Chapter 468 - Open and Inclusive Policy

***

It is not difficult to send people to contact the various Mongolian tribes, and many of the captured Qing troops are Mongols, so it is not a problem for them to go back and deliver a message.

As for whether they can persuade the Mongol ministries to cooperate with Daqin and give the Jurchens a knife from behind, there is no doubt at all.

As long as Great Qin maintained its military superiority over the Manchus and continued to weaken the Jurchens, even if they did not send people to contact the Mongols, I believe they would no longer be willing to submit to the Jurchens.

In the grassland, the living environment is harsh, if you want to survive, you have to follow the principle of the law of the jungle, and make up for the lack of your own living materials by annexing others.

The reason why the Jurchens were able to make the Mongols submit was that they continued to win victories in the wars against the Ming Dynasty, and they continued to grow stronger, surpassing the Mongols in strength.

Now with the decline in the strength of the Jurchens, even if tomorrow there is a news that the Mongols are stabbing the Jurchens in the back, it will not be strange.

Now Great Qin can't just focus on the Jurchens, but must have an overall strategic plan for the entire northern nomads.

Throughout China's 2,000-year history, there are not many successful cases to learn from in dealing with northern nomads.

Generally speaking, the Tang Dynasty's foreign policy was relatively successful, in addition to the Tang Army itself was very good at fighting, it also absorbed a large number of foreign people into the Tang Army, not to mention ordinary soldiers, just senior generals, such as Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, Heizhi Changzhi, Ashina Sheer, Qibi He Li, etc., have made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, you would say that the Tang Dynasty was also destroyed at the hands of foreign generals in the end.

An Lushan's rebellion, Qin Mu believes that this cannot be completely blamed on the Tang Dynasty's policy of reusing foreign people, with Tang Xuanzong's connivance at An Lushan, even if An Lushan is a Han Chinese, it is very likely that something will go wrong.

But as soon as Qin Mu put forward this idea, he was opposed by half of the ministers. The reason for the opposition is basically the same: those who are not of my race will have different hearts.

On the contrary, it was Yang Tinglin, the secretary of the ministry, who was the first to stand up in support, and he said: "It is undoubtedly the most labor-saving to attack the shield of the other with the spear of the other." Moreover, among the foreign races, not necessarily all treacherous and sinister people, when Tang Taizong died, many foreign envoys cut off their hair, cut their faces and ears in accordance with their own national traditions to express their grief, and for a while, Chang'an City was stained with blood.

Among them is the Turkic prince Ashina Sheer. even proposed to the new emperor Li Zhi to commit suicide and be buried to guard the mausoleum for Tang Taizong. It can be seen from this that whether or not the alien race can be feared depends mainly on whether the monarch's virtue can be convincing.

During the period of Tang Xuanzong, there were also many foreign generals who fought for the Tang Dynasty and made countless contributions. Neglect of governance.

My king often said that the sea is tolerant of all rivers, and tolerance is great. I, Daqin, want to be the lord of the four seas, if I have a narrow heart. Isn't the so-called co-owner of the world just an empty phrase? The minister thinks that as long as my king is diligent in cultivating virtue and government, he will be deterred and show sincerity. If you give it grace, you will be able to bring the four people back to their hearts. ”

Last time, Ai Nengqi threatened to listen to the tune and not listen to the noise, and it was Yang Tinglin who came out to admonish Qin Mu. Let him be virtuous and show sincerity, this time it was he who came forward first, which made Qin Mu look at him with admiration.

Whether or not to reuse aliens is directly related to the formulation of Great Qin's foreign policy.

For example, if you don't plan to reuse aliens, the current policy towards Mongolia is purely to use or sow discord and let them kill each other.

If you plan to reuse the foreigners, then when you devise a strategy, you can use it against other tribes who are disobedient by nurturing a certain force of power that is at my disposal.

With the former policy, you don't have to worry about the danger of causing trouble, but when you incite people to kill each other, it is likely that one or two tribes will quickly grow through mergers and become another fierce rival after the Jurchens.

If the latter policy is to be subdued, in the process of support, try to subdue it, so that his strength is within a controllable range.

Qin Mu himself is inclined to adopt a tolerant policy, history has proved that a closed country has no future, only by adopting an open and inclusive attitude, can we accept hundreds of rivers into the sea, gather fine sand into a tower.

Sima An muttered: "There is no doubt that the Tang Dynasty's policy of tolerance with foreign countries made the Tang Dynasty's power rapidly expand to Mobei and the Western Regions.

