Chapter 1242 ?? Let's form an alliance!
Aurangzeb frowned and said: "Can you be more specific? What exactly is tested in mathematics? What is tested in literature? How is martial arts tested? And Chinese... The princess only learned a little bit of the Chinese language.
I’m afraid I won’t do well in the writing test!”
He still hopes to promote the marriage. He must unite with Ming Dynasty to resist and submit, but he cannot let Dashun Kingdom become the second Indian Timurid Empire!
But he is also worried that his daughter will not do well in the exam - although everyone knows that Princess Nisha is talented, Princess Nisha has never taken the exam. Exams are not popular in India. Moreover, Nisha is more knowledgeable in mathematics and literature.
How much can the princess know? She hasn't studied Chinese well, so how can she take the test? There is also martial arts... Does the Chinese emperor choose concubines or generals? Why should he take the martial arts test?
Of course, Princess Nisha still has some three-legged cat kung fu. She is also a Mongolian, and her father is a very warlike Aurangzeb. So she still has the skills of horseback riding and archery, but she is not particularly proficient.
I wonder if I can pass the exam?
"The mathematics test "Elements of Geometry" can be answered in Arabic." Zhu Cibing has already customized the test content for Princess Nisha. "The literature test is Arabic, Persian poetry and writing. The martial arts test is horse riding, archery, and fencing.
.As for Chinese...the test is reading and calligraphy, a rough proficiency is enough."
Aurangzeb breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed not difficult. The only mathematics test was "Elements of Geometry", and the princess was quite proficient in it.
Then there are three foreign languages (Princess Nisha’s mother tongue is Urdu). Two of them, Arabic and Persian, are certainly not easy to reach the level of writing poetry, but Princess Nisha is a real Indian.
If I had been a top student, I would have been admitted to Imperial College India! So there is no problem.
As for proficiency in Chinese, there is a slight problem... Princess Nisha began to learn Chinese after she knew she was going to China. But the problem is that there are no good teachers in the Hezhong area, and she only found two doing business in the Hezhong area.
A Shanxi businessman, who barely taught her for a few months. Now she can only speak some spoken English, but doesn't know many Chinese characters, let alone write articles and poems. However, Aurangzeb is confident in his daughter's IQ. As long as
With a good teacher, her Chinese will definitely be improved.
As for the martial arts test, there should be no problem with horseback riding, archery, and fencing... She is relatively proficient in horseback riding and archery, but slightly worse at fencing. The warriors of the Timurid Empire in India did not use swords, but scimitars.
The princess can play well with her scimitar, but her sword skills are not good, but she can find a teacher to give her some extra lessons.
Thinking of making up lessons, Aurangzeb said to Zhu Cibing: "Prince, when do you plan to arrange for the princess to take the exam? The princess has just returned to India from the river and is very tired. Can you let her rest for two or three months?"
In addition, the princess’s Chinese is not very good, mainly because she does not have a good teacher. Can you send a teacher who is proficient in Arabic and Chinese to teach her for three months?”
Zhu Cibing shook his head, "Isn't three months not enough?"
"Not enough?" Aurangzeb asked, "Not enough for what?"
"It's not enough to learn Chinese!" Zhu Cibing said, "Chinese language is very difficult to learn. I'm afraid three months is not enough."
"Really?" Aurangzeb said with a smile, "Let's give it a try...Princess Nisha has been eager to learn since she was a child. She was proficient in Arabic and Persian in just two or three months. Chinese is more difficult. Three
It’s time for Yue to be able to penetrate the vagina.”
What? Learned Arabic in three months? Zhu Cibing was shocked and said to himself: Is he really that smart? It took me three years to learn Arabic...
"Okay," Zhu Cibing nodded, "I will teach her myself."
Among the envoys who followed Zhu Cibing to India, Zhu Cibing himself was the most educated. Of course, he had to personally teach the princess.
Moreover, through extra lessons, Zhu Cibing could also test whether the princess was smart or stupid.
"That's great!" Aurangzeb smiled and said, "Let's discuss the princess's dowry again... I wonder how much dowry your Ming emperor should give to his daughter when he marries his daughter?"
dowry?
When Zhu Cibing heard Aurangzeb mention this matter, he couldn't help but frown.
