Reading the comments of book friends made me feel intimidated.

I wanted to write about the revolution and the nation, but in the end I gave up.

Bear with me.

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

Lu Shi's words were deafening.

Zhang Taiyan was silent,

“……”

It seems that he was so frightened that he had nothing to say.

His gaze wandered around, and his expression was slightly impatient, as if he was looking for something.

Lu Shi was curious,

"What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Taiyan waved his hand and said, "No, not much." I was just...... Alas...... I just couldn't concentrate a little. I wanted to have a good argument with you, but I'm afraid it's hard now. It's not bright, it's not smart......"

Lu Shizheng was puzzled, and suddenly remembered that the other party was a smoker.

Zhang Taiyan smokes everything, from cigarette rolls to hookahs,

Every time you smoke a shisha, there must be a cigarette butt on the floor of the house, and even thousands of small black spots are burned on the floor.

Moreover, he also smoked during lectures, holding chalk in one hand and cigarette rolls in the other.

When writing a book on the board, I mistakenly took a cigarette roll and wrote on the blackboard;

When smoking, he mistakenly put chalk in his mouth as a cigarette.

It often elicits laughter.

Lu Shi was speechless,

“……”

After getting to know Churchill, he knew that smokers were indeed like this, and they couldn't concentrate without smoking.

He went out and called people,

After a while, the guards brought in cigarettes.

Zhang Taiyan's eyes couldn't help but light up,

"Good stuff!"

He couldn't put down the cigarette case, and whispered, "I never buy the Great Britain brand myself, it's too expensive!" ”

The British brand is actually a Chinese translation,

When the British American Tobacco Company first entered China, it mainly relied on imports, which were expensive and could not be sold in large quantities.

That's why Zhang Taiyan said it was expensive.

"Whew~"

He took a greedy breath, his eyes sharpening again.

Lu Shi said: "You stay for a while, I'll find someone to release you." ”

After that, he got up and was about to leave.

Zhang Taiyan hurriedly said: "Slow down, slow down." ”

When he pulled the land,

"Mr. Lu, why don't you let me go now? Give me a cigarette and smoke, do you want to keep me? ”

Lu Shi couldn't help but pout,

"You were invited to the platform by Toushanman, and you were thrown into prison. If I don't lock you up for half a day, I'll let you go now, Tou Shanman asked, how do you explain? ”

Zhang Taiyan laughed,

"Do you need to talk about it?"

He knocked the cigarette ash on the ground and said, "Of course, you can't argue with me, and I have been educated to wake up and cry bitterly~"

!

Lu Shi was completely defeated by this madman.

He waved his hand,

"Go ahead and fantasize. I still have something to do, and I don't have the time to accompany you. ”

Zhang Taiyan smoked a cigarette and had a clear mind,

Suddenly, he lowered his posture,

"Mr. Lu, what you just said does have some truth. Just, alas...... The black dragon will contribute money and efforts, but it is a real deal. How does this make a man guess his thoughts? ”

Lu Shi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows,

Zhang Taiyan "speculated" that there were fewer others?

Lu Shi thought for a while and asked, "What does Mr. Zhang think about Guan Yu's death?" ”

Actually, he wanted to put it bluntly,

However, most of the literati in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China had the same urine nature, and they reasoned without talking about the reason, which was lacking in taste in the eyes of others.

Lu Shi can't help it.

Zhang Taiyan was very surprised,

"Mr. Lu, how do you know that I have a different view on this matter?"

Lu Shi said: "I have heard of your article. ”

Indeed, I heard about it.

Zhang Taiyan thought that Guan Yu was a tiger minister, and after Liu Bei's death, it was difficult for the queen to control.

But Guan Yu has a lot of credit, and he has not made a mistake, so he can't find a convincing reason to get rid of him, so he put forward a theory:

"The land of Jingzhou is in Wu, with the life of Guan Yu."

That sounds violent.

