    Seeing Sun Yuanqi's hesitation, Uchida Yasuya hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Principal Sun, in modern times, the gates of our two countries, Japan and China, have been opened by the powerful ships and cannons of European and American powers, causing the country to be humiliated. The people are still regarded as  Inferior nations, this is something we absolutely cannot tolerate! Japan and China are good neighbors and friends who share the same common ground and are separated by a narrow strip of water. They should support each other, fight against the hegemony of Europe and the United States, and achieve common prosperity in East Asia!"

    From a young age, watching the Anti -Japanese War and Television Drama, but all Japanese wizards and traitors must be called "China -Japan Rice" and "East Asia Gong", so they are extremely disgusted with these two words.  Seeing that the Japanese minister was also following the same tune, Sun Yuanqi sneered and asked: "As far as I know, ever since your country's 'father of modern education' Mr. Fukuzawa Yukichi proposed the 'theory of leaving Asia and joining Europe', it has been regarded as a guideline by your government."  , and actively follow Europe and the United States. Now the minister keeps talking about 'fighting against Europe and the United States' and 'co-prosperity in East Asia'. I am confused now. Is your country detached from Asia? Or is it not?"

    On March 16, 1885, Fukuzawa Yukichi published an editorial of more than 2,000 words in "Jiji Shinpo", which is the famous "Dea Theory".  The term "Leaving Asia and Joining Europe" was formally proposed in the article.  In the chronology of "Japanese Political History", there is a special entry for this incident and it is included among the major events that occurred in 1885, which shows its importance.

    Fukuzawa Yukichi wrote in the article: "For today's plan, our country should not hesitate to wait for the enlightenment of its neighboring countries and jointly revitalize Asia. It is better to break away from their ranks and advance and retreat with the countries of Western civilization; the treatment of China and Korea cannot be based on  To pay special attention to neighboring countries, we can only treat them as Westerners treat them." According to Fukuzawa Yukichi, China and North Korea should not be treated as friendly neighbors, but should be treated as the same as Western powers.  It is a colony that can be divided.  Because of his "great" remarks about leaving Asia and joining Europe and his contribution to education, Fukuzawa Yukichi's face is now printed on Japan's largest 10,000-yen banknote.

    Uchida Yasuya did not expect that Sun Yuanqi would suddenly mention this. After a while, he defended: "What our country said about leaving Asia and joining Europe is just to change the old Asian system politically and economically and actively align with Western civilized countries; but culturally  Our roots have always remained in Asia and have never wavered."

    "Really? So that's it." Sun Yuanqi seemed to answer in the affirmative, but even a fool could hear a strong suspicion from his words.

    In fact, when Japan left Asia and joined Europe, it chose to completely break with Chinese culture.  Even during the Meiji Restoration, Sinology was deprived of the right to teach.  According to Yang Shoujing, for a long time after the Meiji Restoration, European style and beauty were raging in Japan, and its citizens also advocated new learning and spurned old learning. Ancient Chinese books were regarded as a symbol of backwardness, and scholar-bureaucrats abandoned ancient books as if they were old.  Yang Shoujing took the opportunity to collect and purchase 654 rare Chinese books and more than 30,000 volumes of rare Chinese books and lost domestic secret books from Japanese book collectors such as Mori Tateyuki and Shimada Shigerei.  Later, Wang Guowei, Fu Zengxiang, Dong Kang, Zhang Yuanji, Sun Kaidi and others visited Japan successively, which led to a rare return of Chinese classics from Japan at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China.

    But Uchida Yasuya was still stubborn and nodded and replied: "That's exactly it!"

    Sun Yuanqi nodded: "Since the Minister also believes that the cultural roots of the Japanese people have always been in Asia, then we should cherish it more, study seriously, and strive to carry forward the excellent East Asian civilization. The number of international students I have given to your country is exactly  Out of this consideration. Unexpectedly, the Minister and I coincided with each other. We really have a good understanding!"

    These words made Uchida Yasuya blush so hard that he could not speak for a long time.

    Nagaoka Hantaro quickly came to the rescue: "What Mr. Fukuzawa said was based on Japan's domestic situation during the reform and reform forty years ago. As your country says every day, 'overcorrection must be overcorrected.' Now our country is also doing the same.  Reflect on and correct this problem. However, the historical facts of so many years have proven to us that just learning the traditional culture of East Asia cannot enrich the country and strengthen the army. We must also actively learn Western scientific knowledge. Mr. Sun, your study and work experience is not  Does this also reflect this?"

    What Nagaoka said revealed the crucial flaws of Chinese culture: it can be conservative but difficult to make progress; it pays attention to spiritual cultivation and ignores material civilization.

    Seeing Sun Yuanqi thoughtful, Nagaoka continued: "Furthermore, in terms of the general development trend of human civilization, science should be borderless, because science is a knowledge system that reflects the essential relationship of the objective world and its laws of motion.  , it is objective, truthful and systematic, and is a true knowledge system. As a science that reflects objective laws, it has no class or national character.

