Chapter 650: Hebang (Second Update)

If it is said that after the first year of Kaihong, the affairs of the central departments are the most complicated. www.biquge.info I am afraid that the Ministry of the Interior, from the restoration and governance of Mongolia, to the governance of Tibet and the management of vassals, and even the management of the colonies, everything was initially concentrated in the Ministry of the Interior.

The integration of Manchu and Mongolia for more than 200 years made it possible for some Mongolian princes to break away from the rule of the empire after the first year of Kaihong. In the face of this situation, the central center almost did not hesitate to decide to set up a province in Mongolia, this matter dragged on for four years, in order to stabilize Mongolia, and even sent more than 30,000 troops stationed in various parts of Mongolia, before and after the consumption of tens of millions of yuan in military supplies, even after the establishment of the province, in order to fear Mongolia, the Ministry of the Interior sent more than 3,000 mounted police to Mongolia, and deployed police forces at all levels in the five newly established provinces of Mongolia, in Mongolia a police officer manages an average of 347 people, while in the interior, a police officer needs to manage 2,919 people, In this way, it can be seen that the Ministry of the Interior maintained a high-pressure posture against Mongolian rule, and even built a railway to Kulen during the period, which was not done by the first Minister of the Interior after several illnesses.

Zeng Guofan had just taken over as Minister of the Interior, and he had been on the throne for less than a year, and he was so happy that he couldn't say it. However, after the first year of Kaihong was exempted from the whole country's money and grain, the news of a bumper harvest in the world came one after another, with the rice in Liangjiang ripening, Huguang wheat and rice ripening, and the cotton and wheat harvests in Shandong and Shanxi...... All the news came one after another, and the newspapers were full of the "voices of the saints" of the people. Of course, in addition to "praising the saints", he, the Minister of the Interior, naturally followed the light, and then enjoyed the praise and praise of the outside world, after all, he is the Minister of the Interior, although the world is familiar with the Ministry of the Interior, but after all, the Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior is in charge of the country's police affairs, and has a direct relationship with the "national peace and security".

"The ministry plans to complete the plan of Japan, Korea, Ryukyu and Vietnam to be listed as imperial provinces in at least 15 years, and if all goes well, in the 15th year of Kaihong, the Ryukyu Shang clan will first propose to be included in the Chinese provinces, and at that time it will be divided into provinces together with Taiwan, and after the establishment of the Ryukyu provinces, the Korean scholars will petition for the establishment of a province 17 years ago......"

For Zeng Guofan, as the Minister of the Interior, with the calm of Mongolia, the focus of the work of the Ministry of the Interior is now shifting, in the past, Xinjiang and Mongolia were the primary tasks of the Ministry of the Interior, and from now on, "the establishment of a province in China" is the primary task of the Ministry of the Interior.

The so-called "Hua Domain" refers to the four feudal domains of Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and the Ryukyus, which were influenced by "Confucian culture" and used Chinese characters as the written language, and they had the highest status among all the feudal states, and only the common people of these four feudal domains could obtain the status of "Honorary Chinese" in the colonies.

Of course, the importance attached to the four feudatories is not only culturally influenced by Chinese culture, but also by blood, after all, whether it is Xunzi Joseon, Zhao Tuo, Vietnam, or Xu Fu Japan, it all means that a considerable part of their bloodline is of Chinese origin.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhu Yifeng advocated the annexation of the four feudatories to China, of course, this is only a blood kinship, and a more important reason is that Zhu Yifeng is not willing to have any neighbors around China that may threaten China in the future, such as Japan.

As for Vietnam...... Of course, the more important point is that in 1858, Vietnam's population was only 8 million, and even including Laos and Cambodia, the population did not exceed 10 million, which is a typical area suitable for immigration, and in the past six years, more than 2 million people have migrated to Vietnam from Liangguang and other places, and now Vietnam's population composition is undergoing fundamental changes.

"Fifteen Years ......"

Zeng Guofan's plan made Zhu Yifeng ponder for a moment, and then shook his head and said.

"Fifteen years is too short, for the establishment of provinces in three places, don't be too anxious, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I think it can take twenty years."

Thinking that in another time and space, Japan's colonial rule of Korea and France's colonial rule of Vietnam should be slowly assimilated rather than eager to establish provinces.

