Water margin novel Yue Fei

Answer 1

In the Water Margins novels, Yue Fei and the characters of the Water Margins have many connections.

In terms of background, Song Jiang was born into a landlord family and was considered a wealthy family in Yun City. However, in the eyes of the court, his background was low. Yue Fei was born into a peasant family and was also looked down upon by the court officials.

Judging from his position, Song Jiang was a petty official who was not liked by the court for a long time. Yue Fei, who had been a low-level officer for a long time and fought on the battlefield, was not valued by the court. Yue Fei had once been dismissed from his military position and expelled from the military camp because he advocated not to move south and expelled the Tartar Krupp to restore the Central Plains. Song Jiang was even less liked as a petty official and bandit.

In terms of loyalty, Song Jiang was loyal to Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, while Yue Fei was loyal to Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou. They both served the fatuous emperor and made great contributions. Song Jiang defeated the Liao Kingdom in the north and put down the Fangla uprising. Yue Fei spent his entire life fighting with the Jin army to restore a large area of land.

Both were killed by treacherous officials. Yue Fei was killed by Qin Hui and the others on a "groundless" charge (Zhao Gou acquiesced), and Song Jiang was poisoned to death by Cai Jing and Gao Qiu by giving him imperial wine. Before they died, they didn't rebel. They held the attitude that they would rather the court betray them than betray the court. After Song Jiang died, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty decreed that a temple should be built.

In terms of positions, they had all held the position of "Martial Virtue Physician". Yue Fei was a military general who was not liked in the Song Dynasty, which valued literature over martial arts. Song Jiang was an official, not an official. The status of an official was lower than that of an official, but he had no status. Furthermore, they had all suppressed large-scale peasant uprisings and attacked the Song army. Song Jiang had fought against the government army to quell the Fangla uprising, and Yue Fei had also attacked the Song army and quelled the peasant uprising.

From the perspective of the network of characters, Yue Fei's master, Zhou Dong, was the master of Lu Junyi and Lin Chong in the folk tales. Lu Junyi and Lin Chong were highly skilled in martial arts among the heroes of the Water Margins, which established an indirect connection. In addition, Guan Ling, the son of Guan Sheng, and Yue Yun, the eldest son of Yue Fei, were sworn brothers. Huyan Zhuo and Yue Fei were friends of two generations. In "Shuo Yue," the descendants of Zhang Qing, the vegetable garden, and Ruan Xiao 'er, the Tai Sui, joined the Yue family army. These all reflected the complicated and diverse relationship between Yue Fei and the Water Margins.
