A New Order in the Water Margin

Li Kui used to be a good person, at least he was a good person in many TV series. But as more and more people read the original work, Li Kui's image has also undergone a major reversal: from an innocent and straightforward man to a shameless man who kills innocent people indiscriminately - perhaps this is Li Kui's true face, and there is no place for him in any dynasty. Even in Liangshan, a place where bandits, bandits, tyrants and evil gentry gathered, if Song Jiang had not been there to protect him, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others would have killed him seven or eight times. Li Kui is a very complicated character. If he first met the affectionate and righteous Lu Zhishen and Shi Jin, then under the influence of influence, Li Kui might have become a good man. If he met Wu Song before going to Liangshan, then after a disagreement, Li Kui would have no chance to do evil again. The fluffy hemp grows, and it cannot stand up straight. The white sand is in nirvana, and it is black with it. Li Kui learned how to bully the good with Dai Zong, the provincial leader of the two academies, and lost the bottom line of life with Song Jiang, the governor of Yuncheng, and learned that everything can be settled with money. In the end, Li Kui can become a complex character with a split personality. We can see it from his six sentences, but whether Li Kui is really confused or pretending to be confused is highly debatable. Today, we will take a look at Li Kui's three characters through six sentences of Li Kui, and ask readers to taste: How much humanity is there in Li Kui's three characters? Is he naive and really confused, or is he cunning and cunning and pretending to be confused? We know that Li Kui is not straightforward, and he can also be clever. For example, when he first met Song Jiang, he showed the slickness and power of a little jailer: "If he really is Song Gongming, I will bow down; if you are idle, I will bow down to you!" "My lord! Why didn't you say something earlier and make Tie Niu happy? " Does Li Kui really not know Song Jiang? Of course it was absolutely impossible. Song Jiang had been assigned to Jiangzhou for some time, and he was already getting along like a fish in water: "After half a month of living there, no one in the camp disliked him." And because Song Jiang held on to the fact that Dai Zong, the divine traveler, had an affair with Wu Xuexue in Liangshan, he beat the number one person in the prison camp to death. As a small jailer, if Li Kui hadn't known that there was such a number one person, he would have been beaten to death seventeen or eight times. Li Kui pretended not to know Song Jiang, but cleverly expressed his admiration for Song Jiang. This kind of flattery was obviously in person, but it was shown as "praising someone behind the back". This is the highest level of flattery, so Song Jiang was so praised that his heart blossomed, and the money was spent at a high price. Li Kui finally got fifty taels of silver, which disappeared immediately, and Song Jiang could not be found. Li Kui's two quiet flattery words reflect Li Kui's snobbery and cunning. This is the typical character of a low-level jailer: bullying the weak, fearing the hard, and seeking only profit. It is said that Li Kui was so stupid that he could be admitted to the museum, but even if he was as heroic as Lu Zhishen or as decisive as Wu Song, he could not say it. After Song Jiang raised his anti-poetry and the Liangshan army robbed the execution ground, Liangshan became Li Kui's only destination. After Song Jiang made up the mythical story of "consuming the country because of family trees, swords and waterworks, spreading chaos in Shandong", Li Kui immediately understood Song Jiang's picture, and followed The snake-killing stick said: "Brother Chao Gai became the great emperor, brother Song Jiang became the little emperor, Mr. Wu became the prime minister, Taoist Gongsun became the national counselor, and we all became generals. We killed in Tokyo and took the bird's position. We are happy there, but not good? Isn't it better than this bird water pond?" After hearing what Li Kui said, Song Jiang secretly agreed but said nothing. Dai Zong stepped forward to reprimand him. Li Kui's goal of asking for directions was achieved, so he immediately got off the donkey and said, "If you cut off my head, when will another one grow out? I'll just eat wine." Many heroes laughed, but why they laughed, only three people, Chao Gai, Song Jiang, and Wu Yong, knew in their hearts: Even a fool knew that there were no two emperors in the sky, and the people had no two masters. Liangshan had two emperors, big and small. This was clearly to challenge Chao Gai and others - Song Jiang's silence was actually a kind of tacit approval. From these two sentences of Li Kui, we can see that Li Kui is actually very good at taking sides, and in this trial, he was able to send and receive freely, which not only achieved the purpose of promoting Song Jiang, but also prevented the three heroes of the Ruan family from getting angry. So these two sentences show Li Kui's second character: he adapts to the wind and is cunning and cunning. What best reflects Li Kui's cruel character is that after he massacred Hu Sanniang's entire family, he first shouldered the crime of massacring the village: "You have forgotten it, but I must not forget it. I taught that bird lady the other day that she wanted to kill my brother. , But now you are doing favors. You have never married his sister, so you are thinking about your uncle and father-in-law." Even a fool can see the intention of clearing up Song Jiang, but seeing Li Kui methodically massacre the village and steal money, it is clear that he has a plan: "Robbing directly into Hu's house. In the village, all the members of the Hutai Gong family, old and young, were killed, leaving no one alive. They asked the young men to take some horses and carry with them forty or fifty loads of all the property in the village. They burned the gate of the village and came back to offer it. " If this thing was done by the short-legged tiger Wang Ying, no one would be surprised at all, but Li Kui, an "innocent" "hero", made this case clean and watertight. If no one arranged it in advance, Wu Song might not be able to do it as meticulously as Li Kui. And after being "reprimanded" by Song Jiang and saying that he would not be held accountable, Li Kui's words made us fully understand his violent nature: "Although he has lost the credit, he still has the pleasure of killing me." Hujiazhuang has long surrendered to Liangshan, Everyone knows this, and Hu Cheng tied up Zhu Biao to ask for credit. Fools all know what happened, but Li Kui killed Zhu Biao regardless and then killed Hu Cheng. This was because he wanted to take credit and kill to silence him. Looking at how thoughtful and meticulous he was when he massacred the village, he was not a bastard who was blinded by the killing. And Li Kui can still laugh and feel sincerely "happy" after killing a village of old, young, women and children. We can only say that Li Kui's third personality is already inhumane and outraged by everyone: cold-blooded and ruthless, murderous. From Li Kui's six sentences, we can see three kinds of character of Li Kui: first, he bullies the weak and fears the strong, and is only interested in profit; second, he is cunning and cunning; third, he is cold-blooded and murderous. Therefore, Li Kui's reputation as the "Heavenly Killer" is well-deserved: Even if Song Jiang is protecting him, all the heroes can do nothing to him, but good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the way of heaven is reincarnation. If you don't believe it, look up and see who will be spared by heaven. Li Kui neither died in battle nor was framed by treacherous ministers. God gave him the most miserable way to die: he was killed by a pot of poisoned wine by his big benefactor and good brother, and no one showed mercy after his death. Of course, Li Kui said more than these six crazy words, and displayed more than three kinds of personalities. This requires readers to provide additional annotations. The author believes that Li Kui is the most evil person in Liangshan, and his level of evil even exceeds that of Cai Jing and Gao Qiu. Although Song Jiang and Wu Yong are sweet-talking and secretive, when it comes to how many innocent people's blood they have stained on their hands, they are still far inferior to Black Tornado Li Kui...

