"Damn Yankees!"

When he left the Ding Mansion, as long as he thought of Ding Yunliang, Tang Haoran's heart would surge with anger, this damn guy, he didn't know anything about China at all, he didn't know what caused this qiē.

"Sooner or later, one day, I have to let you see what kind of surprise China will bring to the world when you go to bed first and then wake up!"

On the way home, Tang Haoran, who had a sense of anger hidden in his heart, still kept reminding himself, but when he said this, when he looked at the compatriots in cotton clothes on the street, he looked at the faces that seemed peaceful, but were actually numb, and his brows were tightly locked.

How can this country be changed?

This country can be changed by more than just factories!

Maybe it was because of the irritable mood, Tang Haoran bought some cooked food on the way, and even bought a roast duck and a jar of wine, wanting to borrow wine to kill his sorrows, maybe now only alcohol can comfort his soul, and then slowly walked in the direction of home in the crowd.

Home is located in Tan'er Hutong a typical Beijing courtyard, which is purchased after coming to the capital, this is also the first property purchased by Tang Haoran in this era, the price is not expensive 600 taels, when I get home, it has been past twelve o'clock at noon, and this will Tan Sitong is sitting in the yard basking in the sun, seeing Tang Haoran back, he greeted with a smile.

"How is it, Ziran, how are you talking to Lord Nadin?"

"Don't mention it, that guy, a typical foreign devil face, I really don't know if those people in the court were blind and chose such a guy to be the chief teacher."

If it is said that the previous understanding of Ding Yunliang was only limited to historical materials, and after the first contact, Tang Haoran now feels that the old man is even black in his intestines.

"Oh?"

Tan Si was stunned and asked in surprise.

"Then you're not going to quarrel with that guy, are you?"

Although Lord Nading is a foreign devil, if he comes up and has a conflict with Shangguan, it is always unwise.

"Noisy, I thought!"

Tang Haoran, who was holding back the fire in his heart, walked into the yard with roast duck and cooked food.

"I was in a panic, and on the way back, I saw the roast duck and cooked food, so I bought some! Resurrection, you accompany me to have two drinks! Tang Haoran invited him to visit Ding Yunliang, which made him really panicked, and he naturally wanted to drink two glasses and get drunk to relieve his sorrows.

Although the yard was "taken over" two days ago, in Tang Haoran's heart, it was a "home". The moment he stepped into the courtyard door, he felt a sense of security at home, especially after Yun'er came over, which made him feel like he was at home.

"Young Master, you're back!"

Yun'er took the young master's cooked food and wine jar, and then went into the house to put the cooked food wrapped on the paper on the plate, and then Tang Haoran went into the house and took off his long shirt and changed into a short cotton clothes, that is, the short cotton clothes dressed by this coolie, he could barely get used to it, but the fat and beltless cotton pants couldn't get used to it.

But now there is no choice but to make up. Wearing cotton pants with a deep crotch, like two face pockets on the body, tied with a cloth belt around the waist, and then casually wearing a pair of cotton shoes. Tang Haoran walked out of the floor, and Yun'er had already put cooked foods such as roast duck and pig's head meat on the table, while she herself was busy in the kitchen.

"Ziran, what did that Lord Ding say?"

After Tang Haoran sat down, Tan Sitong felt that Tang Haoran's mood might be related to visiting Ding Yunliang.

"Resurrection, you sit."

Tang Haoran picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl of wine for Tan Sitong. Then he saluted him sullenly, the spirits burned in the shochu shop in the 19th century tasted extremely hot, perhaps the well-known Erguotou in later generations was due to this, the spicy taste in the throat made Tang Haoran frown, and only after the wine was in his stomach did he speak.

"What else can you say, that Lord Ding,"

With a cold smile, Tang Haoran told his experience one by one. Compared with Tang Haoran's anger, Tan Sitong didn't seem to have any reaction, just silently drinking the stuffy wine.

"Resurrection, you say that this kind of person, isn't it completely the face of an imperialist power, at that time I really had the urge to pour tea on his face, this kind of person is still the chief teacher of the Tongwen Museum, and he has been the chief teacher for twenty-one years! I really don't know if the person who chose him in the first place was blind. ”

Sneering at the Manchu Qing's improper use of personnel, Tang Haoran took another sip, and then looked at Tan Sitong, who was silent, and asked.

