Countless book fans sighed that if they didn’t study "Water Margin" several times, they wouldn’t have understood "Water Margin".

So, is it Song Jiang, the real murderer who shot Chao Gai? This question may be controversial forever.

Although Chen Cong's reasoning and analysis are very convincing, after all, it is just reasoning and analysis. Even if the possibility reaches more than 90%, there will still be some controversy.

And Song Jiang can undoubtedly be regarded as the most successful character in "Water Margin".

The story of "Water Margin" continues.

After Chao Gai's death, after some twists and turns, Song Jiang took the first seat in Liangshan.

Then, after many twists and turns, Yu Qilin Lu Junyi finally went to Liangshan.

Lu Junyi's confidant servant Yan Qing also followed Lu Junyi to Liangshan.

Afterwards, several stories with Yan Qing and Li Kui as the protagonists, "Black Tornado Qiao Catching Ghosts", "Liang Shanbo's Double Heads", "Yan Qing Fighting", etc., were extremely satisfying for book fans.

The popularity of Liangshan is getting stronger and stronger. People with distinctive characters such as Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo, Chai Jin, Hua Rong, Zhu Tong, Dai Zong, Shi Xiu have also joined Liangshan.

In the end, the number of hero leaders in Liangshan reached 108, and Liangshan's momentum reached its peak.

Later, the main office of Liangshan was changed from "Juyi Hall" to "Zhongyi Hall", and the banner of "advocating the way for heaven".

One hundred and eight heroes have been scheduled, with the rankings of "thirty-six Heavenly Gangs and seventy-two Earthly Ghosts".

Song Jiang corresponds to Tiankuixing and sits in the first seat.

Lu Junyi corresponds to Tiangang Star and sits in the second seat.

Wu Yong corresponds to Tianjixing and sits in the third seat.

Afterwards, the main characters familiar to book fans are:

Gongsun Sheng corresponds to Tianxianxing and sits in the fourth seat.

Lin Chong corresponds to Tianxiongxing and sits in the sixth seat.

Lu Zhishen corresponds to Tianguxing and sits in the thirteenth chair.

Wu Song corresponds to the Tianshenxing Star and sits in the 14th chair.

Yang Zhi corresponds to Tiananxing and sits on the seventeenth chair.

Li Kui corresponds to Tianshaxing and sits in the 22nd seat.

Shi Jin corresponds to Tianweixing and sits in the 23rd seat.

Yan Qing corresponds to Tian Qiaoxing and sits on the 36th chair.

...

The serialization continued, and the rebel army led by Liang Sheng and the heroes became more and more brave, and their morale became higher and higher. The exciting plot was always continuous, making book fans dazzled.

However, when the story reaches the end, it is becoming more and more sad and regretful.

Faced with the situation where the Liangshan rebel army became more and more brave as they fought, the court changed its strategy and sent people to seek pacification.

Therefore, under the guidance of Song Jiang and others' compromise ideas, all Liangshan was recruited and reorganized into the Song Dynasty's army.

The Song Dynasty court adopted the strategy of "killing people with a knife" and ordered the heroes of Liangshan to go to conquer Liao and Fang La, and the heroes of Liangshan continued to fall.

Years of war have left only 20 to thirty heroes.

However, even these survivors have failed to escape the subsequent misfortunes.

Seeing that the heroes of Liangshan were alone, the Song Dynasty court attacked Song Jiang and others shortly after they were granted official positions and rewarded them.

Song Jiang and Lu Junyi were poisoned to death with imperial wine and mercury respectively.

Song Jiang drank the imperial wine and knew that he had been poisoned. Because he was afraid that Li Kui would gather in the mountains and forests again in order to avenge, he invited Li Kui to his place, so that Li Kui would drink poisoned wine without knowing it.

After Li Kui drank poisoned wine, Song Jiang told Li Kui the truth. Li Kui did not blame Song Jiang, but only said, "When he was alive, he was just a little devil under his brother when he died."

Later, Song Jiang and Li Kui died of poison.

Wu Yong and Hua Rong also hanged themselves in Liaoerwa.

The only one hundred and eight heroes who ended up having a good end were Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Gongsun Sheng, An Daoquan, Yan Qing, Li Jun, Chai Jin and others.

The vigorous Liangshan Uprising ended like this.

And the vigorous "Water Margin" ended here.

"Water Margin" has been completed, but all the book fans are unable to calm down for a long time.

Since Song Jiang accepted the court's revenge, book fans' moods when reading "Water Margin" were different from before.

Seeing the heroes of Liangshan, one after another, book fans always felt a sense of depression in their hearts and it was difficult to release them.

Who ruined Liangshan’s great foundation? Who made the heroes of Liangshan fall one after another?

Is it Song Jiang?

Yes, not.

Judging from the story itself alone, Song Jiang's acceptance of the imperial court was the beginning of ruining Liangshan's great foundation.

But among the heroes of Liangshan, it was not just Song Jiang who supported the recruitment, but also Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng, Shi Jin, Qin Ming and others who supported the recruitment.

The decision to accept the recruitment was not made by Song Jiang alone.

Therefore, the blame cannot be put on Song Jiang alone.

In addition, see the essence through the story.

The reason why Song Jiang accepted the amnesty was mainly related to the social atmosphere at that time.

At that time, society promoted the "three pillars", namely "the king is the minister's principles", "the father is the son's principles", and "the husband is the wife's principles", and Song Jiang was the product of this idea.

Song Jiang had no choice but to go to Liangshan. If it were not forcing him to be forced by the form, Song Jiang would definitely not go to Liangshan. Instead, he would be a good official and stand out in order to honor his ancestors.

He has always called the emperor of the Song Dynasty the "Sage", which shows that in his concept, the "Son of Heaven" is sacred and inviolable.

He has always believed that cooperation with rulers is the "right way".

Therefore, Song Jiang was so enthusiastic and eager to accept the invitation. This is the limitation of Song Jiang's thoughts and the internal historical reason for the failure of the uprising revealed by the entire work.

People with this kind of ideological limitations are not just Song Jiang, but the other major leaders of Liangshan, Lu Junyi, Wu Yong and others, also have this kind of ideological limitations.

Therefore, the limitations of the leader's thoughts are the main reason for the failure of the Liangshan Uprising.

Countless book fans are very sorry for the ending of "Water Margin", and emotionally speaking, they cannot accept it.

They could not accept the continuous fall of Liang Sheng heroes, and could not accept the Liangshan leaders represented by Song Jiang, who were eager to be recruited, who ruined the vigorous uprising event, causing the heroes to die one by one.

But they also knew that the failure of the Liangshan Uprising was a historical necessity, and it could not be caused by a certain person's decision.

However, what book fans cannot accept is not the failure of the uprising, but the heroes who have been constantly dying in battle, and few people can end up in a good life.

So, is it possible to change the way to fail?

The heroes gathered together and parted ways, but they were eventually forced to leave Liangshan for various reasons.

In this way, the uprising failed, and the heroes did not have to die in battle.

Many book fans are thinking about this problem in their minds.

However, they also knew that since Li Fan had written such an ending, there must be a reason to write like this.

It's just that they can't see through it for the time being.

But no matter what, the vigorous "Water Margin" has ended, and the ending is not beautiful in the eyes of book fans.
