Wuchang Sanfo Pavilion Self-improvement School, since its opening, the self-improvement school has changed the old habit of "learning without specialization" in traditional Chinese academies, imitated the Western higher education model, and took the lead in implementing the system of teaching by subject (subject) and teaching according to the fast (class) in various schools in the country. Before opening up the atmosphere, it played a good role in demonstrating and leading the country in the whole country, and since then, many schools have "imitated the law of self-improvement schools" and carried out separate subject teaching. The great influence of the Self-improvement School in the society is probably something that Zhang Zhidong did not expect when he ran the Self-improvement School.

In the dormitory of the German Zhai of the Dialect Hall of the Three Buddha Pavilion Self-improvement School, Zheng Chengying was packing up with everyone on his back, and the students next to him looked at him, their eyes were full of regret.

Most of the students in the Self-Improvement School are young people around 20 years old, who are quick in thinking and more receptive to new ideas. So it's more susceptible to new ideas. A few months ago, he was hired as a teacher in the Mining School, and brought back a large number of books and magazines from the book, and it was from then that Zheng Chengying began to secretly read some various "[***]".

"We are all people who have lost our country!"

A few months ago, in the magazine "Qizhi", the proposition that "the future of the nation is determined by the compatriots of the nation" and that "the most important task of the present is to seek the liberation of the nation" only made the young Zheng Chengying's blood boil and lean his heart on the side of the "national liberators."

Because of this, Zheng Chengying gradually developed a rebellious mentality in his heart, and he felt more and more that the pig-tail-like braid dragged behind his head was like a sign of shame symbolizing slave status, and the braid kept whipping his heart like a whip.

Three days ago, Zheng Chengying and a few of his good classmates from fellow villager Li Depei were drinking in a tavern outside the school. The young and vigorous students, stimulated by alcohol, were impassioned, and when they mentioned the shame of the first one or two indemnities and the amount of China's material resources and the joy of friendship, everyone cried and cursed, and finally Zheng Chengying took the lead and cut off the braid.

Their actions only frightened the owner of the hotel, and he didn't dare to accept the money, so he sent them out of the door with begging and coaxing, and quickly closed the door tightly, and stopped doing business. The six of them walked on the streets of Wuchang, and several young students took advantage of the strength of the wine, but they danced and sang there, and Zheng Chengying, who was full of drunkenness, led the way and sang loudly.

"The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. Wide sleeves fluttering, where is it now. After several vicissitudes of life, several times of mourning. The clothes are insignificant, and they will eventually become a sound. I would like to return to the Han and Tang Dynasties and play the role of the palace merchant again. Wearing the clothes of my Han family, I am a state of etiquette. I would like to return to the Han and Tang Dynasties, and rise again in the Han Dynasty, why not be afraid of the road obstacles and dangers, look at my Huaxia Erlang ......" from the "Qizhi" magazine to learn the song, from their throats and eyes, drunk, painful they did not go back to school, but along the streets and alleys of Wuchang City sang this song "Back to the Han and Tang Dynasty", the song echoed in the streets of Wuchang City, the lyrics brought by the "Qizhi" magazine, the tune brought back by the students, was sung by them over and over again, the song not only shocked their hearts, but also shocked Wuchang.

Cutting braids and echoing in the city of Wuchang singing, not only in the school, but also in the society also caused a great repercussions, originally Huguang Governor Zhang Zhidong, just ready to give these students some punishment, but never thought that it alarmed Xi'an, the taboo in the song made the imperial court angry, far away in Xi'an Cixi ordered Zhang Zhidong, must be strict with those students who committed rebellion.

At this point, it is naturally impossible to calm down, thanks to the news that Cheng Songwan was promoted by the academy from the Governor's Palace, he first ordered the expulsion of these students, and then sent someone to inform the six of them to leave the school immediately, as long as they are not caught, there is always room for reversibility.

"Shuren, you ......"

Li Ziyang, a fellow housemate, saw that his friend had packed his bags, and he looked sorry for him.

"Brother Dachen, this self-improvement school, it is not interesting, I want to come to us after graduation, not for the Jianyu to work hard, I am a son of the Han family, wearing this Jianyu clothes for 19 years, it is a shame, if you work for Jianyu again, I am afraid that after death, I will be braided, and I will not face my ancestors, leave this place, the sea and the sky will let the birds fly ......"

