Li Jinglin was drinking tea after finishing a set of boxing techniques, and walked quickly with Yang Kuishan to report: "Master Li, someone sent a prayer post, and these newspapers were attached. ”

"Huh?"

Li Jinglin had never seen a greeting post and a newspaper, so he suddenly became interested and said with a smile: "Bring it to me to see." ”

Yang Kuishan immediately presented it with both hands, he was not only Li Jinglin's cronies, but also Li Jinglin's disciple and the only heir of the Wudang Taiji Sword.

Li Jinglin opened the post, and there was nothing written in it, only an inexplicable inscription - the younger Zhou Hexuan worshipped!

What's that?

Li Jinglin went to the newspapers again, and saw that all the newspapers were not complete, but each one contained an article called "The Rise of a Great Power", and the author was Zhou Hexuan.

Anyway, he was idle after going into the wilderness, so Li Jinglin simply read it from the beginning. I read the Portuguese chapter all the way to the French chapter, and ran in with him to call him for dinner, and Li Jinglin was shocked to realize that it was already noon, and he had watched it for a long time without realizing it.

"What a good article!" Li Jinglin praised the case and said to his relatives, "Bring me the food, I will use Hongwen to eat today." ”

The revolution in France has been raging for nearly a hundred years, and the First French Republic, the First French Empire, the Bourbon Restoration, the July Dynasty, the French Second Republic, the Second French Empire, and the French Third Republic have really gone back and forth.

Li Jinglin had only known that there had been many revolutions in France before, but it was the first time he had understood it so thoroughly. In his view, the revolutions in France are like child's play, but when he thinks of today's China, he finds that Du Nyima is similar.

Could it be that China will have to make a revolution for a hundred years before it can be truly reunified?

Li Jinglin didn't even want to eat, and continued to read the German chapter later, which made him even more surprised.

It turns out that Germany was still in a state of division 100 years ago, there were more than 300 large and small states at the same time, using more than 6,000 different kinds of currencies, and the country had to go through 10 states for a few hours, go through 10 procedures, exchange currencies 10 times, pay 10 customs duties, and the total tariffs even exceeded the value of goods.

When Napoleon invaded Germany, Prussia was forced to cede half of the country, pay 150 million francs in war reparations, and even the statue of the goddess of peace, which represents the national spirit, was dismantled by Napoleon and shipped back to France.

But such a country has been miraculously unified, and it has become one of the world's great powers. It has even surpassed Britain across the board to become the world's second economic power after the United States!

"Mighty Germany!" Li Jinglin couldn't let go of the volume, and he was so enthusiastic that he couldn't wait to become the iron-blooded prime minister Bismarck.

……

"Mighty Germany!"

In Shandong under the rule of dogmeat general Zhang Zongchang, Liang Yiming, director of the provincial No. 6 middle and high school, clapped his hands and shouted.

Liang Qiming was born into a scholarly family, and at first believed in the reformist ideas of Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, and later participated in the League, and then became enthusiastic about socialism, writing books and advocating the abolition of private ownership. His heart was very soft, and he couldn't see the suffering of the world, so he devoted himself to the study of Buddhism, and was rescued from committing suicide several times. He only had a diploma from high school, but he was invited by Cai Yuanpei to become a professor at Peking University, where he taught Indian philosophy.

In the past two years, he founded the Shandong Rural Construction Research Institute, dedicated to the study of China's rural areas, believing that the development and construction of rural areas can save China, and has published works such as "Rural Construction Idea" and "Rural Construction Theory".

Heze couldn't buy the "Beijing-Tianjin Times", and Liang Yiming read "The Rise of a Great Power" by chance, and immediately wrote to ask a friend in Tianjin to send him a regular newspaper, and now he happened to be studying and reading the German chapter.

What Li Jinglin sees from the article is iron-blooded unity, while what Liang Yiming sees is education to save the country.

