As soon as Meng Tian's words came out, the civil and military officials in the hall fell silent one after another.

Because what Meng Tian said is indeed helplessness in reality. The Xiongnu were nomadic people, they had no cities, no houses, lived on horseback all year round, and roamed around the grasslands.

If you send a great army against them, and they can fight, they will fight, and if they cannot, they will flee, and you will have nothing to do with them.

This is why, after Meng Tian drove them out of the Hetao area before, he did not continue to attack the Xiongnu, because it was futile to continue to attack and pursue.

Could it be that the Qin army could always stay in the northernmost bitter cold land thousands of miles away?

Not only could the grain and grass not be transported, but even if the grain and grass could be guaranteed, no one in the Qin army was willing to suffer this kind of suffering.

Moreover, the grassland is vast and boundless, even if the Qin army is guarding the north, you can't guarantee whether the Xiongnu army that fled a moment ago has entered the grassland from other places.

Therefore, there is no way to fight, there is no way to defend, there is only one way to drive.

For this point, in fact, Ying Zheng is also very clear and very helpless, otherwise, with his domineering spirit, he would have let Meng Tian wipe out the Xiongnu, Donghu, Yueshi, Chao and other nomads all at once.

The reason why these nomads are still active on the border of Great Qin is because they are completely mobile, and you can't destroy them.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Shi Huang will not hesitate to work the people and lose money to build the Great Wall with the strength of the whole country.

Because only by building the Great Wall can we stop the harassment and invasion of these nomads.

As a traverser, Li Yang knew that in later generations, many people felt that the role of the Great Wall was not great, but in fact, it was entirely because of the modern technology of later generations, which caused many people in later generations to underestimate the role of the Great Wall.

In fact, the Great Wall for China, can be said to be a great contribution, it not only affects the pattern of our country, but also affects the pattern of the world, and even many Europeans hate Qin Shi Huang.

We know that because of the growth of the population, the nomads are unable to support themselves, so they will inevitably invade and plunder.

However, due to the existence of the Great Wall, many nomads were isolated and could not enter China to plunder the grain of the cultivated people. But their survival had to go on, and as a last resort, they had to go westward, so that European countries welcomed a lot of foreign population.

According to historical records, the Xiongnu, Turkic, Rouran, Mongol and other large steppe empires, as well as many unknown small tribes, attacked Europe wave after wave, making the European people miserable. Therefore, the existence of the Great Wall can be said to have indirectly affected the pattern of the entire Eurasian continent and even the world.

As for our country, although there are still frequent invasions of nomads, that doesn't mean that the Great Wall is useless.

In fact, he succeeded in blocking a large part of the nomads, otherwise China would have been invaded by an unimaginably large number of nomads.

After having the Great Wall, if the nomads want to invade the Central Plains, they must go around a big circle, which makes some nomads who can't afford the price give up, and when the Central Plains is strong, it is even more broken that the nomads have no idea.

Therefore, the credit of the Great Wall is very large, and it has largely protected China's agricultural civilization, which is the credit of Qin Shi Huang.

The Xiongnu could not be destroyed, this matter forced Qin Shi Huang to the point of building the Great Wall to defend, let me ask, who will have a countermeasure in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, for a while, it was relatively speechless.

Ying Zheng also sighed: "If you want to completely destroy the Xiongnu and get rid of the hidden danger in the north, it seems that it is impossible to do it now." ”

Meng Tian nodded: "That's true!" ”

"Li Yang, others often praise you, saying that you are wise and resourceful, and you usually have endless ghost ideas, can't you think of a way this time?" Seeing that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had no idea, Yingzheng turned his head to look at Li Yang.

In fact, this problem is also very difficult for Li Yang to come up with a suitable strategy.

If the countermeasures were so easy to think of, how could Qin Shi Huang be forced to the point of building the Great Wall?

Throughout history, even in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the power of the Han Dynasty was exerted, but it only drove the Xiongnu out of Mobei, and could not really destroy the Xiongnu.

Therefore, as a traverser, Li Yang knows very well that no matter how powerful the Qin army is, it will never be possible to wipe out the nomads.

Other than that, there are only two options left, either drive away or assimilate.

Thinking of this, Li Yang replied: "Back to Your Majesty, to destroy the Huns, it is not necessarily to kill them, but also to assimilate them." ”

"Assimilation?"

When Ying Zheng heard this, his brows furrowed, and he was very puzzled.

Everyone is also very curious, what does Li Yang's so-called assimilation mean?

"That's right, assimilation!"

