Not long after seeing off the two galleys that opened the Egyptian trade route, Emden Port welcomed a merchant ship returning from Venice. This new 250-class merchant ship No. 2507 is the seventh of the 250-class merchant ship. Today, with the help of the high-pressure steam bending ship rib technology of Emden Shipyard, Texel Island has built several 250-class merchant ships, making the number of 250-class merchant ships under Marin's name reach as many as 10. This 2507 was assigned to Romeni, the person in charge of the glass workshop, to import natural soda and soft manganese ore from Venice.
Of course, because the new galleys have begun to run Egyptian routes, Romeni may not need to go to Venice to buy natural soda. After all, it is definitely much cheaper to buy directly from Egypt, the origin of natural soda. However, manganese ore mainly produced in Hungary and Romania has to continue to be imported from Venice.
However, when the merchant ship No. 2507 returned, the cargo was loaded very, very special. Because... he was loading a living "cargo" - a person... and a young and beautiful woman...
Previously, Marin learned that Venetian merchants traveling between Venice and the port of Kafa (now Feodocia) of the Crimean Khanate, sold a very special commodity to the captain Art, who was responsible for purchasing in Venice - Eastern European and American women stolen by the Crimean Khanate...
The Crimean Khanate is one of the branches of the Golden Horde, one of the four major Khanates in Mongolia. It belongs to the Tatars descended from Mongolia and is also a nation on horseback. People from this nation are proficient in riding and shooting, and like the Mongolians, the whole nation is full of soldiers. They rode a mixed-blood horse breed of Mongolian horses and Eastern European horses (the Dun Hippo in later generations is the representative of them), crisscrossing the Eastern European grasslands, coming and going like the wind.
In fact, the Central Plains of China have experienced this kind of suffering for thousands of years. In order to deal with this nation on the horse's back, China built the Great Wall, but it was still difficult to stop these grassland cavalry from breaking into the pass from some weak points to rob property and population.
The Eastern Europeans were even more miserable. They did not have the protection of the Great Wall or the protection of a powerful unified dynasty. It was not until the Russian Empire rose up under the leadership of Peter the Great that they had the strength and took a long time to eliminate the great disaster of the Crimean Khanate.
But today, Eastern Europeans, whether Russians, Poles, Lithuanians, or even Romanians, are shivering under the iron hooves of the Crimean Khanate. Although Europeans can withstand the siege of the Crimean cavalry through stone fortresses that are stronger than the eastern walls, the countryside outside the city is a paradise for the Crimean cavalry. These Crimean Tatar cavalry rampant in the grasslands and villages of Eastern Europe, plundering the property of the Eastern Europeans, and even plundering people as slaves.
Every year, there are as many as thousands of Eastern European slaves exported from the port of Kafa on the Crimean Peninsula. Moreover, most of them are women and children. As for men, many of them are directly killed during the plunder... and even the surviving men are extremely tragic. Many men are castrated and sold to the Arab region as slaves. Because Arab men will never allow other male animals to approach their women. Even if they need servants, they must be castrated.
Just like the Arabs sold black slaves in Africa, they also castrated men. Therefore, although many black slaves had been sold in the Arab region, you basically couldn't see any descendants of black people in the Arabian Peninsula. Because those black people were castrated before they were sold, where could they leave their descendants? Therefore, there is no problem of black uncle causing trouble in the Arabian region...
There are also men from Eastern Europe. The Crimean Khanate is also a green country and is used to being close to the Arabs. Many male slaves were castrated and sold as slaves. For example, on Venetian galleys, there were many Russian strong (castrated) paddle slaves purchased from the Crimean Khanate...
Of course, not every male slave in Eastern Europe will be castrated. Only some men who need to serve in the back houses or palaces of Arab powerful people will be castrated. Those male slaves who bought them as coolies will decide whether to castrate them depending on the buyer's needs...
It is precisely because of these historical sufferings that the Russians hated the Crimean Tatars (the ones who later became independent in Crimea were actually mainly Russians). During the Stalin period, all the Crimean Tatars were expelled from the Crimea region to the Central Asian desert area.

