I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

How high can the upper limit be for a country governed by engineers?

After understanding this point, Bismarck became more enthusiastic about promoting Pumin's alliance.

19 bowls of noodles + 2 braised eggs are not free.

At the dinner table, Zhu Fugui also negotiated with Bismarck about several preliminary intentions.

First, the Royal Garment Factory of the Ming Dynasty rushed to produce a batch of samples of Prussian military uniforms, which Bismarck brought back to Berlin for King William I to view.

Second, Bismarck directly made the decision and signed the "Ming-Prussian Consensus on Educational Theory".

Speaking of education, in Europe today, the Prussian education model can be described as a negative example of the wind and smell.

On the issue of education, Bismarck was pleasantly surprised to find a bosom friend in the far east, or America.

Starting from Frederick the Great, Prussia began to implement compulsory education.

That is, the king used state taxes, rather than tuition fees charged to students, to promote basic education for the common people.

Enter the classroom at [-] o'clock in the morning. Each class has a unified duration, unified teaching materials, unified curriculum, and uniform school uniform. In class, hands are behind the back, sit upright, and answer questions first. Unified school age system, unified examination, unified punishment and reward.

All in all, it is the essence of the Prussian education system to give every child a compulsory basic education in the way of processing mechanical parts.

And the ultimate purpose of this system is: "to create an empire of people trained to obey the government, to fear God, to be industrious, and to be thrifty."

Such an approach has naturally been criticized like a wave.

British liberal scholars say: "The main design flaw of the Prussian system is the coherence-interference problem, which stems from the fact that the same knowledge may affect different students differently. One child may add to the coherence of the body of knowledge. Another The child will suffer from intellectual distractions. Thus, the Prussian model notoriously violates the fundamental law of learning, which holds that learning must be autonomous and joyful."

Prussian poets (public) people (knowledge) said: "Prussia has craftsmen, priests, thinkers, masters and servants, young and old, but there is no real person. We must first be a person, and then To be a Prussian."

Even Beethoven thought: "The Germans are simply a group of backward people. They disrupted the historical process of European culture. When Napoleon tried to liberate us, the Germans even resisted."

However, Beethoven undoubtedly forgot that at the age of 8, he learned the basic theory of music and the organ from the old palace organist H. Eden, and performed on stage for the first time in the same year. Professional education.

Chapter 429 The Second Mingpu Alliance

Standing on the hills of history overlooking this era, Zhu Fugui is of course firmly on the side of the small town as a writer.

Whether it is the Prussian-German nation that soars into the sky a few years later and stirs up the whole world, or the Chinese nation that has endured for 40 years and is finally trying to see nothing, and sprints towards the throne of the national palace, their rise all depends on doing problems. They are a brutal force!

Even the American emperors of later generations are nothing more than the utopian prosperity held up by certain Chinese and Indian writers who were attracted by dog ​​food and kept in captivity.

If there were no problem-writers from China, India, Japan, and South Korea (or because Musk singled out South Africa?), where would there be room for Europeans and Americans to happily study art, philosophy, and pursue a colorful life?

Therefore, from the very beginning, the education system of Ming Dynasty followed the indisputable path of compulsory education, and there was absolutely no living soil for happy education.

Real quality education is by no means happy education.

Education is necessarily unhappy because education itself goes against human nature.

If you obey human nature and obey happiness, then except for a few alien beasts who are born to love learning and I learn my happiness, most ordinary people will only fall into the abyss in the end.

Even if you want to become an abandoned house that you can lie down with peace of mind, you actually have to go through systematic learning, understand the laws of the world, and even know how to manage yourself. It is by no means a dung-making machine taught by happy education in some countries, plus criminal offenses. Manufacturing machines are comparable.

Based on the special mechanism of the system, Zhu Fugui certainly attaches great importance to the cultivation of culture and art.

I visited Maori Jingqin’s elementary school before, and found that his handicraft teacher was “sick”, organized a multi-departmental investigation, and clarified the red line that physical education must not be encroached on in the entire education system, and encouraged art education.

However, because the family's economic level has a great influence on children's art and music performance, art cannot be included in the national examination syllabus.

Art majors are also required to take the Common Entrance Examination.

As for whether it will have a negative impact on the rise of Ming culture, Zhu Fugui thinks there must be.

There are bound to be certain artistic prodigies who are sifted through the great filter of elementary education.

However, it must be noted that in this era, traditional music and painting are actually in decline, and are no longer the mainstream in the field of cultural struggle.

Newspapers, magazines, radio and other new media are the main battlefields of cultural struggle.

Not to mention, the film industry, a rising star that is bound to sweep everything.

To engage in these industries, the accumulation of basic cultural courses is essential.

Anyway, Zhu Fugui never hoped that one day in the future, there would be a chaotic phenomenon in the literary and art circles in his country where a woman who can solve a quadratic equation in one yuan is considered a talented woman, and who can write an obituary and write "National Peerless".

