Sure enough, after smallpox spread to the Kingdom of Naples, it did not have time to reach the Spanish army camps, but first spread to the Papal States.

Why so? Because there was a fishing boat in that small fishing village that landed in the port outside Rome to buy supplies while it was out to sea. When the fishermen on board set out from the fishing village, they did not notice smallpox because it was lurking. The smallpox incubation period lasted for more than ten days, and the fisherman was infected with the smallpox virus by a "mysterious person" from the village without realizing it, and then went out to sea to fish. Ten days later, the fishing boat approached the waters near Rome. So, out of the need for life, fishing boats docked, and 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 boasted about the cattle for an afternoon......

The problem is that when they purchased supplies, they had short contact with people, but they did not infect people with smallpox virus. But in the tavern, followed by a group of drunkards next to the table, when they were happy, they hugged a ...... Then, the tavern became a virus-stricken area......

When smallpox broke out in the harbor area outside the city of Rome, Pope Julius II, who was in Rome, was almost scared to death - Nima, smallpox actually spread to the headquarters of the Holy See!

Fortunately, under the influence of his son-in-law Marin, Julius II knew how to deal with the disease. As a result, the Pope ordered martial law throughout the city. At the same time, all the clergy who had survived smallpox were mobilized from all over the country to assemble 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 protective clothing and masks.

Not only that, but 7,000 mercenaries from the North Sea Kingdom were also ordered to carry bags and sprinkle quicklime in the streets and alleys of the city of Rome to disinfect them.

As for the food supply for the people in each region, Pope Julius II ordered 87 middle-aged and elderly people who had contracted smallpox to push small carts every day to deliver food to various residential areas. When they returned, they had to change their clothes and take a shower as soon as possible, so as not to spread the smallpox virus.

After selecting 66 mercenaries from the army who had contracted smallpox as children, Julius II sent them to cordon off the docks and begin to trace the source of smallpox.

With the help of highly skilled spies from the North Sea Kingdom, Julius II finally tracked down the small fishing village of Chimons in Naples and captured several Dalmatian smallpox patients living in seclusion outside the village.

By this time, two of the six smallpox patients sent by Dalmatia had died, and two others were afraid that they would not survive. However, two young people were probably in good health and managed to survive. Although there were pockmarks on his face, he survived in the end. Moreover, there is no need to worry about smallpox in the future.

The people of the Holy See seized the four people who were not dead, tortured them, and soon learned the truth.

Although Toleni's intention was to deal with the Spaniards, the incident endangered the Papal States and made Julius II furious!

Enraged, Julius II immediately announced the excommunication of Toleni. Moreover, the Republic of Venice is strongly requested to extradite this person to the Holy See for trial. Otherwise, the whole of Venice will be excommunicated.

At the same time, Julius II sent a letter to France and Spain, informing them of the smallpox outbreak in the Kingdom of Naples and urging them to suspend the war and fight against smallpox. Because, the smallpox in the village of Chimons has spread from the village to the outside. After all, people in the village also communicate with the outside world.

When the Holy See's decision to punish reached Venice, the whole Venetian Republic was stunned. Because, the Venetian authorities did not know about this at all.

At the same time, the Venetians were very dissatisfied with the overbearing demands of the pope. Because, the Venetians do not take the Holy See seriously. In the eyes of the Venetians, the Papal States were just one of the Italian states, so how could they have the right to order the Venetian authorities?

Therefore, the parliamentarians of the Republic of Venice intend to reject the request of the Holy See. After all, that's a governor.

However, what the Venetian parliamentarians did not expect was that the citizens and merchants of Venice were on the side of the Holy See this time!

Why? The Republic of Venice was a commercial country, and its citizens did business all over Europe. Outbreaks of smallpox in other areas will also affect their business.

For example, now that smallpox is beginning to spread in the Kingdom of Naples, Venetian merchants are afraid to do business in Naples. In this case, how much profit will be lost......

Therefore, the spread of smallpox not only threatened the lives of Venetian merchants, but also seriously affected the business of Venetian merchants.

As a result, more than half of the Venetian merchants signed a letter asking the Venetian authorities to severely punish Toleni for his dehumanizing crimes. Otherwise, the merchants would have refused to pay any more taxes in order to resist official Venetian inaction and disregard for human life.