Previously, Kohler suggested that Marin buy Eastern European female slaves from Venetian merchants to be wives for his brothers in the army. After thinking, Marin agreed with Kohler's suggestion. You should know that the mercenaries who had been with Marin were all crazy and had no chance of having a wife. However, the old subordinates who had been with Marin for the longest had been assigned some land because of their savings and had married their wives. However, most of the new recruits still had no wives. Moreover, there were not enough young women in the small East Frieslander country for these soldiers to marry.
Therefore, it is necessary to buy Eastern European female slaves from the Crimeans to fill the dilemma of insufficient women in the East Friesland.
However, Marin did not directly order the large-scale purchase of Eastern European female slaves, but placed a small order of 200 people first. He also wanted to see how "quality" the Eastern European female slaves that the Venetian merchant resold were "really". If it is good, continue to buy in large quantities.
So, according to Marin's instructions, Kohler placed an order to buy 200 young women under the age of 30 (not relatives). Of course, these women were not intended to be wives for soldiers, but to be camp prostitutes.
Marin had tens of thousands of troops under his command, most of whom were bachelors. These young people were very energetic, even more surplus. Of course, they had to have a channel to vent. If there was too little women, Marin could not imagine whether the army would develop gay men. Therefore, Marin specially prepared some camp prostitutes. The source was mainly the female relatives of the former East Friesian nobles who were killed before.
However, the number is too small, with less than 100 people. There are thousands of bachelors in the army, and they have to wait for a long time...
So Marin simply placed an order and added a group of Eastern European female slaves to supplement the camp prostitutes to meet the needs of his soldiers. Of course, camp prostitutes are not free. They charge 2 Finneys at a time, which is relatively cheap, but not free. The main reason is that they are afraid that they will revolve around the camp prostitutes every day. It takes a fee, so these soldiers will restrain themselves... Speaking of which, 2 Finneys is only equivalent to two-thirds of a soldier's daily salary... Thinking that his daily salary in his previous life was far from enough to make a big sword, Marin suddenly felt that he really loved soldiers like his son...
In fact, Marin himself was also very interested in these "mao girls" from Eastern Europe. So he drove his horse to Port Emden to watch these Eastern European female slaves...
As a result, Marin did not disappoint. These beautiful women who asked for 12 gold coins each looked good. They wanted to be pretty, have a good breast, have a PP...
Eastern Europe is indeed a place where beauties are abundant. The quality of beauties is so high, and it is so cheap...
It is no wonder that the Crimean Khanate is a poor country. The main source of income in its country is actually the trafficking of Eastern European slaves, which is a standard human trafficker country.
A living beauty actually asked for a few gold coins (the beautiful woman in the port of Kafa, Crimea, only 6 gold coins. The original beautiful girl only costs 15 gold coins). Marin also remembers that in history, around 1512, the Crimean Khanate suddenly attacked the Grand Duchy of Moscow, because Sigmund I, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, spent 15,000 gold coins to buy Mongogirekhan of Crimea, and asked her to take advantage of the war between the Grand Duchy of Moscow and raid the rear of the Grand Duchy of Moscow during the war between the front and Lithuania. From then on, the Crimean Khanate officially formed enemies with Russia...
Marin couldn't help but sigh. The Crimean Khan was willing to send troops to attack a country with just 15,000 gold coins. It can be seen how poor the Crimeans are. If they take out 200,000 gold coins themselves, they will bite whoever they don't...
Marin walked around the military service office and returned to Orich. He did not stop and "enjoy" these Eastern European and American women. After all, although these beautiful women are beautiful, they have been "engaging in the service industry" for a long time. He is a count of the country and "popular" women like this, and they lose their identity. Even if they want, they must be an original Eastern European beautiful girl...
Of course, Marin was reserved, and the soldiers were so excited. After 200 beautiful girls got off the boat, the military camp "service office" lined up that night. The young men who had no energy chose to find these Eastern European and American women to vent...