All in all, from ideology to practice, what Zhu Fugui practiced in Daming is actually the compulsory education for later generations evolved from the "Prussian system".

But in terms of rhetoric, Zhu Fugui naturally wouldn't say that with Bismarck and his party.

Instead, he called the current education system of Ming Dynasty "the natural continuation and re-innovation of traditional Chinese education".

As the country that invented the imperial examination system, or the civil service examination and selection system, Zhu Fugui claimed that there is nothing wrong with the current system of Ming Dynasty being derived from ancient Chinese sages.

Not to mention that there is no problem at all, even Bismarck said that the Prussian education model did refer to the description of the Chinese system by Voltaire and others.

Therefore, the two major countries of the East and the West have reached a consensus that the "Ming-Prussian education system" is a set of education models with ancient inheritance, but the two places have different origins but coincide with each other. It is inclusive and liberates productivity. .

In addition to reaching a consensus and supporting each other on the battlefield of international public opinion, Zhu Fugui also took the opportunity to propose that the Department of History of the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty and the team of Professor Heinrich von Siebel of the University of Bonn edit "The History of the First World War" of the first World War).

The "First World War" here naturally does not refer to the world war that deposed William's brother's grandson from the throne decades later.

In fact, in the eyes of many people, the so-called "World War I" and "World War II" in later generations were basically a war, but there was a 20-year truce period in between.

The French must be ecstatic. After all, Paris has held on for more than 20 years before raising the white flag.

Of course, this statement is somewhat Eurocentric.

After all, for China, the difference between the two wars is enormous.

But in any case, the underlying logic of the two world wars was the expansion and demise of emerging imperialism.

Zhu Fugui believes that the war that took place in 1914 was not World War I at all.

Because the real First World War has already happened, and it has affected far more regions, populations, nations, and countries than the so-called "First World War".

And Zhu Fugui's grandfather, Comrade Zhu Baba, and his maternal grandfather Chen Gong were the witnesses of this war.

That's right, the real World War I should have been the expansion and demise of the Mongol-Yuan Empire, a war that took place at both ends of the world island at the same time.

Except because it did not spread to the New World, the war in Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty deserves to be a world war in all dimensions.

Grassland nomads, Confucian civilization circles, Muslim civilization circles, Christian civilization circles, and Indian civilization circles were all affected by this tsunami.

Coincidentally, the Song-Ming Empire, the Teutonic Knights-Kingdom of Prussia, are just one east and one west, an important force against the Mongols' iron heels.

Of course, the two are not the same when they are said to be "important", and Teutonic is not worthy of even Tuo Song's shoes.

But at least in theory, find the historical heritage of the Mingpu alliance.

Therefore, this alliance between Ming and Prussia can be called the second Ming-Prussian alliance in history.

Zhu Fugui proposed to compile history with the Prussians, mainly to clarify the specific location where the Mongols arrived in Europe, and to write the great story of Diaoyu City into the Prussian history textbook.

Even if it's just a small supplementary column.

The guards of Diaoyu City Wang Jian, Wang Li and all the soldiers and civilians defended the city for 53 years. During this period, they killed the Mongolian Khan Mengge. It was not until the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty and Kublai Khan promised not to hurt any people that he abandoned the city and surrendered. None of the officers begged for mercy, and all drew their swords and killed themselves.

Emperor Zhu Fugui personally inscribed the postscript "Eternal Loyalty First" (from [Yushi Culture Studio custom brush calligraphy, handwritten calligraphy and painting authentic works office inscription hanging painting living room running script calligraphy and painting works framed]), when the restoration of Bashu, the temple is ready to be rebuilt and hung Go up to express the respect of the Ming royal family for the 36 heroes.

In addition to the deeds of loyalty and bravery, Diaoyu City has another special meaning.

In Diaoyu City, Wang Jian killed Mengge Khan, leading to the end of Mongolia's third Western Expedition. All Mongolian armies rushed back to the grasslands to compete for the Khan's position. Europe and Muslim civilization finally gained an inch of life under the Mongolian iron cavalry.

Some people in later generations said that Europeans called Diaoyu City "the place where God broke the whip", and Musi L called Diaoyu City "Oriental Mecca".

Zhu Fugui didn't know how these claims came about.

At least he has never heard of pilgrims from Europe or West Asia coming to pay homage to these 36 Chinese saints.

Even Zhu Fugui interrogated many white slaves, whether they were missionaries or college students, they had never heard of the "Diaoyu City" story.

Therefore, the titles of "God's Whiplashing Place" and "Oriental Mecca" are most likely to be given by the people of later generations out of comfort, or they are the titles that people like Needham rated as unpopular. It's a compliment.

But this time, Zhu Fugui was serious.

Whether it is self-proclaimed or complimented by others, Zhu Fugui is determined to make it a reality.

Writing the deeds of Diaoyu City into Prussian history textbooks is only the first step, but it is also a very crucial step.

In order to achieve this goal, Zhu Fugui also had to make some small concessions in other areas.

