Chapter 1764: Pope decree and study vaccinia law
Not to mention when the Spaniards discovered that 800 ordinary horses were mixed in the war horses. Marin, after the French left Naples City, also quickly received the information.
After hearing that Gonzalo scared away tens of thousands of French troops with a fake "clothes blanket for the dead of the smallpox", Marin was so angry. He was counting on the death of Western France and France. Only in this way, French talents have no time for him. The reason why he asked John Rafi to propose to Francois I to control smallpox was that, in addition to fearing that the smallpox spread to the north and spreading to the North Sea country, he hoped that France could have a stable rear, so that he could comfortably die with Spain and compete for Naples .
But now, Gonzalo, some old clothes and blankets, actually scared the tens of thousands of French troops ...
After was angry, Marin was nervous. Why? When the 35,000 French troops come back, the French will be able to do things in other directions!
This way, I'm going to be nervous for a while ... Well, no, the most nervous thing is the British who just got back to Calais.
With this main force returning to the country, the smallpox in northern France is under control again, and will definitely find a way to retake Calais ...
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, Marin frowned ...
What did Marin think of? What he thinks about is-if the French also use the trick of "the smallpox of the dead's clothes blanket" to scare the English who are guarding the Calais fortress, will the English be scared away? The possibility is very great ...
"No, we must stop the French from doing this!"
Marin will not doubt that the French will do this, because the other party has an Earl of Charlie, so it is easy to copy this tedious tactic. Therefore, he must find a way to stop this situation!
How to stop it? First of all, it is necessary to severely punish Gonzalo who first used this method!
Therefore, Marin wrote a secret letter and passed the pigeon biography to Pope Julius II, who was far away in Rome, and advised him to deal with Gonzalo severely. Kill one hundred and one hundred in order to prevent others from learning something-in fact, to prevent the French from learning this trick against the Calais fortress.
After receiving the letter from Marin, Julius II also believed that it must be severely punished. Otherwise, someone will mess up. As a result, Julius II issued an instruction that publicly and severely criticized Gonzalo de Cordova for using the "spread smallpox" tactics, and announced a three-year penalty, that is, the cancellation of Gonzalo within three years. Membership. This is the first offense. If there is a similar situation, it will be a permanent penalty (in fact, Marin is worried that Spain will fight against France without a name. Because of the permanent penalty, Gonzalo will have no chance to command the army. In Europe It is impossible to become a nobleman and a senior army commander without a membership.) But because Gonzalo did not really do this, he was exempted from fire punishment. However, at the end of the teachings, Julius II sternly warned all of Europe-in the future it will not be used in wars such as "spreading smallpox". Otherwise, even the king, he will be punished without pardon. If this is the case, the sentence of fire is directly pronounced! If the King supports his men to do so, once found, the King will also be punished!
After this instruction was issued, it received the support and welcome of the vast majority of people across Europe. Because the spread of smallpox is indeed very bad, and it scares everyone.
Only Charlie, the Earl of Nantes, who was on his way back to France, was very depressed. Because, he did think of offering this plan to the Calais fortress after returning home. In this way, he can get the attention of the new king Francois I. Unexpectedly, the Pope "patched a patch" in advance, so that his ideas fell through.
……
However, despite the Pope ’s warning, Marin was worried that the French would find a substitute for the dead and then perform a bitter plan to deal with Calais in the same way.
Therefore, Marin sent what happened in Italy to London with flying pigeons, and sent his men to Edward, telling Edward that the French must be prevented from using this evil method to deal with the Calais fortress. Therefore, Marin suggested that Edward, an adult man who had been selected for smallpox from all over the country, would be trained as an army and stationed in Calais, so that the French would not be so desperate to use smallpox.
However, there seems to be no smallpox outbreak in England in recent years, only small places have appeared on a small scale. Therefore, it is estimated that there are not many strong men who have won the smallpox.
Therefore, it is best to find another way to deal with ...
……
What way? Of course it is the famous "vaccinia method"!
In fact, before deciding to colonize Haiti Island, Marin had thought about using the cowpox method, and also formed a medical research team, intending to study the cowpox method.
The doctors in this medical research team are all people who have had smallpox, so they are not afraid of smallpox virus. However, they encountered a big problem in studying the cowpox method-no source of smallpox virus!
Even if you study the cowpox method, it is necessary to infect cattle with smallpox virus. But without the source of smallpox virus, their research has stalled.
It happened that smallpox broke out in Italy, Spain and southern France this time, so Marin decided to start studying the cowpox method now!
So, Marin sent two clippers, loaded with people from the entire medical research team and 30 sturdy cattle without seasickness, to go to Spain to collect smallpox virus to continue to study the cowpox method.
In fact, Marin hopes to send more ships and more cattle to Spain to collect smallpox virus. But unfortunately, he couldn't find enough sailors to survive the smallpox ...
Those who perform this task must be able to survive smallpox. Otherwise, there will be danger to life. Malin got together and got together 80 sailors. Helpless, only two ships can be sent to Spain to collect smallpox virus.
……
When the two collection ships arrived on the Spanish coast, the Spanish smallpox had fully exploded. Today, the whole of Spain is trembling. Only the area near the capital Toledo, the northern half of Aragon, and the northern area north of Toledo up to the Atlantic coast have not been affected by smallpox. Half of Spain, to the south and east of Toledo, was covered by the shadow of smallpox.
Marin's smallpox collecting vessel arrived and found that a small town port in the southeastern coast of Spain was completely deserted, and there was no one in the town. They only found some dead bodies. It seems that those who died had smallpox. Because they have pockmarks on their faces ...
So, they quickly collected smallpox virus-they used the blankets and personal clothing used by the deceased to wrap the brought cattle. Then, wait for the cow to get sick ...
On the way back ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Sure enough, most of the vaccinia contracted smallpox, and only 8 very strong bulls did not get sick. The people in the research team collected the blood from the affected cow with a heart, and applied it to the wounds of the eight cows cut by them. Then, these 8 cows are also sick ...
At the end of June, when the fleet returned to East Friesland, there were 30 cattle on board, and 6 had died of illness. The mortality rate was 20%, which was much lower than the 30% of humans. After all, the cow's body is stronger.
After returning home, the ship did not dock at the port of Emden, but docked on the island of Whangaoog in the East Frisian Islands specially prepared for them by Marin, and studied the cowpox law on the island.
There is no way. If the variola virus is brought back home rashly, many people may die in Beihai. It is relatively safe to study on islands off the coast.
At this time, all the others on Whangoag Island were evacuated, leaving only enough food and 500 strong cattle for the research team to study.
Of course, Marin sent 30 dead prisoners to come over as research objects ...
According to Marin's instructions, when these cows with smallpox but not dead were going to heal, they collected pustules on them, squeezed out the virus inside, and planted them on the arms of the death row ...
Then, they waited to see the reaction of the death row ...
