Intelligence:
Although the birth class was finally taken away, it can be seen from the arrangements made by Yang Zhi in the process of escort that he is actually very clever.
Quick success and instant benefit, rude and outrageous:
It is this character that makes his soldiers "lightly scold and beat vines" and intensifies the internal contradictions of the transport team. "Fortress is the easiest to break from the inside", coupled with infighting, failure is inevitable.
note:
As can be seen from the full text of Water Margin, Yang Zhi is a very cautious person, even a little too cautious.
The birth class was finally taken away. Does this mean that Yang Zhi is a very stupid person? In fact, combined with other chapters describing Yang Zhi in Water Margin, we can see that Yang Zhi is a smart and capable person. Yang Zhijiu is in the Jianghu and knows the danger of escorting birth procedures. As soon as he accepted the task, he evaded it again and again. Unable to refuse, he made careful arrangements: first, he asked to pretend to be an ordinary merchant guest and move on quietly. Later, he asked Liang Zhongshu to give himself all the power. Later, on the road, the travel time was changed according to different terrain. At first, we took advantage of the cool weather to travel Later, we went to a mountain road with few people and pedestrians. For safety reasons, we travel in hot weather and are not allowed to rest in the pine forest in Huangnigang. Later, the soldiers wanted to buy wine to drink, but they tried every means to stop it. All this reflects Yang Zhi's shrewdness. Then, since Yang Zhi was so careful, why did he finally fail? On the one hand, it is of course necessary to highlight Wu Yong's exquisite and impeccable tactics, but the main reason is the other side of his personality: quick success and instant benefit, rudeness and arrogance. It is this character that makes his soldiers "lightly scold and beat vines" and intensifies the internal contradictions of the transport team. "Fortress is the easiest to break from the inside", coupled with infighting, failure is inevitable.
Yang Zhi's life experience in Water Margin is particular.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Yang Zhizeng, the general of Xiliang Army, and Tong Guan cut Liao, and the sergeant commanded and led the selection of the former army. Jing Kang Xiao Ya said that he was originally a "giant robber". Later, together with the breeder, he helped Taiyuan, fought with Jin Jun, and fled without fighting in Yuci, resulting in the death of the breeder.
In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Zhong, a Shandong thief, was called "the painted beast", and all his followers wore white felt hats. When Yang Zhi appeared in Water Margin, he wore a john young felt hat, nicknamed "Blue Beast", or mixed his image.
During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Yang Zhi was one of the 36 leaders under Sung River. At the same time, in Gong Kai's "Song Jiang Thirty-six Praises", Yang Zhi is also among them, praising it as "the sage rules the world, and the four spirits are in the suburbs. What's your name? Go and work hard. " These two literary works are regarded as the embryonic form or blueprint of Water Margin.
Some researchers believe that Yang Zhi's depiction combines the legendary image of Yang Jiajiang since the Song Dynasty. According to folklore, Yang Jiajiang was repeatedly persecuted by traitors, but he never changed his mind of serving his country. Although Yang Zhi in Water Margin could not serve the country and was forced to become an outlaw, he still expected to "seal his wife and children with one gun and one knife" in the court. As soon as he appeared, he showed a tragic image of a hapless and dead hero, which was closely related to the tragic connotation of Yang Jiajiang's loyal service to the country and treacherous slanders.
Evaluation of Yang Zhi's Characters in Water Margin
Primitive hymn
Hua Shigang is tired of being the envoy of Beijing. Rainbow makes bullfighting cold. Knives can defend the universe, bows can subvert the world.
A tiger with a waist like a wolf and an ape with healthy arms sat on a carved saddle and straddled a dragon pony. The price of heroes is all Liangshan. People call it the blue-faced beast, and Yang Zhi is an army squad.
Celebrity review
Yu Xiangdou: (1) Yang Zhi was kicked out by Gao Qiu, but not at this time. (2) Yang Zhi killed Niu Er and stood out from the crowd, so a real gentleman can kill people. (3) Yang Zhi is well dressed, but his background has changed, and Gongsun Sheng has many tricks. If he doesn't act as a prophet, he must run away. After all, he was robbed, why not quit the disaster of getting old?
(4) Watching Yang Zhi beat all the troops badly is the reason to distract everyone and get into trouble. ⑤ Yang Zhi not only fought the whole army, but also ate wine himself. This is a mistake, and it is not far from knowing.
