At the same time that the parliament hall of the Holy Roman Empire was changing towards the wet market, in the Prussian barracks outside Frankfurt, Hanbock was pushing and arguing with his friend Jodsen at the barracks gates.
At this moment, William did not come to Frankfurt as much as last time, and the royal guards who followed William to Frankfurt only had one cavalry regiment.
Born in Poland, Humbock performed quite well in the First Battle of Schwerin, so he was quickly promoted to a platoon commander after the war, and then during the battle against the Danish army, Humbock also made some contributions, so after the war, Hanbock's excellent performance attracted the attention of the royal guard.
With his own consent and that of his unit, Humbock was transferred to the Prussian Royal Guard, where he was promoted to the rank of major, and now he was the commander of the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the Royal Guard, which escorted Wilhelm to Frankfurt.
At the age of twenty-one, Hanbock set the record for the fastest promotion of a Pole in the Prussian army, and he became an idol to all soldiers from Prussian Poland.
"I said Hanbek, you kid is too rigid, think we're in Frankfurt now!
It's a real big city, and since we're here, we have to go shopping anyway!
” Looking at Yodson, whose eyebrows were fluttering, Hanbberk's face spread a wry smile.
"Yodsen, you must know that in the second half of this year, our regiment has several places to go to the Brandenburg Military Academy for further study, and my time is now spent on this, so how can I have any leisure to go shopping!"
"That's why I said Hanbek.
You are just too rigid, who doesn't know that you are the greatest hero of the conquest of Schwerin.
Don't worry, there must be you in this batch of officers for further training, and besides, the regiment commander didn't say that we were forbidden to go to Frankfurt, and we didn't pay today, and I also heard from those who came back yesterday that there are many dancers with different styles in Frankfurt, and it's good for us to go and see it!
” With that, Joderson threw a meaningful smile at Hanbock.
Yoderson was heard talking about the dancer.
Hanbock's heart was also a little moved.
Although Hanbock is twenty-one years old this year, and he is now also a well-known commander of the Guards battalion, if it were rested on a Prussian, it is estimated that such an excellent young man would have attracted countless Prussian nobles to grab their heads and be brought in as sons-in-law.
But because he came from a poor Polish family, few people in Prussia would regard Hanbock as a good candidate for a son-in-law, and Hanbock himself was relatively dull, and he spent all his time in the barracks.
So until now he doesn't have a girlfriend.
Although Prussian Poland had been assimilated by Prussia for several years, and Wilhelm repeatedly ordered that the people of Prussian Poland and the Prussian people should be treated equally in all aspects, but throughout the ages, regional prejudice could not be eliminated at all, and Hanbock naturally could not be accepted by the real Prussian elite.
But not having a girlfriend doesn't mean that Hanbock hasn't touched a woman, you must know that a twenty-one-year-old young man is at the time of his blood.
In addition, the officers around him would let loose when they had time, so one day at the age of twenty, which happened to be the day when the documents for Humberk's transfer to the royal guard were officially issued, Hambock handed over his first time to a good-looking dancer.
And this thing is as addictive as a drug, as the saying goes, ten men have nine flowers, even Humberk.
So as soon as Hanbock got his monthly salary, he got it.
Except for sending four-fifths home, most of the rest was spent on it.
I saw a look of interest on Hanbrick's face.
Jordan laughed "Okay, let's go, Frankfurt doesn't want Brandenburg, as one of the largest cities in the empire, girls from all over the world can be found in this city!"
After saying that, Yodson put Humberk into the carriage that had been prepared, and Hamberk saw that Yodson's attitude was resolute, and he was indeed aroused by Yodson, so he half-pushed and half-gave way to the carriage.
Yoderson is the logistics officer of the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the Guards, a position that can be said to be very rich, and the amount of forage consumed by the horses of the cavalry regiment every day is a large amount, although Yoderson is not the kind of person who is greedy, but the necessary unspoken rules must be carried out.
Even if Yodsen didn't want to, he still got extra money every month equivalent to double his military salary.
And Jodsen came from a wealthy merchant family in West Prussia, and he still had a relatively light view of money.
After three months in the 1st Cavalry Regiment, Yodson took a fancy to Hanberk, who was about the same age as himself, so if there was any good thing, Yodson would bring Hanberk with him.
