The Rise of the European Emperor

After thinking about it all night, Marin still couldn't make up his mind. Because he felt that the cruelty of devils in later generations has nothing to do with people of this era. In this era, there were three kinds of people in Japan - nobles, samurai and commoners.

The nobles are the ruling class, greedy and stupid, and a bit vicious; the civilian class is more miserable, driven by the nobles and warriors as livestock, and belongs to the out-and-out victim class; and the warriors are the vicious dogs raised by the nobles. is vicious. The Japanese pirates who harassed the coast of the Ming Dynasty belonged to this class.

However, the noble class and the samurai class accounted for a small part of the Japanese population and did not account for the mainstream. If smallpox is spread to the past, most of the unlucky ones are civilians. These "primary school students" civilians who are generally only about 1.5 meters tall are submissive and willing to be driven by others, similar to Yang Bailao. Harming them with smallpox, Marin couldn't find any sense of accomplishment.

As for the more vicious Japanese nobles and samurai, because there are not many of them, they can be killed with muskets, and there is no need to use large-scale killings like smallpox.

Moreover, if smallpox is spread to Japan, it is easy to be taken to Daming by Japanese pirates who harassed the coast of the Ming Dynasty. This is not what Marin wants to see.

Therefore, Marin finally gave up the idea of ​​spreading smallpox to Japan. However, the virus should still be kept frozen. After all, if you want to vaccinate in the future, you also need the source of the virus.

To this end, Marin intends to build a freezer on the snow-capped mountains of Iceland, which is dedicated to storing the underwear and blankets used by the smallpox victims who were sent to Spain and southern France to collect them.

But after thinking about it, Marin suddenly remembered that Greenland, which is only separated from Iceland by a strait, seems to be more suitable for preserving smallpox virus.

This is because although Iceland is located near the Arctic Circle, due to the influence of the North Atlantic warm current, the temperature is not very low, and the temperature in summer can even reach more than ten degrees.

However, Greenland, which is only a little west of Iceland, is different. There is no influence of the warm North Atlantic Current, and there is even a cold Labrador Current. Therefore, although the latitude is similar, Greenland is much colder.

It seems that only parts of the southwestern coast of Greenland will thaw in summer and expose the surface due to the Greenland warm current. In most other areas, the coast is extremely cold. Its inland even has a low temperature of tens of degrees below zero. It is very appropriate to establish a virus cold storage here.

As for the location, Marin has also planned it-it's on the eastern coast across the sea from Iceland...

It is very cold there all year round, even the sea is frozen, and only in summer will the sea thaw and ships can sail in. Now that it's summer, I can get some clothes and blankets for the smallpox victims and ship them to store. When the vaccine is needed, send sailors who have been vaccinated there, take out a relic, infect cows, make vaccinia, and inoculate patients.

Right now, many people have been infected with smallpox in eastern and southern Spain, as well as southern France and Naples in Italy, and people die every day. There is no shortage of clothes and blankets for such smallpox victims, and they are easy to collect.

Because all the spies stationed in Spain, France and Italy have returned home to receive vaccinia (only John Rafi and other senior spies who cannot easily go to the North Sea country send vaccinia to plant), and now Marin does not know how many of these three regions People got smallpox.

However, before these spies returned, the number of people infected with smallpox in southern France reached millions, and tens of thousands died. Because of the isolation measures taken in Spain and the fact that the population is not so dense, there are only 300,000 to 400,000 infected people.

But widely distributed. In the Naples area, there are also 200,000 infected people...

This is only the data of the spies before returning home, but Marin estimates that it must have increased a lot now. After all, smallpox spreads very quickly. Moreover, the total number of deaths due to smallpox has exceeded 200,000 and is still increasing.

At present, the entire southern part of Western Europe is shrouded in panic. People are afraid to go out and are shivering at home. Because, going out means facing the threat of death. After all, in this era, the mortality rate of smallpox is as high as more than 30%, or even 40% to 50%.

I'm afraid that only the North Sea country, which is inoculated with vaccinia, can have a certain resistance to smallpox. In other areas, even if there is no smallpox infection for the time being, they are already in dire straits.

Because of the fear of smallpox infection, the maritime trade in Europe has now been completely stopped. England, in particular, has declared a closed country and strictly prohibits any foreign ships from docking. Only ships from the North Sea country can approach the port of London. But it is also necessary to apply with carrier pigeons in advance, and you can only dock after getting permission.

Marin quietly sent 5 warships to take the future daughter-in-law Princess Margaret to Aurich to play for a few days, and then tricked her to the small fishing village of Harle, a small pox planting base, where she was quietly planted with vaccinia. Afterwards, Princess Margaret had a little fever, but was quickly suppressed by Bupleurum and Yinqiao. In other words, Princess Margaret will not be afraid of the threat of smallpox in the future.

...

Just when Marin was secretly promoting vaccinia for his own people in the North Sea country, a carrier pigeon suddenly flew from Rome, Italy, and brought a secret letter from the Pope's father-in-law Julius II.

Opening the secret letter, I saw a suggestion from my father-in-law...

Julius II himself had been vaccinated with vaccinia, in the small closed fishing village of Dolomia near the city of Rome where Marin escorted him ashore.

Accompanying the Pope to plant cowpox, there are also a group of followers cultivated by the Rovere family since childhood. After being inoculated with vaccinia, His Excellency the Pope does not seem to believe in its effect. So, he sent a Chinese vaccinia family slain to the smallpox-infested area outside Rome. As a result, I was fine for more than ten days after I came back. Obviously, the role of vaccinia is reliable.

Then, our Lord Pope has nothing to fear. However, some ideas also came up...

As a most senior clergyman, Julius II didn't pay much attention to benefits. What he wants more is to be famous in history and become a great pope respected by later generations.

And what could be more fulfilling for a pope than to defeat a diabolical plague like smallpox?

If he came forward to promote the method of defeating smallpox throughout Europe, wouldn't his reputation explode after his death? Maybe, he can be called the "greatest" Pope...

Thinking of this, Julius II couldn't help being very tempted. Of course, he couldn't forget his son-in-law. After all, this method of fighting against smallpox was indeed invented by his son-in-law. If Marin publicly "presents" the solution to smallpox, and promotes it by himself, he can give Marin a reward while earning enough reputation. For example, rewarding a throne...

The European throne is very rare, and most people can't get it. Eastern European powers like Lithuania have not been able to get the name of the kingdom. However, the Holy See can give it. Of course, the premise is that you have to make great achievements that will last forever. In this way, the Pope has reason to crown you with a crown.

But this is not a problem for Marin. As long as the vaccinia law is given to curb the horrible smallpox that has plagued Europeans for thousands of years, and give a throne, other countries are not easy to object. Because everyone is the beneficiary of this matter. Anyone who dares to object will be sprayed to death...

After all, in this era, people still have clear grievances and grievances, and they value morality more. Marin City is benevolent to the whole of Europe, and it's not too much to be a crown... What's more, the whole of Europe is shaking with fear in the face of the smallpox epidemic right now...
