The only person in Liangshan who is not called a "hero"! Why was Wang Lun killed?
The only person in Liangshan who is not called a "hero"! Why was Wang Lun killed? I will give you a detailed introduction below, and then read on~
" In "Water Margin", the "Liangshan Group" is the main body of the story. The members of the "Liangshan Group" are collectively referred to as "heroes". At that time, there were actually many gangsters, villains and scoundrels among them, but what? In In the turbid environment at that time, it was always valuable to have a spirit of resistance. Therefore, readers usually have admiration for the "Liangshan Group", or at least a sympathetic attitude.
However, except for one person, this person is very special among the "Liangshan Group". This person had a miserable end, but few readers sympathized with him. On the contrary, his death was very popular. This person is the leader of Liangshan. Wang Lun, the leader, should be the only person in the Liangshan Group who is not called a "hero".
In the Liangshan Group where "good guys gather together", Wang Lun is an absolute alternative. From this perspective, he belongs to the "Shame of Liangshan".
What was the cause of Wang Lun's death? It is usually believed that the root cause was jealousy of talents and talents, which eventually angered Coach Lin and was slaughtered. But from another perspective, there has been no shortage of people who are jealous of talents and talents since ancient times. To be honest, Wang Lun was also It’s not that he did too badly, he just didn’t cooperate with people who were stronger than him, he wanted to live a good life and keep his position, and sent Chao Gai and his gang out of the country as gifts, without intending to do anything evil to them. This kind of person Although it is "disgusting", it does not seem to be a treacherous person. He just has a "petty citizen mentality". This kind of person must have no future, but he is not so miserable...
So, what was the root cause of Wang Lun’s death? It was his stupidity!
Why do you say that? Let’s take a look at what Lin Chong said before killing Wang Lun: " You are a poor scholar from the countryside, but you are here thanks to the support of officials like Chai, and the gifts of money, friendship, and recommendation of me. Many heroes have come to meet you today, and they want to make a fortune. Pay him to go down the mountain. This Liangshan Po is yours! You are a jealous thief. If I don't kill you, what's the use of you! You don't have a lot of talents, and you can't be the master of the village!" - "Water Margin" Chapter 10 Nine times.
Lin Chong said directly: Wang Lun cannot be the master of the cottage.
Why? Let’s talk about where Liangshan is? When he was chased by the officers and soldiers after outsmarting the birthday card, Wu Yong suggested that everyone flee to Liangshanbo. He said this: ...The village in Liangshanbo is so prosperous that the officers and soldiers Catching a thief doesn't dare to look at him.
This place is a "feng shui treasure land", and the local government is unable to suppress it. Naturally, in the chaotic period of the late Northern Song Dynasty, all kinds of heroes naturally focused on this place, so this place is a "fertile land". Meat", but what? Unfortunately, this place is occupied by Wang Lun.
Does Wang Lun have the ability to lead Liangshan? Everyone knows, of course not! So, as the old saying goes - if virtue is not matched, there will be disaster. The position of Lord of Liangshan will eventually fall into the hands of a person who is convinced by "people in the world". Only in this way will the society in the world be stable. Chao Gai is naturally qualified for this person, and Song Jiang is also qualified. They all have it. He has great prestige in the world, but Wang Lun is obviously not good enough.
Wang Lun knew this. As early as when he took Lin Chong in, Wang Lun was a little wary. He thought to himself: "I am an underachieving scholar. Because of my bird spirit, I co-authored Du I moved here and fell into the grass. Later, Song Wan came and gathered many people to accompany me. I am not very capable, and Du Qian and Song Wan are only average in martial arts. Now I don't want to add this person. He is the instructor of the imperial army, so he must be good at martial arts. He has seen through our tricks, and he needs to gain strength. How can we face the enemy? If he is just a monster, we can avoid the accident and let him go down the mountain to avoid future troubles. It's just that Chai Jin doesn't look good on the face, and he has forgotten the past. Well, I can't care about him now." - Chapter 11 of "Water Margin".
This is Wang Lun's number one stupidity - the "ostrich tactic". He knows that his own strength is weak, Liangshan is coveted by others, and any external force will pose a strong threat to his position, but he still You try to close the door and not accept all outsiders, but the common man is not guilty of the crime. What you do will have no effect except arousing the strong anger and hostility of the heroes. If you come and fall into danger, it will be a knife. A person who licks blood will not give you anything "gentle, courteous and thrifty". If you don't give it, then I will take it!
What's worse is that he doesn't even think about Lin Chong who was sent to him by his benefactor Chai Jin. Taking them in (and finally taking them in under pressure), this also seriously violated the rules of the world. This is not just a "moral issue" of not taking in the victims, but a "rules issue" of ungratefulness. In this way, the "heroes" clean up When he was young, he no longer had even the most basic regard for "codes".
