The Rise of the European Emperor

Marin was actually a little unhappy about the Pope's father-in-law's suggestion. Because smallpox is a big killer. If the vaccinia method to eradicate smallpox is handed over so easily, smallpox will not be able to make a fuss about it in the future.

However, the violent response of the Holy See this time also made Marin aware of a problem-spreading smallpox to deal with the enemy, while harming the enemy, it is easy to make himself a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats. Even, it may be wiped out by angry countries uniting.

Therefore, although it was a pity, Marin decided to accept the suggestion of the Pope's father-in-law after thinking twice, and offered the vaccinia method in exchange for practical benefits.

However, he has his own views on how to operate. After all, it is the soul of modern people who have experienced the hype era of later generations. Marin is more proficient in how to use the vaccinia method in exchange for the greatest benefit than his pope father-in-law.

So, at his suggestion, Pope Julius II first appeared in person and publicly prayed for all smallpox patients.

In addition, Julius II publicly offered a reward throughout Europe-if anyone could find a way to defeat smallpox, he would not hesitate to present a crown!

The attitude of Julius II has been unanimously respected throughout Europe, but no one thinks that this crown can be won by anyone. Because, in the eyes of everyone, smallpox is no different from death.

Moreover, according to superstition, smallpox, like the Black Death, is God's punishment on the world, and which mortal can solve it?

Only a small number of people in Beihai know that this crown is prepared for their Grand Duke Marin...

Because, although Marin kept it secret and did not disclose the effect of vaccinia, there are still a small number of insiders who know that vaccinia can fight against smallpox. For example, the core executives of Beihai State, as well as some spies. Especially for those spies sent to the epidemic area, Marin clearly told them that they were immune to smallpox before they dared to return to Spain, southern France and Italy.

However, there was a big mistake in the middle - a spy sent by the North Sea Kingdom to Italy probably lost his mind because of a convulsion, and planned to offer the vaccinia method himself, in exchange for the throne with the Pope...

As a result, this guy was naturally dealt with secretly by someone sent by Julius II...

Just kidding, this crown was originally prepared for your son-in-law, you are a servant, and you are trying to take credit for your master? Besides, give you the crown, do you have land?

...

Subsequently, Julius II issued 12 decrees in a row, guilty of his own edict, and earnest prayers for God to bless the people... In short, he interpreted a good pope who is eager to save the people to the extreme...

At the critical moment, Marin finally stood up...

Of course, Marin cannot directly say that he invented a method to fight smallpox. After all, this is too fantasy and does not fit the religious environment.

Therefore, Marin still let the non-existent so-called "big sage" teacher Einstein take the blame...

Marin said that the piety of the Pope moved God. Therefore, God specially guided himself, looking through the notes left by his former teacher Daxian Einstein, and found clues. After several months of trying, taking risks, and trying it myself, I finally found a way to fight smallpox - the cowpox method!

In order to defend his father-in-law, the Pope, who could not directly communicate with God, Marin said that he had asked this question in a dream,

The messenger of God said that the pope only manages believers, not diseases. Therefore, this matter needs to be told to the Holy See through the hands of others...

...

After all this tossing and flickering, the whole of Europe was sensational—what? Smallpox, representing the devil and death, was solved? seriously? Moreover, this vaccinia method is too weird...does it really work? Many people are skeptical...

However, Julius II, who had been vaccinated with cowpox, showed the wound on his arm and said that the pope had tried it himself, no problem! Which of you will be vaccinated first?

Under the eyes of everyone, while others were still hesitating, Archbishop Giovanni of the Medici family, who had already discussed with Marin and Julius II in private, was the first to stand up—here I come!

How could he miss this good opportunity to earn his reputation? Moreover, the Pope and Marin have repeatedly assured that there is no danger, how could he miss this opportunity?

If the pope hadn't been inoculated with cowpox, and if he planted it again, he would have a rejection reaction. How could Julius II allow him to steal the show?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Archbishop Giovanni, the future Pope Leo X, bravely rolled up his arms, closed his eyes and shouted:

"God is with us!"

Then, the people sent by the Beihai Kingdom took out the smallpox cowpox from the imported smallpox cattle, and planted it on the arm of Archbishop Giovanni in public...

The other archbishops of the Cardinals did not respond immediately, but chose to observe for a period of time...

More than ten days later, Archbishop Giovanni was still alive and kicking, but felt a little uncomfortable for a while. Then, dozens of cardinals of the College of Cardinals rolled up their arms, waiting for the cowpox to be planted...

By the end of July, the priests in Rome had been inoculated with vaccinia and began to promote it among Roman citizens.

For this reason, Beihai State transported thousands of smallpox cattle to supply vaccinia. And Julius II also issued an order to recruit private farm cattle for the cultivation and collection of vaccinia to supply the needs of the entire Pope.

In particular, at the beginning of August, a large number of missionaries who had been inoculated with vaccinia in the Papal State went deep into several isolated epidemic areas in the Papal State to help survivors who had not yet been infected and broke out of smallpox to plant vaccinia. During this period, none of the missionaries who had been inoculated with cowpox contracted smallpox...

Finally, in mid-August, France and Spain, which had been on the sidelines before, immediately submitted applications for the introduction of vaccinia. After all, the two countries urgently need to control smallpox now!

Of course, after they introduced the smallpox cattle allocated by the Holy See, the first step was not to send them to the affected areas, but to the capitals of the two countries first, and inoculated all the monarchs and nobles with vaccinia. Then, they began to cultivate new smallpox cattle and sent them to the epidemic area for use...

At this time, the three major epidemic areas of France, Spain, and Italy had already killed more than 300,000 people due to smallpox, and the death toll was still increasing.

After the cowpox was delivered, it immediately triggered looting and even a shopping spree. It was the army that came out to settle the matter. Of course, the soldiers were also inoculated with cowpox first, and then the civilians...

And Marin also made a small profit by exporting smallpox cattle as the source of vaccinia to various countries. England alone imported 3,000 smallpox cattle from the North Sea. Of course, these cattle were bought by Marin from the Ukrainian grasslands of the Crimean Khanate and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania at a cheap price.

...

When vaccinia was being vaccinated all over Europe, Julius II saw that the time was almost up, so he announced that he would honor the reward and prepare to grant Marin the throne.

And Marin, also escorted by two thousand cavalry, went south to Rome, preparing to publicly accept the coronation of the Pope's father-in-law Julius II in the Lateran Basilica, the headquarters of the Holy See...
