Chapter 230 Guns and Pens

"The restoration of the nation, a hundred wastes are waiting to be rejuvenated, education and industry is more important"

Although it is only an ordinary test question, this question is for the whole nation. At first, this question was only the test question of Nanjing National Higher Normal University, but in the end, the question finally turned from the examination room to the society, causing a lot of debate in the post-reconvenation society, and the root of this debate is actually by persistence. The competition between the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce for funds led to the end of the debate between the "main brain of education" and "the body of the real owner".

If the biggest effect of the debate is, I'm afraid that the Chinese people begin to face modern education. "The result of the Franco-Prussian War has been decided in front of the podium." "The defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War has been doomed since the beginning of the major education!" A powerful country in education may get the recognition of the Chinese people from the debate.

The same normal school is free of tuition fees and accommodation fees. After graduation, you can serve as a teacher's enrollment advertisement. The teacher's salary is guaranteed by the county, provincial and central levels, which also makes many people believe that this may be a good profession to make a living, not to mention that "teachers are respected". It is not disgraceful to be a teacher.

Although some people still dream of reopening the imperial examination in the new dynasties, for the vast majority of people, from the restoration to the present, the first "civil servant" recruitment examination, and the use of civil servants to lure them to read the "arithmetic, physics, chemistry, history, geography, flora and fauna and foreign language" written in the twisting and turns. Chinese language." The reality, although the dream of the imperial examination did not wake up into a sorghum in an instant. But it also completely exhortizes most people's dream of "to the land for the land and to go to the emperor's hall in the evening".

Although some scholars and doctors did not die the lucky heart of reading the "Four Books and Five Classics" and fishing for "clothing", the reality is always cruel. The compilation of the Ministry of Education in the newspapers, the recruitment of civil servants, and the reality of "not giving up" makes the children who think they have been abandoned by the country a little soulless, but with Correspondingly, the country has given these people a way. Teachers, for the vast majority of poor scholars, have become their last livelihood.

Although some elites of scholars and doctors who were alternate officials in the previous dynasty are still waiting for the kindness of the new dynasty. In the face of the new learning that the new dynasty attaches importance to, they also have to learn new learning, while more poor scholars do not have their leisure. In order to make a living, they have devoted themselves to the teachers founded by various counties and prefectures. In the accelerated school, some people also apply for the half-year preparatory course run by the provincial capital, and the five-year higher normal college.

National Nanjing Normal University, under the Zijin Mountain outside Nanjing, leads the National Nanjing University of Technology and turns its back to the lush Zijin Mountain. The surrounding natural environment is extremely beautiful. From the vicinity of the school, you can see the roar of the trains galloping on the Ma'anshan to Nanjing Railway, the smoke and dust flying all over the sky, the endless "ckap" sound, and the long steam lingering around the nose, which seems to bring the breath of the times. It's just that the railway extending from Ma'anshan has become a cut-off road at Guanghuamen Station.

National Nanjing Normal University is the earliest university in Nanjing to enroll students and put into use. Its scale, teacher strength and equipment are given priority. Even the ruling axe also put forward the requirement of "the best talents to go to Normal University", which shows that the ruling axe is the "base of mass learning" of normal education, the national education construction Pay fundamental attention to it.

Like any university sponsored by the Ministry of Education, the education policy stipulated in the school seal of National Nanjing Normal University is "in addition to the purpose of education set by the Ministry, the latest folk principles are specially adopted", that is, "moral practice", "physical activity", "social life", and "all kinds of professors should mention Advocating automatism emphasizes the comprehensive cultivation of personality and knowledge. The school has hired a group of teachers with profound knowledge, ideological progress and high moral character from the society for teaching.

Although the main teaching building has not been completed, it is only in August of the Western calendar, and the Normal University has begun. Nearly 4,000 students from various provinces will stay and study in the temporary wooden board room, where they will start their study career in the next five and a half years. Among these students, 17 or 18 years old will receive new education. There are also teenagers who are in their thirties. Although the school building is simple, the university teaching building and dormitory building under construction make these students feel a little novel.

