What was Sung River like in history?
Song Jiang's Historical Prototype

Wang's "Epitaph of Wang Gong, a bachelor of the Moge Pavilion" said: "Sung River thieves Hebei opera, but it's against Mo." Zhang Shou's "Epitaph of Jiang Yuan" written in Piling Collection and Secret Pavilion says: "Sung River fled and plundered all the way to Shandong, and there was a great earthquake in the prefecture and county, so many officials avoided hiding." Huizongji, the History of Song Dynasty, recorded three years of Xuanhe (1 122). "Song Jiang, a thief from Huainan, committed the Huai Yang Army, sent his generals to beg for arrest, committed JD.COM (now Shandong), entered the border of Chu and Haizhou in Jiangbei, and ordered the satrap Zhang Shuye to surrender." It is also mentioned in A Brief Introduction to the East that Hou Meng, then governor of Bozhou, wrote to the emperor: "JD.COM, the governor of Songjiangkou, wrote a letter saying that thirty-six people from Songjiangkou had crossed the Qi and Wei Dynasties, and tens of thousands of loyal ministers dared not resist. If you don't forgive the river, Fang La will be redeemed, or it will be enough to calm the chaos in the southeast. " The most detailed account in the Biography of Zhang Shuye in the History of Song Dynasty is: "Song Jiang started his army from Xinhe and turned to ten counties, but the loyalists didn't dare to look. Here comes the word. Uncle Ye wants it from the interviewer. Thieves went to sea, robbed more than ten giant ships and carried brine. So he raised thousands of dead people, ambushed near the city and went out to fight at sea. Hide by the sea and wait for the soldiers to meet and set fire to the ship. Thieves smell it and have no will to fight. The ambush took it, the bird was its deputy thief, and Jiang nai surrendered. " According to the History of Song Dynasty, the time of Sung River Uprising was from the first year of Xuanhe to the third year of Xuanhe. The uprising mainly involved Taihang Mountain area, Shandong Province and northern Jiangsu, and "crossing the river and turning to ten counties". The leader of the uprising was Song Jiang. Uprising has the nature of hooliganism and does not necessarily have a fixed base. The end of the uprising was to surrender after a serious setback. Although the scale of the uprising is not too large, its fighting capacity is particularly strong. "Tens of thousands of loyal ministers dare not confront them." The influence of the uprising is not small. Shuihu, the center of the uprising, is only about 100 km away from the capital Tokyo, which seriously threatens Beijing's security. The areas involved in the uprising were relatively developed in the Northern Song Dynasty. Shuihu was a lake in the middle reaches of Guangji River during the reign of Xuanhe, and the upper reaches of Guangji River flowed out of Bianliang City, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. Guangji River is also an important waterway of JD.COM, occupying the water edge of the middle reaches of Guangji River. The political, economic and military prestige of the Northern Song Dynasty imperial court can be imagined. The story of Sung River Uprising can be recorded in the history of Song Dynasty and widely circulated among the people, which shows its influence.

