Chapter 185 The White Slave Trade in the Ming Dynasty
Latest website:
Wang Baobao gave himself more than a dozen official positions, including Prime Minister, Taiwei, Shangshu Ling, and Zhongshu Ling.
After doing this, Wang Baobao took all the military and political power of the reintegrated Mongolian and Yuan dynasties into his own hands.
The tribes of Oara in Mongolia in the desert did not have many opinions on Wang Baobao coming to power.
Anyway, even though he was the leader, he led them to plunder everywhere.
After Wang Baobao came to power, as long as he could lead them to continue to steal wealth, they could fully support him.
Since Wang Baobao has re-consolidated the Great Yuan Empire and the Great Mongol Kingdom, he naturally needs a series of popular military measures to benefit various tribes. Otherwise, the Mongolian tribes, a gang mainly engaged in robbery, will be trapped in a remote and remote area of Mobei.
It won't be long before they break up completely.
"Grand Master, why don't we have strong troops and horses now, or go south to rob the Han people?"
"Grand Master, there are thousands of Han people stationed in Mobei now, and they have won over many traitors. We should attack Mobei first, drive away those Han people, and take back Genghis Khan's treasured land."
"If you ask me, Hala and Lin are the closest to Shanxi. Let's go directly south across the Gobi. We will kill those bastards of the Wanggu tribe first, and then go to Shanxi to plunder them."
The remnant forces of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty joined forces with Wala, giving everyone a feeling of strong military strength.
Suddenly, many people were clamoring, wanting to teach the Ming army a lesson and take back the land and wealth belonging to the Mongols.
But at this time, Wang Baobao, after hearing about the Ming Dynasty's Mobei Protectorate, was no longer willing to continue to be an enemy of the Ming army.
The Ming army was able to use the endless resources in its hands to divide and disintegrate all the Mongolian tribes.
Wang Baobao is not only at a disadvantage militarily, but now he cannot even win over people's hearts.
In any case, when he thought about fighting the Ming army, Wang Baobao felt that he had no chance of winning.
Therefore, Wang Baobao rejected all three strategies against the Ming army.
"There are no wealthy places in Haraholin and Moxi, and there are no good weapons and armor. How can we fight against the strong Ming army?" Wang Baobao said loudly.
Both the leaders of the Oara tribes and the Meng Yuan generals knew that what Wang Baobao said was not wrong at all.
Genghis Khan was able to dominate the world not only because of his innate military ability, but also because Mongolia at that time had eaten some of the heritage left by the Khitan people and accumulated a large amount of military power from trade in the Western Regions and the Xixia area.
Equipment, allowing the Mongols to exact revenge on the Jurchens.
Now that the grasslands have maintained a rough peace for a hundred years, the armament levels among various ministries have declined seriously.
Especially when compared with the strong rise of the Ming army, probably none of the Mongolian tribes can compare with the most ordinary soldiers of the Ming army.
If Great Mongolia wants to rise again, what it needs is food, population and iron tools.
These three necessities must be extremely scarce on the Mongolian grasslands.
Even if the Ming army is driven out of the Mobei grassland, it will only add tens of thousands of Mongolian warriors, which will not be of much help in improving combat effectiveness in terms of iron tools and food.
"Master, where do you want us to attack?" asked a young Wala general.
This young Vala general's name is Hao Hai. He was originally a general under Tuoli Buhua and the leader of the Choros tribe.
"Food, iron and population are all available in the Ming army's territory, but now the Ming army is too powerful and cannot be easily dealt with by us, so we must change the direction."
As Wang Baobao spoke, he ordered the guards behind him to carry out a huge map.
This map was placed on a screen, depicting the Mongolian steppes, Shaanxi, Gansu and the Western Regions.
"Now the Chagatai Khanate has betrayed Great Mongolia and colluded with the Ming army. We must eradicate the Chagatai Khanate and let the population, food and iron tools there be used by us. After we have these things, we can
Head east to attack Lanzhou, and then march into Guanzhong."
Poor Tuluhe Timur, the Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, had actually been attacked twice by Oara.
But it has to be said that the Oara Mongols are really very rough and backward.
Apart from plundering some food and people on the territory of the Chagatai Khanate, they did not have much interest in capturing cities, and they had no relevant experience.
But now that the Oara people have the leadership of Wang Baobao, they have become completely different.
Wang Bao kept the fire and kept his secrets, taking control of all the Oara tribes, and soon prepared to attack the rich and weak Eastern Chagatai Khanate again.
