When you arrive in Tianjinwei, you will definitely hear the word "gangster", and there is another word higher than "gangster" called "Dayuan" (full name: Dayuanba). When it comes to "drama", three people have to mention it. One is Mr. Li Jin, the other is Mr. Wang, Li Jin's good friend, and the other is Mr. Yuan. These three people are like three old Huang, Du in green gang. Of the three people, except Yuan, who is not a thing, once worked for the Japanese. Although the other two are Jianghu people, they are much more generous. Their qualifications are also older than Yuan's, and Yuan didn't make trouble until he retired.
This "Li Jinao" became a famous "drama" of Tianjin Wei in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Of course, any "drama" must be transformed from a "gangster". Let's talk about Li Jinao when he was a gangster.
At first, Li Jin 'ao ate wharf rice. At that time, Tianjin Grand Wharf, Daguangming Wharf and the old leading railway station Tianjinwei were mixed. This is also a place where gangs gather. Li Jin 'ao, Huo Yuanjia, Yuan, Dongbatian, and other celebrities have all eaten this wharf meal.
Tianjin has a set of traditional books called On Heroes and On Gangsters. This book is very interesting. It tells the story of gangsters in the old society in detail, with Li Ji 'ao as the protagonist. Li Jinao is famous for the "second broken leg" incident. There were two factions fighting for the dock. Li Ji 'ao, who has not yet become famous, bears the brunt, but he was hit by a "sap" and broke his leg. Li Ji 'ao dragged his broken leg with an iron hook to fight with others, and finally the two sides tied.
Li Jin 'ao found a bonesetting gentleman near Sanguan and asked him to take over the leg, but this gentleman accepted the money from Li Jin 'ao's opponent and was forced to leave Li Jin 'ao with a little disability. The gentleman didn't dare to offend either side, so he didn't connect completely for the first time. After a hundred days, Li Jinao felt uncomfortable in his leg, so he went to this gentleman, who told the truth and let Li Jinao cut himself some slack. And told Li Jinao that if you want to recover your leg, you need to break it twice. Look at Li Jiao with a sneer, put his leg on the bench and punched it, only to hear a "click" and his leg was broken. Sir, you answer it!
Mr. bonesetting is really good at medicine. After some kneading, it is 100% connected. A hundred days later, he was still walking in the field, and Li Ji 'ao had to take revenge and seek revenge from the other side.
At that time, Tianjin Wei paid attention to "killing people", and the most ruthless one was "blackening". There are three people on each side desperately, chopping hands and feet and daring to fight anything. In the end, the most desperate side won. Li Jin 'ao didn't want his brother to suffer, so he went to find the other party's "theory" himself.
One day, Li Jinao appeared in front of a treasure bureau (casino). The owner of this treasure bureau was the one who sent someone to break his leg at that time. Look at Li Jin 'ao striding towards the treasure bureau, squeezing through the crowd and taking money at the gambling table. Suddenly, I saw Li Ji 'ao pull out a sword from his leggings. Li Xin, a gambler, said, we are here to make trouble today. Let's make way. But no one was afraid, because this kind of thing was common at that time. People often lose money in gambling games, then cut off their little fingers and continue to "gamble". Need to explain, it must be the little finger of the left hand, then gently pick it up with the thumb and forefinger of the right hand, and the fingertip points to the dealer. During this period, you can't shout pain or grin, otherwise it doesn't count. And cutting off the wrong finger doesn't count, and you have to be beaten. If you win, you will get a part of the treasure bureau. If you lose this little finger, you can't pick it up. I'll kill you if you answer it. And only once. If you lose, turn around and leave. If you want to cut off the second finger again, it will break the Jianghu rules. Someone will beat you half to death and throw you out at once.
When everyone saw it, they all wondered why Li Jinao and Li also ate this bowl of rice, so they wouldn't. When the person in charge of the gambling table saw it, he knew that Li Jinao was not coming. He smiled and asked, "Sir, do you want to play two games?"
Look at Li Jiao sneer at 1, put his thigh on the gambling table, and with a "stab", he tore his trouser legs, picked a sharp knife on his calf and cut off a bloody piece of meat. Then stir up the meat with the tip of the knife, throw it on the gambling table and shout "bet"!
At this time, the blood on my calf flowed out, but Li Er kept his face straight and smiled at the steward. When everyone saw it, they all said, "Hero, Li Er fought hard. Today, there is a lively look. " . Everyone stopped gambling, and we will see how this treasure game ends one by one.
When the steward saw this, he took his time and said with a smile, "Sir, how much do you want to bet?" Li Ji' ao replied: "Two thousand oceans!"
