"General Li Jing, generals, you should know that on the grassland, the reason why there are so many nomads, after the Huns, there are Wuhuan people, Xianbei people, and now there are Turkic people. After that, it is not known what ethnic groups there are, so generally speaking, this kind of wildfire is inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows. If we don't find a way to solve this problem once and for all, we will probably be threatened by the Turks for generations. Therefore, this problem must be solved, otherwise we will only belong to temporary tranquility in the future, and it is impossible to have permanent tranquility. ”

"The Turks have also tried to incorporate the steppe into the country, but they have always given up because the steppe has not had much benefit. In fact, there are many benefits in the grassland that no one has discovered. Take our milk and goat's milk as an example, if we can have a grassland in Datang, then there are many more people who can afford to drink dairy products. Now that we trade with the Turks, we will definitely be exploited by the Turks. If we can occupy the grassland in the future, then we can get cow and goat milk at a very low price. This is the benefit, and there are many benefits, all of which are there. As long as you find out and look carefully, you can find a lot of benefits. ”

Li Jing thought about it for a while, the development and occupation of the grassland by the past dynasties were all finally given up because there was no benefit. Because of a grassland, it was impossible for the Han people to occupy it, so they naturally gave up, and they just expelled the nomads to Mobei. But within a few years, the nomads came back again, so it was a big headache. However, if the Han people can gain benefits in the grassland, then the chances of occupying the grassland will be greatly increased. Because the imperial court invested more in this, the success rate of the occupation was also very high.

"However, the Turks have different habits and languages from us, so how can we rule them? Another reason why the steppes were not completely occupied in the past is because the living habits and languages of the Turks are different, so we are not able to occupy the steppes. "Someone said it right away.

But Jingwen retorted again: "This kind of language and living habits are a problem. That's all changeable. At that time, there were many people who integrated into our China, and even Jin Riyan during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also a famous auxiliary minister. Also, now there are many surnames that were integrated into our Han people by the Hu people back then. Therefore, the Hu people can be integrated into the Han people, and everyone should be able to understand this. And we can exterminate the civilization of the Turks, that is, the civilization of the steppes, so that they can live like us and speak the same language as us, so that the Turks can be completely conquered. ”

Everyone is pondering the possibility of this approach, if it can solve this problem. I'm afraid that the Turks will be completely sinicized. Once the Turkic people are sinicized, are they still Turks? Everyone can't help but think of the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and those Hu people were all sinicized into Han people, so in the end, they can't see any Hu people now. However, the only difference now is that in the past, the Hu people took the initiative to sinicize, and the Han people did not take the initiative to influence the Hu people. If this kind of sinicization of Hu people is regarded as an important policy, then I'm afraid it's still okay.

"Then it's not that easy. It would be very difficult for a people to give up their language. I'm afraid, it's not just a matter of talking! Li Jing said.

Jingwen immediately said: "I am not convinced." Then we can fight them to the position of convincing, as long as we use force to convince them, then they may have to learn Chinese. I had to live according to the life of the Han people. ”

Jing Wen knows very well that killing by force can make a nation give up its habits. Without strong force, it is impossible to force a people to abandon its habits. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchus also relied on massacres to force the Han people to shave their hair and change their clothes. And then finally let the Manchus rule? This is the Han nationality, but it is the most stubborn ethnic group for its own national habits. After the Han people went abroad, even after hundreds of years. It still completely retains its own national customs, and even the Jews, who are the most difficult to assimilate, have been assimilated by the Han Chinese. However, the Manchus actually relied on massacres to change some of the Han people's habits, although in the end the Manchus all spoke Chinese, but they used guò killing to force the Han people to shave their hair and change clothes, and successfully changed some of them. Although not all of them have changed, some of them have been changed enough to show that force can make a nation abandon some of its national habits.

Since the Han Chinese were able to abandon their national habits under strong pressure, it was naturally easier for nomads like the Turks. As long as they were properly induced, and under strong pressure, they had to abandon their national habits. Therefore, Jingwen can say with certainty that nomads are actually more likely to give up their national attributes than Han Chinese. As long as the Han Chinese can maintain sufficient force, and then add the right policy, then the Turkic people and even more Hu people can be completely sinicized.

"Do you mean that you support General Li Ji, fight steadily, and defeat the main force of the Turks, so that the Turks know that we are powerful, so that they can honestly obey us?" Li Jing asked.

Jingwen also said helplessly: "Yes! If we just capture that old boy from Jieli, but once the other Turkic nobles surrender, can we deprive them of their tribe? If we don't exert all our strength to defeat the Turkic system of superiority and inferiority, then the Turks will still remain under the tribal leaders of the past, so how can we truly conquer the Turks? So, it is appropriate to come up with some big tribal prestige. This is when we show force, so that the Turks simply cannot have the courage to confront us. If they just catch Jieli, they only need to change a leader in the future, and the new leader may not have such a painful pain as Jieli, but will still think of rebelling against the Tang Dynasty. Only when the entire Turkic people feel the pain of the skin can they be regarded as having complete merit, and the Turks have been eliminated. ”

"I'm afraid the emperor will have to make a decision himself, I will send the news to the emperor, let the emperor decide! There are so many things that need to be consumed this time, I'm afraid that the whole operation will almost have to change, otherwise we simply won't be able to do this. And the end has to be dealt with by people in the court. Li Jing said. (To be continued......)