Bao Guoan Song Jiang (1 1) What did Song Jiang do after he accepted the harness? On this issue, there is a great debate among historians, mainly focusing on whether Song Jiang went to levy Fang La. The Fang La Uprising was a peasant uprising that happened almost at the same time as the Sung River Uprising, which was much larger in scale and had much greater influence. After Song Jiang surrendered, he was sent by Song Dynasty to suppress Fang La, which is clearly recorded in the history books. For example, Li Tao's Long History and History as a Mirror, Yang Zhongliang's Long History and History as a Mirror, the compilation of Northern League in the Three Dynasties, and the Outline of Emperor Song in the Ten Dynasties all clearly recorded that after Song Jiang surrendered, he took officers and men to suppress the Fang La uprising, and Song Jiang changed from a peasant uprising leader to an executioner who slaughtered peasant uprisings. However, in 1939, the epitaph of General Gu Wu Yi and General Hedong in the Song Dynasty was unearthed, which is known to historians. It is clearly recorded in the epitaph that Song Jiang did not go to Fang La, and Fang La was arrested after his victory. So some people think that after Fang La Uprising was suppressed by Tong Guan, it turned against Song again. In the fourth year of Xuanhe (1 122), the uprising was finally suppressed by the soldiers who could be saved, and Song Jiang was also killed. Both of them are historical materials, which is true or false, and the historians are arguing endlessly. But two things are certain: Song Jiang only had a little over a year from the uprising to the final failure; He died shortly after the failure of the uprising. According to the folklore of Haizhou, Sung River did not surrender to Zhang Shuye. Thirty-six Liangshan heroes, including Song Jiang, were killed by Zhang Shuye and buried under the White Tiger Mountain. This is the legendary "hero" handed down from generation to generation. There is also a poem circulating among the people: the white gecko is in the shade of the tree, and the vegetation in front of the grave is lush. Ask whose grave it is, Liangshan hero. However, according to a poem by Li Ruoshui, an American scholar discovered by Ma Tailai at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, "Last year, Song Jiang set out for Shandong and invaded the battlefield by day. Killing people and mowing grass one after another, I heard it badly nine times. Big book and yellow paper flew in, and 36 people paid homage to each other. The ugly and fat man is arrogant, and the ladies and gentlemen are still surprised. This year, Jiang Yang set out from Hebei, and the rules of war were ahead of schedule. Oh, my God, I'm sorry, but I hope the regime will quit soon. I heard that the official position should be with Germany, but it is wrong to accuse Cao Wu. It is not the best policy to surrender the situation, and politics lures potential fierce heirs to abuse their power. Why don't you send a letter to the ministries and agencies, and he will come back to keep the appointment. I can't fight against Gao Tian, so I'm relieved to be crazy about the temple. " Li Ruoshui wrote this poem in the second year after Song Jiang surrendered, when Fang La was also killed. As can be seen from the poem, thirty-six people of Sung River really surrendered to Zhang Shuye, and they were all sealed off, which was still a quite sensational event at that time.

Sung River Uprising (1111121)

Since the founding of Zhao Kuangyin in the Song Dynasty, Song Jiang has been in the CCTV version of Water Margin.

The policy of putting up with humiliation at home and focusing on defense at home has always been held. Political power, financial power and military power were highly concentrated in the central government, and feudal oppression was very severe. Especially in the late Northern Song Dynasty, due to the implementation of the above policies, land annexation was fierce and feudal exploitation was extremely cruel. Therefore, although industry and commerce were relatively developed at that time, people's livelihood was broader, social contradictions were still quite acute, and there were many peasant uprisings. After the war in Xixia during the Renzong period, there were countless small-scale peasant uprisings with dozens to hundreds of people. Sung river is in such a situation, raised the banner of justice. In December of the first year of Xuanhe in Song Huizong (119), 36 people rallied in the area north of the Yellow River under the jurisdiction of JD.COM East Road, aiming at cracking down on social injustice, killing the rich and helping the poor, resisting the cruel rule of the Northern Song Dynasty and causing panic among rulers. Shortly after the uprising, JD.COM East Road and Jingdong West Road were sentenced and arrested by Song Huizong Evonne. However, due to Song Jun's lack of training and long absence, his combat effectiveness is extremely poor; Because Song Jiang is "brilliant", all his 36 men are brave men and heroes. Therefore, instead of destroying the Sung River Rebel Army, this crackdown made it famous. In the following more than a year, Song Jiang and others did not enter Liangshan, Shui Bo for justice, as described in literary works such as Water Margin, but "ran across Wei Qi" and traveled thousands of miles to Luji. Sung Jiang led the troops to attack Heshuo (referring to the north and south areas in the lower reaches of the Yellow River today) and JD.COM East Road (governing Qingzhou, now Yidu, Shandong Province), fought between Qing, Qi (now Jinan, Shandong Province) and Zhou Pu (now Juancheng North, Shandong Province), captured more than ten counties and cities, punished corrupt officials, killed the rich and helped the poor, and gained momentum. In the siege of tens of thousands of loyalists, the insurgents attacked the city and plundered the land, and attacked flexibly. Although the number is small, it is like a steel knife, which makes the rulers smell it. "Loyalists dare not step forward" and become an influential peasant uprising team. Song Jiang in the New Edition of Water Margin