But because it is Zhang Taiyan's point of view, coupled with being novel and bold enough, it is regarded as the Bible by many modern Kong Minghei.

Lu Shi said: "Isn't your idea just 'speculation'? It's untenable. ”

Zhang Taiyan showed an expression of "let me teach you well",

"You don't read carefully. Think about it, how did Zhuge Liang suggest that Liu Bei deal with Liu Feng? Plus Liu Feng...... Hum...... Chen Shou commented, 'In a place of suspicion, thinking and defense is not enough to defend oneself'. ”

Liu Feng is fierce and difficult to control,

After Liu Chan became the crown prince, Liu Feng's identity was embarrassing.

Moreover, Liu Feng doesn't know how to protect himself, which is Chen Shou's evaluation,

Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei to get rid of him.

Lu Shi said helplessly: "What do you call this?" Liu Feng lost the three counties and dealt with them according to military law, shouldn't he be killed? ”

Zhang Taiyan took a puff of cigarette and pursed his lips,

didn't speak, but it seemed that he didn't quite agree with Lu Shi's point of view.

Lu Shi said: "You have read my books "The Nature of Japanese Civilization" and "The Rise of Great Powers", then you should know my views on historical materials. For historical materials, you have to analyze them reasonably and reason logically. ”

Zhang Taiyan glanced at Lu Shi,

"Okay, I'll hear what your 'logic' is."

Lu Shi explained: "Let's take a step back, even if Zhuge Liang wants to harm Guan Yu, can he do it? ”

Zhang Taiyan waved his hand,

"Borrow a knife to kill someone~"

Lu Shi said: "Pull! That's! Zhuge Liang couldn't command Guan Yu to launch such a big battle, let alone command Dongwu to cooperate. What's more, Guan Yu's defeat was due to accidental factors, which can be controlled by humans? ”

Zhang Taiyan was silent,

“……”

He always felt that history should be based on historical materials.

The motives of historical figures should also be found in historical sources.

I didn't expect the so-called "logic" to be so interesting.

Lu Shi said again: "Moreover, Longzhong should always know about you, right?" In Zhuge Liang's mind, Jingzhou's status is so important, will he use it to trade with Dongwu? It's still your own tiger general who kills...... Besides, Liu Bei entered Shu, accompanied by a large number of people from Jingzhou, and the ancestral industry was there, what would they think of Zhuge Liang's design? ”

It's like some modern TV series,

The emperor had a suspicion, so he wiped out his 70,000 elites, completely ignoring how much it would cost to train so many people.

Nor does it take into account how many family members of these soldiers have to be all over the country, or even officials in the DPRK and China.

It's as if they all came out of an orphanage.

Lu Shi had only heard of policies such as the army and peasants and disbanding on the spot, and had never heard of "changing the army into corpses".

It's really outrageous, his father opened the door outrageously-

Outrageous home!

Of course, in his later years, Zhang Taiyan also revised his opinion, believing that his evaluation of Kong Ming was untenable.

He once said:

"The so-called Yun'er when he was young, he was involved in the Ji Shi in his later years, and he was able to see the intentions of the ancients."

Subsequently, he revised the relevant article,

changed from "Zhengge" to "Commenting on Ge", and felt that it was inappropriate, so it was changed to "Yige", but in the end it was "Sige".

Lu Shi continued: "So, don't say that I 'speculate' about others, this is a double standard. ”

Zhang Taiyan looked confused,

"Double ...... Double what? ”

Lu Shi said: "It's a double standard. ”

Zhang Taiyan's old face turned red and fell into deep thought,

I don't know how long later, the cigarette he lit burned into his hand, and he said, "Ah! He screamed before he came back to his senses and said, "Professor Lu's method of studying history is indeed worth learning. ”

The title of Lu Shi has been raised one notch.

Originally it was "land time";

became the later "Mr. Lu";

Now it's "Professor Lu".

Lu Shi muttered in a low voice: "You people, are you all like this...... one or two?"