Soon, the Venetian authorities compromised. It is true that they are the top of the Venetian Republic, but they are also elected by the Venetian merchants, and they are not hereditary. Strictly speaking, the upper echelons of Venice were nothing more than representatives of the interests of the Venetian merchant class. If they refuse the demands of most of the businessmen, not only will they not receive taxes, but they will also lose the next election.

In desperation, the Venice official could only compromise. However, sending the governor of his country to Rome for trial would be too disgraceful to the face of the Republic of Venice. Because, when Toleni was sent to Rome to stand trial, it was likely that he was burned in public.

It is humiliating for the governor of one country to be burned in public by another, even if it is the person of the Pope, the spiritual leader of Europe.

However, Venice did not dare to disobey the pressure of public opinion......

In addition to the anger of Venice's own residents, other countries also sent people to Venice to protest. Because, once smallpox spreads, the whole of Europe will be greatly threatened.

How bad is smallpox? Just look at the island of Haiti. When Columbus arrived on the island of Haiti, there were 1 million Taíno on the island. But decades later, in 1544, due to multiple outbreaks of smallpox, not a single Indian on the island of Haiti was left, and all died of smallpox.

This is not the nonsense lie that Lao Mei fooled the world in later generations that the North American Indians died of smallpox, and the North American Indians were killed by Lao Mei. The Taíno people on the island of Haiti, on the other hand, must have died of smallpox. Because, there were 1 million Indians on the island, and the Spanish colonial army was at most one or two thousand. Even if they killed people every day, killing a million Indians, it would be difficult. And they also want Indians as laborers!

The Spaniards were different from Lao Mei, who was a white man who directly plundered the land of the Indians and legislated to reward the scalping of the Indians. Although the Spaniards were very brutal, because of the small number of people, they did not kill all the Indians, and at most killed people. Therefore, the death of millions of Tylenol people on the submarine island could not be due to the massacre of the Spanish colonists, and the outbreak of smallpox is more plausible.

Moreover, the Spanish colonization of the island of Haiti was indeed the first time that the Indians were exposed to smallpox, and it was normal for them to lack immunity.

As for the fact that most of the Indians boasted by Lao Mei died of smallpox, it is pure nonsense, after all, hundreds of years have passed, how can the Indians be a little resistant to smallpox, and they will not be wiped out like the Taíno people on the island of Haiti.

Moreover, the Indians on the island of Haiti and the North American Indians are two different things. The Indians on the island of Haiti, millions of people live on small islands with an area of only a few tens of thousands of square kilometers, and the space is so small that it is easy to get infected with them all. And in that part of North America, the territory of Laomei alone is more than 9 million square kilometers, how to make smallpox spread quickly? In order to spread smallpox, people must first have contact with each other. The North American Indians, on the other hand, were less productive and had little contact with each other, and there was no basis for the spread of smallpox.

Of course, Europe is not the same at this time, especially in the Mediterranean. Maritime trade is well developed here, and people interact and trade with each other very frequently. Once smallpox broke out, even if the Europeans had some resistance to it, they would not be able to resist it. Only those who have had smallpox will not be afraid of smallpox. People who have never had smallpox are still afraid of smallpox.

What's more, Kang Mazi was able to become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty because he had smallpox and could live to adulthood safely, not because he was "wise and martial". After all, where can a child see good or bad. Februaryhe described Kang Mazi as smart when he was a child in "Kangxi Dynasty", which was purely for Kang Mazi to brag about. If you go to the kindergarten and take a look, can you see how many people are very good when they are young? This is! Of course, the Qing Dynasty historians also wrote like this, after all, if people don't write like this, they will be easily killed......

Therefore, Toleni's deliberate spread of smallpox was, in the eyes of the people, very bad in nature. Because, once smallpox spreads, it will not be tens or hundreds of people who will die, but tens of thousands. It was precisely because the Venetian merchant citizens and the officials of various countries were aware of this that they collectively put pressure on the Venetian officials to severely punish Toleni so that the same tragedy would not happen in the future......

Even France and Spain, which were at war, sent emissaries to Venice to protest and strongly demand that Toleni be punished severely. After all, everyone is not stupid, and it would be very scary if this thing was used on oneself......

And Pope Julius II, the spiritual leader of Europe, did not want to see this happen again. Therefore, he must make an example of the monkey so that this bad thing does not happen again......
