Chapter 44, Lesson 1
"Does anyone know what those two words mean?"
Zuo Ying pointed to the two words behind him that seemed to be on his shoulders, looked at the people below and asked.
"Isn't history history? Isn't that what happened in the past? What's there to ask about this. A classmate named Zhang Nan said with a smile.
Zuo Ying looked at Zhang Nan and asked, "It's just what happened in the past?" ”
"Or else?" Zhang Nan replied with a smile again.
Zuo Ying smiled slightly, looked at Zhang Nan and asked, "Classmate, where are you from?" ”
Zhang Nandao: "Ningcheng's, what's wrong?" ”
Zuo Ying said: "Then do you know about the Ningcheng Massacre? ”
Zhang Nan nodded, "Of course I know, but that was more than seventy years ago, what's wrong?" ”
Zuo Ying looked at him and said seriously: "Since you know about the Ningcheng massacre, then you should know that you can't be from Ningcheng. ”
Zhang Nan felt inexplicable, and chuckled: "Teacher, are you mistaken, I was born in Ningcheng, how can I not be from Ningcheng?" My ancestors have lived in Ningcheng for generations. ”
Zuo Ying shook his head, "The real people of Ningcheng have been slaughtered by the people of the Chuyang Kingdom, how can there be people from Ningcheng." ”
Zhang Nan obviously didn't believe it, "How is it possible, Ningcheng is such a big city, how can it be completely killed." ”
Zuo Ying was silent, and then shook the textbook in his hand, "You can open the book, find the page of the Ningcheng Massacre and take a good look, it will tell you the answer." ”
The people below were already looking for them, and Li Jingan also picked up the textbook and flipped through it, and after a little while, he found a record of the Ningcheng Massacre.
Qin Shenghan on the side also found it, and hurriedly handed it to Li Jing'an, and said: "You see there is a record here, in the Daning calendar, eleven years ago, the country of Chuyang sent troops to attack Ningcheng, and after capturing the city, everyone in Ningcheng was killed in an extremely cruel way, jianyin, arson, and robbery...... Many means are constantly ...... There is also the most notorious killing race.
In this incident, more than 300,000 people were killed directly, and countless more were indirectly killed......"
Seeing this, Qin Shenghan took a deep breath, looked at Li Jing'an in disbelief, and asked, "Li Jing'an, is this true?" ”
Li Jing'an snorted, "I've heard a lot of old people in the village say that some of them went there back then. ”
Qin Shenghan opened his mouth, "Isn't the Izuyang Kingdom a small country?" Can they take our city? ”
Li Jingan said: "Didn't the book say it? This happened before the establishment of Daning, when the world was in turmoil and there were many wars. There was also an invasion from the Western powers, and the enemy was attacked on the back. It was at that time that the Kingdom of Izuyang took the opportunity to cross the East China Sea and capture Ningcheng. ”
Qin Shenghan pursed his lips and said: "The people of the Yang Kingdom are really hateful, they actually killed so many of us, so we didn't take revenge later?" ”
Li Jing'an said: "It's good to be able to retreat, revenge?" It's not that easy. ”
Qin Shenghan said: "What now? Now that our Daning is prosperous and strong, can't we take revenge? ”
Li Jingan shook his head, "I don't know." I'm also a Muggle and don't know much about these things. But I know one thing, that is, the people of the Izuyang Kingdom are still wolf ambitions, although they were defeated back then, they will not be reconciled, and they will definitely make a comeback. ”
Qin Shenghan asked curiously, "Why do you say that?" ”
Li Jing'an looked into her eyes and said, "Your impression of the Izuyang Kingdom is only romantic cherry blossoms, samurai kendo, small country ingenuity, and the cuteness of women." ”
Qin Shenghan asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”
Li Jingan said: "Of course there is a problem, our impression of the country of Izuyang should not be the only one." There are so many things that we have forgotten.
For example, how much do you know about this Ningcheng massacre? Don't you know much? Why don't you know much? ”
Li Jing'an concluded, "Because some people are downplaying these histories, some people want us to forget." ”
Qin Shenghan was puzzled and asked, "Isn't it good to forget this humiliating history?" ”
Li Jing'an looked at her like a fool, and then said slowly: "I'll give you an inappropriate example, if someone kills your father and makes you suffer, will you forget these hatreds?" ”
Qin Shenghan immediately said: "Of course not, I will definitely take revenge." ”
Li Jingan spread his hands, "It's not enough, it's the same reason." It's clear that we have a grudge against them, but we have almost forgotten about this hatred, and that's okay? ”
Qin Shenghan understood, and asked again, "Then what is the reason for this?" ”
Li Jingan tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Maybe there are traitors among the masses, someone is quietly changing these and trying to downplay them as much as possible."