Li Zhuowu: ① Yang Zhi is a national civil servant. It is because Gao Qiu can't use him that he is used by Song Gongming. It can be seen that the villain is jealous of talents and the country is not small. (2) Yang Zhi is a brave husband, how to help others! Only by thinking of these fourteen people can we discuss things. We can do whatever we want and live wherever we want. Hit people blindly, naturally. Although you are wise and brave, you can't jump out of the trap of these seven people. Make a fool of yourself, fool, fool! (3) He and Yang Zhi are two generals, but they didn't have eyes for those people at that time, which made him helpless.
Jin Shengtan: ① Yang Zhi and Guan Sheng are superior figures. Yang Zhi wrote letters to the children in his hometown, while Guan Sheng wrote letters to them in disguise. (2) Lu evil dragon, another evil dragon. Two dragons live in the same water and live together. The author is well aware, so he wrote about Kansai people in advance, especially in the background of the above two people, hoping that they have feelings for the countryside. (3) Since this fellow is like this, he should be stripped of his official position, and he should still be called "controlling" and "governing". So much so, Lu Da is the front horse of the frontier fortress court, and as for the green forest, it is not his own green forest.
Wang: (1) The green-faced beast refused to leave the grass behind the gate. He took back the gold and silk from the tiger's mouth, bribed Gao Qiu, and rebuilt the envoy. It was strange and strange, but he ran out of money and had to sell the knife. There is not a confidant in Bianjing City. Niu Er loves it, admires it and considers cheating it. He was very angry and didn't know that he killed people by selling people. Husband has no ambition, is depressed and bored, and has grievances in his chest. A gentleman must feel sorry for his poverty. (2) Yang Zhi killed Niu Er. In order to get rid of this sharp sword for Tianhan Bridge, he surrendered himself and did not love the people. Sewing a famous name, he met Liang Zhongshu Shijie and was included in an exceptional way. Zhou Jin avoided the house, so he joined hands with Suochao. Scholars bow to their confidants, but extend to them. When the martial arts school arrived at the foot of Tianhan Bridge, it was suddenly honored and humiliated, and it was a great loss of ambition and made many achievements. (3) Liang Zhongshu hundreds of treasures, looking for green beast, hope its all one's strength to repay. My husband, Yang Zhijie, defected to Lu Er, and Dong Guo turned against Wu. Being known by Shi Guo, he dared not report the experiences of ordinary people. Knowing that the world was not peaceful, he refused to go and had to go.
To treat the capital once, wait for two dangers, only to steal and humiliate one's own life. Before, Hua Shigang lost Gao Taiwei, but now he lost Liang Zhongshu's birth outline. Sadly, what happened to Yang Zhi.
Chenchen: (1) Yang Zhi drowned all his life, but he capsized his boat and loaded it with gold and silver, which was criticized by Gao Qiu. He didn't sell precious knives without travelling expenses, but Niu Erman took him away. Liang Zhongshu sent him to a birthday class and was robbed: he can be called a scholar in the water margin! (2) Yang Zhidang, born after the robbery, should go to Liangshan. Former Wang Lunqin stayed late. Why did he go to Erlong Mountain? Naian has his own meaning. Wang Lun's admiration for the left-behind people is to suppress Lin Chong. When Yang Zhi went up the mountain, Wang Lun had a confidant. Lin Chong and Yang Zhi are rivals. How can they be big and contradictory? Even if you have a plan, how can you get along well with your enemies such as Classical? Therefore, my aunt scattered the land, so all the classical people also, so all Yang Zhi also.
Zhang Henshui: If Yang Zhi is your father's grandson after the fifth and third generations, and he becomes an envoy before the temple again, he is willing to keep an innocent body, take care of what he once lost, and even collect a cart of gold and silver to be incarnated at Gao Qiu's door. What's more, he bowed to serve Cai Jing's son-in-law, and he was diligent in the morning and evening, at your disposal? You can't get a wife unless you are afraid of burying your skills. Hey! The system is wrong. Thieves of ancient and modern times are not limited to those who drill holes to steal walls and rob homes. Steal with food, steal with powder, steal with clothes and steal. Yang Tu knew that he would become an outlaw and defile the innocent body, but he did not know that he would defile the innocent body again at the door of rape. "The Water Margin" searched for money during the journey, while the famous Liang Zhongshu searched for money among the people. Why is it different? Yushui Lake didn't want to live once, but wiped the stolen goods of Liang Zhongshu's 100,000 Kim beads all over the floor and escorted them to Tokyo. The gate of power in Hebei was known by your ancestors in Jiuquan, and you may not be ashamed of it.
