Listening to Liang Jiu's words, Jiang Shan's heart "chuckled". Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 🔥Who is Du Yuesheng? That's a famous rogue tycoon in the whole of Shanghai, and even in the whole of China. There are many legends about him in the market, like a carp crossing the river, if he doesn't even know the rivers and mountains, then he is no different from the wild people from the mountains.

Du Yuesheng (August 22, 1888 - August 16, 1951), one of the most legendary figures on the beach in Shanghai in the first half of the 20th century, was known as the "first person of the 300-year-old gang" and "the emperor of Shanghai". He went from a small deflated man to a ten-mile ocean field in Laoshang and became the largest gang leader in Shanghai; He is polite, but ruthless and murderous; He is a tiger, but he has a distinct patriotism; He was cunning and treacherous, but he was also very righteous, he was born in the slums, but he became a wealth tycoon involved in entertainment, culture, education, finance, journalism, and other industries, he went in and out of the red and underworld, and was proficient in business and politics, he was the most eye-catching figure in the Shanghai triad and had a legendary life.

His life is full of thrilling legends, and the vast gangster kingdom he built and the unique mark he carved in modern Chinese history are still talked about today.

From the beginning of entering the Bagu Party to sell drugs, to finally becoming one of the top underworld figures in the ten-mile market, Du Yuesheng can be said to have experienced ups and downs, seen through the ups and downs of the world, and is one of the most legendary figures in modern Chinese history. is not only that he broke into Shanghai Beach single-handedly as a 15-year-old orphan from the countryside, and turned from a gangster who didn't have enough food to become a tycoon who shocked Shanghai Tang; It is also because of what he did after his career, as if he had been "reborn" from a hooligan white-faced person, becoming a modern industrialist, a socialite and a local leader, and becoming an active political figure at that time.

Du Yuesheng is good at dancing with long sleeves and eats up and down. For the old warlords, politicians, high-level celebrities of the party-state, and even financial and industrial tycoons, they are all very courteous and courteous, and they make friends with all their might, and even worship as brothers, or accept them as protégés, give financial support, or pay monthly silver and raise them as diners. And the high-level Jiang family, such as Kong Xiangxi, Song Ziwen, Dai Li, etc., all became close friends of the Du family.

With such a network that is sufficient to manipulate the political, industrial, commercial, and financial circles, with the French Concession as a backer, and gangs and underworld forces at the bottom, Du Yuesheng can be said to be invincible in Shanghai.

In later newspapers, periodicals and books, people often saw texts about Du Yuesheng, the leader of the old Shanghai Youth Gang, most of which described his various bad deeds, and occasionally mentioned that Du was righteous and had backbone, and made some contributions in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Perhaps this is also the other side of the life of a tainted underworld leader. "Beijing Daily" published an article asking Zhu Xiaoping, deputy director of the editorial department of "Domestic and Overseas" magazine, to interpret the contribution of this legendary figure in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Of course, Jiang Shan naturally did not know that this article said that Du Yuesheng was the big leader of the Shanghai Youth Gang (also known as the Anqing Gang) in old China. Chiang Kai-shek seized power in the counter-revolutionary coup d'état of April 12, 1927, and Du Yuesheng played a key role in the coup, employing hooligans to send pennants to the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions and emit smoke, and luring and killing Wang Shouhua, chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions, and other members, resulting in the 800,000 members of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions being leaderless and thousands of workers being killed by Chiang Kai-shek.

As the big leader of the old Shanghai underworld, Du Yuesheng has many stains on his body, but he is not a black mess. During the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the vice president of the Red Cross Society of China for many years, did some beneficial charitable undertakings, and set up many hospitals, such as Ningbo Epidemic Hospital Renji Hospital, to help the wounded and sick. It also established the Hongkou Civilian Epidemic Hospital, which is dedicated to helping the poor, and the hospitalization and surgical medicine and hospitalization expenses of seriously ill patients are all free. At the same time, he also devoted himself to education, founded many schools, and donated money to schools. In particular, when he was vice president, he made contributions to the establishment of resistance forces by rescuing wounded soldiers and transporting supplies to help them. The article believes that Du Yuesheng made great contributions in the Anti-Japanese War.

