Chapter 136 Smallpox

What has Ma Gui done for smallpox?

In other words, it should be something Chen Mu did to defeat smallpox.

Smallpox is Chen Mu's name. In this era, people generally call this infectious disease acne poison. A person will only suffer from smallpox once in his life.

The first test they experienced by these people trained on Kuwu Island is acne and human acne.

Human acne is not cowpox, but limited to technical level. Even though there were good doctors from all over the country gathered at Kuwu Island at that time, the levels of acne cultivation were still uneven, and the quality of acne powder in each batch was different. It would be great if there were eight of ten people who could not get any trouble.

The remaining people who fail to vaccinate will suffer from smallpox due to vaccination, and 30% of these poor-lucked people will die because of this.

Those who are not dead will also leave a stingy face due to illness.

Since Ningguo Mansion had a method to breed acne, this preventive measure has swept the world over several years, but people usually only feed acne for children, but adults do not.

In the Ming Dynasty, the threats caused by vaccination to people were not only 20% to 30% of the failure rate and 30% of the mortality rate after failure, but also the catastrophe caused by the loss of smallpox and family's labor force.

A family or even a family may be ruined.

On Kuwu Island, Chen Mu drew big cakes for them. The desire for wealth and land made them not afraid of life and death to cultivate acne, and the earliest reduction of employees began at that time.

All those who survived are not afraid of smallpox or at all.

Not only are they not afraid of smallpox, they also have sufficient means to prevent smallpox and treat smallpox.

When Hulan and his Mongolian cavalry returned from the south, riding the Andalusian horses as trophy, they saw hundreds of indigenous people on the sea looking at the large ships moored on the sea in a state of seeing gods.

Of course, there were also places where it was supposed to be a camp, and the black smoke was rising into the sky.

"It seems that the battle has been finished."

Hulan raised his hand and rubbed the bright mane of the war horse under his seat. He rode a horse and led a horse. The two horses' saddles were full of spoils like damaged cavalry armor and intact weapons.

There were not many trophys, and not everyone in the Spanish cavalry had armor, but each of them had horses. Except for one horse that was shot blinded and half-destroyed, the other four horses were all fine.

The price they paid was equally huge. A Mongolian war horse was killed and the rider on the horse was injured when he fell.

Hulan, who boarded the boat again, immediately approached Magui and asked the general officer: "What's wrong with the Ya Nian people below?"

In this era, everyone in the world had a very one-sided understanding of Native Americans. For example, Hulan stubbornly believed that people from Mongolia, Jurchens, Korea, and Japan had huge and vast land, so all the natives from Majiagang to this North Asia should be Ya Nian people.

Ma Gui was discussing with Ma Jin to name the place. He asked his brother where Zheng Tu, the hometown of Guanxi, was located in Water Margin, and got the answer to "Zhuangyuan Bridge".

It’s just like a child’s play. The west coast of North America is close to San Francisco. The Ming Dynasty’s nautical chart was first named Zhuangyuan Bridge.

Moreover, on this chart, a large area of ​​land called Zhuangyuan Bridge also reads the label: Local leader, Zheng Tu, Zhenguanxi.

"I'm back, are there any casualties in my subordinates?"

Hulan nodded and said, "A Western-style cavalry was captured. One of our horses was killed and the rider was injured. He had to be kept for two or three months, which was fine - why is this?"

Hulan said as he pointed at the indigenous people on the beach who seemed to be seeing off. Some of them were wearing Ming army armor, and some were holding the big banner of the rumoring moon, standing among the indigenous people wearing feather crowns.

"Someone sent smallpox and was sent to the cabin of a small boat by Ma." Ma Gui said as if he was talking about something insignificant: "And his children were also taken to the boat, and when they returned to Majiagang, they would apply some honey on their bodies, and then drink water every day and boil mahjong. Whether they could save them depends on his luck."

Hulan blinked and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Then why should I take it back to Majiagang and let them save it?"

"We don't know if we can save it. They have no way to save it. No one will risk smallpox and get close to saving people."

To put it bluntly, it is a matter of existence and non-existence.

"It is not only a matter of death when staying here, but it may also infect others. Zheng Tu's tribe now has two extremely small Franchise machines, several wooden cannons that can be used several times, and more than twenty fuse guns were seized. Ma left behind two military soldiers to teach them how to use guns to fire cannons, and his combat power will improve."

"If the people dyed with smallpox stay here, they may not be able to do it. Then the entire tribe will be gone. Who will block the Western barbarians?"

"Ma Shuai wants them to keep this. Why don't we continue to look south? They don't want to go south?"

"It seems that their tribe is so big, no matter how far away it is, it belongs to others. They don't care about it and will not go."

Hulan got a few good horses, which was happier than giving him gold directly. He rubbed his hands and said, "We don't need them. The forty cavalry of Liao and Mongolia are like theirs. There are one wooden village like them. We can fight together. Let's continue to walk south!"

Ma Gui shook his head very firmly.

"Walking southward, you are not afraid of the enemy. Even if you are unable to defeat, you can escape. But if you encounter a large Western barbarian ship at sea and our ship has no cannons, wouldn't it become a target on the sea? Will it be a target on the sea? Will it be for someone to fight?"

"I only have this little soldier, and I don't have to take risks. Winning and defeat are not the same as before. Let's go back to the north first and return to Majiagang."

Ma Gui said as he lowered his eyes and looked at the map laid on the deck under his feet, raised his hand and fixed it in a place, and said, "In this way, along the coast, the only ones who are hostile to us are the Yi people."

"If these two natives suffering from smallpox can be cured, Zheng Tu's troops in Zhuangyuanqiao will respect us very much and then they can get acne for them. Our people will teach them how to speak and know more about this land at that time."

"They are a large tribe, and they can gather thousands of troops. I think multiple tribes gathered together to make friends with them..."

Halfway through Ma Gui, he suddenly felt extremely wronged in his heart.

What has he experienced over the years?

Don’t say that he was the general of the court, he was a first-rank Ronglu official, even if he was a general under Ma Fang’s troops in the past.

No matter what you are, Altan Khan, you will kick your camp with the cavalry all the way, letting you know whether Mr. Ma or your Mr. Ma.

When did their brothers consider who to be close to and who to please?

Now these things have been done extremely smoothly, and you won’t even blush if you say them.

The cavalry general from Xuanfu shook his head slowly, as if he wanted to throw away the thoughts in his mind. After living in the snowy and ice North Asia, they have been accustomed to disappointment and being forgotten.

"I don't know if Chen Shuai will come this year and if reinforcements will come. If he comes, the situation we understand can guide the way for the imperial army. If he doesn't come, we will take advantage of the fact that the northern waters have not yet frozen and go back to the Shuihu Peak."
