The cancellation of Gonzalo's excommunication can be described as some people are happy and some are worried. Spain, of course, is overjoyed. Because their most reliable commander-in-chief will not be forced to leave his post because of excommunication. Although it was humiliating to kneel in Rome for three days and three nights, Gonzalo himself didn't feel anything, and others couldn't say anything.

Even King Ferdinand II of Aragon, who had always been very difficult to deal with Gonzalo, was secretly happy. He always looked at Gonzalo unpleasantly, and always felt that the other party had stolen the limelight from his king, and he was still ambiguous with his wife Isabella I. Therefore, for Gonzalo's disgrace, Ferdinand II actually felt secretly happy. But Ferdinand II also had to admit that the Spanish army could not do without Gonzalo's command at the moment.

Therefore, regardless of the opinion of Gonzalo's kneeling penalty, the Spanish government and opposition are happy that Gonzalo can cancel the excommunication. Except, of course, those French spies lurking in Spain.

On the other hand, the French were very annoyed that Gonzalo had been excommunicated. Because, their plan to take advantage of Gonzalo's absence in the commander's position to recapture the Kingdom of Naples went bankrupt before it even began.

In fact, they did consider scaring the English at Calais Fortress by projecting smallpox patients' clothing blankets. It's a big deal, it's time to repent. But Julius II "patched" in time and broke off their thoughts.

Of course, Charles, Count of Nantes, also considered finding a substitute for the dead, carrying out this plan, and then sacrificing this substitute.

However, this substitute is too hard to find. Because, the person who is qualified to be the commander of the French army must at least be an earl. Using a person with a low-level title to temporarily serve as a coach, other countries don't believe it at first glance. But who would want to sacrifice himself for the sake of a mere Calais fortress? Therefore, this can only be an assumption.

And Gonzalo, although he is also a count, he is different. Gonzalo was not the heir to the family because he was not the eldest son. And he did not marry and have children, and his title was inherited. So, he can not care about face. Anyway, after his death, he was extinct. Therefore, Gonzalo could kneel calmly at the door of the Lateran Hall and humbly repent. For the sake of Spain, it is possible to disregard face.

But the general earl is different, the general earl is dragged down by the family, and needs to take care of the family face and family inheritance. So, no one can afford it. And those who are open-minded are often only those who have nothing. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as "those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes".

Moreover, the English are not stupid either. After receiving Marin's reminder, Edward rushed to all parts of England to select and forcibly recruit 3,000 strong men who had survived smallpox, and organized them into an army to serve as the defenders of the fortress of Calais.

To be honest, 3,000 soldiers is a bit less, but Edward can't help it. Because of its distance from the European continent, the spread of the plague in England was not as severe as it was on the European continent. It's good to be able to find 3,000 strong men who have had smallpox.

And the Calais fortress was originally very strong, 3,000 strong men, no matter how much it dropped, it could be held for a long time. What's more, there is the full support of England itself.

However, there was also some drumming in the hearts of the English - what if the French did that? Once smallpox broke out in the city, only the 3,000 strong men would be used. They are not professional soldiers, they can only be regarded as new soldiers, and I don't know if they can withstand the siege of the French......

To this question, in the end, it was the little Caesar who gave the answer - there was no need to worry about the French taking Calais with smallpox propagation!

Why? Caesar's reason was simple and straightforward - if smallpox broke out in Calais, ordinary French soldiers would not dare to approach it! They are also life-saving! Only those who had smallpox would dare to approach and lay siege to the fortress of Calais!

Even if France has more strongmen with smallpox than England, there is no guarantee that there will be many, and more than 10,000 people can be mobilized. But these people may not be elite veterans, if they are recruited from the common people, what is the difference between them and the English strong men in the city? Everyone is a new recruit, and the strong men of England can still have an advantage relying on the walls of the Calais fortress......

Marin suddenly realized - yes, smallpox is so terrible that if smallpox really broke out in Calais Fortress, normal French knights who had never had smallpox would not dare to approach! Didn't you look at Gonzalo's threat, and those French knights were intimidated? If you change to an ordinary strong man who has survived smallpox to attack the city, facing the tall city wall, it is really helpless......

I also think too much, and I might as well think about it as a child like Caesar......

Marin informed Edward of Caesar's opinion in the form of a pigeon passenger, and Edward was relieved and let go of his worries.

Of course, there are still hidden dangers here. Therefore, if you really want to solve the problem completely, you still have to rely on the cowpox method......

……

On Whangog Island, the easternmost island of the Eastern Frisian archipelago, observations of cowpox cultivation by 30 death row inmates have come out.

30 death row inmates were planted with cowpox in batches. It turned out that two of the six people in the first batch of six people who planted cowpox died, and one died in the second batch. But in the next few batches, not a single one died.

In other words, if you take cowpox from smallpox-infected cows, the closer to the time when the cow is cured, the safer it is. Because, the later it is, the stronger the resistance to smallpox in the cow. The safer it is to collect such a cowpox seed on a person's arm.

Moreover, it has something to do with the cattle themselves. The stronger the cow, the better the effect after the cowpox on the body is transplanted. For example, the eight strong bulls that were exposed to the smallpox virus and had difficulty getting sick also recovered the fastest after being forcibly infected. The cowpox collected from them is also very effective.

As a result, Hans, the leader of the cowpox research team, wrote a long report on the results of the study.

According to the report, it is safest to collect cowpox from cattle when smallpox begins to scab over. Collecting cowpox when the body is full of pus is dangerous. For example, the three people who died during the experiment were all collected and transplanted from cowpox before they had scabbed over in the early days. If the smallpox-infected cattle start to scab over, it is very effective to collect the meat from the scabbed area. Moreover, the security is also high.

Then, Dr. Hans also applied that the cowpox from the eight strongest cows be used to sow the Malin family......

Marin happily went and took his whole family, as well as Felice and Felis's children, including Liver Fu Mizuko and Liver Fu Nobunaga, who were raised outside the palace, to Harle, the northernmost fishing village in the northern Whangelan region, opposite Whangog Island, and waited for the cowpox to be delivered from the other side......

Soon, several doctors in white coats and holding glass containers, wearing masks, landed in the fishing village of Harle on a special fishing boat, and quickly planted cowpox for the Marin family.

After planting the cowpox, Marin did not leave immediately, but stayed in a local fishing village and waited for a slight reaction......
