The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1769 Cultural Invasion
"This Song Qinglian, issued an edict to reprimand him. When did he think of kindness? I think the prince is right. If there is such a person in the court in the future, let him go to the front line to see if he can resist it with his benevolence and morality." If I can hold the enemy's swords, spears, sticks and swords, I will appoint him on the spot as the prime minister of the world's soldiers, horses, marshals, and water commanders, do you have any objections?"

As an emperor, Zhao Kuangyin said it was a bit inappropriate, but no one dared to object. The emperor made it very clear. As long as you have the ability, I will not say more. I will give you a high official and a generous salary. .

The military generals are really happy because your Majesty is targeting civil servants. Does it mean that they have another chance to stand out? Everyone is very excited. These people feel that since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the emperor has paid attention to it. The civil servants ignored the generals.

In fact, this is their superficial opinion. When did the Song Dynasty not pay attention to generals, but gradually weakened the military power of some generals, but it has not reached the point of not paying attention to generals. After all, the Song Dynasty still has wars abroad, right?
Zhao Kuangyin is not so stupid that the world is not completely peaceful, so he puts more emphasis on culture than military. Even if Zhao needs not to change history, Zhao Kuangyin has no intention of weakening generals, because Zhao Kuangyin in history has always been thinking about the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun occupied by Khitan , will naturally attach importance to military affairs.

It's just that after his death, Zhao Guangyi misunderstood his policies, which really created a situation where he emphasized civility over military affairs.

"Okay, don't put your mind on whether our policies in Fusang are appropriate. Is it because I violated the teachings of the saints, and we still want to conquer that land. Shall I let the selected five hundred scholars choose?"

"Qizou Your Majesty, these people have all assembled, may I ask your Majesty when will they leave?"

Tao Gu is in charge of recruiting these people, he also knows where the Zhexi people are going, but he doesn't know what these people are, so he has to ask Zhao Kuangyin.

Five hundred scholars, these people are all people without fame, and they made a little mistake, and their life in the Song Dynasty was not satisfactory, but the court gave them a broad road, posting a list to recruit 500 people, if they volunteered to go.

So what does the Song Dynasty want them to do? Let them go to Fusang, teach and educate people in Fusang. As long as they do well, they can be granted the title of marquis and worship minister after returning to China in the future. He was born with Jinshi.This can be said to be a shortcut, which is equivalent to Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty at that time, and later he was granted the title of Marquis of Bowang, but this time is better than Zhang Qian in the Western Han Dynasty, because Zhang Qian went to an unknown place, but Fusang was a clear one. Place.

Fuso?

Yes, it is to go to Fusang. The Song Dynasty is really in a good mood. HIA sent hundreds of teachers to Fusang to teach the common people in Fusang to learn knowledge. You must know that people at the bottom of Fusang are not allowed to read and write. This is The so-called stupid policy.

Does Da Song really have such good intentions to literacy for them? Because Da Song also carried out literacy in the past few years, and many people have initially got rid of illiteracy, and it is only limited to the stage of literacy. Just some notices.

But Da Song will not be so kind, because they have their own plans. Can't all Fusang people be killed? If Da Song really conquers this place, then they will manage it, and let the people of Da Song immigrate there, and they can immigrate Some prisoners and criminals in the past, this is what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did.

Here comes the important point, let the Han people pass, they must live somewhere, then Zhao Kuangyin discussed with his ministers, if this is the case, it is possible to set up academies there, so that the Han people can receive good education.

The local education can be completely destroyed, including all the history books of Fusang, so that they have no historical records, and they can be restrained culturally

We want the people of Fusang to learn the culture of our Great Song Dynasty and write the fonts of our Great Song Dynasty. As for their fonts, they must gradually give up, burn all the classics recorded in their characters, and learn to burn books and bury Confucianism.

Forcing them to learn various customs and habits of the Song Dynasty, and celebrate the festivals of the Song Dynasty, their traditional festivals will gradually be forgotten and lost in the long river of history.

As for whether they are willing to learn, this is not a question we worry about, and we have not asked their opinions, because it is compulsory. If Fusang can be conquered, these are not what they say, but whoever rules has the final say.

I'm talking about whether they can forget their own culture. This is very certain. Chinese culture is extensive and profound. Compared with Fusang culture, I don't know how much more advanced it is. Otherwise, there would be no envoys from the Tang Dynasty. It is also the Fusang people's responsibility to learn some advanced culture. Willingness, so they will be happy to accept the Central Plains cultural land.

Zhao Kuangyin remembered what Zhao Kuangyin said to him at that time. Zhao Xu said these words many times, but this time he was more ruthless. learning Chinese culture.

The scary thing is that these Fusang people will gradually think that they are Chinese people. Even if you tell them that you are Fusang people, they probably won't believe it.

If a nation disappears, as long as the culture continues to be passed on, it may be passed down in another form, that is to say, their nation has changed its way of existence.

In other words, when people of one nationality are gone, as long as their culture is passed on elsewhere, it can be considered that their nation has survived in another form.

If the cultural inheritance is cut off, even if the entire nation exists, it will only be a walking corpse. That's why Fusang people are asked to learn some Song culture, learn to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters.

This was originally Zhao Xu's idea to assimilate Khitan, but later it was used on Fusang. It was just an idea to use Fusang on Fusang, because Fusang was still in Zhu Qianchou's hands. Extravagant hope, there is no possibility of implementation, even if it is possible, it will be a long time later, who would have thought that Da Song would start to attack Fusang so soon, a few years earlier than the previous plan.

These [-] scholars from the Song Dynasty were sent to Fusang to perform these tasks. They were all willing to go. They were only a few years old. I believe that the court will not treat them badly after they come back.

Whether they can finally conquer Fusang is not their concern. In their opinion, Song Dynasty has never really failed, so this time it will not fail. Their main task is to brainwash the people of Fusang.

"Let's start the journey in May after March. At that time, everything must have settled down. During this period of time, train them well. I really look forward to them."

The 500 people were there for cultural invasion.
