Counting the past of Shanghai Beach, there are several prosperous and prosperous places, where everything is in the past.
And the name Du Yuesheng, almost everyone in Shanghai is well known, has a lot of influence, so what kind of story is there?
Up-and-coming afterlife
One day in 1928, in the Golden Theater in Shanghai, Huang Jinrong brought his good brother Du Yuesheng to enjoy Peking Opera together, which is the Yaxing of the two big figures of the gang, and it is a different flavor of tenderness in the days of fighting and killing.
Du Yuesheng saw that on the stage, the three women who performed the opera together were very interested in them, and Jin Rong told him on the side that these three people were actually mother and daughter, and the old Dan on the stage was called Xiao Lanying, which were her two daughters Yao Yulan and Yao Yuying.
As the theater turns on the lights around it, the opera is coming to an end.
Du Yuesheng put on his hat and turned to go backstage.
And Du Yuesheng's life is like a opera.
The silent beginning, the swan song amazing climax, and the final song ends.
His life began slowly with Shanghai Beach.
Du Yuesheng began to wander in Shanghai at the age of fourteen, and entrusted his relatives to let him work in a fruit shop.
But he is loose by nature, and he is good at gambling, and there is nothing left to eat and drink normally, and the only thing he has saved is all taken to gamble.
Not long after, the people of the fruit shop threw him out, and everyone couldn't stand Du Yuesheng's virtue, so he went to the dock to ask for a living.
In 1902, Chen Shichang of the Youth Gang accepted Du Yuesheng, because this child was clever and very particular about things, and he was a talent that could be used.
After saddling his boss, Du Yuesheng was introduced and successfully came to Huang Jinrong's house, took care of his family, and did miscellaneous work for Jin Rong.
Huang Jin Rong was the chief supervisor of the French Concession Police Department at that time, and his status was naturally very noble.
But he loves his wife Lin Guisheng very much, and his attitude towards her is obedient.
Similarly, Du Yuesheng also noticed this, and when he was at home, he met his first wife, Shen Yueying.
Shen Yueying has a very close relationship with Lin Guisheng, and her mother is very close to Lin Guisheng, which is why she can continue to stay in this place after her mother's death.
Therefore, Du Yuesheng pursued Shen Yueying, and the young man who would really come to the situation would not suffer a loss anywhere.
Originally, Lin Guisheng liked Du Yuesheng very much, and now Shen Yueying was also taken by him, so his relationship with the family should naturally go further.
When Huang Jinrong first met this little brother, he was talking about business.
Du Yuesheng told Jin Rong that the warlords in Shanghai now have the final say, and some of the warlords now want to do tobacco business.
He reminded Huang Jin Rong that he could use his position to open a channel for the warlords, and he would definitely not suffer a loss after taking a stake in their company.
After Jin Rong did so, because of the rise of the tobacco business, he directly earned nearly one million yuan.
After this, Du Yuesheng married Shen Yueying, and he brought great benefits to Huang Jinrong, and Lin Guisheng liked this descendant very much, and the family was clearly pinched by Du Yuesheng.
This is Du Yuesheng's first woman, this is the first turn of the gears of his destiny, he has obtained the power of Jin Rong, along the line of the tobacco business.
Huang Jinrong supported Du Yuesheng, and he rose up part of his own strength, and with his ingenuity, he defeated the big eight stocks that also controlled the tobacco business in a short period of time.
After fighting down the people who hindered the tobacco business, the tobacco soil from import to production to sale was mastered by Du Yuesheng, and this teenager has already made a name for himself in Shanghai.
Brilliant momentum
Since the management of tobacco soil is in their own hands, distributing it is the way to make money in the future.
In 1925, Du Yuesheng, together with Huang Jin Rong and Zhang Xiaolin, established Sanxin Company.
The opium business has become unique in Shanghai, and no force dares to oppose it, because they all have a background in the Qing gang.
People will naturally become very arrogant when they make money, and no matter how powerful people are, they will inevitably be arrogant.
When Huang Jinrong was watching the play, he had a tantrum with a man named Lu Xiaojia, and the two were jealous in the theater.
It doesn't matter if he provokes Lu Xiaojia, but he is a hairy boy, but his father Lu Yongxiang is a Zhejiang overseer who is very powerful when there are many warlords.
After Du Yuesheng learned the news, before he could react, his subordinates came to pass on the message, and Huang Jinrong was arrested.
After provoking Lu Xiaojia, he immediately sent an escort, beat the golden man violently, and handcuffed him to the police station.
