Chapter 351: Bringing Medicine to the Road (83/104)
Not to be outdone, Eugen was no longer confined to the Po River Defence, but was gradually being transported to all other large cities.
There is a cost price charged for each potion supplied, but the gold coins are temporarily paid for by the Holy See, so the potions are shipped out completely free of charge.
Wherever the Black Death appeared, the body of the patient who died due to the Black Death was burned with fire, and then the medicine was dropped on the place where he lived and everyone he came into contact with.
In this way, the possibility of secondary transmission of the Black Death was completely blocked, and the Black Death germs that had infiltrated the interior were continuously eliminated.
This massive anti-disaster campaign lasted for a whole month, with the Po River defense line as the main line, and corresponding clearance operations were carried out in various inland areas.
However, it is strange to say that the countries surrounding the Holy Roman Empire have no signs of the Black Death, which makes the surrounding countries maintain their full strength, standing aside and watching the Holy Roman Empire in dire straits, while secretly laughing.
The Holy Roman Empire experienced wars and diseases, and its own strength was greatly reduced, and several neighboring countries, especially the French Empire, were once again ready to move.
In late April, Eugen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and with the efforts of all the personnel of the anti-disaster army, the disease situation on the Po River defense line was finally under control.
From Venice to Verona, there have been three full days without a new case, which is definitely a milestone victory.
Dr. Nobel's anti-disease agent worked so hard that the Black Death bacteria were killed, the secondary transmission route was completely cut off, and the number of cases decreased every day.
The entire city of Verona was also shrouded in white smoke in these days, like a city in the clouds, and the name of Dr. Nobel was accompanied by this potion, which spread to every corner of the Holy Roman Empire.
Of course, in the same way, Eugen's deeds were once again sung, and people said that Eugen was the savior of the Empire, and he did not know that he saved His Majesty the Emperor Charles VI, and also saved the ordinary civilians in the Empire.
For a time, Eugen's prestige reached its peak, even surpassing the prestige of several major dukes, approaching Charles VI and the Pope, who were at the top of the empire.
The fight against the Black Death was a great victory, and no one could erase it.
At the same time, Eugen also took care of some personal matters, and Owen, who had brought back from Heidelberg, was assigned to Corleone and joined the Dragon's Army.
These days, Corleone himself is also looking for suitable candidates everywhere, let them join the Dragon Hidden Army and then conduct unified training.
By the time Owen joined, there were only five people in the Dragon Hidden Army, and Owen was the sixth, and in order to meet the standards required by Eugen, Corleone had extremely high requirements for the Dragon Hidden Army.
In this way, although the number of this team is small, the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and by this time, it has been able to complete some of the tasks assigned by Eugen.
Seeing that the Dragon Hidden Army was almost formed, Eugen also directly issued the first order, as the strongest 'blade' under Eugen, the first order Eugen gave them was not to kill, but to find someone.
Their mission was to take the anti-disease medicine from Venice by boat, go deep into the disease-stricken areas south of the Po River defense, and go directly to Sicily, where they would find Rambo's whereabouts.
Rambo was trapped in Sicily because of Eugen's orders, and then lost contact with Eugen, which is now completely ravaged by the Black Death, and Eugen knows that Rambo's chances of survival are very slim, but anyway, he still wants to make sure.
Corleone is naturally obliged to take this task, not to mention that this is an order given to him by Eugen, even if the friendship between him and Rambo alone should be taken by him.
So after everything was ready, Corleone finally boarded the ship with the Dragon's Hidden Army and headed for Sicily, which was shrouded in the shadow of the Black Death.
On the other hand, Eugen also had a conversation with Father Martin Luther and asked him about his current job.
It turns out that Father Luther has already finished writing the Book of Salvation, and what he is doing now is not writing the book, but translating the Bible.
On the entire European continent, only the Holy See has the original Latin version of the Bible, and the Holy See itself has a complete monopoly on the interpretation of the Bible.
It is precisely because of this that the Holy See is able to use the Bible to control the faithful, and they hold the Bible as if they hold the key to heaven, and anyone who wants to enter heaven after death must do so through the guidance of a priest.
If a rich man wants to ascend to heaven after his death, the priest can ask him to give all his wealth to the Holy See before he can gain access to heaven.
By this means, the Holy See amassed a great deal of wealth.
All Father Martin Luther had to do was translate the Bible and write a German version of the Bible that everyone could easily understand.
It is no wonder that Modessal wanted to warn Eugen about this, Father Luther's move had completely touched the most sensitive nerves of the behemoth of the Holy See.
Moreover, Father Luther boldly proposed: "Anyone who believes in God can ascend to heaven and become a citizen of God, without going through any Holy See or any priest." ”
Such remarks at any time would be a great disrespect to the Holy See, which of course could not allow them to do so.
However, after listening to Father Luther's narration, Eugen just smiled and said: "Haha, don't worry, you do it boldly, I will help you withstand all the pressure, you will move to my city of Lebor in a few days, with me, no one can touch you." ”
To this day, Eugen is qualified to say that neither the Pope nor Emperor Charles VI can act against Eugen at this time.
With the merits accumulated in the fight against the Black Death, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as Eugen raised his arms, the ordinary people of the entire empire would respond to his call.
Although these people are just a rabble after all, after all, there are many of them, and as long as the quantity of anything reaches a certain level, a qualitative change will occur.
What's more, Eugen has the support of the royal family behind him, as well as the support of most of the nobles, and even in the Holy See, Modesal is biased towards Eugen.
Eugen's assurance, Father Luther was naturally ecstatic, in fact, his Bible had almost been translated, and the next most important thing was to print it.
With the latest printing technology, this is not too much of a problem at all, and the key is to have someone to support it.
It just so happened that Eugen was able to give him the support he wanted most.
