Chapter 647 Cultural Invasion
Accompanied by Lusu, Ganning and Zhang Chuang, Lu Ning and Zhou Yu drank wildly with the soldiers, shuttled among the soldiers and drank a big bowl. Originally, Lu Ning had a high status in the minds of the soldiers, and had reached the level of worship. Now the soldiers were drinking with Lu Ning and sat on the ground, which raised the soldiers' loyalty to Lu Ning to a peak.
The heroes in the hearts of soldiers must be built through experience on the battlefield. Lu Ning's most open-minded mother is to lead the troops to fight and often charge at the forefront. For soldiers, they are willing to follow such people who sacrifice their lives and are extremely brave.
In ancient times, if generals want to be admired by soldiers, they had to share the joys and sorrows and hardships with soldiers on the battlefield. Only such experiences can make soldiers respect themselves from the bottom of their hearts and establish prestige among soldiers.
After eating and drinking, Lu Ning and his party went to the imperial palace of the former Evil Ma Tai Kingdom to stay. It is now the headquarters of the Lusu and Ganning conquest army.
After sitting down, Lu Ning said, "Zijing, since the conquest is over, then change the defense! Let Ling Tong lead 5,000 soldiers to garrison here, and then continue to conquer some remote islands, and the army returns to rest."
Lu Su said: "Lord, we think so too. We originally wanted to leave people to stay here. After all, there are still some residual elements on the islands conquered. Although there are not many, they cannot pose any threat, but there are always hidden dangers."
After hearing this, Lu Ning said, "Is there still a big tribe?"
Zhang Chuang said: "The big headquarters is basically gone, and basically there are sporadic Japanese pirates who fled to the deep mountains. It will take time to clear them out. The ships that the lord sank on the sea are the last tribes, and we have been encircling them for a long time."
Lu Ning said: "Ling Tong, you have been handing over to Xingba and the others during this period and guarding all the islands that have been conquered. Take time to advance north, east, and west. There are countless islands a little further away from these directions. Every time you go to a place, you have to send troops to reconnaissance. If there are barbarians, you will directly eliminate them. You must also erect monuments on the islands and engrave the boundary monuments of the Han Dynasty."
Ling Tong was very excited after hearing this, and unexpectedly he could lead the soldiers to take over independently; this was very lucky for a child in his teens. This could only happen under the system of Lu Ning, and no other prince dared to do so. But who knew that Lu Ning's time traveler was more clear about the recognition of talents, so how could he appoint randomly!
Ling Tong said: "Lord, I will definitely work hard and will never let my lord down on my hope!"
Lu Su said: "Lord, now there are 200,000 Japanese pirates on Kyushu Island, Shikoku Island, Honshu Island, and Beida Island. Although they have been castrated, you can't be careless. If there is a riot, the consequences will be very serious. Besides, there are not enough laborers in these islands now."
Lu Ning said: "Zijing, how are the immigration situation now? How many immigrants are there on each island?"
Lu Su said: "Lord, there are nearly 150,000 immigrants on Kyushu Island and about 30,000 households. Each household sent a captured Japanese pirate woman. There are nearly 30,000 children born on Kyushu Island when the conquest soldiers were undergoing a great integration. If all of these are added, the population of Kyushu Island is 210,000; there are 50,000 immigrants on Shikoku Island, and nearly 200,000 immigrants on Honshu Island. With the addition of Japanese pirate women, the children integrated by the soldiers are about 300,000; there are basically no resettlement of immigrants on the North Island and Sakhalin Island, and there are no immigrants on other small islands."
Lu Ning said: "Those Japanese pirate women who have children with our soldiers should be treated well, and their treatment is the same as the people under our system. After all, these people raise children for our soldiers. These children are of great Han ancestry and should be taken care of."
Lu Su said: "Lord, all these have been registered. This part of the children we have created from our soldiers is distributed to houses and land; plus the soldiers will also be taken care of, so there will be no difficulties."
Lu Ning said: "Did you find gold ore? Did you??"
Lu Su said: "Master, didn't you find it?"
Lu Ning was depressed. Isn’t this little Japan the main production area of gold and silver? Its storage capacity is very large, but it was mined in later generations, but it turned out to be very rich!
Lu Ning said: "Zijing, I told the internal affairs officials who came to do their jobs to send more exploration. There should be rich gold and silver storage in these places, but we have not found them. Think about it, after you conquered these islands, you seized so much gold and silver. What does this mean? This shows that there is a large amount of gold and silver storage in these places, but we have not found them yet. We have to find a way to re-interrogate the prisoners, and we must figure it out."
Lu Su said: "Then let's find someone to interrogate again."
Lu Ning said: "Then leave 50,000 Japanese prisoners for Ling Tong, and let these prisoners continue to look for mines, build fortifications, and build houses for immigrants; if these things are done, let the prisoners build highways, and the roads in these places are done. The remaining prisoners will be sent to the jurisdiction to mine and mine coal."
Lu Su said: "Then I will arrange to bring these prisoners back to the jurisdiction first."
Lu Ning said: "Ling Tong, the five extraordinary prisoners you manage should not be careless. You must prevent riots and not let the prisoners eat enough. Just be half full. In this way, they will not have more energy to riot. In addition, when the prisoners are disobedient in the process of being a coolie, they will cut them directly and adopt a continuation system. As for illness, there is no need for medical treatment and throw them into the sea to feed fish. We do not have to spend money on these prisoners, we can only squeeze them."
Ling Tong said: "Lord, I understand."
Gan Ning said: "Lord, the navy is still cleaning up the remnants of Japanese pirates on all islands. Should we continue? Or should we leave it to Ling Tong and others to clean up?"
Lu Ning thought about it and said, "You can continue to clear the situation! Let it be handed over to Ling Tong when you leave."
Gan Ning said: "Lord, I understand."
Lu Ning said: "How is the cultural invasion going on?"
In fact, conquering a place by force is not very difficult. The most difficult thing is to make the place forget the past and be assimilated by a large number of cultures. Only in this way can long-term stability and be considered a true conquest.
Lu Su said: "Lord, all captured women have taught to speak Chinese. Now even the captured Japanese pirate men are allowed to communicate in Chinese and not other languages. If someone is found to speak birds again, as long as they are found, they will beheaded immediately. Under such high-pressure policies, basically no one is allowed to speak birds anymore."
After hearing this, Lu Ning nodded and said, "Very good! This work is very important, you have done a great job."
Lu Ning was happy that as long as the captured Japanese pirate women no longer spoke birds, the birds' singing would disappear in the world. As long as the Chinese language is spoken, they are descendants of Yan and Huang. This is very important. Lu Ning's external conquests were attached very much to cultural invasions. Only when the cultural ingrain can the conquests be completely controlled.
Lu Su hesitated: "Lord, we have received help from the islanders during the conquest, otherwise we would not have been so smooth."
Lu Ning was stunned after hearing this! He glanced at him and said, "Zijing, what does it mean?"
Lu Su said: "Lord, do you still remember Xu Fu during the Qin Shihuang period?"
