According to the historical records, "Song Jiang, a thief from Huainan, committed the Huai Yang army, sent his generals to beg for arrest, commit crimes, enter the border between Chu and Haizhou, and ordered Zhang Shuye to surrender." There are only thirty-six Liangshan heroes in history, including Song Jiang, and the other seventy-two are all added by Shi Naian.
Song Jiang, male, from Songjia Village, Shuibao Township, Yuncheng County, Shandong Province, is the historical prototype of Song Jiang in Shi Naian's novel Water Margin. 1 1 19, Song Jiang led a peasant uprising, but the scale was much smaller than that of Fang La uprising in the same period.
At the beginning of A.D. 1 12 1, Song Jiang led the rebels into Jiangsu and was ambushed by Zhang Shuye. Although Song Jiang led the troops to fight bravely, he dealt a heavy blow to the enemy. But facing the tight encirclement, the ship caught fire and the retreat was broken. He surrendered to Zhang Shuye and accepted the harness.
Song Jiang's personality characteristics:
First, generous in aiding needy people:
When Chai entered the palace, Song Jiang not only ignored Song Wu's rudeness to himself, but also led Song Wu to drink in one place every day. When he left, Song Jiang and Song Wu became brothers and gave Song Wu a piece of silver. This shows that Song Jiang is honest and won't haggle with others.
Second, love and hate are clear:
Song Jiang first appeared when Classical hadn't arrived at the water margin. The first thing he did was "kill Yan Poxi angrily". He forgot to bring his briefcase, because he wanted to give some money to the princes who sold soup and medicine, so he went back to get it, only to find that the old woman was reluctant to take it. Shiva not only refused to give it, but also said that Song Jiang would give her the gold inside. So Song Jiang killed the old woman in a rage.
Third, be ambitious:
After Song Jiang killed Yan Poxi, he fled to the Jianghu. After the Qingfeng Village incident, he wanted to join Liang Wang with Huarong, Yan Shun and Wang Ying. In the end, he was cheated by a letter from Song Taigong, and was arrested by the government at night and sent to Jiangzhou.
