Chapter X
Yan Fu naturally could not have seen the outward bound training in the early 21 st century, and the core purpose of the outward bound training in the 21st century was completely different from the military training in the early 20 th century. The core of outward bound training in the 21st century is "reasoning". It is very different from the forced indoctrination of discipline in military training in the early 20th century.
After lunch, Chen Ke instructed everyone to clean up the picnic things. Chen Ke's explanation for this is: "Doing things needs to have a beginning and an end. "You can skip eating, but you have to clean up the dishes and chopsticks after eating. In 1905, when there was no universal compulsory education, those who could read, or more specifically, the members of the Huangpu Publishing Society, were not from poor families. Many people even come from wealthy families, and there are servants in the house to clean up the dishes after dinner, and they have not washed the dishes and chopsticks themselves at all. Therefore, Chen Ke moved out the truth that everyone can understand, which can be regarded as stimulating everyone's enthusiasm for labor.
Watching Chen Ke command more than a hundred young people, acting according to Chen Ke's hope. Although it was just these simple little things, Yan Fu also felt that it was very remarkable. At that time, in the Beiyang Naval Academy, after entering the school, the students knew that they had to abide by the rules in the military academy, and even so, the instructors had to check again and again, correct again and again, and even use corporal punishment to establish discipline and norms. As far as Yan Fu knows, the Huangpu Publishing House is not a formal organization, it has not been established for a long time, and its members are diverse. Chen Ke can command these people anyway. And as far as Yan Fu can see, the young people have no intention of rebelling against Chen Ke. This commanding ability surprised Yan Fu very much.
When observing Chen Ke carefully, Yan Fu was able to determine that Chen Ke was not from a military academy. Yan Fu went to study at the British Naval Academy, and he also served as a military school principal. Chen Ke's movements and momentum are not from a military academy at first glance. But Chen Ke is obviously no stranger to the rules and the grasp of everyone's emotions. Yan Fu knew that it was not a simple matter to let one person lead the crowd, and not to mention anything else, just standing in front of more than 100 people and talking eloquently, and being able to make the more than 100 listeners follow the speaker's train of thought, this was already a qualified instructor in itself. This kind of instructor was not very common even in the Beiyang Naval Academy back then.
Originally, Yan Fu came here just to see if Chen Ke was really busy with things. didn't plan to stay long, but looking at Chen Ke's performance, Yan Fu was not in a hurry to leave. A twenty-five-year-old young man, even in 1905, belonged to the category of "hairless and unstable." "Age zone. The strength shown by Chen Ke made Yan Fuzhen feel "terrifying". Yan Fu has a lot of practical experience, and he has seen countless capable people, but he doesn't believe in the kind of "genius" mentioned in the commentary, he knows everything about astronomy and geography, literature can prosper the country, and martial arts can determine the country. People who know that they can write books and speak often do not do well in their actual work. Those who perform well in actual work often can't write.
Chen Ke's performance overturned Yan Fu's previous experience of looking at people. Can write books and do things. This really has the demeanor of those real "famous people" in the history books. Sun Wu can write books and lead troops to attack Chu. Even the princesses of Wu were able to practice under the leadership of Sun Wu. The quality of the people in front of Chen Ke is definitely stronger than those women more than 2,000 years ago. However, as far as Yan Fu's observation is concerned, they are just a rabble. Sun Wu still had the power to kill people back then, and Chen Ke could only rely on his own personal ability to persuade and lead everyone. It is precisely because Yan Fu is not an ordinary person that he can better understand how good Chen Ke's ability is. Sun Wu became famous all over the world and became a great god of war, and was worshiped by future generations for thousands of years. What will happen to Chen Ke in front of him?
"If there were such characters in the Beiyang Naval Academy back then......" Seeing Chen Ke commanding everyone in an orderly manner, even Yan Fu couldn't help but think about it.
Chen Ke didn't know what Yan Fu was thinking, he finally instructed everyone to clean up their things. Then he led everyone to start the afternoon outward bound training.
The first is the game. The game is as simple as 10 people holding hands with each other, as long as there are no two people shaking hands at each other. In the case that the hand does not need to be released, the person keeps moving the position, then these people must be able to circle one or several people around.
