The golden scales are the things in the pool, and they turn into dragons when they encounter the wind and clouds. In the early 1920s, Du Yuesheng had just emerged in the Shanghai Youth Gang and was arranged by Jin Jinrong to manage the "Gongxing Club" in the French Concession.
One day,
In the club, there was a little with excellent gambling skills, because he was suspected of out of the old thousand, and he saw that he was beaten by the group, but he pointed out that he wanted to see Du Yuesheng by name.
Du Yuesheng saw that the man was not tall, thin in size, but he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was full of heroism, and he immediately became curious.
Let him perform card skills, he "a fierce operation like a tiger", impressed the audience. Du Yuesheng asked him why he wanted to see himself.
The other person said,
In the first two years, he worked at the "Shanghai Stock Exchange", got to know Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Jitao, and recognized Dai Jitao as his "uncle".
Now, that exchange is closed, so I want to make a living at the casino.
Du Yuesheng was shocked in his heart and sighed darkly: "Good fellow, a bit of a doorway!" After some questions and answers, he found that his background was quite similar to his own, and he immediately became a brother with him.
Later, the "little bastard" decided to return to his hometown to develop, and Du Yuesheng immediately gave him 200 oceans and a ferry ticket.
People around do not understand Du Yuesheng's "confused behavior", but Du Yuesheng said: Money is in his own hands, sooner or later he must spend it, let it become a "friendship", exist in friends, but can be saved for a long time, why not enjoy it. afterward
This "little bastard" got alongside Chiang Kai-shek, and he was Dai Kasa of the Military Command Bureau. After becoming the person in charge of the military command, Dai Kasa also helped Du Yuesheng a lot, and people gradually knew Du Yuesheng's original cleverness!
First, why Du Yuesheng helped Dai Kasa
Du Yuesheng was born in 1888 in Chuansha, Jiangsu Province, because his birthday is the fifteenth ghost festival of July in the lunar calendar, so he is called Yuesheng. After becoming famous, Zhang Taiyan, a scholar of the Republic of China, personally changed his name to Du Yong (杜镛), the character Yuesheng ( 月笙).
Du Yuesheng's childhood life was very bumpy, he worked as an apprentice in a fruit shop at the age of 16, and the level of pear cutting was slightly equal to the current "net red". Later, he joined the Green Gang, was appreciated by Jin Rong, and quickly became popular.
Dai Kasa is a few years younger than Du Yuesheng, and like Du Yuesheng, he has the experience of losing his father at an early age. Du Yuesheng's parents died at an early age and he was an orphan. Although Dai Kasa's mother was alive, because he was the eldest son in the family, he was also overwhelmed by the burden of supporting the family.
Dai Kasa said to himself after his hair: From 6 to 16 years old, he was whipped by his mother for ten years. Memorize the "Three Character Classic" and learn the "Thousand Character Text", read it diligently, and achieve small successes in a year.
Before Gao Xiao, Dai Kasa read quite smoothly, but later he fell into the vice of the casino.
Dai Kasa's heart is very conflicted, he gambles for excitement, originally to escape the pressure of survival. But at the same time, he had to face reality. So he kept drilling camps and tried his best to make friends with the powerful.
Because his ancestors were once squires, Dai Kasa understood the principle that "people rely on clothing", and even in the most depressed moments, he also paid great attention to grooming.
When he went from the countryside to Shanghai to work, he initially had only one coat on his body. He often put it on during the day and went to the river at night to wash it and put it on a rock to dry. I slept by the river and waited for the next day when my clothes dried up and I continued to wear them.
Later, when he went to Guangzhou to attend the Whampoa Military Academy, it was also because of washing clothes that he met Hu Zongnan.
Before Du Yuesheng was young, he obviously lived even harder than Dai Kasa. He has been running the rivers and lakes and living a precarious life. For the pain in Dai Kasa's heart, he was actually able to empathize. It's just that Du Yuesheng helped Dai Kasa, not because of sympathy, he still had more long-term plans.
When Du Yuesheng was young, he only attended private school for half a year, but he learned a lot of truths on the bumpy road of life. The experience of running the rivers and lakes told him that in the society, it depends on "acquaintances".
Today he helped a small role, and it is difficult to ensure that the small role will not be a big person in the future. Even if he can't become a big person, there is no loss for Du Yuesheng.
Therefore, Du Yuesheng has always been known for "fighting righteousness and neglecting wealth" in the Green Gang.
2. The relationship between Du Yuesheng and the Jiang and Kong families
Du Yuesheng lived a life of "knife head licking blood", so his life has been in danger. From the age of nineteen to the age of nineteen to replace the golden rong, for more than twenty years, he made friends from all over the world, and all the three religions and nine streams were snared by him. Once upon a time, when Jin Rong was the boss, he was a Hua inspector under the French. Later, when he became bigger, he did not put foreigners and warlords under his eyes, and as a result, he suffered a big loss.
Du Yuesheng learned the lesson of Jin Rong and understood that if he mixed in this path, in addition to his own political career and becoming the Hua Dong of the Ministry of Works and Bureau of the French Concession, he also had to know people in the military circles. Therefore, he had his eye on Chiang Kai-shek very early.
Du Weishan was the son of Du Yuesheng and the fourth lady Yao Yulan,
Du Weishan said: Du Yuesheng formed a friendship with the Jiang and Kong families very early. At first, she asked her mother, Yao Yulan, to believe in Christianity and make friends with Song Meiling.
Yao Yulan is a "female old student" of Shanghai Beach Peking Opera in the 1920s. Best at imitation. Later, she worshipped Kong Xiangxi's wife Song Xialing as her mother. In order to gain the favor of the other party, not only learn her to believe in religion, learn her speech, and even learn how she walks.
However, despite this, Du Yuesheng still maintained a non-humble attitude in front of Jiang and Kong.
His business was particularly large, and he befriended both our Party and the Kuomintang. While helping the government suppress the workers, they also worked hard to resist Japan and show national integrity.
People sometimes feel vague about his position.
When Shanghai fell, in response to the Nationalist government's anti-Japanese claims, Du Yuesheng was the first to order the steamship company to blow up ships and seal the river. He also donated money and planes to save the country, and also planned the assassination of the traitor Zhang Xiaolin. However, at the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, when there was a shortage of materials in Shanghai, Du Yuesheng could not resist smuggling and making a fortune for the country.
Later, the Kong Xiangxi family also intervened, and there was a little contradiction between the two families. This time
Dai Kasa ran to Shanghai to inquire about smuggling matters, during which he cooperated with Du Yuesheng and helped him a lot. At this time, people also knew that Du Yuesheng had sent Dai Kasa 200 oceans and ferry tickets when they first met!
epilogue
In Lao Tzu, it is said: Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are wise. The winner is strong, and the self-victor is strong.
Du Yuesheng's wise eyes recognized Dai Kasa, and he really saw it accurately. However, in Du Yuesheng's life, there are also many times when "looking away", but we just don't know.
Du Yuesheng has "clear eyes" to recognize people, but what is stronger is that he has self-knowledge.
Once, he said to his friend: You are a carp, and one jump on the dragon gate changes your life. Even if you fail, you can still make carp back. But I'm different, I'm just a loach. Without success, I was still a loach.
So he has been like a spider, making webs everywhere, refusing to let go of any chance of predation. Make friends with everyone he thinks is worth making friends with.