After the Council Office of the Red Cross Society of China moved to Hong Kong, Du Yuesheng personally presided over the work to raise funds for the rescue cause.

In the spring of 1938, when the General Council of the Red Cross Society of China moved to Hong Kong, Du Yuesheng personally presided over the work and set up a head office to receive donations from overseas and raise funds for relief at the same time. It can be said that Du Yuesheng is very hard working at this time. At that time, the Kuomintang government also had a Central Relief Committee, but its role was hardly comparable to that of the Red Cross Society chaired by Du Yuesheng.

After the "August 13" Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek arranged for Du Yuesheng to be a member of the Standing Committee of the Red Cross, responsible for the work of the Ninth Relief Area in Guangdong, Guizhou and Fujian Provinces. In order to facilitate his work, Du Yuesheng co-located the office of the Ninth Relief District with the Red Cross Society of China in Austin Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong. His residence is also here, and he has a room in Hong Kong's largest hotel, which is dedicated to contacting all parties. At that time, the materials donated by overseas Chinese during the war and the relief supplies for refugees were received and transported by Du Yuesheng to Hankou or Chongqing. At the same time, Du was also responsible for cooperating with Dai Li to arrange the work of collecting intelligence from the occupied areas and plotting rebellion.

Later, after the fall of Hong Kong, Du Yuesheng retreated to Chongqing, presided over the affairs of the Red Cross, and handled the work of air raid ambulance and medical care in the front and rear.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, most of the overseas materials were transferred to China through Hong Kong, and Du Yuesheng handled the reception and transshipment in the name of the Red Cross, making some contributions to the cause of the Anti-Japanese War. After the fall of Hong Kong, the Red Cross General Society moved to Chongqing in 1940, and Du Yuesheng also retreated to Chongqing, presiding over the affairs of the conference, handling the work of air raid rescue and medical care in the front and rear.

In 1942, Du Yuesheng prepared to build Chongqing Hospital, which had 300 beds and well-equipped departments, which was the most advanced wartime rear hospital at that time, and was praised by public opinion. In addition, Du Yuesheng has also done a lot of work in the search for and transportation of strategic materials. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Du Yuesheng returned to Shanghai, supervised the demobilization work in Shanghai, and assisted in the restoration and strengthening of the organization of the Shanghai Red Cross Branch, laying the foundation for the association to promote various social service work.

What Jiangshan considers is a variety of intricate relationships. He is a soldier, and he is rashly involved with an underworld boss, it is difficult to say whether he will be criticized by people with ulterior motives, in case the Falcon Special Operations Brigade is involved because of this matter, it will not end well, but now in Shanghai, the power that Du Yuesheng has in his hands, the advantage he urgently needs, if he easily lets it go, he is really a little unwilling. Jiangshan is in a dilemma.

But he thinks about these things, that is, things that are between lightning and flint. "Get out! As long as Du Yuesheng is sincere in resisting Japan, even if he is the king of Yama, he will fight for his life to make friends! After a brief consideration, Jiang Shan almost gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Liang Jiu didn't know that in this short period of time, the young man in front of him had pondered so many things. Seeing that Jiang Shan was silent, Liang Jiu thought that he was suspicious of his identity as the elder of the Green Gang Law Enforcement Hall, and snorted coldly: "This gentleman, the Green Gang has been founding a faction for more than 200 years, although the world has slandered my gang, but my disciple of the Green Gang has always had clear grievances. Mr. has a life-saving grace for me Liang Jiu today, no matter what, my Liang Jiu is toothless and unforgettable. Can this gentleman leave his honorific name? Liang Jiu swore to the sky, in the future, Mr. but drove away, Liang Jiu was shattered, and he did not give up! ”

