Marshal Tianpeng was an important character in Journey to the West. He was the second son of the Jade Emperor and was in charge of 80,000 navy troops. On the way to the scriptures, he had experienced many battles with Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sand. One of the most famous battles was with the Bull Demon King. In this battle, Marshal Tianpeng was defeated by the Bull Demon King, but in the end, he still successfully protected Tang Sanzang. In addition, he had fought with the Spider Spirit, Scorpion Spirit, and other demons, and had helped Tang Sanzang and others cross many obstacles.
In Journey to the West, Zhu Bajie no longer served as Marshal Tianpeng. Who would command his 80,000 navy? In fact, the novel did not explicitly mention who was in charge of Zhu Bajie's navy. According to the plot of the novel, Sun Wukong led Sanzang, Sangha, and the White Dragon Horse on the way to obtain the true scriptures. In this process, Sun Wukong not only took on the role of the main leader, but he also managed many disciples and followers, including Tang Sanzang's disciples, monsters and so on. Therefore, Sun Wukong actually controlled the water army of the entire Buddhist scripture team. In the novel, Zhu Bajie once served as Marshal Tianpeng and was one of the marshals in the sky. However, he was defeated by Sun Wukong and others on his way to obtain scriptures and was demoted to the mortal world. After that, Zhu Bajie became the disciple of Tang Sanzang and followed him to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures. However, his naval power was not controlled by Sun Wukong and the others.
There was no version of the Infinite Immortal Jade in the Journey to the West. Infinite Immortal Jade was a setting in another novel, Infinite Horror, which had nothing to do with Journey to the West.
In Journey to the West, Marshal Tianpeng was a Taoist god and not a military leader, so he did not have a specific number of soldiers. His main role was to assist the Jade Emperor in handling the affairs of the Heavenly Court and to protect the safety of the Jade Emperor and the immortals. In the novel, Marshal Tian Peng had fought with Sun Wukong and the others, but it did not show that he had military power.
Marshal Tianpeng turned into a pig in the sixth episode of Journey to the West. In the sixth episode, Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang, and others came to the Demon King's territory to defeat the Demon King Marshal Tianpeng and were sent to help. However, Marshal Tianpeng suddenly turned into a pig-headed monster while fighting the Demon King. Later, through his own efforts and the teachings of Tang Sanzang, he finally recovered his human form.
The Tianpeng Marshal Zhu Bajie in Journey to the West had no exact prototype in history because Journey to the West was a fictional novel. The characters and plot were all created by the author. However, from a historical point of view, Zhu Bajie had some interesting archetypes. One of the models was Marshal Chen Zhi from the Tang Dynasty. He was also known as Zhu Ganglie. According to legend, Zhu Ganglie was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty who had performed well in the war and was called "General Zhu". His image was depicted as a fat pig in Journey to the West. Another interesting prototype was the Yuan Dynasty Marshal Zhang Hongfan, also known as Zhu Bajie. According to legend, Zhang Hongfan was a smart and agile wild boar. He performed well in the war and once helped the Yuan Dynasty army defeat the enemy's invasion. In Journey to the West, his image was depicted as a wild boar with rich combat experience. Although Zhu Bajie in Journey to the West had some interesting archetypes, there was no conclusive evidence in history to prove the existence of these archetypes.
