On the third floor of the trading building in the east of Weihai City.
The venue, which was several hundred square meters, was temporarily transformed into an auction house.
And here, an unprecedented auction would be held. The auction would be for the female Tartars that were snatched back from Lushunkou.
As for the food, gold, silver, jewelry, Liaodong medicinal herbs, and so on, they were all left for Weihai Wei's own use. Food was used as a reserve to deal with the increasing population in the territory.
As for gold and silver, they were used to cast silver and gold coins. With one additional work, they could increase the value by 10%.
Medicinal herbs were an important strategic reserve. In this era where there was no such thing as penicillin, Chinese medicinal herbs were used to treat illnesses.
Most of the territory under Weihaiwei was used to build farms, grow rice, cotton, and sisal. There was no herb garden, and it was not easy to build a herb garden. Most of the Chinese medicine required a lot of time.
The shortest was two to three years, and the longest was even more than ten years.
From now on, Weihai Wei would have to go on a war with the outside world, so they would only have a small amount of medicinal herbs, not too much.
Lin Feng would only purchase more herbs as a strategic reserve and not sell them for money.
It could be said that the raid at Lushunkou had yielded a lot of gains, but the only ones that could be used and sold for silver were these female Tartars.
Obviously, the auction of the female Tartars was very popular with the southern merchants. These people were the real rich people.
Female Tartars had never been publicly auctioned in the market, so they were very rare.
There were several hundred southern merchants present, and each of them had a solemn expression on their faces. It was as if they were going to the battlefield, and they were determined to buy a few female Tartars to play with.
Give them a good long face!
What's the big deal about playing with foreign horses?
Playing with female tartars was the real hero, the real capable person!
The auctioneer was a merchant that Lin Feng had produced from the system market. His language was extremely provocative, and it was the best way to host an auction.
"As everyone knows, our Weihai Navy gathered the main forces of two large fleets and launched an attack on the Manchu Tartars in Liaodong. We successfully took Lushunkou and returned with a great victory.”
"In this battle, our army has killed thousands of Tartars and executed the punishment of beheading those traitors who were hated by the heavens. At least thousands of traitors who were willing to be the Tartars 'lackeys were beheaded on the spot! To show my Weihai Wei's determination to be irreconcilable with the Manchu Tartars!”
"Everyone has been working with Weihaiwei for a long time and is very clear about our Weihaiwei policy. Let's not talk about idle talk anymore and get straight to the point!”
The auctioneer gave a simple account of what had happened, expressing the Weihai Wei's attitude and determination towards the Manchu Tartars. Then, he waved his hand.
A pair of Tartar mother and daughter, who had been dressed up, appeared in the center of the booth.
The mother-daughter pair looked like they had been pampered and had the demeanor of nobles.
"Everyone has seen this pair of tartar mother and daughter. They are definitely not people with rough skin as you imagine. On the contrary, their skin is very delicate and smooth.”
"Because they aren't ordinary people. They are the wives and daughters of the Tartars of the Qing Dynasty. Tartar Niu Lu controls 300 Tartar soldiers, and his family has thousands of slaves working for them.”
"A real Tartar noble!"
"Do you want to taste the life of the Tartar nobles, the taste of their wives and daughters?”
"Please raise the price as much as you want!"
"A Tartar noble mother and daughter, starting price of 100 silver dollars, each increment must not be less than 10 silver dollars!”
As the auctioneer introduced them, the hundreds of merchants below were stunned. This pair of tartar mother and daughter, regardless of their appearance or figure, were all exquisite. Not to mention, they were the wife and daughter of a tartar noble.
In the Ming army, the officer in charge of three hundred soldiers was a minor official.
However, in the Manchu Tartars, 300 soldiers were the true nobles!
This was because the system of the Ming Dynasty was different from that of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was a slave aristocrat system, and the soldiers under them could all be considered private soldiers.
Not to mention the number of slaves under him, it was several times or even more than ten times.
With thousands of slaves, that was simply the treatment of the Great Ming Prince!
"Three hundred silver coins, I'll buy it!"
"You want to buy a pair of tartar mother and daughter flowers with three hundred silver coins? Was he dreaming? I offer five hundred silver coins!"
"Stop dreaming. If this pair of mother and daughter were to be auctioned in Nanjing, those dignitaries would probably spend thousands or even tens of thousands of taels! I offer 1,000 silver coins!"
"Haha, you already know how much it's worth, and you still want to take advantage of it? I offer 3,000 silver coins!"
"Five thousand silver coins!"
"Six thousand!"
“.....”
"10,000 silver coins!"
Intense bidding sounds rang out continuously. After a few rounds of bidding, a sky-high price of 10,000 silver dollars finally killed everyone in a second and won the Tartar mother and daughter.
10,000 silver dollars was a sky-high price. If he wanted to buy rice, he could buy seven to eight million catties in Weihaiwei.
However, the merchant who bid did not feel any regret at all. Instead, he was extremely excited when he actually auctioned it off.
From the looks of it, he couldn't wait to bring this mother and daughter back immediately.
This auction had a good start with a sky-high price of 10,000 silver dollars.
As more and more Tartar women went up to the auction stage, all the merchants raised the price crazily.
It could be seen how much the Ming Dynasty hated the Tartars these years. At the same time, the market demand for Tartar women had greatly exceeded everyone's imagination.
Countless people wanted to buy a Tartar woman to vent their anger and bring glory to the country.
As time passed, the auction hall's popularity did not decrease. The last finale item was on stage.
These were the wives and daughters of the Eight Banners of the Tartars. One mother and two daughters. The daughters were twins. Such quality would be the best anywhere, not to mention the wives and daughters of the Tartars.
All the merchants went crazy!
In the end, it was sold at a sky-high price of 50,000 silver dollars.
The first Weihai Female Tartar Auction ended with millions of silver dollars.
When Lin Feng heard the report, he took a deep breath.
In just one raid, with less than a hundred casualties, he had earned back at least six million silver dollars worth of supplies.
"As expected, robbery comes quickly!!”
Sighing, he silently shed a crocodile tear for the Tartars 'tragic encounter. Then, he made up his mind to continue snatching Tartars!
Send out more navy, more merchant ships, as well as real land forces to expand the scope of plundering. Not only along the coast, but even the interior of Liaodong!
The Heavenly Dao was good at reincarnation. Who would the Heaven spare?
The Tartars, who had started off as robbers, never dreamed that they would become like Da Ming, treated as leeks by others, and would come to harvest from time to time!
And his methods were even more ruthless!
It hit their sore spot!
After all, every time they plundered, they would kill all of their clansmen and rob all of their women. This was an unbearable loss for their small population.
And Lin Feng felt that it was too little!
Killing a few thousand Tartars was too little!
No matter what, he had to kill hundreds of thousands of Tartar men and make them extinct!
With the current population of the Manchurian Tartars, killing a few hundred thousand Tartar men would almost wipe out the entire race.
In terms of a war of attrition, the Manchurian Tartars were the most feared and the most unexpendable!
After all, they had a full army of Eight Banners Soldiers. If one of them died, one of them would die!
Lin Feng immediately ordered his navy commander to continue looting the Manchurian Tartars. He wanted to beat them until they felt pain in their hearts and reduce their overall strength!