Chen Ke and the other ten people who were demonstrating held hands together and gathered tightly, looking like dead knots. The onlookers felt that what Chen Ke said was unreliable. But Chen Ke has played this game many times, and the main point of this way of unraveling this thing is to start with the hand holding at the top. Soon, with the efforts of everyone, or squatting at the same time, the person holding the hand can step over the secret numb arm, or turn around with great difficulty so that the connection of the arm does not twist. Or raise the arms high, forming the shape of an arch, and the crowd slowly dissolves and becomes looser and looser. In the end, as Chen Ke said, it really formed a ring of ten people holding hands.
Letting everyone let go of their hands, Chen Ke shouted: "According to the order of the queue, a group of ten people will complete this game." ”
In these years, young people do not have many recreational activities, and sports such as basketball, volleyball, table tennis, and football are not popular in China at all. Even glass balls are not widespread. The game was an instant hit with enthusiasm. Chen Ke watched everyone gather to play together, and slowly retreated by himself. Everyone's enthusiasm was beyond Chen Ke's imagination. Chen Ke participated in the outward bound training, and there are many people who are not keen on the game itself. Chen Ke originally wanted to see how many people were the same in this expansion, but he didn't expect everyone to be very enthusiastic and dedicated, even if they were shy by nature, although they were a little embarrassed to answer, but they also took the initiative to participate in it. This really surprised Chen Ke.
"What's the point of Wenqing's game?" Yan Fu walked up to Chen Ke's side at some point, and he asked.
"Mr. Yan, this game is to bring everyone's feelings closer."
"Oh? So, there's something to come? Yan Fu was very interested in this.
"The next game is to increase everyone's trust. The last one is for everyone to take on the challenge together. "Chen Ke doesn't hide his selfishness, and it's very boring to talk nonsense in front of smart people.
Sure enough, as Chen Ke expected, Yan Fu pondered for a while and said: "First show justice, then get closer to the relationship, then cultivate trust, and finally meet the challenge." Got it. ”
Chen Ke didn't want to brag or be polite. He just smiled, but didn't speak.
Unexpectedly, Yan Fu said: "Wen Qing, I have a suggestion. After the last game, can Wen Qing lead these students to practice? ”
Chen Ke was slightly shocked after hearing this, he did have this plan himself, but he didn't say it. I didn't expect Yan Fu to have this year. Chen Ke turned his head and asked, "Why is that?" ”
Yan Fu looked at the students and said indifferently: "Wen Qing will know when the time comes." ”
Chen Ke didn't ask any more questions, and turned his head with Yan Fu to continue watching everyone's actions.
In the process of modern outward bound training, there must always be someone who acts as a coach. This role is not good, and you have to find problems at any time and punish them. But Chen Ke has no intention of playing this role in this training. Now is not the time. However, Chen Ke looked at the serious attitude of his classmates, and Chen Ke felt that everyone's seriousness was really beyond his imagination. No one deliberately broke the rules in order to end the event as early as possible. If it's in the 21st century, don't talk about others, Chen Ke himself is an otaku, the game is good, but it's better to go home early. Turn on the computer, watch movies, listen to music, and chat. It's all very comfortable stuff. Compared to this comfort, outward bound training is just an adjustment.
When Chen Ke was a child, he loved to go to the cinema to watch movies, but after he got a computer, he basically never did. It's nothing more than the size of the screen at home and in the cinema, and you can watch whatever you want at home. Why bother so much to be easily entertained? In 1905, no matter how comfortable life was, it could not reach the level of 2005. It is not only the necessities of life that are lacking, but also the spiritual life. This is an era of total lack of knowledge, culture, and entertainment. What is the difference between the fact that these students are so passionate about the games that Chen Ke taught him and what is the difference between Chen Ke's childhood passion for playing glass balls and playing with pictures, and then indulging in video games?
Thinking of this, a certain doubt in Chen Ke's heart was suddenly somewhat solved. Why did seven comrades join the party in just a few months, this society is so stagnant, so repressing, and full of injustice. That's why the comrades will work with Chen Ke, who can still be regarded as relatively fair, and even go to the revolution.
