C3480 Why did the old marshal have to go all out? (1/2)

Why did the old marshal fight with his life on the line?

Ceng Guofan had seen the stronghold's plan before, before Xiao Letian left for Europe, he had secretly talked with Ceng Guofan about it, and talked about how to obtain the ten million square kilometers of Qing Dynasty.

The future might not be a country dominated by Chinese, but it would definitely be a country dominated by Chinese. And the Chinese people would directly inherit the Chinese civilization, which was a common national complex where the Han people mostly merged with the rest of the Chinese people.

It was a bit like nationalism, but it was not as narrow-minded as people thought, because this race was not made by bloodline genes. It was made by culture, only by culture!

To define the nation in terms of culture was a task that could only be accomplished by the Chinese, because only the Chinese had experience, because only the Chinese civilization in the world was continuous and unbroken.

The Han bloodline in the Qing Dynasty was already in chaos. Compared to the Han bloodline in the early days of the Han Dynasty, it had undergone many times the fusion of different races!

Over thousands of years of history, many races had disappeared into the river of history. Many had become the surnames of the hundreds of clans.

Do you promote narrow-minded bloodline nationalism in this kind of country? Wasn't this a joke? Was he slapping his own ancestor's face? Perhaps you are the descendant of the people you are scolding, and you are scolding your own ancestors?

Therefore, Ceng Guofan approved of Xiao Letian's proposed Chinese concept. This kind of cultural nationalism was very much to the taste of the traditional Chinese literati.

It could be said that once the concept of Chinese was introduced, people didn't say anything on the surface. However, as long as you observed it carefully, you would find that the attitudes of the different social classes were very acceptable.

So what if it was the Manchu, what if it was the deceiver? There were actually not many people who were scolding the streets!

In truth, after fusing with each other for more than two hundred years, the Manchu, the Meng people and the other people had all written the same language.

The holidays were the same as well. There wasn't much of a difference between married couples, and the values in their bones were the same as well. They all knew that they had to respect their parents and not take liberties with other families' wives.

Basic good and evil are all the same, reading, writing, talking and even eating and eating are all the same.

This was already considered a united community in terms of culture. According to the Chinese standard, if this was not a unified nation, then what was?

Therefore, in order for the Chinese to unite with China, under such a system of values, the different nationalities would not complain too much and the wave of resistance would not be too fierce.

However, the concept of the Chinese race really had to become a nation. There was still a lot of detail to be done because no regime would voluntarily withdraw from the stage of history.

War was inevitable. There was no way out without blood!

It was a good plan to win the battle, and it was a good idea to think carefully about how to fight the most economical!

Xiao Letian was not an idiot, he would not fight battles where he lost money.

You can't just die for the sake of a just cause? You can't let the citizens spend their wealth in vain, right?

After thinking about it, the stronghold's plan was the most suitable!

To take a simple example, if you want to control an entire body, if you're going to be ruling in the past, you'll have to place ruling officials all over the county, and you'll also have to have violent agencies to help manage them.

You have to take all the crossings, passes, bridges, rivers... All the important military areas were heavily guarded, and then barracks were set up in every populous city.

This way, you can guard against any possible enemy invasion or internal rebellion!

How many soldiers would they need to raise? It was impossible without a hundred thousand yuan!

After humanity entered the new era, due to the development of science and technology, the means of governance had rapidly increased!
