" Little Tornado " Chai Jin is an important character in " Water Margin ". It was his help in the early stage that Song Jiang could have a hiding place after killing Yan Poxi , let alone Mention the martial arts masters he took in, such as , Wu Song, and so on.
It stands to reason that Chai Jin has a noble status, is quite wealthy, and is very righteous. Compared with Song Jiang, who was only an escort , his starting point is much higher, but Chai Jin has never existed in Liangshan. I feel that all these are his two major shortcomings as a human being.
Xiaoxuanfeng Chaijin
Chai Jin is a descendant of Chai Shizong, and his family also has an iron book of alchemy given by Emperor Taizu . He has a good reputation in the world, he is generous with money, he likes to get to know heroes from all over the world, and his appearance is even more outstanding. Dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, white teeth and red lips. But in the end, such a character had few friends. When he was in trouble, except for the heroes on Liangshan Mountain, none of the people who had been around him to gain influence were gone, which shows his failure as a human being.
Chai Jin, like Song Jiang, was both generous and generous. After all, Song Jiang was just a small landowner. Compared with Chai Jin, he was far from enough. But after spending so much money and helping so many people, it seemed that in the end, few people could help Chai Jin. Those who work hard don't even have close friends.
Due to his superior background, even if Chai Jin likes to meet heroes, he will inevitably not understand those ordinary people. To say that there are only a few heroes in Liangshan who have good family backgrounds, most of them are ruffians. Of course Chai Jin will not understand them. They are close. But Song Jiang, who also likes to make friends with heroes, is different. He has a square face, a dark face and a short body. People are more accepting of him. And Song Jiang usually gets to know people from all walks of life, so for the mixed people on Liangshan It is also easier to get familiar with.
One of the shortcomings: short-sightedness
Lin Chong is one of the best in Water Margin, and his character is also the best among them. After being framed by Gaoqiu , Lin Chong was assigned to the Cangzhou Expeditionary Army. On the way, he passed Chai Jin's manor . After hearing that Lin Chong was once the instructor of 's 800,000 Imperial Army, Chai Jin had a heated exchange with him. .
While they were chatting heatedly, Chai Jin's gun and stick master , Coach Hong , appeared. He was very disdainful that Chai Jin respected Lin Chong so much. He mocked Lin Chong and said that he was just like the other people who came to Chai Jin's manor. I want to cheat on food and drink.
So he provoked Lin Chong to compete with him to prove his strength to Chai Jin. At that time, Chai Jin had only heard of Lin Chong's name as the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Army and had no idea about his strength. I know, so I really want to see how strong he is.
So Chai Jin asked the banker to take out a silver ingot weighing twenty-five taels, threw it on the ground, and said to them, whoever can win can take the silver taels.
This move proves that Chai Jin does not value Lin Chong from the bottom of his heart, and just regards this matter as a matter of fun. . Even though Lin Chong is now assigned to Cangzhou , he was the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Army in Tokyo, so he has never seen anything. , how could he be tempted by a mere twenty-five taels of silver, and Chai Jin's move of throwing it to the ground made Lin Chong even more angry. It was really a tiger falling from the sky and trampling on his dignity. How could such a Chai Jin be attracted to Lin Chong? Eye.
Disadvantage No. 2: Beginning but no end
Wu Song came to Chai Jinβs manor to avoid trouble after being drunk and killing people. When they first met, Chai Jin did not increase the bandwidth and just entertained him as an ordinary banker. After all, Wu Song was not well-known in the world at that time. , can be said to be just a little transparent. Although he has the power to defeat a tiger, he doesn't show it at all.
Wu Song likes to drink and occasionally beats people while drunk, which makes Chai Jin gradually alienate him. Wu Song also has no good impression of Chai Jin, but is forced to live here.
It was completely different when Song Jiang came to Chai Jin's manor. Song Jiang's name of Timely Rain was widely circulated in the world. Of course, Chai Jin welcomed this kind of character.
Later, Song Jiang drank too much at Chai Jin Manor and accidentally stepped on the fire tongs in the corridor. The sparks from it flew to the face of Wu Song who was sleeping nearby. Originally, Wu Song was not satisfied with Chai Jin's arrangement of wine, but now Someone also put a brazier on his beam. How could Wu Song bear it anymore, so he grabbed Song Jiang by the collar and was about to beat Song Jiang. At this time, people from Chai Jin's house quickly came over to break up the fight and reported to Chai Jin. .
Song Jiang's identity still has a certain status, so Chai Jin came to them quickly, and then said to Wu Song: "You man, don't you know this person? He is the Jiyu Song Jiang you have always wanted to see." "
At this time, Chai Jin might not even remember Wu Song's name, and could only describe it as "man".
After learning that this was the famous Jiyu Song Jiang, Wu Song quickly let go and apologized. However, Song Jiang did not blame him at all. Instead, he praised Wu Song for his strong martial arts and could pull him up with one blow. In the days that followed, they took Wu Song to drink and have fun every day and took care of Wu Song. This also made Wu Song and Song Jiang quickly become good friends.
When leaving, Song Jiang personally sent Wu Song off for more than ten miles, and they drank and sworn sworn friends. Wu Song respectfully called Song Jiang his righteous brother and said goodbye with tears.. Later, he also lamented that Shi Yu Song Gongming was indeed extraordinary and not an ordinary person, but for Chai Jin, Wu Song just said "I have really disturbed the high officials a lot."
Just like that, two people who could be ranked in the top ten in Liangshan in the future were missed by Chai Jin. It can be seen that he is indeed not as good as Song Jiang in terms of life.
Chai Jinβs hospitality is basically the same. A plate of meat, a plate of cakes, a pot of wine, a bucket of white rice, and ten guan of money . Everyone who lives in his manor is treated this way, except Song Jiang When facing a few people who were famous in the world, such as Wu Song, who had not yet risen, Chai Jin didn't even look at them, and just blindly created a character who was generous and generous.
People have dignity, especially those heroes, who care more about this kind of thing . Chai Jin always regards himself as noble and thinks that he is of noble origin and cannot give due respect to the common people, so he will first After losing Lin Chong, he lost Wu Song, and he missed heroes again and again.
Chai Jin is like Mengchangjun. He spends money to support a large number of dealers. He seems to be majestic, but in fact no one is loyal to him. These people are just a financial relationship to him.
The reason why Song Jiang was successful is not unreasonable. He completely overwhelmed Chai Jin in terms of life, so Chai Jin gradually lost little power after falling into Liangshan. On the other hand, Song Jiang gradually took the top spot in Liangshan.
No matter what situation he is in, Song Jiang will give the opponent enough face . Even if the opponent is defeated and captured, Song Jiang will lower his posture and act as if he hastily left the court, ordered the soldiers to retreat, and personally untied them. , so that those who were arrested recognized Song Jiang invisibly.
Those who set their sights above others and regard others as nothing are generally difficult to succeed. Even if they can be brilliant for a while, they cannot be brilliant for a lifetime.
