"Does His Majesty the Heavenly King plan to occupy the Lithuanian region for a long time and treat it as the 'homeland' of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, or does he plan to leave after harvesting a wave?" Zhang Juzheng replied calmly and solemnly.

"The climate of Lithuania is flat, and the plains are mostly very suitable for farming, it is a very good food logistics base, and it has abundant water sources and rivers, so I naturally hope to occupy this land for a long time as the homeland of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and firmly establish a foundation in Eastern Europe."

Hong Tiancheng replied in a slightly lazy tone.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty would like to ask a question, do you care about the lives of the alien natives? Or do you care about their demographic value? ”

Zhang Juzheng looked straight at him and asked calmly and solemnly.

"Huh?" Hong Tiancheng obviously didn't expect Zhang Juzheng to ask such a question abruptly, isn't he a prime minister who is good at regulating people's livelihood?

"I admit that I am a Han nationalist, and my opinion on other races is only at the stage of 'whether it is useful or not', and if the local foreign aborigines can bring me more benefits, I am naturally willing to spare their lives, on the contrary, I don't mind turning them into fertilizer for the land."

In front of Zhang Juzheng, who is at the diehard level, Hong Tiancheng seems very calm and has no reservations, which is also for Zhang Juzheng to better play his talents.

Since Zhang Juzheng asked this kind of question, it is obvious that Hong Tiancheng's preferences were taken into account in his plan, and his subordinates are so considerate of their intentions, Hong Tiancheng naturally will not pretend to be hypocritical.

"Since His Majesty the King of Heaven is so enlightened, then things have become very simple, if you want to occupy the Lithuanian region for a long time, or even turn it into a stable native of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the easiest and most efficient way is to 'Sinicize Lithuania', it will take at least a hundred years to complete the spiritual integration of a nation, it is obvious that the countries of Eastern Europe will not give us so much time, therefore, we can only complete the 'sinicization' physically.

And the current situation in the Lithuanian region just gives the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom a justifiable reason. ”

Hong Tiancheng's eyes froze after hearing this, he thought that Zhang Juzheng could say anything about the people's security policy, but this time he was really surprised.

"Zhang Juzheng, what do you mean ......?"

"Your Majesty, in order to form a sweeping trend as much as possible during the rise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, we have done monstrous disasters to the foreign civilians in Lithuania, and the separation of wives is no longer enough to describe the living conditions of the Lithuanian civilians who are now 'passing by' by the Taiping Army, in order to raise military funds, the Taiping Army has created dozens or hundreds of uninhabited villages, and even some prosperous towns have become 'ghost towns', these deeds are difficult for us to hide, not to mention that there are hostile forces around us who are constantly staring at us to 'break the news' and publicize them everywhere.

It can be said that our reputation in the Lithuanian region has become so bad that it cannot be worse! ”

Hong Tiancheng touched his nose with a strange face, and said in response to the question: "Zhang Juzheng, the tone of your voice now is similar to that of modern people in the 21st century......

Zhang Juzheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently after hearing this: "Your Majesty, I am not the Zhang Juzheng in history whose knowledge is limited, I have the memory of a citizen who has received all formal education in the 21st century, and the tone of my voice will naturally not stay in the ancient realm of 'sour Confucianism', and I can also keep pace with the times."

In addition, His Majesty comes from the modern society of the 21st century, and His Majesty feels that it is easier for us to communicate with each other in this way. ”

"Well, that's true, if you open and close your mouth to the Chinese, then I'll be hurt to hear it, you can tell me your plan specifically, as long as it works, I won't care how many aliens will die." Hong Tiancheng said in a soothing tone, Zhang Juzheng's rather modern way of talking really made him itch, and at the same time, Hong Tiancheng also knew why the characters produced by the system spoke in the same way as him, which was obviously a convenience provided to him by the all-out war system.

Even if our army does not make those tragic cases of raising military funds, it is difficult to truly integrate into the hearts of the local people to gain recognition, human beings have a natural hostility to the alternative that is different from their own appearance, therefore, His Majesty's approach from our standpoint is very correct, one will be a success, not to mention the life and property of a group of aliens, the essence of war is not plunder and enslavement?

Now that it has been done, we might as well do it more thoroughly, in fact, the European powers have been doing this, expelling and massacring the populations with large populations, merging and dissolving the peoples with small populations, and the history of European countries has always been carried out in this pattern, which is why most of the ancient peoples on the territory of the European continent have passed away.

As for the formation of the new nation, it was only established by some careerists or families themselves, for example, there were no Livonians, but after the rise of the Livonian Knights, their subjects became Livonians, and the so-called Russians, including how many conquered peoples, I am afraid that even their Tsar himself did not know.

The process of national integration has always been bloody and brutal, the life span of a country is too short and too short, and the only way to integrate the power of the ruling region as quickly as possible is to cut through the chaos with a quick knife!

If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom wanted to truly turn Lithuania into a mainland, it naturally had to expel or kill a large number of Lithuanians who did not recognize the Han Chinese. ”

"Zhang Juzheng, you say it bluntly, as long as it is beneficial to the kingdom of heaven, you are a meritorious man!" Hong Tiancheng replied seriously.

"Since ancient times, the main force of the rebel army has always been young and strong men, and the officials and slaves of the heavenly kingdom have a large number of young and strong men in order to undertake a lot of coolie labor, and these middle-aged men have been oppressed for a long time, and they may not give birth to chaos in peacetime and a strong army, but in case of rebellion within our army in foreign conquests, those who have a heart only need to lay down a few concentration camps where we keep officials and slaves in captivity, and the rebels will instantly obtain a large number of prime-aged male soldiers who have a deep blood feud with us!

In this era of crowd tactics, weapons of mass destruction are still far away, and the concentration camps all over Lithuania will not only disperse a large number of guarded Taiping troops, but also become a potential source of soldiers for the rebels. ”

The corners of Hong Tiancheng's eyes twitched slightly, and he said uncertainly: "You don't want Lithuanians to disappear from the land of Eastern Europe, that's a population of millions ......."
