The Rise of the European Emperor

The cancellation of Gonzalo's excommunication can be said to be joyful and worrying for some. Spain is naturally extremely happy. Because, their most reliable commander will not be forced to leave his post due to excommunication. Although it was embarrassing to kneel in Rome for three days and three nights, Gonzalo didn't feel anything, and it was hard for others to say anything.

Even King Ferdinand II of Aragon, who has always been very uncomfortable with Gonzalo, was secretly happy. He has always been displeased with Gonzalo, always feeling that the other party has robbed him of the king's limelight, and he was still ambiguous with his wife Isabella I. Therefore, Ferdinand II felt secretly refreshed about Gonzalo's embarrassment. But Ferdinand II also had to admit that the Spanish army is inseparable from the command of Gonzalo at the moment.

Therefore, regardless of their views on Gonzalo's punishment, the Spanish ruling and opposition parties are happy that Gonzalo can cancel the excommunication. Except, of course, those French spies lurking in Spain.

In contrast, the French were very annoyed that Gonzalo's excommunication was cancelled. Because their plan to take back the Kingdom of Naples by taking advantage of Gonzalo's absence as commander went bankrupt before it even started.

In fact, they did consider frightening the English at the fortress of Calais by projecting the clothes and blankets of smallpox patients. Big deal, time to repent. But Julius II "patched" in time and cut off their thoughts.

Of course, Charles, Earl of Nantes, also considered finding a scapegoat to take the lead, implement this plan, and then sacrifice the scapegoat.

However, it is too difficult to find this scapegoat. Because, the person who is qualified to be the coach of the French army must be at least an earl. Using someone with a low-level title as a temporary coach, other countries will not believe it at first glance. But the dignified earl, who is willing to sacrifice himself for a mere fortress in Calais? Therefore, this matter can only be a hypothesis.

Although Gonzalo is also an earl, he is different. Gonzalo is not the heir of the family, because he is not the eldest son. And he did not marry and have children, and no one inherited his title. Therefore, he can not care about face. Anyway, after his death he was wiped out. Therefore, Gonzalo could kneel at the door of the Lateran Hall and repent humbly. For the benefit of Spain, face can be disregarded.

But ordinary earls are different. Ordinary earls are dragged down by their families, and they need to worry about the family's face and family inheritance. Therefore, no one can spare it. And those who are willing to go out are often only those who have nothing. Otherwise, there would be no such saying as "the barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes".

Also, the English are not stupid. After being reminded by Marin, Edward rushed to various parts of England to select and forcibly recruit 3,000 strong men who had suffered from smallpox, and organized them into an army as the defenders of the Calais fortress.

To be honest, 3000 soldiers is a little less, but Edward can't help it. Because it is far away from the European continent, the spread of the plague in England is not as serious as that in the European continent. To be able to find 3,000 strong men who have survived smallpox is considered pretty good.

The Calais fortress is already very strong, with 3000 strong men, no matter how many drops it can hold for a long time. What's more, there is the full support of England behind it.

However, the English also had some drums in their hearts-what if the French really did this? Once smallpox broke out in the city, only the 3,000 strong men would be there to support them. They are not professional soldiers, they can only be regarded as recruits. I wonder if they can withstand the siege of the French...

For this question, the little Caesar finally gave the answer-there is no need to worry about the French using smallpox to seize Calais!

why? Caesar's reason is simple,

It's also very straightforward-if smallpox really broke out in Calais, ordinary French soldiers would not dare to approach it! They also cherish their lives! Only those generals who have survived smallpox will dare to approach and lay siege to the fortress of Calais!

Even if France has more young men who have had smallpox than England, there is no guarantee how many there will be. If more than 10,000 people can be mobilized, it will be the best. But these people may not be elite veterans. If they are young men recruited from civilians, what is the difference between young men from England in the city? We are all recruits, and the strong men of England relying on the walls of the Calais fortress, can they still have an advantage...

Marin suddenly realized—yes, smallpox is too terrible. If smallpox really broke out in the Fortress of Calais, normal French knights who had never had smallpox would not dare to approach it! Didn't those French knights persuade them when Gonzalo threatened? If it were an ordinary strong man who had survived smallpox to attack the city, facing the tall city wall, there would be nothing he could do...

I also think too much, I might as well think clearly as a child like Caesar...

Marin notified Edward of Caesar's opinion in the form of flying pigeons, and Edward was relieved and let go of his worries.

Of course, there are still hidden dangers. Therefore, if you really want to completely solve the problem, you still have to rely on the vaccinia method...

...

On Wangeoog Island, the easternmost island of the East Frisian Islands, the results of the observation of vaccinia cultivation on 30 death row prisoners have come out.

The 30 prisoners on death row were planted with vaccinia in batches. It turned out that two of the six people who planted vaccinia in the first batch died, and one of the second batch also died. But in the next few batches, no one died.

In other words, it is safer to take vaccinia from cows infected with smallpox and the closer to the time when the cows are cured, the safer. Because, the later the period, the stronger the resistance to smallpox in the cow. Collecting such vaccinia and inoculating it on human arms will increase the safety.

Moreover, this has a certain relationship with the cow itself. The stronger the cow, the better the effect after the cowpox on the body is transplanted. For example, those 8 strong bulls who were hard to get sick after being exposed to smallpox virus also recovered the fastest after being forcibly infected. The cowpox collected from them is also very effective.

Therefore, Hans, the leader of the vaccinia research team, wrote a very long report, reporting the results of this study.

Reports show that it is safest to collect cowpox when smallpox has started to scab over the cows. It is dangerous to collect cowpox when the body is covered with pustules. For example, the three people who died during the experiment were all collected and transplanted with vaccinia in the early stage when the scab had not yet formed. If you wait for smallpox-infected cows to start scabbing, it is very effective to collect meat particles from the scabbing area at that time. Moreover, the security is also high.

Then, Dr. Hans also applied for the cowpox from the eight strongest cows to be used to vaccinate the Marin family...

Ma Lin went happily, and brought the whole family, Felice and Felice's children, including Gan Fushuizi and Gan Fuxinchang, who were raised outside the palace, to the Jever area opposite Wangeog Island Harle, a small fishing village in the north of Wangerland, is waiting for the cowpox from the opposite side...

Soon, several doctors wearing white coats, holding glass containers, and wearing masks, boarded a special fishing boat in the fishing village of Harle, and quickly planted vaccinia for the Marin family.

After vaccinating, Marin did not leave immediately, but stayed in the local fishing village, waiting for a slight reaction...