The revolution was originally conceived among the people, and as Yan Fu just summed up, everyone still pursued fairness in such trivial matters as sharing meals. It's not through these games to enhance the relationship, but the students themselves need to enhance the relationship, and these healthy and uplifting games provide everyone with opportunities. Otherwise, it doesn't explain the lack of enthusiasm in 21st century outward bound training. and Chen Ke himself, who thinks the activity is okay, but wants to go home more.
Chen Ke has been telling his comrades that it is not the People's Party that launches the mass revolution, but the masses who need revolution and follow the People's Party. He understood it theoretically, but only after he really launched this outward bound training did Chen Ke verify that his words were indeed correct.
"The Chinese people are great people, because even an illiterate person knows that they should maintain a just order." Chen Ke forgot which book it was, but Chen Ke agreed with it. Although it is also a theoretical agreement. Today, Chen Ke finally believes that as long as the things provided are healthy and uplifting, and are in line with the nature of the Chinese people to pursue truth, goodness and beauty, then everyone will follow you. As Chen Ke saw with his own eyes, there is a team that has failed twice and is now challenging the game for the third time.
The revolution is still very promising, Chen Ke couldn't help but smile. How can it not succeed when there is such a social basis that requires revolution? Chen Ke said to himself. Although the objective nature of science and engineering later made Chen Ke have some doubts about his optimism.
It took less than forty minutes for eleven teams to complete the game. Everyone was laughing, some of them were lively, and they were still acting out what their arms were twisted into, or how embarrassed others were when they crossed the dense arms.
"Now, students, let's move on to the next project. Trust back falls. Chen Ke clapped his hands and shouted loudly.
This project is not simple, Hua Xiongmao built six sets of platforms according to Chen Ke's command. All are more than three meters tall. Chen Ke asked twenty people to stand under the platform in two teams, and everyone stood facing each other. Place your arms on the shoulders with the backs of your hands down and your palms up. Chen Ke explained the rules, and he himself would fall straight down from the top of the platform and land on the arms of the crowd. Chen Ke assured that the impact would not hurt Chen Ke or the people below.
After explaining, Chen Ke asked in a loud voice, "Do you believe me?" "Everyone is very worried about this posture, if the palm is down, the back of the hand is up on the shoulder of the classmate opposite, Chen Ke will fall, so everyone can hold Chen Ke. The palm of the hand is upward, there is no place to borrow strength, Chen Ke, a big tall man, fell from above, smashed his arm, and definitely smashed everyone's arm, and at that time Chen Ke fell straight to the ground.
The students who were standing looked at each other.
"I said there was no problem, then there was absolutely no problem. Do you believe me? Chen Ke asked with a firm gaze.
After the previous training, the students have built up confidence in Chen Ke, and everyone said to Chen Ke: "We believe in Mr. Chen. ”
"No need to add anything, sir. Answer me together. After speaking, Chen Ke said loudly again, "Do you believe me? ”
"We believe." Almost unanimous answers.
Chen Ke asked loudly again, "You believe us?" ”
"We believe." This time, the sound is uniform.
Hearing this momentum, Chen Ke smiled, explained the rules and precautions, and Chen Ke flexibly climbed onto the shelf. As he himself said, stand on the table with only the forefeet and your back to everyone. "My name is Chen Ke, and I'm ready." He shouted.
"Our first team is also ready, trust us." The students below responded excitedly.
As soon as he heard this reply, Chen Ke's body immediately straightened up, and under the gaze of more than a hundred pairs of eyes, he was like a rotating second hand, with his feet as the axis, and his body fell straight backwards. Everyone didn't expect Chen Ke to fall down, and in the sound of gasping cold air, Chen Ke's body had already fallen straight down horizontally, and fell on the "net" formed by the arms of his classmates. The feeling behind me was slightly sinking, but it stopped immediately.
Everyone has their palms upward, and another advantage of this is that they don't have to reverse their arms, so they put Chen Ke down. The classmates around him were already asking, "Does it hurt?" They were frightened by Chen's neat whereabouts. The platform was more than three meters high, and Chen Ke stood on it, and the top of his head was more than five meters above the ground. Falling straight down from such a high place, I felt a shock just by looking at it.
"It doesn't hurt at all."
"That's right, what Mr. Chen said is right, a person's weight is shared on these forty arms, and it doesn't feel much at all."
The students below said proudly. When Chen Ke fell off such a big head, everyone was a little worried, but they didn't expect it to be really as Chen Ke said, and they didn't feel much at all.
