Li Jinglong was probably quiet in his heart, and finally took out his folding fan and shook it, and said.

"In this way, as long as the concept of the nation-state dominated by the Han nation is established, then there will be no such arguments as Huayi and replacing China with Yi."

"That's it."

Jiang Xinghuo said affirmatively: "There is another advantage to the popularization of this theory. ”

Li Jinglong didn't answer, and Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly cooperated: "Mr. Jiang, please speak." ”

"That's the right to overseas hukou."

"Overseas, Hukou, Rights?"

I know all five words, and they don't seem to be too difficult to understand when combined.

"The power of overseas Ming people to register in the Fish Scale Book and the Yellow Book?" Zhu Gaoxu translated it literally.

Jiang Xinghuo nodded and said, "That's what it means." ”

"Colonization will inevitably lead to the emergence of a large number of overseas populations, and if the identity of these overseas populations cannot be solved, and only by forceful force to suppress them, then they will inevitably end up in the same fate as the Mongols."

"It can be as short as a few decades or as long as a hundred years, and as the strong force is corrupted and degenerated, the local population will swarm to overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the local area."

Li Jinglong nodded and said, "The truth is so, but how can it be solved?" As the so-called non-our race will have different hearts, even if they admit that they are also the people of the Ming Emperor, I am afraid that they will not be able to solve this problem. ”

Hearing this, the high-level decision-makers of the Ming Empire in the secret room also fell into deep thought.

The Mongols are the best example of this problem.

In addition to the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols established four major khanates in the west, namely the Golden Horde (Slavic Mongolia) that occupied the European region of Russia in later times, the Chagatai Khanate (Turkic Mongolia) that occupied the old land of Western Liao established by Yelu Dashi in the Song Dynasty, the Ilkhanate (green Mongolia) that occupied the Middle East and the South Caucasus, and the Ögedai Khanate which occupied the special corps region in later generations.

Except for the relatively short existence of the Ögedai Khanate, the other three khanates have existed for about 100 years, and the "Haidu Flipping" incident, which once appeared briefly in the "Currency Game: Simulating the Yuan Dynasty", refers to the historical event of the penultimate Great Khan of the Ögedai Khanate, the son of the Ogedai Khanate, and Haidu provoking the border of the Yuan Dynasty.

The Mongols conquered other regions, and the final result was not assimilation of foreign races, but assimilation of foreign races.

This point, from the most important military technology "armor" of the Mongols, can be seen in the leopard.

The Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty basically learned to inherit the heavy armor of the Tiefutu, Iron Harrier, and Beiwei Army (not the Yue Fei era) of the Jin, Xia, and Song Kingdoms, and the shape did not change much; The Mongols of the Golden Horde absorbed the plate armor technology of some Polish, Prussian and other knights, and developed an armor shape system with plate armor as the main and piercing armor as the supplement; The Mongols of the Ilkhanate partially abandoned the armor and turned to chain armor as the main and the armor as the auxiliary according to the local terrain, climate, enemy and other conditions, and even developed the corresponding armor of camel cavalry; The Mongols of the Chagatai Khanate pointed out a strange military technology tree similar to the Eight Banners of the later generations, but with a more Turkic sleeveless cloth armor and a tall helmet.

Zhu Di opened his mouth and said: "I am not worried that the Ming Dynasty will colonize and trade overseas, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will be assimilated by the locals. ”

Hearing the strings and knowing the elegant meaning, seeing that his father did not continue, Zhu Gaochi continued: "The reason why the Mongols will be assimilated is, in the final analysis, that the population of Mongolia is too small, and the local population is too large, not even one percent can be reached, and it only relies on the elite army for high-pressure rule, and after a few generations, the combat effectiveness of the army declines, so naturally it can only be combined with local forces, and it is gradually assimilated." ”

"But compared with the four great khanates of Mongolia, the Ming Dynasty can be described as a large population, although it has experienced the war and the battle of Jingjing at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and now there is indeed some population shortage at the beginning of the country, but Erchen believes that according to our Ming birth and raising habits, it does not need several generations, and in the future the Ming Dynasty must face more people and less land rather than less land and more people, so it is very meaningful to colonize overseas to reduce and alleviate the contradiction between people and land in the Ming Dynasty."