These words can be described as loud and heroic. Jiang Shan pondered carefully, he is not familiar with the place in Shanghai now, and there are many shackles in his actions, at least he needs people who are familiar with the local situation in Shanghai to dredge up various relationships, and if he wants to gain the trust of others, he must at least show a little sincerity. Although the Green Gang is an underworld, at least now it seems that under Du Yuesheng's leadership and subtle influence, most of the tens of thousands of Green Gang disciples have maintained their national integrity. Many members of the Green Gang even took up arms and directly engaged in armed struggle against the Japanese invaders. From this point of view, these gangsters are still bloody men, and Liang Jiu dared to directly assassinate the big traitor Zhang Xiaolin, although he didn't succeed, but he was also a good man worth dating.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shan and the leopard glanced at each other, wanting to ask for their current opinion. At the moment, far away from the brigade headquarters, Liang Jianbin and other confidants are not around, and the only person who can discuss things when he encounters things is the leopard himself.

Who knew that the leopard stared at each other and looked back directly. The meaning is obvious: "You are the boss, you can do anything, and it is useless to discuss with me." He now understands his identity very clearly, he is a gun in the hands of the brigade commander, and wherever the brigade commander aims, he just charges into battle. As for the purpose of the brigade leader, it is a matter of his brain, and it has nothing to do with him.

Jiang Shan pouted helplessly, this kid is now a martial artist, expect him to use his brains? I might as well expect the Japanese to make a mess of their own heads.

Since the leopard's opinion is only the brigade commander's opinion, Jiang Shan consciously filtered out his opinion. After lowering his head and thinking about it carefully, he said to Liang Jiu in a deep voice: "Brother Liang Jiu, I can tell you my identity." But you have to promise that no one else knows about it except you and Mr. Du. ”

Liang Jiu looked at him with a solemn expression, and he was also keenly aware that the young man in front of him was probably not small, and his identity was also very sensitive. Thinking of this, he also said solemnly: "Sir, don't worry, although Liang Jiu is a member of the Green Gang, and he has also had a lot of blood under his hands over the years, he has always been a man who says nothing. Liang Jiu swears hereby that if he reveals his identity, he will be dealt with by the gang and punished with three knives and six holes! ”

In the old society, the gang members always took the gang rules very seriously, and some people would even sacrifice their lives rather than violate the gang rules. As an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Liang Jiu naturally regarded the gang rules as an insurmountable precept in his life. Now that he is willing to swear by the rules, he has naturally made up his mind to keep it a secret.

Liang Jiu swore an oath, but Jiang Shan did not make a sound to stop him. After Liang Jiu's words landed, he whispered: "Brother Liang Jiu, I can't hide it, below is the Sixth Independent Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army, that is, the commander of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade, Major General and Brigade, Jiangshan. ”

"Click" was another soft sound. Jiang Shan looked at Liang Jiu depressedly, and said secretly in his heart: "What's wrong today?" Why did they throw their guns on the ground one by one? It's a pity to take a good Colt M1911 and break it? ”

Liang Jiu picked up the gun with an embarrassed face and asked urgently, "Are you really Brigade Commander Jiang?" You are the Nine Shadows Yama in the mouth of the Japanese army? ”

Jiang Shan touched his nose and thought, "'Nine Shadows Yama'? Who gave me this nickname? Not to mention, it's really imposing. Looking at Liang Jiu's eager gaze, he couldn't help but wonder a little, and asked with a smile: "The Nine Shadows Yama is not counted, but I am quite good at killing the Japanese." How? Does Brother Liang Jiu know each other? ”

Liang Jiu hurriedly sat upright, bowed his hands, and said, "Captain Jiang's name, who doesn't know the current Chinese?" Who doesn't know? Brigadier Jiang Gao Yi, Liang Jiu has already been friends for a long time, but Liang is vulgar, coupled with his humble status, he has never had the opportunity to meet Brigadier Jiang. Who would have thought that he would be able to see Brigade Commander Jiang's dignity today, Liang is really fortunate in his third life! ”
