"The Rise of Great Powers" UK Chapter: Men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men.

---- Dividing Line------

The three people in front of him were all acquaintances. The first is that his student is also a collaborator of the Internal Affairs Investigation Department, a former college student at Peiyang University in Tianjin: Yan Zhuzhu. Yan Zhuzhu was the one who was almost insulted in Lieshan, and Hu Xiaoyan killed the villagers who did not deserve to die for her. Yan Zhuzhu was so moved to join the Internal Affairs Investigation Bureau, and also participated in the plan to save Nie Shicheng and bomb Nie Shicheng's headquarters, which killed British and French commanders. Her knowledge of science is advanced in this era, and she knows English and German.

The second is the daughter of an old man of Liang Qichao: Qin Yun. Her father heard that it was the same year as Liang Qichao, but he was unlucky and missed repeatedly. In the end, she died, leaving behind an orphan and widow, and her mother died shortly after. Qin Yun's situation was only known to Liang Qichao a few years later, and Mr. Liang sighed after inspecting Qin Yun's talent at that time: I hate not to be a man. Qin Yun's classical talent can be seen from this, and at the same time, Qin Yun also studied at Chengxin University in Shanghai, and now only knows English, but she is only 17 years old, very receptive, and currently studying mathematics.

The third place is Xia Lingling. The daughter of Xia Yan. Hu Xiaoyan would never admit that he didn't know until he knew that Xia Lingling was actually his daughter! Xia Lingling was originally a second-year student at Peiyang University in Tianjin, and she was proficient in English. At the same time, he is knowledgeable and has a good level of traditional Chinese medicine, so he is already able to prescribe prescriptions on his own. In addition, this little woman has learned martial arts from the gossip sect Cheng Tinghua, although she can't beat Liu Zhensheng in martial arts, but she is only between the best. If it weren't for the limited physical capacity of her daughter's family, Liu Zhensheng might not be her opponent. That's why the two special forces broke into the pharmacy by mistake, and they were knocked to the ground by her without any room for resistance.

These three are in their prime, and the eldest Yan Zhuzhu is only nineteen years old. And Xia Lingling is only sixteen years old.

Hu Xiaoyan immediately smiled bitterly when he saw these three people. I'm looking for a secretariat director, not a woman, although these three women are quite charming.

"You all stay. Qin Yun, you are ready to prepare, come with me to Beijing in the next few days. Yan Zhuzhu: You stayed in Shanghai to be in charge of telegram processing. Xia Lingling, you are responsible for protecting Madame and Yan Zhuzhu. Hu Xiaoyan understood Yan Fu and Liang Qichao's intentions in his heart. Without him, China's leaders must not marry a foreigner's wife. His subordinates absolutely cannot accept a foreign woman as a housewife. Sun Wen of later generations had many wives, one of whom was a Japanese woman. But Sun Wen abandoned her for the sake of her career. From this point, it can be seen that Sun Wen's character is actually not as good as Zheng Zhilong, a big pirate. Zheng Zhilong's wife is a Japanese woman, and this woman gave birth to a national hero Zheng Chenggong.

"Why do they have important things to do, and I can only be responsible for protecting them by force? You're discriminating! Xia Lingling made a fuss.

Hu Xiaoyan's head was big for a while. Fortunately, Yan Zhuzhu has been under him for a year and knows how to be humble and humble. Not to lose your temper yet. Of course, Yan Zhuzhu is not as quiet as she seems, thinking that when she was almost bullied, this little woman fought with that man. Otherwise, it would not have alarmed the security team. And Qin Yun is a typical example of a traditional Chinese woman, she just sits quietly and listens to the arrangement. He believed that if Hu Xiaoyan wanted to do something to her that men liked, Qin Yun would also accept it silently, and Liang Qichao must have told her something.

Only Xia Lingling, a tomboy who has studied martial arts and often goes to Cheng Tinghua to compete with his brothers and sisters, will be so big and small.

"Xia Lingling, you have to know that those telegrams are confidential. Yan Zhuzhu has no power to restrain the chicken, and once the telegram is stolen, the consequences are very serious. You have martial arts, leave it to you to protect, I can rest assured. Hu Xiaoyan sighed: "Only you can make me feel at ease when you do this." ”

Xia Lingling listened to it and looked suspicious: "Really? ”

Hu Xiaoyan nodded fiercely: "Of course!" Infinite transmitter is currently the only one I have in the country, do you say this thing is important? ”

"Okay, then I'll trust you for the time being." Xia Lingling hesitated and agreed.

Okay, get this little girl!

With the help of three little girls, after Hu Xiaoyan explained the location of the documents in the office, he went to the meeting with peace of mind.

Today's meeting was attended only by Yan Fu, Liang Qichao, Rong Hong, and Zhang Song.

The theme is the future development strategy of the Faculty of Letters. Liang Qichao had long been deeply dissatisfied with Hu Xiaoyan's contempt and even hostility to Confucianism. If it weren't for Yan Fu and Rong Hong's persuasion, he would have run away a long time ago.

