First, Song Jiang has always had a dream of getting ahead. Song Jiangben is just a petty official in Yuncheng County. His father, including his brother, is a farmer and has no backer. In the Northern Song Dynasty, which attached great importance to diplomas, it was almost impossible for Song Jiang to be a petty official, but Song Jiang had ambition to be a petty official, but Song Jiang knew that he could only be a petty official all his life.
So sung river is not good at work. He moved his work place to a restaurant and expanded his influence by making friends with various social practice activities. No matter who he offended, no matter who he pleased, he used his power to get a lot of income beyond his normal income. Just like Song Jiang tipped off Classical, Classical sent a lot of money when he fled. Although Song Jiang only took a gold bar, he didn't dare to take it because the case was too influential.
However, it can be analyzed that the income other than the normal income obtained by Song Jiang in other aspects is the main source of income for Song Jiang. But Song Jiang's income from operating these powers is not only to run his own small family, but to help people who need money in society, and these people don't need a lot of money. Therefore, Song Jiang won the title of "Timely Rain" in the Jianghu.
The purpose of Song Jiang's doing this is obvious, that is, he dreams of being discovered by senior officials, preferably the emperor, through his influence in society or rivers and lakes, and finding another way to get a promotion opportunity in an era of valuing literature over martial arts. So, wherever Song Jiang went, money made the way, but the money he gave was no more than 12, such as Li Kui jy and Song Wu, but at the critical moment, he could spend a lot of money, such as the emperor's favorite mistress Li Shishi (this was later). This fully shows that Song Jiang's so-called "timely rain" title is to expand his influence, so as to get the attention of the upper level, preferably the emperor, and thus get ahead.
The second is to win over and divide people's hearts and quickly become the core of Liangshan. Song Jiang's performance in the water margin is neither literary nor martial arts, because his style of writing is not outstanding, martial arts is not good, and his appearance is not as good as that of others, but he will say that he will win people's hearts through money and the realization of other people's hobbies. The nickname "Timely Rain" is a great means for him to win people's hearts. Besides money, it is also a great means for him to satisfy other people's hobbies, such as Wang Ying's lust.
In addition, Song Jiang's differentiation method is also very clever. Wu Yong, a strategist in Liangshan, is the most effective core figure under Classical, but Song Jiang reused Wu Yong by various means, making Wu Yong gradually used by him. In this way, Classical, the boss of Liangshan, became an empty shelf, while others under Classical had no strategy and were not afraid. It was through various means that Song Jiang won and divided people's hearts and quickly became a Liangshan hero.
The third is to anger the classicism and finally sacrifice and remove the biggest stumbling block. No matter how influential Song Jiang is, no matter whether Song Jiang becomes the real core of Liangshan heroes or not, as long as Classical still exists, Song Jiang can't realize his dream of wooing him, because Classical is in the first place, and Classical is firmly opposed to wooing him. No hero dares to kill him from Classical.
Therefore, if Song Jiang wants to realize his dream of wooing Ann, he must clear the biggest obstacle, Classical. So, at the beginning of Liangshan, Song Jiang led Liangshan heroes to attack some unimportant objects and made some achievements. Moreover, Song Jiang always volunteered to lead Liangshan heroes and recruited a group of heroes from them. As a leader, classicism is under considerable pressure.
Under this pressure, Chao Gai personally led an army of only 5,000 people, attacking Zengtou City with anger, and even Wu Yong, a strategist, did not follow. Of course, the preparation is not sufficient. Finally, Chao Gai was shot to death with an arrow, and even Jin Shengtan, a literary critic in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, thought it was Song Jiang's design. The death of Chao Gai cleared the biggest obstacle for Song Jiang to finally sit in the first place and realize his dream of courtship.
