Chapter 1769： Vaccinated for a crown?

After thinking all night, Marin was still not determined. Because he felt that the brutality of later generations had nothing to do with people of this age. At this time, there are three kinds of people in Japan-nobility, samurai and civilians.

The nobility is the ruling class, greedy and stupid, a bit vicious; the civilian class is more miserable, driven by the nobles and the samurai class as cattle, and belongs to the victim class; the samurai class is the evil dog raised by the noble class Is vicious. Japanese pirates who attacked the coast of the Ming Dynasty belonged to this class.

However, the aristocratic class and the samurai class account for a small part of the Japanese population and do not occupy the mainstream. If the smallpox is spread, most of them are civilians. These "primary school students" civilians, who are generally only about 1.5 meters tall, are only promised to be driven by others, similar to Yang Bailao. To harm them with smallpox, Marin could not find any sense of accomplishment.

As for the more ferocious Japanese nobles and warriors, because of the small number, they can be killed with muskets, and there is no need to kill them with a large scale like smallpox.

Moreover, if smallpox was passed to Japan, it would be easy to be taken to Daming by the Japanese pirates who attacked the coast of the Ming Dynasty, which is not what Marin would like to see.

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

To this end, Marin intends to build a frozen warehouse on the snowy mountains of Iceland, specializing in the storage of underclothes and blankets used by the smallpox deceased who were sent to Spain and southern France.

But after thinking about it, Marin suddenly remembered that Greenland, which is just across the strait from Iceland, seems to be more suitable for saving smallpox virus.

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

It is different in Greenland, which is only a little west of Iceland, where there is no influence of the North Atlantic warm current, and even the Labrador cold current. So, although the latitudes are similar, Greenland is much colder.

It seems that only part of the southwestern coast of Greenland will be frozen in summer and exposed to the surface because of the Greenland warm current. In most other areas, the coast is cold and abnormal. Inland, it even has a low temperature of tens of degrees below zero. It is perfectly appropriate to establish a cold storage for viruses here.

As for the location, Marin is also planned-just on the east coast across the sea from Iceland ...

It is cold all year round, even if the sea surface is frozen, only the sea surface will be thawed in summer, and the ship can enter. It's summer time, you can get some clothes and blankets of the dead, and transport them for storage. When the vaccine is needed, the sailors who have vaccinated them will be sent there, and a relic will be taken out to infect the cow, make the vaccinia, and plant it for the patients.

At present, many people have been infected with smallpox in eastern and southern Spain, southern France, and the Naples region of Italy. Every day, some people die. There is no shortage of clothing and blankets for the dead of smallpox. It is easy to collect.

Because all the spies stationed in Spain, France and Italy have returned to the country to accept vaccinia (only John Raffy and other senior spies who ca n’t easily go to the North Sea country are sending vaccinia to plant them at home), and Marin does n’t know how many these three areas are at present. People dyed smallpox.

However, before these spies returned, millions of people were infected with smallpox in southern France, and tens of thousands have died. Because of the isolation measures adopted in Spain and the fact that the population is not so dense, there are only 300,000 to 400,000 infected people, but they are widely distributed. And in the area of ​​Naples, there are also 200,000 infected people ...

This is just the data before the spies returned, but Marin estimated that it must have increased a lot now. After all, the spread of smallpox is still very fast. Moreover, because of the number of smallpox deaths, the total number is said to have exceeded 200,000 and is still increasing.

At present, the entire southern part of Western Europe is shrouded in panic. People dare not go out and are hiding at home trembling. Because going out means facing the threat of death. After all, in this era, the mortality rate of smallpox was as high as 30% or even 40% to 50%.

I am afraid that only the North Sea country that is growing cowpox can have a certain resistance to smallpox. In other areas, even those who are not infected with smallpox for a while, have already jumped.

Because of the fear of smallpox infection, the European maritime trade has now been completely stopped. In particular, England has announced the closure of the country, and it is strictly forbidden for any foreign ships to dock. Only ships from the North Sea can approach the port of London. But you must also apply with the pigeons in advance, and only get permission to dock.

Marin silently sent 5 warships to the future daughter-in-law Princess Margaret to Aurich for a few days, and then tricked her to the small fishing village of Harle, a cowpox planting base, and quietly planted cowpox. Afterwards, Princess Margaret got a little fever, but was quickly suppressed by Chaihu and Yinqiao. In other words, Princess Margaret will not be afraid of smallpox anymore.

……

Just when Marin secretly promoted vaccinia for his own people in the North Sea country, he suddenly flew a pigeon from Rome, Italy, and brought a secret letter from Pope Julius II.

Opened the secret letter, but saw a suggestion from the father-in-law ...

Julius II himself had also grown vaccinia, in the small, closed fishing village of Dolomia near the Roman city where he was escorted by Marin.

Accompanied the Pope to plant vaccinia, as well as a group of followers who had been raised by the Rovere family since childhood. After planting vaccinia, the pope does n’t seem to believe its effect. So, he sent a family deceased from Chinese vaccinia to the smallpox epidemic area outside Rome. As a result, it was fine for more than ten days after returning. Obviously, the effect of vaccinia is reliable.

Then, our pope lord is fearless. However, some ideas were born ...

As a most senior priest, Julius II did not value the interests very much. What he wants more is to be famous, to become a great pope respected by future generations.

And for a pope ~ www.novelhall.com ~ what could be more fulfilling than defeating the devil-like disease of smallpox?

If he came forward and promoted the method of defeating smallpox throughout Europe, wouldn't his reputation be good enough to explode? Perhaps, the name of the "Greatest" Pope ...

Thinking of this, Julius II was tempted. Of course, he must not forget his son-in-law. After all, this method of fighting against smallpox was indeed created by his son-in-law. If Marin publicly "presents" the solution for smallpox, and then promote it by himself, while gaining his reputation, he can also give Marin a reward. For example, to reward a throne ...

The throne in Europe is very rare, and most people can't mix it up. Eastern European powers like Lithuania have not been able to get the title of Kingdom. However, the Holy See can be given. Of course, the premise is that you have to make great achievements. In this way, the Pope has a reason to crown you with a crown.

But this is not a problem for Marin. As long as the cowpox law is presented, the horrible smallpox that has plagued Europeans for thousands of years is contained, and it is not difficult for other countries to oppose it. Because everyone is a beneficiary. If anyone dares to object, it will be sprayed to death ...

After all, in this era, people still have a clear sense of resentment and value morals. The city of Marin is gracious in all of Europe, and it is not excessive to mix a crown ... not to mention, all of Europe is now terrified by the smallpox epidemic ...