Zhang Taiyan was dumbfounded,

"Who else is like me?"

Lu Shi said: "Mr. Gu Hongming. ”

Zhang Taiyan couldn't hold back, rolled his eyes, and said, "His level of education should be slightly worse than mine." Of course, compared with Professor Lu, it is even worse. ”

Saying this kind of thing is equivalent to admitting that Lu Shi is better than him,

It's just that it's too arrogant to say.

Lu Shi didn't bother to care,

"Okay, I'm really ......"

The voice did not fall,

"Wait!"

Zhang Taiyan stopped Lu Shi again and said in a low voice: "Professor Lu, that's all the talk. Then do you think that the Black Dragon Society is sponsoring us out of ......"

The words were not explicitly asked,

It's all in plain sight.

Lu Shi said: "Don't you like 'speculation'? ”

Zhang Taiyan replied: "I don't like unreasonable speculation. Logical speculation, I like it. ”

Say change is change,

The skin is too thick.

Lu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Mr. Zhang is also a wonderful person who attaches importance to practicality. ”

He bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then said, "Once you have completed your mission of unleashing revolutionary ideas, you will be abandoned by the Black Dragon Society. That's all I have to say. ”

After that, he stopped staying in the room and left.

Zhang Taiyan took another puff of cigarette,

"Whew~"

The smoke ring then spits out.

The smoke is a faint orange-red, as if dyed by the sun,

They rose slowly, leaving a faint trail in the air.

Lu Shi's words did not go away in Zhang Taiyan's heart for a long time.

I don't know how long it has been,

Knock Knock Knock –

There was a knock on the door outside.

The guards didn't wait for Zhang Taiyan to answer, they came in directly, and said bluntly: "Let's go!" Sir Lu said, I can't keep you for too long! ”

Zhang Taiyan stepped on the cigarette butt,

He then left with the guards.

Less than two hundred meters away from Buchanan's mansion, Toushan Man appeared with more than a dozen Black Dragon Society people.

He pressed his right hand against the back of the katana,

"Mr. Zhang, are you alright? I wanted to go in and rescue you. ”

It sounds very sincere.

But at this time, Zhang Taiyan no longer believed it,

He shook his head,

"It's fine. I'm fine. ”

Tou Shanman asked again: "Just now, I saw Sir Lu leave in a carriage, and the destination seems to be the Imperial University. Did he say yes......"

Zhang Taiyan said: "I didn't agree. However, he told me a lot of advanced ideas. ”

Tou Shanman's eyes flashed with a trace of excitement,

"You say, 'advanced thinking'?"

Zhang Taiyan's definition of "advanced", do you still need to explain too much?

Toushan Man never expected,

There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.

Bringing in two Chinese to help stand on the platform is really the right decision.

He asked, "So what are you going to do now?" ”

Zhang Taiyan replied: "I'll ...... when I go back Don't rush yet. Let's go to Imperial University, shall we? Maybe you can catch up with Professor Lu and the students? ”

His heart is like a mirror,

Treat the Black Dragon Society, and really have to have reservations.

These people are not small!

Tou Shanman didn't realize that he had been pried into the corner by Lu Shi, and ordered his subordinates with joy: "Go find the coachman!" ”

……

Tokyo Imperial University.

Imperial University, abbreviated as "Imperial University", was a group of Japanese national universities that existed from 1886 to 1945.

These universities symbolize Japan's highest honor and have a strong imperialist overtone.

Tokyo Imperial University, the "first of the imperial universities", was the highest university in Japan, and until the Taisho era, the emperor of Japan would attend the annual graduation ceremony and personally present watches to outstanding graduates.

At the beginning of April, the breath of spring has begun to diffuse,

Sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and sprinkles every corner of the campus, bringing warmth to this ancient institution.

Lu Shi, Natsume Soseki, and Kikuchi Oki are walking together.