Some people can't help but be ready to climb on the stage and try it out for themselves.
The most feared thing about this training is that the person's buttocks will naturally go down, and it is naturally no problem for forty arms to bear the weight of a person, but three or four arms will not work. Chen Ke made five bundle bags. The aim is to avoid this problem.
After so much training, everyone has already begun to get used to obedience. There are two people standing on the platform to help the classmates who are going to carry out the "trust back fall" to put on the bag, the body bag-like big cloth bag has a few flat poles inside, after the person is put in, the outside is tied tightly with a rope, and the people inside can't bend it if they want to. These two people are also responsible for controlling the direction, not just skewed. Chen Ke can do it himself, but he doesn't dare to really let the students do it themselves.
More than 100 people divided into five teams to start the project. Some people were so upset that they immediately began to fall backwards after the Q&A. Some people are not so cheerful, they always hesitate for a while, and then pluck up a few courages before leaning back, and in the air, although their bodies are forcibly straightened by the flat shoulder, they can still see that their buttocks are more obviously bulging. These people didn't live up to the rules that call for a straight body.
There were also people who stood there and shouted a few times, and the people below responded, but they couldn't do anything to lean back. I had no choice but to help them out. According to Chen Ke's secret confession, they pushed the foreheads of the classmates who refused to fall, so that they could fall relatively straight.
One after another, and the following answered in unison, "Please trust us." Then the "trapeze" fell one by one, and the people in front made demonstrations, and the people behind became more and more proficient. The game ended in less than an hour and a half.
Yan Fu looked at the excited and frightened looks of the students, and watched them become more and more proficient in "thrilling" training. His face became more and more solemn. Chen Ke's training looks thrilling, but it is very safe. As everyone went through this kind of training, the atmosphere between them became more and more harmonious. If there were no classmates below to catch him, he would fall backwards at such a height, and he would have to lose half his life if he didn't die. But he was able to fall on the arms of his classmates unharmed, and then was put down by his hands and feet. The feeling is very different. In a sense, this can be regarded as a "fateful friendship".
After such training, Yan Fu believes that the relationship between these people will be very different in the future. The training of the Beiyang Naval Division has always been very harsh, and before the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, there were many incidents of soldiers dying because the training was too harsh. But that kind of training can't train that kind of trust. How did Chen Ke come up with such a method? Watching Chen Ke carefully inspect the training, although he was the leader of the group, he was so naturally integrated into the environment. Yan Fu was not worried that someone would oppose Chen Ke at this time, but no one would disagree with Chen Ke's command. If these students become an army over time, then they must be connected and work together.
Yan Fu was very satisfied with this.
"Mr. Yan, you should also participate." When Yan Fu was thinking, a student excitedly ran over to invite him. After this stimulation, the students' faces turned red one by one. Many of the original rules, under the excitement of young people, have been thrown aside.
"Huh?" Yan Fu didn't expect to be invited.
I don't know who coaxed first, anyway, the classmates have already shouted in unison: "Mr. Yan, come one!" Mr. Yan, come one! "More and more people are participating in the shouting. In this scene, which has been dominated by group consciousness, everyone can't help but join in. Listening to the warm and friendly invitation, even Yan Fu felt a little involuntarily moved. He was a soldier and didn't like to be polite. Yan Fu simply took off his glasses, and the level of stairs climbing that he had trained at the British Naval Academy and in the Nanyang and Beiyang fleets earlier was still there, and the classmates applauded together when he watched Yan Fu climb onto the stage with his hands and feet. Yan Fu stood up like Chen Ke, and in the sudden silence, Yan Fu said loudly: "My name is Yan Fu, and I'm ready." ”
"Trust us." The voice below was loud and powerful, and Yan Fu could hear that it was not just the person who was going to catch him, everyone responded in unison.
Yan Fu straightened up and fell straight back. In any case, that innate human reaction will not go away, and that faint sense of fear still dominates the feeling. But Yan Fu is not a person who admits defeat, not only did he not subconsciously tighten his body, but on the contrary, he made his body straight. It's like jumping into the sea during swimming training in the Navy. The feeling of falling seemed to be very long, and it didn't last long, and before Yan Fu began to question whether he could catch him below, Yan Fu's body had already fallen into the barrier formed by the solid arm. The power of the crowd will be tightly enshrined in the air. No one was hurt. The cheers rang out again.
