"On the other hand, if we just use force to conquer, even if we defeat an outsider, they will only leave behind hatred for us.”
He Kun explained his point of view, causing Da Qian's eyes to light up.
In his previous life, he and Kun had read an article on a Tieba forum that researched ancient literature.”.
Many history enthusiasts argued. After a thousand discussions, everyone finally decided that the fastest way to destroy a nation was cultural assimilation.
Imagine, if one day, even the culture and folk customs of a nation disappeared, wouldn't that mean that the nation had completely disappeared?
This was also the reason why all the countries in the later generations were more cautious about the cultural input of other countries.
Of course, there were exceptions, such as the Nine Provinces and Fusang, the Sun Never Sets and the United States.
There were some similarities between these four countries. For example, Fusang once sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to ask for words in Jiuzhou, and the United States was a colony of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets.
But in the end, these two countries were surpassed by the countries that learned their culture.
The Nine Provinces were the most miserable. They were almost destroyed by Fusang.
Sun Never Sets was not much better. His former little brother had finally become his big brother.
The reason for this was because the American Empire and Fusang were poor in culture at that time. They did not have a culture that belonged to their own people at all. By chance, they learned the culture of the Nine Provinces and the Sun Never Sets Empire, and to a certain extent, they integrated and developed their own culture.
However, because the Empire of the Sun Never Sets and the Nine Provinces did not attach much importance to these two countries, they had the time to develop and surpass them. They even had the opportunity to bite back at their masters.
They had inherited the culture of the first two countries and wanted to step on each other with the mentality of surpassing their master. That was why Fusang had attacked the Nine Provinces, its benefactor, several times.
Of course, the yellow-haired ghost from the Sun Never Sets Empire who was willing to be a lackey under his former underling did not count.
From this, it could be seen that in order for the cultural invasion to succeed, war was still needed as a supplement.
Da Qian's eyes lit up as he listened to He Kun's bragging. He felt that He Kun's words had opened a new door for him.
He Kun looked at Da Qian, who had been scared silly by him, and laughed in his heart."With my nearly ten years of experience in Tieba, I don't believe that I can't scare a seventeen or eighteen-year-old emperor like you.”
"I saw that in your answer to the question of using barbarians to subdue barbarians, do you think that small foreign countries are not trustworthy?”
Da Qian continued to ask He Kun.
"That's right, the small foreign countries have wild ambitions. Even if they were like the previous Ming Dynasty and submitted to their own country, it was only to obtain benefits. They would not sincerely submit to Phoenix Feather. Moreover, as far as I know, the small foreign countries around Phoenix Feather are all eyeing her like tigers eyeing their prey. They can't wait to bite off a piece of meat from her.”
During this period of time, he and Kun had been studying to understand the history of this world.
According to the history books he had read and the information he had gathered from Cao Rui, the history of Phoenix Feather in this world was almost the same as what he knew. The Qin and Han Dynasties, the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Song and Ming Dynasties, and the Yuan and Ming Dynasties were almost the same as what he knew.
However, in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, there was a deviation.
The Qing army was not sent to the Central Plains by Liu Sanxi. There was no such person as Liu Sanxi in this world. The Phoenix Feather Army had used a hundred thousand troops to invade the Central Plains.
Back then, the Ming Dynasty was weak, but Li Zicheng had not invaded the capital yet. The battle between the Phoenix Army and the Ming Army had consumed too much of their military strength. Although the Phoenix Army had won the world in the end, they had also suffered a great loss.
It was not easy for them to control the world. The three emperors of Shunzhi, Kangxi, and Yongzheng had been recuperating and consolidating the control of the royal family of Phoenix Feather over the various parts of the country, let alone the small countries around Phoenix Feather.
"Then what do you think I should do?”
Da Qian looked at He Kun and asked.
"He advocated for self-cultivation internally, recovering the strength of the people, and using troops against the Mongol Empire. He won with lightning speed, shocking the surrounding small countries and Long Hair in the north.”
He Kun expressed his thoughts.
"I also know that we have to use troops against Mongolia, but…sigh! A slight change in one hair would affect the whole body, not to mention that the court was not stable now. It was difficult to predict the fate of using troops now.”
Da Qian sighed.
He Kun immediately understood what Da Qian meant.
Now that Tutu, Ao Gui, Nalan Zhuming, Long Duo, and other powerful officials were restraining the royal court, the power that Great Gan could control was limited. If he were to rashly start a battle, he would not be able to bear any changes.
"Hey!"
He Kun sighed. He knew that for those in power, the most worrying thing was that when there were external enemies, there would still be internal instability.
After chatting with He Kun for a long time, Da Qian admired He Kun even more.
After hesitating for a moment, he said to Wu Shulai, who was standing beside him,""Shu, go get a gold medal and give it to He Kun.”
Wu Shulai instantly understood what the gold medal was. He was shocked and wanted to say,""Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to give He Kun the golden medal that allows him to enter and leave the palace freely.”
However, thinking of his identity, it seemed a little inappropriate to say it out loud, so he could only turn around and go get the gold medal.# Date:09 30 2019 6:29PM
