introduction
Du Yuesheng also has a good side. After the Lugou Bridge Incident on July 7, 1937, he actively participated in the Anti-Enemy Support Association and prepared materials for the Eighth Route Army and other anti-Japanese troops. In addition, he was also highly praised by his secretary-general for his kindness to the deposed president Li Yuanhong, who said: "Three thousand guests under the Chunshen Gate, five feet south of Xiaodu City."
Throughout his growth process, from a small embarrassment, the Ten Mile Ocean Field was mixed up by him, and finally became the "biggest gang boss" in Shanghai. Unlike other gangsters, he has more labels of patriots, modern industrialists, and local celebrities.
Despite this, the impression of posterity on him is still "Shanghai Beach Gangster", "Rogue Tycoon" and so on. After all, his start is not much "brilliant", with a very deep gang background. At the age of 14, he joined the Golden Rong Mansion and became a proud subordinate of Golden Rong with his unique way of doing things and style. Under Jin Rong's arrangement, he once collaborated with others to monopolize the leasing and delivery of opium from other parts of Shanghai.
Like other big men, Du Yuesheng also had three wives and four concubines. Shen Yueying, Chen Shueying, Sun Peihao, Yao Yulan and Meng Xiaodong are all recorded women he has married, and there are more lovers included. There were not many people, and one of the original wives was out of the wall because he could not stand the loneliness, which made him feel undignified. In order to wash away the shame and prevent such incidents from happening, he made a cruel move to make other women restrain themselves.
First, although it is a marriage, it is also a couple in distress
Born on August 22, 1888 in Chuansha, Jiangsu Province (now Pudong New Area, Shanghai), Du Yuesheng was able to become independent and self-reliant from an early age due to excessive poverty in his family, and went to the Shanghai Concession to earn a living before he was a minor.
Old Shanghai Beach is a mix of fish and gangs, and many outlaws, speculators and politicians in the lower wilderness have developed here. Without a strong family background, and without good connections and interpersonal circles, Du Yuesheng can only try to show herself.
At the age of 14, he was famous and was accepted as a younger brother by the Golden Rong Mansion. At that time, Jin Rong was one of the most powerful "gang bosses" in Shanghai Beach, and after joining Jin Rong's camp, Du Yuesheng's life trajectory also changed.
With fierce means, a bold way of doing things, and a high ability to grasp power, his circle of communication and people gradually spread, and finally became Jin Rong's right-hand man. At that time, in addition to worshiping their sons and recognizing their brothers, the marriage of blood was also an important link that brought them together.
Shen Yueying is the daughter of the combing aunt of The Original Lady of Golden Rong, because Golden Rong values Du Yuesheng very much, so the Huang family acts as a medium to marry Shen Yueying to Du Yuesheng, in order to win Du Yuesheng's heart. Although Shen Yueying is not related to the Golden Rong Family, she is also a member of the Huang Family, so her status is still quite noble.
After marrying Shen Yueying, Du Yuesheng's career gradually flourished, and his status in Shanghai Beach was continuously improved. Before becoming the "biggest gang boss" in Shanghai Beach, Shen Yueying has been accompanying Du Yuesheng through various frightening days. Infertile, the two adopted an adopted son named Du Weifan. His arrival has made Du Yuesheng's career smooth sailing.
Therefore, Du has always regarded him as his own, and he is even more fond of Shen Yueying.
Shen Yueying does not know how to communicate and is not fierce enough, but she has been silently paying for Du Yuesheng and is not worried about being chased and killed by competitors because she accompanies him. So, for a long time, they were both afflicted couples.
However, with the improvement of Du Yuesheng's status, cracks also appeared in the feelings between them.
Second, gradually be snubbed and derailed in the fall
After his departure, Du Yuesheng's living habits and concepts also changed. At that time, successful people had at least three wives and four concubines, otherwise they could not hang on to their faces. As the time of displacement on the occasion of the wind and moon increased, he met Chen Shuiying, who was only 15 years old and earned money with part-time dancers, and fell in love with him at first sight, and has been secretly associating with him.
