From the two major tribes in the Yellow River Basin, China gradually assimilated and annexed the surrounding barbarians, assimilated the Dongyi in Shandong, the Xirong in Guanlong, the Nanman in Jingchu, and the Beidi in Shanxi, Hebei, and finally formed a civilization circle radiating the two major basins of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

Since then, in all dynasties, except for special periods such as the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Chinese cultural circle has expanded outward and gradually assimilated the surrounding ethnic groups for the vast majority of time.

Many foreign races who have left their reputation in history are either defeated by China or gradually assimilated by China and disappear into the long river of history.

Zhao Ming believed in the ability of Chinese culture to assimilate foreign races. Even Jews who claimed to have been unable to be assimilated for thousands of years were assimilated after coming to China.

Wandering for thousands of years, but not assimilated. Such a powerful nation has been assimilated when it comes to China, which shows the strength and advancedness of Chinese culture.

Zhao Ming believed that if the Ming Dynasty did not perish and always maintained its status as the Celestial Empire and formed a strong cultural, economic and military position in the surrounding areas, North Korea, Annan, and even Japan would gradually become Chinese.

However, although he had this confidence, China was often tolerant and gentle towards the sinicization of foreign races, and did not actively promote sinicization, but an indifferent attitude.

This makes it a long process to Chineseize a nation, which often takes more than a hundred years or even longer.

If there is any turmoil in China in the middle, its power declines, and the process of Chineseization that has been going on for decades and is even about to be successful will be interrupted and even receded.

Zhao Ming has enough cultural confidence, and he does not doubt that as long as Wu Yue exists, the Koreans, Japanese, and even Bai Fans in the territory of Wu Yue will be sinicized a hundred years later. However, Zhao Ming does not want to wait for that long and is worried about changes in the middle, so he wants to achieve sinicization as soon as possible through administrative intervention.

After hearing the opinions of his staff, Zhao Ming nodded slightly. Zhao Ming hoped to speed up the Chineseization speed, but did not want to change the characteristics of Han culture and enlightenment and tolerance. So giving a certain reward to Chineseization is a good strategy.

The Koreans and the Japanese worshipped Han culture, and driven by the interests of reducing taxes, they will definitely accelerate the Chineseization.

Zhao Ming smiled and said to many aides: "This proposal can be quickly implemented in North Korea. I will go to the government to discuss the principles, and we must also formulate corresponding policies within the territory of our Wu Yue Kingdom."

"I will accept the order!" The aide immediately saluted.

Zhao Ming suddenly remembered something and immediately said: "The proverb created by Sejong of Korea will not be used in the future. In the future, all the entire territory of Korea will be written with Chinese characters."

The atmosphere suddenly became strange among the Korean ministers in the hall.

If Zhao Ming's strategies are implemented, the Koreans will become Han people in a few decades.

This is a good thing for the Koreans who yearn for the Celestial Empire, but it is not a blessing for some Koreans who are in high positions.

If all Koreans were transformed into Han people, would the Joseon Kingdom still have to exist? Wouldn't the Joseon Dynasty have destroyed its country and destroyed its race, like the Xianbei, disappearing from the world.

This made some Korean ministers very dissatisfied with the strategy that Zhao Ming would implement.

This is the national consciousness that comes from their gradually awakening, and also from considerations for their own interests.

After Zhao Ming finished speaking, seeing that many Korean ministers did not respond, he couldn't help but frown and glanced at everyone, "Do you have any objections?"

When everyone heard the words, they lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming narrowed his eyes, "It seems that you still have some opinions. Gu Yi is good at accepting words and treating others with kindness. You can express different opinions. In this way, to show fairness, everyone raises their hands to vote, raises their hands in favor, and does not move against them!"

After saying that, Zhao Ming raised his hand and then glanced at everyone.

North Korean Marshal Lin Qingzhi raised his hand first, and the remaining North Koreans raised their hands as they looked at them.

Zhao Ming smiled: "Everyone agrees with this proposal! Since that's the case, let's follow the words of the Lord!"

Many Korean ministers could only kneel down and receive the order.

After the discussion, Zhao Ming immediately stood up and everyone saluted and sent Zhao Ming into the inner hall.

After Zhao Ming left, the Korean ministers in the hall stood up one after another and walked out.

People in the hall came out in a row, and Choi Chengxiu, the North Korean national ceremony, grabbed the letter. Kim Jong-won, the official Cao Juan, couldn't help but ask: "Jin Juan, why did you raise your hand just now?"

Kim Jong-yuan glanced at Cui Chengxiu, shook her sleeves, and broke away with her angrily, saying, "Hmph, the King of Wu Yue glanced at her. Who dared not raise her hand in front of him? Don't you raise it?"

Choi Chengxiu was speechless for a while~~~~~~

Zhao Ming withdrew from the meeting hall and came to the backyard of the mansion, preparing for meals.

At this time, it was already noon and hungry. The chef in the mansion prepared a sumptuous dish for Zhao Ming, including spicy cabbage, cakes, soy sauce soup, and a bowl of rice.

Zhao Ming picked up the bowls and chopsticks and was eating kimchi. Zhang Jiayu, the army officer, suddenly walked over quickly and saluted: "Your Highness, thank you Governor, urgently report!"

"Oh?" Zhao Ming asked in confusion, put down his bowls and chopsticks, and asked, "What's new news outside the pass?"

Zhang Jiayu said: "Your Highness, the Qing army outside the pass has withdrawn. Our vanguard has already occupied Haizhou and Liaoyang. Deputy Governor Chen Youlong is advancing to Shenyang and will occupy the area soon."

Zhao Ming was surprised when he heard the words, "Where are all the Qing troops outside the pass to retreat?"

There were more than 100,000 Qing troops outside the pass. They easily captured Haizhou and Liaoyang and marched towards Shenyang. Either the Qing army set up a trap, or the Qing Dynasty had given up outside the pass.

Zhang Jiayu said: "Report to Your Highness, Governor Xie sent a scout to investigate, and the Qing army did all withdraw."

Zhao Ming fell into deep thought, "Although I sent 10,000 troops to build a village in the Daling River and intercept the Qing army's supplies outside the pass, the Qing army's reserves should be able to support it for a while. Now the north wind is rampant, and it is inconvenient to transport by sea, so it is also difficult for us. The Qing army gave up outside the pass at this time, right? "

Zhang Jiayu smiled and took out another memorial from her sleeve, and smiled and said, "Your Highness is wise and has a good guess, Ajige is back."

Zhao Ming was excited when he heard the slightest, stood up suddenly, and exclaimed: "This matter is serious!"

Zhang Jiayu said: "This is an urgent report from Jiangdong!"

Zhao Ming hurriedly took it, opened it for a moment, and the report said that Shunzhi failed to send Yue Le to assassinate Ajige. Ajige was angry and raised an army in Xuzhou. More than 100,000 troops defeated Luke Dehun in Gaotang Prefecture, and the army approached Beijing.

From this point of view, it is reasonable for Shunzhi to give up outside the pass.

Although it was the old nest of the Qing Dynasty outside the pass, it was barren. With Ajige about to come to Beijing, Shunzhi had to give up outside the pass and mobilize troops outside the pass to enter the pass for reinforcements, and fight against Ajige.
