As we all know, in the history of various countries, there have been many shadows of gangsters, such as the Italian mafia, Japan's Yamaguchi group, etc., and China's history is no exception, China's most famous gangster is the old Shanghai Beach Qing gang, the predecessor of the Green Gang is the branch of Hongmen, and later for some reasons and independence, it has since become the first major gang in Shanghai Beach.
Mention the Qing Gang, it is necessary to mention a very expressive figure by the way, he is Du Yuesheng, Du Yuesheng was born in Chuansha, Jiangsu Province in 1888, his parents died one after another at the age of four, he was brought up by his stepmother and uncle, but later because of the disappearance of his stepmother, he came out alone at a very young age, and joined the Qing Gang by chance.
Because of his clever mind and diligent work, Du Yuesheng soon received the attention of Jin Rong, coupled with the intentional cultivation of the boss lady Lin Guisheng, Du Yuesheng gradually grew into the real power leader of the Green Gang, in him, you may not see some of the temperament of the hooligans, and boss Du in his later years seems to be more like a teacher.
In 1925, Du Yuesheng and Lin Guisheng co-founded the Sanxin Company, monopolizing the entire opium smuggling business in Shanghai Beach, and at the same time he also opened a casino, Du Yuesheng used to be a gambler, others gambled to win money, Du Yuesheng won money by gambling, he often lost more and won less, even if he won, he would distribute the money to his brothers and let them eat a good meal.
At that time, because Du Yuesheng was very good at being a person, the celebrities of the whole Shanghai Beach liked to go to his casino to gamble money, just as Boss Du often said: When the money is spent, the friendship cannot be spent", because the Qinggang monopolized the opium and gambling industry on the beach at that time, which caused the jealousy of the triad, so the triad often went to Du Yuesheng's casino to smash the yard, and once threw explosives, which was not enough, and even tied Du Yuesheng's men to ask for money, which directly annoyed Du Yuesheng, in the face of the triad's blatant provocation, he only said 8 words "In seven days, there will be no more triads."
In this way, a vigorous gang purge activity began, as long as it was a person who dared to make trouble in the casino, he would be caught directly and then tied up and thrown into the Huangpu River, and the triad's stronghold in Shanghai Beach at that time was all served in a pot, and the boss of the triad also mysteriously disappeared, and in just four days, the triad evaporated from Shanghai Beach.
Du Yuesheng's move this time is not only to eliminate the triad, but also to silence this Shanghai beach gangster force, in fact, this is the true face of the gangster, as long as you do not provoke him, there is still room for discussion, for example, Du Yuesheng spent a lot of money every year to help many folk revolutionary righteous, even Li Yuanhong once described Du Yuesheng: Three thousand guests under the Chunshen Gate, five feet south of Du Cheng, what do you think about this legendary big man?
