Executioner
The man in the dart game, the guy who shouted to open the way when he walked the dart. For example, the executioner of the Luoyang Tiger Wei Dart Bureau raised the dart flag on the way and shouted: "Tiger roars in Zhongzhou!" Tiger roars in Zhongzhou! Please borrow from friends in the rivers and lakes! (See Liang Yusheng's "Ming Di Fengyun Record")
The dart bureau receives money from people, and by virtue of martial arts, it is an organization dedicated to protecting people's property or personal safety. Also known as dart walking. In the old days, the transportation was inconvenient, the passenger travel was difficult and unsafe, the bodyguard industry came into being, and the dart bureau was established. The dart board has a dart flag and a dart number. With the increasing complexity of social life, the work undertaken by the dart bureau has become more and more extensive, not only to undertake the delivery of ordinary private property, but also to rely on the money paid by the magistrate to transport the money paid by the dart bureau. Since the Dart Bureau has contacts with various places or has a semicolon, some remittance operations are also undertaken by the Dart Bureau. Later, the caretaker and the protection bank also came to the dart bureau to send people. At that time, the residence of Li Hongzhang, the minister of the Beiyang Political (Crab) Government, was protected by the Friends Dart Bureau, one of the eight major dart bureaus in Beijing. Huiyou was the largest dart game in Beijing at that time, and the others included Yongxing, Zhicheng, Zhengxing, Yiyou, Guangxing and other dart games.
The bodyguards of the dart bureau mainly include water and land routes. When a dart master goes on the road, he must not only be successful, but also know the lip dictionary, that is, the jargon, in order to deal with the green forest characters who rob the dart. When walking darts, if you find thorn strips on the road, you know that something is ahead. This is called "the evil tiger blocking the way", and these thorny strips cannot be picked up by themselves, and they must be prepared to meet the robbers. If you climb the friendship and agree with each other, you can pass smoothly. Otherwise, you have to rely on the level of martial arts.
The dart game not only depends on the robbers on the rivers and lakes to survive, but also has a close relationship with the rivers and lakes. Some Jianghu people who have received the attention of the government, if they live in the dart bureau after entering the city, the government cannot arrest them. First, because the dart game is powerful, and secondly, the dart game often has backers, such as Li Hongzhang, the backstage of the Beijing Huiyou Dart Bureau. After the development of society, with the opening of trains, automobiles and ships, the dart board gradually became unsustainable, and the eight major dart boards in Beijing were closed one after another. The club, which has a history of more than 300 years, was closed in 1921.
Dart is a very special industry. In general martial arts novels, the dart game is often classified as a vein of the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, but in fact, the dart game has both dealings with the green forest and the government, and its benefits determine its nature. Between the government and the people, the game often shows a contradictory dilemma.
Dart game has always been a unique industry common in ancient Chinese society and martial arts novels, and among many martial arts novels, robbers and bodyguards are more often used as important interspersed bridges, and Bai Yu's "Twelve Money Darts" can be said to be one of the prominent examples. In recent years, in martial arts games, there have also been some people who have paid attention to the theme of dart games, such as the dart world, the Central Plains dart game, etc., which are all computer games that have attracted the attention of martial arts fans. What kind of industry is a dart game? We know a little bit about its functions, but how does it actually work? Why is it in such a special position on the rivers and lakes? Perhaps, from the following collation, I can try to reach some understanding of the dart game for you.
1. What is a dart game?
A dart board is an institution that receives money from people and relies on martial arts to protect people's property or personal safety. Also known as dart walking. In the old days, the transportation was inconvenient, the passenger travel was difficult and unsafe, the bodyguard industry came into being, and the dart bureau was established. The dart board has a dart flag and a dart number. With the increasing complexity of social life, the work undertaken by the board is becoming more and more extensive. In addition to undertaking the delivery of ordinary private property, the money paid by the magistrate was also transported by the dart bureau. Since the Dart Bureau has contacts with various places or has a semicolon, some remittance operations are also undertaken by the Dart Bureau. Later, the caretaker and the protection bank also came to the dart bureau to send people. At that time, the residence of Li Hongzhang, the minister of the Beiyang Political (Crab) Government, was protected by the Huiyou Dart Bureau, one of the eight major dart bureaus in Beijing. Huiyou was the largest dart game in Beijing at that time, and the others included Yongxing, Zhicheng, Zhengxing, Tongxing, Yiyou, Guangxing and other dart games.