This is a deal of ten get one free. If you bet two thousand dollars, if you win, you will get twenty thousand dollars. If you lose this piece of meat, it will be cut for nothing. "Good, Sir Zhong bet two thousand dollars to open the treasure!"
Guess what, the old man has eyes, and Mr. Zhong won. Everyone cheered, and then the shopkeeper came out from behind. In fact, Li Jinao heard the letter when he entered the door, hiding behind the curtain, just to see the result. Now that Li Jinao has won, he must stand up.
The shopkeeper surnamed Chen, known as Master Chen, is also a "big joke" and has contacts with the Japanese in the concession. At this point, Chen smile happily of come out, fuels hand "Sir Zhong, is this why? Come, come, please go inside and let the waiter give you medicine. "
Li Jin 'ao reciprocated by holding the fuels with him and limping into the patio with Chen Jin. There is no need to mention that he should play outside. In the back hall, the host and guest were seated. Master Chen asked someone to make tea, and then asked the waiter to give Master Chen some "good medicine". Listen up, everyone. This "good medicine" is not a precious herb, such as Yunnan Baiyao. It is Chili noodles or coarse salt. Apply this to the wound. The boy ran back in an instant, dragging a big paper bag in his hand. Master Chen shouted, "What the fuck are you doing? Put it on Master Chen! "
Opening the paper bag, it was full of thin Chili noodles. The waiter bent down and put a hand on Li Jiao's bloody wound. A tingle in Mr. Zhong's pain made him sweat, but he still smiled and chatted with Mr. Chen. At this moment, you hum and shout, it hurts, then you are planted.
Third Master Chen asked the man to fetch cigarettes. Took the cigarette and handed it to Li Jinao with both hands. Master Chen said, "What if there is smoke and no fire?" Li Jiao knew that Chen had already looked at him. There is a small charcoal stove burning with water. Li See will Jin Ao picked up the kettle and put it aside, leaned out two fingers from the stove, and took out a burning briquette, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then put the briquette directly on his lap. Continue chatting while smoking.
At first glance, Chen is just a hard nut and a man, and he can't compare with others in this respect. From then on, the brothers stopped eating this meal on the dock and gave it to Li Er. Since then, Li Jinao has been thriving in Tianjinwei, getting bigger and bigger.
When he really gets mixed up, Li Jinao will be different from before. He will take off his shorts and put on a gown, and he will wear whatever the literati wears. Although you have money, you don't waste it, don't smoke cigarettes, and don't visit the kiln, giving people a sense of honesty. He bought several houses for his family, and the neighbors got along well. Never bully others, although Li Jinao has a shuttle bus, he is 200 meters away from home. Rain or shine, he can get off early and let the car go first. He walked home by himself, in order to tell his neighbors that he was nothing, not the kind of person who could show off with money.
Once, shortly after dark, Li Jinao got off the bus early and walked home along the alley with a big grass carp. Just entering the hutong, two new gangsters came out, snatched the fish, cursed the street and walked away. In fact, this is not a serious gangster. Tianjin calls this number "smelly dog food", which is worse than a gangster. Li Jinao doesn't explain, argue, rob or curse, so just take it.
Later, when someone found out, he asked him how you, such a big fool, were bullied by smelly dog food. Li Jinao smiled and said, "Hey, I'm not afraid of them. I'm afraid I'll tell them my name and scare them to death. It's just a fish. It's no use being melodramatic! " Look at this, everyone. Li is Mr. Liu. If you don't show it clearly, you are afraid of scaring you.
Ok, that's all for today. When there is an opportunity, the big lion will tell you some more interesting stories about gangsters, which is definitely more enjoyable than listening to this!
Li Ao was a famous figure in Tianjin Wei Dynasty.
Li Jinao was born in poverty, but he was never poor. He practiced martial arts since he was a child. He is warm-hearted, honest and frank. Li Jin 'ao often works in Tianjin Grand Pier, Daguangming Pier and Laolongtou Railway Station to help poor brothers solve problems and fight bravely. Everyone in Tianjin doesn't know him.
Li Jiao:
There was a flood in Tianjinwei, all the shops and shops near the pier were damaged, and the business of all walks of life was also affected.
At this time, there happened to be a Shanghai Opera Troupe, and there was a little "Jiao" in it, who was called "a famous Southern School Dan".
Although the play is well sung, it can catch up with the floods in Jin and Wei, and the lives of ordinary people are in question. How can we have spare money to go to the theatre?
Little Yang Yuelou had no choice but to put a dozen boxes of singing costumes in the pawnshop, and when the money came, he bought rice and noodles for the troupe to eat.