However, Wang Lun finally accepted Lin Chong. What was the fundamental reason for this? Because Lin Chong was recruited into the group by Chai Jin, the senior official of Chai Jin, and Chai Jin also brought letters, and Chai Jin Jin was benevolent to Wang Lun. Wang Lun's joining the gang in Shanzhai was all thanks to Chai Jin's financial support. It would not look good if he was not taken in.
However, Wang Lun then committed the "second stupidity" - "treating Lin Chong badly". He proposed almost insulting conditions to Lin Chong such as accepting a "letter of surrender", but in the end he still He failed to prevent Lin Chong from joining the gang, but Wang Lun gave Lin Chong the fourth position, behind himself, Du Qian and Song Wan, but higher than Zhu Gui.
God, who is Lin Chong? Wang Lun, Du Qian, and Song Wan together probably can't beat Lin Chong with one hand. You want to give him the fourth position? So, "Join the gang." This incident made Lin Chong very angry. At this time, Lin Chong was no longer a "system insider" who tolerated Gao Yanei in every possible way in Tokyo. He had already killed Lu Yuhou at this time, and there was no way out...
Originally, since you have accepted Lin Chong, Lin Chong should be your confidant and the pillar of Liangshan. However, you let him live such a miserable life in the village and suppressed him in every possible way. Do you feel that Lin Chong is treating you badly? What attitude would it be?
Of course, Lin Chong did not have an attack at first, because at this time, Lin Chong was weak after all, and a delicate balance was reached between the copycat "local faction" and Lin Chong. However, just now It is said that places like Liangshan have long been a resort with serious rivers and lakes. This kind of "balance" cannot be maintained for a long time, so once the balance is broken...
So, Chao Gai and his group went up the mountain. It was broken. How could Wang Lun have the courage to accept such a group of men? But what kind of person was Wu Yong? He could clearly see the problems within Liangshan at a glance. What was the result? This group of people hit it off with Lin Chong. Then Wang Lun is bound to die!
For Lin Chong, Chao Gai is naturally much better.
What is extremely ironic is that when rejecting Chao Gai and others' request to join the group, Wang Lun repeatedly said: I only hate our small village, which is just a puddle of water, how can we have many real dragons. Hey, since you know these people are "real dragons", you don't even think about what will happen if you offend them.
Wang Lun occupied assets that should not belong to him. He adopted "ostrich tactics" externally in an attempt to lock out some threats, but this was impossible; at the same time, within the Liangshan Group, , and he was always on guard, causing internal instability and accelerating his demise.
In "Water Margin", this is how Wang Lun's death was evaluated:
"It is shameful to have ambitions in Liangshan alone, but people who are jealous of the wise and arrogant will rarely be lenient.
Only the leader of the village is his own, but the heroes are enemies.
When the banquet is happy, people's heads fall when the cups and plates are heard.
It is really hateful to be narrow-minded. Don't spare the good ones."
There is no sympathy at all.
So, can Wang Lun have a better end? Of course, there are pieces of rice bags in the lounge in Liangshan. If he "performs well", how can he not have a bowl of rice? What?
If Wang Lun is clear about his position, he can naturally make the best choice. When Lin Chong takes the position, he should treat him with courtesy immediately and prepare to abdicate in favor of others. Of course, with Lin Chong's demeanor, Naturally, it was impossible to take this position, so he could immediately let Lin Chong be the second in command and entrust Liangshan with all the military power.
In this way, Lin Chong will naturally become Wang Lun's confidant. In this way, even if Wang Lun is still a little narrow-minded and unwilling to accept Chao Gai and his group in the future, Chao Gai and his group will not easily seize the mountain stronghold. After all, , Lin Chong is here.
Of course, this is not the best choice. The best choice is to accept it immediately when Chao Gai and others join the group and quickly give up. At this time, Chao Gai becomes the master of the cottage. Naturally, it should be taken for granted, but Wang Lun's treatment will definitely not be bad. Since ancient times, it has been a rule to give certain rewards to those who know the current affairs. If you pay tribute with courtesy, how can you lose your position as a prince?
Lu Junyi in the back was much smarter. After killing Shi Wengong, according to Chao Gai's will, he should have been the master of the village. But the situation in Liangshan at that time was that people from Song Jiang were on stage and off stage. Do you dare to be the boss? So Lu Junyi refused desperately, so he became the second person and no one had anything to say.
In this way, wouldn’t it be beautiful to have the country safe and the people happy?
So, what if Wang Lun only accepts it but does not give up power? There is no doubt that he will still not be able to control the highest power in Liangshan in the end. This is determined by the objective situation. Of course, the power transfer method will definitely be gentler.
