At the beginning of March, the spring is bright and beautiful. In the land south of the Yangtze River, hundreds of flowers are blooming, willows are clinging to them, and everything is flourishing.
Jinling Martial Arts Hall, the first day of school, early morning, first period, history class.
In the large classroom, male students came in one after another. They talked and laughed, waiting for the instructor to arrive. Everyone was excited.
When they first entered the martial arts hall, everyone still retained the curiosity they had when they entered school, and they seemed to be able to endure the ten-mile cross-country run in the morning. If they knew that every day would be such hard training and full of loads, many people might have cried for their parents.
Thirteen female students entered the large classroom one after another. The decent uniforms of the martial arts hall, which made it difficult to distinguish between male and female, and were naturally decorated, added a lot of charm to them and attracted the attention of the male students in the classroom.
This kind of large classroom is specially prepared for public subjects. Hundreds of people from various subjects can be gathered together to save manpower and material resources.
"Old Wei, your sister is here!"
Seeing Wei Sisi coming, Zhen Zhidao, who was sitting near the aisle, laughed at Wei Jinyu and waved to Wei Sisi.
"Sisi, long time no see!"
The Wei and Zhen families were family friends. He had a close relationship with Wei Jinyu and was also familiar with Wei Sisi.
"In the Jinling Martial Arts Hall, please call me classmate Wei Sisi!"
Wei Sisi glanced at Zhen Zhidao coldly, looked serious, raised her head and held her chest high, and passed by with his hands behind his back.
Shi Huiyu smiled slightly and nodded to signal Wei Zhen.
"What happened to Sisi? How could a good girl become like this after entering the martial arts hall for a long time?"
Zhen Zhidao shook his head and glanced at the tall Wu Min who came from behind, his eyes widened in surprise.
"What are you looking at? I'll dig out your eyes!"
Wu Min glared at Zhen Zhidao and said harshly.
"How have I offended you? You are not afraid of the big and the fat..."
Everyone burst into laughter, and Zhenzhidao became a little angry and retorted.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I won't get married?"
Wu Min stopped, turned around, looked Zhenzhidao up and down, and snorted coldly.
"Look at you, you're so skinny and skinny, how did you get into the martial arts school? Did your father give you a gift to the school? Or is the instructor blind?"
"Why am I so unlucky today!"
Wu Min turned around and walked away. Zhen Zhidao said angrily, held his head and buried it in the book.
Wei Jinyu shook his head helplessly. Zhen Zhidao was unlucky today and offended two people he shouldn't have offended. These female students are quite fierce.
Li Siyu was sandwiched between the female students and did not dare to raise her head. When she sat down, she accidentally saw Zhang Zhengsi with a black eye. The two looked at each other, and Li Siyu nodded slightly.
"Third brother, why is she looking at you so lovingly?"
"Yes! Third brother, does she like you?"
Gao Hu and Wang Gui saw it clearly and whispered excitedly.
From the day Li Siyu followed everyone into the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall, they felt that Li Siyu seemed to have a crush on Zhang Zhengsi.
One is mighty and strong, the other is pitiful, the strong man and the weak woman complement each other.
"A toad wants to eat swan meat, but he doesn't care about his status?"
"That's what you are born into. Don't think that entering the Jinling Martial Arts Hall will make you a master. Is there anything so cheap in the world?"
In the back row, several Lin'an dandies with scars on their faces started shouting.
"His Niang, are you looking for a fight?"
Facing the provocative old enemy, Gao Hu became angry.
"What, do you still want to fight? Come on!"
Several Lin'an dudes also stood up one after another, with cold looks on their faces, ready to start a fight at any time.
"sit down!"
Zhang Du, the leader of the dandy and the instigator of the group fight, said coldly.
"Brother Twelve!"
"Brother Twelve, don't be afraid of him!"
Several Lin'an dandies were still unconvinced.
"I told you to sit down! Why, you don't listen to me. Do you want to be kicked out of the martial arts hall?"