However, in order to prevent the Ming army from raiding their rear, Wang Baobao voluntarily abandoned Hara and Lin and led the small court of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty to move towards the desert Mongolia.
Mongolia in the desert is relatively far away from the area controlled by the Ming army. When Wang Baobao leads his army to attack the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, there is no need to worry about the rear.
"First secure the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, then recover the Western Chagatai Khanate, and then send people to contact the Tubo Xuanzangyuan to counterattack the Ming thieves together!"
Wang Baobao told the eager generals and Wala leaders his grand plan!
The capital, Yingtian Mansion.
The Royal Palace of England.
Although I haven't been back for several months, everything in the Prince's Palace is still in good order, and even the back garden has been expanded and built with many pavilions and pavilions.
All of this was built under the orders of my elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, who practiced hard work and thrift in the palace, he could be hard on himself, and he could be hard on the civil and military officials, but he could not be hard on his own brother!
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his brother was the number one hero of the Ming Dynasty, and it was only natural that he should enjoy it.
Therefore, not only the Prince's Palace in Peiping was built to the highest standards, but also the Prince's Palace in Yingtianfu was continuously renovated and expanded in size.
"I have to say that the gardens built by Jiangnan craftsmen are quite pleasing to the eye!"
Zhu Han was lying leisurely in the garden, with his concubines Liu and Zhou waiting on him.
Behind the two of them, there are several beautiful women, all of whom are serving them with low eyebrows. They are all Zhu Han's concubines. After all, it is their duty to be well-educated and well-educated women who were personally selected by their sister-in-law, Queen Ma.
.
Zhu Han did not feel too comfortable in Yingtian Mansion. Not only did he have these royal concubines, but he also had two stunning Slavic female slave concubines with blond hair and blue eyes.
"Natalie!"
"Sofia!"
Zhu Han summoned the two Slavic female slaves over.
I saw two blond and blue-eyed Slavic female slaves twisting their waists and kneeling gently in front of Zhu Han.
"Master, please give me your orders!"
Natalie and Sofia answered in unison.
Since these two Slavic female slaves came to Prince Zhu Han's palace, they received personal tutoring from Zhu Han for a long time in evening self-study, so their Chinese proficiency has soared.
Nowadays, it is almost difficult to tell that the two of them are Slavs just from their accents.
"You two go change your clothes and follow me to meet a group of your fellow villagers!" Zhu Han said jokingly.
The Persian merchant Maru Ali trafficked another group of Slavic slaves.
In line with the principle that the customer is God, all the white slaves sent by Maru Ali to the Ming Dynasty were women, because the Ming Dynasty had no special preference for those strange-looking white men, even the lowest coolies and handy eunuchs.
, no one would like to use these white men with body odor.
Although today's Ming Dynasty has just experienced the rule of the Mongols not long ago, all the people are still very upright.
Unlike some people in later generations who had the habit of licking the white skin crazily.
Even among the citizens of the Ming Dynasty, they only thought that the Slavic female slaves looked strange and exotic, but did not think that they were naturally more charming and beautiful than Chinese women.
As for those white men, they are even lower class than the semen from the Western Regions.
Coupled with Zhu Han's deliberate guidance, the entire Ming Dynasty naturally had little interest in white male slaves.
"Obey my master."
Natalie and Sofia, these two Slavic women, are the most perfect female slaves.
The two of them not only gave birth to a boy and a girl for Zhu Han, but also performed well in helping to tame other Slavic female slaves. They could even be said to be ruthless. Whips, canes and shackles were all powerful tools in their hands to tame their former compatriots.
means.
However, these two Slavic female slaves were as obedient as cats in front of Zhu Han.
The reason for this is not only that Zhu Han personally trained them day and night every day, but also because these two Slavic female slaves have been completely conquered mentally by the culture of the Ming Dynasty.
In this era, the Great Plains of Eastern Europe was still the sphere of influence of the Golden Horde established by the Mongols.
For the Slavs in various states, the Mongols in the East are the nightmare of all Slavs.
After Natalie and Sophia came to the Ming Dynasty, they found that the Mongols, who were once regarded as invincible by all Slavs, were already defeated by the Ming Dynasty.
The powerful Ming Dynasty not only crushed the Mongols militarily, but also the prosperous commerce, economy and culture in Tianfu shocked the two foreign girls from the Eastern European countryside, Natalie and Sophia, to the point of shattering their outlook.