    ¡°And the fundamental purpose of studying science is to benefit all mankind, and all scientific knowledge and research results will ultimately be shared by all mankind.Therefore, the dissemination of scientific knowledge is transcendent and international, and can serve any nation, any country, and any class.  Therefore, I implore Mr. Sun to open his mind and accommodate more Japanese students!  "

    cut!  Yes, science has no borders, but scientists have borders.

    Sun Yuanqi did not want to refute it, so he had to change his perspective and said: "But the quotas for international students from various countries have been confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and issued to each country. If it is changed privately, I am afraid it will be inconvenient, right?"

    ??According to the "Regulations on the Management of Students Traveling to China from the East and West in the Qing Dynasty" that I submitted, in general, there are more liberal arts and less science; more science and less engineering.  Which country is willing to give up its quota that it already has?

    At this time, Uchida Yasuya had regained his combat effectiveness. He was overjoyed when he heard this, and said quickly: "About this, we have three solutions: First, the admission quota can be adjusted again. Because the Boxer indemnity in Spain is less than 100,000 taels of silver, if every year  If we send a full quota of international students, there will be no funds available within two or three years. However, Belgium and the Netherlands have small populations and no Boxer Indemnity, so it is impossible to send a full quota of international students every year. Mr. Sun can transfer the difference as appropriate.  Allotted to Japan.

    ¡°Secondly, Mr. Sun can also apply to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to increase the total number of international students and allocate the additional places to Japan. Not only will we in Japan be happy to accept this situation, but I believe your government will also be optimistic about the outcome.

    ¡°As for the third one, I would like to ask Mr. Sun to reduce the number of places in Chinese, philosophy, history, traditional Chinese medicine and other subjects among the 15 places in Japan, and increase the places in physics, electronics, nuclear engineering and other directions.

    "I think that as long as we coordinate these three options, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not object. Mr. He, are you right?"

    Originally, Sun Yuanqi thought that He Renli would come up with the same question as other officials, "This question, hahaha After the official returns, I will report it to the top, please consider it." He then considered it for two months and studied it for half a year.  As long as you relax your efforts, the entire proposal will immediately become "a complete mess".  Unexpectedly, He Renli broke out today. When he heard the news, he immediately replied: "When we came here, our Lord Minister had already said that under the premise that the number of places is not less than the original stipulation, as long as all parties are satisfied, the ministry will not interfere. So, this still needs to be done.  Let¡¯s see what Principal Sun means!¡±

    Seeing He Renli kick the ball to him, Sun Yuanqi was a little depressed.  In desperation, I carefully weighed the three plans proposed by the Japanese minister in my mind:

    The third option is undoubtedly the most unacceptable.  Although we hate the Japanese, we must also see the advantages of the Japanese: rigorous, meticulous, smart, hard-working, and patriotic.  As long as they are given an opportunity, they feel that they can use advanced technology extremely smoothly. The simplest example is that nearly 20 people in Japan have won the Nobel Prize so far. Among them, the Nobel Prize in Physics includes Yukawa Hideki (1949), Tomonaga  Shinichiro (1965), Reina Esaki (1973), Masatoshi Oshiba (2002), Makoto Kobayashi (2008), Toshihide Masukawa (2008), etc. The Chemistry Prize includes Kenichi Fukui (1981), Hideki Shirakawa (2000), Ryoharu Noyori  (2001), Koichi Tanaka (2002), Osamu Shimomura (2008), Akira Suzuki (2010), Eiichi Negishi (2010), etc.  If Japanese students are really exposed to the core of atomic nuclear physics, I wonder what they can do!

    The second option doesn¡¯t work either.  If Cixi was asked to choose, she would definitely like this one.  But the school is only so big, the teachers are so small, and 200 people are already at capacity, how can there be more?

    After many choices, only the first option is more reliable. After all, it is demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall. Besides, it is still open to question whether the Japanese will be allowed to demolish the east wall!  Furthermore, other countries also have more liberal arts subjects and fewer science and engineering subjects.  If they choose liberal arts, it doesn't matter; if they choose science and engineering, I will let you follow Einstein in the unified field theory.  I don¡¯t believe that you little Japan can sort out something that Einstein didn¡¯t understand and no one in the next fifty years understood it!

    Seeing that Sun Yuanqi had been deep in thought, Uchida Yasuya took another dose of strong medicine: "Mr. Sun, as long as you agree to one of these three plans, our Japanese government will also allow students from your school to study in Japan!"

    Sun Yuanqi had not considered this aspect at first. After listening to his words, he suddenly remembered that he had promised to send Zhao Jingxing to the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy a few years ago, but he never asked again. He didn't know if the boy still had such intention.  Immediately, he asked, "Can I recommend a few students to attend the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School?"

    Uchida Yasuya did not answer directly: "Because the school is a military school, I can't make a direct decision. I'm afraid I need to ask domestic questions before I can reply to you!"

    Sun Yuanqi knew clearly in his heart: What he said about "requiring inquiries from the country before answering" was simply because he wanted to express his position first.  So he nodded and said: "I think as long as you guys reach an agreement, we can accept the first option."