Second, the establishment of the dart board
In the Jianghu Lip Dictionary (black language, jargon), the bodyguard is called Tuo Xiansun. The establishment of a dart board generally includes:
1. The master of the dart game.
2. Total dart head.
3. Dart heads and dart masters who are engaged in bodyguard work.
4. The big shopkeeper.
5. Executioner.
6. Guys and handymen who manage chores.
The master of the dart game talks about a wide range of people and good relationships; Rich and powerful, those who play the banner and black threshold (underworld characters or green forest heroes) dare not provoke, in case something happens, the official mansion will be leveled, and the dart will be robbed and can afford to pay two silver taels. The big shopkeeper talks about the clear eyes and careful calculations; Look at the goods without looking away, the valuation is not outrageous, there are absolutely no dots inside and out, and the expenses are never wasted. As for the chief dart, he is usually a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, either who is amazing in his own art industry, or a retired celebrity.
The dart head and dart master are responsible for the actual dart board on the road of the action, not only to be familiar with land kung fu and water kung fu, but also to be proficient in boxing, equestrian, good at using hidden weapons. In addition, the dart head and the dart master must also understand the rules and jargon of the rivers and lakes in order to deal with the green forest characters who may rob the dart. The executioner is the guy who shouts to open the way when he is in the aisle. For example, the executioner of the Luoyang Tiger Wei Dart Bureau raised the dart flag on the way and shouted: Tiger Roar Zhongzhou - Tiger Roar Zhongzhou! Please borrow from friends in the rivers and lakes! (See Liang Yusheng's "Ming Di Fengyun Lu") is an example.
When it comes to buddies and handymen, they are not only indispensable helpers in handling chores or going out to protect the darts in the game, but sometimes they also play the role of icing on the cake in the external relations of the game. For example, in Jin Yong's "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the Fuwei Dart Bureau opened by the Lin family hired a chef with outstanding cooking skills, and when entertaining dignitaries or friends in Fuzhou City, the food is current, and it is often easier to have a good relationship with the Fuwei Dart Bureau, which can be seen in the green leaf effect.
3. Open the dart game
The opening game must be played first
The characters on the table invite friends from both the official and private sides to come and cheer, this is called Liang Dart. If the relationship is not enough, the dart cannot be lit, and it will be difficult to do business in the future; If the popularity is not good, someone kicks the field when the dart is bright, and the door is simply closed after two strokes. If there is no accident with the dart, the dart game can be regarded as a foothold, but whether it can get ahead depends on whether the first dart can be set up for the first time (famous).
Fourth, the bodyguards are on the road
The buying and selling of the dart game is called a dart or a dart, that is, the dart master protects money and property on the road, and sometimes there are also people who protect people, which is called meat darts. The head of the dart or the experienced dart head is in charge of the dart, with a few dart masters with kung fu foundation, and a group of neat and clever guys; The silver goods were locked in the dart cart, the dart flag was planted on the car, and the man shouted the dart horn in his mouth, and rode the horse-drawn cart on the road.
As for the lineup of darts, what about the lineup? We might as well take a look at the relevant descriptions in the novel of the old-school martial arts master Zheng Zhengyin's "Eagle Claw King" to get a rough idea of its synopsis:
Lan Daxia then pushed the wind gate open, and saw that what they had protected this time was a batch of cash, a total of ten mules and donkeys; Each mule and pack had four silver scabbards, and forty silver sheaths for forty thousand pieces of silver, and they had to be unloaded when they dwelt in the store. There were eight men guarding the darts, two dart masters, and one executioner, but the dart master did not follow.
