Chapter 1254 Zhao Qian wants to assimilate the natives

After hearing the captive's words, the expression on Zhao Qian's face changed significantly.

Zhao Qian said to the prisoners: "We are conquerors, so isn't it natural for us to rule you?"

After hearing this, the captive sneered again on his face and said, "Of course you can rule us, and of course we can resist. Isn't this a natural thing?"

After listening to this rhetorical question, Zhao Qian was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Zhao Zheng, who was standing beside Zhao Qian, spoke coldly.

"Of course you can resist, but the result of resistance is that more people will die, and our methods of treating you will be even more cruel. One day, you will be completely destroyed because of such resistance."

After listening to Zhao Zheng's words, the man burst into laughter.

"Yes, maybe our tribe will perish one day, but you damn foreign invaders will not be rampant forever. One day we will drive you out of here and take back this land that originally belonged to us!"

Zhao Qian stared at the prisoner in front of him with a certain fanatical expression on his face, shook his head, and waved his hand to take the prisoner down.

Zhao Zheng made a gesture lightly behind Zhao Qian, and the local officials were of course familiar with this gesture.

This prisoner dared to speak to His Royal Highness of the Han Dynasty in such a tone. It was obvious that his life should be over.

At this moment, Zhao Qian suddenly spoke, "You can't kill him, keep him, I'm still useful."

Since His Royal Highness said that, no one dared to disobey, so the prisoner was pushed and shoved. At least until Zhao Qian found him next time, the prisoner should still be able to survive.

After doing all this, Zhao Qian looked at Zhao Zheng in front of him and sighed.

“Is there something wrong with the way we dominate this land?”

Faced with Zhao Qian's question, Zhao Zheng spoke almost without thinking: "There is no problem with our rule. Your Highness, if these barbarians are unwilling to accept our rule, then of course they should die."

In fact, it was not just Zhao Zheng, but even the vast majority of the Chinese officials and soldiers present thought so.

There is a saying that the hearts of non-my races will be different. For all Chinese people, the indigenous people on this continent are obviously the kind of non-my races. If this is the case, then Chinese people do not need to have any reason to sympathize with them.

But it is obvious that Zhao Qian didn't think so, so after this conversation, Zhao Qian returned to Fukuoka Castle with great worries, the already arranged residence.

Compared to Zhao Qian's concern, Zhao Zheng, who had just gotten off the boat, seemed to have become energetic all of a sudden. Without even resting, he went to find the local general and asked to start interrogating the prisoners.

Considering that Zhao Zheng has been training in the intelligence department for a long time over the years, the screams in the prisoner-of-war camp that night did not stop all night.

Just when Zhao Qian got up the second day, Zhao Zheng was still sleeping. This may be because Zhao Zheng put too much energy into the night before, but nobles like Zhao Zheng usually put this energy on women, and it is very rare to put it on prisoners.

Zhao Qian waited patiently until Zhao Zheng got up, and then expressed his thoughts to Zhao Zheng.

"I think we should not continue like this, because if this continues, there are actually only two situations.

One is that we completely eliminate all the natives in this life, and the other is that as the prisoner just said, they finally drove us away after a long struggle."

After hearing what Zhao Qian said, Zhao Zheng said almost without hesitation: "If there are really only these two options, then the result will definitely be that this race will be completely eliminated by us."

Zhao Zheng was very confident in the Han Dynasty, and this confidence was definitely not without reason.

In fact, anyone who has a little understanding of the situation of the Han Dynasty will have very, very confident in the Han Dynasty.

After listening to Zhao Zheng's words, Zhao Qian sighed and said, "It is true that in a short period of time, our Han Kingdom has an absolutely overwhelming advantage over all the tribes on this island, but who knows what will happen in hundreds or thousands of years?"

Zhao Zheng said calmly: "As long as we kill all these guys, they will not be able to have hundreds or thousands of years. The only one who can have a history of hundreds or thousands of years is our Han Kingdom, right?"

Listening to Zhao Zheng's words, Zhao Qian was speechless for a moment.

But immediately Zhao Qian came to his senses and said to Zhao Zheng with great anger: "There are at least millions of tribal natives on the island of Zhizhou. Do we want to kill them all?"

Faced with this question, Zhao Zheng's expression was still calm, and the answers he said were still disappointed Zhao Qian as always.

"Our Han Kingdom now has more than 50 million people. Killing these millions of indigenous people is actually nothing.

What's more, did His Highness the Crown Prince forget the story about the Indian nation that His Majesty told us before?

Those colonists from the West killed the Indian natives to almost extinction and could no longer pose any threat."

Zhao Qian was also silently looking at the sky, his heart full of complaints.

Although Zhao Qian felt that all Zhao Zheng said were wrong reasons, the misunderstandings that Zhao Zheng said were actually a little inconsistent.

Zhao Qian shook his head, strengthened his belief in his heart, and said to Zhao Zheng in front of him very seriously: "It is absolutely impossible to continue like this. I have made up my mind to find a way to assimilate these indigenous peoples and integrate them into our Chinese family."

According to common sense, Zhao Zheng rarely opposes Zhao Qian's opinion, but this time Zhao Zheng almost expressed his opposition without thinking.

"Your Highness, your idea is a bit ridiculous. What qualifications do these natives with stench all over their bodies have to join us and become a member of our Chinese?"

