In the last century, the shanghai beach was full of lights and drunken gold fans, which can be said to be a group of heroes. At that time, there were several gang forces in Shanghai Beach, especially famous such as Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin, Jin Rong, and so on, although these people shook the beach with fierce and fierce threats, but they also had to be in awe when they saw the character we are talking about today, because although the various evil forces in Shanghai Beach are all powerful, they do not have the courage to fight for their lives, he is Wang Yaqiao. With the popularity of the shanghai beach gangster force film and television drama in recent years, almost every TV series is inseparable from a group, that is, the Axe Gang, and Wang Yaqiao is the founder of the Axe Gang.
Wang Yaqiao, zi jiuguang, born on February 14, 1889 in Modian Township, Hefei, Anhui Province, has been brilliant since childhood, loves to read, and ranked in the top ten in the examination of the imperial examination at the end of the Qing Dynasty. He was born in a peasant family, the family is poor, because his father defaulted on the landlord's rent, he was beaten several times by the landlord, and his father instead asked for wine to compensate. Because Wang Yaqiao was not accustomed to the rich and unkind to the rich from an early age, and hated the Qing court officials for squeezing the people, his only ambition from then on was to kill the rich and help the poor. In 1921, because of his good speech and rich organizational ability, Wang Yaqiao took over the Anhui Brigade shanghai hometown association from Yu Chengge, because he had a strong appeal, and Anhui workers joined the association one after another, with a number of up to 100,000 people. Once, when the capitalists refused to pay the workers, Wang Yaqiao was furious when he heard about this, and immediately asked people to go to the blacksmith shop to build more than a hundred axes. In this way, it became the axe gang that people talked about later, and even the leaders of the Green Gang at that time, Jin Rong and Du Yuesheng, had to be afraid of three points.
At that time, under the leadership of Wang Yaqiao, the axe helped Wei Zhen to the beach, because he was good at assassinating corrupt officials, and people gave him a nickname of "The King of Assassination", because he was not accustomed to Chiang Kai-shek's ruthless killing of revolutionary volunteers, he had assassinated Kuomintang party and government officials many times. At that time, there was a folk saying, "Chiang Kai-shek mentioned Wang Yaqiao, and his false teeth were sour." When Dai Kasa heard him, his first reaction was to see if the doors and windows were closed and if there was anyone under the bed. Wang Jingwei's three ribs were broken alive by him. Even the famous gangster tycoon on the beach at that time took a detour when he saw him. "Wang Yaqiao is not only a chivalrous man who eliminates violence and peace, but he is also a patriot. After the September 18 incident, Zhang Xueliang lost the northeast to Shanghai Beach to recuperate, temporarily living in Du Yuesheng Mansion, Du Yuesheng in order to show that he lived in the Shanghai Beach cover, said: "In Shanghai Beach, no matter what trouble you encounter, just give me a phone call, but Du Yuesheng added a sentence after saying this, when you meet Wang Yaqiao, you must be careful." ”
After Zhang Xueliang stayed at Du Yuesheng's mansion, he received a bomb with a fuse removed, and asked Du Yuesheng to relay three suggestions to Zhang Xueliang, "Either reorganize the soldiers and horses and return to the northeast to resist Japan; if there is no war, commit suicide to thank the people of the country; if you do not want to die in battle, then donate all your property to help the anti-Japanese volunteer army outside the pass." "These three points let Zhang Xueliang make a choice, otherwise I will sanction you on behalf of the people." Du Yuesheng was well aware of Wang Yaqiao's strength and advised Zhang Xueliang to leave so as not to be assassinated, and soon Zhang Xueliang was afraid to leave. In 1932, the Japanese launched the "128 Incident", and between the armistices, senior Japanese officials went to Shanghai to hold the "Songhu War Victory Conference" on the day of the "Tianchang Festival" (the birthday of the Japanese Emperor). Celebrating victory on Chinese soil, Wang Yaqiao was furious and began planning assassinations. Japan opened the "Day of Victory in the Songhu War" in Hongkou Park in Shanghai, and just as the Japanese dignitaries were talking about their excitement on the stage, suddenly the thermos under the stage exploded, killing and injuring more than a dozen military and political leaders, and Japanese Army General Shirakawa Yoshinori was among them. The original lively celebration immediately turned into a bloody "corpse" field, and Wang Yaqiao received the title of "the first killer of the Republic of China", but the Japanese used to call him "the devil".
