The Yang family general of the Water Margin, with no swords and arrows, but bad luck, died of illness and died alone, Yanmen Pass is located in the northwest region, and is an important frontier town. The heroic deeds of the Yang generals are widely praised here, and their heroic pride is admirable. Although the iron knights no longer roared and the beacon fire had subsided, the magnificent sight of the clouds could still be seen in the sky.
The story of Yang Jiajiang is widely circulated in the romance commentary, and its members such as Yang Gon, the king of volcanoes, Yang Jiye, the old Linggong, Qilang and Eight Tigers, Yang Zongbao, Yang Wenguang, Yang Huaiyu, etc., all have classic stories, and their descendants also appear in other stories.
For example, in "Saying Yue", there are Yang Zaixing's heroic deeds of fighting Yue Fei and fighting Xiaoshang River, and then Yang Jizhou Fei killed the mountain lion camel with a halberd, reproducing the heroic image. And in "Water Margin", Yang Zhi, the seventeenth blue-faced beast of Liangshan Tiangang Star, is also a descendant of the Yang general, his martial arts are strong, and he has three unique swords, guns and arrows, but he has a bad fate and has been unlucky all his life.
The story of Yang Zhi shows the heroic and indomitable spirit of Yang Jiajun, who has always maintained a firm belief and courage despite his difficult situation, which is worthy of our learning and admiration.
Yang Zhi, the grandson of the fifth marquis Yang Linggong, is a descendant of the orthodox Yang generals. His family has a long history and has inherited the three major skills of the Yang family: marksmanship, knife skills and wire routing copper hammer.
Among them, the marksmanship is made by Yang Gon fusing a variety of famous guns, and is known as the volcano king Yang Gon gun of Megatron; The knife law is the abandonment of the gun and rebuilding during the Yang Jiye period, which integrates the knife technique of the nine-eared and eight-ring gold-backed big knife, the famous general Lian Po of the Zhao State, the famous general Ma Wu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous general Guan Yu of the Three Kingdoms and the knife technique of She Taijun, which is powerful and domineering; The copper hammer is a stunt that Yang Gon learned from his father-in-law's flying hammer general Jin Liangzu, and it is the fifth generation of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, the Yang family general is also a master of riding and archery, and under the Golden Beach Alliance, Yang Dalang shot and killed King Tianqing Liang with one arrow.
Yang Zhi came from the Yang family, and his sword, gun and archery skills are outstanding. Legend has it that he was taught the Yang family's golden gun by his grandmother Mu Guiying, and may be a descendant of Yang Shilang, inheriting the Yang family's sword and gun skills.
Yang Shilang's martial arts should not be underestimated, and his sons Yang Zongfeng, Yang Zongxiao, and Yang Zongyuan's marksmanship was deeply influenced by the essence of the Yang family's gun, and they were more ruthless and decisive than Yang Zongbao.
In the world of "Water Margin", Yang Zhi's martial arts are even more outstanding. He fought Lin Chong with a simple knife in the rivers and lakes, and his knife skills were exquisite. When he was in the Daimyo's Mansion, he first competed with Zhou Jin for guns and then for arrows, and defeated his opponent again.
Subsequently, he held a muddy iron point steel gun and fought fiercely with Suo Chao for fifty rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. His battle with Lu Zhishen and Hu Yanzhuo also showed the strength of not losing to the Five Tigers. Therefore, Yang Zhi is known as the three unique swords, guns and arrows.
"Water Margin" has a very high evaluation of him and praises him"The sword can calm the universe, and the bow can fix the world", which is the highest evaluation in the Water Margin world. However, he seems to have struggled with mold all his life.
Yang Zhi was born in a famous family, excelled in martial arts, and wanted to make contributions to the frontier and win glory for his family. However, his fate was ill-fated and he suffered repeated setbacks. He once participated in the martial arts and became an envoy of the palace system, but when transporting Huashigang, he encountered wind and waves and capsized the ship, suffered heavy losses, and could only flee to other places for refuge, lamenting his fate was not good.
A few years later, the world granted amnesty, and he went to Tokyo with a load of money to seek reinstatement. As a person from the family of loyal martyrs, he had to keep his voice down and run around, and finally exhausted his belongings to get the paperwork and was able to meet the palace marshal Gao Taiwei.
Yang Zhi suffered a setback in the process of tracking down Hua Shigang, the documents were overturned by Gao Yu, and he was driven out of the capital. In desperation, he could only sell the ancestral treasure knife to make a living.
Jingshi's broken settlement is to find fault, and he has no money and has to buy Yang Zhi's knife. Although Yang Zhi doesn't take the splash skin in his eyes, Niu Er is a famous splash skin, and Kaifeng Mansion can't cure him.
Niu Er kept pestering to grab the knife, which made Yang Zhi very unhappy. In the end, Yang Zhi was angry in Niu Er's entanglement, slashed Niu Er with one knife, and stepped forward to slash him twice.