Du Yuesheng prepared a lot of money in case of emergency, let Zhang Xiaolin come forward, and he invited a very respectable person to preside.
In addition, he also appeased Huang Jinrong's family, and things inside and out were arranged very thoughtfully.
In the end, benefits were exchanged for benefits.
Jin Rong returned safe and sound, and Lu Xiaojia was also discouraged.
After this incident, Jin Rong really saw Du Yuesheng's ability.
Listening to the people in the gang, who were arranged by Du Yuesheng during his absence, Jin Rong was very pleased, and immediately recognized Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin as his brothers.
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to stabilize the situation in Shanghai and suppress the counter-revolutionary movement, so he immediately approached Du Yuesheng and them.
Du Yuesheng's grasp of the current situation is very accurate, he knows who he should listen to at this time, whose momentum can live, and whose convenience can be borrowed.
So without saying a word, he united with Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin, and used the underworld background of his Qing Gang to organize a group of thugs to participate in the suppression together, and it didn't take long for things to calm down.
Chiang Kai-shek recognized their ability so much that Du Yuesheng, as their representative, was directly granted several important appointments in Shanghai.
Chiang Kai-shek wanted to control Shanghai, Du Yuesheng had such ability, just because he adapted to the current situation, naturally he was also reused.
So far, he not only has a background in the Qinggang, but also has a huge tobacco business, and there are several positions on his head, which is very incredible.
At this time, Du Yuesheng, black and white, holding power and money together, became a real big man in Shanghai.
At her most brilliant time, Du Yuesheng met Xiao Lanying and her two daughters at the Golden Grand Theater.
After listening to that scene, Du Yuesheng tried her best to get close to them.
After learning that they came to Shanghai to develop, they did not have a foothold, so they directly arranged accommodation for them.
Sometimes when something is okay, I will come over and talk to them.
Yao Yulan and Yao Yuying are naturally very respectful to Du Yuesheng of Shanghai, because this person represents almost the entire Shanghai.
One night he came to Yao Yulan's room, and the two expressed their intentions to each other, and Yao Yulan was taken from Du Yuesheng.
As a result, after that, Du Yuesheng used the same way to turn her sister Yao Yuying and mother Xiao Yulan into her own women.
In 1928, Du Yuesheng married Yao Yulan, his fourth wife, and later Yao Yulan's sister died, and rumors about Du Yuesheng and the mother and daughter have always been talked about.
During this time, Du Yuesheng reached the peak of his life, and he really became a character on the beach, the kind of person who stomped on the beach and was about to shake.
Du Yuesheng's second and third room wives were all brought back by him when he was having fun, but Yao Yulan was made clear by Du Yuesheng and only wanted to marry her.
Du Yuesheng purchased a large area of land in Shanghai and built an ancestral hall for himself, and on the day the ancestral hall was built, a team of nearly 1,000 people laid out the noodles for themselves, which was very loud and attracted the attention of the entire Shanghai Beach.
The chaotic situation under the anti-Japanese resistance
Under this chaotic world, Du Yuesheng can mix his own forces, that is, he knows how to adapt to the situation.
However, on the eve of the Japanese capture of Shanghai in 1937, the Japanese approached Du Yuesheng.
They also knew Du Yuesheng's influence in Shanghai, so they wanted to persuade Du Yuesheng to do things for them.
Du Yuesheng was very angry after hearing this, it is absolutely impossible to become a traitor, even if he is gambling and amorous, but in the face of the problem of right and wrong, which side to stand on, Du Yuesheng can still carry it.
This time he wanted to control the situation, and after the Japanese left, he gathered anti-Japanese aid organizations in various places, specially providing materials and help, and was active in the route of transmitting intelligence.
Later, Shanghai fell, and Du Yuesheng arranged for his family to go to Hong Kong together.
In this place of Hong Kong, Chiang Kai-shek also entrusted it with important tasks, which is used to make overall planning here, do construction and economic development.
This requires extraordinary coordination, but it is as easy as drinking water in front of the veteran Du Yuesheng.
Later, Hong Kong also fell, and Du Yuesheng came to Chongqing.
At this time, Du Yuesheng realized that the war was unstable, and it was necessary to coordinate the business of the bank, and money was used wherever it went, it was different from people, and money could be relied on as long as it was taken out.
Moreover, it is very beneficial to both yourself and the country to coordinate these operations of the bank, and you can save money and support it if the country needs it.
