When it comes to the gang boss of Shanghai Beach, everyone must first think of Du Yuesheng, because his consortium and gangs are all over Shanghai Beach, and even the Kuomintang has to give him three points of courtesy, which shows how powerful his power is.
In addition to Du Yuesheng, there are two powerful leaders of the Green Gang on the beach, one is Du Yuesheng's Leader of the Green Gang, Jin Rong, and the other is Zhang Xiaolin, who has caused the Kuomintang a headache. In order to assassinate him, the Kuomintang dispatched four groups of well-trained gold medal killers, what did this green gang boss have experienced? Why should the Kuomintang pay a huge price and assassinate it?
Zhang Xiaolin was born in Cixi County, Zhejiang Province, where Guangxu was three years old, and later moved to Hangzhou with his family. He has been a miserly personality since he was a child, and when his father was alive, he could still restrain somewhat, and when his father died, he directly dropped out of school and went to the outside world to mix with society.
Later, perhaps losing the fight, Zhang Xiaolin got up the idea of learning fists and feet and was admitted to the Zhejiang Wubei Academy. Here he did improve a lot because of the strict training, but the strict rules also gave him a lot of headaches, and eventually left without learning. After leaving the school, Zhang Xiaolin mixed a small official position in the yamen.
Relying on this position, Zhang Xiaolin has a fairly beautiful mix in the local area, not only eating, drinking, gambling and no one dares to mess with, but also often receives money from filial piety, and his life is quite moist. After leaving Yamen, he also used the money he saved to open a tea house and marry his wife. Such a day is much happier and more comfortable than ordinary people, but Zhang Xiaolin is not satisfied. After getting to know Ji Yunqing, he longed for a prosperous Shanghai and soon decided to go to Shanghai to break out of a new world.
After coming to Shanghai, Zhang Xiaolin realized what kind of frog at the bottom of the well he was before, although he was eager to make a career in his heart, but he had no foundation, even if he knew Ji Yunqing, he could only start from the bottom, and in desperation, he became the initial, helping people to see the casino brothel. Not long after, Zhang Xiaolin accidentally met a businessman Huang Chujiu, who could be regarded as his nobleman, who was not only willing to help him, but also recommended him to Fan Jincheng, the Shanghai Qinggang, and officially joined the Qinggang.
Zhang Xiaolin, who entered the Qing Gang, finally had a place to show his fists, and quickly became a small leader with his fists, and it was at this time that he met his future brother Du Yuesheng. Du Yuesheng was also the small leader of the Qing Gang like him at that time, but it was later than when he joined the Qing Gang, and the two smelled the same and often discussed how to get into power together.
Later, Du Yuesheng was beaten half to death because of a firefight, and his life was lying on the street in danger, it was Zhang Xiaolin who risked carrying him back to his home and spent all his savings to treat him, which allowed him to recover, which made him very moved, and vowed to take him as a brother who had been killed.
Du Yuesheng was clever and scheming, and soon took the most prestigious golden rong in the Shanghai Green Gang, and he himself mixed well and did not forget Zhang Xiaolin, a brother, and brought him here.
Later, Jin Rong was captured by the son of the Shanghai Overseer, and the two worked together to rescue him, and the three of them also married as brothers with different surnames, becoming the "three gangster giants" in Shanghai Beach. The infamous trio worked together to open a company, did all kinds of harmful businesses, brothels, casinos and drugs are their main business, relying on these fast-paying black industries, the three quickly dominated Shanghai.
In 1937, the September 13 Incident broke out, Japan launched a full-scale invasion of China, and quickly encroached on the annexation of major cities, and Shanghai was about to become a Japanese-controlled area. In addition to the troops fighting on the front line, the other Nationalist garrisons withdrew from here early. Chiang Kai-shek was worried that these three powerful men would be threatened and used by the Japanese army, which would further strengthen the strength of the Japanese army, so he advised the three men to go to Hong Kong to avoid it and wait until the end of the war to return.
Du Yuesheng had a very good relationship with the Kuomintang, and he also understood the serious relationship, so he did not hesitate to flee to Hong Kong with his wife and children for temporary settlement. Although Jin Jinrong was reluctant to leave Shanghai and give up the industry he had been operating for many years, he also promised that he would never cooperate with the Japanese and would not leave his home behind closed doors. Only Zhang Xiaolin did not take a stance and asked Chiang Kai-shek not to be nosy.
In fact, Zhang Xiaolin had long looked at Chiang Kai-shek and these two brothers unfavorably, he had always had a very small heart, and when he saw that the two of them had developed faster than him, he had always felt hatred. After the Japanese entered Shanghai, he not only did not stay away, but also took the initiative to cooperate, became the president of the "New Asia Peace Promotion Association", and became a Shanghai spokesman authorized by the Japanese.
Seeing that the brothers had gone astray, Du Yuesheng and Jin Jinrong had also been persuaded, but they still could not change Zhang Xiaolin's decision, and this brotherhood was also broken. Chiang Kai-shek's side could not tolerate Zhang Xiaolin's powerful green gang leader being used by the Japanese, so he sent a group of the most powerful killers in the military command to assassinate Zhang Xiaolin. Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaolin was too vigilant, coupled with really good luck, several times and three times happened to dodge the assassination, that is, the people around him helped to make a shield, and several groups of killers of the military command folded in, but still failed.
And Zhang Xiaolin's side because of the assassination at both ends of the three days, the precautionary means are also very comprehensive, not only customized several bulletproof cars with steel plates, but also made a self-defense iron vest, even if you go out to have fun, you will not take it off, and the assassination mission has reached a stalemate for a while. Not long after, the military command found a new breakthrough, and this person was Zhang Huaibu, Zhang Xiaolin's bodyguard. His father had been a brigade commander in the Beiyang Army, and he had also been a soldier, because of his good skills, he entered Zhang Xiaolin's bodyguard regiment.
The people of the military command found Zhang Huaibu, first took out 50,000 oceans, and then told him about national integrity, hoping that he could risk killing Zhang Xiaolin and guaranteeing that he would be safe and sound. Zhang Huaibu also couldn't see Zhang Xiaolin's traitorous behavior, plus there was an ocean to take, so naturally he agreed with his mouth. In order to kill with one blow, Zhang Huaibu practiced his own marksmanship when he was fine, and finally waited for the opportunity. On that day, Zhang Xiaolin did not go out at home without incident, and the bodyguards around him were mostly patrolling outside, which was the best time.
Zhang Huaibu took the opportunity to quarrel and insult with the driver, causing Zhang Xiaolin to angrily come out of the probe from the upstairs to see, he immediately shot Zhang Xiaolin at the moment of the probe, in order to ensure his death, Zhang Huaibu also went up to make up two shots. Although he was arrested and imprisoned afterwards, he also survived under the protection of the Kuomintang and was released after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Zhang Xiaolin got such a fate, and he deserved it. Although Du Yuesheng is not a good person in the traditional sense, he is a person who understands the great righteousness of the nation, at least he will not help foreign invaders to seek their own land. In fact, if Zhang Xiaolin had not chosen to defect to the Japanese, but learned from Du Yuesheng or Jin Rong to temporarily avoid disasters, he might not have ended up in such a situation, and he could only say that everything was self-inflicted and could not live.
