Chapter 254 Chen Yinke, Professor of Peking University

Peking University.

In the university lecture hall at this time, countless young students sat in their seats with great excitement.

Almost everyone looked at the direction of the podium with great interest.

The era of the Republic of China also belonged to the era in which various masters were born in large numbers.

Liang Qichao, Wang Guowei, Zhao Yuanren, Cai Yuanpei, Qian Mu, etc. are all famous masters of Chinese studies during the Republic of China, and they all have a lofty status in the hearts of the students.

But as it is now, among so many favored sons of heaven, there are definitely not many who can have such a strong appeal.

Because it is not only knowledgeable, but also lively and interesting enough when lecturing.

Otherwise, no matter how knowledgeable the professor is, the content of his lectures will definitely not attract many people.

And the person who is giving a lecture in the lecture hall today happens to have both, and he is the very famous professor of Jingbei University——Professor Chen Yinke.

Professor Chen Yinke, who was born near Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi Province, studied abroad in various countries in Wuzhou in his early years.

He has studied in different famous universities in Ouzhou, but Professor Chen Yinke has never obtained a master's degree or above.

It's not that he can't, but that he doesn't want to spend too much time immersing himself in a subject.

If others say this, Zhang Zongqing will naturally think that he is just bragging, but Professor Chen Yinke is different.

Because he has this strength, for example, the seats that are full at this time are proof.

When Zhang Zongqing was still studying at Huaqing University.

My favorite class is to sneak to Jingbei University, pretend to be a student of Jingbei University, and come to the history class taught by Professor Chen Yinke.

For this reason, Zhang Zongqing always knew Professor Chen Yinke's class schedule in advance every time before coming to listen to the lecture.

It was the same this time. As soon as he arrived at Jingbei University, Zhang Zongqing took Ma Yu's hand and came to Professor Chen Yinke's class.

As soon as Zhang Zongqing and Ma Yu took their seats, they saw a noble professor outside the classroom, walking slowly to the center of the podium.

Unlike other professors who have already prepared thick lesson plans, Professor Chen Yinke, who has an almost photographic memory, never brings lesson plans to the stage to give lectures.

However, Professor Chen Yinke does have this proud capital and talent.

Professor Chen Yinke knocked on the desk a few times with his fingers, and the whole lecture hall immediately fell silent.

"Today we will talk about the history of the Ming Dynasty, the history of the Ming Dynasty from Emperor Jiajing to Emperor Wanli."

"However, unlike those professors who talk nonsense, I, Chen Yinke, have always been told by the predecessors, and I will not talk about it."

"I don't talk about what my neighbors have said."

"I don't talk about what foreigners have said."

"I've said it myself in the past, and I won't say it."

"I'm only saying now what no one else has said before."

"So, it's your luck to be able to come to the class of Jingbei University and hear my lecture, and of course it's also my luck, Chen Yinke!"

Professor Chen Yinke's voice was as proud as ever. He stood on the podium and glanced at the crowd, and nodded arrogantly.

Afterwards, Professor Chen Yinke began to use his own insights to explain a period of history of the Ming Dynasty.

The history from Emperor Jiajing to Emperor Wanli became interesting and vivid under Professor Chen Yinke's narration.

Even those who don't like boring history the most are attracted by Professor Chen Yinke's teaching.

After all, during the period from Emperor Jiajing to Emperor Wanli, it can be said that there were many famous figures.

And those who read this period of history mostly want to see the demeanor of these famous ministers of Ming Dynasty.

After Emperor Jiajing, the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty reached its peak.

At that time, scholars also had the goal and ideal of becoming an official through stereotyped essays, and finally being able to ascend to the cabinet and rule the world.

Like Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and other powerful chief assistants of the Ming Dynasty, no matter they are loyal or treacherous, they have dominated the situation of an era.

Under Professor Chen Yinke's description, these characters also become extraordinarily vivid and interesting.

But let's talk about the three great martial arts of the Ming Dynasty in the later period of Emperor Wanli.

Professor Chen Yinke, who has always been very cold and arrogant, sighed hard, as if he was regretting something.

After the history of the Three Great Marches of the Ming Dynasty was finished, Professor Chen Yinke also felt a sense of disenchantment.

I saw Professor Chen Yinke flicking his sleeves, but he didn't plan to go any further.

"Students, this class ends here first!"

"Although I know that you will still come to listen to the next class, but considering the need to take care of the face of other university professors who are not liked by students, I still have to repeat it to my classmates."

"I hope all the students can come to my class!"

Professor Chen Yinke is as proud as ever.

It is said that literati are less important to each other, and this is more obvious in Professor Chen Yinke.

This kind of arrogant to conceited character is very easy to offend people.

But for a master like Professor Chen Yinke, it is more like a personality.

Professor Chen Yinke probably doesn't care what other professors think of him. He has been doing his own way for ten years.

However, such a literati is a bit more arrogant than others.

It's not time to finish class right now, but Professor Chen Yinke is doing it capriciously.

He doesn't care whether the get out of class is over or not, as long as he speaks comfortably.

If this is placed in later generations, it will definitely be sprayed to death.

But in this era, this is the demeanor and style of literati.

And in the eyes of many people, this is the personality that only masters have.

But just as Professor Chen Yinke was about to turn around and leave, a student suddenly stood up.

"Professor Chen, will you still teach Ming history in the next class?"

"We all like this strong dynasty very much. No marriage, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the emperor guards the gate, and the king dies."

"This is the real Daming in our hearts!"

"It's not the Ming Dynasty that cultivated immortals and carpenter emperors as the Qing court said!"

A male student wearing a student costume from the Republic of China stood up suddenly, and he looked at Professor Chen Yinke and asked.