Zhang Du's face was serious and he slammed the table. The dandies were unwilling to give in, but they all sat down obediently.
Zhang Du glanced at Zhang Zhengsi with a meaningful look in his eyes and withdrew his gaze.
"Gao Hu, Du San, both sit down!"
Zhang Zhengsi said in a deep voice, and Gao Hu and others sat down angrily.
Class starts right away, and they don't want to make a big deal out of it.
The class bell rang, and the noise of the crowd slowly subsided. Cao Youwen put down the textbook, and the bold words "History" on the cover were eye-catching.
I heard that the history textbook was compiled by the emperor's principal, and I don't know which teacher taught it.
Seeing the young man who came in with a book and a smile on his face, the students were stunned and sat upright involuntarily.
Zhao Hong, the emperor of the Song Dynasty and a famous figure in the country, came to take the history class. This was a rare thing and it really made them excited.
"What, am I not welcome?"
When he got to the podium, Zhao Hong put down his book, smiled kindly, and clapped gently.
The students were stunned for a moment, and then they applauded one after another, and it was extremely lively.
After the applause became sparse, Zhao Hong put away his smile and said loudly.
"Classmates, come to class!"
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his teaching days. In those years, he was full of enthusiasm and tireless.
"General, it's done!"
All the students stood up together, saluted Zhao Hong, and spoke in unison.
"Please sit down!"
Zhao Hong said something loudly, and the students sat upright, putting their hands on their knees and looking at the podium in front of them.
Zhao Hong wrote the word "China" on the blackboard, turned around, and started teaching.
"China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; it has the beauty of uniforms, so it is called Hua. Huaxia is China. In today's first lesson, let's talk about China, which is the territory of the Central Plains dynasty in history. "
Zhao Hong turned around again and wrote the word "nation" on the blackboard.
Whether it is "nationalism" or "patriotism", it is undeniable that the Han people, who are the majority, must take the lead in rising. On the contrary, if the Han nationality with Han as the main body sinks, the nation will inevitably sink, and China will inevitably sink.
"To study the history of a country, one must know its original ethnic group. When a country is first established, one ethnic group is always the main body, and then gradually absorbs other ethnic groups. This is an eternal truth. And the earliest ethnic group in China was established. It is "Han". Some people say that Chinese characters are the name of a dynasty, not the real name of a race, and they advocate changing the name to "Chinese" or "Chinese nation." Little do they know that Chinese characters have been the name of a race for more than 2,000 years."
Zhao Hong said slowly, without opening the book, he still prepared the lesson carefully.
Although the students were knowledgeable, they were still attentive and listened carefully.
For them, the principal's teachings are inspiring and refreshing. Let them know who they are, what a country is, and what a nation is.
"The troops used in the Tang Dynasty, which used both Han soldiers and foreign soldiers, were called "Han and Tibetan infantry and cavalry." This is a clear proof that Han is the name of the race. Since ancient times, emperors have ruled the world, and they have always stayed in China to control the Yi and Di, and the Yi and Di in the outside. Serve China. Now let’s take a look at China, where we live.”
Zhao Hong turned his head and began to draw a rough route map of the Yangtze River on the blackboard.
"This is the Yangtze River, also known as the Great River. It originates from the Snowy Mountains on the Tubo Plateau in the northwest. It twists and turns eastward, passing through Tubo, Sichuan, Chongqing, Jinghu, Jiangxi, Jiangnan and other places, and flows eastward into the sea. It is thousands of miles long. It is our The longest river in China. It is also one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization."
Zhao Hong turned around, drew a crooked word "ji" on the top, and then continued his speech.
"This is the Yellow River, about ten thousand miles long. It is the second longest river in China and the birthplace of Chinese civilization. The Yellow River also originates from the Tubo Plateau and is shaped like a "ji". It flows from west to east through Tubo, Xixia, Mongolian grasslands, Shaanxi, Hedong, Henan and Huainan, and finally flows into the East China Sea.”