The fourth is to tamper with the classical heritage and successfully sit in the first place. After the death of Chao Gai, it was actually an obstacle for Song Jiang to sit in the first place, because Chao Gai made his last wish before he died: If anyone can catch me and shoot me, he will teach him to be the commander of the Water Margin! This clearly shows that Classical doesn't want Song Jiang to take his place, because Classical knows that it is impossible to catch Shi Wengong with Song Jiang's skill (in fact, Song Jiang may have been shot by Shi Wengong). Although Wu Yong, Lin Chong and others all knew Song Jiang, Song Jiang was invited to sit in the first place.
But Song Jiang knew that if he really wanted to take the top spot, it would be unstable. Therefore, he crustily skin of head went to Zengtou City to play. Although other heroes knew it well, they never caught Shi Wengong. In the end, he was caught by Lu Junyi who just went to Liangshan for some reason.
Although Song Jiang hypocritically asked Lu Junyi to sit in the first place, Lu Junyi certainly understood the intention. He doesn't want to be the second Wang Lun and Classical, he wants to be the first. But sung river has no other reason to sit in the first place. With the help of Wu Yong, he even drew lots to let Song Jiang and Lu Junyi lead troops to attack Dongping and Dongchang respectively. Lu Junyi naturally understood at this time, and let Song Jiangxian capture Dongping.
The fifth is to recruit a large number of generals and expand the recruitment base. Even Song Jiang, who sits in the first place, still has great difficulties in realizing his dream of courtship, because at this time, the main body of Liangshan heroes is still the lowest people who are cornered, and most of them are firmly opposed to the court. It's too early for courtship.
So, in later actions, Sung River never recruited Jianghu people again, but the court surrendered and reused them. In this way, those farmers from Liangshan were used, and their voices became smaller and smaller. Even if they object, they are not the majority, and the voice of wooing them is getting louder and louder. Moreover, Song Jiang gave courtesy to the court officers and soldiers who were captured alive, including Tong Guan and Gao Qiu, the sworn enemies of Liangshan heroes.
The sixth is to change doors and publicize ideas. After Song Jiang took the first place, the first thing he did was to change his surname quickly, change "Juyitang" into "Zhongyitang" and hang the banner of "doing good for heaven". In fact, it completely changed the anti-imperial thinking in the past and spread the idea of suing the court from top to bottom. Although they still talk about anti-corruption, the biggest corrupt officials, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu, not only don't kill, but also curry favor with them. Song Jiang looks ugly.
Although Tong Guan and Gao Qiu repeatedly destroyed the kindness of wooing, although they were obstructed by many Liangshan heroes with practical actions, Song Jiang's wooing thought became more and more firm. Even at the expense of many Liangshan heroes (in this case, those who have no names), he didn't care at all, and realized it personally with money through the emperor's mistress Li Shishi. Moreover, the emperor understood that the fundamental reason for expanding his influence was to win over and win over his ancestors.
Seventh, resolutely crack down on heroes who oppose wooing. Although Song Jiang used Wu Yong and Dai Zhong's idea of propaganda and wooing on various occasions, there were still some Liangshan heroes who resolutely opposed wooing, including jy, Ruan Sanxiong, Lu, Zhu Wu, Yang Chun and Duan. Of course, most of their heroes are against it, including Li Jun, Tong Wei and Meng Tong, as well as Gongsun Sheng and Fan Rui.
Although he was Song Jiang's confidant, when Li Kui jy opposed wooing him, Song Jiang beheaded him without hesitation. At this time, the so-called brotherhood, the so-called benevolence and righteousness that we saw in Song Jiang were all gone. His heart is only courtship, and no one dares to stop courtship, no matter who he is. This is also the fundamental reason why many Liangshan heroes don't want to follow Song Jiang as an official even if they survive after conquering Fang La, because they understand more and more that they have actually become Song Jiang to achieve personal win-over.
But Song Jiang's dream of holding Liangshan heroes hostage has finally come true, but when he dyed his job with the blood of Liangshan heroes, he was finally killed by Tong Guan and Gao Qiu. Even Li Kui jy, Wu Yong and Huarong were taken away before he woke up, which was really stubborn.
