The original intention of writing chivalrous golden dart

I grew up in Anshan, which is also the hometown of storytelling. When I was a child, I heard and witnessed storytelling, and even a few catchy jokes, among which chivalrous writing accounted for the majority. As for the golden dart, it is hidden weapons, the enemy used by most chivalrous people. So this book is named after the word "chivalrous golden dart". But it's more than that. Because the four protagonists in this book correspond to the words chivalrous, righteous, golden and dart one by one. How the fates of these four characters are intertwined, and how their joys and sorrows, love and hate are thrilling are all in this "chivalrous golden dart". Speaking of these four lines, it is quite a test for me, a fledgling writer. I hope I can handle them properly and write a novel worth reading and thinking about after reading.

This book is about chivalry, which took place during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The main content is to tell the story of many benevolent knights who relied on the emerging escort agency business at that time to hoe the strong and help the weak, punish the evil and promote the good.

Let's talk about chivalry first. Xia, everyone has a different opinion. The basic meaning given by the government is: the person or act of helping the bullied by oneself. Strength here can be understood as ability, because it doesn't just mean strong physique or high martial arts. Dan Tianfang's square bolt can only grow a small knife with a wave of his foot. His martial arts are sparse and ordinary, but he can also make outstanding achievements repeatedly. He relied on originality and courage. Chai Jin, a whirlwind of the Water Margin, is kind and helpful, and also a chivalrous man. He relies on money and morality. So I think what a chivalrous man is is that he can do his best to help those who need help. The knight-errant I admire most is Guo Jing (Guo Jing after marriage, of course) written by Mr. Jin Yong. When the imperial court was dark and there was no foreign aid, he just relied on his prestige and ability to command the soldiers and civilians of Xiangyang City and fought with the Mongolian army several times for 30 years (that is, in the novel 1243, the Mongolian army attacked Xiangyang, and Guo Jing and Huang Rong led the Wulin Volunteers to help repel the Mongolian army to Xiangyang City in 1273, and Guo Jing and Huang Rong were killed). Although he has the help of Huang Rong and others. I don't blame someone for judging Guo Jing's integrity. His life is the life of a hero. Great men help countries and people.

Ok, that's it, Xia. Let me talk about the escort agency. Escort agencies, previously called escort agencies, are also called standard agencies. This industry is an organization that relies on extraordinary martial arts to protect property or personal safety for others. From the middle and late Qianlong period to Jiaqing period. Escort agencies have gradually flourished. At that time, national capital had already transitioned from the embryonic stage to the growth stage. The social stability and the rapid development of scientific and technological productivity in the Qing dynasty 100 years have caused a sharp increase in the capital of enriching the people and enriching the people. The circulation of money and the transportation of property virtually accelerated the rapid development of escort agency business. At that time, not only the circulation of goods and property among the people needed escort by escort agencies, but also some dignitaries, whose large amount of property and their own safety needed protection by escort agencies. Some marquis princes even hired hundreds of bodyguards and paid them high salaries to protect themselves and their provocative property. In Dan Tianfang's Biography of Tonglin, Tonglin Tonghaichuan, a purple-faced Kunlun man in the town, was the bodyguard of four princes Yong Zhengdi Yin Zhen at that time. And this kind of escort who lives in the yard to protect his master is also a kind of escort agency, commonly known as "hospital protection". Those who transport property and personnel are called "running darts". Here's a story: three younger brothers don't know what to do for a living when they are full of art, and one of them wants to take the mountain as the king and divide the spoils. I thought it would be fun to get the money. But his other disciples objected after hearing this: "When you become a mountain king, you will rob your family and home and rob you of your connection.". If the two of us, one escorting Hong Kong businessmen and the other guarding the hospital, what would you do! " Because, after all, we are brothers and sisters, and we can't bear to hurt each other, we have agreed on some rules and jargon. They define darts as ring hanging, which is called "occupying the first line", nursing homes as inner hanging, which is called "occupying the tower", and greenwood is called "CSI" as friends. If we can say these cliches and move out of these rules when we meet in the future, we will be a family, so don't hurt our feelings with a knife! Although the stories may be fictional, their rules and jargon have been handed down from generation to generation and have been strictly observed. Speaking of which, I may ask: How can bandits be friends of bodyguards?

The answer is yes. Bodyguard guards and bandits should be regarded as friends, at least deformed friends, using a modern word called mutual benefit. Bodyguards are born because bandits and robbers are rampant, and bandits and robbers maintain a stable income because of the secret door of escort agencies. Anyway, they all come out to make a living, and the purpose is to make some stable money. No one wants to bury his head in his waist and work hard all day. The story of exchanging slang and sightseeing in novels or storytelling is to describe this deformed friendship. To put it bluntly, it is a word "benefit", which brings two supposed opposing identities together.

However, in the chaos of Jianghu, not every gang of bandits speaks Jianghu morality. If you meet a person who eats raw rice, it is that you don't call him CSI (friend). If I don't tell you "food" (a set of words on the road), you will raise your hand and hit him. If you stare at someone, you will have to show Qing Zi (a weapon) to fight him. Therefore, there are not a few people who lose their darts or even their lives without a solid martial arts foundation.