Kikuchi Dairo said, "In front of it is Yutokuen. ”

Lu Shi nodded,

In the distance, he could see the crowd there,

"There are a lot of people~"

Kikuchi Orochi couldn't help laughing,

"Sir Lu, you may be underestimating your fame. As the author of "The Rise of Great Powers: Japan" and "The Nature of Japanese Civilization", he is bound to be sought after by students. ”

The word "sought after" is used delicately.

Lu Shi did not pick up the stubble.

Kikuchi Dailu didn't feel embarrassed either,

He looked at the capable British guards behind Lu Shi and said, "Sir Lu, when you communicate for a while, you won't be ready to take them with you, right?" ”

Lu Shi nodded,

"With you, of course."

"Ah......h

Kikuchi touched his nose and said, "Are you like this when you were in London and Cambridge?" ”

Lu Shi smiled mysteriously,

Not answering, but also giving an answer.

Kikuchi Dailu said, "Then I suggest that you better ...... I don't mean anything else. You always have guards with you, which is easy to misunderstand. ”

Lu Shi asked, "What is the misunderstanding?" ”

Kikuchi Dalu "forehead ......",

He felt that he had said it bluntly enough, but he didn't expect Lu Shi to still not understand,

Or, I understood, but I was pretending to be confused.

There was no way, Kikuchi Dalu could only make his words clear: "Sir Lu, if you are like this, you will make the whole school teachers and students misunderstand that you don't trust them, and even simple exchanges must be fully armed." ”

Lu Shi spreads his hands,

"It's not a mistake...... Forehead...... I mean, you guys are thinking too much. ”

Kikuchi foothills are full of black lines,

￣□￣｜｜

The heart says,

Lu Shi really didn't give any face.

That being the case, don't blame the students for being ruthless in their questioning.

Kikuchi Dalu continued: "Sir Lu, you and I have the same cultural roots, and students will inevitably have a deep understanding of Sinology, so the questions will be more sharp, and you should bear with them. ”

This is the beginning of vaccination.

Lu Shi has long been accustomed to similar scenes, and those who come do not refuse,

"Of course."

They chatted and had entered the Yude Garden.

There is a natural pond with crystal clear water and many turtles swimming leisurely.

It's just that the supposed quiet environment is full of student exchanges,

"That's Lu Shi? It looks so young......"

"Why did he bring so many guards?"

"The guards were all British...... Hum...... I'm afraid Lu Shi wants to give us a fight. Being able to mobilize the British guards is equivalent to demonstrating his KBE identity. ”

"It's crazy!"

……

The discussion grew louder.

When Kikuchi Dailu peeked at the land,

I thought that Lu Shi would let the guards avoid it for a while, but I didn't expect it to be said at all.

He couldn't help it, and walked up to the podium,

"Quiet!"

For a moment, the moral education garden fell silent.

The students of the Imperial University can indeed do the order and prohibition, it is like an army,

Silence swept through.

Lu Shi found that in the surrounding woods, there were birds singing from time to time.

But their chirping did not add some vitality to the moral education garden, but instead made the silence a little eerie.

Kikuchi Dalu was very proud, and nodded to Lu Shi,

"Sir Lu, please?"

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"No, let's start with Mr. Kikuchi. When I give a lecture at Cambridge, I am usually given a brief introduction by the Principal. ”

Kikuchi Dalu knew that this was a temptation of Lu Shi,

He looked at the students,

"Today, we have invited Professor Lu from London to write "The Nature of Japanese Civilization" and "The Rise of Great Powers: Japan". Students, applause welcome. ”

It happened in an instant, and the applause in the moral education park was thunderous.

Lu Shi glanced at Kikuchi Dalu,

The other party didn't say his identity as KBE, so there is no need to say anything about what he is hiding.

Of course, he didn't care, walked to the podium,

"Thank you, Mr. Kikuchi."

As soon as the words fell, the moral education garden fell silent again.

