Chu Fan's words made all the ministers present feel His Majesty's extreme disgust and rejection of the indigenous people of Japan. However, at this time they did not understand why His Majesty thought that migrating ethnic minorities to settle in Japan was better than the Han people. You know, what His Majesty said about destroying the indigenous people of Japan, the Han people can also do it. Why must the ethnic minorities be forced to migrate to Japan?

Mu Yundian asked, "Your Majesty, since the goal is to reduce or eliminate the Japanese aborigines, wouldn't it be more effective to allow Han Chinese civilians to go? You know, most of the Wei soldiers are Han Chinese civilians. With the support of the army, wouldn't it be easy to eliminate the Japanese aborigines?"

Chu Fan shook his head slightly and continued to explain in detail:

"First of all, even if the Wei army "helps" Japan to eliminate other countries and forces on the Shengwu Continent that invaded them, the natives of Japan may feel a certain gratitude towards Wei in the beginning. But when the other invaders leave Japan and the Wei army completely controls Japan, the natives of Japan will inevitably begin to feel hostile towards Wei.

Some Japanese thought of their deceased relatives, and when the foreign enemies who had oppressed them were gone, they would transfer their hatred to the State of Wei. They would complain in their hearts why the State of Wei did not send troops to help them drive out the invaders earlier, and why the Wei army had to wait until all their relatives had died to drive out the foreign enemies.

By then, this sentiment will inevitably spread, and our Wei army stationed in Japan will become the object of their hatred. The natives of Japan will vent all their resentment and anger on the Wei army, which will in turn cause instability in the situation in Japan.

Then there were the remnants of Wa's former rulers and aristocrats, who would not resign themselves to the loss of their privileges and status. As long as the Wei army remained stationed in Wa, after defeating the remaining enemies of Wa, these people would consider Wei to be just another invader.

Even if Wa was already devastated by the war, these people would still secretly collude with each other and, leveraging popular discontent, organize forces to resist Wei's rule. The military would then be needed to suppress them, which would undoubtedly be a long-term burden and hidden danger for Wei.

After saying this, Chu Fan took a sip of tea and waited for Cao Mengde and the others to figure out the truth. After all, as an emperor, he rarely dealt with court affairs, and the future governance of Japan would still depend on them.

A quarter of an hour later, Cao Mengde and the others had figured out the reasoning behind this. These were things they had never considered before. However, His Majesty hadn't yet explained why the ethnic minorities were being allowed to go to Japan. What was the deeper meaning behind this? Of course, they knew His Majesty would continue to explain it to them, so they didn't ask any more questions but waited for Chu Fan to continue.

Chu Fan put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "As for why ethnic minorities should be allowed to go to Japan, it is because ethnic minorities are not bound by Confucianism compared to the Han people. When ethnic minorities enter Japan, if the natives of Japan want to morally kidnap these ethnic minorities or try to use Confucian ethics to restrict these ethnic minorities, these ethnic minorities will not be easily kidnapped by morality like the Han people, but will directly respond with force.

Furthermore, each ethnic minority has its own unique beliefs and lifestyles. It would be nearly impossible for the natives of Wa to unite these minorities against Wei. These minorities not only have their own interests in Wa, but also in Wei itself. They are unlikely to abandon their roots in Wei for a few minor interests in Wa.

Chu Fan's face turned serious at this time and he said: "The most critical issue is that Wa is an independent island outside the Shengwu Continent. If Wei wants to rule Wa for a long time, it cannot allow Wa to have a unified ideology. Once Wa forms a unified ideology, if some of them want to be independent, then Wei will have to spend a lot of manpower and resources to conquer them again.

It would be better to take advantage of the chaos in Wa and disperse the ethnic minorities there so that they can check and balance each other with the locals. This way, the various forces within Wa will fight each other due to their interests and cultural differences. At that time, Wei will only need to station a small number of troops in Wa to stabilize the situation.

The last paragraph was something Cao Mengde and others had never expected. They had not expected that His Majesty would look at things in such a long-term perspective, and even had to take precautions against the people of Wei in order to ensure the long-term stability of Wei.

However, after everyone thought about it carefully, they found that the situation His Majesty described was really possible. After all, human nature is the most complex.

Cao Mengde had already figured out this concern, so he raised another question at this time: "Your Majesty, after the Wei army completely controls Wa, should we appoint a prince to rule Wa to intimidate the natives and the ethnic minorities who have migrated there?"

Chu Fan directly shook his head and rejected Cao Mengde's proposal. Then Chu Fan said, "I will never enfeoff any princes. Even after Wei State rules Shengwu Continent, I will not allow the successor emperor to enfeoff any princes."
