1. Is there a Song River in history? Historically, it was Song Jiang, but unlike Water Margin, he had only 36 brothers, and all the other characters were made up by Shi Naian. He was the leader of the peasant uprising during the Song Xuanhe period, and his base was not Liangshan, Shui Bo. In the historical book History of Song Dynasty, there is no record of thirty-six people of Sung River in biographies of Hui Zong and Zhang Shuye.

Second, what was Song Jiang like in history? Evonne of Song Huizong is a famous hedonist and a bad king in history. He doesn't think of the people, and heavy taxes have forced everyone to have no choice. Therefore, in119, Song Jiang took more than 30 brothers to rise up, which was unprecedented. Chen Tai in Yuan Dynasty said in the preface to the Collection of Legacy of Jiangnan: "Song was a brave and chivalrous man". That's also a compliment to Song Jiang, who is very brave and respected by everyone.

At the same time, Fang La also started an uprising, and Fang La's uprising was more skillful. At first, they used religion to confuse people, and gradually they had their own peasant army. And Fang La has his own ideas. They want to overthrow the court and establish their own dynasty, which can be said to be very good. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Sung River team is not weak. "Biography of Zhang Shuye" said: "When you turn to ten counties, the loyalists dare not treasure their front"; Hou Meng Biography also recorded that "thirty-six Jiang men and tens of thousands of government troops crossed the Qi and Wei Dynasties, and no one dared to stop them." It can be seen that the strength of Song Jiang's small army is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Song Jianggang's uprising did not attract the attention of the imperial court, so that in the later period, their rebel army grew slowly. At this time, Song Huizong bedside Hou Meng suggested occupying Sung River's team, and letting Sung River fight Fang La, while taking advantage of fishermen's interests. In the History of Song Dynasty (35 1 volume) and Biography, he praised: "(Hou) lived in a simple life and never forgot the monarch, but he was also a wise minister."

After Song Jiang accepted "woo", the court granted all the positions of rebel generals to win them over. "Xuanhe Legacy" contains: "Song Jiang and 36 people were appointed by military doctors and lived in various patrol envoys. "However, unlike the water margin, Song Jiang is not dedicated to wooing Ann, but he still has the idea of rebellion and uprising in his heart. However, the uprising was not so successful. In just a few months, it failed. As for the ending of Song Jiang, the original record of History of Song Dynasty states that Song Jiang was executed by Zhang Shuye after his surrender. It can be seen that the real Song Jiang in history is still very different from that in novels and TV dramas. They reluctantly accepted the appeal, but in the face of the ugly face of the court, they chose to rebel. Although the result is not satisfactory, they are still heroes.