Li Yang nodded confidently, seeing that everyone seemed puzzled, and then explained: "The so-called assimilation is to integrate them into our Chinese nation, and under the huge cultural and demographic advantages of our Chinese people, let the primitive characteristics of the frontier nomads, whether it be culture or blood, gradually fade, let them gradually integrate with us in this melting pot of the Chinese nation, and gradually blur their national boundaries." As a result, there were no Xiongnu on the grassland, and some were only the people of Great Qin. ”

"Fusion? Assimilation? ”

Suddenly, everyone was stunned by Li Yang's unprecedented, unheard-of novel strategy.

All of a sudden, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fell into contemplation and were silent for a long time.

Ying Zheng also frowned, pondering Li Yang's so-called strategy of assimilation and integration.

On the Qilin Palace, there was a lot of hard contemplation.

Some people, for a while, are puzzled again, seem to be subtle for a while, and look embarrassed for a while. In short, the expressions of the ministers in the Qilin Hall were quite complicated.

After a while, Ying Zheng still seemed to be puzzled, and questioned: "Although this strategy is wonderful, if it can really integrate the Xiongnu nomads and my Great Qin Huaxia people into one, it will naturally be great, but ...... Can it be assimilated and fused? ”

Everyone was also worried about this and was not optimistic, so they all looked at Li Yang.

Li Yang nodded confidently: "Your Majesty, what kind of existence does my Chinese nation have?" What is the existence of the culture of our Chinese nation? It is not an exaggeration to say that we represent the highest civilization in the world. As long as the foreign races are put into the melting pot of the Chinese nation, it is easy to assimilate and integrate them. If you don't believe it, you see that Baiyue, who is also a Yi people, has only been five years now, and has already merged with our Chinese nation. ”

"What's more, the Xiongnu 'nomads' themselves have a variety of different bloodlines, and are composed of various tribes of all sizes on the grassland, and the so-called Xiongnu is not the name of a nation, but the name of the tribal boss. Moreover, why did they risk their lives to invade and plunder our Great Qin? It's not about survival yet. As long as I, Daqin, can give them a peaceful life and let them not suffer from hunger and cold, how can they not want to integrate into my Chinese nation? ”

While saying this, Li Yang thought of the grassland compatriots in later generations, although their ancestors were also nomads, but Li Yang regarded them as a Chinese family.

In the final analysis, what Li Yang wants to destroy is not the nomads, but the Xiongnu tribe. This is like the same reason that Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms.

It is not the people of the Six Nations who want to be destroyed, but the political organizations of the Six Nations that are to be destroyed.

It's just that the tribal organization of the Xiongnu, unlike the six countries of the Central Plains, can be destroyed as long as they attack the city. The Xiongnu is a tribal organization, it can walk and move, so it is difficult to attack and destroy like the destruction of the Six Kingdoms.

Since the Xiongnu tribe cannot be destroyed as a political organization, then directly assimilate and integrate their people.

Even the people on the grassland have been assimilated and integrated into the Chinese one, let me ask, will there be a Xiongnu tribe on this grassland?

As a traverser, Li Yangke is very clear.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Central Plains has been constantly fighting against nomads.

The same is true of the Qin and Han dynasties.

It can be said that the war between the Central Plains and the nomads has lasted for about 2,000 years and has never stopped.

During this period, whether it was the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, or the Tang Dynasty, no matter how strong your national strength was, almost all of them could not completely solve the problem of nomads.

This situation lasted until the Qing Dynasty, and finally ...... However, the Qing Dynasty was a great plague of nomads that lasted for thousands of years and was completely eradicated. Since then, the Republic of China, New China, and the nomads have become one with the Central Plains peoples and become a family.

How did the Qing Dynasty do it?

It's just four words: assimilation, integration.

To put it mildly, even the Jurchen people who established the Qing Dynasty themselves were assimilated and integrated by the Han people.

After countless dynasties, all the problems that could not be solved by force, or with all the strength of the country, were finally completely solved without a single soldier. This may be something that all the emperors of all dynasties before the Qing Dynasty would never have dreamed of.

To be honest, this is indeed a great achievement of the Qing Dynasty.

It is precisely because he knows the 2,000-year-old history of China that Li Yang is very sure that the only way to completely solve the nomadic people is to rely on assimilation and ethnic integration.

Because the grassland is so big, there will always be people. Today there will be the Xiongnu, tomorrow there will be Donghu, and the day after tomorrow there will be other nomads from other places, and you will never be able to kill them all, and you will never be able to kill them all. Only assimilation and integration can be achieved, come one, integrate one, come to a group, I will merge a group, I will make you one of the Chinese nation.

Don't you love to fight, don't you love to ride and shoot? Then join the army, join the Qin army, make meritorious contributions, and go on an expedition to Europe for "our" Qin State, and rule the world together!