The regret of his classmates was just a sigh in Zheng Chengying's eyes, in their eyes, he lost the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, but in his opinion, even if he was determined to stop working for the court of Jianyu, there was nothing, but there was a kind of relief and ease.

"Brother Dachen, cherish!"

Fang Jize didn't have any other different colors on his face, just a fist.

"Brothers, cherish!"

Returning the gift, Zheng Chengying left the dormitory with his bag, but at this time, Li Depei and the five were already standing in the dormitory courtyard with their luggage.

When they turned around and were about to leave the dormitory compound, there was a small but audible singing voice in the courtyard.

"The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. Wide sleeves fluttering, where is it now. After several vicissitudes of life, several times of mourning. The clothes are insignificant, and they will eventually become ......"

The singing behind him only made Zheng Chengying, Li Depei, Zhang Decan and other six people tremble, but they swore in their hearts.

"One day, we will definitely wear the clothes of the Han family again!"

When the group of six people walked out of the dormitory, they saw two people standing under the tree on the side of the road, in addition to their teacher Mr. Zhao Juexian, there was also a Li Tielan who taught them to sing "Back to the Han and Tang Dynasties".

Zheng Chengying, Li Depei, Zhang Decan, Zhao Zhuguo, Li Peicheng, Xuan Jiaoming, Liu Wei...... Looking at the six students in front of him who were privately called the "Six Gentlemen of Self-improvement" by their classmates, this is his good student!

"Shuren, you are leaving the school now, we teachers and students have a ,......"

I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in my heart, and Zhao Juexian took out a money from his pocket.

"There is no other way to send it off for the teacher, this ...... Please take it back! ”

When the six of them saw that the teacher was giving them money, they felt very embarrassed, and waved their hands again and again.

"Mr. Zhao, you have always taken good care of us, how can I ask you to ......."

"You are all students, you can have a few dollars in your pockets, the governor gave you a chance to escape, it will always be useful to leave some silver, this money is from the school by me and Teacher Li, if you want to thank us, leave it for the day when everyone re-wears the clothes of the Han family!"

The hope in the teacher's words only made the six of them nod their heads gratefully. Just when they were about to say something, they heard the shout of "officers and soldiers have entered the school", and the two hurriedly pulled the six people towards the side gate of the school, and when they ran to the side door, a carriage had already stopped outside the door, which was the carriage promoted by the school.

"Cheng Tiao, in order to not be able to protect you, I just feel ashamed and embarrassed, and I don't want to come to see you off, this carriage will send you to the dock!"

Seeing the surprise on the faces of the six people, Li Tielan, who had never said anything, explained, and then looked at the six people in front of him.

"You're out of school now, and I want to recommend you to a place, I don't know if you'd like to?"

The six of them glanced at each other, but Zheng Chengying replied first.

"Anyway, we are already people who have nothing to do, and the cost of studying abroad is not something we can afford, but it is arranged by the two gentlemen."

"We want to send you to Shanghai."

"Shanghai?"

"Yes, Shanghai, there is a school in Shanghai, but it is the first time, maybe it will accept you."

"School?"

Zheng Chengying and the six said in surprise that they still have money to pay tuition fees there.

"Yes, it's a school, I wrote you a letter of introduction, would you like to go?"

"Shuren, go and have a look! Perhaps, it is more suitable for you! ”

"That is, if the gentleman says so, then we will go to Shanghai."

After the six people got into the carriage, the coachman raised his whip and went to the direction of the wharf.

Looking at the carriage in the distance, Zhao Juexian and Li Tielan looked at each other and smiled.

"There are six more young generals in the nation, and there are six more gravediggers in Jianyu."

The last 200 meters is a river beach at the mouth of the river, and the students of the Huangpu Sports Academy make the final sprint. After reaching the finish line, some were lying down, some were squatting, some were holding their stomachs and panting, and most of their clothes were soaked with sweat.

Lin Yuqing, who was on his knees with his hands on his knees, gasping for breath, but being pressed by the heavy backpack and seemed to be unable to breathe, glanced at the classmates who were sitting on the ground panting.

"Students, stand up, let's ...... We've got to run back! ”

Zheng Chengying was the last to run up, and as soon as he rushed to the beach, he threw himself into Li Depei's arms, and when he gasped for breath, he forced the thing he wanted to vomit out and swallowed it back, and the sweat of the bean was dripping down his forehead.