In the second year of Xuanhe (1 120), Song Jiangling led the troops to attack Jingxi and Hebei counties. When Song Huizong and Evonne heard about it, they adopted Hou Meng's strategy of "pardon and surrender" in Bozhou, and issued a decree to win over Hou Meng, but the matter went away. So Song Huizong ordered Zeng Xiaoyun, the secretariat of Zhangzhou, to lead an army to beg for it. Song Jiang avoided the battle and led his troops south from Qingzhou to Yizhou (now Linyi, Shandong), where he worked with loyalists for more than ten years. At the beginning of the third year of Xuanhe, he turned south to attack Yizhou (now Linyi), and the battle was very hard. As a result, because they were outnumbered, they were defeated by the magistrate Jiang Yuan. In February, the rebel army continued southward, attacking Huaiyang Army (now southwest of Pixian County, Jiangsu Province), then occupying Chuzhou (now Huai 'an, Jiangsu Province) and entering Haizhou (now southwest of Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province). In these fierce battles, Song Jiang gave full play to his intelligence and military ability, with decisive command, extraordinary strategy and flexible tactics. At the same time, as Chen Tai later said in the Preface to the Legacy of Suoan in Yuan Dynasty, "Song was a brave and arrogant man". Song Jiang was also very brave in fighting, taking the lead in killing the enemy and playing down a peg or two, which made some court officials have to admit his bravery and resourcefulness. In the same month, Fang La, the leader of the peasant uprising in Zhejiang, led the rebels to attack Zhenzhou and Xiuzhou (both in Zhejiang), and the offensive was sharp, which frightened the Northern Song Dynasty. In order to disintegrate and suppress these two peasant insurgents, Hou Meng of Bozhou wrote to Song Huizong, saying: "Song Jiang, with 36 men, ran past Heshuo, JD.COM and tens of thousands of loyalists, and no one dared to resist. It can be seen that his talents must be more than ordinary people. It is better to forgive and surrender, let him lead the troops to ask Fang La to redeem him, and perhaps to quell the rebellion in the southeast. " Song Huizong appreciated this idea very much, and immediately wrote a letter to Zhang Shuye, who had just been appointed as the magistrate of Haizhou, asking him to try to own Song Jiang. After Zhang Shuye arrived in Haizhou, the insurgents were preparing to attack the city. Song Jiang and Wu Jialiang, deputy commander of the rebel army, carefully analyzed the characteristics of Haizhou Binhai and the Yugoslav capital situation, and decided to break through the sea, so they took the seashore directly and seized more than 0 ships 10. However, all this was detected by detectives sent by Zhang Shuye. Zhang Shuye quickly recruited more than 1 1,000 death squads to ambush near the city; Then, send a small number of foot soldiers to the seaside to lure the war, and ambush the elite soldiers at the seaside at the same time. After the war between the two sides, the ambush swarmed and burned Song Jiang's ships. Although Song Jiang led the troops bravely and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy, he was a little flustered when he saw the fire on the ship and his retreat was broken. At this time, Zhang Shuye 56-point thrashing, captured Wu Jialiang alive. Song Jiang was surrounded by heavy troops, and he was in pain, so he had to lead his troops to accept it.

After Song Jiang's death, his influence gradually expanded. With the widespread spread of the story of the Song Dynasty, especially the Water Margin, after the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Jiang and Liangshan Heroes won people's respect and love, and the descriptions in some literary works were praised as historical facts. Up to now, there are still many historical sites handed down from ancient times around Liangshan, such as Songjiangzhai, Hero Well and Darkmouth on the main peak, and SongMa Jiang Road at the foot of the mountain.