At this time, these students of different ages are wearing black student uniforms and standing on the field in teams. They will conduct a month of military training before the start of school, which is a part of the education regulations formulated by the Ministry of Education.

"...Don't think that military training is nothing more than a group of people standing in line on the field facing the sun for half an hour,"

The military instructor with a rifle shouted in front of the students.

"After you leave the school, you will bear the responsibility of educating people and children. The responsibility is far greater than any other academics. Education is a strong country, education is a strong country, and education can also harm the country!"

The tone of military instructors who are even more than a dozen or even 20 years younger than many of them are very serious.

"Now, can any of you tell me why the Ministry of Education has formulated China's education to focus on military and national education!"

Looking around at the cadet in front of him, the military instructor walked to a cadet and stared into his eyes.

"You answer!"

"Report to the instructor, China is under the pressure of neighbors and is urgently in self-defense, and it is difficult to recover the national power lost over the years without force. The intention is to keep the people strong, and it can't be done without military and national education!"

With his chin raised slightly, Liang Zhizhi answered the instructor's question loudly. He knew that he must answer the instructor's question with the loudest voice, otherwise he would be reprimanded.

"Very good! Come back!"

"Report to the instructor, the military national education is to develop the spirit of national martial arts and remove the inevitability of the two hundred and sixty years of slavery in the Manchu Qing Dynasty!"

"You answer!"

"The history of mankind is the history of race competition and elimination. The competition for survival and the survival of the fittest runs through the history of mankind. Our nation has been invaded by the Taixi ethnic groups. If we don't rise up for national education, we will restore our nation's spirit of martial arts for thousands of years, and restore the spirit of the people of our nation. He said that our country will fall into the realm of extinction, such as India and South. Yang is eliminated by history!"

... The students answered, and the instructor nodded. Military and national education is the outline of the policy formulated by the Ministry of Education. We will definitely use the military to protect the survival of the nation. It is also because of this that the crisis of the nation and social responsibility have prompted the Ministry of Education to formulate military national education as the foundation of Chinese education, with the intention of rebuilding the spirit of national martial arts and the spirit of scholars with military national education.

"What is the spirit of a scholar!"

"The conditions of a scholar's spiritual belief can be obtained in dozens of terms. First of all, the reputation of the country is always important, and those who damage the reputation of the country can't stand it. First, those who say that the state's negotiations are detrimental to the rights of the state are not afraid of the strong. Those who kill their bodies and benefit the country will die without fear. First, if you are slandered by others, you can't stand it, but you don't want to judge yourself for short-sightedness, refuse to take revenge, and die in state affairs to restore the reputation of a warrior. First of all, I am always loyal and obedient to the respected. Although his behavior is detrimental to the country's plans or reputation, although he is respected, he often refuses to borrow it. After the matter was settled, he refused to forgive himself for his crime, and often died. First, if you are guilty, you will not escape the sentence. If you live in a position, you must be loyal to your duties, and often sacrifice your body and even all your loved ones to die in the line of duty. First of all, friends who are in a hurry and difficult to trust often sacrifice their lives and all their interests to save them. First, although the urgency of others is not with me, and there is no desire for me. However, those who think that the great righteousness is and the overall situation is at their control, they are also determined to do it, and the success is not their own merit. One is to work with others, and one death can keep secrets. Those who help the establishment of the matter will die without stinge and fear. First of all, death does not tire others. One is to die in the name of sincerity and benevolence. First, if you lose the war, you'd rather die than a prisoner... In other way, the country is more important than life, friends are more important than life, duty is more important than life, kindness and hatred are more important than life, reputation is more important than life, and morality is more important than life, which is the highest and pure ideal in the minds of my ancestors..."

