There are many stories about Du Yuesheng, but few people mention the Qinggang and Hongmen.
Hongmen was founded in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Qing Gang was founded in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, and most of the founders of the Qing Gang are the backbone members of the Heaven and Earth Society, so when it comes to the generations of the rivers and lakes, the Qing Gang is indeed one head shorter than the Hongmen. The beginning of the rupture of the relationship between Hongmen and the Qing Gang was that the Qing Gang was recruited by the Manchu Qing, and the purpose of the Hongmen and the Heaven and Earth Society has always been "anti-Qing and restoration", and the Qing Gang is regarded as a betrayer, so it has been suppressed in the same situation.
When the Green Gang was in du Yuesheng's hands, it could be said that it was the most powerful, and naturally it had a relatively large conflict with the former Heaven and Earth Society, which was later the Triad.
The Triad, also known as the Heaven and Earth Society. During the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the secret association was changed to the Triad after the Manchu Qing government explicitly banned it. The third of the three is the "yin" of the Hongmen, and the combination is the "gong" on the other side of the word "Hong". It was a makeover, but the inside was still the same.
The cause of the conflict between the Green Gang and the Triad is that Du Yuesheng and people have partnered to open a casino, and the location of this casino is indeed quite exquisite, just at the junction of the French Concession and the public concession, the location is good, and the police of many countries will come to patronize, so the business is also very hot.
And the triad and the Green Gang have been suspicious for a long time, naturally they can't look at Du Yuesheng, plus Du Yuesheng has earned a lot of money on their land boundary, then this beam is naturally more and more dead, so he began to come to the casino to cause trouble.
Du Yuesheng in line with the principle of harmony and anger to make money, naturally also try to tolerate three points, but this gives the triad more arrogance, and later they feel that Du Yuesheng is weak and incompetent, so the lion opened his mouth to ask Du Yuesheng for protection fees and extorted money.
As one of the three tycoons of the Shanghai Green Gang, Du Yuesheng, a rogue leader, how can he be a cat and dog who is harmless to others and can be deceived? At this time, if he still had to give in, then how could he Du Yuesheng still gain a foothold on the beach?
So there was the legend of Du Yuesheng's three-word ping triad.
It is said that on that day, Du Yuesheng, who was angry at his head, only said three words
"Flattened him"
The Du family protégé endured for a long time, and then prepared to move.
The leaders of the triad did not take the news seriously, and Du Yuesheng's hidden patience some time ago made them think that Du Yuesheng was not out of time and vain, soft and deceitful. Early the next morning, the three masters of the triad were already lying neatly outside the gate.
Thunder shot, and Shanghai Beach was also shocked. And this time, Du Yuesheng and Hongmen also had a dead knot.
And just when Du Yuesheng's general trend has gone, he actually chose to go to Hong Kong for the elderly, we all know that Hongmen has a great influence in Hong Kong, Du Yuesheng came here not to say that the wind and rain, is to save a family of old Zhou are all very difficult.
And what really had the courage to let him go to Hong Kong for the elderly was a friend he had made in the past, this person was called Li Zhifa, known as "Hong Kong Du Yuesheng".
The path of Li Zhifa's origins is also very similar to Du Yuesheng's, Du Yuesheng had noble people to help when he was desperate, that is, Jin Rong and his wife, and when Li Zhifa was poor, it was Du Yuesheng who extended a helping hand.
Unlike Jin Jinrong, Zhang Xiaolin or other people with heads and faces, although Du Yuesheng is also a kind-faced gang leader, he has always maintained a certain kindness to the poor living at the bottom. Not only will the neighbors in their hometown be greeted warmly every year, and the clothes sent will be treated kindly, but also the poor people in front of the Du Mansion are also more friendly, and some cotton clothes will be created for them every year.
Such a move does have the intention of buying people's hearts, but this kind of action is not just for this prestige. Because Du Yuesheng was also homeless on Shanghai Beach, Du Yuesheng, who knew the pain, had always maintained a certain kindness towards these people, and probably saw the shadow of that year from these people. A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, alone on the beach, unaccompanied, homeless, with no clothes to wear, but at this time of suffering, there are noble people to help him fly yellow and tengda loach dragon, so he firmly believes that not only is he a lucky person, but also firmly believes that connections do not exist only in the upper class, so he does not have much prejudice against the bottom people.
Being in a high position and being able to do it without being deceived is already one step higher than many people in terms of being a person. And Dai Kasa and Li Zhifa are a microcosm of Du Yuesheng's kindness to the bottom layer, and it is also the return of his kindness to the bottom layer. Dai Kasa, soaring into the sky, can be said to be Du Yuesheng's biggest reliance in the later period. And Li Zhifa is even more protective of him in Hong Kong that he can die of illness on the bed. Gangsters like Du Yuesheng did not die in the death of a family that was not fatal, but died of illness, which is already a great good end.
