu Tong let go of Chao Gai and Song Jiang, and still held the luck of concealing his superiors, there would be no luck when he released the thunder, and he must come out and bear the responsibility of the criminals to escape. If Zhu Tong had a little bit of self-interest, he wouldn't have done this. He put his friend together with himself, made a plan, and said to Lei Heng: "Brother Xian, go home to get the old mother, and go to the night of the stars to escape elsewhere, here I will eat the lawsuit for you." Lei Heng did not want to bother Zhu Tong, but Zhu Tong said: "Brother, you don't know, Zhixian is afraid that you will kill his cousin, but this copywriter is dead." To the state, it will make you pay for your life. I let you go, and I must not be condemned to death. In addition, I have no parents to worry about, and the furniture can be doubled. You're thinking ahead of you. ”
The character of the good men of Liangshan has a development process. The same is true of Zhu Tong. His righteous qi, which remained at a lower level in the three releases, belonged to the jianghu righteous qi. After joining the Liangshan contingent, his righteousness was constantly sublimated along with the ideals and goals of the entire contingent, and at this time, whether it was anti-corruption officials, or conquest of Liao, and fangla, they all rose to the height of human justice and national righteousness. Zhu Tong had a heavy stake in the Liangshan team. If it is said that the Chai officials in Cangzhou have helped Lin Chong, Song Jiang, Wu Song and others, and have been kind to Liangshan Po, then, at this point, Zhu Tong of Yuncheng is not worse than him at all. Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Liu Tang, Gongsun Sheng, and other participants in the Outsmart Birth Anniversary Class ran to Liangshan with the help of Zhu Tong. If Zhu Tong hadn't deliberately let them go, the future Liangshan cause would not have existed at all. Lei Heng also joined Liangshan's team after Zhu Tong sacrificed himself to save him. As for Song Jiang, that's not to mention. Because of Zhu Tong's special relationship with Chao Gai, Song Jiang, and others, he was used heavily and actively contributed to Liangshan's killing of the enemy.
Zhu Tong's mental journey before going up the mountain was more complicated, and he was also forced to go to Liangshan helplessly. It has to do with his own factors. Like Song Jiang, as a staff member of Yuncheng County, he has good character, good popularity, good work, and is an errand boy under Zhi County, cherishes this errand very much, is very satisfied, cannot have a non-share of thoughts, and is even more unwilling to fall into the grass. Releasing Chao Gai and Song Jiang is only for that righteous spirit, and it is expected that it can be concealed, and may not be prosecuted. This time, he was indeed prosecuted, but for the sake of righteousness, he still undertook it. He said that although he was assigned to Cangzhou, he could be released after a year and a half of his sentence, and he always looked forward to that day. After arriving in Cangzhou, the prefect saw Zhu Tong with a non-vulgar appearance, looking like a heavy jujube and having a beautiful beard, and liked him very much, and did not let him go to the prison to serve his sentence, but stayed in the palace. Zhu Tong has a scheming, will come to things, and the relationship with all kinds of people up and down the palace, etc., and is liked by the prefect Xiao Ya Nei, often holding Xiao Ya Nei to play, doing very active, very in place, and spending a lot of money to buy things for Xiao Ya Nei to eat. He didn't want to go up the hill and fall into the grass. On July 15, on the day of Lent, Lei heng hugged Xiao Ya nei to see the river lamp. Wu Yong and Lei Heng came to persuade him to go to Liangshan, but he was very disgusted and decided not to go, just as Song Jiangfa and Jiangzhou would never fall into the grass in Liangshan. He said to Wu Yong, "Sir, it's bad. This is a short topic, I am afraid that it will not be heard well by outsiders. Brother Lei Heng, he committed his own damn sin, I let him go because of righteousness, he could not get out of his head, and went up the mountain to the wall. I am worthy of him here, god pity, a year and a half, struggling to return to my hometown, to be a good citizen, how can I be willing to do such a thing? You two can please come back, Hugh is not good here! Lei Heng persuaded him: "My brother is here, it is nothing more than the work of a big husband and manhood under people." It was not the younger brother who entangled himself on the mountain, duan Chao and Song Ergong looked up at their brother Jiuyi, and Hugh was delayed by mistake. Zhu Tong said very firmly, "Brother, what words are you!" You don't want to, I let you go for your mother's hometown cold, and today you came to fall into injustice! "How clear Zhu Tong's attitude is. Wu Yong knew that Zhu Tong would not be willing to go up the mountain, and in order to earn him to join the Liangshan team, he had to take extraordinary measures. Here Wu Yong and Lei Heng borrowed a conversation to break him up, and over there Li Kui took Xiao Yanei away and killed him, thus completely cutting off Zhu Tong's retreat. Seeing this, Zhu Tong was naturally furious and chased after Li Kui to fight with him, even if the Chai officials came out to persuade him, Zhu Tong still felt that he did not share the sky with this Li Kui who had cut off his future. Being earned and having to go up the mountain is very similar to Lu Yuanwai in Beijing's DamingFu.
"Water Margin" is to promote loyalty, the real loyal people are high-minded, in the author's pen, Lu Junyi, Zhu Tong and other people are very worthy of appreciation. He wrote Lu Junyi as a jade qilin, which is a beautiful and auspicious thing in the minds of Chinese. He wrote Zhu Tong as "Beautiful Hair", deliberately using Guan Yu's image to portray him, and regarded him as a hero like Guan Gong, the embodiment of a righteous soldier.
At the end of "Water Margin", there is a poem that says: "When you are born to eat and die, the man's life has been paid." It is said that a manly husband should do great things, be a pillar, and do a great cause for the country and the nation. The good men of Liangshan, represented by Song Jiang, with such ambitions, also realized such a wish. We say that this is only one aspect, and at the same time, they were also persecuted by such traitors as Cai Jing and Gao Li, and Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, Li Kui, Wu Yong, and Hua Rong all died of hatred, so that the author of "Water Margin" lamented: "Thousands of years of indigo dust buried in jade, falling flowers and birds are always worried." The Water Margin one hundred and eight will eventually die and be wounded, and there are very few good deaths, but Zhu Tong is the one who has received a good death, and has also made a festival envoy.
