"Turning dogs into people? Xia Hongsheng, this is above the court, don't let go of nonsense! Hearing Xia Hongsheng's words, Wei Zheng hurriedly spoke first: "Your Majesty, this son has the permission of His Majesty, and he hasn't been in court for a long time, I'm afraid that he hasn't woken up yet, and he will talk in his dreams!" ”

Look, this is the advantage of Ben Gongzi being able to deal with people. This Manchu Dynasty civil and military, except for Ben Gongzi, who can let Wei Zheng give cover?

Knowing Wei Zheng's kindness, Xia Hongsheng smiled at Wei Zheng, and then looked at Li Shimin, who was staring at him with a pale face, and almost wrote a sentence on his face, "If you talk nonsense, I want you to look good", and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why a dog bites people is precisely because it is a dog, and we are people." This is called a race other than mine, and its heart will be different. The Turks are like the dogs, and we are the ones who are bitten by the dogs. Although the dog is not very good, let's fight one by one. But that's a bit of a hassle, isn't it? But if the dog becomes a human, then it is the same race and the same clan, isn't it my race, and its heart is not different? ”

"What does Xia Qing mean ......" Li Shimin frowned, as if he had some understanding, but he couldn't understand the specific things.

"Your Majesty, what Weichen means is that the reason why those nomads have repeatedly refused to change, even if they are beaten badly, or no matter how great the kindness they are given, they will not be able to escape the result of invading the Central Plains in the end, is precisely because we are Han Chinese, and they are Turkic." Xia Hongsheng explained to Li Shimin: "Weichen's idea is to turn the Turks into Han Chinese!" ”

But when Li Baiyao heard this, he smiled and said: "It seems that Xiahou and the old man's views coincide. ”

Fart! Xia Hongsheng looked at him, shook his head with a smile, and asked, "Lord Li, don't you dare to ask Lord Li, can you turn the Turkic people into Han people by mixing them with the Han people and letting them cultivate and prevent them?" ”

Xia Qing said in detail. Li Shimin knew that Xia Hongsheng's meaning was definitely not so simple, so he said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xia Hongsheng bowed and replied, "Actually, this idea was told to His Majesty a long time ago. Your Majesty still remembers when Wei Chen told His Majesty about economic warfare and mentioned a cultural war? At that time, Weichen told His Majesty that if he wanted to completely control the Turks, he would have to wage economic and cultural warfare against them. In the past few years, we have been waging economic warfare against the Turks through grain, tea, silk and other things, controlling the economic lifeline of the Turks, so that the Turks could not get what they urgently needed when they encountered severe cold, causing the Turks to pay a great price. And now is the way to turn the Turks into Han Chinese, and this is the time for this culture war to begin. ”

"Cultural warfare ......" Li Shimin pondered, and after a while, Li Shimin suddenly raised his head and said: "I remember, when Xia Qing asked me, Qin unified the six countries, and then ordered the cars to be on the same track, the books to be the same, and the lines to be the same, why is this?" I replied that it was to consolidate the unity of the world, and that at that time the six kingdoms were divided and used different scripts, and that the First Emperor, in order to facilitate the rule of the people of the six kingdoms, issued an edict of the same text, and these instructions were all so that he could maintain control over the people of the six kingdoms. Xia Qing meant, could it be that he wanted to make the Turks learn the Han system and practice the Han law? ”

"Exactly!" Xia Hongsheng nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why different nationalities are different is precisely because of his traditional customs, his way of speaking and doing things, his way of thinking, the way he thinks about problems, his way of solving problems, his clothing and decoration, and his food and clothing...... All the things that he has followed since he was a child, from ancient times to the present day, are all part of his culture. Different cultures determine different nationalities and different people. Your Majesty, it was decided that it was a Turkic, a Xueyantuo, a Uighur, a Goryeo, and it was never the blood in his body, but the culture in which he lived. Suppose a person from Chang'an City, since he was born, has been in Turkic, learning Turkic dialect, eating Turkic food, writing Turkic characters, living a Turkic life, and abiding by Turkic customs, can such a person be called a person of the Han and Tang Dynasties? ”

"This ...... Naturally, it can't be counted......"

"Your Majesty, Weichen invites Your Majesty to carry out cultural domination over the Turks and realize cultural hegemony over the Turks!" Xia Hongsheng bowed down and said to Li Shimin.

"Cultural domination?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

"The so-called cultural domination is, simply put, the act of subjugation of a country or nation over another country or another nation through cultural and ideological transformation." Xia Hongsheng explained: "The conquest of a person's body, even if it kills him, enslaves him, or is kind to him, is only his body. And his heart, his thoughts, are still the original Turks. True conquest is complete from the inside out. For the Turks, it is not only necessary to defeat them, but also to defeat the Turkic culture culturally, so that the culture of the Tang Dynasty can replace the Turkic culture. ”

"Xiahou means to make the Turks a Han inside. Let what he thinks, write, and say become what a Han person should think, write, and say, and in this way, the Turkic people will become Han people. Wei Zheng seemed to understand what Xia Hongsheng meant, and said with a smile.

Xia Hongsheng nodded and continued: "The elimination of a nation is not to kill all the people of this nation, but to disintegrate the culture of this nation. Now that we have defeated the Turks and occupied their lands and populations, we should not leave after they have surrendered. We should keep that land firmly in control, leave the soldiers, leave the merchants, leave our culture. We want to open a school there, and all Turkic people, regardless of men, women, and children, must learn our language, learn our culture, the way of Confucius and Mencius, the words of gentlemen, and all the sons and hundreds of schools must be taught to them, and it is forbidden to have Turkic dialects sounded in that land, even if the Turks talk to each other, they must also use the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty. All the Turkic descendants, since childhood, as soon as they are born, will be educated by us, from childhood they speak the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty, learn the words of Confucius and Mencius, and cultivate the loyalty and patriotism of the monarch -- this country is naturally our Tang Dynasty -- the education they received since childhood, and the concept they established is that they are also a member of the Tang Dynasty. In this way, after a few generations, there will be only the Tang Dynasty in that land, and there will be no Turks, no more Turkic speakers, no more people will write Turkic scripts, and no one will ever distinguish between Tang and Turkic people. The Han people are Tang people, and the Turkic people are also Tang people, and it is this concept that they have accepted since childhood, and they no longer know what the Turks are! In this way, the Turkic nation is gone, and some are just some Han people whose appearance is somewhat different from that of the Central Plains! And the Turkic land is just ordinary, and the ordinary of the Tang Dynasty is just a road. Not only the Turks, but also Xue Yantuo and Tuyuhun...... All foreign races, we can rule them culturally like this, sinicize them, and finally integrate them into one, there is no one in the world, there is no one in the world, there is no one of this race, that race, and all of them are my Tang people! ”

The Chinese military officials of the dynasty were all stunned when they heard this, and the person depicted by Xia Hongsheng was extremely grand, which made them stunned. (To be continued.) )
