Chapter 5 The History of Cornering
Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, the appearance of the classroom is much the same,
Desks, lecterns. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The dark gray stone room already had a blackboard, and the tables and chairs were all wooden, a kind of wood that the yellow clothes did not recognize, heavy and hard, smooth in some places, and the precipitation of time had a slight cold smell, as if it were a wizard's magic classroom.
Huang Shang sat down in the last row, spread out the pure English mathematics textbook, and flipped through it at will, such as conic curves such as ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas, number theory, permutations and combinations, general statistics, trigonometric functions, and multivariate equations...... It is basically the category of high school in the previous life, and some super-outlined content in the back, such as matrices, Fourier transforms, preliminary study of calculus, etc., are very familiar to Huang Shang.
These are nothing, Huang Sheng looked at it, and suddenly found that he actually knew every word in the book, just like he had seen the mother tongue since he was a child!
"What the hell are these? There are some words that I haven't learned, so why can I recognize them? Could it be ......?"
Huang Shang's thoughts turned, and he quickly ruled out his own reasons, found the only possibility, and died.
"When I appeared yesterday, I spoke a language that I had never heard before, but I could understand it, could it be that this is the reason? But I didn't feel that way when I looked at the class schedule yesterday...... Hmm, is it because of the apocalypse soup last night that made Xiao Xiao recover a little? It's almost 'linguistic', I don't know if there is a library here, find a few books in French, German, and Latin...... Listening, speaking, reading and writing, is it all possible? ”
Huang Shang picked up the pen and tried to write an English "partial differential equation", but he was stuck, and the corresponding words did not appear in his head, and then tried "variational method", "Huabiao", "pipa", "Wuhe Youxiang", "Xiangdi", none of them succeeded, and tried to say it again, but also failed.
"Is it not possible to speak and write actively, but only to listen and read passively? It's amazing too......"
Just thinking about it, I suddenly noticed a person coming over, and when I turned my head, it was a somewhat thin white boy, with brilliant blonde hair, a pair of clear blue eyes with some curiosity, white skin like cow's milk, and not as rough as ordinary Westerners, and his face was very ...... Beautiful, beautiful enough to embarrass most women in the world, she smiled and said, "You are the Gu of the East, right?" I'm Vessy. ”
Although this young man's chest is very flat, he is really beautiful and a little too much, Huang Sheng is not sure about his gender, closes the textbook, thinks of Gu Xi, and also smiles and says, "Weixi, hello." ”
Wei Xi sat down next to him and said in a cheerful tone: "Gu is very powerful, yesterday Instructor Sloan corrected almost everyone's mistakes, but I can't find fault with your movements. ”
Huang Sheng didn't care, nor was he modest, and said with a smile: "You can notice this, and you are also very keen." ”
The two looked into each other's eyes and quickly came to a conclusion about each other: smart people.
Wei Xi swept his gaze over the math textbook and asked, "Gu, what do you think of this textbook?" ”
"It's very systematic, and it's very good as a ladder to higher mathematics."
"You've learned that in the East, too?" Wei Xi said, with a bit of inexplicable curiosity in his tone, a hint of pure arrogance.
"Well, Vesie, did you go to school before you came here?"
"Almost, once in a while my grandfather would teach me some basic swordsmanship, although I didn't want to practice it, oh, you know, as a descendant of knights, sometimes it's hard. Good thing that Fereste is not far from London......"
……
"Then you must be familiar with this manor, is there a library here? I want to look something up. ”
"There's a library, not far behind this building, what do you want to look up?"
"I want to see what is happening in the East, what the Western media say."
"Looking at the same thing from different angles, Gu, you really surprised me, do Oriental people have such an open mind?"
While speaking, the apprentices came one after another, and the unknown Japanese boy looked at him several times, as if he was about to make some moves, but he never acted, and Weixi seemed to notice it, and casually mentioned him, whose name was Tanaka Ma.
started the class, sure enough, "listening" is also like a native language, no obstacles, Huang Sheng didn't say a word, until he heard that after school at noon, Yu Tunan came over, Huang Sheng said about the library, Yu Tunan was noncommittal, took him to the library building, and said: "Don't take too long." "I flipped through it myself.
"Okay." Huang Shang responded and asked the librarian: "Uncle, I want to read the comments of Western newspapers and periodicals on the modern and modern Oriental world, where can I find it?" ”
The administrator was a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, with a scruffy beard, fluffy hair, and blank eyes, but Huang Sheng never dared to underestimate this profession, and asked very politely.
The uncle was lazy, pointing in a random direction, and Huang Shang thanked him, and found several large bookshelves there, one of which was full of newspapers and magazines, the Times, the New York Times, The Sun, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, etc., and the latest issue marked the same time: October 7, 1904.
"Ah, ...... 1904"
Huang Shang sighed, looking for those years and turned them over, 1884, 1894, 1900......
In the oriental section, ten lines at a glance, Huang Shang sorted out a few pieces of information that were different from those in his memory, and silently estimated them.
In January 1884, the Sino-French war was ignited in Annam, the Qing army was defeated and retreated, in November of the same year, a palace coup occurred in the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Cixi died of a violent illness, and the Guangxu Emperor, who was 16 years old, promoted Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong two important ministers, and in December, defeated the French Far East Fleet, which led to the collapse of the Faferi regime and shocked the Western world.
In August 1894, the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese Naval War broke out, and in April of the following year, the Beiyang Naval Division defeated the Japanese Navy, and under the intervention of Britain and France, forced the Japanese cabinet to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki, and paid an indemnity of 70 million taels of silver.
In this battle, Emperor Guangxu promoted a series of ministers, with Sun Wen, Yuan Shikai, Tan Sitong and the three people are particularly eye-catching, respectively appointed as the prime minister Yamen prime minister to walk, the prime minister to learn to walk, the power in hand, the reform of the new policy, but also the change of service, caused a strong backlash of the old school forces led by the Manchu nobles.
In 1901, under the pretext that the expatriates were killed, Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Russia, Japan, Belgium, Italy, and Australia formed a coalition army, a total of 37,000 people, under the strange almost inaction of the Qing navy, landed in Tianjin, and went straight to the imperial capital, the Qing army blocked halfway, the two sides fought a big battle, the Qing army was defeated, the casualties were not counted, the coalition army re-advanced, and encountered the ambush of Sun, Yuan, and Tan in the suburbs of Dijingdong, and was defeated and sent out of the country. The newspapers of the West exclaimed: The lion of the East has woken up!
Huang Shang looked for the current action of the Qing court, repairing the railway in the stuffy head, and making every effort to develop education and industry, but the voice of the old school was greatly weakened for some reason, and it was almost inaudible.
"In this way, Emperor Guangxu is very suspicious, is it a traverser, or a chess piece? Why did he stage a coup d'état to achieve these victories? Goldfinger? Who was the ...... before the crossing?"
Huang Shang put the newspaper back in its place, and while thinking, he went back with Yu Tunan, and asked halfway: "Senior Sister Yu, how powerful is the knight?" ”
At this time, the two of them just climbed the gentle slope, Yu Tunan stopped, turned around and looked into the distance, Huang Sheng followed her gaze, it was a lake downstream of the river, embedded in the green grass, reflecting the sun in the sky, blue.
"That lake is the remains of a knight's battle against a powerful enemy."
