When Li Jicheng led a group of people into India's Orissa Province, it was the winter of the eighteenth year of Hongxing on the side of Daming, and the New Year was about to be celebrated. Zhu Cihong, who has been the lord of the Ming Dynasty for eighteen years, did not know at this time that his old rival, the Dashun Empire, was invading India.

However, he still cares about India, an ancient civilization, especially after reading the poetry collection of Princess Nissa translated by Persian experts in Taixue, he likes India even more......

Unlike Li Jicheng, a robber who only likes the wealth of Indians, Zhu Cihong sincerely hopes to become friends with the Timurid Empire of India.

In his view, an independent Timurid empire of India was in the long-term interests of the Great Ming Dynasty. Because he knows that the reason why the British Empire in history became a super power was because of the exploitation of India! Without 230 million Indian Ah San working for the UK, where would it be so easy for the UK to become an empire on which the sun never sets?

Therefore, Zhu Cihong's Indian policy was to maintain the Timurid Empire as much as possible, and to establish a lasting alliance with the Timurid Empire, and not to allow any Western powers to invade India!

Of course, the Ming Dynasty himself would not invade India. Because the Ming Dynasty did not have the ability to exclude other powers while invading India, the invasion of India could easily turn into a partition of India...... How much can Da Ming score? It's not a good deal!

In addition, India has too many people, and it is too embarrassing to exterminate - people want to be untouchables in peace, who can bear to exterminate them? Therefore, the occupation of India by the Ming Dynasty must have been short-lived, and it may even have very bad consequences.

Such as the unification of India and the end of the Indian caste system!

These two events, which could lead to the rise of India in the future, could not have succeeded either by the Indians themselves or by the Timurid Empire. Even if Aurangzeb could rely on the thugs brought by Central Asia to unify India for a short time, a long-term split was inevitable.

Because the Timurid Empire was internally unstable, there was no system that could make the country stable for a long time, and every succession to the throne was a fire, and sooner or later it would break itself to pieces - this system was not unique to the Timurid Empire, it was the case with all the Celestial Religion countries, including the Ottoman Empire. However, the Ottoman Empire developed the "Inheritance Law of Homicide", which overcame the problem of internal strife to a certain extent, so it was able to confront Christendom for a long time.

Therefore, maintaining as much as possible, rather than destroying the Timurid Empire, is definitely the most beneficial to the Ming Empire!

However, Zhu Cihong would not lower his standards for concubines just because he wanted to establish friendly relations with the Timurid Empire...... The exam for Princess Nissa must be of high standards and strict requirements!

Zhu Cixi, who has just graduated from Ying Tiantaixue, is now taking four widows and palace maids who are a little older, with thick hands and feet, and who are from the working people at first glance (they will accompany Zhu Ciwei to Princess Kaunisa, and at the same time be responsible for the princess's physical examination), and listen to Emperor Zhu explain the key points of the assessment in the Yanshan Hall of the Laoshan Palace.

"Sixth, how did you do in Arabic?" Zhu Cihong asked about Zhu Cihong's foreign language results.

Emperor Zhu's Taixue was actually a higher education institution that focused on the arts and sciences, offering a number of foreign language courses, including Latin, French, Dutch, English, German, Arabic and Persian - the purpose of these foreign language courses was, of course, to better interpret the "Zi Treatise on Gewu"!

Because the scholars of Taixue have discovered that the study of Gewu in the East and the West is the same, it is very beneficial to study the study of Gewu in the West.

Zhu Ciwei was proficient in French before he was admitted to Taixue, and he could read the French version of the mathematical works on the European side (he majored in arithmetic), but there were also many arithmetic works on the Tianfangjiao and Indian side, so he took Arabic.

"Good test," Zhu Ciwei said with a smile, "The courtier should be able to talk to Princess Nissa in Arabic." ”

The collection of poems that Princess Nissa gave to Zhu Cihong was written in both Persian and Arabic, so Zhu Cixi knew that Princess Nisha's Arabic was good.

