In Shanghai in the 1930s, neon lights flashed and yingge and swallow dances flourished everywhere. At that time, the biggest force in old Shanghai was the Qing Gang. Speaking of the Green Gang, we have to mention a big figure - Du Yuesheng. Together with Jin Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin, he carved up the Shanghai business community and controlled the economic lifeblood of Shanghai.
Among the three giants of the Green Gang, the outside world's evaluation of Du Yuerong is: he will be a person and have high emotional intelligence. There are still rumors in the outside world: "To be a person like Mr. Du." "He's also really thoughtful.
After Li Yuanhong was driven off by Duan Qirui and fled to Shanghai, it was Du Yuesheng who took him in. Li Yuanhong also did not expect that people who usually did not intersect would actually lend a helping hand; and those who usually complimented him were now avoiding him.
It is not surprising that the icing on the cake is that sending charcoal in the snow is enough. And Du Yuesheng's charcoal in the snow is like a sense of treasure for Li Yuanhong. Later, Li Yuanhong wanted to express his gratitude to Du Yuesheng, but at that time, when he was in distress, he had no precious things to give to Du Yuesheng, so Li Yuanhong only gave him 3 things before leaving.
Li Yuanhong was killed
Li Yuanhong, the great president of the Republic of China, was originally elected as the grand president by various forces for their own interests. Therefore, since taking office, he has no real power in his hands.
After Yuan Shikai's death, Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui maintained a superficial calm with each other because of the needs of the situation at that time. At that time, Duan Qirui did not pay attention to Li Yuanhong, who had no real power.
After the dispute between the government and the court, Li Yuanhong was actually dismissed from the post of premier of the State Council. Forced by the situation, Duan Qirui went to Tianjin in a hurry, at which time he had already begun to plan an armed attack on Li's government.
After learning of the dispute between Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui, Zhang Xun vainly wanted to support the restoration of the young emperor and monopolize power. Zhang Xun led his troops into Beijing, and Duan Qirui, who was supporting the troops, was in Tianjin. Li Yuanhong knew that the general trend was gone, and could only flee the capital.
But Li Yuanhong forgot that if Zhang Xun was a jackal, then Duan Qirui was a tiger and leopard. After Duan Qirui was reinstated by Li Yuanhong, he had a legitimate reason to march into Beijing. After Duan Qirui ousted Zhang Xun, he forced Li Yuanhong to step down with real power in his hands. Li Yuanhong knew that the trend was gone, so he went to Shanghai and began his journey of distress.
It was during this time that he tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings. In Shanghai, he initially wanted to seek the help of Jin Rong, but he did not expect that Jin Rong saw that he was down, and did not want to pay attention to him at all, and finally Du Yuesheng came to his aid.
Mr. Cheng, a low-level gambler
Du Yuesheng's parents died when he was young, and he was fostered in his uncle's family. But his uncle's family was also very difficult, but fortunately, his uncle pitied him and gave him the money to sell breakfast, who ever thought that he would be addicted to gambling at a young age.
It is often said that nine out of ten lose. Du Yuesheng was the same, but he did not repent, he also wanted to steal his uncle's money, and after being arrested, he was driven out of the house, and he could only go wandering. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he came to Shanghai Beach. Who would have thought that this stray child would be able to take a seat on the beach.
Du Yuesheng, who came to Shanghai Beach, found a job with the help of his uncle, but he still couldn't quit gambling, and when he lost the bet, he went to the store to steal. He was kicked out again. The same was true of his later dismissal from working in a butcher shop.
Later, he sold pears at the docks, where he met a bunch of gamblers, but it was also here that he was appreciated by Chen Shichang and joined the Green Gang. The first step into the Green Gang was the beginning of his legendary life.
Someone introduced him to Jin Rong again, but Jin Jin Rong was a shanghai figure at that time, and there were countless people working under him. I couldn't look at this newcomer Du Yuesheng at all.
It's gold, and it glows everywhere it goes. Du Yuesheng is undoubtedly a piece of ambitious gold. He knew that the boss Jin Rong at this time did not look up to him, and he decided to help the boss lady first.
Through the exquisite maneuvering of eight sides, he finally caught the line of the boss lady Lin Guisheng and helped her run errands. Du Yuesheng did things very well and successfully got the reuse of Jin Rong.
Later, his status in the Green Gang improved step by step, and later he saved Jin Rong's life and called Him Brother and Brother with Jin Rong and Zhang Xiaolin. After that, he began to set himself up.
Du Yuesheng had contacts in both business and politics, and also became the Director of the French Concession Bureau, which was the highest position for the Chinese in the French Concession. It can be seen from this that Du Yuesheng had a lot of scenery on the shanghai beach at that time, and we can also see Du Yuesheng's own ability.
Although Du Yuesheng once acted as Chiang Kai-shek's thug, he hunted down the Chinese Communist Party. However, when the War of Resistance Against Japan came, he also actively resisted Japan, which shows that he is a person full of contradictions.
Rescue Li Yuanhong
Du Yuesheng can sit on an equal footing with Jin Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin on the beach. It is because he is humble and does not look down on anyone even when he is in a high position. He can marry the Kuomintang Dai Kasa as a brother who worships the shogun, and he can also be called a brother and a brother with the Ichijing little gangster.
So when he heard that Li Yuanhong was in distress and that he had been refused to ask For Help from Jin Rong, he thought about it again and again and felt that he could be saved. Even if Li Yuanhong can't regain the position of grand president in the future, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Li Yuanhong still had some influence in political circles at this time, and Duan Qirui could not lead an army to attack Shanghai.
So he persuaded his eldest brother Jin Rong to rescue Li Yuanhong. He not only gave Li Yuanhong enough respect, but also sent people around Li Yuanhong to protect him. At that time, he also personally accompanied Li Yuanhong to visit Shanghai, making Li Yuanhong feel at home.
After that, Li Yuanhong became the president of the Republic of China again. But at this time, Li Yuanhong was still powerless and powerless, and when he left Shanghai, he had nothing of value on him.
But in order to express his gratitude to Du Yuesheng, he only gave Du Yuesheng three things. These three things are a pair of couplets, a set of high-end military uniforms, and dozens of gold medals.
The couplet reads: "Three thousand guests under the Chunshen Gate, five feet south of Xiaodu City." Li Yuanhong compares Du Yuesheng to Chun Shenjun, expressing his intention of returning and respecting his benefactor. And that high-end general's dress and dozens of gold medals with the word "righteous courage" were not rare for Du Yuesheng, but this was also the most decent thing that Li Yuanhong could give to Du Yuesheng at that time.
brief summary:
Sending charcoal in the snow is difficult, the icing on the cake is easy, and the suffering is loyal. It is conceivable that in that era, all parties competed for interests and the political situation was chaotic. Only when driven by interests will all parties help. How rare is Du Yuesheng's lack of asking for returns.
Maybe he also has his own selfish intentions, but people do not destroy it for themselves. Saving one person in that era can leave a way out for yourself. I guess it's human nature! The superior, with a hair and a whole body, Du Yuesheng can be exquisite in all directions, and the business and political circles are all eating, in addition to his humility, it is also because he can help others!