The reason why Du Yuesheng has many fans to this day is actually inseparable from the three words that he will be a man. This former Shanghai Pudong Xiao fusan, but can become the "first person of the three-hundred-year gang", "China's version of the godfather", can let Zhang Taiyan and other founders of the Republic of China repair his family tree, can let Li Yuanhong such a top stream boast that he is "five feet south of Xiaodu City", such a scenery, and a "rogue leader" can be sent away.
Then again, at that time, Li Zhifa was just a poor hooligan, and he wanted to try his luck to send a telegram to Du Yuesheng, whom he had never met, and used a dead horse as a live horse doctor, hoping that Du Yuesheng could fund him.
And Du Yuesheng not only funded a sum of money, but also put him under his door and became Du Yuesheng's apprentice. It is said that when Du Yuesheng wanted to send money to Li Zhifa at that time, someone advised Du Yuesheng not to be deceived, but Du Yuesheng said:
"When the country is in trouble, since someone asks me, I am not disappointed, and that person will not be disappointed."
With the financial support of Du Yuesheng, Li Zhifa finally settled down in the French Concession from a poor little hooligan walking in the streets and alleys, and even married a wife with the help of Du Yuesheng. Du Yuesheng's treatment of Li Yuesheng is like Jin Rong's kindness to Du Yuesheng.
At that time, in Shanghai Beach, various forces were intricate, Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin, Jin Jinrong, these green gang giants naturally needless to say, as well as Gu Zhuxuan, Yan Jiuling, and so on, which occupied a certain industry celebrity.
Today is different from the past, at this time, Li Zhifa wants to emulate Du Yuesheng in Shanghai Beach to mix up the world, it is already difficult, so he has the idea of leaving Shanghai to develop elsewhere. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Shanghai was in chaos because of the Battle of Songhu, and Li Zhifa came to Hong Kong.
Using money to network people, Lee's development in Hong Kong is very rapid, but in a year or two it has a place in Hong Kong, but it is still far from becoming a figure at the top of the Hong Kong pyramid.
In 1938, Wang Xinheng, the head of the Hong Kong district of the military command, recruited Li Zhifa's Qinggang brothers, asked Li Zhifa and others to help the government maintain law and order, and help chongqing to collect intelligence, thus helping to rescue anti-Japanese people.
In 1941, Hong Kong fell, and Du Yuesheng left Hong Kong. But Lee's law continues to grow in Hong Kong. After the Japanese came to Hong Kong, they were quite interested in Li Jufa, who had deep contacts and backgrounds, so they wanted to win li Jufa cooperation. Li Zhifa, who was loyal to Du Yuesheng, contacted Du Yuesheng and Dai Kasa for advice for the first time. Dai Kasa made a plan and inserted the Lee method into the Japanese so that they could retrieve key information about the Japanese.
Since then, Li Zhifa has rescued more than 100 anti-Japanese people in Hong Kong, including Sun Yat-sen's original wife, Lu Muzhen, and made a lot of contributions to the anti-Japanese resistance. After all, Li Jufa, who saved too many people, still aroused the suspicion of the Japanese, and Li Jufa was also clever enough to escape overnight before the Japanese arrested him, and when the halfway travel expenses were exhausted, Du Yuesheng sent him 20,000 oceans in time.
After Li Zhifa fled to Chongqing, he was arrested by the Chongqing side, and it was Du Yuesheng who tried to correct his name and ensure his safety.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Li Jufa returned to Hong Kong, and Li Jufa, who had the aura of an anti-Japanese hero, had a smooth sailing in Hong Kong, with various official titles on his head, and also opened a series of entertainment venues such as nightclubs and playgrounds, making a lot of money.
In 1949, Du Yuesheng, who felt that the general trend had gone, left shanghai where he had been calling for wind and rain for decades and ran to Hong Kong, and at this time, Li Zhifa was already a facade figure in Hong Kong, and even Hongmen did not dare to easily provoke him.
Although Du Yuesheng's general trend had gone at this time, Li Zhifa still respected and loyal to Du Yuesheng, but after Du Yuesheng died of illness, he returned to the set of drugs without a guide, and the pattern was lower. Later, because of the gang's fierce fighting, Li Zhifa was sentenced to prison, and after he was released from prison, he was already a thing, not an old man, and he died soon after.
Now it seems that Dai Kasa and Li Zhifa, one is Du Yuesheng's greatest reliance on the Nationalist government in the middle and late period, and the other is the two figures who made Du Yuesheng old and sick and die, both of which are the blossoming results of Du Yuesheng's unintentional willow insertion, such as Song Ziwen Chiang Kai-shek, but they only regard him as a night pot.
