As the ship approached, everyone retreated. The saber cavalry organized by the Qin clan soon began to line up.

No matter what the intentions of these four ships are, the Han Department must leave them behind, and none of them can run away!

The people of the Qiao clan had shovels and hoes in their hands, and they hid them in rows behind the houses; The Qin clansmen and Tatar women rode on their war horses.

"Ham...... How long will it take to conquer these Tatars......."

André Conte asked his mercenary captain, a former mercenary captain from the Swiss region who had been hired in Savoy. He was terminated due to his defeat in the war with Milan.

Ham was a typical Swiss veteran who, without a telescope, had to stand on tiptoe and look into the distance. In fact, such a remark is rarely answered by a commander with experience in warfare, but Andre Conte was Ham's employer. He must do his best to respond to the employer's questions.

It was almost dusk, and Ham, who couldn't see the village clearly, saw only large swaths of abandoned houses and some desolate crowds.

"Probably....... Just give me two hours to get rid of them. Ham replied reluctantly.

The Greek peasants were as useless as ever. So they can only be used as foot force in the boat, rowing. When you go down to land, you can only use it as a farmer and coolie. The Sicilian riders were bad-tempered and behaved in a bad manner, full of the smell of the leopards of the countryside, and the Spanish musketeers were lazy and deceitful, and they were not very useful. Therefore, the Swiss Ham, who is known for his honest compliance with his contract, deserves to be the captain of Andre Conte.

Ham's reply to Andre Conte was not bad, and Andre thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back and get some rest." Once you reach land, lead your army to conquer these barbarians, and then form our camp. It's best to figure out what kind of place this is. ”

André Conte paid the Swiss mercenaries four florins a month, the Spanish musketeers five florins each, the Sicilian riders seven florins a month, and the Greek farmers were paid only three-quarters of the florins a month. Even so, Andre Conte still has to pay a high employment salary of 775 florin gold every month.

Now André Conte has a mercenary debt of 1,550 gold florins for two months.

And now Andrei Conti's cabin is home to more than 300 Rus' male and female slaves, as well as more than 200 Tatar male slaves. The former he bought near the Dnieper, while the latter was the one he had bought slaves from another tribe and sold the prisoners of war to him at a discount.

According to the current Black Sea price, the price of a slave ranges from 80 hpperon to 100 hpperon. For children, it's about half. The Rus were cheaper, while the Tatars were a little more expensive. 【Gold Coins of the Eastern Roman Empire】

So Andre Conte is now a man with more than 45,000 gold coins in Heperen. In fact, since Andrei Conti's slaves were bought from the Tatar tribe for about half the price, the more than 45,000 Happeren were also discounted. Coupled with the salaries of the mercenaries along the way, the purchase of various logistics materials, and the high rental price of four large ships, Andre Conte can probably earn more than 8,000 gold coins from Haiperen.

In the Middle Ages, the so-called gold Happeron coins, florinian gold coins, etc., can probably be regarded as a non-existent equivalent currency. Because after the Eastern Roman Empire lost control, there was a lot of money in the Mediterranean. For example, France once had 82 currencies at the same time, and each province had its own currency. Therefore, these famous currencies can be regarded as equivalents. That is, how much real money is converted into these currencies.

André Conti also has two olive oil mills in Genoa, a velvet mill, and four large estates in Corsica, two mills.

Despite this, Andre Conte's receipt this time is still a great success. This money can be said to have strengthened André Conte's idea of making a mark in the Black Sea slave trade.

Whether it was the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Mamluks of Egypt, or the chieftains of the vast Arab lands, they had a great demand for slaves. This huge market shook the hearts of every merchant from the Italian city-state.

The ships are already overwhelmed.

While the four large ships docked in front of Kaffa's excellent deep-water port, two ships simply stuck to the dock. If the repair is not accelerated, I am afraid that it will soon sink under the water of the port.

"Unload the stuff first! Sicilians, go search for those Tatars! Catch it back! Musketeers stand in place! Let the Greeks hurry up and move the cargo from the cabin! ”

Ham stood on the docks, skillfully directing the men.

However, due to the defeat in Odessa, Andrei Conti's mercenaries were not very satisfied. When André Conte was two months behind in the run, the mercenaries' anger reached a new level.

And on the ship, of course, the mercenaries did not dare to disobey André Conte, but when they got off the ship, it was not the case.

"Humph! Did he think he was Andre Conte? Commanded by the spirit. Don't we want our horses? ”

The Sicilian riders said angrily.

They used to ride their own horses, but when they arrived in the Ukrainian regions, they almost died, so they had to switch to Black Sea horses, that is, Crimean Tatars and Cossacks. Then Odessa was defeated, the booty was lost, and the horses were not saved.

Now there are thirty people, and only seventeen sick horses remain.

Such a small horse, let alone a slave robbery, I am afraid that it will not be killed by the Tatars and return to Sicily.

The Sicilian riders, who inherited the wild finesse of the Normans and the cruel and warlike of the Berbers, were not to be trifled with.

Compared to the unruly Sicilian riders, the Spanish masters are much easier to say. They were simply depressed after a long boat ride, but they were still happy to arrive in a new place, adventurous Spaniards.

Now they are pointing at the old villages around them with arquebuses.

The hapless Greek farmer quickly carried the goods from the ship.

Andre Conte didn't come to the Black Sea for fun. Every businessman has the gene of earning every penny of profit in his blood. In the Black Sea, he bought a large amount of grain, which is now high in Europe. There are also various specialties of the Cossack region, hides, gold, etc.

"Wait, what's the sound?"
