When it comes to the famous people in the republic of China, many people will think of Du Yuesheng, the "Emperor of Shanghai" green gang leader, who eats everything in black and white, and his business spans the industrial and commercial circles, political circles, and military circles of the Republic of China.
However, although Du Yuesheng is very powerful, he is not the oldest qualified among the Qinggang who pays attention to generational differences, so who is the oldest Qinggang gangster in Shanghai Beach? He was Du Yuesheng's master Jin Jinrong.
How big was Jin Rong's face at that time? For example, it is said that when Principal Jiang was not yet in sight, he worshiped under his disciples, and later the golden glory celebrated his birthday, and old Jiang also sent someone to wish the old man a happy birthday. To be able to get such treatment shows that Jin Rong's face is big enough, but it is this big man of the Green Gang who was kidnapped and beaten by a young man.
Who is so bold? Dare to move the soil on the head of the too old? His name was Lu Xiaojia, and this man was neither a tycoon on the road nor a giant businessman on the rich side, but a playboy, but he was a standard "second generation of the army" of the Republic of China, and his father was Lu Yongxiang, a great warlord in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Lu Yongxiang was born in 1867 in Jiyang, Shandong Province, although his family was very poor at that time, but he had lofty ambitions, and at the age of 20, he was admitted to the Shanhaiguan Suiying Martial Arts Academy and used this as a platform to start his military career. Five years later, he met Yuan Shikai, a nobleman of his life, who was training troops at the Tianjin Xiaozhan Station, and these soldiers included Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen, who later came to the Beiyang political arena, and Lu Yongxiang happened to have made very good friends with them.
After Yuan Shikai's death, the Beiyang warlords split into several major factions, one was the Anhui warlords headed by Duan Qirui, the other was the warlords directly under Cao Kun and Feng Guozhang, the other was the Feng warlords headed by Zhang Zuolin, and some were the less powerful Jin warlords. Lu Yongxiang relied on his former friendship with Duan Qirui, and in 1919 he served as the overseer of Zhejiang and became an important local powerful warlord.
There was such a warlord father, Lu Xiaojia was also full of bullishness in society, when he and Zhang Zuolin's son Zhang Xueliang, Yuan Shikai's son Yuan Kewen, Sun Yat-sen's son Sun Ke and called "the four princes of the Republic of China", usually he loved to go in and out of places such as red wine and greenery, especially loved to go to the theater to listen to plays.
At that time, the famous grand theater in Shanghai Beach was the Rong Ji Gong Stage, and the big boss behind it was Jin Rong, and the pillar of the Golden Rong Li was Lu Lanchun, a famous actor in Peking Opera, when Lu Chunlan's performance often caused a sensation in Shanghai Beach, which can be described as the "printing machine" of Jin Rong. Because of this, every time Lu Lanchun performs on stage, the stage will be surrounded by thugs to maintain order.
One day, Lu Xiaojia also came to listen to the play, I don't know if it is physical discomfort or other reasons, Lu Lanchun, who has always had steady stage experience, actually sang the wrong word, at this time Lu Xiaojia actually cheered loudly, which just angered the theater owner Jin Jinrong, so Jin Jinrong immediately made the thugs beat up Lu Xiaojia without identifying Lu Xiaojia's identity.
Lu Xiaojia, who had suffered a loss, directly ordered his father's old subordinates to kidnap Jin Rong the next day and then throw him into the dungeon to take revenge. Jin Rong, who was still calling the wind and rain on the beach the day before, suddenly became a prisoner of the order, which made him lose face in the rivers and lakes, and it was best for Du Yuesheng to maneuver from it before He was saved.
This incident made lu Xiaojia famous.
However, in 1924, Lu Yongxiang was defeated in the warlord battle, after which he lived in seclusion in Tianjin, and he could not make a comeback, without the protection of his father, Lu Xianjia also began to keep a low profile.
At that time, although Jin Rong's strength was not as good as before, but he had many disciples, Lu Xiaojia, who often walked in the rivers and lakes, feared revenge from Jin Rong's disciples and grandchildren, and went to Taiwan to settle down in 1946.
After arriving in Taiwan, he was well aware of the harm of "people are not many", so he no longer set foot in politics, but focused on the business field, engaged in import and export trade, and his business was very large, becoming a local "invisible" rich man, living until the 60s of the last century. And Jin Rong died in front of him, and the previous evil deeds were corrected, and then he ended up sweeping the street, and finally ended his life in loneliness.
Reading this, many netizens will ask, why did Lu Xiaojia, who was once an indispensable "second generation of the army", suddenly become low-key? Is it really afraid of Retaliation by Jin Rong? What the author wants to say is that when he kidnapped Jin Rong, he was young and vigorous, and then came to Taiwan to act in a low-key manner, but he understood a truth: high-profile is based on strength, there is no strength, and in the end, "the higher you fly, the more miserable you fall."
