Before liberation, there were three gangsters in Shanghai: Huang Jinrong, Zhang Xiaolin and Du Yuesheng.
Later generations summed up their characteristics: Huang Jinrong loves money, Zhang Xiaolin can fight, and Du Yuesheng can be a man. As can be seen from here, the best is Du Yuesheng who can be a man.
In p>1888, Du Yuesheng was born in what is now Pudong New Area. On the day of birth, it happened to be Ghost Festival. According to feudal superstition, the child was born with something congenial.
Du Yuesheng's family is relatively poor. When she was two years old, her mother died in childbirth, and her sister was born because she couldn't afford to give it away. After Du Yuesheng was developed, it was searched everywhere without results. At the age of five, my father died again. Because of poverty, Du Yuesheng's parents were not buried, but placed on the ridge of the field, covered with straw. A few years later, a boxwood tree grew between the two coffins, flourishing, and covered the coffin like a canopy. Du Yuesheng once wanted to move and bury his parents. Mr. Feng Shui told him that the two coffins must not be moved, especially the tree, which is related to the fate of Du family, and must be guarded. Of course, this is a feudal superstition. Just look at the strangeness.
Du Yuesheng lived with her grandmother after her parents died. Usually, I cheated with a group of fox friends and dog friends, and I also loved gambling. In the end, I lost my pants and was kicked out by my uncle. 15-year-old Du Yuesheng had to go to Shanghai to find a way out.
Shanghai, Du Yuesheng is coming!
When he first arrived in Shanghai, Du Yuesheng sold fruits in a fruit shop. It is said that he has excellent skills in peeling fruits, and he is called "Fruit Moon Sheng" and "Laiyang Pear".
Selling fruits is just enough for food and clothing. Du Yuesheng is a man with great ambition. Unwilling to be outdone, he took up some sideline jobs, such as touching a bag, but what he knows best is the "Throwing Palace". What does it mean? Is to follow people, take off their hats and run when they are unprepared. Then sell it in a second-hand shop.
After a period of time, Du Yuesheng found that all these things had no future, and at best they were street hooligans. If you want to get ahead, you can't go it alone, you must be organized. So, Du Yuesheng found a way to worship in green gang and became a disciple of green gang.
This green gang has a long history, which was created by Weng Yan, Qian Jian and Pan Qing in the fourth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty. Originally, I used to do some grain transportation and transport food. Behind the bigger, become a secret gang, with Hong Men, the society collectively known as the three gangs.
Entering green gang is only the first step. Du Yuesheng received some protection money and became a member of the underworld. Next, Du Yuesheng's most important opportunity came. He was introduced to Huang Mansion.
Huang Mansion is Huang Jinrong's home.
This Huang Jinrong is quite awesome. He is a big shot in green gang, Shanghai, and he is also the inspector general of the French Concession. He can eat both black and white. Usually, the biggest business is to eat black, and send people to grab opium and sell it halfway.
Working in Huang Mansion gave Du Yuesheng a chance to step into the sky. However, opportunities are for people with ability. Some people have worked in Huang Jinrong's house all their lives, but they still burn the fire. And Du Yuesheng worked in Huang Mansion for several years, just like Huang Jinrong, and finally his momentum was still above Huang Jinrong.
how did he do it?
here are two examples.
One night in the middle of the night, Huang Jinrong called all the people in his family and said that he had just grabbed a sack of opium. Now, all the broken ones are back, but the delivery man hasn't come back yet. Something must have happened. Unfortunately, there is no one available at home now. Would any of you like to go out for a run?
people here are usually responsible for pouring tea and handing water, but now they are going to find opium. This major is not right.
When everyone was quiet, Du Yuesheng stood up and said, lend me a gun and I'll look for it. Du Yuesheng also specifically said, I'll just go alone.
Du Yuesheng knows that this is the best opportunity for him to perform, and he never wants anyone to share the work.
But where can I find that sack of opium in the middle of the night? There are many people at dawn. That's not easy to find.
After going out, Du Yuesheng made a quick analysis. If the thieves robbed the goods of Huang Mansion, they would definitely not stay in the French Concession in Huang Jinrong. Moreover, it is night, and the gates of Shanghai County are closed, so the other party can't get out. The only place to go is the British Concession, which is close to the French Concession.
after finding the train of thought, Du Yuesheng immediately ran to Pidgin, the junction of the British and French Concessions. He believed that the other side would definitely pass through here.
Sure enough, a rickshaw came slowly because it was loaded with heavy objects.
In the darkness, Du Yuesheng dashed forward, aiming at the people in the car: "Brother, you lost your wind!"
It really is Huang Jinrong's opium.
Because of this incident, Du Yuesheng became the core figure of Huang Mansion, and he could participate in the opium business: that is, eating black and grabbing opium.
let's give another example. Once Du Yuesheng went out to start work, and he robbed opium. As a result, he robbed two more bags. The leader's name is Kwong. A-guang shared the extra opium with everyone when he saw the money shining. Du Yuesheng secretly handed it in after receiving it. As a result, Huang Jinrong kicked A-guang out. Then, Huang Jinrong gave Du Yuesheng a task to cut off a-guang's finger.
this is not easy. If you don't cut it, you will disobey orders and fail to make a difference. If you cut it, it will be immoral. After all, Huang Jinrong has already let others go, and doing so will make enemies for himself.
what's the matter? Students, what would you do if it were you?