The last event is to climb an obstacle in a group of 10 people, and the whole team has to pass an obstacle more than three meters high. The outside of this thing is a sturdy wooden frame buried deep in the ground, and the inside is made of thick planks piece by piece without any gaps. Everyone must first climb up with the Arhats, and then go down, and the one who remains at the end must hold the leg of the penultimate person and be pulled over by everyone. Although the theory is simple, it is also quite laborious to implement.
Yan Fu paced to Chen Ke's side and asked, "Wen Qing, can I command the final parade drill." Watching the students working together to read through the obstacles, Yan Fu felt that he suddenly regained the feeling of the principal of the Beiyang Sailor School. It was a feeling I hadn't felt in a long time.
"I started this outward bound training, and I had to come and direct it myself. I'm really sorry that I can't follow Mr. Yan's wishes. Chen Kewen firmly rejected Yan Fu's request.
Yan Fu didn't think about it so much, but he was just a little excited. Listening to Chen Ke's refusal, Yan Fu suddenly understood that he was no longer the principal, and his own days had been shattered in the year of Gengzi. Looking at Chen Ke's young and energetic face, and seeing that those students who were also young were encouraging each other, carrying, and pulling their companions over the high obstacles, Yan Fu nodded slightly. But he didn't say much.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone climbed over the barrier. Many people even have blood marks on their arms. But no one cared about this, everyone talked happily and chatted. After a day of training, even young people feel a little tired, but everyone feels comfortable. Originally, in the Huangpu Publishing House, everyone also met, but it would not be so close anyway. After passing through so many passes, everyone suddenly found that the students around them, even some of the students who didn't look very pleasing to the eye, had their own reliable or cute side. This new discovery has brought students closer to those who already like to make friends.
"Assemble and line up." Chen Ke shouted. His arm pointed straight to a spot in front of him. No more special explanations. Someone had already run over and stood in that position, like a magnet attracting iron filings, and the other students took this person as the origin and stood in a ten-by-eleven phalanx.
"All of them, walk together." Chen Ke shouted.
Although the queue was still a little chaotic, although some people couldn't help but get out of their right foot first, but under Chen Ke's "one-two-one" command, everyone didn't need Chen Ke's order, and consciously adjusted the step point, and it didn't take long for everyone's steps to finally be able to step out of the same step. The neater the footsteps, the more powerful, and the more powerful, the more neat. The students walked 50 meters with the same steps. The wall was getting closer and closer, and although everyone thought it might be time to stop, no one stopped. It's a wonderful feeling, and everyone feels like a whole new power. As long as Chen Ke gave an order, everyone would work together to climb over the wall in front of them and move towards the vast space outside the wall according to the training they had just received.
"Stand upright!" Chen Ke finally shouted.
"Students," Chen Ke shouted at the front of the team, "today, everyone has received outward bound training. Everyone participated in the training for the first time and did a great job. The first thing we want to tell you in this training is that fairness is possible. Secondly, as long as you can trust your comrades and obey discipline, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. Even if you fall, you can be caught. In the future, we will definitely encounter many difficulties and obstacles in our life and study, but as long as we can work hard as we do today, there is no hurdle that we cannot overcome. ”
Looking at the excited and satisfied faces of the students, as well as the expressions of understanding and agreement, Chen Ke continued: "Today, I would like to thank you all for your participation. Tomorrow, everyone has to go to class and study. Now, I announce, dissolve. ”
The students stood still and did not disperse. Chen Ke's concise and concise style is something that everyone has always liked. No one likes to talk about tirades, but now, no one wants to leave, everyone feels as if something is missing. It seems that a summary of something is needed.
Chen Ke was very satisfied with this, he slowly raised his left arm, and everyone's eyes were focused on the left arm that was clenched into a fist, "Fight for the rise of China!" Chen Ke shouted.
Everyone's emotions seem to have found the final flashpoint in this sentence, "Strive for the rise of China!" "Someone is already shouting." Strive for the rise of China! Everyone unconsciously joined in the shouting. The sound rushed in all directions. Whether it was Yan Fu in the distance or the workers on the construction site, they all looked over.
