Chapter 668 This Daming Is A Little Complicated (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)
"This is Daming!"

Sitting on the tram, Tang Shaoyi looked at the city outside the window from time to time. He has been in Daming for half a year, and his favorite thing is to go shopping on the tram. In the past six months, he has visited various places in Nanhua. corner, but he still couldn't get enough of the city.

In fact, most of the international students who came here at the same time as him are like this. From the shock and surprise when they first came here, what is it now?

Why are they all Chinese, yet this place is so rich?

Why are they all Chinese, but here...

It is quite normal for Tang Shaoyi and others to have such thoughts in their hearts. After all, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are two completely different worlds. Compared with the foreign students from Japan, what Tang Shaoyi and the others felt was more shocking than shock. But it is reflection.

Why do you reflect?
Because they are also Chinese people!

Since they are also Chinese, why can Daming do this?But the Qing Dynasty can't?
On the one hand, there is poverty everywhere, and on the other hand, there is universal wealth.

One is backward and the other is developed.

One side is ignorance, the other side is civilization.

On the one hand, it is trying to squeeze the people, and on the other hand, it is very kind to the people.

On the one hand, the common people live and work in peace and contentment, on the other hand, the common people live and work in poverty.

It is hard to imagine the impact of such a stark contrast on foreign students like Tang Shaoyi.Tang Shaoyi and the others felt heavy in their hearts when the Japanese students there said they must call the "Heavenly Dynasty".

They are from the Celestial Dynasty, but the Celestial Dynasty in the Japanese population is not the Qing Dynasty, but here, it is the Ming Dynasty.

When the Japanese students were once again conquered by the Chinese civilization, Tang Shaoyi and the others were making comparisons in their hearts.

Most of the other international students also have the same thoughts and comparisons, but most of them are rhetorical questions.

Asking rhetorically, asking again and again, what kind of thoughts will rise in their hearts?

No one knows, but Tang Shaoyi knows the answer, just like the "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou" he saw in the dormitory of his senior Zhan Tianyou. The "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou" was brought back to Ming Dynasty by businessmen from Japan. In the Qing Dynasty, the book was banned and destroyed long ago.

In Japan, there are many works by the adherents of the late Ming Dynasty, which record many cruel atrocities committed by the Manchus, from "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou" to "Jiading Massacre Chronicle", from "Zhu Shun Water Collection" to "Zhang Cang Water Collection". In addition, some chapters were also compiled into the textbooks of Ming Dynasty.But after reading it, all readers feel resentment towards the Qing Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts, and anger and hostility accumulate in everyone's hearts little by little.

"The rippling Wucheng drama is lovely, and millions of people are turned into ashes. The strange injustice will not be disliked in ten days, and the eighth generation is here today..."

Silently reading this poem in "Yangzhou Ten Diary Drawings", Tang Shaoyi looked at Daming outside the window, and while feeling more friendly, his heart also deepened his hostility towards the Qing Dynasty.

In the past three and a half years, as many as [-] foreign students like Tang Shaoyi have come to Daming. They are studying in universities and colleges in Linhai, Nanhua, Nanyuan, and Yingtian. At the same time, it is changing little by little.

Just like the world has changed, many people's life trajectories have also changed inadvertently.

There was a sudden light outside, and the classroom was instantly covered in white, and then the room fell into darkness again. After a few seconds, a thunderbolt shook the window panes, and raindrops fell from the sky amidst crackling sounds.

"..."

What is the teacher saying?
Zhan Tianyou was a little distracted, but at the age of fourteen, he had just passed the high school academic ability test, and he was studying in the preparatory school. Like the foreign students at the same time, he was working hard towards a school - Nanhua University.

All of them know what it means to be admitted to Nanhua University.

After being admitted to Nanhua University and graduating from their studies, their future is visible to the naked eye.

Glory to ancestors, that is for sure. After all, Governor Li’s factories and railways are in need of talents everywhere. After they return to China, they will definitely be reused. Maybe it will only take a few years to get official status. It couldn't be more natural.

Even if you don't go back to China and stay with Daming, you can easily find a job with a monthly salary of several hundred yuan.

In a word, as long as they enter Nanhua University, their lives are full of countless possibilities.

This is the dream of many people. Now, in this preparatory class, almost everyone has this dream. What are they thinking?
Nanhua University!

As long as they enter Nanhua University, they will be able to learn the world's first-class knowledge. After returning to the Qing Dynasty, they will not only become famous, but also become the founders of a certain academic field. Like the first batch of international students in China, didn’t they all become experts in their respective academic fields?

Once upon a time, Zhan Tianyou had the same idea as them, and he also hoped that one day, he could return home after finishing his studies.

But now?
Another thought kept flashing in his mind.

This idea is dangerous, and it shouldn't even be thought about, but he couldn't help it, just like when he saw the "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou", he had roared, cursed, and then burst into tears.

For a fourteen-year-old boy, in those days, as soon as he closed his eyes, he would dream of the tragedy of Yangzhou. In his sleep, he saw the atrocities in the book and saw the murdered compatriots.

Yes, those people are not only the ancestors of China, but also his compatriots.

Fellow!

This is a noun that Zhan Tianyou learned after he arrived in Daming. The word compatriot comes from "compatriots of the same mother". In Daming, compatriots also refer to people of the same nationality, and people of the same language and culture. In Daming, no one It will say, you are from Cantonese, he is from Shandong, he is from Fujian, he is from Henan. In Daming, there is no such geographical difference. In Daming, there is only one—all of us are Chinese compatriots!

We are all Han Chinese!

We speak the same language, we shed the same blood, we inherit the same culture, we have the same history... We are compatriots, no difference from compatriots of the same mother, we all have a common mother - Huaxia !
In fact, as early as the Nanhua period, Emperor Zhu played down the regional views of "compatriots" by teaching Mandarin and disrupting the origins of immigrants, and at the same time strengthened the national view of "Chinese compatriots" through official propaganda.

The same ancestors, the same culture, the same language, and the same nationality, in the end, all of these constituted the Ming Dynasty's view of the nation, and all of these inevitably affected foreign students like Zhan Tianyou and the others, and even Mr. Li, He was also affected. As the son of an important minister in the court, he was extremely loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but what about now?There was already a question mark, not even a question mark, he just kept everything in his heart.

Zhan Tianyou and the others don't have a high-ranking father like Mr. Li. Their emotions are more direct. These teenagers, their thoughts are most easily influenced by the outside world. Besides, in the past few years, they have been studying In Daming's preparatory school, they received the same education as Daming's students.

Of course they also learned about history.Unlike the falsified and distorted history they learned in the past, what they have come into contact with is the real history.

That is a sad, heartbreaking history!But how could it be possible for ordinary people not to be touched?
"God Bless, have you made up your mind? What school do you apply for?"

That night, in the apartment where the Qing Dynasty students lived, Liang Dunyan looked at his junior and asked with concern.

"Your grades are so good, you'd better go to Nanhua University."

Facing Liang Dunyan's suggestion, Zhan Tianyou thought for a while and replied.

"I've already made up my mind to apply for the military academy!"

When he said these words, Zhan Tianyou suddenly felt much lighter.Before that, he had been thinking about this issue.

Apply for military school.

Of course, some of them will go to the military academy.But Zhan Tianyou's purpose was different from others.

Why apply for military school?

He knew the answer very well in his heart, and it was precisely because he was clear that he hesitated for so long.

Finally at this moment he made a choice.
