What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
At the beginning of the last century, Shanghai Beach was mixed with fish and dragons, and a number of well-known figures on the beach emerged, including Jin Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin, Gu Zhuxuan and others. These people are so famous that if they stomp their feet, there will be chaos on the beach. But in Shanghai Beach, there is actually such a character, she is a woman, but even Du Yuesheng has to give her face, she is the military master behind Jin Rong, one of the real founders of the Shanghai Youth Gang, Lin Guisheng, known as Gui Shengjie.
Lin Guisheng, who was born in Suzhou, came to Shanghai as early as the early 20th century. The clever Lin Guisheng soon had his own brothel "Fireworks Room" under his own management. One day, Jin Rong came to the fireworks room, met Lin Guisheng, fell in love with him at first sight, Lin Guisheng did not know what was wrong, and also looked at this golden Rong with a numb face, and the two people soon got married.
After the two got married, they moved to Sixteen Shops in the Three Provinces zone of Shanghai. The shrewd Lin Guisheng suggested to Jin Rong that the sixteen shops be used as a base to openly collect disciples, and Jin Rong hit it off. Through the three religions and nine streams he knew in Shanghai in his early years, and the reputation he established in his early years, Lin Guisheng soon reached thousands of people under Jin Rong's men at once, and suddenly became the most powerful organization in Shanghai Beach.
Jin Rong developed his own power in the ming, through his relationship with the inspector in the French Concession, while underground, he was personally led by Lin Guisheng. Lin Guisheng led her subordinates, drug trafficking, fighting and extorting protection fees, robbing territory, under her shrewd leadership, Jin Rong's territory and money have developed greatly. Within the Qing Gang, everyone called Lin Guisheng Guisheng Sister, and shanghai natives called her "Bai Xiangjie", which means female rogue leader. Her reputation also resounded on the beach, and Jin Rong obeyed her, and the family's financial power was all in her hands. Jin Rong has two major hobbies, one is to make money, the other is to play with women, at that time, the big guys on the beach had three wives and four concubines, which was a common thing, and Jin Rong only dared to pick flowers and weeds outside, but the matter of concubines was never, which showed the respect for Lin Guisheng.
Lin Guisheng's vision of people is also very accurate, even Du Yuesheng is her hand, and then sure enough, Du Yuesheng once surpassed Jin Rong to become the biggest big man in Shanghai Beach, of course, this is the last word. Du Yuesheng's first appearance was to choose to take care of Lin Guisheng when Lin Guisheng was ill, and Du Yuesheng's carefulness made Lin Guisheng very satisfied and had the heart to test him.
Once Lin Guisheng deliberately took Du Yuesheng to the casino to play, and deliberately let Du Yuesheng win 2,000 yuan. 2,000 yuan at that time, but a lot of money, buying a house is not a problem. Lin Guisheng sent people to secretly observe how Du Yuesheng spent this money, and said to Jin Jinrong, if Du Yuesheng took this money to eat, drink and gamble, then this person was an ordinary little hooligan, if he took this money to deposit in the bank or buy a house, then he was not the same kind of person as us, but if he took this money to make friends and pay off old accounts, then he could be cultivated as a confidant. Sure enough, Du Yuesheng took this money to clean up the old accounts and distributed it to the old brothers. So Lin Guisheng cultivated Du Yuesheng as a confidant, and the facts proved that Lin Guisheng's vision of people was indeed unique.
Lin Guisheng befriended various forces in Shanghai everywhere, down to the brothel bustard, up to the government officials, all of whom had to give her three thin noodles. Under the leadership of Lin Guisheng, The power of Jin Rong has been greatly developed.
The three tycoons of the Green Gang
However, Jin Rong suddenly made the most wrong decision in his life, to marry Lu Lanchun, a famous Shanghai singer who was much younger than himself. Lu Lanchun proposed to take charge of the Huang family's financial power and be the wife of the main house, and Jin Rongdu agreed. Lin Guisheng was disheartened, and left home in anger with 50,000 yuan. And where would Lu Lanchun like this underworld big brother with a numb face, taking advantage of Jin Rong's absence on one day, sweeping away all the money. At this time, Jin Rongcai's heart was like ashes, remembering his wife Lin Guisheng, and planting osmanthus trees in the Huang Mansion to remember his wife Lin Guisheng, hoping that she could change her mind, but the stubborn Lin Guisheng did not go back in the end. The former female tyrant who had been in Shanghai had been hidden in her old house on Seymour Road and died alone in 1981.