From this, we can probably understand the manpower used in this 40,000 silver dart, of course, the more valuable the thing, the more manpower the dart bureau will naturally send more manpower to complete the mission. Sometimes, the owner (the person who entrusts the escort) will go on the road with the board to make sure that the game is delivered safely, but not necessarily.
On the rivers and lakes, carrying important items on the road is divided into two ways: light and heavy, light walking refers to secretly going on the road, and re-walking is to ask bodyguards to escort the road. There are three ways to walk darts, one is a mighty dart, the second is a benevolent dart, and the third is a stealing dart. The mighty dart is a long long flag on the luggage, and the name of the dart master is written on the flag. The flags are all moving, and they are installed on them? Windlass. When the dart is walked, the dart flag is pulled to the top, which is called pulling through the top flag, and the gong beats the long mallet: Kuang! - Kuang! - Kuang! - Kuang! -- The dart players either raised their voices and shouted the trumpet, or shouted the name of the dart game, which is called Liang Dart. Take the benevolent and righteous dart, then fly the flag at half-mast and play the thirteen Taibao long mallet gongs, five-star gongs or seven-star gongs. If a certain level is so powerful that you don't let the team pass through it, and you can't win him, then you can only be quiet, car? Whip up the oil, put the flag away, sneak through, this is the dart.
The bodyguards of the dart bureau mainly include water and land routes. As mentioned earlier, when a dart master goes on the road, he must not only know martial arts, but also know the lip dictionary (jargon) on the rivers and lakes, so as to deal with the underworld characters who rob darts. When walking darts, if there are thorn strips on the road, you know that something is ahead. This is called the evil tiger blocking the way, and these thorns cannot be picked up by themselves, and they must be prepared to meet the robbers. If you climb the origin of friendship and agree with each other, you can pass smoothly, otherwise you have to rely on martial arts to see the high and low.
Walking on the rivers and lakes, eating, living, talking and behaving must be in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes. If you go to a wharf and meet any local uncle, you must first say a large set of idioms, hold a certain uncle's business card, and use the Haidilao Moon style. The other party also replied with words, placing his right fist on his left arm to see the level of their respective status. These need to be skillful in ordinary times, and temporary application is not easy. The dart master should also avoid speeding up (i.e., gibberish), eating in a restaurant, where the bowl is placed, that is, where the mover is fast. Opposite an unknown person, even if the other party also speaks jargon, you must kowtow to it, treat it respectfully, and treat it as a friend, so that even if the other party wants to find ballast, there is nothing to do. Even if you rely on the other party to steal someone else's things, you can't expose it. The highest level of the rivers and lakes does not care whether they speak jargon or not, but treats people with kindness and righteousness, praises people everywhere, and is polite and virtuous.
In the Northern Province Dart Nursing Hospital, usually pay attention to seven spring eight o'clock, seven spring is to speak jargon, which is easier to learn, eight o'clock belongs to the category of temporary changes, which is not easy to learn! It's as if someone outside suddenly asked: Friend! You're so nice about this hat, where did you buy it? Just say: It was sent by a friend! If he honestly answered where he bought the hat, he would know that the dart master was a layman, and he would start to design the robbery. In examples, the answer is usually this. Or someone who asks for directions says to the dart master: Have you ever seen a person wearing red in the past? You can answer: I didn't see anyone wearing red, I only saw a green one! Or he said to the dart master, "Your knife is good!" You can answer: a knife is good, but it is to bite! These responses are all within the scope of jargon, and if you don't know how to answer, disaster will start immediately. And when something like a chimney and straw is placed on the road, the dart master can say: Friend step on the wide! We're all our own people, and we can't get by! Kick these things to the side, because the robbers who put them are usually hidden to the side, watching if the dart master is not doing it. And so on and so forth.