I heard that a large number of people enter our Daning every year in the country of Deyang, and there are many students who go to the Changming School Palace to practice, and those who have graduated can still be officials in Daning in the court. ”
Qin Shenghan said: "They have learned something, isn't it good for us to use it?" ”
Li Jing'an glanced at her again, and then sighed, "Why are you so elbow." How do you know that someone else is working for you and not for themselves? ”
Qin Shenghan was scolded, but he was not angry, he just scratched his head and said, "You mean that they may be doing things for us on the surface, but in fact, they are doing things for their own country behind their backs?" ”
Li Jing'an nodded, "You have to understand that those who are not of my race will have different hearts. We have a blood feud with the country of Izuyang, and a few years ago, wasn't there often trouble in the area of Haicheng?
How did those pirates enter our East China Sea? Is there really no one in the court to answer? ”
Qin Shenghan was taken aback, "You mean, the reason why those would-be robbers were able to enter the East China Sea and reach Haicheng was because someone in the imperial court was helping them?" ”
Li Jing'an said: "I guess so, because in addition, I really can't figure out why the Japanese will appear in Haicheng, you must know that there are naval troops stationed near Haicheng, and no one responds, let alone landing, even if they enter the East China Sea, it is unlikely."
But those would-be robbers even landed, and they burned and robbed several towns. It's astonishing. ”
Qin Shenghan asked, "Then who is helping them?" ”
Li Jingan rolled her eyes, "How do I know, I don't know anything about the imperial court." Aren't you the lord of the county? Didn't your father tell you this? ”
Qin Shenghan shook his head, "My father never told me this. ”
Li Jingan shook her head, "No wonder you don't know anything. ”
After saying that, he went to read the book by himself.
Qin Shenghan's face turned red, knowing that he was disgusted. If it was in the past, she would definitely be fried, but in front of Li Jing'an, she didn't dare, but seeing that Li Jing'an didn't want to pay attention to her, she was a little aggrieved.
"Did you find the answer?" Left Shadow asked.
The classmate from Ning Cheng from before nodded.
Zuo Ying looked at him and said, "Then I said earlier that you are not from Ningcheng, is it true?" ”
Zhang Nan nodded and shook his head, shook his head and nodded, he couldn't figure out whether he was from Ningcheng now.
It seems to be, and it doesn't seem to be.
Zhang Nan raised his head and asked, "Teacher, did the Izuyang Kingdom really kill so many of us?" Is there really 300,000? ”
Zuo Ying said: "Maybe more, 300,000 is only recorded, and I don't know how many are not recorded." ”
Zhang Nan slammed his fist on the table, "Damn the people of the Yang country, Lao Tzu must slaughter them all." ”
The rest of the people chimed in, "Yes, the Izuyang Kingdom killed our people, and this blood revenge must be avenged." ”
"The country of the dog is out of the sun, and it is really impatient to dare to invade our Daning."
"We will report to the imperial court, and let the imperial court send troops to attack the Yang Kingdom, and this revenge cannot be avenged."
"Yes, report to the court and inform Your Majesty."
……
Looking at the angry crowd below, a relieved smile appeared at the corner of Zuo Ying's mouth, and said: "I am very happy to see everyone angry, which shows that Daning's bloody nature has not been broken, and Daning's red sword is still sharp." ”
After a pause, he said, "I hope you will always maintain this sincerity forever." ”
After he said this, his expression was inexplicably a little lonely, as if he had thought of something, and his left hand, which was wrapped in bandages, also had a faint pain.
After a moment, he looked up again and said, "History is heavy and cruel. Now you still think that history is just what happened? ”
The crowd shook their heads.
Zuo Ying looked down, "Okay, then now you tell me, what is history?" Why should we study history? ”
"Because history is a blood feud, we do not forget."
"It should be a lesson, and we should reflect on it."
"It's a wake-up call, let's be vigilant at all times."
"It's ...... tribulation"
"It's a scar......"
……
Everyone expressed their opinions and the discussion was intense.
Li Jingan listened to the voice in his ears and looked at the angry faces, as if he understood a little bit of national hatred and family hatred.
It's just that he doesn't feel it deeply, he doesn't feel the pain firsthand, so he can't really "empathize", and he doesn't have that blood-surging anger.
Many words, to him, seemed to him to be just lines, because they were all far away, and he was born in peacetime, so those things, he easily thought that they were only a page of history, not his hatred and suffering.
As long as the pain does not fall on him, he will never understand the pain.
He thinks that he is an indifferent person, and it is difficult to have compassion for what others are suffering. He always seems to have a habit of looking at the world from a distance, as a bystander.
But......
For some reason, he looked at the words, listened to the angry voices of the people in his ears, and recalled some of the war stories he had heard before. His heart was faintly restless again.
Looking at the time, Zuo Ying smiled and said, "Okay, everyone, this is the end of today's first lesson, class is over." ”
Qin Shenghan looked at him and asked, "Teacher, you haven't announced the answer yet?" What exactly is history? ”
The rest of the people also looked at him, expecting him to give the answer.
Zuo Ying looked at the group of children below, just as his teacher stood above and looked at him below, and then gave the same answer, "History is history!" ”
Everyone looked at each other, isn't this answer the same as what Zhang Nan said?
"Isn't history history?"
The bell rings.
Knock Knock...... Knock Knock......
End of Lesson 1!
