"And, as far as I know, the relationship between you and Mark Antony, Honorable Queen Cleopatra, is it probably not that long? Queen, the marriage between you and Anthony is well known, and it has only been two years since now. Even if Antony arrived in Egypt and stationed his legions here, it would have only been six or seven years now. In the past six or seven years, how much time has the queen spent dividing interests and cooperating with Anthony instead of cultivating relationships? ”

Appis observed that Cleopatra was not too dissatisfied, and continued to deepen the topic.

Then Cleopatra leaned slightly, picked up the grapes on the table, and took a bite.

"It looks like you're still very concerned about what's happening in Egypt."

As soon as the queen said this, Appis knew that it was basically done. Cleopatra had actually agreed to cooperate with her.

But this is also common sense, what kind of woman is Cleopatra? Cunning, greedy, and lustful for power trumps everything, how much true affection can she have for men? Poor Antony believed that Cleopatra married him because of some emotion and love. If a person's success depends on the combination of emotional intelligence and IQ, then what Anthony lacks is undoubtedly the half of emotional intelligence.

"I must be careful, because in this far east, there are beautiful women whom I dream of day and night."

The queen has acquiesced. Appis softened his tone, even with a hint of tiao.

Cleopatra then split her left and right, and she had something to say to the clever man in front of her.

"Tell me how you're going to help me through this."

"Queen, you know, what I have done in Gaul and Rome over the years, and the policy I have enacted, is nothing more than respect for talents, especially teachers and doctors. The best doctors in Rome are now in the city of Rome, they come from all countries, all nationalities, most of them are miracle doctors from the East, and I provide them with free accommodation and shop places, so that they can obtain economic benefits, and they enjoy the urban civilization of Rome. I consulted the best doctors in Rome before I left, and they told me that the plague on the Nile was caused by a polluted water source, as had happened in Egypt before. And, they told me, they have the power to control the plague. And I, to put it bluntly, am their master. They live in free houses, but they are owned by me, and they must obey me in order to continue to enjoy wealth and luxury city life. I can get them to come to Alexandria and help you, Queen, control the epidemic and finally eradicate it. In addition, I can also provide financial and material help. Come to think of it, the difference between me and Anthony is so huge, when the plague broke out, Anthony even asked you for military rations. ”

Appis spoke, boasting to himself. Cleopatra ignored him, but became interested in Appis's aid program.

In fact, Appis knew that he would succeed in this move. Because the stability of a country, the stability of the regime, depends on the people. If the Great Plague is left unresolved, it will threaten Cleopatra's rule over Egypt, and people will say that you are incompetent and inactive. When the situation has developed to a certain extent, a major riot is not far off.

Compared to his relationship with Antony, Apis knew that Cleopatra was most worried about this. Moreover, the defeat of the Battle of Apollonia in Greece has deprived Anthony of his former hegemony. As Apis said, public opinion is now increasingly tilting towards its side.

"Dear Queen, if you promise to cooperate with me, then this business must be carried out in secret."

Seeing that Cleopatra did not react, Apis continued.

"How did it go secretly, what are you worried about, Appis."

Cleopatra finally spoke, and she asked, staring at Appis.

"The legion, Anthony's legion in Alexandria. I heard that Mark Antony, before leaving Egypt, left two legions in Alexandria. This is the biggest threat to us. Once I come to your aid and your country, Anthony may not know the news, but the two legions that are stationed in Alexandria will be the first to get the news. At that time, Anthony came from the north to destroy our alliance, which I am afraid you and I do not want to see. ”

Appis said.

"It's not hard to solve. Although I cannot mobilize Antony's legions in Egypt, I can ask them to help build Egypt's public buildings, some roads and bridges, and they will still carry out such orders. Before you and your aid enter Alexandria, I will transfer this force out of Alexandria and build the Thebes Highway in Memphis. The military road was in disrepair and needed manpower to maintain it. ”

Faced with Appis' final request, Cleopatra answered.

The meeting went so smoothly that it was a bit of a surprise to Appis. At present, basically all the major issues have been resolved and negotiated at this meeting. This is how cooperation is possible, you and I want to use each other. It's just that Appis is looking at more long-term interests......

After Alexander's meeting, Apis stayed in the city, and Cleopatra did not lose her word, and she transferred Antony's Fifth and Fourteenth Corps under the pretext of building military roads and canals. Subsequently, the first convoy of medical teams and material aid from Rome docked in the harbor of Alexandria.

And the terrible plague that is taking place in Egypt is actually a virulent epidemic called "smallpox" in the post-secular world. Of course, with people's understanding of "smallpox" in this era, there is no way to treat and prevent it. But Apis was a "genius" in this regard. The cowpox vaccine, which only existed in the 18th century, was brought out early by Appis. So the doctors used the methods of the Church of Apis to vaccinate the first Egyptians against cowpox. Of course, this method initially aroused strong opposition from the public, and it was important to take pus from people infected with cowpox and inoculate them in healthy people. Although Appis knew that this was the most primitive vaccine. But with the understanding of knowledge in this era, it is simply unacceptable.

Even Cleopatra looked at the so-called treatment of the doctors of Appis with questioning.

"Your doctors are doing this in such a weird way that no one wants to do it. Even I doubt that it really works? ”

The medical team came, as did supplies and "live vaccines". But no one is willing to accept the prevention and treatment, which has become a headache at the moment.

"Practice the truth, Queen Cleopatra. I know you don't believe in this treatment, it's so weird, I don't want to believe it, but if you believe me, take it. If you don't feel safe, you can have your slaves do the experiment first, and if they die, I'll pay you the cost, and the medical team will be withdrawn to Rome. ”

Apis sat in Cleopatra's room, shrugged his shoulders, and said.

"That's not necessary, just a few slaves. But as you said, for people to buy into your plan, you have to have a real case. Well, I'll ask my men to call a few slaves and let you do the experiments. ”

Cleopatra was worried.

A few days later, the first doses of vaccinia were still healthy, and Cleopatra sent them to the hospital to care for those infected by the disease. No one was willing to take care of these patients. Now is a good time to put this approach to the test.

The result was a great surprise to Cleopatra and her eunuchs. These slaves, who cared for the plague patients, were not only uninfected, but also moved freely, and were healthy and strong. This proves that the treatment methods brought by the Roman doctors are effective. Surprised, Cleopatra could no longer control the ecstasy in her heart, and feasted the Roman dignitary from afar, Appis, with the highest standard of etiquette.

A great campaign of prevention and control is also rapidly unfolding throughout Egypt...... For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