He is obviously a "fan" of Professor Chen Yinke, so after the wayward Professor Chen Yinke gave a willful lecture, he still insisted on listening to the next class.

This level of "fans" should be regarded as hardcore loyal fans.

This is a bit like a good reader in later generations who "doesn't change his mind" even when the author of the web article has no reason to update or seldom update.

But Professor Chen Yinke is obviously going to hurt the heart of this good "reader", "Student, I will not talk about the history of the Ming Dynasty after the Three Great Wanli Expeditions."

"In the next class, I will talk about how Bismarck, the iron-blooded prime minister of country D, played around with the entire continent of Wuzhou and unified the entire history of country D."

Professor Chen Yinke did not hesitate at all, he decisively rejected the student's request.

"Why, Professor Chen, we all like to listen to your Ming history!"

"The history of the Ming Dynasty you talked about is the real history of the Ming Dynasty in our minds, not the history that has been tampered with by the Qing court."

"Professor Chen, the history of the Ming Dynasty you tell is different from other people's. It can also let us know the real Ming Dynasty, not just the history of the Ming Dynasty that was castrated by the previous dynasty."

When the students heard that Professor Chen didn't want to talk about the history of the Ming Dynasty, they were also a little anxious.

Even Ma Yu looked at Professor Chen Yinke in confusion. She didn't understand why Professor Chen Yinke suddenly stopped talking about the Three Great Wanli Signs.

Zhang Zongqing patted Ma Yu's hand, and it is rare that Ma Yu, who is not very interested in history, will be as interested in the next period of history as the readers who follow the update.

Zhang Zongqing suddenly stood up, and he looked in the direction of Professor Chen Yinke.

"Because the death of the Ming Dynasty actually died in Wanli, and the decline of China also started from Wanli."

"From the beginning of the Three Great Marches of Wanli, Ming's internal and external troubles broke out completely. Internally, the common people could not survive, and externally they could not resist the invasion of Jurchen. They could only sit back and watch the Jurchen continue to grow."

Zhang Zongqing shook his head, seemingly regretful, but also with a bit of pain.

"The scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty were open-minded. If it weren't for these internal and external troubles, Huaguo would have been able to integrate with the world early."

"Without the Qing government's 200 years of oppression of thought, Huaguo has already become a first-class power in the world."

Chapter 255 The death of Ming Dynasty actually died in Wanli!

Everyone looked at Zhang Zongqing one after another, they were completely shocked by Zhang Zongqing's words.

However, those who understand this period of history think carefully and find that the person who stood up was right.

The three major campaigns of the Wanli emperor almost exhausted the last sliver of vitality of the Ming Dynasty, so the assertion that "the death of the Ming Dynasty actually died in Wanli" can be described as brilliant.

It is also a unique point of view and perspective.

Graduate students of history, even doctoral students, looked at Zhang Zongqing in amazement.

Even with their professional knowledge, when they heard Zhang Zongqing's words, they felt as if a lightning flashed across their minds.

Before that, they studied the growing strength of the Jurchen tribe, the civil uprisings caused by natural and man-made disasters in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and the suspicion, lack of talent and ambition of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

But it seems that no one has ever moved their eyes forward. During the Wanli period, they discovered that the Ming Dynasty was gradually coming to an end.

The phrase "The death of the Ming Dynasty, actually died in Wanli" is a widely accepted view in the later generations of information explosion.

But in this era, Zhang Zongqing's words are enough to set off a stormy sea.

Whether it is a student who specializes in history or a student who has a preference for the history of the Ming Dynasty, they all agree with Zhang Zongqing's view that "the death of the Ming Dynasty actually died in Wanli".

Zhang Zongqing's ordinary sentence had a huge impact on their thinking about researching history.

At this time, Professor Chen Yinke also looked at Zhang Zongqing in shock. He didn't expect that someone would guess his true thoughts.

As Zhang Zongqing said, the reason why Professor Chen Yinke is unwilling to talk about this period of history.

It is because this period of history is the same as the five chaos in China, and it belongs to the darkest moment of Chinese civilization.

Although Professor Chen Yinke did not say the words "the death of the Ming Dynasty, it actually died in Wanli" like Zhang Zongqing.

But in fact, his views are not much different from those of Zhang Zongqing.

Even a professor like Chen Yinke is unwilling to look back on this not-so-good history.

……

In the middle and late period of the Ming Dynasty in Huaguo, many people of insight had already realized the long-standing abuses in the imperial court, such as Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were one of them.

But even characters like Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng couldn't change the direction of the entire Ming Dynasty.

And Emperor Wanli, who thought he was very smart, also missed the opportunity of the Ming Dynasty to rejuvenate, and completely played the Ming Dynasty.

"However, Professor Chen, there is a saying in ancient times: A husband can use copper as a mirror to straighten his clothes; use the ancients as a mirror to know success and failure; use people as a mirror to understand gains and losses."

"Hiding up on the painful history, how can future generations stop repeating the wrong path?"

"If future generations don't know that the same scene happened in history, how can they avoid such mistakes as much as possible?"

Zhang Zongqing's extremely energetic eyes stared closely at Professor Chen Yinke.

For some reason, Professor Chen Yinke suddenly felt that the person in front of him seemed extremely familiar.

But exactly where he is familiar with, Professor Chen Yinke is a little hard to say.

Still a student who pays attention to current affairs, he stood up in astonishment, and he looked at Zhang Zongqing and said something.

"Are you the second son?"

As soon as this remark came out, a large group of students stood up, and they all stared in the direction of Zhang Zongqing in dumbfounded.

No one thought that the second son Zhang Zongqing, who was famous in Huaxia, would appear here.