Zhao Qian looked at Zhao Zheng and said sincerely: "Have you forgotten what your father once said?

All the kings under the world are the kings, and all the kings are the kings and ministers under the shores of the earth.

From this perspective, all races on earth should be the people of the father and the Han Kingdom. Since they are all our people, why can't we guide them to actively integrate into the Huaxia people?"

Zhao Zheng said, "Because there is no need for this, there are too many people who want to become Chinese now, but in the west there are those previous Seleucids, Dharani, Antiko, etc. With so many people wanting to join our China, why do we choose these dark and short indigenous people on this island?"

Zhao Qian finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke loudly to Zhao Zheng, "I'm going to do this this time. It's useless whether you agree or oppose it."

So Zhao Zheng closed his mouth very calmly.

As a minister, Zhao Zheng is very in his position. He is responsible for giving advice to Zhao Qian, but of course the real decision-making power must be controlled by Zhao Qian.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Qian found that Zhao Zheng had not received any rebuttals. He was a little uncomfortable for a moment. He looked at Zhao Zheng and said, "Are you angry?"

Zhao Zheng shook his head calmly and said, "Since His Royal Highness has made a decision, I must certainly abide by it. I just don't know where His Royal Highness should start and integrate these indigenous people into our China?"

This question really caught Zhao Qian by asking a little bit, but after a brief hesitation, Zhao Qian still gave an answer.

"Let's go and find the prisoner from yesterday first, and then continue to have a good chat with him."

It seems that Zhao Zheng was not surprised at Zhao Qian's idea at all.

Soon, the captive was taken to Zhao Qian.

It can be seen that the prisoner did not suffer much in the past yesterday. This is not to say that the officials of the Han Dynasty are very kind, but simply because Zhao Qian took special care of this person.

Perhaps the captor himself knew the reason, so although he looked at Zhao Qian's expression, he was still very disdainful, but his resistant expression obviously made a lot better.

Zhao Qian still said to the prisoner through a translation method: "To be honest, I actually have an idea that may make your tribe a part of our Han Kingdom. Do you think my idea is feasible?"

After hearing Zhao Qian's words, the prisoner was obviously stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Qian up and down, as if he had seen a fool.

After a while, the captive spoke, "This is obviously impossible. Not only will your tribe members not agree, but my tribe members will not agree either."

Zhao Qian seemed to have foresaw this answer, and continued to speak in a very peaceful tone: "It's true. According to normal theory, there is a deep feud between your race and my country.

However, I believe that you can see that you have been a slave here for so long that our Han Kingdom is many times stronger than your tribe, and the lives of our Han people are also many times better than that of your tribe.

Haven’t you really thought about letting your tribe members live like this in our Han Dynasty?

Or are you willing to drink blood for the rest of your life, and are you willing to let your tribes become slaves to our Han people for the rest of your life?"

After Zhao Qian said these words, the expression of the prisoner in front of him changed significantly.

Obviously, what Zhao Qian said had a great impact on the prisoner.

Of course, this prisoner could not know what the land of the Great Han Kingdom looked like, but this prisoner saw the changes in Fukuoka Castle over the past few years.

After seeing the life of immigrants from the Han Kingdom in Fukuoka Castle, this person was originally from a primitive tribe and could almost be said to be a prisoner of the savages. The most important thing in his heart was that he was not touched or envied, which was absolutely fake.

However, the hard work over the past few years has obviously made this prisoner full of hatred for everyone in the Han Dynasty. After all, in the past few years, the Han people have never regarded them as slaves, and they are all used to death.

So the prisoner said with a very suspicious expression: "You can tell me if you have any attempts recently. Anyway, my life is in your hands now, and you don't need to lie to me, because that is meaningless."

Zhao Qian smiled and said to the prisoner in front of him: "What I mean is actually very simple. That is, you must all of your tribe accept the transformation of our great Han culture. You must learn our language, be familiar with our words, and live like a real great Han Chinese.

As long as you can do this, one generation or two generations may not be able to do it, but within three or four generations, your entire tribe will definitely become a real Han Chinese. You can think about it yourself."

After hearing Zhao Qian's words, the prisoner fell into deep thought once.

Zhao Zheng, who was standing by, stared at the scene calmly and did not speak up. He said that Zhao Zheng didn't support this.

For Zhao Zheng, the worst thing is to kill all the natives of this tribe, and that's all.

This does not mean that Zhao Zheng is a cruel fact, but from the perspective of cost, the cost of doing so is the lowest and the minimum way to consume resources.

Just as Zhao Zheng began to think about who to shoot to destroy these tribes, the prisoner suddenly looked up and spoke.

"How do I know whether what you said is true or false? What if others disagree after you say it?"

After hearing this, Zhao Qian knew that the prisoner was actually willing, but he just needed a new reason.

So Zhao Qian laughed and said to the prisoner: "Others will not disagree, because I am the prince of the Han Dynasty. Maybe you don't know what the prince means, so I can tell you that my father is the emperor."

Zhao Qian felt that no matter how ignorant these prisoners were, they should still know about the emperor.

Sure enough, after hearing the word emperor, the captive's expression changed.

After thinking for a while, the prisoner said, "I can trust you once."

After hearing this, Zhao Qian smiled and answered very seriously.

"You believe me, you won't be disappointed."
