Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Within the Holy Roman Empire.

    A group of wolf-like soldiers quickly rushed into a village, and immediately the whole village began to roar. Countless cries and curses came and went, and from time to time there were screams.

    But the whole process did not last too long. In less than 10 minutes, hundreds of men, women, and children in the village were all tied up with ropes and escorted out in a queue.

    "Kill them all, the old ones!"

    The leading officer looked at the goods in front of him carefully and issued the order expressionlessly.

    The elderly and the older ones are worthless to the people of Ming Dynasty. They can't even be sold for a tael of silver, and they have to pay for food, so it's better to kill them directly from the beginning. Anyway, now is a period of war, and all kinds of  All kinds of bandits, robbers, refugees, and defeated armies are nothing. The death of some people is nothing at all, it's nothing.

    "yes!"

    When the soldiers under his command heard this, they immediately went to deal with these matters. They separated the old people and the elderly people together, and then fired a volley of arrows, killing dozens of old people in the blink of an eye.

    "grandparents!"

    "Dad, Mom!"

    Seeing such a scene, the remaining young people and children couldn't help shouting and crying bitterly.

    ¡°What they were greeted with was a whip, which made their skin and flesh raw and painful.

    Soon the remaining young adults, women and children were escorted to the four-wheeled carriage that held the door open to imprison people. With the creaking sound of the four-wheeled carriage, they gradually left their hometown. I don't know what their future fate will be.  .

    In a marching camp, tens of thousands of soldiers are constantly training. At the same time, you can see teams coming back from all directions, each team escorting a large number of slaves.

    These slaves are now also called piglets, and the piglets sold to the Ming Dynasty are also very valuable piglets.

    A piglet sold to the people of Ming Dynasty can be sold for almost 20 taels of silver. Women are more valuable and can be sold for 30 taels of silver. Children are not valuable, but they can also be sold for a few taels of silver.

    Compared to the hard work of doing business, farming, taxing, etc., there is nothing faster than catching people and selling them to make money. Especially in this war-torn era, making money from this business is really fast.  .

    Earl Lawrence is well aware of this. In less than a year, Earl Lawrence's strength has rapidly expanded by capturing slaves and selling people.

    In a very short period of time, an army of 100,000 people has been armed. Among these 100,000 people, 50,000 are new riflemen armed with Ming Dynasty weapons and weapons. After training, with the excellent performance of the new rifles,  Performance, powerful combat effectiveness.

    In addition, Earl Lawrence also armed himself with a cavalry of 20,000 people and an infantry of 30,000 old-fashioned muskets.

    With such a powerful army, Earl Lawrence immediately became one of the most powerful people among the many states of the Holy Roman Empire. Even though his own territory had been occupied by the Spanish, it still did not prevent him from doing whatever he wanted in other people's territories.  .

    "Your Majesty, Duke Aleman has just sent us another warning and rule, asking us to leave his principality immediately."

    In Earl Lawrence¡¯s marching camp, Ged, an official under Earl Lawrence, smiled and talked to Earl Lawrence about being driven away.

    The current Earl Lawrence is just a magpie's nest. He stays in the territory of Duke Aleman. He neither goes to the front line to fight with the Spanish nor leaves the territory. He just arrests people in Duke Aleman's territory.  Slaves, constantly training troops, brought the entire principality into a state of chaos, making it difficult for the people to live.

    Duke Aleman has no way to deal with Earl Lawrence, because now Earl Lawrence has a powerful army of 100,000 in his hands, and he can destroy Duke Aleman anytime and anywhere.

    "Haha, this is the seventh warning issued this month, right?"

    When Earl Lawrence heard this, he immediately laughed.

    He is not afraid of anything now. In the past, he, a count, could not say anything in front of these dukes. Now, the dukes of the Holy Roman Empire are begging him to send troops to the front line quickly.

    Even though everyone now knows that they are doing something wrong here, they can't do anything about it and can only let themselves be free.

    Now Earl Lawrence has tasted the benefits and taste of having an army in his hands in troubled times. This taste is awesome.

    ¡¾To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud.Europeans just don't care about hygiene. Even the nobles smell terrible and don't take a few baths in their lives. This is especially true for ordinary people.

    Nowadays, tens of thousands of slaves are imprisoned in small camps, and there are all kinds of unpleasant and pungent smells, which are similar to pig pens. This is also the origin of piglets.

    "According to your request, all the piggies have shaved their beards and hair, including the women."

    ¡°The price is still the same as before, right?¡±

    Earl Lawrence said with a smile.

    "Of course, the price will still be based on the previous price. This is what we agreed on."

    Wang Xiyang nodded.

    Although the price of slaves has dropped, there is no way because there are many nobles selling slaves in Europe, and Earl Lawrence is just one of them.

    Everyone is trying to find ways to make money to buy arms and weapons to increase their strength, but if you want arms and weapons, you must have money. There are not many goods that can be sold to the people of Ming Dynasty. Among them, these piglets are the fastest to make money.

    Men will be sent to Africa to mine and farm land during the Golden Week, while women will be sent to be servants and maids to the Ming Dynasty. If they are lucky, they can even be concubines to the Ming Dynasty people.

    The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and a large population, and the market demand is very strong. This has always been the European team¡¯s main export product.
