Chapter 1282

Ying Ying Zi Ye had thought the Xiongnu soldiers would put up some resistance.

Who knew they would surrender so quickly.

As for what to do, that was easy to handle.

He had previously wanted to take the great grasslands; in the future, this place would be Great Qin's horse-breeding farm.

Now, this goal could be considered achieved.

As for these Xiongnu captives, it would be inappropriate to kill them all.

With nearly four hundred thousand Xiongnu soldiers, killing them all would incur too much bad karma.

Currently, the entire population of Great Qin was only a little over twenty million.

The population was still far too small.

According to Ying Ying Zi Ye's idea, the plan was to assimilate the Xiongnu.

Let them intermarry with the people of Great Qin and slowly change them.

In the long run, the Xiongnu would cease to exist.

The Xiongnu tribes would all be assimilated into Qin people.

In the future, this territory would be incorporated into the map of Great Qin.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at those Xiongnu captives.

Suddenly having hundreds of thousands of captives was truly a headache.

Arranging for them was also a troublesome matter.

"These Xiongnu... just send them back to Great Qin."

"Let them do hard labor first, and have them participate in Great Qin's infrastructure construction."

"Once Great Qin's infrastructure is mostly complete, those who show good behavior can be allowed to stay and live in Great Qin."

"By scattering those who behave well across various parts of Great Qin, there will be no fear of them harboring any crooked thoughts."

"Those who do not behave well will continue with reform through labor until they show good behavior."

Ying Ying Zi Ye's words left General Meng Tian and the other generals speechless for a long while.

Everyone looked at each other.

They had not expected His Highness to arrange for these Xiongnu soldiers in such a way.

Was doing this really a good idea?

After all, these Xiongnu soldiers were no good.

Do not forget their previous list of crimes.

Would it be appropriate to let them integrate into Great Qin?

"Your Highness, this general objects!"

"The Xiongnu are so brutal; how can we let them integrate into Great Qin?!"

"These uncivilized barbarians should be exterminated!"

"Even if we don't exterminate them, we cannot let them integrate into Great Qin!"

"That's right, Your Highness, please think twice!"

"They are not good people; letting them integrate into Great Qin is simply a defilement of us."

"We firmly disagree! Please, Your Highness, retract your order!"

"Please, Your Highness, retract your order!"

Almost all the generals opposed this strategy.

How could they let the Xiongnu integrate into Great Qin?

These Xiongnu still harbored fierce intentions.

Only a few people remained silent.

Grand General Meng Tian, as well as Wang Ben and Wang Li, did not speak.

They believed that His Highness's decision was not that simple.

Every time His Highness made a decision, it seemed inconceivable at the time.

But afterwards, it was discovered to be the most correct choice.

Now that His Highness had made such a decision, they found it hard to fathom.

But there must be some deep meaning behind it.

Otherwise, His Highness would not have made such a decision.

This decision currently seemed truly bad.

Integrating the Xiongnu into Great Qin, it was estimated that even the Emperor would not do such a thing.

"Do you all object?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the generals, somewhat speechless.

He had not expected them to have such strong opinions about the Xiongnu.

This was somewhat unexpected for him.

However, they did not understand this grand goal.

After all, they were not standing in the same position.

His current approach, it was estimated that only Brother Zheng could see a glimmer of the truth.

"Can Your Highness enlighten us?"

Deputy General Sun asked, biting the bullet.

The remaining generals looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye with longing.

They also wanted to know why.

Why His Highness would make such a bizarre decision.

"This Highness can only tell you one thing."

"As for whether you can understand it, that depends on you."

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the generals and slowly spat out a few words.

"Great Qin has too few people."

Once these words were out.

Everyone was stunned.

What did these words mean?

Great Qin has too few people?

Is it still too few?

Doesn't Great Qin have a lot of people?

The generals were still looking blank.

But Meng Tian, Wang Li, and the others nodded thoughtfully. ===== CHAPTER 1284 =====
