"Water Margin" is one of the four famous novels, but it is undeniable that the plot after the seventy episodes of the original work is obviously not as good as the first seventy episodes, especially the plot of the section of Zheng Fangla, there is a sense of urgency to finish, and the once invincible heroes of Liangshan actually died one after another.
In the last episode of the original work, the song "Man Tingfang" summed up the absurd life of the heroes of Liangshan.
"Gangxing starts in Hebei, and heroes are in all directions. Wutai Mountain made a vow to sweep away the Liao country and change its name. Feng Zhao south to collect Fang La, urging the Yangtze River to cross. One broke the enemy from Runzhou and swept through Qiantang. Arrive at Qingxi, climb Yuling, and wade Gaogang. The hive was extinguished, and the class teacher returned to his hometown. can be hated as a slanderer, ignorant of men and children, and the lord will be in trouble. Pity a dream, tearful lines. ”
(Wu Song, Lu Zhishen stills)
When he came, he was domineering in all directions, why did he end up with a "tearful" ending?
Perhaps the answer is very simple, the people who live on Liangshan have never been a group of good people, and some of them just deserve it, such as the one to be mentioned in this article, he doesn't know how many women he has harmed, but he has also mixed with Liangshan.
1. Liangshan, where wicked people are rampant
"Water Margin" already had a good reputation before the film and television, but it really exploded, and Mr. Liu Huan's "Song of a Hero" contributed a lot, a sentence of "When the road is uneven, a roar, when it is time to shoot" is to make the heroic image of Liangshan heroes spread all over the world, but only those who have really read the original book know that Liangshan is also full of evil people.
Take the scene Lin Chong saw when he first went to Liangshan, you know what kind of place it is.
He said: "The mountains are lined with huge waves, and the water is connected to the sky." Thousands of swords and guns were gathered in chaos, and thousands of layers of swords and halberds were lined up in strange trees. The antlers on the edge of the sea are all gathered into bones; The bowl scoop in the village is made of skeletons. Peel off the human skin and cover the war drum, and cut off the hair for the reins...... The clouds of sorrow rose on the broken gold pavilion, and the murderous atmosphere was born in front of the Juyi Hall. ”
This mountain is like a lion camel ridge, the water is like a dirty spring, where it looks like a place where heroes and heroes live, but it is like the cave of those monsters in "Journey to the West", which is really terrifying.
And if you want to talk about the specific bad guys, let's not talk about those thieves who kill people and oversell goods, let's just say Dai Zong, this guy is Song Jiang's cronies, what do you think of him?
Loyalty?

No, he was a typical corrupt official before he went to Liangshan.
When Song Jiang fell into his hands, he was almost killed, and you look at his attitude towards Song Jiang: "That section level scolded: 'You dwarf black killer! Whose power do you rely on not to send me the usual money? Song Jiang said: "Human affection, human affection, in human willingness." How do you force people to get money, what a little look! When the people on both sides heard this, they sweated twice. The man was furious and shouted: 'The thief is with the army, and An dares to be so rude, and say that I am small! The one who carried the bag carried it on his back with me, and beat this fellow with a hundred sticks! ’”
You see, if it weren't for Song Jiang who met him, I am afraid that he would have been killed by him.
However, the most hateful thing on Liangshan is not this kind of person, but the womanizer who bullies women.
2. Womanizers
When it comes to the womanizers on Liangshan, most people will think of Wang Ying and Zhou Tong, these two are indeed obscene and shameless.
But don't say it, they are all "thieves have a way".
(Zhou Tong stills)
Let's just say that Zhou Tong, although he has already occupied the mountain with Li Zhong as the king of Taohua Mountain, he is also a small force, and he has done a lot of bullying men and women, and later he wants to marry the daughter of Liu Taigong is enough to prove this, but this is also the problem, he wants to "marry" others, not to harm others and leave it alone, even if it is a forced marriage, he is trying his best to go through the process.
Besides, Wang Ying, he had the intention to occupy Liu Gao's wife, and later the woman was killed by Yan Shun, so he could only give up, and Song Jiang was the matchmaker, so he married Hu Sanniang.
So you say how lustful they are, and they seem to be decent people, and conversely, you can also say that they are open-minded, and they are all clear with you.
And there is a good man is different, that person is good at playing yin, and the person I am referring to is the "golden-eyed biao" grace.
3. Wu Song's people who protect it
The role of Shi En actually has no talent, and the reason why he can mix with Liangshan is due to his relationship with Wu Song.
At the beginning, Wu Song was imprisoned after killing his sister-in-law and was escorted to Mengzhou, but he was not treated as a sinner, but he treated him as a guest, and entertained him with good wine and food, Wu Song only felt flattered.
Later, I learned that Shi En was asking for him, and that guy had heard that Wu Song's "Tiger Fighting Hero" was extremely powerful, and he just wanted to use his hand to get rid of Jiang Menshen and recapture the Happy Forest.

Don't look at Wu Song's "drunken beating Jiang Menshen" episode, which makes people applaud, in fact, this battle has nothing to do with good and evil, good and evil, because Jiang Menshen is evil, and Wu Song is fighting with him from the standpoint of grace, which is also not good, after all, grace is not a good thing.
He is like a parent to Wu Song, but he is not the same face for other criminals who have no talent.
Just look at what he said when he introduced himself to Wu Song.
The book only said: "There is a market outside the east gate of the little brother, and the place name is called Happy Forest." However, merchants from Shandong and Hebei all came there to do business, and there were 100 large inns, 30 gambling houses, and exchange shops. In the past, the younger brother relied on his personal skills, and the other caught eighty or ninety abandoned prisoners in the camp, and went there to open a wine and meat shop, all of which were divided among the shops, gambling houses, and exchange shops. But when she came there, she had to come to see her younger brother first, and then let him go to eat. There is spare money every day in many places, and there are three or two hundred taels of silver to find at the end of the month, so that it is profitable. ”
To put it bluntly, he just relied on his own little power in his hands, so he became the king and hegemon in Mengzhou, and even the passing Fengyue women wanted to live in Mengzhou, and they had to go through his hands first, and I don't know how many women he had harmed.
(Shi En, Wu Song stills)
To put it bluntly, his relationship with Jiang Menshen is a typical black eating black, if Jiang Menshen stammered Wu Song first, I am afraid that Wu Song can stage a drama of "drunk beating Jinyan Biao".
But Wu Song has always been a short-mouthed eater, and he had to help him because he got the benefit of grace.
As for the third-rate martial artist who was able to mix with Liangshan later, it was naturally because his friendship with Wu Song was not bad, if there was no Wu Song's protection, how could Song Jiang accept such a bastard to go up the mountain.
So looking back, why are most of the endings of the heroes of Liangshan tragic? It's because most of them aren't good people in the first place, they only deserve to end up like this.
