Zhang Jian in Haimen

The most proud thing about The Haimen people in Jiangsu is that Zhang Xiao is a Haimen person. Haimen is a district of Nantong, everyone knows that Zhang Xiao is a Nantong person, and Haimen people are also accustomed to saying that they are Nantong people, but when it comes to Zhang Xiao, it is inevitable that they will be proud and will emphasize that Zhang Xiao is their Haimen people.

Haimen people don't speak the same language as people in Nantong, they speak Wu, which sounds a bit close to Shanghainese. The real old Shanghai will disagree, thinking that this is what the suburban Chongming people say. Visiting the Zhang Jian Memorial Hall at Haimen, the Haimen dialect echoed in his ears, and he thought to himself, was Zhang Xiao speaking in such a tone at that time? I grew up in a Wu environment, my parents and neighbors speak Wu, and it feels very kind to listen. One year at the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, he accompanied several Wuxi people to visit the Jiangnan Gongyuan, and heard someone introduce Zhang Xiao, saying that he was the last leader of the Qing Dynasty, and it was in this examination hall that he was admitted. The introduction made two mistakes, first of all, Zhang Xiao was not the last ruler of the Qing Dynasty. Secondly, although he was from Jiangsu, he did not pass the examination from the Jiangnan Gongyuan.

Zhang Xiao was the champion of the year of the Battle of Jiawu, and behind him, there were several titles. It can only be said that Zhang Jian was the most prominent champion in the late Qing Dynasty, and the yuan behind him can be ignored. Zhang Xiao was the main battle faction, and it was good luck to be able to win the battle, because the examination was held in the first year of the first century, and the examination was opened before the Sino-Japanese naval battle began, and the main battle point of view was just in time. If put in the aftermath of the defeat, his views may belong to the wrong country of scholars, which will make Lafayette angry.

Luck in the exam room is very important, the time and place are favorable. Zhang Xiao took the township examination in Beijing, and there were many admission places in Beijing, and in today's words, it stained the light of the college entrance examination immigrants. There are too many candidates in Jiangnan Gongyuan, and they are as strong as a forest, and going to Beijing for the exam is equivalent to copying a short road. Of course, there are still many southerners who still can't pass the exam in Beijing, such as the famous Kang Youwei, who has taken the exam several times in Beijing, but has not been admitted. Kang Youwei's examination room is very unsatisfactory, the middle lift is very difficult, his student Liang Qichao was a lifter early on, equivalent to the doctoral supervisor who applied for the doctoral student as a supervisor, and this doctoral student who was a teacher, poor or annual doctoral dissertation can not pass.

The examination hall is proud of the real pride of life, sparing him the white hair towel full, and the joy of Qingyun's feet. Whether it is Zhang Xiao or Kang Youwei, it shows that there must be luck in the examination room. Since it is luck, there is no need to take it too seriously. Neither Kang Youwei nor Liang Qichao had ever been a jinshi, and if it was about learning, it was far above Zhang Xiao, who ranked first in the list of jinshi. The examination can explain some problems, but it may not explain any problems.

Zhang Xiao's great power is to save the country through industry, and he has never been a nerd. In this life, all the work is real, and it is all real industry. It is not worth mentioning that he has been in the middle of the ranks, that he has been proud of the officialdom, that he has served as speaker and chief of the House. His economic achievements that year were unmatched, he set many records, and he had a different financial approach from ordinary people. For example, in the construction of the Longhai Railway, he urged the eastern line to pass through Huaiyang, pass through Nantong, Taizhou, and enter the river and enter the sea at Haimen. Think about it, if the eastern end of the Longhai Railway is not Lianyungang, as Zhang Xiao envisions, Huai'an Yangzhou Taizhou Nantong, as early as a hundred years ago, repaired the railway, equivalent to northern Jiangsu has a transport line equivalent to the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, if this can be done, how the cities along the line will develop, the economic benefits produced, and how brilliant.
