He was a bandit, more powerful than Zhang Zuolin, who had fought against Tsarist Russia, and Zhang Zuolin designed to cut off his head
Zhang Zuolin could become the king of the northeast, which was only after he was recruited by the Qing court, before which he was just a big bandit who occupied the mountain as the king. If he had been a bandit, he would certainly not have become the king of the Northeast. At that time, there were many bandits in the northeast region, zhang Zuolin was not the most powerful bandit, there was a person whose strength was greater than his, that is, Du Lisan.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Du Lisan was already very famous, he was a Tianjin native, at the age of 12, he followed his father to the northeast to eat a meal, and then became a bandit. His father was betrayed by his brother and finally killed, and Du Lisan vowed to avenge his father's murder, killing the betrayer at the age of 16, and it can be seen from this incident that Du Lisan's methods from an early age were very vicious.
Du Lisan was able to develop into the most powerful bandit leader in the northeast, and he naturally had his own methods. He had strict criteria for selecting his subordinates, and if he wanted to join the company, he had to accept Du Lisan's test. The way to test the bandits was also straightforward, he let people have eggs on their heads, he shot the eggs 50 meters away, dared to stand there without moving, proved that this man was bold, and did not get killed to prove that he was lucky.
Relying on this standard, Du Lisan recruited a large number of bandits, and then in Liaoxi, whether adults or children, no one knew about Du Lisan. Although he was a bandit, he also did good deeds, in the past, the Liaohe River was not governed, and there was a flood at every turn, So Du Lisan led the bandits to open canals and divide the water, and irrigated the depressions of tens of kilometers from liaozhong to Tai'an County into fertile soil.
At first, Du Lisan must have done this for his own sake, but in the end it did bring benefits to the common people, so the people also erected a merit monument for Du Lisan. Suddenly there were more large areas of fertile land near the Liaohe River, and the Russians looked at it, and although Du Lisan was a bandit, he also knew the great national righteousness and did not give in to the Tsarists.
At that time, the corrupt Qing court did not dare to beat foreigners, but Du Lisan led bandits to fight foreigners, so the people gave Du Lisan a resounding nickname - Bao Da Foreigners. After Du Lisan's power gradually grew, it had seriously threatened the safety of the local local tycoons and gentry, and they collectively paid for Xu Shichang, the governor of the northeast, to send troops to kill Du Lisan.
In the end, the person in charge of suppressing the bandits was Zhang Zuolin, a bandit who had just been recruited, and he also wanted to use this opportunity to make a great contribution. Hard fighting is definitely no chance of winning, only outsmarting. Zhang Zuolin consulted with several brothers and decided to give Du Lisan a "Hongmen Feast". Zhang Zuolin first pretended to worship Du Lisan, and Du Lisan knew that Zhang Zuolin was also a bandit and had no doubts about such people.
After the two of them worshipped, Zhang Zuolin invited him to come to the county to eat, by the way to talk about things, Du Lisan did not suspect, only took 2 people to the banquet, who knew that just after a foot into the door, Du Lisan was taken down by several big men, and his head was cut off on the spot. When Du Lisan died, Zhang Zuolin immediately took over his bandits, and his strength suddenly increased a lot, prompting him to finally become the king of the Northeast.
