Therefore, as a traverser, Li Yang knew very well that no matter how powerful the Qin army was, it would never be possible to wipe out the nomads.
Other than that, there are only two options left, either drive away or assimilate.
Thinking of this, Li Yang replied: "Return to Your Majesty, to destroy the Xiongnu does not necessarily mean killing them all, but also assimilating them."
"assimilation?"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he frowned, very puzzled.
Everyone was also very curious, what did Li Yang mean by assimilation?
"Yes, assimilation!"
Li Yang nodded confidently, seeing that everyone seemed puzzled, and then explained: "The so-called assimilation is to integrate them into our Chinese nation. With China's huge cultural and population advantages, let the frontier nomads Whether it is culture or blood relationship, the original characteristics of the Chinese nation gradually fade away, allowing them to gradually integrate with us in this melting pot of the Chinese nation, making their national boundaries gradually blurred. In this way, there will be no Xiongnu on the grasslands, and there will be only the Great Qin people."
"Fusion? Assimilation?"
Immediately, everyone was stunned by Li Yang's unprecedented and unheard-of novel strategy theory.
All of a sudden, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time.
Ying Zheng also frowned, thinking deeply about Li Yang's so-called strategy of assimilation and integration.
In the Hall of Qilin, everyone was thinking hard.
Some people seem to realize something for a while, then fall into confusion again for a while, seem to feel wonderful for a while, and show embarrassment for a while.In short, the expressions of the officials in the Qilin Hall are quite complicated.
After a while, Yingzheng seemed still puzzled, and questioned: "Although this policy theory is excellent, if it can really integrate the Xiongnu nomads with our great Qin and Huaxia people, it would be great, but ...can it be assimilated?"
Everyone was also worried about this and was not optimistic about it, so they all looked at Li Yang.
Li Yang nodded confidently: "Your Majesty, what kind of existence is my Chinese nation? What kind of existence is my Chinese nation's culture? It is not an exaggeration to say that we represent the highest civilization in the world. As long as foreigners are put into the big melting pot of the Chinese nation, it is easy to assimilate and integrate them. If you don’t believe me, look at that Baiyue is also a Yi nationality, and now it has been with our Chinese nation in just five years. merged into one."
"What's more, the 'nomadic peoples' like the Xiongnu have a variety of different blood, and they are composed of various tribes on the grassland. The so-called Xiongnu is not the name of a nation, but the tribe boss It’s just a name. Besides, why did they risk their lives to invade and plunder my Daqin? It’s not for survival. As long as my Daqin can give them a peaceful life and keep them from suffering from hunger and cold, why would they not want to integrate into my Chinese nation? ?”
While saying this, Li Yang thought of the compatriots in the grasslands of later generations. Although their ancestors were also nomads, Li Yang regarded them as the Huaxia family.
In the final analysis, what Li Yang wants to destroy is not the nomads, but the tribe of the Huns.This is like the Qin State destroying the Six Kingdoms.
What is going to be destroyed is not the people of the six countries, but the political organizations of the six countries.
It's just that the tribal organization of the Huns is different from the six countries in the Central Plains, as long as they attack the city, they can be destroyed.The tribal organization of the Xiongnu can walk and move, so it is difficult to attack and destroy it like the Six Kingdoms.
Since the political organization of the Xiongnu tribe cannot be destroyed, then directly assimilate and integrate their people.
Even the people on the prairie have been assimilated and merged into one body of China. May I ask, will there still be Hun tribes on this prairie?
As a time traveler, Li Yang is very clear.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Central Plains has been constantly fighting with nomadic peoples.
The same is true of Qin and Han.
It can be said that the war between the Central Plains and the nomads has lasted for about 2000 years and has never stopped.
During this period, whether it was the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, or the prosperous Tang Dynasty, no matter how powerful your country was, almost none of them could completely solve the serious problem of nomads.
This situation lasted until the Qing Dynasty, and finally... the Qing Dynasty completely eradicated the great trouble of nomads that had lasted for thousands of years.Since then, in the Republic of China and New China, the nomadic peoples have become one with the Central Plains peoples and have become a family.