"What Your Majesty is worried about is that it is difficult for the locals to be assimilated by the Ming Dynasty." Gu Cheng glanced at Zhu Di and continued: "Or, if a large number of locals are assimilated, how should the Ming Dynasty manage these alien races." ”

"That's right, what General Gu said is what I'm worried about."

Zhu Di crossed his fingers and said slowly: "Da Ming naturally doesn't have to worry about being assimilated by the locals like the Mongols, but whether the locals are not well assimilated and always rebel, or a large number of scheming locals have obtained the identity of the Ming people, it is not necessarily a good thing." ”

After that, Zhu Di looked at Dao Yan.

Dao Yan just said simply: "The two tigers compete for food, and they use razing to control raze." ”

Gu Cheng then nodded, he also meant this.

Gu Cheng has been guarding Guizhou for 20 years, and to put it bluntly, this is the method he uses, and for the overseas toast that cannot be controlled at all, of course, Daming can only choose the restraint policy. And for the Tusi who can manage and do not have the strength to completely manage the territory, it is the old method of divide and rule, if anyone has signs of becoming bigger, then the Ming Dynasty will take the lead in sending troops and shoot them to death with a stick.

In the history of Jiang Xinghuo's previous life, this trick can be called a tried and tested trick when the Ming Dynasty had enough strength to deal with local forces.

For example, in the three major expeditions of Wanli, the battle of Banzhou in the rebellion of Yang Yinglong, the Tusi of Miao Territory.

The Yang clan of Banzhou ruled the local area for hundreds of years, and I did not move until the change of your dynasty, and in the era of Yang Yinglong, the annexation of the surrounding Tusi has become the strongest Tusi force in Miaojiang.

"In the city of raising horses, millions of heroes are the sun and the moon; The sea dragon is hoarded, and the town is half a heavenly town. ”

The invincible Emperor of Banzhou in the border Miao Frontier is crazy enough, right?

The same Daming Dynasty, who was reformed by Zhang Juzheng and returned to the light, simply piled up money, soldiers, and logistics.

Of course, this premise is that the military machine of the Ming Dynasty still has enough capabilities.

By the time the old slave's thirteen pairs of armor were raised, the Liaodong Army of the Ming Dynasty had already suffered a great injury in the anti-Japanese aid court.

Can the Liaodong Army erase the Jurchens? Can't erase it! You don't have the ability to know, do you?

As for the dispatch of the Central Army, there was a combination of the classics of the principals of later generations, and they were broken by the old slaves, that is another matter. Although from a tactical point of view, considering the problem of logistics and heavy supplies, there is nothing wrong with dividing and combining to knock down.

It's just that no matter how good the tactics formulated by the coach are, it is useless for the people on the court to intrigue and not execute them, and they all point to the last moment to shake off their teammates and rely on their teammates, and there will be ghosts if they can win.

Several high-level decision-makers of the Ming Empire in the secret room thought about it, but they didn't have any new ideas.

In the end, the conclusion was still the same as the old-fashioned, if you can't control it, you will be restrained, if you can control it, divide and conquer, and if you dare to blow up the stab, you will be shot to death.

"Export values."

Jiang Xinghuo gave a completely different and new way of solving the problem.

"Mr. Jiang, what do you mean by exporting values?" Zhu Gaoxu asked suspiciously.

"Speak simply, don't waste time in going into depth."

Jiang Xinghuo said: "I think people's ideological concepts are mainly composed of three viewpoints, that is, world view, outlook on life, and values. ”

"Worldview is how to look at the world, the vast majority of people now, the world in their eyes is only their own village, and even the village next door, for some ignorant people are completely different worlds, so they can't see the world outside their eyes, such as the towns and cities outside, let alone the whole Ming Dynasty, let alone the world outside the Ming Dynasty. In other words, the worldview of ordinary people is shaped by the patriarchal system and farming customs based on blood relations in the village, such as how to do it in the small world of the village. ”

The outlook on life refers to how a person views his/her life, or how to spend this life, most people have no time to think about these issues, because the busy farming makes them physically exhausted, and the spirit is also boring, so most of the people's outlook on life is to live their lives according to the life of most people. Of course, for those who have received education, it is natural to work hard to climb up, and then glorify their ancestors or make meritorious achievements. ”

As for values, it is the concept of people who recognize the value of things and judge right and wrong, in other words, whether I think this thing is valuable or not, and whether this thing is right or wrong. Values have a crucial impact on people's choices, under the same conditions, people with different values often make diametrically opposite choices in the face of one thing, for example, some people are willing to die for righteousness, some people feel that they are simply sick, which means that some people think that 'righteousness' is valuable, and 'sacrificing one's life for righteousness' is right. ”

After listening to Jiang Xinghuo's simple and straightforward explanation, Li Jinglong said thoughtfully.