As the logistics officer, Jodsen naturally had the right to transfer the carriages belonging to the 1st Cavalry Regiment, and the two were Prussian officers, so they naturally wanted to pay attention to their own image, so they rode into Frankfurt to swagger through the city.
The Prussian military camp was not very far from Frankfurt, and because William's escort was not very many, Frankfurt was also very relieved to place the Prussian army not far from Frankfurt.
More than half an hour later, Hanbock, who was sitting in the carriage, heard a loud commotion and saw that the carriage had entered the city gate of Frankfurt, and behind the gate was a bustling market.
Hanbock opened the curtains of the carriage and saw the bustling crowd on the street.
To Hanberk's further shock, when the carriage turned to the other side of the street, he saw a small platform, and a Caucasian man led a black man to the platform, and the black man had chains tied to his hands and feet, and saw the Caucasian standing on the platform and shouting to the crowd in front of him: "Two hundred silver coins!
Only 200 silver coins!
” "Hey, this gentleman, look at it, my black slave is only a teenager, after bringing it home, you can use it for decades, you see, this strong body, even if you buy it home to farm, it is definitely more cost-effective than cattle!"
The scene in front of him was no stranger to Hanbek, there was also a slave market in Poland, but he had never seen the sale of blacks in the slave market in his hometown, and even when he came to Prussia after joining the army, he had never seen blacks being sold.
Because of the shipping relationship, Prussia has no interests in Africa, unlike Britain and France, which can earn millions of dollars every year through the sale of black slaves, and most of the black slaves are also sold to those colonies in the Americas, which is indeed relatively rare in Central Europe.
Hanbock had never seen a black man, and the trafficked black man in front of him had apparently caught Hanbock's attention.
"Alright, Hanbock, isn't it just a black slave, look at your rare and strange appearance, you have to be prepared, the next thing is much more interesting than this, don't embarrass us guards!"
Seeing Hanbock's attention drawn to the window, Yoderson laughed and joked at Hanbock.
"Go, go, how can I be ashamed!"
Hanbrick retorted and looked out the window again, but at the same time, his mind was full of anticipation for what Yodson had said that was much more interesting.

The carriage stopped and stopped in the streets for more than an hour, and during this time Hanbock saw many things that he had never seen before.
Especially when the carriage stopped on a street, there was an acrobatic troupe passing by the side of the carriage.
When Humbock saw the elephant from India, he couldn't help but exclaim the miracle of God's creation, and then he saw a tiger from the Far East, and the tiger on his forehead made Humbock wonder if the black line on the head of this creature was deliberately drawn.
Rather than being impatient with Hanbberk's rarity along the way, Jodson sincerely took on the task of being Hanbrick's narrator, explaining something like an encyclopedia whenever Hanberk didn't understand something.
More than an hour later, the carriage stopped on a quieter street at the main entrance of a villa.
"Let's go, we're here!"
With that, Jodson motioned for Hanbock to get out of the car.
After getting out of the car, a waiter appeared out of nowhere, and the waiter walked up to the two of them and smiled: "I don't know if the two of you have made an appointment!"
"No appointment" "Alright then, two Excellencies, please come with me!"
With that, the waiter turned and led the way in front of the two of Yoderson.
Seeing this, Hanbock was a little puzzled, and he whispered to Yoderson: "Yoderson, what's going on?"
"It's okay, Hanbock, you can put ten thousand hearts, I can guarantee that you will definitely enjoy it very much today, and you will never forget it for the rest of your life!"
After saying that, Yodsen smiled at Hanberk, and the helpless Hanberk had no choice but to walk behind the two with black lines.
After a while, the waiter led them to the gate of a building, and then opened the gate for them "Enjoy, Your Excellency, and have fun!"
Yodsen was the first to walk through the door.
Upon entering the gate, Hanbock couldn't help but marvel.
From the outside, this house does not seem to be very large, but only when you go inside, you will find that the space of this house is simply very large.
Just the space uncle, there are a lot of people in the hall, you must know that it is only morning, Hanbock does not understand what can attract so many people here.
"Hehe, we're not all we see now, let's go Hanberk, what you're going to see next is the main show!"
