When Luján III ...... No, when Duke Ludovico occupied the city of Milan, the French army at the front was still in the dark. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAs Marin expected, the French army was waiting for a good grain harvest on the Lombard plains. The French could then mobilize rations from the Duchy of Milan. It's a pity that all this was ruined by Lu Hansan. It's just that, because of the backwardness of messaging, the French don't know about it for the time being.

At the same time, the 10 bronze heavy cannons that Marín had promised to Gonzalo were also sent to Naples. However, this bronze cannon is too expensive. A cannon weighs more than 1 ton, and 10 cannons are more than a dozen tons, and it will cost 1 ton of silver for the total price.

What is the concept of a ton of silver? That's 23,400 gold coins. Still, Gonzalo gritted his teeth and bought it. Although Marin had said that it could be borrowed, Gonzalo believed that the Spanish army still needed heavy artillery in the storm.

The 10 guns, all of which were 14-pounder caliber, were specially designed for the Spaniards by the East Friesian Cannon Foundry. After the design was completed, a blacksmith was arranged to create the corresponding iron mold. Then, just follow the procedure to cast the bronze liquid.

Iron mold casting cannons are very fast, a set of molds, can cast several bronze cannons a day. 10 bronze cannons, cast in two days.

As for the style of the artillery, Marin decided to adopt the French artillery style, adding cannon lugs, but Wangshan did not. Moreover, there was no advanced two-wheeled gun mount. After all, Marin was not happy to give the Spaniards the best. In Marin's mind, Spain was also his rival for the Americas.

However, even then, the performance of these guns was quite enough. Moreover, in the Spanish army there was no shortage of artillery who were good at aimed shooting. Because, in the Spanish army, it was also equipped with a lot of artillery, but it was all rear-mounted Fran cannons. However, the principle of aiming of artillery is still about the same. It is also possible to let those artillerymen control the Naxi heavy artillery.

After getting the artillery, Gonzalo had the artillerymen practice using the heavy cannon while the blacksmith worked out the production of iron ball shells. After all, once the war starts, the artillery will not stop bombarding the city gates, and the demand for iron ball shells is great.

……

At this time, in the port of Kafa in the Crimean Khanate, 20 boats of Mao Mei had already been loaded. Standing at the bow of the ship, Alter waved goodbye to the equally enthusiastic bandits of the Crimean Khanate......

It is said that after Alter was detained in the Dardanelles Strait on the west side of the Turkish Strait, the customs clearance documents he carried were sent to Istanbul.

After comparing the letters of the Crimean Khanate, the Turkish Sultan Bayezid II found that it was indeed written by his ally Möngogre Khan.

Bayezid II was very tolerant of the Crimean Khanate because of the need to suppress the Rus' in the steppes of Eastern Europe with the help of the troops of the Crimean Khanate. He himself is also a very inclusive sultan.

For example, when the two kings of Spain expelled the Jews, it was Bayezid II who sent ships to the area of Spain to receive the Jews.

As a discerning monarch, Bayezid II naturally did not offend the Crimean thug. As a result, Bayezid II not only agreed to the passage of the fleet, but also signed an official customs clearance document on behalf of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. In this way, the fleet will later pass through the Turkish straits, and there will be no need to come up with the customs clearance documents of the Crimean Khan.

However, Bayezid II was not a fool either. Although a new customs clearance document was signed, it also stipulated that the size of the fleet should not exceed 20 vessels. Moreover, it was necessary to pass through the Istanbul Strait, the easternmost section of the Turkish Strait, accompanied by Turkish warships. Moreover, when the fleet passes, it must sail close to the Asian side and not close to the Istanbul side.

This regulation is also to prevent someone from sneaking up on Istanbul, the capital of Turkey. After all, the city of Istanbul is right by the sea on the European side of the Istanbul Strait.

While passing through the strait, Bayezid II also enthusiastically sent a navigator to guide the fleet to the port of Kaffa on the Crimean peninsula. At the same time, Bayezid II also asked the navigator to bring a letter of condolence that he had written to Möngkejire Khan.

When the fleet arrived in the port of Kaffa (Feodosia), it was warmly welcomed by the bearded men of the Crimean Khanate. Although these Tatar bearded men were robbers and bandits, they were polite when dealing with customers who were willing to help sell stolen goods.

After all, these Crimean robbers may not be able to use what they have robbed. It would be a pity if those goods and slaves that were not needed were smashed into their own hands. Therefore, the Crimeans need a channel to sell the stolen goods, to dispose of the looted people and stolen goods that are not needed. Thus, the port of Kaffa was born......

This attack on the Ryazan principality was so great that the Crimean Khanate was a little unbearable. Not to mention the piles of property, the population alone looted as many as 40,000 people from the Crimean Khanate.

Among them, there are 20,000 young Mao Mei......

About half of the other 20,000 are boys and girls, and the remaining 10,000 are young men......

In the slave market, however, the best sellers were young women and boys. Needless to say, young women, those Arabs, and men have several women. However, there are not so many women in Arabia alone. So, buying from here in the Crimean Khanate became an important source of women.

And boys are also very popular, because, boys under the age of 10 are brought back to be trained for a few years, brainwashed and practiced martial arts every day, and after ten years, these boys will be trained into elite warriors. That's how the famous Sultan's personal soldiers came.