"In the next fifteen years, what we need to do is to completely abolish the writing of the Three Kingdoms...... It is the foundation of culture! ”

However, when mentioning the words that want to destroy the Three Kingdoms, Zhu Yifeng couldn't help but smile, this kind of laughter is both proud and self-deprecating, proud that the mainstream script of the Three Kingdoms is not that they have a script in their own country, but Chinese characters. For example, the so-called "Xunmin Zhengyin" in North Korea was banned by the Korean scholars themselves, and in the 400 years since its invention, Korean scholars and doctors have always respected Chinese characters, and generally resisted this so-called "Korean script" and even extremely disgusted with it. And in Vietnam, the Vietnamese invented the "murmur character" on the basis of Chinese characters, although the Tay Son Dynasty in Vietnamese history had set it as the "official language", but the Vietnamese scholars still learn "Confucian characters", that is, Chinese characters, they are also resistant to "murmur characters", as for Japan, and North Korea, Vietnam, Chinese characters are popular among the upper class, and the scholars of the Three Kingdoms can not "train the people to be in the right sound", "Han fake script", "murmur characters", but if they do not know Chinese, not only can they not move an inch, but they can not even understand their own books. Their books are more printed entirely in Chinese characters.

Zhu Yifeng naturally felt proud of the people of the Three Kingdoms who came from their bones to "respect Chinese characters and abandon their own languages", and thinking of another time and space, the Three Kingdoms abandoned Chinese characters one after another, which also made him feel a little embarrassed. The export of culture is backed by national strength, and without national strength as the backing, even a thousand-year-old student will not only abandon what he has learned in the end, but even turn against China. Japan, Vietnam are proof, as for North Korea...... Well, they're just paying lip service to trying to get everything Chinese on them, but that doesn't seem wrong -- because North Korea is historically Chinese!

In another world, they used to "turn their backs on China and stand on their own", and in this world, they must become the province of China, and as for what those Goryeo sticks want to say in the future, "This is theirs, that is theirs", let them say, anyway, "North Korea is Chinese"!

But then again, when the time comes, will there still be North Koreans?

There is no North Korea in the world, and naturally there are no North Koreans!

His Majesty's chuckle fell in Zeng Guofan's eyes, although he was a little unclear, but he could still feel that His Majesty seemed to be in a good mood today, no wonder, after all, the current battle situation is going well, and victory can be said to be just around the corner.

"Well, cultural identity, this is very important, the Ministry of the Interior can coordinate with the Ministry of Education, doesn't the Ministry of Education have a plan to train 5 million teachers in 10 years? Well, I thought that this could be appropriately biased towards the Three Kingdoms, and that they should allocate 600,000 teachers in terms of population, and I thought that they would not have to wait ten years, but should establish an imperial education system in the Three Kingdoms as quickly as possible, and only through education could they be willing to become subjects of the Empire......"

"Cultivating 5 million teachers in 10 years" is a plan formulated by the Ministry of Education five years ago, and the core of the plan is to establish a complete modern education system in China, and teachers are the top priority of all work, and the role of education Zhu Yifeng is naturally very clear.

Just like Japan's colonial rule over Taiwan, it was just more than 20 years of "imperial education" that made millions of young people in Taiwan feel as sad as the Japanese and disappointed by the "defeat" on the day Japan surrendered.

Compared with Japan's "imperial education" in Taiwan and Korea, China now has at least 100 years to implement "subject education" in the three places, which can allow them to completely integrate into China and become a part of China in a few generations.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

There are some habits that cannot be changed even now, just like Zeng Guofan, when he agrees with His Majesty's opinion, it is always just such a sentence, and sometimes, such a sentence is enough. Later, Zeng Guofan mentioned the issue of surnames.

“…… Whether it is Japan or Vietnam, many civilians do not have surnames, especially in Japan, except for the scholars, ordinary civilians have no surnames at all, and they have no surnames, this is because Japanese laws and regulations do not allow civilians to have surnames, but this is obviously not conducive to the promotion of education, nor is it conducive to the management of feudal domains, so the ministers think that for the needs of future conscription, taxation, household registration, etc., commoners should be allowed to have surnames, and this surname can be given to the feudal lords by His Majesty, and the common people can be allowed to choose their surnames freely, of courseThe surname must be Chinese, not Japanese or Vietnamese. ”

As soon as Zeng Guofan's suggestion came out, Zhu Yifeng's mind immediately came up with the idea of "changing the surname of the Korean family" -- a decree issued by Japan to change the Korean name to the Japanese name. According to that decree, Koreans could change their Japanese names to their Japanese names at will, and they were paid a certain amount. After all, for thousands of years, "giving surnames" has been a method to win people's hearts in China, from emperors to ordinary rich people, they are used to using this set to win people's hearts. For example, the famous national surname is not rewarded by the emperor.

"Well, that's a good suggestion, well, for those feudal lords you can give your surname,"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Yifeng immediately thought of the "national surname" given to the "barbarians" by the emperors of the Han and Tang dynasties.

"However, the surname cannot be arbitrary, otherwise they will not feel that the national surname is noble, this scale Zeng Qing you have to grasp well, let them know that being able to give the national surname is a good thing that their ancestors only got after they appeared and burned high incense......"

After giving Zeng Guofan some advice on the matter of giving his surname, Zhu Yifeng finally asked.

"How's going on with the North American company now? Is there any big change? ”
