There is no doubt that from the perspective of automobiles and airplanes, Ming has replaced Western Europe and become the world's number one scientific and technological power.

Crossing the river by touching the Ming Kingdom is not only the consensus of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the British Empire, but also the consensus of many people of insight in Russia.

Alexander II felt that this peace negotiation would be a good opportunity to make demands on the Ming state.

Of course, he himself did not have the time, nor the ability, to follow the example of Peter I and go to the Ming Kingdom to study in person.

And as a Russian monarch, going to study with the Orientals, at least for now, will still attract a lot of criticism.

But he plans to send a team of about 200 students to study in Mingguo, and let his daughter be his representative to further his studies.

Alexander II touched Maria's head and said seriously: "I can't expect you to be a great woman like Catherine, but, as the chosen daughter who is responsible for bringing Greece back to Rome, I hope that you will be able to go to the other side of the world again and bring the secret of the rise of the Ming Kingdom back to the great Constantinople!" ”

Maria frowned, a question mark on her face.

But "Midnight Fairy Tale" at 11 p.m. is about to start.

In order to avoid her father's long nagging, Maria nodded heavily......

The first person to send his children to Daming to study was named Li Hongzhang.

Now he has risen to prominence and has become the king of South Africa.

Therefore, it can be seen that sending children to study in Daming is a beautiful thing.

It's just that the son is still not his own, so it's hard to say.

When Zhu Fugui heard that the tsar had made sending students to study in Fengdu one of the negotiation requirements, he was still deeply surprised.

There are international students in Daming.

This kind of thing as an international student, whether it is the Tang and Song dynasties or even "my Qing Dynasty", is not unusual.

It is a common norm for a large number of princes and sons of North Korea and other countries to come to the feet of the Son of Heaven to study.

Nowadays, although the Ming Dynasty is a new dynasty, it also retains such a tradition.

If you don't count Sha Jingfang, the most heavyweight among them is probably Zuo Xiaowei, the son of the king of Western Chu.

He is an outstanding graduate of Guozijian and has always been in the top three in his class during his time in school.

There is no way, people's summer social practice reports are hardcore reports, and the sand table deduction of ordinary students cannot be compared at all.

Speaking of which, Zuo Xiaowei came to Daming to study, or Zhu Fugui asked for it.

Zuo Zongtang thought that this was the technique of the Son of Heaven, so he had nothing to complain about, and sent the eldest son to Fengdu as a proton.

At that time, Zuo Xiaowei was only 22 years old, but he already had the knowledge to lift people.

Zuo Zongtang often took him with him to teach him the art of war, and he had already learned something.

Therefore, Zuo Zongtang did not think that there was any need for the eldest son of this age to enter the school again.

It wasn't until later that he knew he was so wrong.

Moreover, Zuo Zongtang also found that although his son had no preferential treatment in Fengdu, he did not have any constraints and grounding, but just like an ordinary student, he learned a lot of real talents.

even talked about a girlfriend whose ancestral home is Shandong.

Only then did Zuo Zongtang know that it was not uncommon for his son to ask for his proton at all, but he really wanted to cultivate his son.

This made him very ashamed, and he even went to the fold of a plea.

But in fact, the reason why Zhu Fugui named Zuo Xiaowei to come to Fengdu was because Zuo Zongtang's most beloved eldest son and the most capable eldest son died of illness on the way to the west.

He was only 26 years old.

In other words, if Zhu Fugui hadn't recruited him to Fengdu and received an advanced medical examination, Lao Zuo would have almost sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person.

In short, there are many international students in Daming, and there is no specialization, and there are no corresponding regulations for the management of international students.

But this time, the Russians want to send their princess and a group of outstanding young people to study abroad, which has to make Zhu Fugui vigilant.

The princess Maria, who had a one-sided relationship, didn't mention it for the time being, just a few names on the list were enough to give Zhu Fugui a headache.

Among a group of long-spirited Russian names, Zhu Fugui noticed such names as "Alexander Starpanovich Popov", "Alexander Mikhailovich Zaitsev", and "Ivan Petrovich Pavlov......

Alexander Stapanovich Popov, 17 years old......

In 1895, Russia's greatest electrical engineer invented the world's most complete radio broadcast.

Alexander Mikhailovich Zaitsev, 20 years old......

A chemist second only to Mendeleev in Russian history, the discoverer of the "Zaitsev rule" of organic elimination reactions.

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, 21 years old......

The future famous physiologist, psychologist, physician, founder of the theory of advanced neural activity, founder of the physiology of advanced neural activity, builder of the theory of conditioning, good friend of dogs.

……

Those names that have been brilliant in the history of human science are now not conspicuous in this list of international students.

Among the prominent places are the names of some of the children of the Russian royal family and nobility.

Of course, the most conspicuous is the princess Maria of the Romanov family.

With her as a weather vane, many aristocrats realized that this was a good opportunity to gild their children.

Due to the tireless pursuit of cultural invasion by the Ming Dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty is now an enemy country, its cultural soft power in Russia is second only to France, and it is rising rapidly.

Visionaries believe that in five or ten years, having a Mingguo diploma will be something to brag about.

As for the children of the non-aristocracy, they were selected by the Russian Ministry of Education from the best universities in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

For example, Pavlov in "Pavlov and the Dog", which every student in later generations heard like thunder, was a student of St. Petersburg University.

Zhu Fugui took a closer look at his resume and was surprised to find that this guy had just changed from the law department to the medical department last semester, and his grades in both majors were excellent.

Why change your major!

Studying medicine can't save Russians!

Zhu Fugui felt that Pavlov's abandonment of the legal profession was a great loss for Russia.

It is necessary for him to lead him back to the promising cause of ruling the country.

After all, a lawyer's influence is much greater than that of a doctor.

And, ethical lawyers aside, the litigators who quote the scriptures have always been the best friends of imperialism.

Left-wing moderate dictatorial imperialism cannot be mistaken for imperialism!

Anyway, Zhu Fugui felt that it was right to copy this matter according to the US imperialists.

Science and engineering, biology, and medicine are strangled, humanities, social sciences, and economics are open, and literature, art, and law beg you to study and return the subsidies!

This is Zhu Fugui's initial idea......

Of course, the Russian government may protest.

Leave it all to me, wait for them to protest.

Anyway, Zhu Fugui read the terms several times, and there is no restriction on the majors of international students.

I founded the country with culture, and it is natural to teach them a little more liberal arts......

Of course, if there are young Russians who aspire to become citizens of the Ming Dynasty and want to learn some hard and tiring science and engineering, it is not impossible.

The premise is that there is indeed exceptional talent, as well as loyalty......

Maybe one day, Lomonosov University in Moscow and St. Petersburg University will become training bases for Da Ming farmers and laboratory test pipe workers......