"Everybody's coming. So let's talk about the future development strategy of the Faculty of Letters. Zhang Song, let me introduce you first. Hu Xiaoyan motioned to Zhang Songxian to say. At the beginning of the year, Zhang Song completed the translation of the Encyclopedia Britannica and some philosophical classics. Mainly Nietzsche, Montesquieu, Plato and Socrates are the main ones. After the translation of these philosophical books, three copies were handwritten, one in Hu Xiaoyan's study, and two in Shanghai Chengxin University.

"China has a 5,000-year-old civilization!" Zhang Song first glanced at Liang Qichao deeply.

"But civilization is not lip service, the advanced nature of culture is a kind of glory, but it is more of a pressure. This pressure has driven human civilization to continue to move forward. From Socrates to Nietzsche, Western philosophies have been tracking the question: Who am I? Where am I from? Where will I go? How do I face the world? ”

"Western philosophy has finally chosen 'use' as its main purpose. Everything that is useful to humanity is worth understanding and studying. They believe that it is only from this path that the secrets of humanity itself can be unlocked. ”

"And China is different. From a series of Confucian and Taoist classics such as "University", "Analects", "Zhongyong", "Tao Te Ching", "Nanhua Sutra", "Diamond Sutra", "Prajna Sutra" and so on, we can see that the Chinese take Taoism as the direction of study. But in fact, the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching is very clear: the Tao can be the Tao, and the Tao is not the constant Tao. The name can be named, and the name is not constant. Nameless, the beginning of all things; famous, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is no desire to see it; There is always desire, in order to see what it is. The two come out of the same place, and the same name is the same thing. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all eyes. I don't know its name, but the name of the strong name is called. ”

"Tao is actually a kind of mysterious thing, and although the exploration of human beings themselves is very meaningful, it is not really useful for the state. Does it let you know that one plus one equals two? No! Does it give you an idea of how artillery fires? No? Will it increase food production? Nor can't? ”

"Tao and use have always complemented each other, and in the Han and Tang dynasties, this was done very well. Many of China's inventions, which played a positive role in agriculture and industry, were invented during that period. For example, the plough used in agriculture was invented in the early Tang Dynasty. Waterwheels appeared in the Han Dynasty. ”

"Military and industrial aspects. The Qin Dynasty was the first country to achieve standardized production of weapons. Stirrups and swords of the Han Dynasty. The Huanshou knife and the Mo knife, which changed the history of horse warfare, appeared in the Tang Dynasty. And to the Song Dynasty. Our ancestors invented gunpowder, but after nearly 800 years of development, gunpowder still has not made any progress. The biggest role of gunpowder in China is actually to make fireworks. ”

"I don't know if you've noticed these problems. Why did China's scientific and technological strength after the Han and Tang dynasties not only not progress, but retreated? ”

Liang Qichao was about to speak, but was stopped by Yan Fu.

"Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are too involved in the study of the Tao is one aspect, but the most important thing is the change of philosophy. The Song Dynasty was the emperor and the scholars shared the world! The scholars had gained unprecedented rights, and they looked around. There are no enemies left in the country. Whether it's the Buddha or the Tao. Therefore, they arrogantly abandoned the spirit of continuous exploration in Confucianism and immersed themselves in the glory of the past. Firearms had been invented on a large scale in the Song Dynasty, but their power was limited, and scholars never thought of improving them for a hundred years. When the Mongols came in, the firearms were given to the Mongols. As a result, the Westerners improved the return cannon in this regard. Eventually, the Song Dynasty fell. Confucianism should be the first credit! ”

"Ridiculous! Nonsense! Liang Qichao took the case.

"Look at the history books!" Zhang Song was not the slightest afraid.

"Mr. Liang, please be seated. Please listen to Zhang Song's speech before debating. Hu Xiaoyan tapped his right index finger on the table.

Liang Qichao was angrily seated down by Yan Fula when he heard this.

"Confucianism does not want to make progress, not for one year or two. The dispute between Tao and Yong is not a year or two. The first arquebus was invented in the Song Dynasty. But it's a pity that the originally promising scholar was considered a plaything, and he didn't get anyone to recognize his achievements until his death. ”

"The Five Thunder God Machines of the Ming Dynasty were only used once or twice when Zhu Di attacked Mongolia, and then they were locked in the arsenal."

"Tricks! Playthings are demoralized! ”

This was the perception of these greatest inventions in military science and technology at the time. I wonder how these two inventions would have been treated if they had been placed in the Han and Tang dynasties. Mr. Liang, can you tell me? ”

"What is the Tao? What is used? Take the Tao as the foundation, and use as the table. The two should not be completely separated, but complement each other. The way of civil and military affairs is relaxed one by one. The ancients have long told us how to look at these two things. ”

"Today's China is facing great changes unseen in 3,000 years, and if Confucianism does not want to forge ahead, the future can only be destroyed. The Faculty of Arts at Shanghai Chengxin University should follow this philosophy as well! ”

After Zhang Song finished speaking, he bowed and sat down and closed his eyes.

"Mr. Rong, what do you think?"
