Du Yuesheng was known as the "Emperor of Shanghai", in that stormy, crowd-fighting Shanghai Beach, he and Jin Jinrong, Zhang Xiaolin and called the three major enjoyments of Shanghai Beach, which shows how much influence Du Yuesheng has! But people who have known Du Yuesheng should know that he is actually not very strong, and he comes from the bottom, so how did he get a foothold in Shanghai?
(Jin Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin)
In the editor's view, the reason why Du Yuesheng was able to turn his hand over to the clouds and cover his hands for rain in shanghai was largely because of this battle!
Du Yuesheng was originally an errand runner in Baoda Fruit Shop, but after being driven out by the boss, he joined Xu Shichang of the Green Gang as his subordinate. Later, with his own wisdom and merchants to collect protection fees, he gradually became famous, and his fame even overshadowed his boss Chen Shichang.
At that time, there was a sixteen-shop wharf on Shanghai Beach, and there were often merchant ships coming and going on the dock, and the goods were very valuable, so there were often some incidents of being robbed. Therefore, in order to prevent their own goods from being robbed, these merchants often hire a group of local hooligans to protect them. Coincidentally, Zhang Xiaolin, who was not powerful enough at that time, helped a Zhejiang merchant to escort the transport, because the goods were a batch of tin foil, which was relatively expensive, and he was worried that his power was not enough, so he invited Du Yuesheng, who was also famous in the sixteen shops at that time.

Perhaps the goods were too expensive, and on the day of the escort, another group of hooligans saw that the sale had oil and water fishing, and they took a group of people to rob the goods. Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin saw this posture, and immediately took a group of people and picked up the guy to meet it. Without saying a word, the two sides began to move.
One thing that needs to be mentioned is that before this, Du Yuesheng's brothers usually extorted shops for wealth, relying on wisdom rather than armed attack, so when the two sides fought, Du Yuesheng's side obviously fell into the inferior position. Seeing that the goods were about to be robbed, Du Yuesheng remembered a sentence by Chen Shichang: "No one offends me, I do not offend, and if anyone offends me, I will fight to the death." So, a rush of hot blood rushed into his heart, and he picked up an iron rod and hit the crowd.
Du Yuesheng's brain was very good, but this was the first time in a real battle, and within two clicks, his left arm was slashed hard, and blood immediately gushed out of the wound, and the blood was blurred.
However, it is precisely because of the first battle, if the first battle can not make a name for itself, then how to continue to mix in the sixteen shops in the future? As soon as he thought of this, he seemed to be crazy, and he smashed through the crowd with an iron hoop. Those little bastards didn't think so at first, but when they saw their knives slashing at him, he didn't hide, but instead smashed the iron rod at his head, they panicked, and they couldn't afford to lose their lives for other people's money, so they all became afraid, and one by one they scattered.
In the end, the goods were protected, but Du Yuesheng fell in a pool of blood, this battle, let Du Yuesheng lie on the bed for more than a month to get up and get up and go to the ground, but the misfortune and happiness relied on, after this battle, the sixteen shops in this area, everyone knows Du Yuesheng's fierceness, and Du Yuesheng launched a crazy spirit of protecting goods! Therefore, some small gangs and small gangs around them also heard the news and voted under Du Yuesheng's door.
More importantly, Du Yuesheng's reputation reached the ears of a woman named Lin Guisheng, and Lin Guisheng's husband was terrible, it was Jin Rong, the head of the Chinese hunting in the French Concession on the beach at that time, and if he stomped his feet, the hooligans in Shanghai would have to tremble. It was because of being favored by the powerful Lin Guisheng that Du Yuesheng was able to move forward in the years to come and move closer to the status of "Emperor of Shanghai"!