The "spirit of the scholar" of the students who answered the officer's questions there hit everyone's hearts like a drumstick. Even these scholars, who have no power and no use, have an indescribable excitement at this time. They only feel angry all over their bodies. It seems to see the scene of the human countries of the pre-Qin Dynasty. If everyone is like this, the country will be strong.

This is the belief of the scholar of "Chinese people" in Liang Qichao's new book. This is stimulated by his contempt for China's "history of China, the history of non-martial arts; the Chinese nation, the nation of non-martial arts" in the West and Japan. With indignation, he wrote a book a month ago, and then was funded by the ruling axe for business publishing. The text of more than 5,000 words is both reflection and shouting.

The disappearance of the martial arts spirit and martial arts virtue is the biggest pain in China since the Qin and Han Dynasties. Liang Qichao selected more than 70 figures with the spirit of Chinese scholars in the book to represent the people. They are basically concentrated in all classes in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period competed for hegemony separately. One said that they did not have a position spontaneously, and the other said that there was The possibility of annexation of other countries; so in such a historical environment, from the temple to the people, there is a spirit of "martial arts" and a respectable "martial virtue".

The original title of the book was "Chinese Samurai Tao", but after Chen Moran read it, he changed his name to "Chinese Man". In other words, the Japanese samurai Tao itself was plagiarized from China, and the "loyalty, faith, shame, integrity, integrity, perseverance, simplicity, courage, etiquette, honesty, etiquette" believed by the samurai Tao. First, it is not an ancient Chinese tradition, but now the only thing China needs to do is to focus on the spirit ofyang shi.

"For hundreds of years, the lack of the spirit of scholars has inevitably lead to the result. First, those who know dare not moan, and those who do not know do not know the pain; second, those who know the danger of the country can still praise peace; knowing the [***] of officials can still flatter civilization; knowing the innocence of people can be falsely accused of being punished... Only those who have both literature and martial arts. Talents have a frank and bright personality, and a society with both literature and martial arts is a frank and bright society. The emphasis on literature and morality makes the humanities weak, soft and insidious, only knowing the use of scheming, fraud, and losing the open and aboveboard demeanor. The despicable darkness of all aspects of China's society in the past two thousand years is the product of the abnormal development of literature and morality.

As a ruling axe, Chen Moran not only contributed to the printing of this book, which was distributed to officials and the army, and even specially designated it into the tutorial. "Promote the spirit of scholars with education!" Naturally, as China's highest normal school, Nanjing National Normal University naturally needs To learn the spirit of scholars, they will eventually teach students and change the accumulated diseases of this nation for thousands of years with martial arts and martial arts, which is exactly what Chen Moran hoped for.

Just like this, nearly 4,000 students of Nanjing National Normal University, after the start of school, they first carry out half a year of preparatory study. In addition to modern numbers, chemology, geography and history, the most important lesson they have learned is military training, turning them into soldiers first, and then teachers.

When a country is in danger of life and death, no one will consider the disadvantages of doing so. What will happen in the future? What is more important than the survival of the nation? If there is no country or nation, then is there any capital to talk about other things? The top-down consistent surname has led to the post-retroducing Chinese education to embark on a completely different education path from other countries from the beginning.

Looking at the students who were conducting military training on the field, Zhang Baixi frowned slowly. Although the capital was broken and did not surrender, Nanjing pardoned him, just because he had made a certain contribution to education, and even the Ministry of Education of Nanjing gave him a letter of appointment to teach Sinology in Nanjing. In front of Sinology, he himself was also A student.

In the past, people often said that "it is a virtue to repay grievances with virtue", but now it emphasizes that "it is a virtue to repay grievances with virtue. Repay grievances directly, and repay virtue with virtue." Although the current education is based on Sinology and Confucianism, it is the god of martial arts in the pre-Qin Dynasty. It pays attention to the spirit of "sushi". You can abandon life and do the things of death. It pays attention to the creeds of "a scholar dies for a confidant" and "a scholar can be killed but not humiliated". It also advocates the use of "loyalty" and "faith" as personal norms.

