Sure enough, after smallpox spread to the Kingdom of Naples, it had not had time to spread to the Spanish army camps, but it spread to the Pope first.
Why is this? Because there was a fishing boat in that small fishing village that was fishing, and landed on the shore to purchase supplies at a port outside the city of Rome. When the fishermen on the boat set out from the fishing village, they did not find the smallpox because the smallpox was lurking. The incubation period of the smallpox was more than ten days. The fishermen were infected with the smallpox virus by the "mysterious people" from the village without notice, and then went out to sea to fish. More than ten days later, the fishing boat approached the waters near Rome. So, for living needs, the fishermen docked and the fishermen went ashore to purchase daily necessities. After the purchase, the fishermen on the boat also went to the tavern on the dock to drink for a while, and bragged with people for an afternoon of cattle comparison...
The problem is here. When they purchase supplies, they have short contact with people, but they have not infected the smallpox virus. But in the tavern, they follow a group of alcoholics next to the table. When they are happy, they hug one... Then, the tavern becomes a disaster area for virus infection...
When smallpox broke out in the port area outside Rome, Pope Julius II, who was in Rome, was almost scared to death. Damn, smallpox actually spread to the headquarters of the Holy See!
Fortunately, influenced by his son-in-law Malin, Julius II knew how to fight the epidemic. So the Pope ordered martial law throughout the city. At the same time, all the priests who survived smallpox were mobilized from all over the place and gathered in Rome...
After martial law was imposed throughout the city, all residents were not allowed to go out. The soldiers patrolling the streets also wore full set of protective clothing and masks.
Not only that, 7,000 mercenaries from Beihai Kingdom were also ordered to carry bags and sprinkle quicklime in the streets and alleys of the Roman city to disinfect them.
As for the food supply to the people in various regions, Pope Julius II ordered that 87 middle-aged and elderly people who have smallpox be allowed to push carts every day to deliver food to various residential areas. After they came back, they had to change their clothes and take a bath as soon as possible, so as not to spread the smallpox virus.
After selecting 66 mercenaries who had received smallpox as children from the army, Julius II sent these people to block the dock area and began to track down the source of smallpox.
With the help of spies from the North Sea Kingdom with high professionalism, Julius II finally tracked down the small fishing village in Naples called Chimons, and captured several smallpox patients living in seclusion outside the village.
At this time, two of the six smallpox patients sent by Dalmatia had died, and the other two were afraid they could not hold on. However, two young people were in good health and forced to hold on. Although there were pockmarks on their faces, they survived. Moreover, there was no need to worry about smallpox in the future.
The people from the Holy See caught four people who were not dead and tortured them, and soon learned the truth.
Although Tolani's original intention was to deal with the Spaniards, this incident endangered the Pope and made Julius II extremely furious!
The furious Julius II immediately announced the extortion of Toleni. Moreover, he strongly demanded that the Republic of Venice extradite this person to the Holy See for trial. Otherwise, the entire Venice would be extorted.
At the same time, Julius II sent a letter to the warfare and the two countries, informing them of the bad news of smallpox in the Kingdom of Naples, and urged them to temporarily cease the war and jointly resist the smallpox. Because the ceiling in the village of Chimons has spread out from the village. After all, the people in the village also have communication with the outside world.
The Holy See's punishment decision was passed to Venice, and the Venetian Republic was shocked. Because the Venetian authorities did not know about this matter at all.
At the same time, the Venetians were very dissatisfied with the Pope's overbearing demands. Because the Venetians did not take the Holy See seriously. In the eyes of the Venetians, the Pope was just one of the Italian states, so how could they have the right to order the Venetian government?
Therefore, the members of the Venetian Republic plan to reject the Holy See's request. After all, that was a governor.
However, what the Venetian parliamentarians did not expect was that Venetian citizens and merchants were on the side of the Holy See this time!
Why? The Republic of Venice is a commercial country, and the citizens do business in various parts of Europe. Smallpox explosions in other regions will also affect their business.
For example, the Kingdom of Naples is now spreading, and Venetian merchants dare not do business in Naples. In this way, how much profit will be lost...
Therefore, spreading smallpox not only threatened the lives of Venetian merchants, but also seriously affected the business of Venetian merchants.
