When Du Lisan was 16 years old, his father Du Baozeng was reported to the local government by his uncle Du Baoxing, and after the government learned that Du Baozeng was a bandit, he sent a catcher and a servant to arrest Du Baozeng and execute him on the spot.
At the same time, Du Lisan's mother told Du Lisan everything that happened, and Du Lisan was grief and indignation after learning that the culprit of everything was his uncle Du Baoxing. When even with the bandits, in Huangshatuo Town, Tai'an County, he killed his uncle Du Baoxing to avenge his father.
In 1900, 20-year-old Du Lisan in addition to leading a group of bandits to rob homes, but also on the bank of the Liao River to collect transit fees from passing ships, and gradually "bigger and stronger" in western Liaoning, becoming the leading green forest in western Liaoning.
Although Du Lisan is insidious and cunning, killing countless people, but he also has a chivalrous side, once, Du Lisan came to the county seat, settled down to do business, witnessed a few local scoundrels embarrassed a pair of uncles and nieces who were performing arts, and the uncles who were selling arts struggled, and were beaten to death by the scoundrels.
Afterwards, Du Lisan helped the entertainer take care of her uncle's funeral, and also took out a sum of money to send the entertainer back to her hometown to live.
In addition, Du Lisan adhered to the national integrity and actively resisted the invading Tsarist Russian army, and Tsarist Russia began to gradually erode and get involved in the Liaohe River after seizing the right to build roads from Harbin to Lushun.
At that time, Du Lisan, who was operating in the Liaohe River with a group of bandits, saw this situation, and did not choose to ignore it, but organized a group of good men to launch a number of raids on the Tsarist army stationed at the Zhanghuangdi Bridge in Tai'an County, in which Du Lisan and his bandits killed and wounded hundreds of Tsarist soldiers, which made the Tsarist commander panic and ordered the Tsarist army to retreat to Liaoyang.
Subsequently, Du Lisan led bandits to attack and attack the Tsarist army many times, which made the Tsarist side miserable, and Du Lisan also relied on his own resistance to the Tsarist army, and became famous in the three northeastern provinces.
In this way, Du Lisan's power became bigger and bigger, and his name became more and more famous, and Xu Shichang, the governor of Northeast China at that time, was afraid that after Du Lisan became powerful, he would become a big hidden danger in the three northeastern provinces, so he decided to get rid of him to prevent future troubles.
So how to get rid of Du Lisan, a giant bandit in western Liaoning? If you send troops to go, Du Lisan is likely to lead the bandits into the deep mountains and old forests to hide, which will end up in vain, and Xu Shichang, the governor of the Northeast who realized this, decided to let Zhang Zuolin, who had just been recruited and had the identity of a bandit, go to deal with Du Lisan.
Zhang Zuolin felt very tricky after receiving the order to exterminate Du Lisan, on the one hand, he and Du Lisan were friends in the green forest, and had several relationships in private, if he went to encircle and suppress Du Lisan, it would be a bit treacherous, and there was no morality in the rivers and lakes, on the other hand, this Du Lisan was cunning, and he was skilled, if he wanted to get rid of him, it was not easy to talk about, but if he was not good, he was the enemy of Du Lisan, and he was likely to lose his life.
Zhang Zuolin, who realized that this matter was very tricky, really had no choice, so he gathered Zhang Jinghui, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Tang Yulin together to discuss countermeasures.
After Zhang Jinghui, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Tang Yulin came, they also thought that this matter was too tricky, and the only way to get rid of Du Lisan, a giant bandit in western Liaoning, was through booby-trapping.
Subsequently, Zhang Zuolin sent his subordinates to Du Lisan's cottage, saying that the Fengtian Governor's Mansion had sent him to appease him, and asked Du Lisan to come to Xinmin to discuss this matter.
But Du Lisan has always been cunning, he felt that this matter was fraudulent, so he refused Zhang Zuolin's invitation, Zhang Zuolin saw that Du Lisan did not take the bait, so he invited Du Lisan's uncle Du Panlin out, and then asked Du Panlin to write a letter to invite Du Lisan to Xinmin to meet.
Du Lisan's uncle Du Panlin didn't know what to do, thinking that Zhang Zuolin was righteous and sincere to Du Lisan, so he wrote a letter and asked Du Lisan to come to Xinmin to accept Zhao'an.
After Du Lisan saw the letter from his uncle Du Panlin, he relaxed his vigilance, thinking that the Qing court was sincerely recruiting himself, so he decided to come to Xinmin to discuss with Zhang Zuolin face-to-face and appease him.
Soon after, Du Lisan set off from the base camp with a team of henchmen and came to the outskirts of Xinminfu City, and Zhang Zuolin sent people here early to welcome Du Lisan's arrival.
After the people sent by Zhang Zuolin welcomed Du Lisan and his party to the reception office, Zhang Zuolin appeared at the reception office, set up a banquet, and Du Lisan and his party pushed the glass to change the lamp, and talked about the wine.
And in this process, Du Lisan and his entourage gradually let down their guard, there was no guard against Zhang Zuolin, after the banquet, Zhang Zuolin invited Du Lisan to his residence to discuss the matter of Zhao'an, Du Lisan saw that there were only two people around Zhang Zuolin, so he also took two people to follow Zhang Zuolin together.
When Du Lisan and Zhang Zuolin finished discussing the matter of Zhao'an and left Zhang Zuolin's residence, Zhang Zuolin's people who were ambushed outside the house were killed at once, killing Du Lisan by surprise, Du Lisan was also in the resistance, and was killed by several big men with knives.
