The Rise of the European Emperor

There are indeed hundreds of French laborers on Capri Island, transferred from Mount Vesuvius. Today, they are all locked up in the military-managed barracks on the island. When they have work to do, they will be monitored and come out to work.

Modeste did not mention the rights of these French laborers, so he began to lobby the Spanish official Calis on the island, demanding control of these French laborers, and quietly revealed his plan.

To be honest, Callis also supports this plan in his heart. But thinking of Toleni's fate, Kalis didn't dare to mess around. So, he reported the matter to Gonzalo.

Gonzalo is worried that Spain is also infected with smallpox. He is worried that Spain, which has been baptized by smallpox, will be suppressed by France. For strategic reasons, Gonzalo decided to support Modeste's approach. Indeed, this is a good way with the least cost.

However, Gonzalo also knew that this matter was very risky. Tolani has already paid his life for this matter, whoever does this will be in danger...

But if you don't do it, the French will happily watch Spain suffer, and take the opportunity to overwhelm Spain. Even Spain will eventually lose the conflict in the Kingdom of Naples.

After thinking about it, Gonzalo secretly gave an order to Callis—to acquiesce to Modeste's approach, but never publicly support it, especially not to leave written traces...

Obviously, Gonzalo intends to sacrifice the unlucky Modeste...

But the unlucky Modeste didn't know that after Callis hinted that he could act, he sent people to Naples to find smallpox patients to infect hundreds of French laborers. And Callis also tacitly withdrew the guards on the edge of the labor camp so that the guards would not be infected. Then Modeste's smallpox-stricken sailors took over the management of the labor camp...

Unknowingly, hundreds of French laborers worked together with a dozen patients infected with smallpox but not yet broken out. Because it was too hot, many people were shirtless, which made it easier for the smallpox virus to spread...

A few days later, seeing that those smallpox patients were about to get sick, Modeste quietly sent them away. Subsequently, the group of French laborers were "pardoned" by Modeste and sent back to France by ship...

The group of French laborers couldn't help being very excited when they heard that they were pardoned and could be sent back to their hometown. But they don't know that they have been deteriorating several smallpox patients figured out for days time...

After Modeste sent them to the southern coast of France by boat, the group of French laborers whose illness had not yet broken out hurried back to their respective villages...

...

After finishing this important event, Modeste was waiting to "receive the reward" when he came back. But he didn't know that Gonzalo had already gotten angry with Juan III and planned to give up this guy.

However, Juan III is also considered humane, and promised Paul Modeste's eldest son to become a knight in the future...

Half a month later, smallpox also broke out in southern France. And Gonzalo promptly shifted the blame to Modeste. As for the unlucky Modeste, when he learned that Gonzalo was going to commit suicide by taking poison himself, his face was full of confusion...

"The ending shouldn't be like this...the ending shouldn't be like this..."

"If you are willing to commit suicide and take all the responsibilities, your eldest son, Modeste Jr., will become a fief knight in the future... This is not my promise, but the one above..." Gonzalo pointed to the sky ,

Indicates instructions from above. The meaning is very simple, it is the king's promise...

Obviously, the king was also satisfied with his deeds, but under the pressure of public opinion, he did not dare to reward him. Therefore, he can only cash the reward to his children...

"A fief knight..." Modeste finally had light in his eyes...

That night, Modeste committed suicide by taking poison in the prison on Capri Island, and wrote a "repentance letter", bearing all the charges...

...

Gonzalo, being an honest man, felt sorry for Modeste. Therefore, after Modeste's death, he publicly condemned this behavior, but secretly sent Modeste's younger brother Wagara to the captain's school, intending to train him to be a future captain. A disguised compensation for the Durst family. After all, Modeste's eldest son, Modeste Jr., is only 10 years old, and it will take more than ten years before he grows up and finds an excuse to become a knight. For more than ten years, their family has no pillars, and it is easy to collapse. So, Gonzalo began to train Modeste's younger brother Vagara. Wait until the little Modeste is an adult, and then train him. Of course, he may not be able to wait for that day, but Juan III certainly can. After all, Juan III was still young.

However, Juan III has no energy to think about other things at the moment, because - smallpox broke out in Spain...

Because the discovery was not in time, although Spain took some measures, it was still too late. When Gonzalo brought back to China the method of controlling the epidemic that he learned from the North Sea country, the smallpox epidemic in Spain was out of control...

Several small coastal villages that were originally infected with smallpox brought smallpox into the city when residents with latent smallpox virus entered the city to purchase daily necessities. Then, it was taken to all parts of the country by the merchants in the city...

Although both Juan III and Ferdinand II issued orders banning population movement across the country, it was still a bit late. After all, there was no telegraph telegraph in this day and age. It took a few days for many orders to reach the local government. And during this time difference, some businessmen traveled around and spread smallpox...

In desperation, Juan III and Ferdinand II could only remedy as much as possible. While cutting off the commercial routes of various cities, in order to ensure the supply of food, thousands of smallpox-stricken young men were selected to deliver food to various cities to prevent people from starving to death. As for the countryside, there is no need to transport grain, because rural manors generally have grain storage. Only city dwellers need a constant supply of food.

However, Spain is so big, and it is surrounded by mountains. In some mountainous areas, news transmission is not smooth, and the roads have not been blocked to prevent foreigners from entering... In short, the epidemic has become bigger in Spain...

...

And France is even worse. The French are not very clear about the advanced disease prevention and control measures of the North Sea State because of their bad relationship with the North Sea State. Therefore, when smallpox broke out in the coastal areas of southern France, the French failed to take appropriate measures to control the epidemic in time.

The famous coastal city of Marseille has become an important disaster area of ​​smallpox because of the passing of merchants...

Because there were no restrictions on the travel of residents, smallpox patients ran around the city. In Marseille, a large French city with a population of more than 20,000, half of the residents were infected with smallpox. Then, a large number of residents fled Marseilles to avoid contracting the vicious smallpox disease. But among those who escaped, some were also infected with smallpox. As a result, smallpox continued to spread to the surrounding area...

In a relatively short period of time, almost all the French Mediterranean coast was affected by the smallpox epidemic, and the number of people affected by the disaster was as high as one million-no way, the population of France is so large...
