Chapter 437
In the early morning of the next day, King Zhou slowly opened his eyes.

I just felt that my throat was very dry and painful, and I thought in my heart, it's not good, the condition is serious!
"Water... water..."

King Zhou lay on the bed and groaned a few times, but no one came in.

In desperation, he had to struggle to sit up, wanting to get a glass of water to drink.

What he is worried about now is not his own health, but the cowpox. Is this thing really as miraculous as Wan Fei said?
Nanhaiwei's condition has not been brought under control. If no effective treatment is found, the consequences will be serious!

What's more, Concubine Wan represents the emperor, and all the people admire her when she is cured. If it can't be cured, then it's hard to say...

Ugh!
In the past few days, my head has been dizzy, my limbs are sore, and I can hardly walk...Huh?

Zhou Wang lifted the quilt and got out of bed, but felt that his mind seemed to be much clearer.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, I found that my throat was still dry and sore, but the feeling of dizziness had disappeared, and what I could see became more and more clear. It's really strange, I was still dizzy yesterday...

Did you remember it wrong?

When he came to the table, he drank a glass of water first, and felt a cool feeling in his throat, and it seemed that the pain was not so bad.

I touched my forehead and it didn't seem to be hot.

Could it be...

The king of Zhou suddenly became joyful, and he pushed his sleeves away vigorously. Sure enough, the places where the herpes had appeared began to scab!
As Wan Fei said, the smallpox caused by cowpox is cured!

"My lord, why are you up?"

Wang De pushed the door open and came in, carrying a plate with a bowl of hot porridge, two steamed cakes and a plate of side dishes.

King Zhou said excitedly: "It turns out that the so-called vaccination is to infect people with smallpox once, but the smallpox transmitted through cattle is far less severe than the real smallpox, and the symptoms will be much weaker."

Wang De put down the food plate, scratched his head, and said, "Actually, I don't feel anything, it's just a rash..."

The king of Zhou ignored him and continued: "The reason why this king is seriously ill may be because I have been too hard these days. I just need to rest for a few days. According to Wan Fei, after getting sick, I don't have to worry about getting infected again." , Nanhaiwei is saved!"

Wang De said half-understood: "It's roughly like this..."

King Zhou laughed loudly, stood up and said, "I'm going to tell King Tan the good news now, and change clothes quickly."
-
After treatment, Zhu Qiyu's condition has been brought under control, but it has been repeated repeatedly, and he has not been cured.

Although he was sick in bed, he had to listen to Yuan Fu's report on the latest progress every day. When he learned that King Zhou had also fallen ill, he became even more worried.

Now King Zhou is the backbone of Nanhaiwei, and even he fell ill, what should I do...

Although there is Concubine Wan in charge, she is a woman after all, how can she control the situation?
To make matters worse, the smallpox virus is now spreading, spreading from Nanhaiwei to surrounding islands.

If this trend continues, sooner or later, it will spread to the mainland of Daming. At that time, it will be an unimaginable disaster!

Lying on the bed, there is a feeling of bewilderment.

Yuan Fu knocked on the door and said, "Report to the lord, His Highness King Zhou is here!"

Zhu Qiyu was worrying about the country and the people, so he said casually, "Please come in!"

"Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, and King Zhou quickly walked into the room and asked, "Nephew Qi Yu, how are you doing these days?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled wryly: "I heard that the disease is still spreading. If this continues, it's time to remind the emperor to strengthen the precautionary measures along the coast."

"Yes, I have to report to the emperor, and we should take strict precautions."

"Ugh……"

Zhu Qiyu sighed, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Didn't Uncle Zhou also suffer from smallpox?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Wang nodded, his expression was very determined.

Zhu Qiyu frowned, and said again: "Uncle Zhou Wang, today...you didn't cover your mouth and nose!"

In the past few days, when King Zhou came to Zhu Qiyu's room, he covered his mouth and nose with cotton cloth to prevent infection.

"It's okay!"

King Zhou waved his hand with a smile and said, "Everything is fine, look, there is nothing wrong!"

While talking, he also stood up and turned around twice, indicating that he had recovered.

Zhu Qiyu was very puzzled, and asked again: "Yesterday I heard that...it's very serious..."

"It was quite serious at first. After thinking about it this morning, it should have been caused by too much fatigue in the recent period. Now it's fine. Everything is as Concubine Wan said, and this smallpox is not so terrible!"

Zhu Qiyu's brows slowly relaxed. If it was true what Concubine Wan said, then a person only needs to be vaccinated once, and he will never get smallpox again in this life.

In this way, the spread of the disease can be controlled from the root.

The next step is to focus on these sick people. As long as they are cured, this smallpox will be completely eliminated!

The fact is exactly the same. Under the leadership of Wan Zhen'er, a large amount of vaccinia was bred, and everyone in Nanhaiwei, regardless of gender, age or age, had to be vaccinated.