Moreover, it was not only the Sultan who had the habit of cultivating pro-soldiers, but also those Turkish Pasha (equivalent to provincial governors) who also had the habit of cultivating some of these pro-guards. Therefore, in the slave trade of the Crimean Khanate, women and boys were the main force and sold the best.

The rest, girls are second. This is so because it will take a few years for girls to grow up. Those buyers, where do they have the heart to wait for the girl to grow up? It's better to buy a ready-made young woman and bring it back to vent that desire...... Of course, there are also perverts who like girls, and they buy girls back or something......

The least popular is the male slaves, including which teenagers. Most of the Crimean Khanate's clients were from the Arab region, where it was most taboo for fertile men to invade their homes. So, in the Arab region, male slaves are not very popular.

Of course, there are exceptions. That is, Arabs like to castrate male slaves before they are safe to put them in their homes......

Historically, since the rise of the Arab Empire, the slave trade began. However, the Arabs were ruthless, caught a black male slave, and castrated them directly. In this way, these male black slaves have no possibility of cuckolding Arab men.

Moreover, African men have a detached personality, but after castration, their personalities have become tame and honest. After all, if you don't secrete too many hormones in your body, what can you do if you are not honest?

During the Tang Dynasty, Arab merchants once sold black slaves to China, called "Kunlun slaves". These "Kunlun slaves" are actually basically black men who have been castrated. Because they were castrated, these black slaves were honest and obedient, and they had no desires, which were very popular with the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty was open, and women were also bold. If these strong "Kunlun slaves" had not been castrated, many of the Tang Dynasty's unrestrained women might have left black cubs. However, apparently there is no such record in history, the reason is that those Kunlun slaves are basically castrated, and they are safe to put in the back house......

……

Alter brought 20 galleys, all over 200 tons. However, each ship can carry up to 120 women. Then, the entire fleet bought 2,400 Mao Mei at a time.

The Crimeans were clearly not very happy about this. You know, there were 40,000 people in their slave camps. 2,400 people per trip, how many trips do you have to transport? And the 40,000 slaves who are there consume a lot of food every day......

In this regard, Arte has no choice but to do so first......

As if to sell hard-to-sell male slaves, officials of the Crimean Khanate said to Alter:

"Mr. Alter, do you want to buy some young and strong male slaves to go back? Very good and cheap......"

Alter looked at the hairy men with chest hair, and was very unhappy:

"Haji, I have a woman on board. These women were all shipped back to be wives. You said that I took these big men with chest hair, what if these grandsons slept with those girls on the boat? Let the brothers of our country be the pick-up heroes? After following Marin for a long time, Alter also learned the word "pick-up man"......

"Hey, Lord Alter, you don't have to worry about that. Lo and behold! After that, the Crimean official named Haji brought in several veterinarians......

"What are you doing here?" Alter was a little confused.

"Lord Art, aren't you worried that these Rose men will sleep with the women on the ship? We've got you covered! ”

"How do you solve it?" Alter was a little confused.

"Of course it's castrated! These brothers I invited are all good at castrating horses, cattle and sheep, and are famous veterinarians, so don't worry! Moreover, these Ross male slaves should be regarded as a meeting gift from us! ”

As he spoke, there was a burst of screams......

"Well, well, Lord Art, these men are no longer capable of harming the girls on board. However, I had to take a few months off before I could work. Haji said lightly, as if he had done a trivial matter.

"Ah...... Uh......" Alter was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Looking at the few big men with Ross chest hair who were still bleeding below, he asked Haji:

"Haji, don't you treat their wounds? Just dealt with it casually? "Alter has learned first aid from Marin, so he naturally knows that the treatment of wounds needs to be disinfected. Even, the fleet usually prepared a lot of alcohol and gauze to prevent the sailors from being injured.

"Huh? This one...... We don't understand, our veterinarians have always been so rude, is there anything special about this? ”

Alter looked at the few big men with Rose chest hair who were still howling miserably, and he couldn't bear it. So, he returned to the cabin, retrieved medical alcohol and gauze, and asked the doctor on the ship to help the miserable men with chest hair treat the wounds below.

Looking at the movements of the doctor accompanying the ship, Haji was a little strange:

"Lord Art, what are your men doing?"

"Disinfection, if not sterilized, there is a high probability that these people will die. And if the poison is eliminated, they have a ninety percent chance of surviving! ”

"What? Ninety percent? Haji jumped to his feet. For the Crimean Khanate, this was an absolutely earth-shattering event.

Why? The Crimean Khanate captured men from the Rus' countries as slaves, and they must have been castrated before they could be sold. However, in this era, because there were no disinfection measures, and the Crimean Khanate was castrated with the help of barbaric veterinarians. This also leads to the fact that the castrated Ross male slaves have only a little more than half of the chance of surviving. After all, people are not as durable as animals......

In other words, after the castration of the tens of thousands of male slaves captured from Ryazan this time, only five or six thousand people will survive.

If Art's method can make 90% of the castrated male slaves survive, it will bring huge benefits to the Crimean Khanate. Because, the castrated hairy male slaves are also quite marketable. One more person to survive is a few more gold coins......

In this way, after learning the disinfection methods with Alter's ship's doctor, Haji let Alter's fleet leave......

Twenty galleys loaded with 2,400 beautiful hairy girls hand-picked by Alter sailed all the way west, in the direction of the Strait of Gibraltar......
