What is the historical authenticity of Qiu Qiongying, the first female general in "Water Margin"?
Speaking of the female generals in "Water Margin", Gu Sister-in-law, Sun Erniang and Hu Sanniang are undoubtedly the three most famous. In the original text of "Water Margin", among the enemy troops who fought against Liangshan, in addition to the three major generals of Liangshan, there were also three female generals: Princess Tianshou of Liao, Dali Polo, wife of Wang Qing, Duan Sanniang and Tian Hu"Qiongzhi arrowhead"Qiu Qiongying. Qiu Qiongying.
Among these six female generals, Qiu Qiongying's martial arts are particularly outstanding, and she has even defeated Hu Sanniang, Lin Chong and Li Kui. Although she did not participate in the Daliangshan Conference, and she did not have an official position or star, after she came to Liangshan, she made great achievements in the battle of pacifying Tian Hu and Wang Qing.
Qiu Qiongying's parents died when she was a child, and she had to confess to the thief.
Qiu Qiongying was born into a wealthy family in Jiexiu County, Fenyang Prefecture. During the Hebei Tianhu Rebellion, he captured 56 counties in five provinces, including Wei County (Ming Dynasty Qinzhou), Zhaode County (Ming Dynasty Lu'an Prefecture), Gai County (Ming Dynasty Zezhou), Jinning Mansion (Ming Dynasty Pingyang Prefecture), Gai County (Ming Dynasty Zezhou), Jinning Mansion (Ming Dynasty Pingyang Mansion) and Fenyang Mansion (Ming Dynasty Fenzhou Mansion), and Qiu Qiongying's family lived in Fenyang Mansion.
When Qiu Qiongying was ten years old, her grandfather Song Youlie died, and her father Qiu Shen and mother Song went to Pingyao County to mourn. Tian Hu wanted to marry the Song family, but in order to avoid humiliation, the Song family committed suicide by throwing himself off the cliff and dying like a strange stone at the foot of the mountain. After this incident, Ye Qing's housekeeper was responsible for taking care of Qiu Qiongying.
A year later, Tian Hu recovered Hebei, and his general Wu Li led thieves to break into Qiu's house, taking Ye Qing and his wife and the young Qiu Qiongying with them. Wu Liben had no heirs, but seeing Qiu Qiongying's beauty and intelligence, he and his wife Ni adopted her as an adopted daughter. In order to take care of the little master, Ye Qing was forced to come to Wu Li's command, followed Wu Li to fight on the battlefield, and was appointed as the chief manager because of his merits.
By chance, Ye Qing's servant was ordered to go to Shilu Mountain to collect firewood and stones, and found a strange stone made by the Song people, only then did he know the grievances between the former master Qiu Chuji and the Song people, and informed Qiu Qiongying. Although Qiu Qiongying wanted to take revenge, she was young and frail, and she was under the fence, so she could only hide the hatred in her heart for the time being.
Later, Qiong Ying was not convinced, and met an immortal in a dream, and the immortal taught him martial arts. In order to take revenge, he learned in his dreams, practiced hard day and night, and gradually mastered martial arts. Later, the goddess brought him a young general in a dream, taught him the skill of flying stones and hurting people, and told him that this person was his destiny, so Qiong Ying was named"Qiongya East"。
Once, Qiu Qiongying accidentally smashed the roof tiles with stones when practicing martial arts, and her stepmother Ni asked her after she knew, Qiu Qiongying told her stepmother about her dream, and her stepmother Ni asked about it, Qiu Qiongying told her stepmother about her dream, saying that there was a god who taught her martial arts, and said that this was to help her stepfather Wu Li obtain the position of prince and marquis, Wu Li was very happy after hearing it, and loved Qiu Qiongying even more.

