Chapter 373: Asian Unification
……
Hyderabad.
Inside the palace.
Ning Quan sat in the upper position, looking coldly at the Mughal emperor and his ministers kneeling below.
The Mughal emperor was filled with humiliation and hung his head.
As for the ministers, they were trembling with fear to the extreme.
Because they don't know what will happen to them next.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Daqian, I am willing to give up all the property of the empire, just to spare my life!" The Mughal emperor suddenly raised his head and begged.
"Oh, really?" Ning Quan said lightly.
"Yes, I am willing to give away all my property and I beg Your Majesty to let me go far away." said the Mughal emperor.
"Hehe... do you think this is possible?"
Hearing this, Ning Quan laughed sarcastically twice.
"What do you want?" the Mughal emperor asked in horror.
"Not so good! If you want to survive, you only have two options."
"First, immediately issue an order in your name to all states across the country to lay down their arms and surrender."
"Second, you and your family, including your ministers, can only go to America to settle down."
"In this way... maybe I can consider sparing your life."
"Otherwise, today will be the day you die." Ning Quan said coldly.
"Do not……"
"I do, I do, I do..."
The Mughal emperor was startled and said quickly.
"Very good, in that case, then call for the entire nation to surrender immediately."
"I will naturally keep my promise and spare your lives." Ning Quan said lightly.
"Yes, yes! I understand."
The Mughal emperor nodded hastily and then wrote an edict.
Upon seeing this, Ning Quan immediately sent people to deliver the imperial edict to various places, and then had them taken away.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to let them go? Will there be any consequences?"
Gao Xiang on the side said worriedly.
"Hehe...it's okay. Once we go to America, they won't have any control over it." Ning Quan said lightly.
"Your Majesty is wise." Gao Xiang complimented.
"Okay, you go down and do your work."
"Hurry up and contact Generals Li Jing and Yue Fei. Separate your forces and pacify the Mughals as soon as possible."
"Yes! Your Majesty."
Gao Xiang stepped back.
.........
A few days later, the emperor's edict spread throughout the country.
Officials from various states surrendered one after another after receiving the imperial edict.
In less than a month, the entire Mughal Empire completely submitted to Daqian.
Then, the Mughal emperor, along with his royal family and ministers, embarked on a journey to America.
Ning Quan did not break his promise, so he didn't have to break it.
After all, America was too far away, and there was no soil for them to rebel.
At the same time, Zhou Yu's offensive on Luzon and Kalimantan had also ended.
Under Zhou Yu's command, the Daqian army easily occupied the two islands.
At present, Zhou Yu is setting his sights on Sumatra, the last piece of territory in Southeast Asia that does not belong to Daqian.
Ning Quan stayed in Hyderabad for a total of one month.
The Mughal Empire was a large country with a large population, and governing it was a very troublesome matter.
Ning Quan did a lot of things during this period. He transferred Zhangsun Wuji to serve as the governor of Mughal and equipped him with more than 20,000 candidate officials.
Taking the language problem into consideration, Ning Quan gave Changsun Wuji another two thousand system officials.
In this way, Changsun Wuji was more than capable of controlling the Mughal regime.
In addition to Changsun Wuji, Ning Quan also left Li Jing to sit in Mughal and take charge of military affairs.
With him around, we can deal with all kinds of rebellions and external threats.
As for Yue Fei and Gao Xiang, they were transferred to Beiting by Ning Quan.
If we were to ask who Ning Quan’s next target would be, it would undoubtedly be Persia and the Arabs.
Both countries are very powerful and strong.
If you want to take them down, you must gather a large force.
But these are all things for later.
Next, it’s time to rest and recuperate.
Daqian has been at war for two consecutive years and cannot continue to fight endlessly.
After arranging everything, Ning Quan returned to the capital.
……
Daqian capital, the imperial palace.
In the pavilion in the imperial garden, Ning Quan was drinking tea with Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen.
"Your Majesty, General Zhou is about to take over Sumatra. What are your plans next?"
Zhuge Liang asked after pondering for a moment.
"What does the Prime Minister mean?"
Ning Quan asked back.
"Your Majesty, what I mean is that it's time to call a truce. We have conquered such a large territory in two years, and we need to digest and absorb it." Zhuge Liang said.
"Hmm... Prime Minister, what you said makes sense. I think so too."
"Conquering the territory is only the first step. How to educate them is the key. If we can't turn the people in the territory into the subjects of Daqian, everything will be in vain and there will definitely be trouble in the future." Ning Quan said seriously.
"Your Majesty has far-sightedness, and I admire you." Zhuge Liang complimented.
"Hahaha, stop flattering me. I called you and the military advisor here to discuss this matter."
"Do the Prime Minister and the Military Advisor have any good ideas?"
"I do have a suggestion, which is to build more schools to teach Chinese language and etiquette, starting from the basics." Liu Bowen suggested.
"Hmm? It's indeed a method, but it's very difficult to implement. It would require so many teachers." Ning Quan frowned.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about this. I have already recruited widely and I believe we will soon have a group of outstanding teachers."
"But this is not enough, other measures are needed," said Zhuge Liang.
"Prime Minister, please continue." Ning Quan said.
"These measures are modeled after Japan's practices," Zhuge Liang said.
"By imitating Japan, Prime Minister, do you mean... to destroy their culture and historical heritage?" Ning Quan was stunned.
"Yes, although this is cruel, it is necessary. Otherwise, the continuous inheritance will eventually lead to disaster." Zhuge Liang said firmly.
Upon hearing this, Ning Quan fell silent.
This approach is certainly effective, but it is also quite extreme.
He carried out cultural genocide in Japan because he hated that nation.
But the fact that other countries have implemented it makes him hesitate.
After all, every nation has its own culture.
Wouldn’t it be a pity if it was destroyed?
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. In fact, apart from the Mughals, the countries of Indochina and Southeast Asia have always been greatly influenced by the Daqian regime. Han culture and Han etiquette have long been deeply rooted in their hearts."
"To put it bluntly, these countries don't have any independent cultural heritage, so educating them isn't difficult at all."
Seeing Ning Quan's concerns, Zhuge Liang smiled.
"Yes, why didn't I think of that?"
"That's exactly the case."
Hearing this, Ning Quan suddenly understood.
That’s right, the countries in Central and South China, as well as the Southeast Asian countries, have always been deeply influenced by Daqian.
Even the writing and language were inherited from Daqian.
Moreover, they have always yearned for Han culture, advocated rituals and music, and respected Confucius and Mencius.
That being said, there's really no need to worry.
"In that case, then do it your way."
“But what about the Mughal Empire?”
Ning Quan asked.