This is my first time writing a book review after reading it for so long. What is "Water Margin" about? In the eyes of people who love Water Margin, one hundred people may have 108 answers, but in the eyes of people who don't like Water Margin: gang fights, sinister schemes, cannibalism and betrayal... There are many Water Margin fanfictions, but the more you write, the more these impressions will be deepened for people who don't like Water Margin. Both are among the four major classics, but Water Margin is far less popular than Three Kingdoms. This is largely due to these reasons - the structure is too small, the vision is too narrow, and it is petty. Yeren Dada's book breaks through this point. The structure is high and the vision is broad, even many Three Kingdoms novels are far behind. It also writes about the essence of "Water Margin", allowing Water Margin to truly move from the arena into history. If the IP of Water Margin becomes popular in the future, this book will definitely be indispensable! Let the sticker serve as proof! One final word: This is not to start a fight. Many book friends like to compare this book with a certain Water Margin novel. It's better not to compare! Ye Da himself wrote in the introduction, "This is Water Margin, this is not Water Margin, this is still Water Margin, and this is the new order of Water Margin." This is a fanfic that is different from any Water Margin fanfic that we have seen so far. This is a monument!

In fact, some people in the book review area say that Water Margin is just gangsters fighting with no structure. I strongly disagree. Three Kingdoms is about national war and politics, Red Mansion is about love and hatred, and Journey to the West is an early high-quality novel. Only Water Margin is about the history of the struggle of real ordinary people and ordinary people at the bottom. It is the book with the highest social attributes and life atmosphere among the four famous books. Some may want to be a high official or make a fortune, but in the end their wishes will come to nothing and they will do nothing. Or they may have the skills to reach the top of the industry and are about to succeed, but unfortunately make a mistake. Or they may be honest and responsible people who are lured or forced by others and go to the road of no return. Or they may be lazy people who have been doing nothing all their lives and have no sense of existence. Looking at Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West, and Red Mansions, most people cannot find a character who is similar to themselves in the books, but Water Margin is different. Whether you are willing to admit it or not, everyone can find a character who looks like themselves in the books. Water Margin writes about the various conditions of the world and tastes the harshness of the world.