That is to say, a person's worldview and outlook on life are actually determined by his growth environment and education level, and values have an important impact on people's choices.

"That's it."

"Then according to Mr. Jiang's words, what Daming wants to export to overseas people is the last 'value'?" Zhu Gaoxu then asked.

Jiang Xinghuo nodded and said: "Because a person's outlook on life and worldview is easy to stereotype with the environment in which they grow up and the degree of education, it is difficult to change when they reach adulthood, and values are different, values can be changed by nurture, especially 'interest-oriented values', which can easily distort and replace the original values and bring people to a new path." ”

"Jiang Lang, you might as well expand on what is called 'profit-oriented values', we won't feel like a waste of time." Li Jinglong said.

Several people in the secret room next door also pricked up their ears at this time.

They are all keenly aware that this is the key to how to avoid the mistakes of the Mongols and how to effectively manage the overseas population of the Ming Dynasty.

"Interest-oriented values refer to the values exported by Daming, which will make him feel that judging the value and right and wrong according to this set of values exported by Daming will bring him 'may' benefits that are much higher than the values he originally upheld."

"Can you give a chestnut?" Li Jinglong asked.

"Yes, let's take the example of the Japanese I just talked about." Jiang Xinghuo thought for a while and said, "For example, originally a Japanese, his values were that it was valuable to be loyal to the daimyo, it was valuable to follow the collective, and it was valuable to follow the strong to become stronger, and so on. ”

Zhu Gaoxu and Li Jinglong nodded, as they have said before, the geographical environment does shape these spiritual traits of the Japanese.

"So if the output values of the Ming Dynasty conflict with the original values of the Japanese in part, but they can really bring material and spiritual benefits, as long as he is a normal person, he will imperceptibly accept this new value that can bring him greater benefits in a long period of propaganda."

"For example, if the Ming Dynasty ruled Japan, the Ming Dynasty preached that people were equal, personal dependence was illegal, and the people only needed to be loyal to the emperor, then guess what the consequences would be?"

Li Jinglong thought for a while and said: "There are always people who are unwilling to cling to the original master, but they are forced to have no choice but or no other way out, if they are instilled like this, some people pick the head to lift their personal attachment, and others will surely be shaken After all, except for a few people, most people are still willing to live more comfortably, provided that their living conditions remain the same or become better rather than worse." ”

"For example, the propagandists of the Ming Dynasty should have the right to choose freely, and should not follow the collective in everything, they can choose which overseas colony they go to, and they can choose which city they go to work in, instead of being bound to the original collective land, guess what the consequences will be?"

Zhu Gaoxu said simply: "Then naturally how to be happy, as long as the trend gradually rises, more and more Japanese people will become less willing to be constrained by the collective." ”

"For example, although the Ming Dynasty is a nation-state dominated by the Han nation, it accepts the Siyi and joins, of course, there is a strict review process, and it must be a skill, and continue to create value for the Ming Dynasty, and identify with the values of the Ming Dynasty Overseas Yi people, can be regarded as the people of the Ming Dynasty after the sinicization. Then guess what's going to happen? ”

The two said in unison: "I am eager to join Daming!" ”

"That's it, understand?"

Jiang Xinghuo said with a smile: "This change of values will make him recognize himself as a Ming person from the bottom of his heart, so that he wants to work hard to become a Ming person, which is where the core interests of overseas hukou rights lie." ”

"And this premise is that, in his opinion, the Ming must be stronger, richer, and more civilized than the original country, which can bring him greater benefits, which are not limited to monetary wealth, but include status, psychological superiority, etc.

In fact, ideological colonization is the highest state of colonization, and military conquest is only the beginning.

This is also why the death of an old lady in the country can make tens of millions of former colonial people around the world, including Tianzhu, Hangkang and other regions that are now quite developed and have a high level of education per capita, cry bitterly.

A certain wood carving clay sculpture of the values of the spiritual world is shattered.

It was also the only solution to the aftermath of the Mongols' brutal military conquest.