How did the Qing Dynasty do it?
It is four words: assimilation and integration.
To put it bluntly, even the Jurchens who established the Qing Dynasty themselves were assimilated and integrated by the Han nationality.
After countless dynasties, problems that could not be solved by all force, or all the power of the whole country, were finally solved completely without a single soldier.This may be something that all the emperors of the past dynasties before the Qing Dynasty would never dream of.
To be honest, this is indeed a great achievement of the Qing Dynasty.
It is precisely because he knows China's 2000-year history that Li Yang is very sure that the only way to completely solve the nomadic people is through assimilation and national integration.
Because the grassland is so big, there will always be people.Today there will be Huns, tomorrow there will be Donghu, and the day after tomorrow there will be other nomads from other places. You will never be able to kill them all.Only assimilation and integration can be achieved. Come one, integrate one, come a group, I will integrate a group, and I will make you a Chinese nation.
Don't you love fighting, don't you love riding and shooting?Then join the army, join the Qin army, make contributions, go on an expedition to Europe for "our" Qin country, and rule the world together!

Chapter 155
"Your Majesty, I feel that the Prime Minister's policy may be feasible."
After listening to Li Yang's long speech, Li Si first came out to express his approval of the policy of assimilation and integration.
"The ministers also think that this strategy is feasible, and if you surrender without fighting, the Prime Minister's strategy can be called the best strategy." Xiao He and Cao Can also seconded.
Seeing that someone agreed with Li Yang's policy, Ying Zheng couldn't help but also nodded.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that for a long time, Li Yang could come up with a solution to the problem that the Xiongnu and other nomads had been helpless for a long time, which really surprised Yingzheng.
You know, the problem of the nomads was forced to build the Great Wall to solve it.But now, Li Yang actually came up with such a clever plan in an early morning.
Although, whether this clever strategy really works, everyone is still not sure for the time being.
However, at least this policy theory sounds quite reasonable.
What Li Yang said is correct, the hundred Vietnamese barbarians in the south, in just four or five years, have already merged with the Chinese nation, and if they are also a tribe of foreign barbarians, the northern barbarians and Huns, if they are also regarded as Like hundreds of Vietnamese and Yi, wouldn't it be possible to integrate them into the Chinese nation?
Therefore, at first hearing Li Yang's strategy, some people didn't care about it, and even thought it was a bit absurd. Instead of killing the Huns, but thinking that they could destroy the Huns, this would give people a feeling of almost absurdity.
However, if you look at it with a hundred Vietnamese Yi, you will find that Li Yang's theory is actually very reasonable, and the more you think about it, the more intriguing it becomes.
At this moment, Ying Zheng really wanted to praise Li Yang, this guy is really a genius, he can come up with any novel idea.For example, the theory of assimilation and integration is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
At that moment, Ying Zheng nodded and said, "If, as Li Yang said, we compare the Xiongnu in the north to Baiyue in the south, this strategy of assimilation and integration is indeed feasible. Feng Xiang and Meng Tian, what do you think? ?”
Feng Quji hurried out of the queue and replied: "Prime Minister Zhong's policy is extremely novel and has overturned the policy and thinking of the ministers and others in the past, so I dare not make a conclusion for a while. However, the minister feels that even if this policy is to be implemented , It is also necessary to think of a comprehensive implementation plan first, otherwise it is useless to have a strategy."
Meng Tian also nodded: "What Feng Xiang said is very true! The Prime Minister's strategy is also to make my eyes shine, but how to make the Xiongnu willing to integrate into our Chinese nation, I think this is the most difficult part , so we still need to come up with a plan that can be implemented.”
Everyone also nodded, agreeing with Meng Tian's opinion.
After all, the Xiongnu were also a force on the northern grasslands, so it was impossible for them to throw themselves into their arms obediently, surrender to the Great Qin, and be a Chinese citizen with peace of mind, right?
If you are really so obedient and obedient, how can I let the whole country of Qin Dynasty build the Great Wall?
Therefore, at this time, everyone felt that Li Yang's strategy of assimilation and integration seemed a little difficult to achieve.
