History vs. fiction
Haizhou Prefect
The novel does not reflect Zhang Shuye's decisive role in suppressing Song Jiang; the "History of Song: Biography of Zhang Shuye" records in detail how he set an ambush in Haizhou, burned the rebels' ships, and forced Song Jiang to surrender. The original text reads: “先匿壮卒海旁，伺兵合，举火焚其舟。贼闻之，皆无斗志，伏兵乘之，擒其副贼，江乃降。”（《History of Song: Biography of Zhang Shuye》）
