Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 518

[Chapter 518 Vaccination]

“Smallpox?” On the

hot air balloon, the team standing in the middle frowned.

He has the highest position and can read some words.

“Maybe it’s just a coincidence,” said a soldier.

He didn’t believe that these slaves knew how to read, and could even form two characters on purpose.

“Whether it’s a coincidence or not, this news must be reported.” The soldier on the right stared at the camp and found Beidi archers bending their bows and setting arrows. He pointed.

Seeing this, the team immediately ordered them to sprinkle toner on the brazier.

Flames shot up, hot air balloons kept rising, and they stared at the flag, at different heights and in the usual directions.

When the tail of the flag is pointing east, maintain the altitude.

After a while, they saw the warship moored at sea.

The battleship of the Black Shark pirates is more than 50 meters long and about 18 meters wide.

The front deck has a very spacious place, enough for them to lift off from the battleship.

It’s just easy to go up, but not easy to come down.

But for the dissemination of leaflets this time, King Yan made up his mind.

Even if the hot air balloon is damaged, it is not hesitating. After all, it does not cost much money to make a hot air balloon.

Along the way, eight hot air balloons were lifted into the air, but three fell into the sea.

However, there were no casualties among the soldiers on the hot air balloon.

Soldiers on the battleship rescued them in time.

“Lower the altitude and prepare to drop the rope.” The battleship was getting closer and lower, and the team was shouting.

The two soldiers immediately cheered up and stared at the battleship.

Just as the hot air balloon flew over the battleship, the soldiers threw down the long rope.

Soldiers were already waiting on the deck.

Leaping on the rope, they pulled hard, stopping the balloon from continuing its flight.

Seeing that the rope was pulled, the soldiers on the hot air balloon breathed a sigh of relief.

They extinguished the flames in the brazier, and slowly landed under the pull of the soldiers.

In this matter, on the opposite side of the battleship, Beidi soldiers who came chasing the hot air balloon could only look at the sea unwillingly, helpless.

When the hot air balloon landed, the sails of the battleship were raised, and the battleship slowly headed south.

three days later.

The news detected by the balloon soldiers was sent to the palace.

“Smallpox?” After Tsui Hark told Zhao Xu about the hot air balloon soldier’s discovery.

Zhao Xu frowned immediately.

“Your Highness, could this be a coincidence?” Tsui Hark felt that this matter was a bit absurd.

In his cognition, smallpox is extremely scary.

Often, if one person in the village gets it, the people in the village will basically die.

Therefore, if the news conveyed by the slaves in the Beidi camp is true.

Then Timotara’s carriage is a smallpox patient.

But in this way, Beidi is not afraid of playing with fire and setting himself on fire. Will smallpox spread among the Beidi army?

“It’s better to believe in something than in nothing.” Zhao Xu said in a deep voice.

In contemporary history, such a thing has not happened.

During the Han Dynasty, this very vicious method was adopted in the war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu.

At that time, the Huns threw diseased livestock into the water source on the marching road of the Han army, which caused a large number of Han soldiers to fall ill and die.

What’s more, there is currently a missionary from the country of Ross in the Beidi Army.

In the Age of Discovery, what Westerners were best at was genocide.

In order to eliminate the natives, they took all available methods.

Including donating the clothes and bedding of smallpox patients to the aborigines.

This led to the death of the entire tribe, the entire tribe.

After all, Bei Di, like Da Song, doesn’t know much about smallpox.

Therefore, he did not believe that Beidi would take this approach rashly.

Unless someone guides them, show them a safe way.

“Your Highness, if this is the case, you will be in trouble.” Seeing King Yan’s solemn expression, he suddenly became nervous.

If Beidi really spread smallpox to Yanzhou, there will be big problems next.

Even the whole Dasong will suffer.

Because as long as the goal is not achieved, Beidi will continue to throw poison sources over.

Even if they isolate the sick soldiers, there will be soldiers who will continue to be infected.

Thinking of this, he felt a complete chill for the first time in his life, “Bei Di, this is really a tribute to my death.”

Zhao Xu’s attitude has not changed from beginning to end.

It wasn’t that he was indifferent, but that he was extremely angry.

In his eyes, Beidi people are no longer human beings, but despicable and shameless beasts.

Like the Western countries in the Age of Discovery, what they did for their own selfishness was to destroy humanity, that is, to exterminate a race.

Of course, Zhao Xu never had hope for Beidi and the western countries of this era.

The jungles of the world are so cruel.

Either you die, or I die.

Looking up at Xu Ke, who was dripping with cold sweat, he said, “You don’t have to be so nervous, Beidi has this method, and this king has a way to solve

it .”

He is Zhao Xu, not only the Ninth Prince, but also the soul from the present age.

If they implement this plan in another place, maybe it will be successful.

But they chose Yanzhou.

“Your Highness has a solution?”

Xu Ke couldn’t help being taken aback, and looked at Zhao Xu with reverence in his eyes.

Smallpox, but even the imperial physician was helpless.

Unexpectedly, their King Yan knew not only various skills, but also medical skills.

“Don’t get too excited, although there is a solution, it still depends on the cooperation of the government and the royal army, otherwise, Yanguan is in danger.” Zhao Xu said seriously.

Smallpox has been famous since ancient times, known as the first plague, and there is no way to cure it.

Even modern medicine can do little more than reduce mortality.

The most fundamental way to resist it is a vaccine.

In modern times, smallpox was not officially eliminated until the whole world was basically vaccinated against vaccinia.

Therefore, once Beidi really spread smallpox to Yanguan.

With the current medical conditions, there is no way for him to heal.

Now, the only way he can crack Beidi’s poisonous plan is to vaccinate the royal family’s troops with cowpox.

Otherwise, once the soldiers at Yanguan were infected, he could only ruthlessly seal the pass, isolate the infected soldiers, and watch his soldiers die slowly.

And that’s something he absolutely didn’t want to see.

“Go, call Liu Fu, and then have someone call Chang Wei back.” Zhao Xu said.

During this time, Chang Wei has been patrolling between the Bastion and Yanguan to guard against Beidi’s attack.

He would not have thought that the war that Beidi might be brewing was something he had never seen before, and he would not be able to deal with it.

In response, Tsui Hark ran out as fast as he could.

After getting on the horse, he went straight to the government office.

After Tsui Hark left, he began to think about what to do next.

The first thing to do is to find cows with cowpox.

In memory, contemporary humans started to restrain smallpox as a milker.

Because the milkers at that time needed to milk the milk by hand, they would be infected with cowpox when they came into contact with cows suffering from cowpox.

At this time, a doctor discovered that milkers who had been infected with cowpox were also immune to smallpox.

So, the doctor did an experiment, found a young man to infect him with cowpox, and then exposed him to smallpox. The boy was indeed immune to smallpox.

Due to the infection of cowpox, humans will only have a mild reaction, so the ancient vaccine of vaccination was born.