During this time of running back and forth, Du Yuesheng met the third woman, Meng Xiaodong, who was very important to him, who was born in a Liyuan family and was also a opera that Du Yuesheng liked.
But at that time, Meng Xiaodong and Mei Lanfang had just separated, and they didn't have that idea at all.
Du Yuesheng naturally couldn't force it, but he thought of his fourth wife, Yao Yulan.
When Yao Yulan was once studying Peking Opera, he and Meng Xiaodong were the same master, and the two were not only the same window, but also had a very good relationship, so he told Yao Yulan about these things.
Yao Yulan understood Du Yuesheng's thoughts, and what he wanted to do could not be stopped.
And now the situation is very turbulent, the Japanese may call at some point, so she persuaded Meng Xiaodong in Beijing to take him to live.
After coming to the side, Du Yuesheng and Meng Xiaodong had the opportunity to contact.
In 1945, when the events in Japan were basically over, Du Yuesheng returned to Shanghai, where he helped Chiang Kai-shek solve the economic crisis of the time, but later because of conflicts with the Kuomintang, he was ostracized and finally withdrew from Vanity Fair.
He gathered his scattered businesses again and extracted all his wealth.
In 1948, the Battle of Pingjin was about to begin, and Chiang Kai-shek's defeat was basically determined, but Du Yuesheng did not do anything to the Communist Party, and the only counter-revolutionary movement, I am afraid that he would also be in danger if he spoke out.
Chiang Kai-shek once asked him to follow him to Taiwan, but Du Yuesheng refused, he brought his family to Hong Kong, and he took Meng Xiaodong with him before leaving.
Before this, Meng Xiaodong had actually been taken care of by him for many years, and in the era of war, he was always able to adapt to the situation.
Safe and sound, taking good care of the family, also out of gratitude.
In Hong Kong in 1950, 60-year-old Du Yuesheng successfully married Meng Xiaodong.
Retreat and wait for each other
Du Yuesheng's later life was very comfortable, he bought a real estate in Hong Kong, and he also saved up an endless family base to live with his wife and children.
Among them, Meng Xiaodong always accompanies him and takes care of his life, although he does not have children with Du Yuesheng, but Du Yuesheng's later years are also very happy because of Meng Xiaodong's company.
At the time of his death, Du Yuesheng was delirious and insisted that his family bring other people's IOUs to him, and he removed all these things, a total of dozens of them.
He lit a fire and told his family not to collect the debts, leaving enough money for the family.
Du Yuesheng looked at the children again, and the face that had killed countless people and made countless risky decisions, all calmly, burst into tears at this time.
He said to the children, I have no hope, but you still have it, China still has it.
The words have already told the children to do the right thing and not be proud of me, I am just a person who survived in troubled times.
On August 16, 1951, Du Yuesheng closed his eyes and walked through his troubled and adventurous and legendary life.
From a street boy living on the beach to a big man in the middle of the earthquake, this is the shortest description of Du Yuesheng.
Du Yuesheng is a person who will adapt to the situation, in the early days, the Qing Gang had forces to mix with the Qing Gang, after time and cooperation with the warlords, followed the warlords, and later caught up with Chiang Kai-shek, and officially came into contact with the rights that could affect the country.
In the chaotic times, Du Yuesheng is definitely not a good person, and the reason why the business of selling tobacco soil Chinese weakened for most of half a century is precisely because the first to cut the door of the country is opium.
Du Yuesheng stood on the wrong side, chose the Kuomintang, and even suppressed counter-revolutionary forces, which caused a lot of trouble for the Communist Party in its early campaign.
However, when the Japanese also put forward the same tempting conditions to make him a traitor, Du Yuesheng refused, and at the level of the family and country, he protected the battered mother with actions.
Du Yuesheng interspersed in the chaotic world, using her own materials to save everyone in her family, not only retreating all over, but also allowing them to enjoy their old age in peace.
For the family, he is definitely a responsible and responsible man.
Du Yuesheng met three women who had influenced him in his life, and he met Shen Yueying, the original partner, who changed his fate.
When he met Yao Yulan, everything he had already climbed to the top, and the lover he met at this time was in a relaxed state, which was what he wanted.
When he met Meng Xiaodong, when it was a troubled time, he still took him with him, avoiding the wars in all directions, and eventually supported each other until he was old.
Du Yuesheng's legend has been written, and his good and bad are naturally different in the eyes of different people, but it is undeniable that in Chinese history, Du Yuesheng is remembered.
