Sixty-eight, cats don't have to cross
Under the brilliant scorching sun, in front of the pyramid of Port Hope, thousands of residents lined up in a long line, slowly moving forward, with no end in sight.
The citizens had been informed a day before that the powerful "men of God" were going to bestow "divine graces" on the people of the city today, wishing them to be free from illness. In addition, it is also a means of warding off the "white-skinned devils" who, according to the "men of the gods", are the most cunning of all, and like to distribute cursed blankets and clothes everywhere. If anyone takes their blankets and clothes for a small gain, he will inevitably be cursed, infected with the plague, and die a miserable death covered in rotting pus......
In order to prevent the people who follow them from suffering this catastrophe, the benevolent "men of God" have sent blessings to keep the citizens of Hope Harbor away from this catastrophe.
Therefore, according to the instructions of the nobles and elders, in order to show their piety, respect and gratitude for the "divine men", they have carefully bathed themselves with soap or soap before they come here to line up to receive the "divine grace", and some rich people have specially sprayed perfume and smoked incense. Even the lowliest slaves were driven into the creek, where they were given a bar of soap for every ten people, and washed for half a day (in fact, for disinfection).
In the makeshift pergola at the front of the procession, five emergency cameo doctors and dozens of improvised indigenous nurses, wearing white cotton coats emblazoned with red crosses, grabbed the arms of citizens one by one and injected them with vaccines.
Here, instead of a conventional glass syringe, a pistol-type needleless syringe is used for vaccination.
It should be noted that none of the travelers were medically trained and had no proper nursing training, let alone the indigenous nurses they brought out. Not to mention whether you can't find the right injection location, will it make the vaccinated person jump in pain, and it may even prick the nerves and arteries and other places that can't be punctured, and if you don't get it right, the needle will break in the skin, causing endless trouble.
So, for the sake of safety, Professor Yang got a pistol-shaped needleless syringe from the strategic material reserve -- a Chinese knock-off that imitates the US military's new type of individual field ambulance equipment. At its front end includes a replaceable syringe for easy adjustment of the dose of injection. There is also a disposable nozzle that can be mounted on a bracket and extends outward from the front end of the syringe and can be removed and discarded after use. In this way, by replacing the syringe barrel and nozzle, the syringe gun can be reused over and over again, rather than being scrapped after just one use.
There are three types of vaccines administered to the population at Port Hope: smallpox vaccine, BCG vaccine, and yellow fever vaccine for tropical areas. If it is a newborn infant, add diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis preparations for the prevention and treatment of whooping cough.
The above vaccines are the most widely used varieties of modern shijie, and they are so mature that they can no longer be matured, and they have been tested by extensive practice by at least one billion people in another time and space, and they should be considered very guaranteed in terms of safety.
By the way, the dozens of people left in the Aztec legation after the plague, after witnessing the power of the "godmen", also came to join in the excitement and get vaccinated, and at the same time held an official audience ceremony, offering gifts from Montezuma II - a golden disk in the shape of a sun with a diameter of more than half a meter, a larger and brightly colored moon-shaped silver plate, and a gorgeous helmet decorated with small gold nuggets. Elaborate and lifelike hollow gold chicks, gold statues of dogs, monkeys, deer and jaguars, exquisite necklaces of gold, silver and precious stones, cups and plates, bows and arrows, scepters and much more in gold and silver. β¦,
-- Since it had long been known that the "men of God" in Hope Port liked gold and silver, all the gifts of the Aztec Empire were mainly gold and silver products.
So many colorful and shiny real money and silver made the traversers, who were originally just small citizens, almost dazzled for a while, but for some reason they felt a little familiar...... Later, Wang Qiu took the time to flip through the "History of the Conquest of Mexico" written by the Spaniards, and found that the above-mentioned gold and silver products were clearly the gift that Montezuma II in history "should" give to CortΓ©s!
However, these gold and silver products are now being delivered to their own people...... So what did Montezuma of this plane send to Cortez? Could it be that no gold or silver was given, or that two gifts were prepared exactly the same?
However, this kind of innocuous doubt, just a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning, was quickly left behind by Wang Qiu, who was busy with everything.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In addition, as for how to more effectively prevent and control the Black Death suspected to be brought by a European expedition, Captain Cai Rong, who has been lacking a sense of presence since she fell ill with a high fever after a cool breeze blew on the shore of Lake Texcoco last time, also put forward a very constructive and enlightening work proposal this time.
ββ¦β¦ As we all know, the Black Death was mainly transmitted by rats, and the first source of the outbreak of the Black Death in Central America was probably European rats that ran down from Spanish exploration ships! In order to deal with mice, we must have cats! β
Head Cai Rong straightened up her flat chest without a bulge and announced loudly with a terrific expression, "...... It's just that the Indians don't have cats, so let's help this side with a group of cute cats! For example, tiger cats, Xibei cats, blue cats, hellcats, etc., ......"
β¦β¦ Hey, is there something strange mixed in? Leader, you can't maliciously sell cuteness in disregard of the occasion like this!
Wang Qiu couldn't help but roll his eyes, and silently complained in his heart.
Although the cats are cute and traditionally good at catching rats, they should be very popular with Native American women if they are introduced on a large scale. But after some discussion, the traversers also vetoed the whimsical "aid cat jihua" of the group leader.
-- Modern domestic cats originated in Africa and were first tamed by the ancient Egyptians, so before Columbus crossed the Atlantic, cats that were not good swimmers existed only in the Old World. So, in Mesoamerica at the beginning of the 16th century, it was true that there were only mice and no cats. But rats are not without natural predators in the Americas, because there are many owls here, each owl can eat an average of 1,000 mice a year, and the ability to catch rats is not much worse than that of cats.
Moreover, the pet cats that have been pampered since childhood and fed with milk, canned cat food and vitamin nutrition pills have long been greatly degraded in their ability to catch rats, and it is estimated that the combat effectiveness of the children of the Eight Banners of the late Qing Dynasty is comparable to that of the children of the Eight Banners of the late Qing Dynasty. Even stray cats that are self-reliant in the city are probably more skilled at digging through garbage heaps than at catching mice......
What's more, just as the travelers did not dare to introduce pigs, cows, sheep and other large livestock to Hope Port before, even the relatively "clean" cats in the pet store may have a lot of modern Shijie bacteria, viruses and parasites on their bodies. If you get them among the Indians of this plane, I'm afraid that these cats will already start to create a plague before they start catching mice--don't you see those pet owners in modern Shijie, who are often scratched and infected by their own cats and dogs, and thus suffer from some strange parasitic diseases?
In short, cats don't have to cross, it's better to stay in modern times and sell cute cat food to eat!
With the gradual completion of all preparations, the day of the expeditionary force's departure is gradually approaching.
In late July 1519, the future prince of the kingdom of Honshutizgan, the Venerable "Archangel" Wendehei, led an army of 7,000 Hongshutizgan troops from Port Hope under the guidance of the Aztec Empire's envoy Kuohetmok, and embarked on a second journey to the Valley of Mexico.
-- Unlike last year's first peace visit, this time the expeditionary force of the Kingdom of Hungshutizgan is likely to be at war!
Of course, this secret is still known to a very small number of people for the time being.
On the surface, he was still only going to negotiate peace with the Aztecs this time
