If there were no Song Jiang, who else could lead the Liangshan heroes better?

Everyone knows that Song Jiang was not the lord of Liangshan from the beginning. Before he went up the mountain, Liangshan was commanded by Chao Gai, the "King of Pagodas". Later, Song Jiang went up the mountain to shake Chao Gai's dominance. Chao Gai was eager to make meritorious deeds and stabilize his position as leader of the village, so Zeng Tou Shi took advantage of the situation and shot him to death with a poisonous arrow. It was precisely because Chao Gai was killed that Song Jiang had the opportunity to become the boss of Liangshan, and eventually led everyone in Liangshan to the point of no return. But I wonder if you have ever thought about it, if Song Jiang dies in battle, who is most likely to succeed him? The editor will analyze it for you today.

First person: Lu Junyi. Lu Junyi was originally a wealthy businessman and landowner in Damingfu, Hebei Province. He hunted and traveled every day and lived a very comfortable life. Because he was favored by Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others, they forced him to go to Liangshan. Originally, according to Chao Gai's last words, whoever catches the person who shot him to death can become the leader of Liangshan village. But because Lu Junyi had just arrived in Liangshan and his foundation was unstable, he let Song Jiang take the position of village leader, and he ranked second.

Later, during the Southern and Northern Wars, Lu Junyi also played a major role. If he had been the leader of Liangshan Village, everyone would probably be convinced. Moreover, during the later conquests of Liao and Fangla, Lu Junyi also brought a large group of Liangshan heroes with him. These people also became his direct descendants in the process of following Lu Junyi. If Lu Junyi wants to take office, they will probably support it with both hands.

The second person: Lin Chong. Lin Chong is a veteran figure in Liangshan. Without him, there would be no Liangshan later. Because he was not keen on power, he gave up the position of village leader to Chao Gai and Song Jiang successively. Moreover, as the instructor of the 800,000 forbidden troops, he can definitely conquer others in terms of force. Because he came from an old bureaucratic background, he also spoke the same language as the generals who surrendered in Liangshan. Moreover, he has the most powerful reason for becoming the leader of the village, that is, he will not reconcile with Gao Qiu.

At that time, Gao Qiu used his power to ruin Lin Chong's family and ordered people to kill him several times. Lin Chong hated Gao Qiu deeply and always thought about revenge, and the Northern Song Dynasty court could not give up on Gao Qiu because of Lin Chong. Therefore, after Lin Chong became the leader of the village, Liangshan would not accept the imperial court's recruitment. This is exactly what Wu Song and other Liangshan heroes hope for. Therefore, if Lin Chong takes over, he will have many supporters.

Third person: Lu Zhishen. Although Liangshan looks monolithic to the outside world, in fact, their internal factions are complicated, and Lu Zhishen is the boss of the "Three Mountains Faction". The "Three Mountains Clan" is so powerful in Liangshan that even Song Jiang does not dare to provoke them easily, so if the leader of the village is elected, their votes are also crucial. And Lu Zhishen's multiple identities can also attract a lot of votes for him. First of all, he had been an official and had something to say with Liangshan's generals. Secondly, Lu Zhishen's good brother Lin Chong was a veteran in Liangshan.

With Lin Chong's personality, he may not necessarily compete for the position of village leader. But if Lu Zhishen plans to compete, he will definitely vote for Lu Zhishen. After all, they were lifelong friends. Finally, Lu Zhishen opposed recruiting An. When Song Jiang proposed recruiting troops in Liangshan, Lu Zhishen made his attitude clear. He understands the darkness of officialdom and knows that there will be no good results after recruiting people. Although everyone in Liangshan expressed dissatisfaction, few dared to take offense. If Lu Zhishen wants to be promoted, the heroes who don't want to recruit An will definitely vote for him. In addition, Lu Zhishen has another greatest advantage, which is his loyalty. This is also respected by Liangshan heroes. Therefore, these three people will be the popular candidates to compete for the position of village leader.
