Ninety -seven of the Laureate of Yayu Book House: What year is Song Jiang Uprising?

"Water Margin" describes the exact time when the Song Jiang Uprising is described. As a novel, this is understandable. But those who care about "Water Margin" and Liangshan Uprising always feel that this is a pity. The positive history of the Song Jiang Uprising is "Song History · Huizong Benji", "Song Shi · Zhang Shuye Biography", and "Song Shi Hou Meng Chuan". Therefore, this problem had to find all other novels and miscellaneous history.

"Song Xuanhe Restaurant" is a historical comment written in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The main content is the story of the Song Jiang Uprising. Today's scholars generally believe that it is an important blueprint for "Water Margin". From the story recorded in the "Xuanhe Restaurant", the Song Jiang Uprising can be briefly calculated. "Xuanhe Restaurant" described Yang Zhi, Ji Gai and others to go to Liangshanbo to fall into the grass as the pirates of Xuanhe (1120) in May (1120). Then it was Song Jiang's killing Yan Po. In this way, Songjiang Shangliangshan Po should be after June and July of Xuanhe.

But the records of several miscellaneous history are a bit contradictory. Volume 18 of Li Yan's "Ten Dynasties Outline" in the Song Dynasty said: "In the first year of Xuanhe (1119) in December, the recruitment of Shandong stole Song Jiang." Since the first year of Xuanhe has been descended to recruit, how can Xuanhe two years of two years? What about the uprising after May? So is there a problem with Li Yan's record? This possibility is not great. Because Li Yan is the son of Li Yan, Li Yan is the author of "Renewal of the Renewal of Tongzhi", and this book has always been pushed by the historian community. The "Outline of the Ten Dynasties" is actually the directory of "Renewal of the Tongzhi Tongjian". "Renewal of the Tongzhi Jian Jian" based on the national history and calendar at that time, of course, the degree of credibility must far exceed the "Xuanhe Restaurant" of the street discussion. Therefore, Song Jiang's uprising should be before the first year of Xuanhe.

So which year before the first year is the accurate time of the Song Jiang uprising? In this regard, Gu Zuyu, a master of history in the Qing Dynasty, said: "Song Zheng and Zhongzhong, Song Jiangjie in Liangshanbo." It is speculative. There is a positive evidence to support this statement. When the Biography of the Song Dynasty. When mentioning the four years of Zhenghe (1114), there was a official named Du Gongcai who presented Yang Yan and said that it was "Liangshanbo, Gu Yiye Ze, hundreds of miles, and Ji Yizhou Zhizhou relied on the state. The benefit of Puyu, the rent is straight, and the offender is obsessed. "The Du Gong here took hundreds of miles of Liangshanbo as a way to develop money. It is conceivable that if Song Jiang is still entangled in Liangshanbo at this time, then Liang Shanbo is not a financial source for Yang Yan, but a threat of unstable. Therefore, the correct time of the Song Jiang uprising should be in the five years before the first year of Xuanhe (1119) after the fourth year of Zhenghe. Perhaps it was precisely because Yang Yan sent people to occupy Liang Shanbo and aroused the indignation of the people, which caused Liangshan to expel officers and soldiers, occupying the mountain as the king. Liang Shanbo's reputation also made great noise.
