Chu Fan really wanted to directly eliminate all the natives of Japan, but it was not realistic to eliminate them all directly.
Chu Fan really wanted to kill all the natives of Japan, but if he really killed all the natives of Japan, he would feel a great sense of satisfaction, but doing so would bring many unpredictable consequences.
The first is that the population of Japan has now dropped sharply to a very small number. Japan is now completely desolate. Even if the population is migrated from Wei, it will take a long time to recover and develop.
Furthermore, if the natives of Wa were gone, then the food supply for the people migrating from Wei would be a huge problem. Even if all the warships of Wei were used to transport the migrating people, it would not be possible to quickly complete the transfer and resettlement of a large population in a short period of time.
The second problem is that the State of Wei has now developed to a very powerful stage. In the past year, the officials and people in the State of Wei have been thinking about washing away the shame of being invaded by the Huns and the Qian Kingdom. Therefore, even if they do not lead the army in person, the State of Wei will start a war under the influence of public opinion of the people and court ministers.
If Wa, the first country occupied by Wei, was completely wiped out by Wei, then when Wei attacked other countries on Shengwu Continent, those countries would inevitably fight to the death after seeing the fate of Wa, and would even fight to the death even if they knew they had no chance of winning, which would greatly increase the casualties of Wei soldiers.
Chu Fan didn't want to make the Wei soldiers pay a greater price because of his own selfish desires. After all, he had watched the current Wei develop step by step. If the Wei soldiers suffered unnecessary losses because of his decisions, he would find it difficult to feel at ease.
The third problem is that if the indigenous people of Wa are completely exterminated now, then the emperor of Wei and the entire Wei Kingdom will leave an image of cruelty and inhumaneness to the ordinary people on the Shengwu Continent. At that time, even some people in Wei will think that the rule of Wei is too cruel, which may cause civil unrest.
Maybe someone would say that there was a rebellion in the State of Wei, so wouldn’t Chu Fan be able to complete the task?
Deep down, Chu Fan had given up on completing his mission in this way. He had been in this world for more than a year, and he was the emperor of Wei. As the ruler of Wei, he was the father of all the people in Wei. If the decisions he made due to his selfish desires really led to unrest in Wei and made the people suffer, how could he feel at ease?
After weighing the pros and cons of various factors, Chu Fan came to a relatively safe decision.
Chu Fan said, "Regarding the matter of Wa, Minister Mu and the other generals of the Ministry of War should discuss it together. My requirement for the natives of Wa is that they must not be allowed to organize any resistance in the short term. Even the Japanese people who are very loyal to our Wei Kingdom cannot be allowed to gather in large numbers. Otherwise, after our Wei Kingdom completely eliminates the threats from other countries and forces on the Shengwu Continent, these Japanese people are likely to stab us in the back.
By then, even if our Wei soldiers and warriors can completely suppress these Japanese people, many soldiers and warriors will be harmed. We must control such risks to the lowest level.
As for the problem of too few people in Wa who are able to work and produce, the Royal Government Affairs Office has already instructed Prime Minister Cao to call on the people of Wei's ethnic minorities to come to Wa to cultivate land and settle there. At the same time, ensure that the proportion of these ethnic minorities in Wa's population is not too high. Maintain a balanced population among the various ethnic groups to prevent any one group from dominating and thus prevent the emergence of new local rulers in Wa."
Chu Fan's words made everyone present very puzzled. Why were it not the Han people who migrated to Wei State, but the ethnic minority people were chosen to settle in Wa State?
As the prince of the Royal Government Affairs Office, Chu Anran, who directly handled government affairs with Chu Fan, naturally wanted to know the reason behind His Majesty's decision. After all, in Chu Anran's mindset, migrating a large number of Han Chinese to Japan was the safest option. After all, Han Chinese people were more receptive to Wei's rule, and it would be easier to assimilate the Japanese people.
Chu Anran saw the bewildered expressions of Cao Mengde and the others. Clearly, no one present knew the underlying reasons behind His Majesty's decision. If the reasons behind this decision were not clearly clarified, slackness and doubts would inevitably arise during implementation, which would not only affect the efficiency and stability of policy implementation but also potentially undermine His Majesty's subsequent strategic plans.
Chu Anran asked, "Your Majesty, why did you relocate Han Chinese people from Wei to Wa instead of letting ethnic minorities migrate there? I thought Han Chinese people have a stronger sense of identity with Wei and would be more likely to assimilate the people of Wa."
Chu Fan smiled evilly and explained, "I naturally know that the Han people, as the majority of Wei, have a stronger sense of identity with Wei and are more likely to assimilate the natives of Japan. But who told you that I want to assimilate the people of Japan? The orders I have always given to the Ministry of War are to reduce the number of natives in Japan as much as possible. What I want is to completely eliminate the natives of Japan in the next few years or decades, or make them an insignificant minority.
Rather than allowing the natives of the Japanese Kingdom to assimilate into the Han ethnic group and pollute the pure bloodline of the Han ethnic group, this is something I absolutely will not allow to happen in the Wei Kingdom."
