Speaking of the past in Shanghai a hundred years ago, Du Yuesheng is a name that cannot be bypassed no matter what. He was the most legendary figure in Shanghai in the first half of the 20th century.
Du Yuesheng, named Yong, Yuesheng, was born in Shanghai in 1888 and died in Hong Kong in 1951 at the age of 64.
He came from a humble background, lost his mother at the age of 2, lost his father at the age of 5, and lost his stepmother at the age of 8. He was alone and without support. It was such an orphan who did not eat three meals a day, and broke into the Shili Yangchang in desperation. He started from the bottom, speculatively drilled, and gradually grew into a tycoon of Megatron Shanghai Beach.
He is a master of both black and white, spanning the business, military, and political circles, and also extending his tentacles to the financial, news, newspaper, education and other industries. High-level politicians are either disciples or mentors, or brothers and sisters...
He was hailed by later generations as the emperor of Shanghai, the godfather of gangsters, and the first gang leader in China.
However, there is a certain deviation in people's understanding of such a man who has influenced Shanghai for decades. What is this? There are five reasons for
:
1, Du Yuesheng only attended a private school for 4 months when he was six years old, and he could barely write his name , and I did not have any written materials left.
2 After all, Du Yuesheng started his career as an underworld figure, relying on opium and casinos to make his fortune, and there are countless victims, so the official history did not leave him too much information .
3, Du Yuesheng's interactions with people are known only to the parties involved. Du Yuesheng himself has passed away, and most of the parties are no longer alive. Even living people were reluctant to speak out because most of their interactions with Du Yuesheng at that time were about gangs or some unspeakable things.There are indeed many people who wrote Du Yuesheng in
4, and later . There are about forty or fifty books about Du Yuesheng on the market, but most of them are legends or novels, many of which are made up or imagined, and exist in fact certain differences.
5. If you want to know the history of Du Yuesheng, you can refer to the materials written by several people around him. For example, Du Yuesheng's secretary Hu Xuwu, housekeeper
Let’s take a few details as an example:
1 and Du Yuesheng developed gradually through the power of , golden glory and , so it is a very crucial link for Du Yuesheng to enter the Huang Mansion, but there are different opinions on how he entered the Huang Mansion. There are probably several types of
:
Some people say that it was introduced to Huang Jinrong by Du Yuesheng's master in Qing Gang , "Collection of Signs Fusheng" Chen Fusheng.
Some people say that it was Huang Zhenyi, nicknamed "Rice Bucket Asan", who was the senior brother of the gangster Chen Fusheng of the Qing Gang, who introduced Du Yuesheng to Huang Jinrong.
Some people say that Huang Jinrong has a thug named Ma Xiangsheng. Ma Xiangsheng and Du Yuesheng are fellow students of the Youth Gang, and he introduced Du Yuesheng to Huang Jinrong.
Some people say that Du Yuesheng's master Chen Fusheng and Huang Jinrong's thug Ma Xiangsheng are friends. Chen Fusheng recommended Du Yuesheng to Ma Xiangsheng, and then Ma Xiangsheng introduced him to Huang Jinrong.
Some people say that Huang Jinrong accidentally found Du Yuesheng very clever and well-behaved during the case handling process, and took the initiative to absorb Du Yuesheng to his side.
...
2, and Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong are also known as Shanghai Beach's three tycoons , is Zhang Xiaolin . Zhang Xiaolin, originally Zhang Yin, courtesy name Xiaolin, is a native of Zhejiang. Later, I felt that the name Xiaolin was not heroic enough, so I changed my name to Zhang Xiaolin under the guidance of the fortune teller.
Du Yuesheng has performed many performances under the Golden Rong Gate, but the understanding process of Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin is quite different from various records:
Some people say that Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin have known each other earlier, when Du Yuesheng had just wandered into Shiliu Lipu on the Shanghai Beach At that time, he had a fight with a group of hooligans and was rescued by Zhang Xiaolin, who was also working hard in Shanghai.
Some people say that Zhang Xiaolin took the initiative to find Jinrong Rong's family, and asked to cooperate with Huang Jinrong to sell tobacco soil. Unexpectedly, it was rejected by Huang Jinrong, so he found Du Yuesheng, a proud disciple of Huang Jinrong, and asked to recommend cooperation on his behalf, and the two met.
Someone else said that Du Yuesheng encountered difficulties when selling tobacco and soil, so he suggested to Huang Jinrong. He heard that Zhang Xiaolin had many high-level relationships, so he invited Zhang Xiaolin to join the team, and the two met.
...
3, what is the name of Du Yuesheng's father?
There are about three kinds of books on the market today: Du Wenqing, Du Wenqing, and Du Wenqing. Why does this happen with
? The main reason is that Du Yuesheng was still young when his parents died, and his only close relatives were his uncle, uncle and grandmother, and his distant relatives had an aunt. Among his close relatives, there is actually no literate person, so he only knows that the sound in his name is qing, and no one can tell which qing it is.After
, Zhang Gujun, Xu Zhucheng and others specially searched for a lot of materials for research, but they did not expect the results to be different, which led to different names for later books:
was written by Du Wenqing, which should be influenced by Zhang Gujun's work;
was written as Du Wenqing should be influenced by Xu Zhucheng;
written by Du Wenqing should be influenced by newspapers during the Republic of China.
So, what is the name of Du Yuesheng's father?
4. After Du Yuesheng became famous, he married several wives.
His wife's wife has a son named Du Weifan, and Du Yuesheng also regards this child as his eldest son and loves him very much. Huang Jinrong also recognized the child as his adopted son and took more care of him. A very authoritative biography of Du Yuesheng also believes that this child was born to the elder wife.
But why, Du Yuesheng's seventh son , Mr. Du Weishan , specifically denied it in the book of oral history, what exactly is this? How is the truth?
Is this child really born by Mrs. Du Yuesheng?
5. What is even more exaggerated is the story of Du Yuesheng and his fourth wife Yao Yulan.
Xiao Lanying is Yao Yulan's mother and has a daughter named Yao Yuying. Their mother and daughter are all Peking Opera actors. Du Yuesheng, a famous Peking Opera fancier, is very fascinated by the wonderful performances of Yao Yulan, mother and daughter.
Some people said that Du Yuesheng not only liked their performances, but also harbored mischief for the mother and daughter, and wanted to put the mother and daughter to bed together, and married all three "Yao's mother and daughter" in one go. Later, due to the desperate resistance of Yao Yulan's mother, Du Yuesheng finally only married Yao Yulan as the fourth concubine.
this, true or false?
Actually, some of the stories above are true and false.What is true and what is false in
, let us gradually find the answer in the next serialized "The Wisdom of Rogue Tycoon Du Yuesheng".
What's more important is that Du Yuesheng's life was all-round and all-powerful, how did he do it? Let us learn his wisdom from middle school together!
