Zhang Binglin is a revolutionary in the cultural circles and a culturalist in the revolutionary party, but he is called "Zhang Crazy", because he has a scale in his heart that weighs the hearts and minds of the people of the world, so he is quite cynical.
The Guangxu Emperor was scolded by him as a "clown".
Kang Youwei lived a birthday, and Zhang Binglin sent a couplet: "The country will die, and it is for the old to not die." Kang Youwei was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Yuan Shikai was proclaimed emperor, and Zhang Binglin used the second-class medal given by Yuan as a pendant for the folding fan, and then made a fuss at the presidential palace, and scolded Yuan for "not only the rebellion of the Republic of China, but also the sinner of the cleansing room", Yuan was angry again, and did not move him in the slightest.
Of course, Zhang Binglin also scolded Mr. Sun... The reason why he quit the League was because of his disagreement with Mr. Sun.
However, the scolding of Zhang Binglin, a highly skilled "Zhang Madman", admired Du Yuesheng, who was born in the jianghu and was illiterate, which was quite puzzling.
Could it be that Du Yuesheng's doing things for people is even higher than that of Kang, Yuan, Sun and others?
Du Yuesheng and Jin Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin once crisscrossed in Shanghai for a while, but the evaluation of the three of them was different, Jin Jinrong was rated as loving money, Zhang Xiaolin was evaluated as a good fighter, and Du Yuesheng was evaluated as a person.
Du Yuesheng's ability to be a man has almost become the consensus of everyone in that era.
He was born at the bottom of society, died at the age of 3, died his father at the age of 5, and disappeared from his stepmother who was dependent on him at the age of 8.
He was exiled to Shanghai, working hard, but desperately squandering and indulging, once his life was hanging on the line, but fortunately he was rescued by his aunt in a mess, and then he was introduced into the Golden Rong Mansion by huang Zhenyi, the "grandfather" of the Qing Gang, which was able to rise rapidly.
However, his rise is also inseparable from the three things of yellow, gambling, and poison, but he has a broader ideal in his heart, so he will continue to wash himself after the rise, and want to break away from the rivers and lakes and jump into the temple, for this ideal, he has done more than three things -
One is to give up the underworld business as much as possible, and then extend your hand to the legitimate business, such as the financial industry.
The second is to do more good deeds, contribute to the country, and change a good reputation.
The third is to make friends with celebrities from all walks of life such as military, political, and cultural circles, and weave for themselves a "human network" that covers almost all industries and fields of society.
Du Yuesheng is very good at making money, but in fact he is more able to spend money, he once said: "Others save money, I save friendship." "Exchanging money for other people's friendships is definitely a good value for money for Du Yuesheng."
Of course, Du Yuesheng used money to open up friendship, but with sincerity to maintain friendship, he is a very simple person, either do not make friends with you, or sincerely make friends with you, this is his personality charm, but also so many people respect him a reason that can not be ignored.
Therefore, from President Li Yuanhong to the mire of "Xiao Fu San" Dai Kasa, he can make sincere friends.
Li Yuanhong, in order to reward Du Yuesheng with the grace of shelter, asked the secretary general to send him a couplet: "Three thousand guests under the Chunshen Gate, disinfect the five feet south of the city." ”
Dai Kasa also remembered Du Yuesheng's urgent "grace of one meal" throughout his life.
Zhang Binglin, as a celebrity in the cultural circles, is also a revolutionary of the "Sun Huang" generation, although his career is not satisfactory, his status is still respected, and for making friends with Zhang Binglin, Du Yuesheng can be said to have thought about it for a long time, but he is confined to no way.
However, what Du Yuesheng did not expect was that Zhang Binglin took the initiative to "send it to the door" himself.
Zhang Binglin had a nephew living in the French Concession in Shanghai, and later had a dispute with someone, which could not be resolved for a while, and he was afraid of the identity background of the other party, so he thought of Zhang Binglin.
Put in another place, Zhang Binglin said a word, maybe everyone will sell him a little face, but it happened in Shanghai, and in the middle of the lease, Zhang's hand could not reach in, what to do? He suddenly thought of Du Yuesheng, who had become famous in the jianghu at this time, so he wrote a letter to Du and asked him to help.
Du Yuesheng received Zhang's letter, it was like a treasure, after helping Zhang Binglin's nephew solve the trouble, he also took the opportunity to take this as a breakthrough, personally went to Suzhou to visit Zhang Binglin, after a conversation, Zhang Binglin found that Du Yuesheng was frank and sincere, wearing a long shirt, and elegant and courteous, and his perception of Du Yuesheng suddenly changed, and Zhang and Du made friends.
After that, whenever Zhang Binglin encountered economic difficulties, Du Yuesheng would always send money in a timely manner, and Zhang also knew that Du was a person, so he did not politely subordinate, which showed the depth of Zhang and Du's friendship.
Du Yuesheng sent money, but there was no copper smell, sincere and frank, which was one of the reasons why Zhang Binglin praised Du Yuesheng.
In addition, the reason why Zhang Binglin admired Du Yuesheng so much was also because of Du Yuesheng's integrity.
On January 28, 1932, in order to invade Shanghai, the economic capital, and thus attempt to control the economic lifeline of the Nationalist government, Japan suddenly attacked Cai Tingkai's 19th Route Army stationed in Shanghai, provoking the "128 Songhu War of Resistance".
At that time, in order to be able to capture Shanghai as soon as possible, the Japanese also formulated a plan, sending a part of the Japanese army to borrow the French concession and go around to the right rear flank of Cai Tingkai, catching him by surprise.
After Du Yuesheng learned of this, he quickly told Cai Tingkai and Wu Tiecheng the news, and then in order to try to sabotage their plans before Japan implemented the plan, he organized a meeting of consuls of various countries Chinese to discuss the matter. Although you have passed this bill, I Du Yuesheng have one sentence to say: As long as the bill is passed, I ask the Japanese army to drive as far as possible, and foreign friends will not leave me Du Yuesheng will destroy the concession within two hours! We all die here together! ”
This was said harshly enough, but no one doubted whether he could do it, so the matter of Japan borrowing the French Concession could only be stopped.
Du Yuesheng's conspiracy to break Japan with one person can be described as magnificent, and Zhang Binglin heard about it, how could he not marvel at it?
In 1937, Du Yuesheng performed another feat, repeatedly refusing to be bribed by the Japanese for 30 million, fleeing Shanghai under the eyes of Japanese agents, getting rid of the control of the Japanese, and then pouring out his family resources to contribute to the country.
Unfortunately, at this time, Zhang Binglin has passed away, otherwise it would definitely be another violent exaggeration.
In short, Du Yuesheng's personality and integrity are respected by people, so he can be praised by Zhang Binglin, who treats people harshly.
