Port of Dar es Salaam.

Slave trading market.

Although the Sultanate of Zanzibar was packed and sent to Zanzibar, it was impossible for the colonies to send slaves to the island to trade.

So the slave market in the port of Dar es Salaam was preserved, which was jointly run by the East African colonies and the Sultanate of Zanzibar.

"Sir, look at these goods, they are absolutely upright, they are all carefully selected from the Ottoman Empire, and they are all good at pulling back the land or taking care of the housework." Azam tried his best to sell the goods in front of him.

Poor Armenian women, like cattle and sheep, were lined up by Azam for inspection by officials in the East African colonies.

Azam boasted about the "goods" in front of him: "They used to live in the mountains of western Ottoman Empire, where the environment was far worse than in East Africa, where the roads were difficult to walk, and the land was barren and lacked water. So buy them back, they will definitely suffer and will not cause you trouble. ”

The East African colonial official, Mark Verian, held a wooden strip in his hand, looked left and right, and from time to time used the wooden strip to provoke the faces of these "goods" and check on their health.

After the ocean trek, most of the mental state is not very good, but it is still healthy. Marc Villian was pleased with the condition of the "goods" in front of him.

"Mr. Azamu, I've seen it, it's all good, if there are no major problems with our people after examining them later, this batch of goods will be all wanted."

Azamu hurriedly stepped forward and said with a flattering smile: "Sir, since you see that this batch of goods is not bad, and the quantity we provide this time is good, can you give a higher price?" ”

Mark Verian said solemnly: "The price was agreed before, one Armenian for seven savages, no matter how high it is, it will violate the original agreement!" ”

Azamu hurriedly said: "Sir, you also know that the distance from the Ottoman to East Africa is not short, and those of us who run the boat will not be able to avoid losses. ”

Mark Verian nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Azam's statement, Mark Verian was not a professional businessman in the first place, and he really lacked talent in this area.

He turned his head and discussed with his deputy, and after receiving confirmation, he said to Azamu: "Mr. Azamu, we understand your difficulties, but the East African colonies are not what I say by a small affairs officer, but for the sake of our friendship, I still provide you with ten more savages within my own authority, and I will have no choice if I have more!" ”

Azamu said with a look of regret: "This is really embarrassing for me! Mr. ”

After that, Azamu's tone changed: "But for your sake, I still did this 'loss-making' deal to ensure our friendship." ”

Azamu said that he was "losing money" in his mouth, but he was happy in his heart, and this time he went to Osman to pick up the goods, but he actually didn't pay any cost.

The attitude of the Ottomans towards the Armenians as pagans can be described as disgusting, and Armenia is different from the Balkan people who have always been independent and independent.

In line with the purpose of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, the bureaucrats in the Ottoman Empire, after learning that the Zanzibar merchants had bought Armenian women, directly agreed, and even the Armenian men, they wanted to pack up and send them away.

It's a pity that the East African colonies are currently most lacking in women, otherwise Ernst might really be tempted.

The grass-roots officials in the Ottoman Empire gave full play to their subjective initiative, and carried out a demolition operation in the place where Armenians gathered, and those with good brains used deceptive means to fool Armenian women to work in Europe.

Zanzibari merchants were paid only two castrated indigenous East African slaves in exchange for an Armenian woman.

Now, influenced by the cheap slave market, there is a trend in the Ottoman Empire that uses blacks for productive activities.

These blacks are cheap, easy to use, and disposable, without any hidden dangers, and they have dark complexions, and it is impossible to escape.

The landlords, bureaucrats, and aristocrats of the Ottoman Empire used blacks to plow the land, mine, build wonders, and satisfy their luxurious lives.

Even cheap labor, which greatly eased the dependence of the Ottoman Empire on European machines, the import of goods.

Now it is not a question of productivity, but of the number of black slaves, and the more slaves, the corresponding wealth can be created.

Even some industries that relied heavily on manpower, after the mass use of blacks, the Ottoman Empire had a competitive advantage over Europe, and some handicraft products were sold back to the European region.

As for the loss of black slaves, it is naturally quite large, working day and night, eating even pig food, and basically declaring death when they get sick.

But the Ottoman Empire did not panic at all, and now with the help of the East African colonies, it is as much as it wants.

Ernst also did not care about the situation of black slaves in the Ottoman Empire, and did not want to return after leaving East Africa.

And the Zanzibar merchants, except for the natives who lost money at sea and paid for the needs of the Ottoman bureaucracy, were all their own, and these were not used for exchange, but were directly used to sell on the market.

The East African colonies earned, the Zanzibar Sultanate earned, the Ottoman Empire earned, the Arab merchants earned, and a world where only the natives were injured was reached.

Mark Verian arranged for his men to send the Armenian women, numbered, to various parts of the East African colonies.

This large-scale "purge" campaign in the East African colonies will solve the problem of how to arouse the enthusiasm of Chinese soldiers.

After all, fighting with the natives is also a threat, and even if the natives shoot their bows and arrows indiscriminately, they may injure some unlucky people.

And the East African colonies did not have bonuses to pay to these migrant soldiers, so what was used to motivate them?

Of course, what they need most is to start a family. Living in the East African colonies, it is no longer a fantasy to be full, as the saying goes, there is basically no alcohol in the East African colonies, and Chinese immigrants do not need it, after all, they can't even eat back then, and they still want to drink?

Now that there is a basic guarantee of food, clothing, housing and transportation, what Chinese bachelors need most is to pass on their ancestry.

This is the case in this era, what fear of marriage, free love, and groups of wives and concubines are all high-level methods played by the rich and nobles.

The common people are single-minded and unpretentious, and the East African colonies take advantage of this by giving the highest reward to the Chinese in the East African colonies by allocating daughters-in-law.

In the past, the East African colonies did not do nothing, and brought in indigenous women from Southeast Asia every month, but in very small numbers.

For the people who have worked and contributed the most to the colonial Chinese immigrants, there is a direct wedding gift package.

But in the past, there were only 100 Chinese who could get this gift package every month.

Even so, the Chinese bachelors who saw hope were also full of energy, especially the first batch of Chinese who started a family in East Africa, and their children could run away from the ground, and they were the envy of many bachelors.

Even before the "purge" campaign, the colonial governments of East Africa had promised that the best performing towns and villages would receive more women.

In their own location, the better the performance, the greater the chance of getting a woman, which completely stimulates the enthusiasm of the majority of Chinese immigrant bachelors.

They enthusiastically joined the army and joined the armies of the East African colonies, as for the Armenians, Christians, and the indigenous people of Southeast Asia......

For the Chinese people at the bottom of this era, they are not picky eaters, as long as they can give birth and raise.