This year, Qiu Qiongying was 16 years old.
The Liangshan army crossed the Yellow River and attacked Zhaode, and the Phantom Demon Lord Qiao Daoqing led his army into battle. Yunzhong Dragon Gongsun Sheng defeated Qiao Daoqing, besieged Baigou Ridge, and besieged Zhaode at the same time. Qi Fang, the defender of Lucheng north of Zhaode, heard the news and immediately sent someone to Tian Hu to report the emergency.
Tian Hu was shocked when he heard the news, and convened hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss the matter. His uncle Wu Yong (Wu Yong's sister married Tian Hu) asked him to lead troops to save people, and his daughter Qiu Qiongying dreamed that the gods taught her skills and made great progress in martial arts. Tian Hu reported the matter and recommended Qiu Qiongying as a wanted criminal. Tian Hu then made Qiu Qiongying the king, and ordered Wu Yong to accompany him and lead 30,000 troops. An army of 30,000 marched to Zhaode to join Song Jiang.
At this time, Zhaode City had fallen, Qiao Daoqing surrendered, and Song Jiang learned of the arrival of Tianhu's reinforcements and led his army north to participate in the battle.
Qiu Qiongying led the troops to be stationed in the south of Xiangyuan City twenty miles, the Song army garrison learned that Wang Ying was leading the troops, and immediately led the troops to fight, Qiong Ying first fought with Wang Ying, and stabbed Wang Ying in the left leg with the idea, Hu Sanniang was captured to save her husband, but the result was still no match for Qiong Ying's enmity, Gu Dazhong saw this, and Hu Sanniang rushed to the front line to fight with Qiong Ying.
Gu Dayu and Hu Sanniang fought with Qiu Qiongying for more than 20 rounds, Qiu Qiongying suddenly turned over and rode away, Hu Sanniang and Gu Dayu chased after each other, Qiu Qiongying turned around and threw out a stone, which hit Hu Sanniang's right wrist. Seeing this, Gu Dayu had no choice but to let go of Qiu Qiongying and escort Hu Sanniang back to the battlefield. Sun Xin rushed forward to meet Qiong Ying, but before he could teach Qiong Ying a lesson, he was hit by Qiong Ying in the helmet.
Qiu Qiongying was about to kill Sun Xin and others, Lin Chong and Li Kui arrived with troops, and Qiu Qiongying took the lead in fighting Lin Chong. After a few rounds, Qiong Ying realized that she couldn't beat Lin Chong, and turned her horse's head again. Lin Chong chased after him, and Qiong Ying used the trick of flying stones to hit people. Although Lin Chong blocked the first flying stone, the second flying stone hit his front door, and he had to retreat into the formation with a spear in his hand.

Qiong Ying hit Li Kui's forehead with a stone, fortunately Li Kui's skin was rough and thick, he only felt pain, and it was not broken, Qiong Ying saw that he couldn't beat Li Kui, so he returned to the formation. Li Kui was furious and immediately chased after him. Lu Zhishen and the others were afraid that he would not be able to see him, so they gathered together to kill him.

Qiu Qiongying crossed Liangshan, defeated Tian Hu first, and then shared with Wang Qing.
During the battle, Wu Li was shot in the neck by a cold arrow from Sun An's soldiers. Seeing this, Qiu Qiongying did not listen to the retreat, and the battle was suspended for several days due to the serious injuries of both sides. During this period, Qiu Qiong's former chamberlain Ye Qing was also ordered to protect Xianggong, and he thought that this was an opportunity for revenge, so he left the barracks in the name of seeking medical treatment for Wu Li, secretly entered Song Jiang's barracks, and told Song Jiang and others about Qiu Qiong's tragic life experience.
Song Jiang was worried after hearing this, and learned that Zhang Qing had also dreamed of immortals and asked him to teach women the art of flying stones, so he asked Wu Yong to accept this plan and let An Daoquan and Zhang Qing infiltrate Wu Yong's army to go undercover. After returning, Ye Qing told Qiong Ying that he planned to join the Song army to take revenge. Only then did Qiong Ying know that Zhang Qing was the person who taught her martial arts in her dream, and this was also her destined marriage.