Du Yuesheng came to a-guang with food and wine. After drinking a glass of wine, Du Yuesheng took out several oceans and said, This is for my brother to make travelling expenses. Of course Kwong can't have it. Du Yuesheng said if you are too few, then take my travelling expenses. Then he pulled out a few more oceans. A-guang is strange. I was kicked out. Why do you have to travel expenses?
Du Yuesheng took out an axe and put it on the table, indicating that he had received an order from Boss Huang to chop off one of your fingers. But, man, I would never do that. So I'm going to leave, too.
a-guang's brain got hot when he heard this. He grabbed an axe and cut off his finger on the spot!
"Brother, you are kind, I won't hold you back. Take your finger!"
hey, hooligans can fool, but immortals can't stop them.
With such an IQ, it is difficult for Du Yuesheng not to send it, and this person has a high EQ. For the first time in his life, he got a huge sum of money, and in one day, he gave it all to his former old friends to return the favor. He has a famous saying: "making money is not a skill, but spending money is a skill."
With his shrewdness and daring to fight, Du Yuesheng has become Huang Jinrong's confidant. Besides, Huang Jinrong loves gambling, but his way of making money is simple and rude. He just sends some brothers to the streets to see who transports opium and grabs it with a sap. After Du Yuesheng came, he started to run a company and form a joint venture, and soon he made more money than Huang Jinrong. Of course, there are many stories in the meantime, such as Shen Xingshan, the inspector who outwitted the British Concession, and Zhang Xiaolin who accepted the righteousness, etc., but it is such a thing that makes Du Yuesheng's reputation surpass that of Huang Jinrong.
There is a lover in Huang Jinrong named Lu Lanchun, an actress who sings Peking Opera, and Huang Jinrong is the only one who won the fame.
But it was a spring festival, which made Huang Jinrong stumble.
Lu Xiaojia, the son of the great warlord Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang Province, took a fancy to this Lu Lanchun. Lu Xiaojia, together with Sun Ke, the son of Sun Yat-sen, Zhang Xueliang, the son of Zhang Zuolin, and Duan Hongye, the son of Duan Qirui, are also called "Four Childes of the Republic of China"
Childes who pick up girls are all bullies. When singing in Lu Lanchun, this Lu Xiaojia was screaming and playing hooligans under the stage. As a result, Huang Jinrong's anger came up, and you dare to pick up Lao Tzu's girl? ! I immediately took my younger brother up and slapped Lu Xiaojia a few times.
It's bad luck to offend the warlord. Soon, this Lu Xiaojia and his men arrested Huang Jinrong.
After Huang Jinrong was arrested, relatives all went to intercede. For example, Zhang Xiaolin, who is the best fighter, came to the door to intercede, but Zhang Xiaolin just had a fight in the street, and it didn't work if he met an army.
this childe is so angry that he won't let people go. At this time, Du Yuesheng had to make moves.
Du Yuesheng released Lu Xiaojia with only one contract.
Du Yuesheng proposed that he, Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin raise 1 million yuan to open a' Jufeng Trading Company', specializing in tobacco business, and invite Lu Dujun to become a shareholder! You don't have to pay, you can get performance shares by hanging your name.
the tobacco business is profitable. Lu Xiaojia immediately promised for his father. Du Yuesheng said that the new company would cut the ribbon, and it would be great if the major shareholder, Mr. Huang, didn't attend.
they are all Chinese partners. Lu Xiaojia immediately promised to let people go. But Du Yuesheng didn't want to bring Huang Jinrong back like this.
Because Huang Jinrong's arrest by Lu Xiaojia has spread all over Shanghai. Hanging out, it's about face. Shanghai dialect is the platform. Take it back like this, and Huang Jinrong's table will collapse. Therefore, Du Yuesheng proposed that everyone set the table and banquet, and everyone formally shook hands.
In this way, Du Yuesheng not only saved Huang Jinrong, but also saved face for the other side.
Of course, everyone knows that Du Yuesheng has lost face in this matter. Gradually, Du Yuesheng's reputation is above that of Huang Jinrong. In the end, Du Yuesheng became the actual boss of the three tycoons in Shanghai.
By the way, this Lu Lanchun couldn't bear loneliness. While Huang Jinrong was away, he rolled up all the money of Lao Huang's family and ran away with a gigolo. This is the only time I know that Lao Huang next door ate turtles.
In fact, there are many stories about Du Yuesheng, such as the confrontation with Wang Yaqiao, the leader of the axe gang. They are also heroes.
Mr. Brain Hole won't say much. Later, Mr. Brain Hole will report to you in detail. As we all know, the prototype of Xu Wenqiang and Li Ding in Shanghai Beach is this Du Yuesheng.
Finally, introduce the endings of the three big bosses in Shanghai. During the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Xiaolin was killed by one shot because he surrendered to Japan as a traitor. It is said that it was Du Yuesheng who arranged the manual operation.
after liberation, Huang Jinrong stayed in Shanghai, worked hard to reform, and sometimes went to the street to clean up, and died at the age of 85.
Du Yuesheng went to Hongkong after liberation and died in 1951. At the age of 63.
