Later, he held a beauty contest to raise money for the victims, so as to restore his reputation and status in Shanghai. Things were going smoothly, but he didn't expect that the plan would fall through because of the wrong person. Before we know this matter, we need to know someone first. He is Wan Du's big housekeeper.
Wan is the red man in front of Du. In Du's eyes, he is not a servant, but his brother. Because of this reckless trust, Wan became the housekeeper of Du family. After the Anti-Japanese War, Wan has been pretending to be an underground worker, and soon he was promoted to be the chairman of the rice trade union, directly in charge of Shanghai's grain industry. For countries that have just been invaded, food is the most important material, more precious than steel. Wan's move undoubtedly controlled the economic lifeline. Of course, there is support behind Du.
It is said that Du's Jianghu is declining at this time. As early as 1943, after the French Concession bid farewell to the history of China, Du's Jianghu status plummeted. Wan was appointed as the director of the rice trade union for his own future plan and to minimize the risk. At that time, because the national government had no scruples about issuing coins, the legal tender depreciated on a large scale. 1937, the number of legal tender issued was only1400 million, but after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, this number soared to 500 billion. Currency depreciation, scarcity of materials and rising food prices are even more terrible than today's housing prices. Wan thought he could help Du make a fortune this time, but this move aroused public outrage in Shanghai at that time? Overthrow Wan and oppose Du? Wave. Du Yuesheng? Rebirth? This strategy is a complete failure.
Seeing that his future life in Shanghai may be difficult, Du actually survived at this time, and his position was shaken, so he concentrated on making money. So he indulged Wan's misbehavior. 1948, an important event happened in Shanghai press, which once again pushed Du to the forefront.
1July 948, the last years of the Kuomintang in Shanghai. On this day, several big characters suddenly appeared on the front pages of major newspapers in Shanghai. Wan was arrested? The person who personally arrested him was Xuan, director of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau. This makes people wonder: although Du's position is different now, the thin camel is bigger than the horse. How dare a small police chief touch his people? People have a vague feeling that something big will happen on the beach.
Xuan dare not move the name of a small public security bureau chief. The man standing behind him is Chiang Kai-shek. It is said that Xuan became a first-phase student of Huangpu in 1924, during which he had a very good relationship with Chiang Kai-shek's eldest son and was as close as brothers. With this relationship, Xuan was more loyal to Chiang Kai-shek and had no second thoughts. The book "Chiang Kai-shek's Last Days in the Mainland" clearly points out that at the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek was actually wary of Dai Li. However, the good relationship between Du and Dai can be said to be an interdependent relationship. Dai Li's military system played a great role in Chiang Kai-shek's early days, but gradually there was friction between the military system and the central system.
As we all know, military unification is mainly to eliminate discipline in the army, and central unification is the discipline inspection organization within the Kuomintang. In the hands of the military government, Dai Li can do whatever he wants, which is followed by his strong prestige in the army. At that time, there was a saying in the national army: Would you rather offend the chairman than the devil? . Because of this, Chiang Kai-shek began to be wary of Dai Li.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek secretly organized a five-member team in Chongqing, including Xuan, Hu Zongnan and others, but without Dai Li. Chiang Kai-shek's intentions are obvious. On the surface, it is to calm the contradiction between the military and the central government, but in fact it is to indirectly check and balance and weaken Dai Li's power. Chiang Kai-shek arranged for all four members of the five-member team, leaving only Xuan. Finally, Chiang Kai-shek asked him to be the director of the Shanghai police station, which is more important than the rich and ordinary mayor of Shanghai. The position of Xuanwu Iron in Chiang Kai-shek's mind is self-evident.
After Xuan came to power, the subordinates he chose did not belong to the central government or the military. But in order to perfunctory Dai Li, or arranged a sinecure for the military. Although Dai Li was already dead when Wan was later arrested, it was a means for Chiang Kai-shek to warn the military by propaganda. Seeing his own people arrested by the police, Du began to feel puzzled. However, at this time, boss Du was already riding a tiger and began to fight back passively.
He first used public opinion control to release information to the outside world. The rise in food prices is not his own responsibility or Wan's, but the influence after the war. Then he began to play tricks with Xuan, preparing to find a doctor to open a false certificate and let Wan Bao go outside for medical treatment, otherwise it would be run. If you don't say that Xuan is a red man in front of Chiang Kai-shek, he is definitely more powerful than Du's operatives. He's not going to kill Wan, plus Du? Brilliant plan? Finally, Wan was released. Xuanwutie declared in the newspaper? Wan was seriously ill and chose to seek medical treatment on parole. ? Of course, after this incident, Du's plan to make a comeback was completely ruined, and he became one of Chiang Kai-shek's tools to weaken the military system. In a sense, if Du didn't indulge Wan's misbehavior, would it be him? Rebirth? This plan can't fail yet
You can say that you ruined Du's plan to make a comeback, or you can say that Du personally ruined his return to glory. Since then, Shanghai's economy has not improved because of the existence of Xuantiewu, but inflation has become more serious. However, this confrontation between Xuan Tiewu and Du Fu has been passed down to this day.