"The three armies can win the commander, but the man can't win the ambition!"

Thinking about the class he was going to take, Zhang Baixi shook his head helplessly. In any case, the dross Chinese studies class is always to be taught. In the classroom, he must talk about the "spirit of scholars" and rebuild the "everyone is a scholar" nation that he hopes to govern through education.

"The idea is good, but..."

He sighed softly in his heart, but Zhang Baixi's feet were walking towards the humble classroom, and behind him, there were bursts of roars.

"What is this?"

The trained instructor raised the rifle in his hand with his left hand.

"Rifle!"

"What is this?"

"Pen!"

The roar echoed on the field. The students stared at the gun and pen in the instructor's hand. They knew what it meant. Unlike ordinary universities, the uniform hat badge of the normal school was exactly the intersection of the gun and the pen.

"What is the combination of the two?"

"The foundation of the country and the foundation of a strong country!"

Listening to the shouts of the students, the instructor nodded with satisfaction. Iron blood is the foundation of the country, and education is the foundation of a strong country. The two complement each other and are indispensable!

"Albert? Einstein!" .

In the professor's file in his hand, Chen Moran's face had an incredible look, and he even shook his head from time to time. Einstein was in China! And he is a lecturer at Dongxu University.

There is a discovery that is more shocking than this one.

Seeing the look of the rule, Cai Yuanpei's heart was a little beat. He was responsible for the nearly 500 foreign professors and lecturers recruited by Dongxu University.

"When we are in power, when we recruit professors abroad, although we offer a high salary, there are only a few real well-known professors and scholars who are willing to come to China. These people have been carefully selected. Many of them are in Europe and the United States. They may not be qualified as professors, but for us..."

's words are somewhat helpless. "Compared with first-class institutions of higher learning in Europe and the United States, first-class professors often do not accept the appointment letter of Dongxu University, which makes Dongxu have to put the bottom requirements. Although the bottom requirements, most of the current professors and lecturers of Dongxu have real materials and science, and the vast majority of them are Recommended by famous teachers, we have signed contracts with them ranging from five years to ten years.

"Heqing, I know what you said! Don't worry. How can Phoenix attract Phoenix without a phoenix nest? It's not easy for Dongxu University to hire these professors and lecturers. Our country has everything that sounds good, and there is nothing if it sounds bad!"

Lighting a cigarette, Chen Moran was silent for a while.

"But it's not bad to have nothing. A piece of white paper is easy to draw! These professors and lecturers may not be valued abroad, but here we can give them enough space and support to engage in teaching and research. Didn't you tell me that running a university should adhere to the principle of freedom of thought and inclusiveness? The same is true for students, professors and lecturers. Who can say that under the right conditions, the professors we attract will not have a few people who will affect the world's universities?

In front of Cai Yuanpei, Chen Moran certainly won't say this Albert? Einstein will be the most famous scientist in the 20th century. His research will change the whole world. After all, he is just a young man in his twenties now, and he is not even qualified to be a university lecturer at all. But what about the future? As long as there is enough space for him here.

"Twenty years, I have said that the key to China's prosperity in the next 20 years, and in these 20 years, education is the top priority to achieve this goal. Now Dongxu has no reputation, but who knows after 20 years?"

While talking, Chen Moran tapped Einstein's file on the table with his finger, and then looked up at Cai Yuanpei.

"Perhaps in 20 years, this person will become a scientist admired by the whole world. The same Dongxu may also become the most famous science and engineering institution in the world, and this is what we need to do. We need to change the country with 20 years of education. In a year, I can train a million strong troops, but for this country For a family, it takes 20 years to cultivate a generation,"

Chen Moran's tone suddenly became serious, and his expression was extremely serious.

"Heqing, the responsibility on your shoulders is far greater than mine!"