At the time of Napoleon's invasion, King Wilhelm III of Prussia said: "The country must compensate for the physical loss by the strength of the spirit." It is precisely because of poverty that education is necessary. I have never heard of a country running education and running poor and ruined! ”

While Prussia was still paying huge war reparations to Napoleon, the Humboldt University of Berlin was born. The king gave the last bit of his family and donated the luxurious royal palace to make a large house, and he also proposed that the state must provide material support for teaching and scientific activities, but should not interfere with educational and academic activities.

From then on, education in Prussia became a compulsory obligation for citizens, as was military service. Students are registered for absenteeism every month, and a fine of 3 silver coins for skipping class for one day is heavier than taxes. Free education in Germany began in the mid-19th century, and until the time of German reunification, the enrolment rate of school-age children reached 97.5 per cent.

That was more than 50 years ago, and what is the literacy rate in China today?

Liang Qianming could not help but sigh and deeply agree with the words of Marshal Moltke in the article: "The victory of Prussia was decided as early as the podium of the elementary school teacher. ”

Education must be run in order to save the country!

Liang Yiming, who has experienced the influence of reformism, liberal democracy, socialism, and Buddhism, finally found the way to save the country from the article "The Rise of Great Powers".

In addition to being excited, Liang Yiming spread out the letter paper and wrote a letter to Cai Yuanpei, who had only returned to China at the beginning of the year, explaining his concept of education to save the country, and highly recommended the series of articles on "The Rise of a Great Power", calling it "a grand essay for helping the world and saving the people". He also hoped that Cai Yuanpei would take the lead in rebuilding the China Education Association, and raise funds like warlords and wealthy businessmen in various places to promote universal primary school basic education throughout the country. He believes that when a large number of children with basic education grow up, it will be the day when China will become rich and strong.

……

Meng Xiaodong, who is far away in the New Tianjin Newspaper Office, is more interested in the French Revolution, passion, romance, freedom, everything is legendary, which can be called an epic on earth.

If you take a few of these stories and make them into a big show, it will definitely be very popular.

Meng Xiaodong sat in front of the window, his jade hand holding his cheek in a daze, and his thoughts had drifted to somewhere.

That Mr. Zhou is really strange, he obviously has earth-shattering talent, but he is willing to be a small lieutenant under the warlord. And he is also very scheming, as can be seen from his rescue and subjugation of the Sun brothers, he is not a pedantic person who can only talk about empty words.

I persuaded him to go to the South, but he asked me to watch "The Rise of a Great Power".

Meng Xiaodong put away the newspaper, his mind full of doubts and curiosity. She is going to read the follow-up articles before she speaks, perhaps in the Japanese, American, and Russian chapters that have not yet been published, there are hidden real thoughts of him.

……

At the beginning of June, Ye Ting's independent regiment conquered Youxian County, Hunan, and started the first battle of the Northern Expedition.

At the same time, after a period of fermentation, Zhou Hexuan's "The Rise of a Great Power" has gradually spread, and even in the southwest and northwest regions, there are already people reading this masterpiece.

This is the collective learning content organized by the Political Bureau of the Central Committee in 2003, and CCTV launched the "Rise of a Great Power" series of documentaries based on this in Beijing. It will be extremely valuable in a few decades, let alone the confused and confused Republic of China.

Li Jinglin, Liang Qiming, and Meng Xiaodong, they are warlords, scholars, and actors, and they have seen different things through their articles. And more readers in China have also begun to seriously think about how China can find its own path to the rise of a great power after reading "The Rise of Great Powers".

Even many foreigners, after the completion of the serialization of the articles in England, France and Germany, have paid more and more attention to this series of articles. The British and French consuls general in Tianjin also specially sorted out the newspapers and sent them back for reference and research by European scholars.

I'm going to talk about Japan soon, and it is estimated that even Japanese spies will have to keep an eye on Zhou Hexuan at that time.

It's time to become famous!