Both mentally and physically, these two Slavic female slaves completely surrendered to Zhu Han and the Ming Dynasty behind them.
So the Persian businessman Maru Ali transported a new batch of Slavic female slaves. Zhu Han left the subsequent taming work to these two women, which was an excellent choice to get twice the result with half the effort.
Natalie and Sophia changed into exquisite Ming Dynasty ladies' regular clothes and followed Zhu Han to the dock outside Yingtian Mansion.
Maru Ali has sold three waves of female slaves to Zhu Han, making a lot of money.
The family business, which had been gradually declining, was suddenly lifted to an unprecedented level.
In Maru Ali's mind, Zhu Han is simply the God of Wealth, an existence that even Allah cannot compare to.
So as soon as he saw Zhu Han and his party arriving at the pier, Malu Ali, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately knelt down on the ground from a distance and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, Maru Ali, pays homage to the King of England. His Highness may live a thousand years, a thousand years!"
After transporting a group of high-quality Slavic female slaves to the Ming Dynasty for the third time, Zhu Han awarded Maru Ali an official position promoted by Nanyang Ship Division.
Tiji is a commercial official in the Municipal Shipping Department, who mainly handles the daily affairs of the Municipal Shipping Department.
Once the word Yuanwai is added, it means that the honorary title belongs to the super staff and can only enjoy the treatment of Ming officials, but cannot handle specific affairs.
Although he was a minor official from the seventh rank, for a Persian like Maru Ali, the treatment was unimaginable.
Officials of all sizes in the Ming Dynasty did not know much about these Semu people in the Western Regions. They had no way to distinguish between Persians, Khivas, Tianfang people, etc. Anyway, no matter where the Semu merchants were, they would be affected.
Discrimination by Ming officials.
And Malu Ali had the official status granted by Zhu Han, which can be said to be very convenient for traveling and doing business in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, many merchants in the Western Regions gradually began to follow Malu Ali's example and began to think about trafficking high-quality women like the Ming Dynasty.
slave.
"Maru Ali, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your Mandarin skills have improved a lot." Zhu Han walked forward slowly and said with a smile.
Maru Ali knelt on the ground, quickly crawled forward twice, and kissed the floor tiles in front of Zhu Han's shoes with his bearded mouth.
For these Persians, this is the respectful attitude that those of low status must show to those of high status.
But for the officials and people of the Ming Dynasty, they felt that this was a bit too much.
Because this guy Malu Ali was really licking, the floor tiles in front of Zhu Han's feet were all covered with saliva marks from his kisses.
"The Ming Dynasty is the most civilized and noble existence in the world. If I can't speak well to the officials, how can I live up to His Highness's trust in me!"
The Slavic female slaves in Maru Ali's hands were purchased through Armenian merchants, and each one cost ten to thirty gold coins. After being transported to the Ming Dynasty, the value of each female slave would increase nearly ten times.
Because the trend of raising Slavic white female slaves led by Zhu Han has become popular in Yingtian Mansion.
Many princes, nobles and wealthy businessmen are increasingly attracted to these blond and blue-eyed Slavic female slaves.
Naturally, the supply of these Slavic female slaves in Maru Ali's hands exceeds demand, and the price has been rising steadily.
After Malu Ali sold these female slaves, he used the gold coins in his hands to buy porcelain, medicinal materials, tea and rock sugar, which were specialties of the Ming Dynasty. He then transported them back to Persia or the Delhi Sultanate and sold them to places such as the Delhi Sultanate, where he could earn several times the profit.
Therefore, every time Malu Ali traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he would earn nearly a hundred times the profit. Even if he had to spend a lot of money every time to attack the Persian warlords and the lords of various places on the sea, Malu Ali would still make a lot of money.
The bowl is full.
After making money, Malu Ali's loyalty to Ming Dynasty can be said to be growing day by day.
Even in the dead of night, Maru Ali always thinks in his heart that if he has another life, he will definitely be reincarnated in the Ming Dynasty, even if he is a small businessman in the Ming Dynasty.
Although the pagan talk of rebirth or reincarnation in the next life made Maru Ali feel that he had sinned against God.
However, it was really his true thoughts in his heart.
Therefore, for Maru Ali, practicing the Ming Dynasty's Mandarin well is the most correct thing to do.
Zhu Han greatly appreciated Malu Ali's admiration for the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of his heart.
After Zhu Han encouraged him a few words casually, he began to inquire about the "goods" delivered this time.