Out of respect for Shen Yueying and his reverence for Jin Jinrong, he took the initiative to win Shen Yueying's opinion and said that he would marry Chen Yueying as his aunt with her consent. Shen Yueying saw that it was inevitable for Du Yuesheng to marry other women to enter the door, so she did not object.
Chen Shueying became Du Yuesheng's aunt and gave birth to three children for him, which was deeply loved by him. However, she has a strong and resolute personality, and is the only one of Du Yuesheng's many wives who dares to confront him, so later the feelings of the two also split, and her old age was very miserable.
In any case, since marrying the first aunt, Du Yuesheng could not stop marrying more aunts. His love for Shen Yueying also became less and less, and finally reached the state of snub.
Watching Du Yuesheng stay in the rooms of other aunts and wives all day, or often go in and out of places with many women, Shen Yueying gradually became indifferent to the feelings between husband and wife, and then simply ignored them. The depressed mood of not being able to excrete accumulated more and more, and under the temptation of others, she also contracted the drugs that Du Yuesheng had been dealing with, became an addict, and lay in the room all day smoking.
As the days went on, the smoke gradually eroded her body, making her strange and yellow-skinned, like a living zombie. Du Yuesheng was powerless against her depravity, and did not want to take care of it, so she simply indulged herself.
Without her husband's care for many years, even the smoke could not relieve her depression and loneliness. One night, she finally couldn't resist walking into the room of her cousin Fu Fanglin, who had been brought out of the countryside, and joined him.
After the first appearance, the two could no longer close, and Fu Fanglin became her outlet for excretion and loneliness. Since Du Yuesheng did not pay attention to her situation for a long time, the matter between them remained undetected for a long time.
However, there is no paper window in the world that cannot be broken, and the two are eventually caught.
Third, in order to maintain his dignity, Du Yuesheng could only give a fierce hand
Du Yuesheng did not pay attention to Shen Yueying, but the concubine Yao Yulan, who had just married into the door, stared at everyone up and down the Du family, first, to understand the specific situation of the Du family, so as to gain an advantage in the process of competing for favors; second, to find "allies" and not to be bullied in the Du family.
However, Yao Yulan had not yet fully grasped the situation of the Du family, and had already clearly understood the secret affair between Shen Yueying and Fu Fanglin. In order to eliminate competitors as soon as possible, Yao Yulan directly leaked everything she saw to Du Yuesheng.
Du Yuesheng did not show emotion, but asked Yao Yulan not to leak the secret affair to others, and also told her to forget everything she saw. Seeing that there was no action, less than a few days later, Du Yuesheng began to give Shen Yueying and Fu Fanglin a cruel hand.
Once, Shen Yueying and Fu Fanglin took an unlicensed car to the outskirts of the city to steal an affair. After Du Yuesheng learned the news, he directly drove the car over, and let people crash the car into the vehicle where the two people were, and the vehicle was scrapped.
However, the two did not die in the crushing and impact of the car, Shen Yueying was slightly injured, and Fu Fanglin was amputated due to his injuries and became disabled. Du Yuesheng did not directly beat Shen Yueying to death, but locked her up. During this time, he also cut off her food and only provided her with some opium every day. In desperation, she died of an overdose of opium.
After that, Du Yuesheng poked one of the blind driver's eyes and allowed Fu Fanglin, who was already disabled, to fend for himself. Everything he did was seen by the other aunts, and no one dared to cheat after that.
epilogue
Du Yuesheng is a famous "gang boss" in Shanghai Beach in the last century, when he first began to mix in the rivers and lakes, he was just a small person with no power and no power, but due to excellent opportunities and superb power skills, he climbed all the way up and became another gang leader after Jin Rong. Unlike other small gangsters, although he was attached to warlords and high-ranking Officials of the Kuomintang, he refused bribes and surrenders from the Japanese, actively participated in the anti-Japanese resistance, and was a veritable patriot.
In the process of personal development, his dark means hurt the people of the country, but in the face of the aggressor, he did not give in, and sided with the country, indicating that he was a respectable person. However, judging from the means of handling household chores, he is not a fuel-saving lamp.
