Qin Qiong’s connections are not as good as those of Shan Xiongxin

Qin Qiong, also known as Qin Shubao, is known as Xiao Mengchang and likes to make friends from all over the world. Logically speaking, his connections should be extremely extensive, but Why do you say that his connections are not as good as Shan Xiongxin's?

Here we first want to say that before Shan Xiongxin met Qin Shubao, he was a green forest hero. What is a green forest hero? He is a robber who robs the rich and gives to the poor. And this At that time, Qin Shubao was just an obscure official. The official circle of friends should be relatively wide, otherwise Qin Shubao would not be known as Xiao Mengchang, but compared with the green forest hero, he is still a little behind. At that time, Shan Xiongxin was a member of the Communist Party of China, but secretly he robbed the rich and helped the poor. He was able to move between the government and bandits. His skills and eloquence were not weak. He must have known many people, both black and white. Qin Shubao was not deeply involved in the world. In this regard, he is simply inferior to Shan Xiongxin.

In addition, when Qin Shubao sold the horse, Shan Xiongxin already knew Xiao Mengchang from Jinan, Shandong, but did not know his appearance, while Qin Shubao did not know Shan Xiongxin yet. Shan Xiongxin has a wide range of information sources. What he relies on to collect information is, of course, connections!

There is also the appearance of the character Wang Bodang. Whether it is "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" or "Talking about the Tang Dynasty", Shan Xiongxin knew Wang Bodang earlier than Qin Shubao. Even Shan Xiongxin and Qin Shubao Wang Bodang has known each other for many years, and Qin Shubao only met Wang Bodang. It has to be said that even Xiao Mengchang sometimes cannot make all the friends in the world. Therefore, from these points of view, Qin Qiong's connections are indeed slightly inferior.

However, no matter who has a wide network of connections and who has a slightly lower network, both of them have made friends all over the world, and their reputations have long been praised by people in the world.

In 620 AD, Li Tang marched towards Luoyang, the eastern capital, with the iron hoof to unify the Central Plains. The person who led the troops to resist was Shan Xiongxin, who had a deep hatred for Li Tang. During this war, Shan Xiongxin almost killed Li Shimin. One day, Li Shiming was riding his horse in the Royal Orchard, and unexpectedly ran into Shan Xiongxin.

As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, so Shan Xiongxin picked up his gun and chased him away without saying a word.

Shan Xiongxin was captured by Li Tang after all. He hated Li Tang to the core, and he had harmed Li Shimin several times. He knew there was no way out, so he would never surrender and wanted to die. And Xu Shi?荖⑶獍捼荼荤?谛子?笄椋?饫thorium鬬謬芫?/p>

Nao In addition, before his death, Shan Xiongxin made a vow to "never surrender to the Tang Dynasty for three generations", and the people made up many rumors based on this statement. . It is said that Shan Xiongxin reincarnated four times after his death, namely: Gai Suwen, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, Su Baotong, the commander-in-chief of Xiliang, Xue Gang, the anti-Tang rebel, and the familiar An Lushan. Of course, these are all folk rumors and are only used for after-dinner conversation and cannot be trusted.

Who is Shan Xiongxin in history?

What kind of person is Shan Xiongxin? There are many mixed opinions in history.

Stills of Shan Xiongxin in "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties"

First of all, Shan Xiongxin is a righteous person. Before the rebellion against the Sui Dynasty, as the leader of the green forest heroes in the northern provinces, he had helped those in need on more than one occasion. The people who received his favor ranged from ordinary people to heroes who later became famous far and wide. The good deeds he and his brother did were highly praised by people, and they were called the "Two Sages". In addition, Qin Qiong, a well-known general of the Tang Dynasty, was once so embarrassed that he wanted to sell his mount. After Shan Xiongxin learned about it, he even donated money to the other party to tide over the difficulties. In addition, Li Mi also received his help when he was in trouble.

Secondly, Shan Xiongxin is a courageous and sincere man. In the late Sui Dynasty, the tyrants were unkind and the people were in dire straits, and chaos was about to emerge. Shan Xiongxin met many like-minded people, and they gathered together in Erxianzhuang to promote the righteousness of heaven and earth. Later, Wagangzhai rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, and he joined forces without hesitation. The basis is the spirit of sincerity in one's heart to serve the people and do justice.

Finally, Shan Xiongxin is an extremely stubborn person. The hatred between him and Li Tang lasted throughout his life, and also set the tone for his tragic death. Many people have tried to persuade him to let go of the hatred in his heart, but he has never been able to get over his own hurdle. His idea was simple and stubborn. In his opinion, the outcome of the entanglement with Li Tang was nothing more than death and death, and there was no other choice. While people were saddened by his death, they also felt that his character was very cute and respectable.

Although, some people say that Shan Xiongxin was indecisive when Zhai Rang and Li Mi were fighting for power. He was a person who had no independent opinions and acted according to the wind. But looking at ancient and modern times, who can do it without any stain?

How did Shan Xiongxin die?

In the first year of Tang Wude (AD 618), Wagang Village, which once dominated the troubled times, was defeated by Wang Shichong's army. From then on, many generals from the original Wagang Village followed the general trend and joined Li Shimin's command. But only Shan Xiongxin switched to Wang Shichong's army because of the irreconcilable hatred between him and Li Tang.

In the third year of Wude (620 AD), Li Shimin led an army to attack Wang Shichong's headquarters, and Shan Xiongxin led the army to fight. During the war, Shan Xiongxin once posed a threat to Li Shimin's life. But Li Shimin had the last laugh after all.

Some old Wagang generals in the past, thinking of their friendship with Shan Xiongxin back then, appealed to Li Shimin one after another. I hope that Shan Xiongxin’s death penalty will be pardoned.

But until the end, Shan Xiongxin still refused to give in to Li Shimin. A generation of heroes from the Sui and Tang Dynasties eventually ended up with their heads and bodies missing.

Why would Shan Xiongxin rather die than surrender to the hero?

After being captured, Shan Xiongxin knew that under the circumstances, he had only two choices: die or surrender.

Shan Xiongxin’s father and brother both died at the hands of Li Yuan. This hatred for him can be described as unbearable. In addition, he is a strong-willed and stubborn person, so it is naturally impossible for him to kowtow to the son of his enemy and beg for mercy. The outcome is obvious.

Why can’t Li Shimin let Shan Xiongxin go?

In the eyes of the world, Li Shimin has always been a wise and heroic leader. For such a character, why can't Shan Xiongxin, who no longer poses a threat, be pardoned? Or because of the grudge between Shan and Li's family, Shan Xiongxin threatened his personal safety several times. This made him understand that it was impossible to make Shan Xiongxin surrender to Li Tang. Coupled with Wang Shichong's defeat, the overall situation of the world has been decided. Naturally, it was impossible for him to let go of anyone who posed a threat to Li Tang.

No one will surrender, no one will be released. The occurrence of tragedy is inevitable.