Zhao Hong turned his head again and began to add rivers and mountains to the picture. Slowly, a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains was displayed in front of everyone.
All the students opened their eyes wide and watched carefully. The principal doesn't need textbooks, he picks them up at his fingertips, and his erudition is impressive.
"About seven thousand years ago, Chinese civilization originated in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and Yangtze River. About five thousand years ago, mature Chinese civilization was formed in the Central Plains. The banks of the Yellow River are easy to cultivate, have a suitable climate, and have sufficient precipitation, which gave birth to the Chinese civilization Civilization. The Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, China has been based on the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and has flourished around it. All of you should be proud of being the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties and the long-standing, extensive and profound Chinese civilization. Be proud of it.”
Zhao Hong pointed to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, explaining with reluctance.
"The shame of Jingkang, when the Song Dynasty crossed south, Song general Du Chong guarded Damingfu in Hebei Province. It was here. In order to prevent the Jin army from going south, Du Chong opened the embankment of the Yellow River, and countless people along the river drowned. The Yellow River then took the Huai River and entered the sea. , the floods are endless, the people are in dire straits, and the plague is spreading.”
Zhao Hong looked at the students who were listening carefully and his face became serious.
"The old course of the Yellow River flows through Shandong and flows into the sea. Because the terrain is high in the north and south, Duchong broke through the Yellow River, and the Yellow River took the Huai River and entered the sea. Because the south is high and the north is low, the Yellow River continues to overflow, from Henan to the Huaihe River, and the people on both sides of the river suffer serious consequences."
Duchong cut off the Yellow River, which is a famous change in history. The Yellow River changed its course from the north to the Bohai Sea and to the south to the Yellow Sea. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty and 1855, the Yellow River basically swung in the south, causing endless harm. It was not until Pan Jixun regulated the river in the late Ming Dynasty that the Yellow River was basically fixed along the line from Kaifeng to Xuzhou and Huaiyin. It was called the old road of the Ming and Qing Dynasties and lasted for 300 years.
He paused, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"You think, this thief Du Chong has killed so many Han people and caused endless harm, should he die?"
Du Chong did not dare to fight against the Jin army and ordered the Yellow River embankment to be opened to divert the Yellow River water from Si River to Huaihe River. Instead of stopping the Jin army, more than 200,000 people were drowned, and the number of deaths caused by displacement and plague was several times higher. Here it is. The most prosperous and prosperous Lianghuai region in the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, and nearly 10 million people became homeless and became refugees.
What's ridiculous is that Du Chong's move led to his promotion step by step, and he was worshiped as the right prime minister by the Song Dynasty. Later, he was stationed in Jiankang as the Jianghuai Xuanfu envoy.
It was this kind of thing who finally surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin and died a good death. It’s true that good people don’t live long, but traitors live longer.
"This thief deserves to die!"
There was silence below, and female student Shi Huiyu shouted out with a blushing face.
"Du Chong's destruction of the Yellow River has caused endless harm. He is China's eternal sinner. He deserves to die and will be infamous for thousands of years!"
Another student shouted loudly.
"Principal, can the Yellow River change its course and flow back to the East China Sea?"
Some students raised their hands and asked.
"Then it's on you!"
Zhao Hong looked at the confused students and smiled slightly.
"Changing the course of the Yellow River will benefit the country and the people, and it will last forever. However, Shandong and Hebei are inhabited by Tatars, and Henan is under the rule of the Jin people. Even if I want to do this major thing that will benefit the country and the people, I have to wait for you to recover. After the Central Plains."
"Principal, I will definitely do it!"
"Principal, I will definitely restore the Central Plains!"
The students were very excited and shouted.
Obviously, Zhao Hong's words made many of them blush and their blood boil.
We fought hard and made great achievements; we restored our homeland and changed the course of the Yellow River; we served the country and the people and left a name in history...
Isn't this the original intention of them to overcome all difficulties and apply for the Jinling Martial Arts Hall?
