According to historians' research, during the reign of Xuanhe in Song Huizong, Song Jiang and his water margin uprising did exist, which was a historical event in which thirty-six people, including Song Jiang, ran amok in Huainan.
Liangshan Lake, located in the west of Shandong Province, was originally a small lake, but it merged with many small lakes around it due to the repeated flooding of the Yellow River from the Five Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty. By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, a 800-mile lake was formed, with criss-crossing ports, reeds and many natural islands. The situation is both dangerous and complicated.
The fuse of the Sung River Uprising was that, in order to solve the financial difficulties, the Song Dynasty declared that all the 800-mile waters of the Water Margin were "public", and stipulated that people who went into the lake to fish, collect lotus roots and cut pu should pay heavy taxes according to the size of the ship, and those who violated the rules were punished as thieves.
Poor and middle peasants, fishermen can't afford to pay heavy taxes, so under the leadership of Song Jiang and others, they took risks and stopped the officers and men who came to suppress by virtue of the terrain where water margin was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In the first four or five years, Song Jiang and others stuck to the water margin. It was not until the first year of Song Huizong Xuanhe (1 1 19) that the uprising was officially declared. Then they left the water margin and moved to Qing, Qi and Pu, and the government began to notice the existence of this rebel army. The rebels were finally recruited by the government.

Evonne of Song Huizong is a famous hedonist and a bad king in history. It can be said that he is very talented, can recite poems and songs, can write and draw, and especially likes to play. There is nothing wrong with sound, color, books, paintings, exotic flowers and rocks, birds and beasts, and even cuju.
Anyone who can do what he likes, whether he is a minister in the DPRK, a eunuch in the court or a street official, can get his trust and reuse. Among them, Cai Jing, Zhu Cuo, Tong Guan and other six people are the most important, and they are also called "Six Thieves".
The Northern Song rulers feasted, but the peasants were hungry and cold. Faced with the behavior of Cai Jing and his gang who squandered the people's paste, the people complained bitterly and couldn't help shouting, "It's good to break the bucket (Tong Guan) and spill food (Cai Jing)", so peasant uprisings broke out one after another in various places. Among them, the first year of Song Huizong Xuanhe (1 1658).