Lin Yuqing glanced around, walked up to Zheng Chengying, who seemed to be in prostration, and nodded in praise.

"Zheng Chengying's spirit is commendable and worth learning."

didn't wait for Zheng Chengying to gasp and laugh, Lin Yuqing continued to speak.

"I think it's just that the bones of this body are a little weak...... At most, it's a little stronger than the girls, and it takes a lot of practice. ”

The students who ran all the way from the school to the river beach wanted to laugh but were too tired to laugh. A round erupted from the horizon.

Looking at the round of red words, Zheng Chengying's pale face did not show any embarrassment, his scholarly body naturally cannot be compared with these classmates who have been training for more than half a month, and the only thing that makes me feel unbearable is that Li Depei can actually hold on.

"Jiezhi, what do you think this Whampoa Sports School is for?"

Looking at those classmates who were also covered in sweat, but still had some energy, Zheng Chengying couldn't help but be curious about this school, in this school, [***] like "Qizhi" magazine can be read casually, and cutting braids is not only described as conniving, but also to the point of encouragement, "It's not so much a sports school as a military school!" ”

Zhu Depei glanced at Lin Yuqing, who was moving on the river beach in the distance, he was the squad leader of Class D, and also their squad leader, Huangpu Physical Education School is not big, there are only ten classes of A, B, C, D, pente, hep, and xin, and there are only 10 classes, 265 students, 256 students in one class, most of the teachers are Germans, and there are some Americans, who teach and learn the knowledge of national sports in the army, but the faint Zheng Chengying only feels that what this school teaches seems to be something that can only be used in war training.

"The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. Wide sleeves fluttering, where is it now. After several vicissitudes of life, several times of mourning. The clothes are insignificant, and they will eventually become ......"

And this will come from the river beach a burst of singing, for this song to make himself and five classmates and friends expelled, and even wanted by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chengying is very familiar with it, originally his face was sallow and full of prostration, he suddenly came to his senses when he heard this song, so he sang it in harmony, at least this school can't help this song.

“…… Why don't you be afraid of the road obstacles, look at my Huaxia Erlang......"

The song fell, and with a command, the twenty-seven students of Class D began to run in the direction of the school with all their strength.

Holding a raw cowhide whip in his hand, wearing a black school uniform of a physical education school, the discipline button at the vertical collar was buttoned to death, and the hideous scar on the neck of Guozheng under the black military hat added a bit of ruthlessness to that cold face, so that the students of Class D standing in front of him did not dare to breathe out of their breath at all.

The trainees practiced to overcome obstacles today, and on the training ground, the twenty-six students of Class D had completed the whole team, and Lu Guozheng, with a cold and resolute face, walked to the front of the team, and Lin Yuqing, as the squad leader, followed behind him.

Walking to the front of the cadet team, although he didn't have a straight face, the face that seemed to never smile was placed there without anger and majesty, with the hideous scar, which just made the students' hearts sooth. Suddenly, a deep cry came out of his throat.

"Subjects!"

The students stood upright.

Lin Yuqing, who was standing beside him, immediately replied aloud.

"The fifth exercise of basic training, the more obstacles. Please take a break. Objective: Exercise the body's ability to erupt, climb, leap, and balance, and improve the ability to adapt and adapt in an emergency. It is required to maintain a high level of concentration and follow the command in all actions. Ready to get started! ”

With his password, the trainees changed to cross the column to take a break, and then Lu Guozheng stood on the starting line.

"The coach will demonstrate first."

As soon as Lin Yuqing's voice fell, Lu Guozheng's body had already moved, and then in just over a minute, he completed a set of beautiful obstacles.

Running back to the queue quickly, Lin Yuqing had already returned to the team, and Lu Guozheng directly explained his movements.

"First run 100 meters, cross three steps of piles, jump over the low wall, higher and lower platforms, cross the single-plank bridge, drill low pile nets, wear barbed wire, turn over 4 meters high walls, drill bridge holes, and then higher and lower platforms, drill cat holes, jump craters, cross five steps of piles, and finally sprint 100 meters. The whole set of movements is limited to 2 minutes to complete, and it is necessary to be coherent, stretched, and have a sense of self-protection. Who was the first to do it? ”

The students on the field looked at the obstacles on the obstacle course, and they were somewhat timid.

