I believe that many people have watched the TV series "Wang Baochang's New Biography", and they are deeply impressed by the protagonist of the TV series, wang Baochang, who has a beard, wears a black coat, has a face of numbness, and combs the middle point. Especially the older generation of people especially like to see, because the position of "Baochang" was real in the Republic of China period, and Wang Baochang also had a prototype in history, he was peng Tianlu, the baochang who was called "the first guarantee in the world".
Born in 1915, Peng Tianlu was originally a large landowner in the Pengjiaying Mountains, his family had thousands of acres of good land, Peng Tianlu's father also ran tobacco, rice and other businesses, not only that, but also gathered hundreds of people to organize local armed forces.
In 1941, Peng Tianlu's father mobilized local armed forces, cooperated with Qionglai County Governor Ren Heping to set up a security team, and went to the Pengjiaying Mountains to suppress bandits and won the victory. Therefore, the county magistrate appointed Peng Tianlu as the chief of the 8 guarantees in charge of Peng Jiaying.
So since it is all the credit of Peng Tianlu's father, why can Peng Tianlu be awarded the "First Guarantee in the World"?
Originally, at a meeting, Peng Tianlu improvised his position and donated all the 200,000 oceans worth of his opium sales to buy aircraft to resist Japan, and after Jiang learned of this, he awarded Peng Tianlu the title of "the first guarantee in the world", and later Peng Tianlu set up a banquet in Qionglai for three days to celebrate this honor.
Later, the investigation team composed of relevant departments of Qionglai City, after a number of verifications, confirmed that the story prototype of "Wang Mazi" in "Wang Baochang" was Peng Tianlu, the "world's first guarantee".
There is also a reason why Peng Tianlu celebrated three days and three nights so happily, because the post of "Baochang" was set up by Jiang, and it was naturally extremely happy to be praised by the founder as "the first in the world."
In June 1931, Jiang promulgated the "Regulations on the Compilation and Inspection of Baojia Hukou in the Counties of the Bandit District", which stipulated: "10 households are A, 10 Jia are Bao, and the joint guarantee is continuously seated."
This means that a chief security officer can manage ten A, and one A can manage ten households. In other words, the chief of security can manage 100 households.
It can be said that the "Baochang" is equivalent to an authentic earth emperor, as long as it is their "jurisdiction", no matter what is almost everything, they will grasp it. Not a few people have taken advantage of their positions to embezzle and accept bribes to make things difficult for the villagers.
Before the all-out War of Resistance, they relied on all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes to make money in it, and after the all-out War of Resistance, the main job of the baochang was to "grasp the strong ding", and if you did not want to go to the battlefield, naturally you would only have to pay money to the baochang
Almost like Wang Baochang in the movie "Catching Handing", he specializes in extorting money from landlords, and if there is no money, he arrests people to account for tasks.
Most of these chiefs are bullies, landlords, and inferior gentry who have already been the evil side, and they use the power in their hands to cause harm to the side, although they may not be greedy, but the nature is extremely bad, because most of them blackmail the people at the bottom.
Some scholars once commented: "Ordinary and just people are reluctant to serve as the chief of the security guard, and the unscrupulous people are more profitable to protect the chief and do everything possible to drill the camp." Originally, Bao Chang could better connect with the localities and unite the strength of the people. But because the bad guys are in charge, no matter how good the system is, it can't do good things. ”
Of course, the post of "chief bodyguard" has long been abolished. If you have to find a jurisdiction "level" relatively symmetrical, then almost a village chief, nowadays a village hundreds of households are not unusual, but the two in the size of the work power and the content of the work are essentially different.
