Speaking of the name Du Yuesheng, at that time, everyone on the beach was known to everyone. As the "Earth Emperor" of Shanghai Beach, Du Yuesheng was an infinite scenery, even Chiang Kai-shek at that time had a good relationship with him, and the two people had close economic and political contacts. Although Chiang Kai-shek's influence is very large, Du Yuesheng still has the final say on the beach. However, in his later years, Du Yuesheng was still planted in the hands of Chiang Kai-shek, and the hegemon of Shanghai lost to the real "hooligans", leaving only a sigh in the end.
When Du Yuesheng was young, he was also a person with a head and a face, and he was the eldest brother of the Sixteen Docks. Under the recommendation of a friend, Du Yuesheng left everything behind and entered Jin Rong's mansion as a waiter. He wanted to use this line of the Rong Mansion to make a comeback.
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek was poor in Shanghai, and he lost money in stock trading. Chiang Kai-shek had a relationship with Du Yuesheng under the acceptance of his friends, and sent Du Yuesheng a "red post", that is, to worship Du Yuesheng's door, hold a formal worship ceremony in the gang, and worship him as a teacher. At that time, it cost at least a few hundred yuan to enter Du Yuesheng's door, and Du Yuesheng intended to befriend Chiang Kai-shek, did not collect money, and gave him 200 yuan to let him go to Guangdong to start a big show. In this way, Chiang Kai-shek and Du Yuesheng had the title of master and apprentice.
After Chiang Kai-shek slowly made his mark, he provided Du Yuesheng with a lot of convenience. With the help of Chiang Kai-shek, Du Yuesheng became the hegemon of Shanghai Beach, which can be said to cover the sky with one hand. However, Chiang Kai-shek also began to fear that Du Yuesheng would affect his position, and the relationship between the two became tense.
Later, due to the military defeat of Chiang Kai-shek's government, the economy collapsed completely, the currency depreciated, and the hungry people mourned. In order to save the market, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the "prince" Chiang Ching-kuo to rectify Shanghai's economy. As soon as Jiang Chingguo came to Shanghai, he arrested Du Weiping, Du Yuesheng's son, and planned to kill chickens and monkeys. In order to save his son, Du Yuesheng told Chiang Ching-kuo at a meeting: "If my son breaks the law, then he deserves it." But is my son a big tiger? If you have the ability, you will enforce the law impartially and have a basis for reason, so that you can convince the public. As soon as this remark came out, Chiang Ching-kuo did not know how to be good. Finally, Song Meiling ran to Shanghai to personally release Du Weiping, who was imprisoned. The relationship between Chiang Kai-shek and Du Yuesheng also began to deteriorate.
In fact, Chiang Ching-kuo's case cannot be regarded as the main reason, but it is the last straw that crushed the camel. As the saying goes, a mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and conflicts between the two will occur sooner or later, and the Chiang Ching-kuo incident is only a fuse.
In March 1949, Chiang Kai-shek told Du Yuesheng: Shanghai cannot be defended, and Mr. Li can take his family to Taiwan, and you and I can discuss the major affairs of the party and the state. Sir, who helped our party-state to eradicate the Communist Party, has a deep grudge with you, and they will not let you go, do not have the heart of luck, and need to go to Taiwan as soon as possible.
Du Yuesheng knew that Chiang Kai-shek was not at ease with staying in Shanghai and wanted to force him to go to Taiwan. He prevaricated: "The president is assured, I have no luck." Du Yuesheng planned to flee to France at that time, and entrusted people to find a place to live. With everything in place, there is a visa.
After Chiang Kai-shek learned the news, he never expected that Du Yuesheng, who rarely asked for help in his life, would come to him for help. He told Du Yuesheng: "The visa can be applied for, and you have to pay 150,000 US dollars." Chiang Kai-shek's purpose was not to ask for the 150,000-dollar fee at all, he just wanted to humiliate Du Yuesheng, and the Du Da rogue who had a lifetime of unlimited scenery was finally put together by Chiang Kai-shek. After this incident, Chiang Kai-shek and Du Yuesheng completely broke with each other.
Du Yuesheng also finally understood that the biggest rogue in the world was still chiang kai-shek!