I hope I can sing some songs to get some money back after the flood recedes. I didn't expect ordinary people to have no money to go to the theatre. I finally scraped together some money to buy a ticket back to Shanghai, but I didn't have the money to redeem it.
At this time, someone pointed him out and asked Li Jinlong for help. Ye Li has always been brave and will definitely help you.
Yang Yuelou Jr. crustily skin of head went to Li Jinfa and told him the situation, saying that as long as Li Jinfa helped, he would remit the ransom as soon as he got back to Shanghai, and Li Jinfa told them to go back and wait for news.
The next day, Li Jinao came to the pawnshop and shouted at the counter.
The pawnbroker heard his name for a long time, so he invited Ye Li to have tea in the back. Li Jinlong said:
How dare the pawnshop owner refuse! Yang Yuelou Jr. quickly retrieved his wardrobe and returned to Shanghai.
Not to mention, the singer really kept his word and quickly remitted the ransom.
When Li Jinlong saw that Yang Yuelou kept his promise, they became friends. Later, Yang Yuelou Jr. was entrusted by Li Jinao to raise money for the benefit performance of the affected people in Tianjin, saving countless people.
When Li Jin 'ao was a child, his family was poor and eating was a problem. One of his neighbors, Li, runs a shoe store. Seeing that Li Jin 'ao and his wife were having a hard time, he took Li Jin 'ao to the shoe store and taught him some skills so that he could have a meal in the future.
There is a dart shop not far from Li's shoe store. There are two masters in the shop: Master Feng and Master Han. Look at Li Jin 'ao. He loves him very much. Li Jinao knows that these two are Jianghu people, and he likes to run here when he is free. He listened to his old brothers telling stories about Jianghu and learned from them.
After several years, Li Jin 'ao not only made great progress in kung fu, but also made clear the rules of the Jianghu.
One day, Li Jin 'ao went to the pass of Peking University. He hadn't gone far when he saw some gangsters molesting a woman and making fun of her.
Li Jinao couldn't help feeling angry. He stepped forward and shouted, Stop it!
Several gangsters rushed Li Jiao Yang Yang's stick:
Li Jiao laughed.
Aha, when the gangster heard that there was such a silly bird, he ran towards him. Eight bearers came up with one foot, and Li Jiao was expressionless:
Then there is a set of tan legs. Several gangsters were kicked out more than three feet away and were terrified. They got up and ran.
All the people onlookers surrounded Li Jiao said in chorus:
Li Jin 'ao loves to be attacked, and he dares to fight hard. I had a fight and my leg was broken.
He dragged his broken leg to pick up Mr. Li's leg. Mr. Li took money from others and asked Li Jinao not to pick it up, so he didn't pick it up. After a few months, Li Jinao was still unable to move, so he went to the gentleman and asked how the leg could not be connected properly.
Mr. Jiegu:
The gentleman said, you have to break it again to connect it. Taking his word, Li Ji 'ao stood up, sneered, broke a leg on the stool, and then let the old man pick it up without batting an eye.
Mr Xie tui was too scared to be a traitor. After that, Li Jinao's reputation for bravery and ruthlessness became even greater.
Later, when the Japanese occupied Tianjin, Li Jinao was still unwilling to help the Japanese and safeguard national integrity.
In order to avoid the entanglement of the Japanese, he left Tianjin and later disappeared. Some people say that if he joined the anti-Japanese team to fight Japan, he might die in battle.

It should be said that he was a gangster in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Pay attention to this era, the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Tianjin Wei in this period can be said to be the most prosperous and chaotic period. Prosperity is no less harmful to Hong Kong than chaos, which is also a time when people from all walks of life compete to appear. Li's main activities were in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and he was a big gang connecting the past with the future. When he became famous, the famous green gang had not established himself in Tianjin. So his Jianghu personality is stronger than hooliganism.
