Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.
Fate ha...
How do you defeat or conquer a race?
When the emperor changed the subject again, Xi Zhicai was taken aback.
Meeting the emperor's questioning gaze, Xi Zhicai realized that the emperor was asking for advice, so he quickly put aside his thoughts and began to ponder.
Liu Hong also looked at Xi Zhicai, who was deep in thought, with a smile on his face, and sat there quietly without saying a word.
After a moment, Xi Zhicai raised his head and looked at Liu Hong, saying in a deep voice:
"The so-called seed is bloodline, the father's sperm and the mother's blood, the son inherits the father's lineage, and it is passed down from generation to generation."
The so-called "tribe" is a place where people gather, share language, culture, clothing, and a way of life. When people gather together, they form a tribe!
The two combined are one race!
If you want to defeat or conquer them, you can do more than cut off their bloodline, conquer their land, and change their language, culture, and so on!
Force and civilization are both indispensable!
Liu Hong smiled and nodded, "That's right. To defeat or conquer a nation, both military force and civilization are indispensable and complement each other!"
Our Han Dynasty's military strength goes without saying, but how can we change their culture and language more quickly and effectively?
Upon hearing the emperor's words, Xi Zhicai frowned. The language and culture of a race have been passed down for many years. How easy is it to change them?
But since the emperor had asked this question, there must be a way. For a moment, Xi Zhicai fell into deep thought again.
Thinking of the flowers the emperor had mentioned earlier, Xi Zhicai suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Liu Hong with a shocked expression.
"Does Your Majesty mean to conquer their women...?"
Seeing that Xi Zhicai finally understood, Liu Hong nodded as well.
"That's right! As people often say, a woman should be a good wife and mother! A woman has a great influence on her children!"
Once we conquer them, change their minds, and make them proud to marry men of our great Han, then conquering this race will naturally follow!
Hearing Liu Hong's words, Xi Zhicai nodded as if he understood, and then asked:
"That's why His Majesty said..."
Liu Hong smiled and nodded, "That's why I said I'd find you two women from the slave country. Of course... it's not just you, Mengde, Benchu, Yuanchang, and Fengxian all need to be included."
"Uh~!"
Seeing the emperor showing such care and concern for his subordinates, Xi Zhicai was somewhat taken aback. At this moment, he didn't know whether he should be moved or complain.
Ignoring Xi Zhicai's strange look, Liu Hong continued:
"It's not just from the Slave Kingdom, but also from the grasslands, the Western Regions, or even further afield. Tsk tsk tsk, those women are quite remarkable."
I've also heard that the blonde, blue-eyed, long-legged, and big-butt women in the north and west are quite attractive.
"As the Son of Heaven, I am unworthy to enjoy such a privilege, but you will all be fine."
After saying that, Liu Hong glanced at Xi Zhicai with envy.
It's as if it's saying: Look, being an emperor isn't easy, and I can't just touch any woman, but you can. I'm so envious.
At this moment, Xi Zhicai ignored Liu Hong's envious gaze and remained completely bewildered.
He didn't know where the emperor had learned all this, how he knew so much about women from all over the country.
Why does the emperor who talks about women from all directions seem so different from the wise and powerful one he knew? Or was the emperor always like this?
"The emperor covets those places, is it really just because those places are good? Or is it for some other reason...?"
For a moment, looking at Liu Hong who was talking eloquently, Xi Zhicai's thoughts were completely in disarray.
"Zhicai...?"
Seeing Xi Zhicai standing there with his mouth agape, not saying a word, Liu Hong couldn't help but wave his hand in front of him.
"Ah? Oh, Your Majesty, I'm fine. Please continue!"
Xi Zhicai then came to his senses, quickly put away his bizarre thoughts, put on a serious face and looked at Liu Hong with a look of full attention.
Seeing this, Liu Hong simply nodded, not thinking much of it, and continued excitedly:
"In short, we Han men must ensure that our women are treated equally, right? Let women from all directions see the inclusiveness of Han men."
"Of course... those women can't be your principal wives, but they can be your concubines, maids, or something like that!"
After saying that, Liu Hong looked at Xi Zhicai, who was still in a daze, and asked:
"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Uh... I think I understand now. It's about using the charm of our Han men to attract their women... and then leaving all their men single, is that right?"
Xi Zhicai swallowed hard and said uncertainly.
Liu Hong nodded. "That's right, that's exactly it. This way, when they see that we, the mighty Han men, are willing to accept them, the rest will naturally throw themselves into our arms. In the end, what can a race of men do?"
"Your Majesty is right, this is indeed a, uh... a good idea!!"
Xi Zhicai finally understood that the emperor's words were clearly a ploy to use his civil and military officials and soldiers as bait.
Liu Hong couldn't help but laugh smugly:
"Haha~, right? I also think this is a good idea. All the women from all directions should belong to my Great Han. That would be true harmony for the world!"
"If Zhicai gets tired of hugging his wife, he can switch to a woman from this country tonight and another from that ethnic group tomorrow night, enjoying beauties from all over the world. Tsk tsk tsk, thinking about it like that, it's really enviable!"
