There will be good students around us who are so good at learning that people are envious, and how good a good student we want to talk about today has been? He is the leader of the Qing Dynasty, but this title does not live up to the name, he relies on cheating to become a leader, we are more contemptuous of cheating people, but this leader finally became a big hero, founded more than 370 schools, what is going on? Let's take a closer look today.
Zhang Xiao was born in 1853, when the Qing Dynasty exam had a strange rule, that is, three generations of his ancestors had people who had passed the meritorious name, which could prove the innocence of the candidate's family. However, Zhang Xiaozu did not take the meritorious name, so he pretended to be the son of a large family to take the exam, and as a result, he was admitted to Xiucai.
But Zhang Xiao was in trouble, because the family had been blackmailing Zhang Xiao until Jiangsu Xuezheng came forward to solve it. In 1876, at the age of 22, Zhang Jian was invited by Wu Changqing of the Huai Army to serve as a staff member, and the other staff member at that time was Yuan Shikai, and the two of them also worked together for several years.
In 1882, when there was a mutiny in Korea, the then 29-year-old Zhang Jian and Yuan Shikai went to Korea to suppress the rebellion, during which Time Zhang Jian wrote many political articles expressing his tough attitude toward foreign invaders. This also made Zhang Xiao pay attention to the "Qing school". Although Zhang Xiao became a show talent at the age of 15, he did not win until the age of 30.
Finally, he was 32 years old in the township examination, because he was a southerner but became the first place in the northern list, so he attracted the attention of many people while getting a good result in the examination. The Qing school was more determined to support Zhang Xiao's idea, and in the subsequent examinations, it always used cheating methods to promote Zhang Xiao, but it did not succeed for various reasons.
It wasn't until Zhang Xiao was 41 years old that he won the meritorious examination, and when the examination paper was examined by officials of the Qing school, Zhang Xiao naturally became the champion of that year. Although Zhang Xiaogong's name was obtained by cheating, his strength and backbone are very admirable. After the Qing Dynasty was defeated by Japan and signed the Treaty of Maguan, Zhang Xiao wanted to save the country and decided to go to the sea to establish a spinning factory.
At that time, people were shocked, because business was not a way out with a card in the eyes of people at that time, and Zhang Jian opened a spinning factory under the title of Yuanlang. In the early days of entrepreneurship, Zhang Xiao was in a difficult situation, he could only rely on borrowing money to invest, and finally slowly broke even, and the spinning mill gradually grew. After Zhang Jian had money, he created a number of private enterprises in Nantong, making Nantong the first city in modern China at that time.
Not only that, Zhang Jian also loved to create schools, creating more than 370 schools in his lifetime, among which the more famous ones are now Fudan University, Ocean University of China, Southeast University and Nanjing University. And Zhang Xiao devoted his life to reviving the motherland, and his thinking was also very advanced, not only applied for a constitutional monarchy, but also used his own industry to drive the national industrial revival. Although in the end, due to the war, Zhang Xiao's industry went bankrupt, but his contribution to the country will always promote the development of the country, and Zhang Xiao is worthy of being a national hero.
