Escort agency, formerly known as Escort Agency, is an ancient business of "collecting money to protect people from disasters". With its extraordinary martial arts, it is an organization dedicated to protecting the property or personal safety of others. A Qing Wu recorded in "Gossip at a Guest Window is Difficult for a Woman": "My uncle Jin's family owns a foreign ship and does business in the East China Sea. Every ship must have a standard guest to prevent thieves. " "Hong Jun, who bravely cleared the banknotes, and the third-class thrifty" also said: "Sometimes there are giants who sell foreign goods, suffer pirates, and hire them to fight floods." Escort agencies undertake a wide range of work, not only undertaking and delivering general private property, but also guarding homes and protecting companies and banks. It is said that the home of Li Hongzhang, the minister of Beiyang government, is protected by AIA Escort Agency, one of the top ten escort agencies in China. In film and television works and martial arts novels, we also see various interpretations and descriptions of escort agencies. Escort agency is covered with mysterious veil, which seems to be full of infinite mystery. The real bodyguard profession is not as simple and interesting as we thought. It has various rules and ways of life that others don't know. This is both dangerous and difficult. Mr. Gu Mi, the author of "The Spring and Autumn Annals of Escort Agency", summed up a set of successful theories for the 500-year history of Escort Agency: "Officials should have a hard background, green forests should have a hard relationship and hard work". What are the taboos of escort agencies that have survived for 500 years in the history of China? There are many rules for escort agencies, such as three waterway rules: "Sleeping by day and waking by night", "People don't leave the ship", "Avoid women and stay in the land", "Don't stay in the newly opened shop", "Don't stay in the shop that changed owners" and "Don't stay in the prostitute shop" and so on. And there are also some laws that people can't figure out at the moment. There are three ways to run darts, one is mighty darts, the other is benevolent darts, and the third is stealing darts. A mighty dart is to insert a big flag on the luggage, and the name of the guard is written on the flag. Flags are all movable and have wheels on them. When throwing darts, pulling the dart flag to the top is called pulling the flag, and the gong hits the long mallet: "Kuang! Hey! " The escort either lights up the noise door and shouts, or shouts out the Jianghu name of our escort agency. This is called the power of Ming dart. Take the righteous dart, then lower the flag at half mast and play the thirteen-guard gong, five-star gong or seven-star gong. If a checkpoint is fierce, the team is not allowed to pass, and the fight can't beat him, then the only thing to do is to keep silent, the horse picks the bell, greases the wheel, puts the flag in place, and slips past. This is stealing darts. When the shuttle bus arrives in Cangzhou, it will pull down the dart flag and pass quietly. It is not allowed to shout the dart number. Otherwise, you will get more than one bargained for. In the late Qing Dynasty, "the dart doesn't shout Cangzhou" has become the practice of the north and south dart companies. Why can't Cangzhou shout darts alone? "Wu Lin Huizong" said: "In fact, in Cangzhou area, there are the most escorts, and the more experts the better." The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through Cang Jing, and the trunk lines of Beijing-Hebei and Beijing-Dalian run through the north and south. Cangzhou, Botou, Yanzhou, Hejian and xian county are all the north-south flood and drought transportation hubs. They are places where Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong and Henan commodities pass or commodity distribution centers, and they are also the main routes for the government to run darts. Therefore, the darts, hotels, shipping and other industries in Cangzhou are thriving. In competition in all walks of life, you must master high-powered martial arts to gain a foothold. At that time, Cangzhou, Hebei Province was the hometown of martial arts, and escort agencies all over the country showed respect for the military circles in Cangzhou, so once they entered Cangzhou, they could no longer shout darts. If you shout darts in Cangzhou, you are suspected of being brave. It's hard work not to play darts for three meetings. I want to sleep in the wind and face all kinds of dangers. Therefore, when the escort takes his disciples, he will teach them the skill of "three meetings and one no", which has gradually become a rule. One must be able to build a stove. Because most of the darts will be in the barren hills, in the middle of nowhere and in the back of nowhere, in order not to be hungry, we have to start our own business, build a stove to cook, and then we can eat. Second, you must be able to repair shoes. Shoes play a very important role in the escort's journey. They spend most of their time walking, and it will be very painful if they don't have a pair of shoes that fit them. Although shoes can be prepared or bought along the way, new shoes may not fit. Therefore, the escort must be able to repair shoes, so as not to affect walking. Third, if you can get a haircut. Darts sometimes disappear for several months, and they are likely to live in harsh environments. Travel-stained, a pair of appearance, occasionally passing by villages and towns, it is inevitable to visit local troops. China likes to pay attention to etiquette. When visiting others, he usually trims himself and goes decently. At this time, the escort has to learn to cut hair and dress himself. This will not only not lose the position, but also show the strength of the escort agency. Except for the "three meetings", it is "one no". This "one no" means not washing your face. In the process of escaping, "washing your face" and "going home" are synonyms. In the jargon of the dart man, it's time to wash your face, which means it's time to go home. The reason is that not washing your face is actually to protect your skin. People who have experience in extreme adventure sports will understand that when you are outdoors, it is cold in winter, windy in spring and autumn, and scorching in summer. After washing your face with soil and alkali, when the strong wind blows, your face will be easily injured, just like being cut by a knife. "Without rules, there would be no Fiona Fang." All walks of life have their own way of life and rules, and the cultural color of bodyguard industry