Moreover, Daming had no choice but to turn a blind eye to the content about the Teutonic Knights in the Prussian version of the textbook.

After all, the Prussians agree with the "World War I" statement, and the biggest motivation to actively participate in the revision of history is naturally to give money to their ancestors and add points to their orthodoxy.

Although the ghost knows how orthodox the inheritance between Teutonic, Hindenburg, and Prussia is, Bismarck and the accompanying Junker officers seem to be very interested in it, and even have "why didn't I think of it earlier?" "Sentiments.

"but……"

While signing himself Daming, Bismarck asked with some doubts, "I understand the truth, but His Majesty the Emperor, why is this world war called 'World War I'?"

Chapter 430 Presenting a National Gift

After the dinner, Bismarck presented a tribute to the Emperor of Heaven.

Well, at least the "Da Ming Times" publicizes this way internally, to the Governor of Wa Island, and to Nanyang and other places.

Of course, this is actually an exchange of national gifts, which is a normal diplomatic etiquette.

On behalf of William I, Bismarck presented Zhu Fugui with a gem-studded Teutonic knight's sword.

"This is a cross sword from the 16th century. It is 2 meters long. Even a warrior with a tall arm and a long arm must use both hands to swing it... Oh, my God!"

The accompanying Prussian military officer, an old-school Junker aristocrat, introduced this gorgeously decorated long sword with countless treasures, but at some point, the old eunuch Li who was standing behind Zhu Fugui suddenly reached out to take it, and then used the movement of Duncan to flatten the windmill Swing up.

Legend has it that you need to hold a sword with both hands, and you have to master the waist-horse technique to control the cross-shaped long sword. In the hands of Lao Li, it is like Dong Taishi playing with a seven-star knife. An Lushan scratches it with ease and freehand.

"Lao Li, put down the gift, don't be playful!"

Zhu Fugui scolded Lao Li for a few words, then turned his head and asked apologetically, "Your Excellency, Viscount, I didn't hear what you said just now that you were using your hands hard."

The Prussian military officer swallowed, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "It's nothing, it's nothing, as long as you like it, Your Majesty..."

Zhu Fugui really liked this sword, it looked very festive.

Traditionally speaking, Chinese people are not used to displaying murder weapons at home, but I am far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties, so it is normal to put some swords.

It's just that this western sword is somewhat meaningless, so Zhu Fugui decided to let Lao Li throw it into the attic to eat ashes.

The star-catching platform is more than 90 meters away. It's a pity that there are no piles of things in the attic!

This kind of 16th century old sword is put up for auction on the platform, and it must be a lot of income.

However, Zhu Fugui is not short of money for the time being, so he is saving it first, and when he has received enough gifts, he will open a museum and display the gifts given to him by the heads of state.

At that time, it will be clear at a glance who is a swindler and who is an old friend of the Chinese people.

After getting a big and flashy sword, Zhu Fugui would naturally return the gift.

As the emperor of China, Zhu Fugui has always been very generous in rewarding the barbarians.

First of all, for those who saw it, a set of exquisite tableware carved with tin, lead and aluminum alloy was given to the visiting Junkers, which was full of atmosphere and made people dream of returning to Rome.

He also gave Bismarck a picture of "Tiger Roaring Mountains and Forests" bought from Taobao for 50 yuan to promote Chinese traditional culture.

This brought everyone's perception of Daming to a new level.

Whether it is the Junkers who got expensive tableware, or the Bismarck who got Mobao, they are very fond of gifts.

Bismarck, in particular, marveled at the imaginative expressive tension of traditional Chinese art, which was more attractive than the collections of the Austrian Academy of Fine Arts.

In addition, as the host, Zhu Fugui also prepared a serious and good thing for Brother William.

An original Bliss 1 camera.

The Ming-made cameras currently available in the Prussian market are actually imitations of the Ming Dynasty. The prototype is the "Happiness Model 1956" produced by the state-owned Tianjin Camera Factory established on April 4, 18 in New China.

The "Happiness Type 1" was imitated by Liu Donglin, then director of the factory, based on the German JUWEL camera.

As a result, the transfer of export to domestic sales across time and space was staged in Prussia.

However, it is like the armored forces of the Ming Army, especially the engines used for tanks and other combat vehicles are all imported from later generations, while the engines used in civilian products such as Rising Sun cars and Su Shifu brand agricultural machinery are all developed or imitated by Ming. the same.

The cameras used by Daming’s own royal media soldiers, military scouts, secret agents, etc. were all imported from later generations.

And those sold to the private sector and exported to earn foreign exchange are all cameras produced by Daming itself.

The reliability, imaging, and precision of the two are not the same.

The reason why Zhu Fugui wanted to give Brother William a camera this time was because Zhu Fugui knew that Brother William was an extremely boring person.

Can a guy who insists on being crowned at the Palace of Versailles in Paris and pretending to be himself with Germany's century-old fortune, not to be coquettish?
