The Rise of the European Emperor

In any case, the Black Death (plague) was the first plague in Europe, and smallpox was the second. But to be honest, smallpox is force majeure, and the Black Death was purely caused by the Europeans themselves.

The so-called plague is naturally caused by mice. And why is there not much plague in other countries, but the European plague (Black Death) is so fierce? Because Europeans killed themselves and drove out cats!

Just because cats like to make shrill sounds (courtships) resembling baby cries on spring nights, stupid Europeans think cats are ominous creatures. Then, the rat-catchers were expelled and even killed.

Without the suppression of cats, rats were rampant throughout the Christian region of Europe, and the plague was naturally very easy to break out. Therefore, Marin felt that the Europeans were killing themselves.

He didn't want to worry about it at first, but in order to gain some reputation and gain some reputation for the newly established "Salvation Knights", Marin took out this theory. In fact, Marin has long come up with this theory. However, it is only promoted domestically in Beihai. It's not that he doesn't want to promote it all over Europe, but people don't believe it.

Moreover, cats are considered to be ominous incarnations, and if they rashly speak for cats, they will be attacked as "protecting evil".

But it's different now, because Marin is now an authority on medicine and has a very good reputation for coming up with a solution to smallpox. At this time, he stood up to speak for the cat, and if he didn't say anything else, at least he wouldn't be slandered. Because, at this time, others have no face to slander a hero who solved smallpox.

Of course, Marin didn't say it was his own opinion, but still pushed it to his legendary teacher "Einstein Great Sage"...

"Some time ago, I sorted out the broken notes that the teacher left me, and made two major discoveries. The first one, everyone knows it, is the method of resisting smallpox. The effect, I think everyone already knows …”

Having said that, all the monarchs and envoys present here nodded their heads. Moreover, they are full of admiration for Marin's legendary teacher "Einstein".

Although many people don't like Marin, the "upstart" in the aristocratic circle, everyone has to admit that Marin, the lord of the North Sea Kingdom from humble background, is the most outstanding young talent in Europe.

However, investigations by various forces showed that before meeting the great sage named "Einstein" and accepting his teaching, Marin was a pure 16-year-old ignorant boy. Even, a little silly. Because he was cheated out of his travel expenses, he almost starved to death, and was forced to sleep in the haystack next to the church...

In other words, all the changes and rises of Marin happened after seeing the legendary "Saint Einstein".

Therefore, everyone present had no doubts about the great sage's ability, and was extremely jealous of Marin's good fortune-a foolish boy was taught by the great sage for a month and had such a big change. If these people who were originally smarter than the foolish boy accepted the guidance of the Daxian...then they wouldn't be able to go to heaven?

Marin cleared his throat and continued:

"In addition to the method of fighting against smallpox, there is another thing recorded in the notebook, something that everyone is very concerned about - the source of the Black Death, and the method of fighting against it..." Marin said slowly.

"Coax—" The whole square was boiling, and even Julius II stood up excitedly and asked:

"Is there a solution to the Black Death?"

Marlin shook his head,

road:

"Not yet, but there are certain preventive measures. Next, let me introduce you to the origin of the Black Death..."

"The real name of the Black Death should be 'plague', which is a plague spread by fleas on rats. As we all know, fleas are little devils that live on humans and animals and feed on blood. And After some rats had plague, the fleas sucked their blood and then jumped on the human body to bite... At this time, the flea's fangs had already been infected with this plague, and another bite, the human would also be infected. The plague, the Black Death..."

"So that's the case... Then, where did the Black Death come from?" Emperor Maximilian I asked curiously.

"East!" Marin continued to explain:

"You should remember the history of the Tatars' invasion of Europe hundreds of years ago?" Europeans don't know Mongolia, only the Tatars who are mixed with Mongolians and whites.

"You mean, the Black Death was brought by the Mongols?" Maximilian I was surprised.

Marin nodded and said:

"Yes, my teacher once traveled to the envoys and went to the far east to investigate the matter. He found that the first plague outbreak in Europe occurred in the Kaffa port of the Crimean Khanate. At that time, the Kipchak Khanate A large army of Tatars laid siege to the Genoese-occupied port of Caffa around 1347, but was unable to conquer Caffa."

"At this time, the Black Death broke out in the Tatar army. Therefore, the Tatars used trebuchets to throw the dead of the Black Death into the city of Kaffa, and the Black Death broke out in the city of Kaffa."

"Then, the Genoese mercenaries in the city were forced to evacuate and return to Italy, bringing this terrible Black Death back to Western Europe..."

"Protest, this is a slander against the Republic of Genoa!" Protested by the envoy of Genoa, Marchini. If people think that the Genoese were responsible for the Black Death, Genoa's reputation will be bad. You know, the Black Death killed tens of millions of people in Europe. In many countries, the population has only recovered until now, and it is the same as before the outbreak of the Black Death.

Marin shook his head and said:

"I'm not slandering you. The teacher's record says that the mice with the virus hid in the Genoa ship and arrived in Italy. Then, the Black Death first broke out in Italy, and it was docked by the merchant ship returning home from Genoa. Messina erupted, then returned to Genoa to detonate and spread throughout Western Europe..."

After thinking about it for a while, Julius II nodded and said:

"Yes, the Black Death did appear after 1347, and it did break out first from Messina and Genoa..."

This sentence is equivalent to confirming the name that the Genoese brought back the Black Death. Immediately, all eyes of hatred in the audience turned to Marchini, the emissary of Genoa. In fact, Europeans also knew that the Black Death first broke out in Italy. However, there is no specific conclusion about who brought it back. Because everyone didn't know what happened to Kafa, and the Genoese kept it a secret. Messina and Genoa were both famous commercial ports in the Middle Ages. Not only did Genoa's own merchant ships dock, but also ships from Venice, Pisa, and Siena.

"Slander! It's all slander!" Marchini said excitedly.

Genoa, a commercial republic that was once as famous as Venice, has now declined, and it has to survive on French thighs. But if the reputation is completely stinky, who else will do business with them in the future?

In fact, the Genoese were well aware that they brought the Black Death back to Europe. However, no other countries knew what happened in Kafa that year, and the Mongols of the Kipchak Khanate were not familiar with European countries and would not speak. Therefore, although everyone has suspected Genoa for a long time, the Genoa people have denied it, and they have also thrown the blame on other Italian commercial countries, and Venice has also become the object of suspicion. Therefore, by muddying the water, Genoa did not have a big problem. If it was confirmed that Genoa was to blame when the Black Death broke out, Genoa would have been wiped out long ago. And now it has been revealed by Marin, although people are not so angry, they are definitely hostile to Genoa... Didn't I see that the monarchs and envoys in the audience all looked at Marchini with hostile eyes...

As an old rival of the Genoa, the Venetians were happy to see Genoa shriveled. However, because the Dalmatian governor Toleni maliciously spread smallpox, the Venetians did not dare to jump out. Now, the two commercial republics are also difficult brothers. But what makes the Venetians happy is that after Marin revealed the secret that the Genoas brought back the Black Death, the Venetians' crime of bringing back smallpox was temporarily covered up by Genoa's "big news" past. It seems that Marin is still a good friend of the Venetians, and helped divert everyone's attention from Venice... The Venetian messenger Charlotte looked at Marin with friendly and grateful eyes...