"Resurrection, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about ......"

Raising his head to look at Tang Haoran, Tan Sitong asked with a smile.

"Could it be that when you were abroad, those foreigners all looked up to us?"

Tan Sitong's rhetorical question made Tang Haoran dumbfounded, look up? Is it possible?

His silence Tan Sitong looked at it, took a sip of wine, then glanced at the sky, and continued.

"How can these foreign devils despise our people for a day or two, even if they are like King Gong, they are not polite in front of foreigners, our Great Qing Kingdom, that is, Li Zhongtang, can hold up the field in front of foreigners, as for other people, they can't even speak well when they see foreigners, so how can outsiders afford to look up to Chinese people."

As he spoke, he was not polite, and took a big sip of the wine bowl.

"I'm not angry, what to talk about so that others can afford it!"

Tan Sitong's words made Tang Haoran dumbfounded, indeed, modern foreigners despise Chinese is not without reason, backward science and technology, ignorance of the people, and tyranny of the government, they have too many reasons to despise this country, and the reason why countless people with lofty ideals have tried to change this qiē one after another is not precisely because of the discrimination and contempt of foreigners?

For a nation, shame is also a kind of progress, at least now the contempt and discrimination of foreigners can make the people wake up from the dream of "the kingdom of heaven", in fact, that dream was not awakened until after the first afternoon, and it was not until after Gengzi that the dream was completely awakened.

In the next few hours, Tang Haoran and Tan Sitong talked a lot, not only for a while, but also about the current situation of Western countries, although Tang Haoran knew Tan Sitong's "anti-Qing" position in history, but he knew that now he was just a sign of it, and it was after the First Wu that he really turned to the anti-Qing Dynasty completely, and now he is in a spiritual struggle in a certain way.

And all he needs to do is to promote the growth of the young seedlings little by little, so that the seedlings will grow into a big tree. With this mentality in mind, when talking about Western countries, it is inevitable to talk about the national awakening of Western countries, from the awakening of the German nation to the "Young Italy" movement, to the successive uprisings of the Balkan peoples trying to get rid of Turkish slavery and establish an independent nation-state, in Tang Haoran's words, the revolution that swept the whole of Europe from 1848 has suddenly turned into a political movement for various nations to seek progress and strength, from national liberation to national reunification, and fresh words have been instilled into Tan Sitong one by one. The two also talked about the current situation in China.

Otherwise, the two sat in the courtyard and talked, from noon to evening, until the crescent moon came up, when the courtyard became cold, a jar of liquor had been drunk by the two of them, and in the whole conversation, Tan Sitong, who seemed to have understood and felt, was drunk, and in the end, he could only let the servants help him to return to the wing room to live.

After Tan Sitong returned to the house, Yun'er put away the dishes and chopsticks, but Tang Haoran sat in the courtyard, looking at the brilliant stars in the night sky, and began to plan his future life:

Tomorrow, I'm going to give a class at the Tongbunkan, what awaits me there?

Today is the 23rd day of the first month of the 16th year of Guangxu, and the Western calendar is February 12, 1890, if I am not mistaken, the Sino-Japanese War, which affected China's modern 100-year national fortunes, will begin four years later, that is, on July 25, 1894, with the Japanese army attacking and starting the Battle of Toshima.

Four years, only four years and five months!

God only gave me four years and five months, what can I do in these four years and five months? The reason why I came to the capital was not only to seek opportunities for external release, but also to get in touch with the Chinese political center of this era.

If he can be released, then he can do a lot of things, but, at the age of his twenties, could the Manchu court let him be the governor of a province?

Are you willing to stay in the Tongwen Museum and do a teaching?

Although he was unwilling, but when he thought of teaching and learning, and thought that he would be going to teach the students of Tongwenguan tomorrow, Tang Haoran thought that he had to prepare a lesson plan, and he had to write the lesson plan by himself to teach them the language? I'm just CET-6, so I'd better teach something new.

By the way, you can also write a few more articles and earn some manuscript fees, maybe you can help yourself become famous again!