I have to admit that Lu Shi does have some discomfort,

He is not a professor of science and engineering, so every time he gives a speech or communicates, even if it is quiet below, there will occasionally be students discussing in a whisper.

This is a characteristic of the liberal arts.

But the students of Tokyo Imperial University are different,

They are like tadpoles implanted with the Mind Flayer, controlled by the same mastermind, and they can completely shut up.

Lu Shi groaned,

He then said, "Have you all read The Nature of Japanese Civilization? ”

The answer to him was still silence,

“……”

“……”

“……”

Lu Shi felt like he was lecturing to a pine tree that didn't move.

He asked: "Do you know that the name of "The Nature of Japanese Civilization" is actually taken from Mr. Koizumi Yakumo's book, "Japan and the Japanese," and "The Nature of Japanese Civilization" is the title of the first chapter of the book? ”

As a result, of course, no one spoke.

Not surprisingly,

Lu Shi tidied up his clothes and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you think you know Japan?" ”

Do Japanese people know about Japan?

This question seems to cast a little boy on the spot,

"Bastard! What are you talking about!? ”

"Pretending to be a ghost!"

"I really didn't expect that there would be such arrogant Chinese!"

……

The little boy exploded.

The guards brought by Lu Shi couldn't help but sweat,

And their hearts said,

Sir Lu, can we stop engaging in these violent theories?

This group of students rushed up, and it was impossible for a few people to withstand it.

Lu Shi smiled and said, "What I just said is not my own opinion, but the question raised by Mr. Koizumi Yakumo in "Japan and the Japanese". ”

The people present did not know that Koizumi Yakumo was the majority,

They looked at each other.

However, listening to Lu Shi's "Emperor Dasheng" just now, he knows that Lu Shi knows more or less about Japan, even if it is just a surface.

The students of the Imperial University are so honorifically called,

The name, along with "Imperial University", has been endowed with a strong sense of national honor.

Of course, only a sense of honor is not enough, and the Japanese government also has special regulations on many aspects such as the daily clothing of the emperor, and the preferential treatment is very good.

Someone raised their hand,

"Who is Mr. Koizumi Yakumo?"

Lu Shi said: "Koizumi Yakumo is of mixed race, his father is Irish, and his mother is Greek. He became an orphan at the age of seven, lost his left eye in his left eye because of a fight with his classmates at school, dropped out of school at the age of sixteen and entered society, earning a living at the bottom, and spent most of his life adrift. Later, he went to work in Japan, during which he fell in love with the Japanese customs at first sight, so he became a Japanese citizen in his 40s and changed his name. ”

The students listened and wanted to curse,

Ireland?

Greece?

What is this?

Lu Shi continued, "You may not imagine that the first writer to use the word 'national character' in Japan in published books was Mr. Koizumi Yakumo. ”

These words made the scene a little quieter for a while,

More whispering followed.

Lu Shi said: "However, I don't recommend that you use this as a topic in your paper. Because 'national character' is a general and unified classification, it will basically not achieve good results...... Well, if you were my student and used this to write an essay, I would definitely not give a good grade. ”

national character,

From the end of the 19th century to the end of World War II, Japanese propaganda was this,

Lu Shi's words are blatantly contradictory.

Immediately, someone was dissatisfied: "Professor Lu seems to look down on it?" ”

Lu Shi smiled slyly,

"Didn't I just talk about the dissertation? Everyone must understand that only small incisions, personalized, detailed, and accurate research can get high scores. I'm telling you this, it's not about academics, it's about academics. After all, if you want to graduate and do well in your studies, you have to put it on paper~"

Kikuchi Dalu listened beside him, and secretly scolded Lu Shi for being insidious,

When I talked about "national character" just now, it definitely has nothing to do with the paper!

His speaking strategy was very successful.

The atmosphere of the scene has been completely taken away, and if it goes on like this, not to mention attacking it in groups, the students may be brainwashed.

This kid surnamed Lu,

Cunning!

Great cunning!
