Chapter 564: National Integration?

Zhao Zhen's idea surprised Cai Boyu and Peng Qi, the official family not only wanted to obtain the land of Yanyun, but even had the crazy idea of occupying the Xijing Road and Zhongjing Road of the Liao Dynasty, in the eyes of the two of them, it was already a blessing for the Great Song Dynasty to take the sixteen states of Yanyun, after all, with Yanyun, he could compete with the Liao Dynasty, and at the same time, he was not afraid of the harassment of Western Xia.

Cai Boyu looked at Zhao Zhen's back blankly with the cake, and at this time he understood why the official family did not plan to stop the pace of the expedition, it turned out that the plan was very big! But Xijing Road and Zhongjing Road are the best battlefields of the Liao people, where there are large grasslands and Khitans who are all soldiers......

Peng Qi has already stepped forward quickly to keep up with Zhao Zhen's footsteps, his duty is to protect the official family, and the rest has nothing to do with him, the official family wants to march to Xijing Road, then go to it, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty have already planned to follow the official family all the way to Shangjing of the Liao Dynasty to establish immortal achievements!

Cai Boyu hurriedly caught up with Zhao Zhen and said, "Official, don't we take down the entire territory of Yanyun?" After all, Xijin Mansion is only half and half of the entire Yanyun......"

Zhao Zhen smiled: "Who told you that I want to take the entire territory of Yanyun?" Even you think so, the Liao people must think the same way, a Juyong Pass will waste a lot of manpower and material resources in my Great Song Dynasty, why bother attacking? My target is Sheep City and Swallow City! ”

Zhao Zhen's words made Cai Boyu and Peng Qi speechless, today's impact is too big for them, who would have thought that the official family would abandon the entire territory of Yanyun and take the sword to seize the two cities in Fengsheng Prefecture? If you want to say this, I'm afraid even the Liao people won't believe it! I will definitely think that the Great Song Tianzi is crazy......

Cai Boyu and Peng Qi glanced at each other, since the official family would tell themselves such amazing news, it means that this is the official family's ambition, and he must be tight-lipped, even Xia Zhu can't reveal a bit.

Zhao Zhen walked in front, at this moment what he saw was the charm of the city of Xijin Mansion, the arrogance of the grassland and the elegance of the Han people seemed to be combined, everything was so seamless, there was no sense of disobedience at all, whether it was the Khitan people or the Han people, there was no estrangement between the two sides, after all, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty were also commensurate with the country of brothers, although the Liao people governed the Han people unfairly, but it was still the north-south division system, which gave the Han people a little dignity.

Now that this land has returned to the rule of the Han dynasty, Zhao Zhen will naturally not embarrass these attached Khitans...... What is the most powerful weapon of the Han Chinese? It is fusion, assimilation, what seems to be the most powerless and useless thing, but it is the most deadly!

Nowadays, the Khitan people in Xijin Province have been slowly assimilated by the local Han people, except for their Khitan identity, there is almost no difference, and some even wear long robes with hair like the Han people......

This is an imperceptible change, and it is this change that makes the Chinese nation stronger!

Zhao Zhen did not intend to take genocidal measures, because it was useless, even if a steppe people were destroyed, there would be more to stand up, the Huns disappeared but there were Turks who became the opponents of the Central Plains Dynasty, and after the Turks moved westward, the Khitan appeared, Zhao Zhen knew that the Khitan would also disappear, and then the Jurchens and Mongols......

These nomads on the steppe can never be wiped out and cannot be completely wiped out, what they can do is to let them integrate into the Central Plains Dynasty and restore their identity as Chinese people!

It is an undeniable fact that all the nomads are descendants of the Chinese ancestors, but they live a nomadic life on the grassland, which is different from the people of the Central Plains, but the common ancestors of both sides are the same.

The ancestors of the Huns are descendants of Xia Wei, who can say that they are not descendants of China? The Turks are a branch of the Xiongnu and can be regarded as part of the Chinese bloodline, and the Khitan is naturally no exception......

Zhao Zhen looked at a Khitan man and scolded with a smile, threw the cake in his hand to the Han child on the side, and said, "Did the dog listen to your father today?" If you go to harm other people's quilts again, you will definitely be beaten and bloom! ”

The boy named Dog sniffed and laughed: "Uncle Geer, I didn't harm the quilt you dried, if anyone dares to harm me, I will be the first to refuse!" ”

The hearty laughter sounded so that Zhao Zhen saw the open-mindedness of the Khitan people, no nation will be an absolute bad person or an absolute good person, accept the good side of the Khitan must accept their bad side, the Khitan people are emotional, sometimes very delicate, but sometimes very rough, with extraordinary persistence, introverted, and sometimes unprincipled forgiveness, impulsive, not good at fighting for their rights......

But after such a long time of understanding, Zhao Zhen found that the Khitans had a fatal shortcoming, once they saw the bloody alive and into battle, their whole person changed, making people strange and frightened, once they fought they would become extremely cruel, barbaric and backward, the Han people did not understand their changes, and called them barbarians, but Zhao Zhen knew that this was the primitive impulse in their blood......

The human instinct is to kill in addition to reproduction...... This is an undeniable thing, most of the time in the long history of human evolution is fighting against nature, some people have learned to grow food, and slowly the killing instinct in the body of this group of people has been transformed, and some people have been engaged in hunting and killing on the grassland, and the killing factor contained in the natural genes has been retained, which is the difference between the grassland people and the farming people.

Of course, after the fusion of time, Zhao Zhen believes that he can modify the murderous genes in the bodies of these grassland peoples...... Let them integrate into the great unified dynasty, and Zhao Zhen himself wants to establish another great unified dynasty since the Han and Tang dynasties, and also build cities on the grassland, so that the nomads also enter the process of urbanization, Hu and Han intermarriage, Hu and Han trade, Hu and Han family!

Of course, all this is based on the strong prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, and only by completely conquering the Khitan people can they implement their own transformation plan, thinking of this, Zhao Zhen sighed slightly, in the final analysis, it is still better than fists!

In this era, no, it should be said that in any era, whoever has a hard fist is the boss, but when he has absolute power and power, the whole world is at his own disposal.

Looking at the prosperous streets of Xijin Mansion, Zhao Zhen smiled, now Xijin Mansion has been transformed by himself, isn't it? The goods from the Great Song Dynasty are of high quality and low price, and the goods that the people of Xijin Mansion need to spend a lot of money to buy are now available for a little money, and the sales volume has gone up so that the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty are also smiling from ear to ear, originally they thought that the price was low and they would not make much money, but they did not expect to earn more......

The changes in the economy are the most obvious, and the Khitan people in Xijin Province have also benefited, they have many people turned into farmers after the integration of time, and they are also good at cultivating the land, and the Han women are so soft and beautiful, they have completely captured the wild heart of the Khitan men, and the Khitan women are more vigorous, and they are also a very good match for the Han people, and intermarriage is nothing new in Xijin Province.

And culturally it is a lot of integration, Zhao Zhen has seen a lot of Song entertainment activities along the way are also very popular here, wrestling, bowing, willow shooting, rabbit shooting, playing Go and Shuanglu and so on are all liked by the Khitan and Han people, even poetry and poetry are also interconnected, which can be called unique.

Zhao Zhen saw the scene of the integration of the grassland peoples and the Central Plains peoples here, and strengthened his idea of ethnic integration, how powerful this power is, so that it unconsciously changed or eliminated the original estrangement!