The minister thought that the inadequacy of the Tang Dynasty's tolerance policy, and its fatal flaw, was that after the inclusion of foreign races, it did not make great efforts to assimilate. that the tribes may retain their original customs;

The minister thought that my Great Qin could make use of its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, adopt the inclusive policy of the Tang Dynasty, solve the problem of the ownership of the northern and western regions as soon as possible, and then perseveringly promote sinicization. ”

Sima An's words are deeply in line with Qin Mu's meaning, the first step is to fight down first, and then talk about it, after beating down, it should be easier to implement sinicization.

After the general foreign policy was decided, Qin Mu gave Song Xiance full responsibility for lobbying the Mongol captives, and Song Xiance could speak and speak the Tao, and he would also have some Shinto things, which came in handy.

After ambushing those Mongol captives, letting them go back to lobby the clansmen will undoubtedly be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort, even if they don't contribute to Great Qin after they go back, there will not be much loss to Great Qin.

This time, I don't know what tricks Dorgon can use to deal with it, if you clear the internal factions of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I will provoke the Mongols, and I will overwhelm you.

When the meeting ended, Qin Mu was much more relaxed, and he said to the ministers: "It's almost the New Year, the ministers have worked hard for a year, cough cough other kings don't say much, no matter how much they say, if they don't come to something real, I'm afraid that after the ministers go back, they will inevitably be nagged by their own wives, and some may even have to kneel on the washboard." Boquan, after the meeting is dismissed, let us divide all the New Year's gifts that the king has prepared for the ministers. ”

"Minister, obey the order."

After Liu Boquan finished answering, he laughed first, and the ministers present couldn't help but chuckle, and the monarch and ministers were happy for a while.

After the ministers dispersed, Qin Mu found Yan Gaofei again and asked what progress the Zheng family in Fujian had made.

Up to now, Honglu Temple Shaoqing Gannan is still in Fujian, Qin Mu clearly knows that the Zheng family's affairs are in a hurry, even if you send troops into Fujian and occupy Fujian, as long as the Zheng family's fleet is not damaged, Fujian will not be recovered.

The Zheng family's powerful fleet is related to the development of Daqin's future marine strategy, Longmen Shipyard can build a large number of ships, but after having a ship, it is necessary to have qualified people to operate the ship, and now Daqin's sailors may not even be able to find the direction when they go to sea. If the Zheng family can be subdued, Daqin's maritime strategy will take at least a few years less. So Qin Mu can't help but be careful.

Yan Gaofei shook his head and said, "Back to King Qin, there has been no new news from Fujian in the past two days. ”

"You can't just wait for Gannan, let Ye Bushu try to contact Zheng Sen, maybe there will be an unexpected gain."

"Yes, King Qin."

As the New Year is approaching, the palace is also decorated with lights, dressed up in joy, and the maids in the backyard have also changed into new clothes.

When Qin Mu walked into the back garden, Qiao'er was teasing his son in the garden, she was holding a piece of pastry in her hand, which lured Qin Ye desperately, and the little guy ran with a red face, only the pastry in his eyes, and almost "knocked down" His Excellency King Qin.

"Hey, my old waist can be broken now, son, you broke my father, you are not filial son"

Qin Ye didn't care how badly he was hit, as soon as he saw his father, he immediately pulled him, pointed at the pastries in Qiao'er's hand and screamed, obviously, he wanted to fight his father.

Qiao'er laughed so much that her waist bent, and she didn't forget to hit Qin Mu and said: "Your Excellency King Qin, have you seen it, in the eyes of your son, you are not as important as the snacks in my hand, hehe"

"It's against you! Girl, come and surrender immediately, otherwise this king will immediately send troops to level your Yuezhou City. ”

"People are not afraid, you just send troops to fill up Dongting Lake."

"Son, give it to me!"

The Qin family rarely sees that they can't fight for their father, they have to support themselves, where can they be, wow, they cried, and now the Qin family is such a lone seedling, he has this voice, and suddenly the entire backyard was alarmed, Yang Zhi, Gu Hanyan and others ran out one after another.

Qiao'er panicked and hurriedly brought the snacks.

"Qiao'er, no." Qin Mu grabbed Qiao'er's hand and brought the dim sum, "In the future, if he asks for something by crying, no one will give it, I am such a son, if anyone dares to spoil him, I will not spare him." ”

"Oh oh but"

"No, you must remember that." After Qin Mu finished speaking, he squatted down and said to his son: "Ye'er, stop, don't cry, if you cry again, Daddy will eat this snack, if you want to eat, there is only one way, stop crying, and promise Daddy that you will never cry again in the future." ”