Therefore, more than half of Venetian merchants jointly wrote a letter asking the Venetian government to severely punish Toleni, a kind of inhumane evil deed. Otherwise, the merchants would refuse to pay taxes again to resist the Venetian government's inaction and neglect of human life.
Soon, the Venetian officials compromised. It is true that they are senior officials of the Republic of Venice, but they were also elected by the Venetian merchants, not hereditary. Strictly speaking, the Venetian senior officials are just representatives of interests introduced by the Venetian merchant class. If they reject the demands of most of the merchants, not only will they not be able to collect taxes, but they will also lose the election in the next election.
In desperation, the Venetian official had to compromise. However, sending its governor to Rome for trial would have hurt the face of the Venetian Republic. Because Tolanie was sent to Rome for trial, it was likely that the end of being burned to death in public.
It is embarrassing that the governor of one country was burned to death by another country in public, even if it was the person of the European spiritual leader, the Pope.
However, Venice did not dare to disobey the public pressure...
In addition to the anger of the residents of Venice, other countries have also sent people to Venice to protest, because once smallpox spreads, the whole of Europe will be under great threat.
How powerful is smallpox? Just look at Haiti Island. When Columbus arrived at Haiti, there were 1 million Tylenol people on the island. But decades later, in 1544, due to the explosion of smallpox many times, no Indians on Haiti Island were gone and all died of smallpox.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! This is not the nonsense lie that later Americans deceived the whole world to say that North American Indians died of smallpox. The Indians in North America were killed by the United States. The Tylenol people on Haiti Island must have died of smallpox. Because there are 1 million Indians on the island, and the Spanish colonial army has a maximum of one or two thousand people. Even if they kill people every day, it is difficult to kill all one million Indians. Moreover, they also want Indians to be laborers!
The Spanish are different from the Americans. The Americans are white people who directly plunder the land of the Indians and legislate to reward the scalp of the Indians. Although the Spanish are cruel, they will not kill all the Indians because they have few people, and at most they will kill people to establish their authority. Therefore, the death of millions of Tylenol on the underwater island cannot be due to the massacre of Spanish colonists and the outbreak of smallpox is more reasonable.
Moreover, the Spanish colonization of Haiti was indeed the first time Indians came into contact with smallpox, so it was normal for them to lack immunity.
As for the Indians who boasted in the United States, most of the Indians who died of smallpox, it was purely nonsense. After all, hundreds of years have passed, and the Indians will be a little resistant to smallpox and will not be destroyed like the Taino people on Haiti Island.
Moreover, the Indians on Haiti Island and the Indians in North America are two different things. The Indians on Haiti Island live on a small island with an area of ​​only tens of thousands of square kilometers. The space is small and easy to be infected. In North America, the territory of the United States alone is more than 9 million square kilometers. How can the ceiling spread rapidly? If you want to spread ceiling, you must first contact with people. However, the North American Indians are backward in productivity, and there is no contact between tribes at all, and there is no basis for spreading ceiling.
Of course, Europe is not very different at this time, especially in the Mediterranean region. The maritime trade is developed here, and people have very frequent exchanges and trade. Once smallpox breaks out, even if Europeans have a certain resistance to it, they cannot withstand it. Only those who can overcome smallpox will not be afraid of smallpox. People who have no smallpox are still full of fear of smallpox.
What's more, Kang Mazi was able to become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty because he had smallpox and could live safely to adulthood, rather than being "wise and powerful". After all, how can children tell whether it is good or bad? Er Yuehe described Kang Mazi as a child as a smart person when she was a child, and was purely bragging for Kang Mazi. If you go to the kindergarten to see, you can see how many people were very good at it when they were young? This is pure nonsense! Of course, the Qing Dynasty historians also wrote this way, after all, if they don't write this way, they will easily be killed...
Therefore, Tolani's intentional spread of smallpox is indeed very bad in people's eyes. Because once smallpox spreads, it is not a few dozen or hundreds of people who die, but a count of tens of thousands. It is precisely because Venetian merchants and citizens and officials of various countries realize this, so they collectively put pressure on the Venetian officials and severely punish Tolani, so as not to have the same tragedy in the future...
Even France and Spain, which were fighting, sent envoys to Venice to protest and strongly demanded severe punishment of Tolani. After all, everyone is not stupid. If this matter is used on them, it will be very terrible...
