The most charismatic character in "Water Margin" is none other than Lin Chong. He is the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, commanding the soldiers and horses of the royal city, and his momentum is extraordinary. If it weren't for the fact that his wife was framed by wicked people, his future would have been bright.
Many people are curious about the ancient position of the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, and want to know how big an official position it will be if it is placed in modern times. However, a closer look reveals that this position is actually the modern equivalent of an instructor, and the title is not high.
This is because in the Song Dynasty, it was an indisputable fact that the emphasis was on literature and light on military force, and the emperors of all dynasties were very jealous of military generals and military power, and even carried out the incident of "releasing military power with a glass of wine".
Therefore, the position of 800,000 forbidden army instructors is actually not too official in modern times.
Although Lin Chong's forbidden army was responsible for protecting the royal city, it was also a potential threat to the emperor. There are many people in the forbidden army, and there are not a few leaders like Lin Chong.
Lin Chong's position is equivalent to that of an instructor in the modern army, and he is only responsible for daily training. The reason why Lin Chong has always had the prestige of the 800,000 forbidden army instructors is because he has performed well among many instructors.
This is not only due to the strength of his personal ability, but also to his unique character.
Although Lin Chong was a member of the government, his warm-hearted heart and righteous name were gradually praised in the rivers and lakes, and he had many fans. However, as Lin Chong became famous, some treacherous people became jealous of him, trying to find opportunities to humiliate him and induce him to make mistakes.
Gao Taiwei has long coveted Lin Chong's wife, and has always held a grudge against Lin Chong. After a drunken experience, Gao Taiwei actually intended to ** Lin Chong's wife, but fortunately, Lin Chong arrived in time to avoid a tragedy.
However, Captain Gao did not stop there, and he devised an even more insidious poisonous plan.
Gao Taiwei used the machete as an excuse to lure Lin Chong into the White Tiger Hall. White Tiger Hall stipulates that only high-level ** can enter, and it is strictly forbidden to carry**. Lin Chong not only violated these two prohibitions, but also fell into the trap of Gao Taiwei.
Gao Yu used his influence to constantly put pressure in front of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, trying to make Lin Chong deserve it. Although Kaifeng Mansion Yin had the intention to protect him, because Lin Chong did violate the ban, he could not completely exonerate him.
Although the crime did not lead to the death penalty, the catastrophe of exile was escaped. In order to deal with this matter, Kaifeng Mansion Yin could only bear the pressure of Gao Yu and sentenced Lin Chong to exile.
Most people would feel disappointed and discouraged if they were to suffer such injustice, let alone accept exile. In fact, Kaifeng Mansion Yin also left a way back for Lin Chong.
However, Lin Chong was unwilling to give up, and even if he was wronged, he did not give up the idea of the imperial court. If it weren't for Lu Zhishen and the others who had already made arrangements on the road, Lin Chong might have already lost his mind.
From the head of the 800,000 forbidden army to the exiled frontier, Lin Chong experienced the darkest moment in his life, and the forage field was his turning point. Although the work in the hay field is easy and not heavy, it is not necessarily a good thing to go on like this.
After all, Lin Chong is now facing the challenge of life and death, and only by moving forward bravely can he find a new way out.
Gao Yu is a person who must repay him, and he will never let Lin Chong go easily. Therefore, he sent Lu Qian and Fu An to Cangzhou, and asked them to be ordered by his son to deal with Lin Chong in the pasture.
Even though Lin Chong was far away from them, they still didn't let him go. Fortunately, that night, it happened to be a snowy night, and Lin Chong came back late and spent the night at the nearby mountain temple.
When he found that the grassland was on fire, he immediately rushed over to put out the fire, but at the door, he heard Lu Qian and Fu An raising a glass to get rid of him, and his face was full of joy and ready to go back to Gao Yu's father and son.
In an instant, he was furious, rushed into the door, and ended the lives of both in the blink of an eye. However, Lin Chong, who had just finished killing people, realized the seriousness of the problem. He killed people and could never go back to his old life.
If you go back and turn yourself in, you will face the threat of death. He hated Gao Yu and others for depriving him of his right to live, and he was also helpless about the world's indifference. Therefore, the most classic scene in "Water Margin" was staged: Lin Chong braved the wind and snow, galloped all the way, and finally chose Shangliang Mountain.
Lin Chong, a loyal and heroic leader of the 800,000 forbidden army, his loyalty and loyalty to the imperial court made him win a high reputation among the heroes of Liangshan.
However, even if he served the court wholeheartedly, he could not escape the fate of being insulted, framed, and hunted down by his wife, and finally carried the burden of human life. Although in modern times his position may have been lower, his social status in the society of the time was quite high.
Lin Chong is full of martial arts, but he was framed in the troubled times, if it weren't for this, his career might be bright, and he would not end up in the grass and become seriously ill. He didn't do much after arriving in Liangshan, partly because of his own character.
He offended many people in Liangshan, but he didn't know it. Chao Gai and others are not optimistic about his character, because he was originally a member of the court, and he has always looked forward to a ** court that can clear his grievances and let him return to the court.
This idea is obviously too naïve, just like Song Jiang facing the court's recruitment, only seeing the surface, not thinking about the deep meaning behind it, and wanting to serve the country. Therefore, since Lin Chong joined Liangshan, he has been incompatible with everyone.
Although people were jealous of his name, he was often overlooked when Liangshan needed everyone to complete the task. In short, the character of Lin Chong is portrayed very vividly by the author and has a distinct personality.
There are contradictions and cowardly human weaknesses in him.
He was bold and uninhibited, regardless of power, which made him shine. However, his shortcomings are equally obvious, he is impulsive, unsophisticated, naïve, unsociable, and does not know how to gain a foothold in society.
Breaking into the White Tiger Hall with a knife and repentance after killing people both stem from the same mistake. However, he did not realize what his problem was, and he did not have the wisdom to judge the situation.
The court's Zhao'an is obviously a big net, ready to wipe out all the people in Liangshan, but he doesn't know it. In the final analysis, he still cares about his own interests, is unwilling to become a rogue, and hopes to make a difference on the road to making contributions.
Painfully, these visions could not be realized at that time, because that society was so corrupt that it could not be changed by one person or a small group of people. Because of this, most of the heroes of Liangshan will end tragically, and there are almost few who can spend the rest of their lives peacefully.
