Introduction: In recent years, there has been an unhealthy trend on the Internet, and some netizens have praised some negative characters with bad deeds in the Republic of China as gods, the most representative of which is Du Yuesheng. Some netizens are very popular with Du Yuesheng, calling him the underground emperor of Shanghai, and some of Du Yuesheng's stains are chosen to ignore. But we all know that the gang leaders of the old society must be bad, and Du Yuesheng's fans can't wash these shortcomings, so they take Du Yuesheng's loyalty and loyalty to publicize it widely. Is Du Yuesheng really loyal? Is the delivery of military materials to Japan during the Anti-Japanese Period a traitor? The Kuomintang can't tolerate him, can't it still explain the problem?
Du Yuesheng's origins are attributed to Jin Rong, who gained the trust of Jin Rong in his early years because of his sharp hands and feet. Because he has a lot of gangster forces in Shanghai, he and Jin Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin are called the "three giants of Shanghai", and some Du Fan is blown into the "underground emperor of Shanghai". Is Du Yuesheng really that powerful? In fact, this was not the case, at that time, Golden Rong did not know the height of the sky and had offended Lu Xiaojia, the son of Lu Yongxiang, the overseer of Zhejiang, and if it were not for Du Yuesheng spending money to buy peace, then Golden Rong would have been cold long ago. After this incident, the underground gang leaders in Shanghai understood their position and began to collude with the warlords to sell opium. This kind of behavior is to put it bluntly the warlord's "white gloves", watching the warlord's face and eating.
Du Yuesheng founded "Sanxin Company" in Shanghai is an indisputable fact, and Du Yuesheng's fans cannot deny it. The company's main business was opium, monopolizing the opium trade in the French Concession and building a global sales channel. As we all know, opium has done a great deal of harm to China, and the outflow of a large amount of silver and the sharp decline in people's physical fitness have made Chinese ridiculed as the "sick man of East Asia." Up to now, opium and drugs are the key targets of the state.
However, during the Republic of China period, Du Yuesheng was able to openly monopolize the opium business, which was mainly attributed to the political transactions of the Nationalist government. Du Yuesheng had to give the Nationalist government more than 5 million oceans a year, and such a large amount of income made the senior officials of the Nationalist government acquiesce to Du Yuesheng's illegal behavior. Just like Lin Yaodong in "Icebreaker Action", Du Yuesheng is also a serious businessman who never touches drugs. If you don't believe me, I can give you five million. Moreover, Dai Kasa, who was then the director of the Military Command Bureau, was Du Yuesheng's good brother, and as long as Dai Kasa had no money, Du Yuesheng would send him money. The "white gloves" of the chairman of the committee, the good brother who wears the boss, such a background, who dares to check Du Yuesheng?
After obtaining the monopoly of opium management, Du Yuesheng began to hire water troops on a large scale. Those undesirable literati, or the warlords who were electrified and sent to the wilderness, were all bribed by Du Yuesheng. Li Yuanhong, Zhang Taiyan, Yang Du and others praised Du Yuesheng for a simple reason - they received money. As for what patriotic opium merchants Du Fan blew out, I was amused to watch. Would selling opium to make millions and then donate hundreds of thousands of dollars would have exonerated him? In addition, What Du Fan is most keen to tout is that Du Yuesheng is loyal and refuses to surrender to Japan. But what Du Fan didn't know was that in 1941, Du Yuesheng founded the Tongji Company, using Boss Dai's connections to deliver military supplies to Japan.
"Political Jianghu: Du Yuesheng's 1931-1949" records the transaction between Du Yuesheng and the Japanese. At that time, due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan's supplies were insufficient, so it frantically copied the bottom of non-ferrous metals. But we all know that China's non-ferrous metals are concentrated in Jiangxi and Hunan, and at that time they belonged to the "national unification area". Due to the different supply and demand in the Japanese war zone and the national unification zone, the price of non-ferrous metals in the north and south is very different. The huge profits attracted many speculators, especially Du Yuesheng, a businessman who did not follow the right path in itself. He and Japan began a barter trade, selling non-ferrous metals from the Kuomintang area to the Invading Japanese Army, and then exchanging cotton yarn and silk fabrics for transportation to the Guotong District for sale.
If Du Yuesheng's act of transporting military materials is not considered a traitor to the country, then what is a traitor? Looking at any country in the world, domestic businessmen will not be allowed to send important military supplies to hostile forces, but Du Yuesheng did it. Because it was Boss Dai behind him, the National Government did not target him and turned a blind eye to this kind of behavior. However, after Dai Kasa's death, Du Yuesheng's backstage collapsed, and the Nationalist government quickly launched a campaign against Du Yuesheng. Through various acts, Du Yuesheng was forced to resign as speaker of the Shanghai Parliament, and at the same time, Du Yuesheng's son was arrested for speculation and robbery of Du Yuesheng's family property through golden coupons.
In the people, the people were extremely dissatisfied with the oppression of the gangsters, and the "Central Daily" of the National Government listed Du Yuesheng as a comprador and a local tycoon and inferior gentry, positioning him as the scum of the times and a hooligan who needed to be purged. Large-scale public opinion quickly plunged Du Yuesheng into an unfavorable situation, and if it were not for the need for his "white glove" during the Liberation War, the Kuomintang would have attacked him long ago. Du Yuesheng himself also knew that the Kuomintang could not tolerate him, so he lamented that he was Jiang Someone's night pot, and being able to laugh at himself so much showed that Du Yuesheng was not at all as good as Jiang Someone's eyes. As for Du Fan's blowing of Jiang Someone who still wants to give du Yuesheng a courtesy, it is completely a fabrication divorced from history.
