Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 559 The Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty Reached a Preliminary Consensus (Subscribe!)

According to the records of British colonial history, there was once a 35-year-old woman from India, Vidyavati, who was asked to be buried by her family after her husband died.

But she doesn't want to because she still has three children to support.

But the villagers refused, thinking that when her husband passed away, the most decent choice for a woman would be to end her life by self-immolation.

So wave after wave of people began to do ideological work for Vidyavati, and finally even her mother and brother came and told her: If you refuse to set yourself on fire, it will affect the honor of our clan.

In desperation, Vidyavati had no choice but to dress up and was forced to walk onto the firewood stack.

But when the fire reached her, she suddenly realized: I can't be burned to death like this, it's too painful.So she immediately stood up and ran out.

It's a pity that her husband's brothers had already prepared wooden sticks, and she would be beaten back as long as she ran outside.They beat her and scolded her:
"Without your husband, what's the point of your life!"

In the end, under the watchful eyes of more than 400 people, Vidyavati was burned alive.

The British people who saw this scene were completely frightened and stupid. They thought it was a naked murder.

It is also because of this that during the British colonization of Tianzhu, it took a long time to suppress this bad habit.

However, even in the 21st century, there will still be rumors of Tianzhu widows sacrificing their husbands by fire.

However, Qing Dynasty does not intend to take care of this matter.

While Kangxi was talking, he glanced at Mircha, the general of the Tianzhu Sect, and said with a smile: "I guarantee that the Rajputs can continue to burn their widows until they don't want to burn them!"

His words were translated into Hindu, and the general Mircha showed a complimenting smile, "Khan, you are so wise! You will win the love of every Rajput!"

Also includes the widow who is about to be burned?

Kangxi Khan murmured in his heart, what the hell!
In the past, it was always said that the Manchus were barbarians. After I hit a circle, which one is not as barbaric as the Manchus?
He glanced at the young Sikh patriarch Gobind again. Gobind dismissed the first glance at Mircha and said, "No Sikh widow can be burned! And Sikhs don't need a caste!"

His words were translated into Mongolian.

"Of course not!"

The Kangxi Khan is now a standpoint, your widows, whether you like to burn or not, anyway, it is impossible to burn widows who are full of Eight Banners, Mongolian Eight Banners, and Han Eight Banners.

Not only can it not be burned, but those who are young and fertile have to remarry quickly!

These are the basic disks of the Qing Dynasty, and the more the population, the better!
Why do Tianzhu people burn widows?
It's nothing more than profit.

For example, if the deceased man was a member of the Tianzhu Kshatriya, it means that he has a certain amount of property that needs to be inherited by the people around him, and his wife must be among the inheritance ranks.

Moreover, it is a very clear fact that a dowry is required for marriage in Tianzhu. When a middle-class woman gets married, she will bring a large amount of dowry to the man to enhance her status in the husband's family.

This suggests that the legacy of the dead male, combined with the dowry of the living widow, would form a substantial fortune.

If the widow inherits her husband's estate alive, the husband's brothers and parents will naturally reduce the chances of wealth accumulation.

At the same time, if the widow remarries, she will naturally take away this part of the property and her own dowry, and the loss will not be a little bit. For a family, it can be called a huge loss.

So what is the solution to this problem?Sacrifice.

That's right, if a widow burns herself to death, the man's property plus the widow's dowry can basically become the wealth of other members of the family.

Even, when the widow performs the Sati ceremony, her natal family will be honored and even get a part of the dowry from it.

Just think about why Vidyavati was forced to be buried by her own mother. This is the reason.

Kangxi saw the underlying reason for burning the widow at a glance, but he felt that the young Sikh patriarch Gobind was also strange.

This guy doesn't look like a pariah or a sudra, but a Kshatriya. I don't know why he wants to abolish caste and promote equality?

Belonging to betrayed his own class. Originally, Singh could enjoy a life without worrying about food and clothing, but he risked his life and took all his wealth to seek happiness for the poor.

Kangxi didn't understand this, and what made Kangxi even more incomprehensible was why didn't the sluts of the Tianzhu religion join the Sikh religion together to overthrow the injustice that was oppressing them?
Moreover, many untouchables seem to be hostile to Sikhism, and they are somewhat ignorant.

I have to say that the national conditions of Tianzhu are so special that Kangxi couldn't figure it out for three days and three nights.

Fortunately, Kangxi was not a profuse sweater, he quickly put aside these strange national conditions of Tianzhu, and instead studied the matter of dividing Tianzhu with Daming.

"Nalan Xingde, there is a big deal now, will Daming do it?" Kangxi asked Tu Hai with a smile.

"What big deal?" Nalan Xingde had to ask clearly.

Kangxi laughed a few times, and then said softly: "Soon, I will march into Lahore in a big way. Fortunately, Tianzhu is big enough to accommodate the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty!"

"Nalan Xingde, I will tell you now. My heart is not so big now. I don't want to eat the whole Tianzhu, and I can't eat it. I just want to live in the northwest of Tianzhu, and control some Kazakhs in the north. If you go west and take advantage of the Persians, then you will be satisfied!"

Kangxi's words are not completely false, he is indeed not going to eat the whole of Tianzhu now...

On the one hand, it is because there are too many tigers and wolves who have taken a fancy to Tianzhu's big fat!
On the other hand, where does Kangxi know his roots?
The Junggar grassland, the Kazakh grassland, and the Afghan plateau next to Tianzhu are our roots.

Kangxi still didn't know that the Junggar Grassland had already been ruined by Sun Sike's green battalion soldiers.

But Kangxi knew that if these territories were lost, the Qing Dynasty would not be able to continuously obtain fresh blood in Central Asia!

"That's it..."

"Do you think it's okay to use Agra as the boundary?" Kangxi continued to ask Nalan Xingde in Mongolian.

"Khan, I am very happy that you have such an awareness, but, is the city of Agra from the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty?"

Nalan Xingde was very greedy and didn't want to give up an inch of land.

"That's simple. The city of Agra is divided into two, and a separation wall is built. The Ming Dynasty has half, and the Qing Dynasty has half. As for the southern part of Tianzhu, each depends on his ability."

Nalan Xingde approved of this plan.

If Zhu Kezang knew about it, he would be stunned, seeing the magical history again, isn’t this the post-war treatment of Germany!

It is not known how long the Agra Wall will survive in the future.

After Nalan Xingde left the South Study Room, Kathak recognized the lord more and more in his heart. He was able to cooperate with his former enemy, and he was very generous. He really took refuge in the right person.