Although Niu Er is splashy, he is also a human life. Yang Zhi did not flee, but took the initiative to go to Kaifeng Mansion to surrender. Niu Er was regarded by the neighbors as a pest in Beijing, and everyone was willing to testify for Yang Zhi.
Fu Yin considered that the Niu Er family did not have a bitter master, so the sentence was lighter and changed it to accidentally injuring people's lives. Yang Zhi was finally beaten with twenty canes, tattooed two lines of gold seals on his face, and was sent to the Beijing Daimyo Mansion to stay in the Si Chong Army, and the treasure knife was also confiscated into the official treasury.
This time in Beijing, Yang Zhi not only failed to find a job, but left a crime, and what is even more tragic is that he was also tattooed with a gold seal.
In the Daimyo's Mansion, Yang Zhi had an unforgettable experience. Staying behind Liang Zhongshu was an old acquaintance with him, and he admired Yang Zhi very much, and even promoted him to be the envoy of the army, and asked him to escort 100,000 Guan Shengchengen to Tokyo.
The Birthday Gang was Liang Zhongshu's looted property, and he was to congratulate his father-in-law Cai Jing on his birthday. This kind of traitorous minister's property is desirable to everyone in the green forest, and Liang Zhongshu's property was robbed halfway last year, and no one has been arrested.
Therefore, this year, Liang Zhongshu sent Yang Zhi, who is strong in martial arts, to escort him, and also repaired a letter to protect him in front of Taishi Cai Jing. If Yang Zhi can catch Cai Jing's line, it will not be a problem to receive the Dao's order.
For this operation, Yang Zhi also prepared carefully, pretending to be more than ten burdens for the 100,000 Guan Shengchengang, and picking ten sturdy military uniforms as porters, and quietly going to Tokyo with gifts.
However, Yang Zhi is not a qualified escort. It was dog days, the weather was hot, but Yang Zhi insisted on walking on hot days, and the forbidden army carried heavy burdens and sweated like rain.
Yang Zhi's strict management intensified the contradictions, and the forbidden army complained one after another, and even the heat in Huangnigang was really not good, so Yang Zhi was allowed to split his head and brain, but he fell asleep under the pine shade tree and did not move.
When I come back, I will pay you back, and we will give you a credit. But this obviously doesn't make sense, a young man came up and grabbed Yang Zhi, but was knocked over by him with a punch. Two or three more bankers came forward with sticks, and Yang Zhi wanted to teach them a lesson.
Fortunately, this shop was opened by Cao Zheng, he was Lin Chong's apprentice, he had some kung fu, and he had heard of Yang Zhi's name, so he didn't make a big mess.
With the help of Cao Zheng, Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen joined forces to conquer Erlong Mountain, and since then Yang Zhi has become the leader of Erlong Mountain, and has worked with Lu Zhishen to govern the cottage. Subsequently, the addition of Wu Song made Erlongshan's power even stronger.
When Hu Yanzhuo attacked Peach Blossom Mountain, Li Zhong and Zhou Tong asked Erlong Mountain for help. In addition, Kong Ming asked Wu Song for help because he was captured by Hu Yanzhuo, and Lu Zhishen proposed to unite the Sanshan people to attack Qingzhou.
However, Yang Zhi believed that the city of Qingzhou was strong, the men and horses were strong, and Hu Yanzhuo was also very brave, and he could only win by inviting Liangshan Song Jiang to bring his troops forward. Therefore, the Sanshan people joined Liangshan.
However, after arriving in Liangshan, Yang Zhi's performance was not satisfactory. In the Battle of Dongchangfu, he fought against Zhang Qing, but was hit by his stone in his armor, and he was terrified, and soon returned to the battle.
Yang Zhi ranked seventeenth among the heroes of Liangshan and ranked third among the eight hussars of the Ma Army. Although his ranking is below Wu Song, considering his seniority and importance during the Erlongshan period, Wu Song should be after him.
However, in the later period of Liangshan, Yang Zhi did not receive enough attention. During the conquest of Fangla, he stayed in Dantu County because of his illness, which prevented him from being injured in the fierce battle, but it was also a pity.
When Song Jiang returned after the end of his expedition to Fangla, Yang Zhi was found dead in Dantu County and buried in another country. Although Yang Zhi's life was rich and colorful, he ended his life in a disgraceful way.
Yang Zhi's fate is really bumpy, and he has been battling bad luck all his life. When escorting Hua Shigang, the boat capsized, the gold and silver camp cadres were criticized by Gao Yu, the treasure knife was snatched without a plate, and the escort Shengchenggang was all robbed, which was the inevitable doom in his life.
He is a descendant of the loyal Yang generals, but he has not been as loyal to the country as his ancestors. In order to survive, he had to succumb to the traitor, and was in a state of depression all his life, and finally died in a foreign land, which can be called the most unfortunate member of the Yang family.