Because Princess Nesa is not marrying Zhu Cixiang, she is not going to be a queen, but to be a noble concubine... The status of a noble concubine is just a concubine.
However, Emperor Zhu Cixiang, who was obsessed with money, had told him when he was bidding farewell to Zhu Cibing that he would need a larger dowry, at least two to three million taels!
"This Princess Nisha is not His Majesty's eldest wife," Zhu Cibing was too embarrassed to lie, so he had to tell the truth to Aurangzeb. She was the fourth wife of the Ming Emperor."
Now the first person in Zhu Cixiang's harem is of course Queen Wu Sanmei, the second is the imperial concubine Zheng Chagu, and the third is Jin Dongzhu who was promoted to the imperial concubine. Zhu Cixiang has already said that if Princess Nisha can "enter the palace",
I just jumped in line and ranked fourth - not because my father was the Indian Emperor Aurangzeb, but because I got in based on my ability!
Because Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to examinations!
"Fourth... is fine too!" Aurangzeb nodded, "How much should I give? Please tell me the number!"
Zhu Cibing didn't dare to ask for more, so he stretched out two fingers. Before he could speak, Aurangzeb nodded, "20 million rupees? OK... no problem! In addition, Princess Nisha also has 100 million rupees."
An annuity of 10,000 rupees can be continued after getting married.
As for the princess's personal property, it will also be shipped to the Ming Dynasty, which is probably several million rupees."
Princess Nisha is so rich? Zhu Cibing was a little greedy when he heard it, and thought to himself: How many daughters does this Aurangzeb have? Are there any who are not married?
Just when he was thinking about how to inquire, Aurangzeb had already started to make conditions.
"Princess Nisha is the apple of my eye," Aurangze preached. "If the Ming Emperor wants to marry her, he must meet my three conditions!"
Zhu Cibing asked: "What are the conditions?"
"First, His Majesty the Ming Emperor must cherish Princess Nisha forever." Aurangzeb said.
Zhu Cibing smiled and said: "Of course! As long as Her Royal Highness passes the exam, she will be my brother's beloved treasure!"
That’s right! The questions Zhu Cibing gave were so difficult and he still passed the exam... How could Emperor Zhu not like it?
Aurangzeb added: "Second, His Majesty the Ming Emperor must respect Princess Nisha's religious beliefs."
Zhu Cibing nodded and said: "The Emperor of Heaven protects all religions that are gentle and kind to people, but Princess Nessa's children must obey their father's teachings."
"Yes," Aurangzeb nodded, "There is also a third condition...that is, the Ming Empire must form an alliance with the Timurid Empire of India to jointly oppose the evil Shun Empire!"
"Of course there is no problem!" Zhu Cibing said with a smile, "This is something I, the Ming Dynasty, cannot ask for... Even if Your Majesty does not propose it, I will put forward the request for alliance on behalf of the Ming Dynasty Empire."
Zhu Cixiang wanted Princess Nanissa to be his concubine, of course, not only because of her beauty and intelligence, but mainly to establish an alliance with the Timurid Empire in India.
He who wins India wins the world!
Today, India has not lost its ability to defend itself... The 100,000 troops Aurangzeb brought back from the river alone cannot be captured by an expeditionary force of 10,000 or 20,000 people. Instead, one hundred and eighty thousand troops will be sent.
Wan Dajun once again exceeded the limit of the Ming Dynasty's shipping capabilities.
If this number of troops must be sent, they must first manage the Malacca Peninsula, then station troops and build ships in the northern part of the Malacca Peninsula, and finally cross the Bay of Bengal to land on the east coast of India. Without a few years or even ten years of operation, the Ming Empire would not be able to send
So many soldiers went to India - looking at how many years Dashun has been operating in Myanmar, you will know that this is not easy.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's India policy was to form an alliance with the Timur Empire in India.
Of course, the Timurid Empire in India cannot reach the Ming Dynasty. One dashun is enough for them to drink a pot, let alone the Ming Dynasty?
Aurangzeb also nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay! Then please ask His Highness the Prince to teach the princess Chinese as soon as possible... I assure you that my daughter is very smart and she will learn Chinese soon."