As the squad leader, Lin Yuqing will naturally raise his hand.

"I'll come."

Ignoring the praise in Lu Guozheng's eyes, Lin Yuqing rushed to the obstacle field and completed a complete set of obstacles. Then the students followed one by one, and when it was Zheng Chengying's turn, it was smooth at first, but when he arrived at the single-plank bridge, he fell off the single-plank bridge in a panic after running a few steps and fell to the ground.

Lu Guozheng, who was carrying a whip with a fierce face, had been supervising with his eyes open. He walked up to Zheng Chengying, who fell into the sand pit, and saw that he was still in pain, so without saying a word, he lifted the leather boots with thirty-six brass nails under his feet and kicked him.

"Get up and keep practicing."

Letting out a miserable scream, Zheng Chengying, who was on fire in his heart, got up, his buttocks ached, and he couldn't help but refute it.

"Practice practice, why kick people!"

The student's rebuttal made Lu Guozheng's eyes narrow and shouted loudly.

"Don't talk during practice! Instructor orders must not be questioned! Violators will be punished with ten sticks! ”

Hearing this, Zheng Chengying's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it, he ...... What did he say!

And Lin Yuqing on the side was so anxious by this scene that he sweated, he and the young master had been to the island a few times, and the island didn't treat people as people at all, this road Guozheng really brought things from the island, the island is the island, and the school is the school!

As soon as his brain was hot, Lin Yuqing ran over and kicked Zheng Chengying's ass.

"What nonsense, keep training!"

Looking at Lin Yuqing, who was relieved of the siege for Zheng Chengying, Lu Guozheng's eyes were cold.

"Leaving the team without authorization, questioning the commander's order, and being punished with ten sticks twice!"

Lin Yuqing didn't hear clearly, or he didn't dare to believe his ears at all.

"Say what?"

"Someone! Execute! ”

No one moved! Another roar, this roar attracted several other instructors who were training other teams around, they were all temporarily transferred from the island, and now they have the opportunity to train "newcomers", they will naturally bring some suppressed grievances over, this will hear that they are going to be punished, but the cold face squeezed out a smile, and rushed over, several people fought one waist, and Ma Li turned Lin Yuqing and Zheng Chengying's frame up.

In the next second, the screams rang out on the training ground of the Whampoa School.

Half an hour later, Zheng Chengying and Lin Yuqing were brothers and sisters, supported each other, and left the health room with a grin.

"Lu Guozheng, the dog, I thought I could rest for two days this time!"

Eating the pain on his buttocks, Lin Yuqing scolded hatefully, that kid was embarrassed, the strength of his hand was just right, the pain was so painful that it made people remember it for a long time, but there were no internal and external injuries, in the words of the doctor in the clinic, it was not in the way of training.

"I'm going to find the principal, I'm going to sue Lu Guozheng for abusing me and other students! To ......"

Zheng Chengying had thought that he would suffer such a shame and be beaten in public.

"Stop dreaming!"

Lin Yuqing slapped the back of Zheng Chengying's shaved head with his hand, trying to get rid of his delusions.

"Don't you see what's written on our door?"

"Cultivate the righteousness of heaven and earth, and the law is perfect in ancient and modern times."

"That's positive!"

Lin Yuqing almost didn't want to take another picture of his skull.

"If you are promoted and make a fortune, please go another way; Greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter the door! ”

Although he has only been in this school for two weeks, he has left a deep impression on Zheng Chengying, and of course there are some mysteries, just like this couplet inside the school's doorpost.

"You're not afraid of death, you're afraid of a bird punishment!"

"......"

"But what, if you want to wear the Han family's clothes, you have to suffer here first and endure the suffering! Understood! ”

Seeing that he was about to walk to the training ground, Lin Yuqing glanced at Zheng Chengying mysteriously, and then endured the pain and staggered up and walked towards the training ground.

Hearing this, Zheng Chengying, who opened his mouth but didn't say anything, looked at the figure on the training ground, and instantly understood what place this was, the anger on his face faded, and only a burst of ecstasy and excitement swelled.

"This ass is just underwhelming!"

I scolded myself in my heart that this stupid head hadn't understood until now, but he ran towards the training ground in a hurry, for fear of missing any training.