Therefore, a martial arts escort agency is the hardware foundation to support the escort agency. Most of the members of the escort group are learned from various martial arts schools, and some of them are even famous and authentic. Song Like Yanchao, the founder of Huiyou Escort Agency, whose unique skill is Huang San's gun and fist. Wang Zibin of Yuanshun Escort Company once took Li Fenggang as his teacher and practiced Liuhe Quan. It is said that not many people in Wang Zibin know about it. It is also known as "Wang Wu with a big sword" because it ranks fifth and has amazing swordsmanship. ).

However, it is not enough to just fight and kill. Because escort agencies are businesses and enterprises, the relationship with the government is also crucial. Here is a message: "Zhang Heiwu, a native of Shanxi. The sponsor of the escort. This man has a dark face, and his brother ranks fifth. Because of his martial arts, his reputation spread far and wide, and he was called "invincible" Zhang Heiwu. During the Qianlong period, Zhang Heiwu was a martial arts master of Emperor Qianlong. Under the persuasion of Emperor Qianlong, he established the first escort agency affirmed by the imperial court-Xinglong Escort Agency. " It can be seen that the earliest official escort was so "background". In that era of official standard, we didn't curry favor with the powerful and make friends with officials and gentry. The escort agency is closed today, and it will go to jail tomorrow. It is estimated that any profitable business will not last long. An escort group that can take everything from black to white, know people well when things go wrong, be safe when things go wrong, and be safe when things go wrong will prosper for a long time. Of course, this book also needs to involve some royal families and officials in the Qianlong period, and describe the Qing court that has been written on the street from another angle.

What was the business of the escort agency at that time? Some people can be roughly divided into four major items: running darts, protecting hospitals, sitting in shops, and protecting libraries. Escort means running, transporting, worshipping mountains and delivering goods, and the hospital is the town house to prevent thieves, as mentioned above. Sitting in the store is to maintain business and prevent outsiders from making trouble, extortion or making trouble, which is a bit like "watching the venue" now. Protecting Kuding is actually the current riot cash truck, but it is not to transport money, but to protect Kuding who is in charge of the national treasury. Why should we protect them? Hehe, leave a button for this first. It will be written in the novel.

Ok, that's all for the escort company. Let's talk about the relationship between Xia and the escort agency first. You have been watching the official for a long time, and you have been confused for a long time. Look at what you said. What is the relationship between Xia and the escort agency? Yes, they are all conditional. Only with the participation of chivalrous people can the escort agency continue to operate. In the long history of China, the story of escort agency has existed for 500 years, which is actually the glorious history of blood and tears of chivalrous men from generation to generation. Like the traditional book "Three Chivalrous Swords", it tells the story of three chivalrous swordsmen fighting swords (the god darts win the British war, Xiao Jie of the town's three mountains, and Meng Kai of the nine lions) and three swords (the ancient and modern sage Ai Lianchi, the female sword in red Mu Shaoqiu, and the big-headed swordsman Xiahou Shangyuan) helping heaven, promoting good and eliminating evil. And Shu Yong in the book: Sheng Ying Sheng Zichuan is a famous escort in the green forest. He is chivalrous, fearless, intelligent and risky, and does not help others for his own career. Therefore, his "South, North, Six Provinces and Thirteen Provinces General Escort Agency" can make progress every day and enjoy a high reputation in China. I also use this pattern in this novel, and the time is similar. Biography of the Three Heroes was written in the Kangxi period, and mine was written in the Qianlong period. This is old wine in a new bottle. However, this wine still smells good. In this literary age full of YY, I wonder how many people will buy this ancient martial arts novel.

Finally, reveal some highlights of this book. In addition to martial arts anecdotes, love stories, escort agency management, officialdom walking, fighting moves and hidden weapons, I also intend to focus on writing some "spring spots" and Jianghu slang. Just as "shoulder to shoulder" means friend, "spoon handle" means leader. And the green forest law they have been following. For example, what is a bright dart, why do you want to show it, what is a shouting dart, where you can shout, where you can't shout, and so on. Because I haven't really been engaged in this industry (the escort agency industry disappeared in the 1920s, when I didn't exist at all ...), there may be some new interpretations of old sayings taken out of context when I create them, which I hope the veterans who are proficient in this field will understand. Oh, after all, I can't afford to offend you next time.

There is also a gobbledygook called "Spring and Autumn of Escort Agency" promoted here. The book elaborates the history and operation of the Escort Agency, and gives a comprehensive introduction to the spring. It can be said that it is really difficult for me to write this novel by myself without the reference of this book and the academic details in Gu Mi's book. Thank you, no matter whether the next novel can be successful or not, I would like to thank you sincerely here first.

Well, I sincerely hope that this novel can be written smoothly and readers can enjoy it. It would be great if I could make some good friends with this novel. More communication, more progress, come on together!
