Chapter 93: Relationships (2) (Part 2)
When this song came out, it was actually quite criticized. There is no other reason, with the song "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" in front of Zhuyu, this song "The Road to Heaven is Wide and Wide" really does not show much brilliance. Since the sequel to "Journey to the West" started filming, everyone has high expectations, hoping to produce a classic like the 86th version of "Journey to the West". And the greater the hope, the easier it is to be disappointed. The slightest disappointment will be magnified a thousand times.
In fact, if you take out this song alone and listen to it alone, and take it out separately to match "Journey to the West", it is still very suitable and expressive. And "eat my grandson!" And "My grandson is going too!" The addition of two Monkey King mantras is even more expressive. Show Sun Wukong's wanton recklessness!
With these hole cards, if you want to come to the box office of the two animations "Iron Fan Princess" and "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", no matter what, it will not be low.
After arranging these things, he let the Wan brothers do it for the rest of his life. He went home and began to prepare for marriage, and he was busy until dark. Even Chen Mo invited him a few times, but he was pushed away by Yu Sheng. Listening to Chen Tian, it seems that there is going to be some big movement on the military commander's side recently. However, Yu Sheng and Chen Tian were both people who were closely targeted by Nanzao Yunzi, and no one dared to act rashly.
The rest of his life calculated the time according to what later generations knew, and secretly speculated, could it be that this time the military commander was going to assassinate Zhang Xiaolin?
Zhang Xiaolin, born in 1877, was a native of Cixi, Zhejiang. In the rest of his life, at this time, he is already a Shanghai youth gang tycoon alongside Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong! These three people, known as the "Three Tycoons of the Green Gang", are famous in history.
Zhang Xiaolin is actually more like a hooligan than Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong. Whether it is Huang Jinrong or Du Yuesheng's development, in fact, there are British and French shadows, but Zhang Xiaolin is not, his background is backer, most of them are Chinese. It is more in line with the promotion experience of most young gang members in Shanghai.
When Zhang Xiaolin was twenty years old, that is, in 1897, he moved to Hangzhou. However, the gentle scenery of Hangzhou did not make Zhang Xiaolin's temperament somewhat restrained, and he was still idle. All day long, he was in the company of hooligans and ruffians, fighting and causing trouble, and because of his good talent, he soon became a professional hooligan from an amateur hooligan.
There is a way, hooligans are educated, and anyone who sees them must be afraid. Zhang Xiaolin, with his years of experience as a hooligan, also knew this truth, so he tried his best to enter the Zhejiang Martial Arts Academy to study. And in the martial arts school, he got acquainted with Zhang Zaiyang. This Zhang Zaiyang, because of his outstanding talent and outstanding arm strength, became the commander of the 50th Brigade of the 25th Division of the Zhejiang Army and the commander of the Hangzhou garrison in the first year of the Republic of China, and was awarded the rank of major general. Young and ambitious, holding military power.
Therefore, this Zhang Zaiyang became Zhang Xiaolin's first important relationship. And with Zhang Zaiyang's social circle, Zhang Xiaolin can not only be powerful in Zhejiang, but also quickly get acquainted with Ji Yunqing, a veteran hooligan in Shanghai and a later big-name traitor, through Zhang Zaiyang's social circle!
The two smelled the same, so Ji Yunqing introduced Zhang Xiaolin to worship Fan Jincheng, the "big" generation of the Shanghai Youth Gang, as an old man. As a result, Zhang Xiaolin's seniority is much higher than that of ordinary Qinggang gangs. Zhang Xiaolin's ability to drill the camp soon fell in love with Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong.
In 1920, Du Yuesheng led the establishment of Sanxin Company, which had Zhang Xiaolin's share. And these three refer to Du Yuesheng, Huang Jinrong, and Zhang Xiaolin.
In 1932, Zhang Xiaolin became a supervisor of the Shanghai Chinese Commercial Gauze Exchange through Du Yuesheng's recommendation. It has the right to supervise and manage the gauze trade. And Zhang Xiaolin's name is supervision, which is actually extortion. Shanghai's cotton yarn and textile industry is extremely developed, and Zhang Xiaolin parasitized it, and since then he has been very rich!
However, the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant. Zhang Xiaolin is not satisfied with making a living by extortion in the Shanghai Chinese Commercial Gauze Exchange. In 1937, the Japanese army launched the August 13 Incident. In late October, the war situation deteriorated, and Chiang was ready to abandon Shanghai.
At this time, although Du Yuesheng was a generation younger than Zhang Xiaolin, he became the boss of the Youth Gang in Shanghai because of his correct position. Zhang Xiaolin was dissatisfied, so he became suspicious. And Huang Jinrong announced his retirement. Zhang Xiaolin predicted that if the Japanese wanted to take root in Shanghai, they would first have to win over local forces. Seeing that Du Yuesheng went to Hong Kong, Huang Jinrong is no longer in charge, where will Zhang Xiaolin let go of this opportunity!
Sure enough, as Zhang Xiaolin expected, in early November, Shanghai Tang fell except for the concession area. And Matsui Ishone, the commander of the Japanese Shanghai Dispatch Army, soon came to visit with gifts. Under the firewood, the Japanese devils and traitors quickly reached an agreement.
In addition to receiving a large amount of "subsidies" from the Japanese every month, Zhang Xiaolin also organized his disciples to establish the so-called "New Asia Peace Promotion Association." In the name of the "New Asia Peace Promotion Association", he wantonly suppressed the anti-Japanese salvation movement and killed patriots. They also forcibly purchased grain, cotton, coal, medicine, and other materials at low prices, and in addition to recruiting troops and horses for themselves, they also sold them to the Japanese at higher prices, making a windfall.
And Zhang Xiaolin, as one of the "Three Tycoons of the Green Gang" in Shanghai, has a wide range of contacts, many disciples, and great influence. This defection to the enemy caused many people who were originally hesitant to switch to the Japanese and defect to the enemy and treason. For example, Ji Yunqing, although the main contact person for his defection to the enemy and treason is Li Shiqun, most of the credit is due to Zhang Xiaolin, an old acquaintance who has a good life.
And after such a pivotal figure defected to the enemy, the Nationalist Government immediately felt uneasy. Lao Jiang directly ordered Dai Li to get rid of Zhang Xiaolin. However, Zhang Xiaolin had many disciples and was guarded by the Japanese. It's not easy to assassinate. Chen Gongshu and Chen Mo made many shots, losing their troops and losing their generals, but they were also unsuccessful. just assassinated Zhang Xiaolin's cadre Yu Yefeng.
And this Yu Yefeng is a figure at the same level as Ji Yunqing, and he is the boss of the Green Gang second only to Zhang Xiaolin. At 8 o'clock in the evening of January 15, 1940, when Yu Yefeng was watching Peking Opera on the renewal stage of the Shanghai Public Concession, Chen Mo sent someone to infiltrate and kill Yu Yefeng.
At this time, although the military commanders succeeded in assassinating Ji Yunqing and Yu Yefeng one after another, they could be regarded as giving Lao Jiang and Dai Li an explanation. But it can be regarded as a scareless snake. With these two assassinations in front of them, the traitors of all sizes in Shanghai are much more careful when they go out. And Zhang Xiaolin strengthened the guards, and every time he went out, he hugged him from front to back. So that Chen Gongshu and Chen Mo had no chance to start, so they had to find another way!