Supplementary answer
Li Jinao is not a real person. Historically, Li Jin 'ao, a military man in Xianfeng period, was a general of the Nian Army, and he was not the same person. And this Li Jin 'ao from Tianjin is a storyteller compiled by Zhang Shouchen's younger brother and Li Dexiang's apprentice, Mr. Ma Yihua, according to the story of Tianjin gangsters. During the Republic of China, he was active in Tianjin, and together with Wang Jinbo, he was the principal and deputy stockman of "Pot Households" in Yongfengtun, western Tianjin in the late Qing Dynasty. To say that he is not a real person means that there is such a gangster, but many stories about him are made up. Because during the Republic of China, the so-called black society forces in Tianjin were mainly under the control of the Qing Hongbang, and most of them had multiple identities, either senior officials of the Republic of China or Japanese puppet traitors. It's really hard to find a real gangster with a heroic image. Therefore, in the name of Li Jin 'ao, Mr. Ma Lao created works such as Gangsters and Heroes, which were recognized and loved by the broad masses of the people. Coupled with the strong support of Mr. Guo in recent years, Li Jinfa's image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The underworld affiliated to society is definitely famous in Tianjin. This man is ruthless. One: People are making trouble in Shanghai. In Jinweiqiao, Hebei District, Tianjin, Dr. Su took his leg, but it could not work normally. The man asked Dr. Su what to do on the spot. Dr. Su said that he would take his leg apart for the second time. Without saying anything, this man broke his leg at the threshold of Dr. Su's house on the spot. The frightened Dr. Su immediately broke his leg when he was exploring the moon. This is the second time that Li Jinao has broken his leg. The family goes west and never bullies people at the door. This is a famous custom in Tianjin. But his moral character is much stronger than Yuan's. At least he didn't become a traitor.
During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were two gangs' "paradise" in China, one was Shanghai Beach and the other was Tianjin Wei.
If we say that Huang and Du are the pinnacles of Shanghai's "gangs"; As a result, Li Ji 'ao became the peak of Tianjin Wei's "gangsters".
However, compared with Huang, Du, and other famous three richest people in Shanghai, Li Jinao is mysterious and strange.
Why are their reputations so different? Because the former had much to do with the mainstream forces (Kuomintang and Japanese aggressors) at that time, while the latter had little to do with it, it was naturally difficult to see the footprints of history, and most of its deeds came from folklore, novels and cross talk.
So, what kind of person is Li Jiao?
Li Jin 'ao, a vicious and chivalrous gangster, was born in poverty and made a living in Tianjin, which is similar to Du Fu's Wandering on the Beach.
What is "three no matter"?
In the late Qing Dynasty, heather was the territory of French concession, Japanese concession and Qing government. Underground places such as opium dens, kilns and treasure houses (casinos) are everywhere, and violent fights are often staged, which can be described as "various". Because of the competition for interests, the French and the Japanese often have disputes. The weak Qing government did not dare to offend any party at all, so it almost ignored it, so it was called "three concerns"

Because of the "three no matter", it is quite chaotic here. Chaos is a "fertile ground" for gangsters to breed, and locals call it "Zabadi".
By the time of the Japanese puppet government in the Republic of China, the chaos here was better than before. For the chaos here, Mr. Lu Xun once described it like this: "Walking around, there are very few local ruffians in Tianjin, and they are arrogant."
It is in this historical background that Li Jin 'ao became a punk when he first arrived in Heather, commonly known as "mixed star", and was called "mixed for a while" in the industry (meaning mixed food). It is also called "smelly dog food" because it is so evil that local people hate it very much.
One day, the young master of a local aristocratic family was sitting in an eight-sedan chair. When I passed the "front door" of Yongfengtun where Li Jin 'ao lived, I met a gorgeous woman and went forward to flirt.
This scene happened to be seen by Li Jinao. He was very angry. Regardless of the threat of Tong Fu, he resolutely stepped forward to stop it and lay down in front of the sedan chair to "sell the taste" (referring to being beaten).
As a result, the young master of Tong family was furious: "Kill him, and I'll keep an eye on him!" So, the bearers tore off the pole of the sedan chair and broke Li Ji 'ao's leg.
Afterwards, the master of Tong Jia's bad heart was still unwilling to let Li Jinao go and bribed the osteopath not to treat his leg. Therefore, although he was fractured, he was missing a leg bone, which caused him to "kneel in one step" (called "face planting" in jargon).
However, Li Jinao doesn't want to lose face because of this. He broke his leg and found a doctor to reattach his bone.
Although Li Jinao suffered unimaginable pain for this, he also broke the "role name" and changed from a small mix to a big mix.
At the same time, because he didn't "trip" during the second fracture, that is, he didn't cry out for pain, so he got the attention of others, paid him money for treatment, and gave him a sum of money every month after the injury, commonly known as "sharing a piece of cake" or "playing tricks", which was called "playing tricks" by the locals.
Therefore, Li Jin 'ao mixed up a little tricks in the army of gangsters in Tianjinwei, and everyone called him "Li".
At that time, many gangsters who had some tricks in Tianjin took refuge in the Japanese who occupied Tianjin. For example, the godfathers of Jinmen, Yuan, Liu Guanghai, Tong Haishan, etc. With the help of the Japanese, they have done many things for the Japanese, the most famous of which is the Haihe River Floating Body Case.
