First of all, many of the 100 singles were covered in bad records before joining the team, and they were definitely not heroes. In addition to Lu and Shi Jin, they are more like people in a vegetable garden. Zhu Gui in a dry field suddenly opened a joint shop, and the boat angered passers-by on the river, fleas on the drums moved to steal graves, and rats and hooligans in Bai Shengli during the day. Maybe they changed their ways after joining the Water Margin, but that can't erase their previous bad behavior.
Secondly, in order to attract some heroes to join in, Liang Shanbo does whatever it takes. When Liangshan attacked Qingzhou, it was blocked by Qin Ming. In order to drag Qin Ming into Liangshan, after his arrest, Qin Ming said that he would not force him to join, but secretly sent someone to pretend to be Qin Ming, burning and looting innocent people, making Qingzhou magistrate mistakenly think that Qin Ming had surrendered and killed his loved ones, which caused Qin Ming and the government to cut off Qin Ming's back road. Liangshan vowed to avenge Qin Ming, and finally got Qin Ming to join. Then, in order to win over Yu Qilin Lu Junyi, Wu Yong was sent to spread rumors and confuse people, and wrote such a poem:
Accusing Lu Junyi's housekeeper on trumped-up charges of rebellion led to Lu Junyi's imprisonment, and then Liangshan hero appeared in the name of saving people to rescue Lu Junyi and help him with the housekeeper. Finally, Lu Junyi and Yan Xiaoyi, who had nothing, had no choice but to join the Water Margin. There are many similar means to attract people to join. Can these means be done by heroes? Are those who do these things worthy of the title of heroes?
Finally, the distribution of wealth, grain and grass sources in Water Margin. Before outwitting the birth control plan, Chao Tianwang said that the birth control plan is used to help the poor, and it is an ill-gotten wealth plundered from squeezing people's money and cream. Therefore, whether the family planning was used to help the people, as Chao Tianwang said, is obvious, but it is not. According to the description in the novel, all seven of them were given classes, and some were given to Song Jiang who spared them. Every time the Water Margin breaks the city, it looks like a heroic move, but it is not. It's just their usual means to appease the people and seek fame and fortune. A large number of people's ointment, which was searched by local officials, finally entered Liangshan's inventory.
"Eat a lot of wine and meat, and divide gold and silver by big scales" is the slogan that people in Liangshanpo often shout. In the political environment at that time, it was meaningful for them to openly confront the imperial court. Perhaps it is because of this significance that they have become heroes in people's mouths, but in essence, they are still a group of fugitives.
There is no denying that there are admirable heroes in Liangshan, but among the 100 single generals, there are more people of all colors, and their affairs are no longer redundant. If you ask me if Liangshan heroes are really heroes, I don't think so!
