sell

Then submit.

That's what Lu Shi did.

He looked at the group of students who were listening carefully, and he was quite proud in his heart, but his face was a calm and breezy appearance.

"You've all read the series I wrote, so you're sure you know the beginning of the series: the Inca Emperor Atahualpa led 168 Varaca warriors to capture King Charles ......I of Spain," he said.

The students in the square thought they had misheard.

Solomon said, "Professor Lu is the opposite, right? ”

Nikolic shook his head,

"No, Professor Lu just mentioned 'Waraka warrior', which is a literal translation from the Quechua language and means 'sling sling'. How could such an obscure word be used, could it be unintentional? ”

Solomon was shocked,

"You know that, too?"

Nikolic said angrily: "Don't forget that I am a Spaniard, and I am better at retrieving information about that period of history than you." ”

The two whispered.

And, not only them, but other students are also talking,

But no one stood up to question Lu Shi.

Lu Shi smiled and said, "I see that you are all holding back your words, why don't you say it?" Where is the momentum to question authority? ”

The students laughed,

The atmosphere in the square is even better.

Someone asked, "Professor Lu, shouldn't it be the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire?" Your article has already analyzed that geography and environment contributed to the development of Europe, making European civilization more advanced than other civilizations. ”

Lu Shi nodded, and shook his head again,

"Any argument that tends to be absolutist is inevitably problematic."

As soon as these words came out, the students were once again confused.

Lu Shi's article is full of geographical determinism, but the kind of argument he just made is tantamount to denying his own views in the article.

Cheren could not accept it,

"Professor Lu, do you know what you're talking about?"

George Bernard Shaw hurriedly stopped: "Rudolph! You calm down! ”

Cheren said solemnly: "Xiao, don't forget that the purpose of my coming to London is to rely on Professor Lu's intelligence and erudition to improve geopolitical theory. As a result, it's good now, he actually took the initiative to shrink, so what should I do? ”

When Cheren turned to land,

"Professor Lu, please explain the point you just made clearly!"

Sudden pressure,

The air seemed to be filled with sticky asphalt, making it difficult to breathe.

Seeing the debate between the two professors, the students below were both nervous and excited.

Lu Shi said: "Everyone, do you know that there is a dynasty in China, the Ming Dynasty? I mentioned it in the article. ”

Nikolić said: "You also talked about Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Because of his decision, Zheng He's voyage to the West was short-lived, and the Ming Dynasty failed to develop large-scale maritime trade and colonize Southeast Asia. ”

Lu Shi nodded his head,

"That's right! So I now ask a question: what if Zhu Yuanzhang was not an ultra-conservative yeoman farmer, but a ruler inclined to maritime trade? ”

This stopped everyone.

Lu Shi said again: "You don't understand the words of the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't matter, I'll change to a ...... you are familiar with." Well...... The Carolingian dynasty, if the Carolingian dynasty had not been divided but had continued, would there have been a unity in Europe? ”

The Carolingian dynasty was a feudal dynasty that ruled the Frankish kingdom in the 8th ~ 10th centuries, named after its family name Carolingian.

The dynasty eventually dissolved because of the emperor's illness.

Gradually, someone understood what Lu Shi wanted to express.

If human history is a curve, then geography and ecology are the yardsticks of this curve.

However, the curve is not smooth, but there are abrupt points, which are "historical figures" and "historical events", which also play an important role in history.

So you can't just look at the effect of the ruler on the curve, but not see the complexity of the curve itself.

Lu Shi said: "Discussing the development of human civilization itself is nothing, but it must not be easily conclusive. Why is it now possible to start discussing the proposition of 'why European civilization is superior to other civilizations'? If you want me to say, in 150 years, it is still possible for China to unify the Eurasian continent and dominate the world~"

History is a long-distance race between civilizations,

The short-term outburst is certainly eye-catching, but it is not yet known who will take the top spot in the end.

However, China ......

Thinking that the distant eastern country would dominate the Eurasian continent, the students did not believe it.

Lu Shi was not ready to convince them, and continued: "So, you should be able to understand what I mean, right? ”

The students nodded their heads together,

But the problem is that understanding is understanding, and people are also confused by Lu Shi.

The articles published in the Manchester Guardian were clearly written by Lu Shi, and he even won the title of "founder of new historiography" for those articles.

In this case, why argue with yourself?

The eerie silence of the square,

“……”

“……”

“……”

The students couldn't help but look at each other.

Lu Shi sighed,

"It seems that you still don't understand. What was the first thing I mentioned at the beginning of the lecture? ”

Gauss's story?

Everyone was puzzled.

At this time, Cheren suddenly slapped his palm and said, "I understand!" Professor Luk first mentioned the concept of 'modern historiography'. ”

The students also reacted.

Professor Lu just refuted himself in order to let everyone's focus not focus on the conclusions of the article, but to focus on digging deep into the open-minded view of historiography.

George Bernard Shaw said, "It's not that simple. Have you forgotten that Professor Lu also criticized the behavior of 'carrying authority against authority'? Therefore, students, you must question Professor Lu's article a lot, and the more you question it, the happier he will be. ”

How can you understand that?

Lu Shiren was stupid.

But the students took George Bernard Shaw's words seriously,

"I didn't expect Professor Lu to be so serious, and in order to remind us, he refuted his own views."

"That's right, how can the academic level of people who can write those articles be low?"

"Professor Lu is a Chinese student, and I don't know how many white eyes he has suffered along the way. In this case, he can still guide us British students regardless of his past suspicions, and we must repay him well. ”

"The best reward is to study hard and question his writings."

"That's right, question it fiercely!"

……

Land Hours: ???

He looked at George Bernard Shaw,

"Mr. Superintendent, you ......"

I stopped halfway through the conversation, because I really didn't know how to explain it.

George Bernard Shaw was smiling brightly,

"Professor Lu doesn't need to thank me, I will be satisfied if you can let these children feel your good intentions."

Lu Shi had 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart, but he could only laugh helplessly,

"Thank you, Mr. Chancellor."

George Bernard Shaw waved his hand and said, "No thanks." Really, no thanks. ”

Sincerity was written all over his face.
