Sun Yuanqi said quickly: "I have admired Baili for a long time. Mr. Ren can help the school introduce such talents. Sun is too late to thank him. How can he have any objections?"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Joke! In later generations, Jiang Baili was dubbed "Military God", "Unparalleled National Scholar", "Master of Strategic Strategy of the Republic of China", "Father of Modern Military Science" and other titles. Even if there is some praise and praise in it, it shows that he still has a lot of skills. Brush, otherwise the soap bubbles would have been blown countless times. It would be great if Liang Qichao could get thirty or fifty talents like this. Sun Yuanqi would definitely not have too many!
¡ª¡ªOf course, if Sun Yuanqi knew that the brother in front of him ranked first among the four auspicious signs of the Republic of China (Baili's mastermind, Yuxiang's enemy, the sixth division's commander, and the bald brother), he would later be jokingly called " There are three auspicious signs in the People's Liberation Army: Jiang Baili of the General Staff Headquarters, whoever he helps will be defeated; Hu Boyu (Hu Lian) of the army, whoever saves will die; the navy's Danyang ship will sink if it goes with them. I wonder if he will regret saying such words?
After a pause, Sun Yuanqi continued: "What Sun admires most is Baili's conclusion in his speech when he took office as the principal of the Baoding Army Military Academy, that is, modern China learned two most irredeemable things from Japan. One is education. One is the Army. I don¡¯t know much about the Army, but judging from my many years of teaching experience, the education I got from Japan is really terrible. Based on this alone, Sun will make Baili his lifelong confidant!"
Liang Qichao was a little confused: "Why did Baixi and Baili say this? In my opinion, although Japan's education level cannot be compared with that of European and American powers, it has a complete education system, a surge in investment in education, and generous teachers' treatment. After nearly thirty or forty years, The development of the Japanese army has effectively improved the overall quality of the Yamato nation and promoted the rapid development of the Japanese economy. As for the Japanese army, it hired German military officers for training and defeated the brutal Tsarist Russian army in one fell swoop during the Russo-Japanese War. Japan has suddenly become a powerful country in Asia. These are all things that China can learn from, so why do you say it is the most hopeless?"
"It is true that Japan's education since the Meiji Restoration can be said to be comprehensively successful, and many experiences are worthy of China's learning. There is no doubt. But the key question is not whether China should learn from Japan, but how we should learn from Japan correctly. Experience!" Sun Yuanqi explained: "After the Sino-Japanese War, the successful reform of Japanese education has become the consensus of the Chinese people and has become an object of imitation in our country's education circles. Each province has sent delegations to Japan to observe and learn, and then follow the example after returning to China. Sample painted gourd.
"Actually, before we follow Japan's example, we must first objectively and accurately evaluate its success or failure. Generally speaking, the cornerstones of the success of Japan's educational reform lie in four aspects: huge capital investment, universal primary education, adapting to social needs, and developing talents through multiple channels. . But what is China's performance in these aspects of learning? In the late Qing Dynasty, the country was plagued by disasters and had to continuously pay huge indemnities to the great powers, resulting in a serious shortage of education funds and constraining the development of the entire education industry, including the fact that the scale of school operations could not match that of the Japan is in the same boat. Primary education is seriously backward, and the quality of teaching is also very different. The foreign teachers hired are either graduates of second- or third-rate schools in Japan, or scraps from Europe and the United States who cannot survive and have to come to China to hunt for gold!
"As for adapting to social needs and developing talents through multiple channels, it is impossible to talk about it. Because China has always had the view that 'everything is inferior, only education is high', many scholars simply disdain to attend normal schools and technical schools. They think that these are This is a heretical theory. As everyone knows, in Japan, normal education, technical education and ordinary middle schools are three in a row, especially technical education that meets the needs of national development for skilled workers, which is the top priority. A Japanese education scholar once said proudly: 'In Our country does not build factories first and then set up industrial schools; rather, it sets up industrial schools first and trains graduates before planning to set up factories.¡¯ In other words, school education is based on the national development layout and even moves ahead of social needs!¡±
Liang Qichao nodded: "The ranking of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce is deeply rooted in the minds of the people, and it is a shackle for the current social development. It must be criticized as soon as possible! I think after Baixi took charge of the Ministry of Education, he vigorously popularized compulsory education and promoted vocational education. It is precisely because of punishment Is that why?"
Sun Yuanqi said: "Exactly! After twenty years of accumulation and influence, these shortcomings have become irreversible. How easy is it to correct them? But the more serious harm lies in the deviation of educational guiding ideology. Japan was in the fifth century of the last century. In the 1960s, some people put forward the concepts of "Eastern morality, Western art" and "Harmonious soul and foreign talent". Later, China also put forward the slogan of "Chinese learning as the body, Western learning as the application". However, those who are full of enterprising and pioneering spirit The Japanese soon surpassed this understanding and elevated "civilization and enlightenment" to the same level as the basic national policy of "colonizing industry and developing industry" and "rich the country and strengthening the army", actively breaking old bad habits and seeking new knowledge in the world.