"This is the best application of the inscription of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty."

Jiang Xinghuo said softly.

"Where the sun and the moon shine and the rivers go, they are all Han land, and the people of Han land are all Sinicized."

"Even if you go to the country for 100,000 miles, those who dare to offend me will be punished even if they are far away!"

"Class."

Those who commit me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away!

"Great!"

Gu Cheng's eyes were blazing and full of fighting spirit when he spoke.

As a generation of famous generals, even if he is old and has various minor problems in his body, he always has a raging flame burning in his heart.

Zhu Di and Gu Cheng glanced at each other, and the two soldiers, one old and one strong, saw the appreciation, excitement and enthusiasm in each other's eyes.

As the founder of the country, Gu Cheng is a well-deserved first-generation general of the Ming Dynasty, while Zhu Di is the strongest commander of the second generation of the Ming Dynasty and the person closest to the template of Tang Taizong.

Gu Cheng is now over 70 years old, but he still sticks to his duties and serves the country.

Decades ago, Gu Cheng had followed the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to defeat the Yuan Dynasty and drive the Mongol barbarians out of the Central Plains.

Jiang Xinghuo's theory completely aroused their empathy.

As a soldier, opening up the territory and expanding the territory allows the Ming Dynasty to enter the Han and Tang Dynasties, making them glorious.

As a Han Chinese, it is their lifelong desire to let the Han people never suffer humiliation again.

It is precisely because they have experienced being invaded and humiliated by foreign races that they understand how important it is for the Han people to become strong themselves.

And a strong Han nation-state must have sustained military merits and the ability to make blood!

Otherwise, it will be as Jiang Xinghuo said, but in a few generations, it will be reduced to the situation of Wen Tian and Wu Huan.

And the sea is undoubtedly the direction in which more wealth can be obtained, the contradiction between man and land can be alleviated, and the military meritorious service can be cultivated than the land!

Gu Cheng opened his mouth and said, "But Your Majesty, let Lao Chen say something you don't like to hear." ”

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Old General Gu, please speak." ”

"Daming wants to complete the strategic transformation and shift from land to sea, and Lao Chen thinks there is no problem."

"After all, the decline of the Mongols is inevitable, and the Mongolian plateau is indeed doomed to be unable to completely eradicate the nomads, as Jiang Xinghuo said."

"When you go to the West, you can not only obtain high trade benefits, but also continue to cultivate new military meritorious nobles."

"When Lao Chen was Emperor Taizu Gao's personal guard, once Emperor Taizu Gao once said to Lao Chen that the Ming Dynasty must not follow the old road of the Southern Song Dynasty!"

"The emperor is supreme, with civil officials on the left and military ministers on the right, and he must not lose his balance!"

"And to cultivate new military merits to the sea, the first battle is Japan."

"Japan must fight this battle, and it must be fought beautifully, the old minister suggested that His Majesty should choose more young third-generation generals of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is Zhang Yu's son Zhang Fu, or the second prince, they should be sent to experience. There has never been a reason for an eagle to grow into an eagle by hiding under its wings. ”

Gu Cheng's brows were tightened, and his eyes flickered: "But there is one thing Your Majesty must pay attention to, that is, naval warfare is by no means different from land warfare, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the largest water war is only the Battle of Poyang Lake with Chen Youliang, strictly speaking, it is a water war rather than a naval battle, in other words, the Ming Dynasty has no experience in large-scale naval battles." ”

Therefore, all aspects of Japan's intelligence, including how many ships and troops the army has, how well it is trained, how well it is equipped, how it is loaded, how it is distributed, how it relates to each other, and how its land and population are. It is necessary for Cao Guogong to find out clearly when he is on an envoy, and Cao Guogong's task is very arduous. ”

"However, the old minister is skeptical of Cao Guogong's ability!"

Gu Cheng said with a solemn face.

Although it is said that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty far exceeds that of Japan.

But here is Gu Cheng, the chief of the general staff with a loyal personality, the more information the better.

But can Cao Guogong Li Jinglong really complete this difficult task?

Zhu Di's eyes were deep, and he looked at the wall and said.

"I will personally go to the Nanjing dock to greet Cao Guogong, who has returned with honors."

"At that time, no matter whether it succeeds or not, all kinds of mustards with Cao Guogong in my heart will be written off."

Zhu Gaochi shuddered inexplicably.