determines the particularity of his rules. Related links: The escort agency used to be a standard bank. In ancient China, the post station was the only systematic postal transportation organization. But the post station is specially used to escort some letters and articles from and to the court. Some business exchanges between people have no security mechanism. So in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, escort agencies gradually appeared because of the need. Escort agency, also known as escort agency, is an organization that protects people's property or personal safety with money and martial arts. In the past, the darts of the escort agency were "standard". For example, in the fifty-fifth chapter of Jin Ping Mei in the Ming Dynasty, it was said that Ximen Qing "has two silk and satin shops at home, and now he wants to open a standard line." It shows that the dart line in Ming Dynasty is called "marking line". In the late Qing Dynasty, with the appearance of the draft bank, it was changed to the word "gold". The gold characters in front of the "dart" represent the 18 weapons in front, and the tickets at the back represent the bank's money. The so-called escort is to use force to ensure the safety of money. The escort agency is such a special institution, which is equivalent to the current security company. There are three things to do in escort agency business: first, there are hard backers in the government; Second, there is a hard relationship in the green forest; Third, we have our own efforts, and all three are indispensable. The organization of escort agency includes escort agency boss, chief escort, escorts engaged in bodyguard work, escorts, big shopkeepers, people who manage chores and handymen. The boss of the escort agency of the ancient security company talked to many people and had a good relationship. Rich and powerful people (gangsters or lawless elements) dare not provoke them. If something goes wrong, the government will be flat, and the dart will be robbed and compensated. The big shopkeeper said an eagle-eyed but careful abacus; Be optimistic about the goods, the valuation is not outrageous, it is absolutely necessary to do something up and down, and the cost will never be wasted. As for the chief escort, they are generally well-known figures in the Jianghu, and they are either amazing in their artistic career or famous after retirement. The business of the Escort Agency is called "selling darts" or "selling darts". According to the distance of the foot and the value of the goods, different "dart profits" are adopted, and a "dart slip" is signed after consultation, indicating the place of shipment, the name of the goods, the quantity and the amount of the dart profit. On the dart list, and each party should affix a book (that is, seal, its seal is not finalized). Escort to the designated place and business firm to obtain the dart profit. Escort usually has a general escort or an experienced escort "escort", as well as several skilled escorts and a group of agile guys; The silver goods were locked in a "dart car" with a "dart flag" hanging on it. The man shouted "Darts" in his mouth, holding a list of items to receive darts in his hand, and then holding a pass issued by the government-showing it to officers and men when he met a pass. In order to avoid entanglement, escorts sometimes secretly slip them some money. When you encounter a situation on the road, such as finding a thorny note in the middle of the road, you will know that something is wrong ahead. This is called "the evil tiger is in the way". These tough cops can't catch them by themselves. They must be ready to meet the robbers. The escort will order "the wheels turn around", which means that all escort vehicles form a circle and prepare to defend against the enemy. However, less than the last minute, it is generally a "broken dish" that will not confront each other head-on, that is, a face is torn, so the fight began. Only half of the people who make a living in Jianghu rely on martial arts, and the other half rely on slang in Jianghu. The people in the escort agency are holding the escort car, shouting the escort number, and constantly telling people: "Come with me!" With the increasing complexity of social life in Qing Dynasty, escort agencies undertook more and more extensive work. They not only guarantee the general private property, but also the salaries paid by local officials are delivered by the escort agency. Because the escort agencies have connections with various places or have semicolons, some remittance services are also undertaken by the escort agencies. Later home guards, protecting banks, etc. Also came to the escort agency to solve the problem. At first, the escort agency just sent letters and so on, which was called letter escort. By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, with the rise of the financial industry (the appearance of the ticket number), the main business of the escort agency was to escort silver darts for the ticket number, forming two escort systems of the escort agency: silver darts and ticket darts. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the gradual decline of the ticket number, the main business objects of the escort agency changed to protect the personal safety of some rich and distinguished guests and escort some clothes, goods and accessories, forming personal darts, food darts and material darts. To sum up the above three kinds, this is the six-dart system adopted by the escort agency: letter dart, ticket dart, silver dart, personal dart, grain dart and material dart. Related links: The Six Commandments of Bodyguards also have some rules and commandments among bodyguards. One of the most important points in the Six Commandments of Bodyguards is to stop opening new stores. Because the newly opened store is hard to fathom, bodyguards will not take risks at will, as long as the door says there is a well-opened store. Quit and change the boss's shop, change the boss's shop. People expect that there will be a thief shop and bodyguards will not live there. Ban prostitute shops. In some shops, prostitutes will be tricked into throwing darts, and bodyguards will not take risks. Don't leave your weapons with you. Whether you are walking on the road or staying in a hotel, you must carry weapons with you just in case. Don't leave people, whether it's a dart car by land, a dart boat by water, or a protected official, businessmen are not allowed to leave at will. Don't ignore doubts. As a guard, you must be alert to all directions. Once you are suspicious, you should pay close attention and prepare for the battle.