However, Li Jinao, who is also a "big bully", did not take refuge in the Japanese, and still maintained the bottom line of China people, with a kind heart.
One day, he saw an old man pulling a cart to deliver water. He was struggling when he passed an uphill. So he quickly stepped forward to help push the cart. Who knows, when I pushed my hand up the hill, I heard a "stab". It turned out that the big leather cotton-padded jacket I was wearing was cut by the wire on the car.
When the old man looked back, it turned out to be "Li" and he was shocked. Because you can't afford this expensive big leather cotton-padded jacket.
So, the old man was so scared that he knelt on the ground to apologize to Li Jinao and said that he would sew him up.
Yuan, the godfather of Guinness.
However, Li Jinao, who was already a little depressed, took off the big leather cotton-padded jacket and handed it to the old man, saying, "What is this? Get up, sew it, here you are, sew it yourself! "
Seeing this, all the onlookers gave thumbs up and said that Li Er was a juggler.
On another occasion, because the famous Peking Opera Hua Dan actor Xiao Yang Yuelou (formerly known as Yang Huinong) was assassinated, he was extremely embarrassed and had to pawn his costume for money. Later, he wanted to redeem his costume and return to his old job, but he had no money and was extremely annoyed.
When Li Jin 'ao learned that, he redeemed his costume, which made Yang Yuelou very grateful.
In the twelfth lunar month of the same year, the brothers Li Jin 'ao lost their economic resources because of the freezing of the river. Knowing this situation, Yang Yuelou Jr. raised money through charity performances to help them tide over the difficulties.
Soon, because of the same loyalty, the two became brothers.
Therefore, everyone called Li Jinao "the wonderful flower of the market".
Although Li Ji 'ao's position in the Jianghu is getting higher and higher, he always insists on a low-key lifestyle.
A low-key and mysterious gangster, it is said that Li Jinao is the highest in green gang (also known as An green gang), that is, the twentieth generation of "Li", followed by the fourth generation of "Da, Tong, Wu and Jue".
Because green gang's generational division is based on the words "Qing, Jing, Tao (three ancestors), morality, literature, success, Buddhism, law, benevolence, ethics, wisdom, wisdom, self-confidence, yuan, Ming, Xing, reason, greatness, communication, enlightenment and awareness".
For example, Yuan Kewen, the second son of President Yuan Shikai, is a "big" generation; There is also Zhang Xiaolin, the leader of Shanghai green gang, who worships Fan Jincheng, the word "big" in Shanghai and green gang, and becomes the word "tong" in Shanghai and green gang; Du worships this old rascal with the word "Tong" in green gang. Naturally, he can only be ranked below "Wu", which is lower than that. Therefore, Du can only be at the bottom of the three richest people in Shanghai.

At the same time, there are rumors that a two-inch piece of paper can kill a person. For example, he took a piece of paper and wrote "Li Si" on it. Li Si died, that's all.
However, his principle of doing things is extremely low-key. Every time he goes home by car, he will get off at a place where there are three hutongs from home and walk back. So, when he reached the peak, he kept a low profile to the point where few people knew him.
One day, Li Jin 'ao walked home with two fish. When I passed a Hu, I was stopped by a punk and said the fish was his. So, Li Jinao immediately smiled and "offered".
Later someone asked him why. He said he was afraid of scaring each other to death.
It can be seen that Li Jin 'ao has a high position in the rivers and lakes, and how low-key and mysterious he is in dealing with people, even so low-key and mysterious that it is difficult to see even a photo.
Excuse me, did you hear it from Tianjin people or from Degang Guo storytelling?
It's hard to say whether there is such a person as Li Jinfa in history.
Even if there is, his story may not be true.
However, it is interesting to mention gangsters.
Gangsters in Tianjin are different from those in other places. Elsewhere, two gangs fight, you hit me and I hit you. See who can beat each other.
Tianjin gangsters beat themselves. Let's see who did this to themselves. More cruel than anyone else's means of self-harm. To scare each other. It's scary.
There are several things about Li Jinao, the gangster in this story.
First, Mr. Jiegu was instructed not to connect his legs correctly. Li Jinao broke his leg by himself, so let him connect it.
Second, go to a gambling game and cut a piece of meat from your calf as a bet. After that, I put pepper seedlings and coarse salt on the wound. Most people feel pain when they hear it, but this one has to pretend to be okay and endure.
Third, after becoming famous, you have money. I keep a low profile. I was robbed by a fledgling troll, and I didn't explain it. Being judged has the wind of a general.
Is it the one with the broken second leg? .