"Very good," Zhu Cihong nodded, "Then you can test her in Arabic...... Have you thought of the topic? ”

"I've already thought about it," Zhu Cixi said with a smile, "Cow Crid's Geometric Originals...... The Sangha king's recital says that Princess Nissa was proficient in arithmetic and must have studied the Geometry Original, which was translated into Arabic and Persian. If she can really be proficient, then the younger brother will congratulate the royal brother. ”

Of course, Zhu Cihong has mastered the mathematical knowledge in "The Original Geometry" a long time ago, and he has also read the original and knows that the most wonderful thing about this book lies in rigorous logical reasoning - this is the foundation of mathematics!

If anyone can read the "Geometry Original" intensively, then this person's logical thinking ability will definitely not be bad. If a young and beautiful woman can read through the "Geometry Originals" mainly by self-study without receiving a systematic mathematics education, then she is definitely worth Zhu Cihong!

"Good!" Zhu Cihong was very satisfied with this brother, "Sixth, among my brothers, you are the smartest, work hard, and when Jinling Women's University is established, you will be the first director!" ”

Si Ye is the principal, Jinling Women's University is the alma mater of the future concubine of the Ming Dynasty, the Si Ye of Jinling Women's University is amazing, the future queen, concubine, and princess are all his students, this pillow wind blows, it is really a pig can blow to the sky.

"The courtiers will live up to the trust of the royal brother." Of course, Zhu Ciwei was very satisfied with the work arranged for him by Emperor Zhu, and hurriedly got up and bowed and thanked him.

Zhu Cihong smiled: "Sixth, let's go after the New Year...... Remember, go and get back! ”

He paused, "I have just received a report from the Northwest Army that Aurangzeb has abandoned Samarkand and returned to Tianzhu with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the river, and it is estimated that you should be able to return to Delhi next summer, and you will almost arrive in Tianzhu by then." ”

Of course, Zhu Ciwei understood his brother's feelings, and hurriedly promised: "Brother Huang, don't worry, my brother must hurry up and bring Princess Nissa back to you before the end of next year." ”

"Don't forget to test her well!" Zhu Cihong smiled and admonished, "The dowry can't be missing...... Tianzhu's wealth is second only to China, and if the dowry is too small, it will not show the dignity of the princess! ”

"Brother Chen, understand!" Zhu Ciwei said, "The princess's dowry must not be less than 100,000 taels of gold!" ”

Now the gold price of Daming has been in line with international standards, and 100,000 taels of gold is almost 1.3 million to 1.4 million taels of silver, which is indeed a lot...... At least in Emperor Zhu's opinion, it is already very satisfying!

However, if Princess Nissa herself knew Zhu Cihong's asking price at this time, she would definitely not be satisfied - she wanted too little!

It does not reflect the value of this princess at all...... Because this princess is no longer a maiden who has never been married, but a rich widow!

The reason why she is "widowed" is because she did not have a wedding with Prince Alim at all, let alone a cave house. But she still held a grand funeral for both of them as the surviving prince of Alim and the daughter-in-law of Anusa Khan.

Now that Anusha Khan is "dead", Prince Alim is also dead, and Anusha Khan's other sons are "missing", so the more than 10,000 Uzbek cavalry who followed Prince Alim to Samarkand can only swear allegiance to Princess Nisha, and then Princess Nisha will swear allegiance to Aurangzeb on their behalf...... After doing this, Princess Nissa is not only a princess of the Timurid Empire of India, but also a vassal of the Emperor of the Timurid Empire of India!

She could not keep her territory and the army, but a generous pension was indispensable, according to Aurangzeb's will, and upon her return to India, her pension would be raised from 400,000 rupees to 1 million rupees a year.

In addition, Aurangzeb will make up the dowry that she did not pay when she married Prince Alim, a full 5 million rupees!