"And what about our country? Although it is proposed that 'Chinese learning is the body and Western learning is the application', in fact the thinking still remains at the level of 'learning from the foreigners to develop skills to control the foreigners', and there is no development at all.? signs. In the "Academic Affairs Outline" promulgated by the Ministry of Education in the late years of Guangxu's reign, it is clearly stated that "primary and secondary schools should focus on reading scriptures in order to preserve the holy teachings". It stipulates that primary school students should read scriptures for 12 hours a week, accounting for more than one-third of the total class time; middle school students should read scriptures every week 9 hours, accounting for one quarter of the total class time. However, there are very few lectures on Western history, geography, physics and chemistry. As for Western politics, laws, ideology and spirit, they are regarded as a scourge by those in power, and they are prone to empty talk. They require schools to strictly prohibit and ban them.
"There are such deviations in the guiding ideology of education between China and Japan, so it is understandable that the fate of the two countries is different! As for why the Army is hopeless, Sun, a layman, has no idea. He cannot scratch the itch. I want Brother Baili to comment on the pros and cons!"
Jiang Baili did not refuse: "Prime Minister Sun is worthy of being an educator, and Fang Zhen admires his in-depth analysis of current education issues in China! As for the shortcomings of the army, they are generally the same as education issues, but they also have their own particularities. By the way, the style of the Japanese army is They learned from the German Army, the lightest and largest army in the world today, and learned it very well. It should be good. But if we analyze it carefully, we will find that in addition to their military drills and weapons and equipment coming from Germany, their code of conduct and ideological core It¡¯s still Japan¡¯s traditional Bushido. In other words, the Japanese Army is just an old Japanese army dressed in German skin!
"Many people believe that the Japanese army's defeat of Russia in the Russo-Japanese War marked the success of Japan's military reform and the rise of the Japanese nation. But in my opinion, Japan's victory in this war was completely tragic and narrow, and this victory was more It was mostly a victory for the navy, but it was a complete failure for the army! Why do you say that? Let's just take the Battle of Port Arthur as an example.
"The Battle of Port Arthur lasted from August to December 1904, from midsummer to midwinter. The war lasted for five months and was unprecedentedly brutal. In this battle, the Japanese army participated in the battle with a total of more than 130,000 troops, while the Russian army The total number of troops participating in the battle was only 44,000. Under such a disparity in troop proportions, the number of Japanese killed and injured greatly exceeded that of the Russian army, and they finally won the victory. Why did the Japanese army suffer so many casualties? Except that it was on the offensive side. , but also because the Japanese commander Nogi Nogi Nogi devoted all his troops to attack the Russian army who had built a strong fortress with brutal and cruel "meat bomb" tactics, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese army.
"With such ferocious firepower from the Russian army, Nogi Hidenori actually used the human wave tactics that were behind the times to launch a charge against the strong fortress, causing a large number of casualties. For this reason alone, he should be sent to a military court for trial. As a result, Not only was Nogi Nogi's behavior not criticized, but he was hailed as a 'military god' in Japan! The Battle of Port Arthur was the first large-scale modern fortress siege in the world today, and it was also a practical drill for future trench warfare. Such indiscriminate behavior was not only It further encouraged the brutal and ferocious Bushido spirit in the Japanese Army and hindered them from learning from it the experience of future wars!
"Since defeating the Russian army, the Japanese Army has become increasingly proud and arrogant, somewhat arrogant, and more superstitious about the so-called Bushido spirit. It does not even look down on the German Army that it once regarded as its norm. With the current strength of the Japanese Army, it bullies China Weak countries such as North Korea and North Korea are naturally invincible. If one day it becomes hysterical and dares to challenge a country more powerful than Tsarist Russia, or if the situation between China and Japan reverses in a few decades, it will definitely be defeated and the country will be defeated! "
Hearing Jiang Baili's judgment, Sun Yuanqi could hardly help but give him a thumbs up: Twenty or thirty years later, the little Japan, which had profited greatly from the invasion of Korea and China, was so rampant that it successively challenged the Soviet Union, Britain, France, and Japan. When it reached the level of a world power, it was first beaten to a pulp by the Soviet Union in the Battle of Nomonhan, and then beaten to pieces by the United States in the Pacific War, and finally the country was almost destroyed. Isn't all this just as Jiang Baili expected?
Liang Qichao sighed: "Victory covers up shortcomings, praise hinders progress, and arrogance lays the root of disaster. This is probably what is called in Laozi, 'Misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and misfortune lies on the back of blessing', right?"
Jiang Baili added: "The Chinese Army, especially the Beiyang Army, also inherited the German Army and is closely related to the Japanese Army. However, after witnessing the power of the Japanese army in the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, many local armies decided to It is impossible to reach the level of the German army in terms of equipment and equipment, so they set the target of learning as the Japanese Army. In their view, although the Japanese Army cannot be compared with the German Army, it is better than the Japanese Army because it is suitable for the national conditions of East Asia, easy to learn, and its combat effectiveness is not weak, and it is enough to dominate East Asia. , Japanese instructors were cheap and easy to hire. So they quickly used the Japanese Army as a model for learning.
"What is the final result of the squadron's learning? We gave up the German appearance of the Japanese Army and could not learn the Bushido spirit inherent in the Japanese Army. They could only learn some pedantic and rigid guiding ideology and the three-legged cat that was behind the times. War tactics and so-called military education. The whole country is still complacent about this, thinking that it can achieve the goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army.Think about it, isn¡¯t it hopeless? "(To be continued.
