After liberation, only Jin Jinrong, the "three tycoons" of the Qing Gang, stayed in Shanghai, why did he not move him?
In the 1920s and 1930s, the "Three Tycoons" of the Green Gang were the strongest and most influential gangster gang in Shanghai Beach. However, as the world changed, they all eventually came to the end of the road.
As early as the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Xiaolin, one of the "Three Tycoons", was assassinated by the Chongqing side for colluding with Japan. After the liberation of Shanghai, Du Yuesheng knew that his sins were serious and fled to Hong Kong in a hurry. Only Jin Rong remained in Shanghai. After that, he did not move. Why?
The first tycoon of the Green Gang
Jin Jinrong (1868-1953), also known as Jinyong, nicknamed Mapi Jinrong, was born in Yuyao, Zhejiang, and later became the elder of the Qinggang reform.
He did not like to read since childhood, worked as a framer, and later worked as a fast catcher in the Yamen of Shanghai County for a while, often associating with hooligans. At that time, the concession was often harassed, and the French consul general in Shanghai decided to recruit 120 Chinese to patrol. The 22-year-old Jin Rong decided to try his luck.
The General Patrol House of the French Concession took a fancy to Jin Rong's strong body and was quickly hired. Since then, after following the French patrol, Jin Rong has collected "land donation" and "house donation" door to door, and booked the house number of the concession.
During this time, Jin Rong participated in the suppression of reluctant farmers, grave owners and small proprietors who protested against the donation. Promoted from Huayu to "cheap", that is, to pack inquiries. Jin Rong's brain is quite active, he used the "black eat black" and "one yard gram one yard" technique, snared a number of "three light codes", habitual thieves, habitual thieves, habitual deceitful elements have provided him with intelligence, cracked many cases.
In addition, he also created the illusion of thieves shouting to catch thieves to increase his prestige: across the street from the French patrol house, a salty goods store had disappeared.
The boss heard that Jin Rong cracked the case "aura". So he went to the patrol room and directly named Jin Rong to solve the case. Who knows, without waiting for Jin Rong to run out of the patrol room, a group of small people knocked on the gong and drum to send the sign back. This play, which was planned and directed by Jin Jinrong behind the scenes, made him famous.
The real origin of Jin Rong was the rescue of the clerk Officiant Verti and his wife, the Consul General of France, who were kidnapped by bandits on their tour of Taihu Lake. The golden rong fate of the little minions found the Taihu bandits "Taibao ASI" and "Pig Ami" and easily bailed out the "French Meat Ticket".
The French Patrol House promoted Jin Rong to the position of the only Chinese inspector general, and sent eight Annan inspectors to serve as bodyguards. Since then, Jin Rong has become more flappy and bold, and has become a local hegemon. At its peak, it had more than a thousand disciples.
However, they have done all kinds of criminal deeds, and they have also served as pawns of the Kuomintang, and have done many things that are not conducive to our party in the open and in the dark.
Tie your hands and wait for "death"
On May 27, 1949, Shanghai was liberated. Winning more with less is another beautiful talk of the Shanghai Liberation War, but at this time, there are also some people who are happy and some who are sad.
At this moment, Jin Rong is like an ant on a hot pot, and at the age of 81, he is reluctant to go to Taiwan with Jiang, but because of all the bad deeds he has done before, he is full of fear for our party. However, our Party did not embarrass him.
After the founding of New China, everything was in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt, and the people's government had to deal with more than a thousand things. Jin Rong also had a period of peace and ease.
At the beginning of 1951, the days of Golden Glory began to be sad. Citizens spontaneously rushed to the door of the Yellow House and demanded that he come out to accept "criticism-comment". Letters of accusation and denunciation flew into the municipal government and public security organs like snowflakes, imploring the government to be the master and avenge the people.
Yang Hu, an old friend of Jin Rong and former commander of the Songhu garrison, said to him: "As long as you don't do bad things now and make your position clear, it will not be difficult for you." This sentence gave Jin Rong a shot in the arm.
To show his attitude, Jin Rong wrote a report on the Kuomintang's property and a roster of gang leaders, and then took off the plaque written by Chiang himself and smashed it. This seems to be a show, but it is actually a retreat left by Jin Rong for himself.
After that, he stayed at home all day in the wandering, waiting for "death".
Why not move Golden Rong?
The above has not been touched by the golden glory. At first, the masses did not understand this way of dealing with it. They don't understand why this mischievous leader of the Green Gang can still be left to this day.
In fact, on the eve of the liberation of Shanghai, the central authorities already had a clear policy on how to do their work well and for our use, that is, as long as they did not come out to make trouble, did not interfere with the social order after the liberation of Shanghai, and honestly accepted the transformation, they would not be moved.
Especially for gang leaders such as Jin Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, the above questions about the masses also gave specific explanations:
"As long as they keep to themselves, we will not move them and observe them for a period of time."
"Such a person had a certain position and power in society at that time, and if we did not move him, we were paving the way for order and stability in Shanghai."
This explains why After the liberation of Shanghai, it has not moved The Golden Rong.
On June 20, 1953, Jin Jinrong died at the Huang Mansion in Shanghai at the age of 85.
