However, Feng Yuxiang quickly impressed his classmates and teachers, and it only took him one day to fully master Hanyu Pinyin; After three days, they learned the basic four arithmetic; Half a month later, he had memorized thousands of simplified words and was able to use various dictionaries and dictionaries proficiently, so he had the initial self-learning ability; A month later, Feng Yuxiang had mastered the one-dimensional quadratic equation and began to study plane geometry.

What's even more surprising is that at this time, Feng Yuxiang was already able to write "Li Ti" vernacular prose that conformed to the norms of official documents, although this was partly because Feng Yuxiang had not received much old-fashioned education before, and he was good at drawing on white paper, and this speed was still amazing

Li Hui was naturally pleasantly surprised when he learned about these situations, and at the same time realized that a genius like Feng Yuxiang could not be educated and cultivated according to the general model, so he specially allowed him not to join the class with other students in the preparatory class, but to provide him with all kinds of teaching materials he needed in advance for him to study on his own. Since then, Feng Yuxiang has been like a fish in water, and the speed of growth has become even more terrifying.

However, Feng Yuxiang's learning progress is so fast, not only because he has super learning ability, but also because he is really hard work, and people who have not seen it with their own eyes, I am afraid it is difficult to believe that a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child who should still be very playful can give up all entertainment and devote almost all his time except eating, drinking and Lazar to study.

Feng Yuxiang's hard work gave his classmates a great shock, many people ridiculed him for being a nerd and a stupid big man, but some people looked at him differently and sympathized with him.

"Xiao Feng, let's go out and play ball for a while! Studying at a desk all day is not good for your health! An "uncle" who looked to be in his thirties saw that Feng Yuxiang was still studying on his own on Sunday, and said to him with concern.

Feng Yuxiang didn't put down the pen in his hand, and didn't even raise his head, "It's okay, I usually don't walk if I can run, the amount of exercise is enough"

"Uncle" suddenly shrank his pupils after hearing this, he can be regarded as a serious learner, but compared with Feng Yuxiang's momentum, it is too far behind, and he can't help but ask this classmate who is young enough to be his son, "Xiao Feng, why are you so desperate?" ”

As a result, Feng Yuxiang's answer made him dumbfounded, only to see Feng Yuxiang casually replied, "I have to officially enroll in school as soon as possible so that I can get the subsidy." ”

However, after all, this uncle is different from those young students, he knows that it is impossible to have such a great motivation for simple greed for money, in order to avoid hurting Feng Yuxiang's self-esteem, he considered the words for a while, and then asked tentatively, "Xiao Feng, is there some difficulty in your family?" ”

Feng Yuxiang could hear the kindness in the uncle's words, so he didn't hide it from him, and truthfully introduced the current situation of his family, and the uncle suddenly showed admiration, and exclaimed, "Yuxiang, you are really a filial son!" ”

"Where can I be considered a filial son? When I was a child, when my family was so poor that I couldn't open the pot, I was still making a lot of noise because I couldn't eat enough! Perhaps because of the feeling of falling in love, Feng Yuxiang finally put down his pen and talked to his uncle, and then he soon found something a little embarrassing, "This, uncle, your surname?" ”

The uncle was not surprised, and replied with a smile, "Don't give your surname Duan, Duan Qirui, a native of Hefei, Anhui, Xiao Feng, you can call me Lao Duan." ”

After talking with Duan Qirui for a few words, Feng Yuxiang found that he was also a person with a story, not to mention anything else, according to some of the rules of the revolutionary army that Zhao Hu told him at the beginning, it was already a miracle that the old officers above the intermediate level (if you lead the soldiers, you must bring at least one battalion) can still have the opportunity to enter the revolutionary army after being captured (not an uprising). And his experience of studying abroad made Feng Yuxiang, who has always been a dirt bun, envious.

However, Duan Qirui said self-deprecatingly, "When I first came back from Germany, I always thought that I was the first person in domestic artillery studies, but after coming here, I realized that all I learned before was ****!" The understanding and use of artillery by the Datong Party has surpassed that of the German Army, which I have always considered to be the first in the world! ”

Zhao Hu also said something similar at the beginning. But when Duan Qirui, a returnee, said it, it was obviously more convincing, and an unprecedented sense of national pride suddenly filled the heart of the young Feng Yuxiang, and the fear of foreigners that he had cultivated in the Qing army before unconsciously dissipated a lot.

"But our strongest navy in China is still the navy, and even the world's first British Royal Navy has been defeated, which is really incredible! It's a pity that I'm old and have been in the army for so many years, so it's hard to turn a corner, otherwise I would definitely go to apply for the Naval University! After Duan Qirui sighed with emotion, he looked at Feng Yuxiang's young face, suddenly moved in his heart, and said to Feng Yuxiang, "Xiao Feng, you go to apply for the Navy University, you are so smart and studious, and your health is good, you also have a great future in the Navy." Moreover, the welfare of the Navy is much higher than that of our army, taking the students of the military academy as an example, our food can only be full, and the meat of the Navy University is openly supplied, and you can eat as much as you want, and there are free fruits and milk, and the subsidy is also several times that of our side. ”

Feng Yuxiang just smiled at first, and was thrilled when he heard the last few words, but he once again showed calmness and maturity far beyond his age, and did not make a decision immediately, but asked Duan Qirui a question, "How to enter the Naval University?" Do you want to take an exam? ”

"This, it is necessary to take an exam, and the Naval University is a university after all, there are no low-level courses, and you must master it before you enroll." , Duan Qirui also reacted immediately, and couldn't help laughing at himself, "Duan Qirui, Duan Qirui, you are all a person who stands up at an old age and drags your family with your mouth, and you don't have a child who can calm down, this is not good!" ”

After learning this, Feng Yuxiang decided to stay in the Army Non-commissioned Officer School for the time being, anyway, the courses in the preparatory and low-level classes can also be used in the navy, and then it is not too late to apply for the exam when he is ready for the entrance exam and can pass with confidence, anyway, no matter how talented he is, when he graduates from the Naval University, he will definitely have no battle to fight

Feng Yuxiang's thinking is undoubtedly quite rational, but at least for the time being, the war between China and Britain shows no sign of ending, and there is even a tendency to get bigger and bigger (to be continued). )