Regarding justice in ancient classics and novels, who are the good guys and who are the bad guys is a question that does not need to be discussed: that is, according to the core socialist values, every character in the four major classics is a bad guy, at least ideologically outdated and needs to be reformed. Nowadays, many netizens have embarked on an evil path, one-sidedly blaming the problems of the protagonist team of ancient novels, but avoiding talking about the ugliness of the overall environment in feudal society. Under such double standards, it is likely to give people the illusion that the rebels are all bad people, and the feudal government has become the good people. If a person is bad, it may be his own fault, but everyone is bad. This responsibility must be attributed to the ruler. Just like in Water Margin, although the Liangshan heroes killed innocent people and discriminated against women, would the Northern Song Dynasty court, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other traitorous officials who were on the opposite side of them do such bad things less often? Are they qualified to accuse Liangshan heroes of being evil? Even such an environment was caused by the Great Coward Dynasty Compared with the Northern Song Dynasty, which humiliated the country externally and brutally exploited the country internally, the rebel army is indeed worthy of the four words "to do justice for heaven": their power does not come from the landlords and civil servants, and they do not need to humiliate the land and pay compensation to the outside world. On the contrary, because most of the rebels only know martial arts, they will inevitably tend to the martial aristocratic system after the founding of the country, and they can only become the main militant faction. For the same reason in domestic policy, they will suppress the civil service system and eliminate redundant officials. After a few sets of combined punches, society will inevitably develop in a better direction. So, the heroes of Water Margin may not be good enough by current standards, but compared to the Northern Song Dynasty, which was more cruel internally and externally, they were much better.

It's really strange that not many people read such a well-written book! This is the best and most satisfying Water Margin novel I have read in the past two years, even a Song Dynasty novel. It has been fully ordered and is waiting for the author to update it.

I have been following this book since it first sprouted. I thought it would be like other Water Margin novels about the grievances and hatreds of Liangshan heroes. I didn't expect that Yerenda perfectly integrated the heroes' personal destinies into the historical tide. When I thought that the protagonist was going to take advantage of knowing the general trend of history and start going against the will of heaven, he used his own eyes to see the history that was happening, discarding the false and retaining the true, and feeling the real world. When I saw the protagonist taking root in Liangshan, I thought the protagonist was going to follow the Songjiang route and take both black and white. However, he seized a rare opportunity and jumped out of Liangshan to gain a reputation. I thought - I no longer dare to think that, as the plot unfolds, a corner of a real and huge world is revealed, and various forces appear one after another. Everyone is very vivid, with their own stance and logic of action. The protagonist participates in historical changes, but he is only one of the participants. Others will not be influenced by the will of the protagonist. The chapter about Ruan Xiaoqi's surfing the sea instantly pushed the depressing plot to a climax - how can he sail the sea without jumping out of a small puddle? Without jumping out of the Water Margin, how can we truly see and change this great era? If the first volume is about entering the world, it is still between the fictional Water Margin and real history; the second volume is about integrating into the world, and as the protagonist interacts with other characters, the world becomes real; the third volume is about participating in the world, where the protagonist actively participates in historical trends and welcomes the great changes of the times; the fourth volume was released in advance due to a display error, so it should be the protagonist starting to make plans. I have to say that the author is indeed a newcomer. The first chapters are very unfamiliar, but as the plot unfolds, you can clearly feel that the protagonist is growing up, his heroes are transforming, and the author's writing skills are also improving rapidly, especially in the characterization of characters. He is more skillful, and he can write a character vividly in one or two chapters or a few paragraphs. As a reader, while laughing at the story of Water Margin, I also broadened my horizons, expanded my thinking, and grew up with this book!

The book is good, the characters' reasoning is very reasonable, but the timeline in the book is very unreasonable! The protagonist has been in Liangshan for half a year, and a series of projects such as bow fish, wine making, honeycomb briquettes, toilet water, glass, etc. Have been completed! The protagonist here said a word, and the subordinates there produced the product in a few days, and then promoted it until the market was saturated in a month and a half, making a lot of money. Everyone in Liangshan was well-fed and well-fed, and there were many defectors, and the protagonist's reputation spread throughout the country in half a year. This timeline can be followed without thinking. Ignore these things. The writing is still good.

The good thing about Water Margin is that it surrendered. He made all the mistakes that the grassroots could make when fighting in a dark society. It would be unacceptable for such a regime to win. The author should emphasize the essential difference from the original Water Margin structure instead of solving the superficial problems.

Just read a little bit of this book! I feel good! We don't expect new authors to write books full-time. A good work takes time to polish, and so does a good writer! Many people watch pirated copies now! (Because most people don't have much spare money) So the author's income is a problem! The author is also advised to get married first before considering writing a book full-time! It's so tiring and time-consuming to rush the manuscript! (Rare exceptions) Some novice works may not achieve very good results (rare exceptions), and the author also needs to eat! If you have a mine at home, it doesn't matter if you use love to generate electricity, support it! If your family conditions are not good, please eat and drink well first, and use your business time to create hobbies! (You can also make money at work😁) It is recommended that you consider writing books full-time after two or three years of polishing! Consider! As a reader, I hope to see better works!