The next step is to print this treatment method into a book and send it back to the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone in the world needs to follow suit.

Especially the one near Nanhaiwei, Jiaozhi!
Since Annan and Champa were reintroduced into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court added the Jiaozhi chief envoy and divided it into three states, from north to south, Annan Prefecture, Xianglin Prefecture and Linyi Prefecture.

Initially Zhu Qiyu was in charge, assisted by Zhang Fu and Mu Bin.

Later, Zhu Qiyu went to Luzon, and then to Nanhaiwei. Zhang Fu followed his son Zhang Mao to the farther island of Ceylon. The only nobleman guarding Jiaozhi was Mu Bin, the Duke of Qian.

In order to Yongzhen Jiaozhi, Mu Bin even rebuilt the Qianguo Mansion at the southernmost tip of Linyi Prefecture, and moved his family from Yunnan.

Hearing that Nanhaiwei had a very serious sore, Mu Bin specially sent his eldest son, Mu Zan, to help with a large amount of supplies.

However, Mu Zan left but did not come back. He only sent someone to bring back a letter.

When Mu Bin took a look, he immediately felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Nanhaiwei's sores were so severe that Mu Zan contracted the disease as soon as he landed and was bedridden.

Now Mu Bin was very worried. Nan Haiwei was seriously ill, and he couldn't help him here, and he even had a son.

What's even more frightening is that this kind of sore is very serious and is spreading unscrupulously. Jiaozhi, which he guards, is the closest to Nanhaiwei, and it is also the place where it will be affected the fastest!
These days, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

It's fine if there is an enemy attack, at least you know how to prevent it.

However, the virus came to him silently and without knowing when.

"Grandpa, there is a boat docking, and the leading boat came to report. The other party claimed to be from Nanhaiwei!"

Mu Bin suddenly became nervous and said: "Warning, don't go to the shore!"

"Yes!"

The lieutenant under him took the order and immediately carried it out, but it didn't take long before he came back again.

"My lord, the other side requested to send a landing ship ashore."

"no!"

Mu Bin shook his head, the situation is more serious now, so be careful at all times!
After a while, the lieutenant ran over panting, "Grandpa..."

"Didn't you say it all, you can't let them dock, there's no need to discuss it!"

"Grandpa, look at this!"

The lieutenant held a small oilcloth bag in his hand and said, "The other party shot the letter with a bow and arrow onto our lead ship!"

Mu Bin said: "Just look at it!"

"Grandpa, it says..."

The deputy general handed it over, and Mu Bin looked carefully, and there was indeed a line of small characters that read "Mu Bin, Duke of the State of Qian".

"what?"

Seeing the small print, Mu Bin was a little surprised and hurriedly opened it.

His expression was shocked, and he said: "Quickly, notify the lead ship, and guide the other party to dock at the port!"

"what?"

"Why are you still standing there, Zan'er is back!"

The worry on Mu Bin's face was wiped away. The two things he was worried about, one was his son and the other was his illness. Now he is well, and they are all resolved!

Not long after, Mu Zan ran in hurriedly.

"Father!"

Mu Bin's pupils contracted, and he said in a trembling voice, "Quick... come here!"

"Father, fortunately, the child did not disgrace his life and sent the supplies to Nanhaiwei!"

"Yes, yes... I know, well done, very good!"

Mu Bin looked carefully, but saw that Mu Zan was striding forward, looking a little sick.

"there's one more thing!"

Mu Zan took out a thin handwritten booklet from his body, and said, "My boy brought a cure for smallpox. From then on, there will be no smallpox in the world. God bless me!"

"What... smallpox?"

Mu Bin was a little confused, because it was the first time he heard this term.

Mu Zan hurriedly explained: "Smallpox is the malignant sore that ravages Nanhaiwei!"

"You mean, Nanhaiwei already has a cure for this sore?"

It's not that Mu Bin doesn't believe in his son, but from the information collected these days, it's known that this malignant sore disease is so frightening, how could it be eradicated so easily?
In other words, if it was really easy to deal with, it wouldn't wreak havoc on the entire South Sea Guard.

Mu Zan nodded and said, "Father doesn't know that, in order to eradicate the smallpox sore in Nanhaiwei, the imperial court sent His Royal Highness Zhou Wang and Concubine Zhen to go out to sea successively, and finally found the cure, which is vaccination. Please read this brochure." It's clearly written on it."

Mu Bin looked puzzled, picked up the booklet and looked at it for a while, then said: "This kind of treatment method is really unheard of, you just said... wait a minute!"

He seemed to realize something, and asked, "You mean, Empress Zhen?"

"Yes, Concubine Zhen?"

Mu Bin pondered for a while, and asked, "Why don't I remember that there is a concubine Zhen..."

"Concubine Zhen is the emperor's new concubine. It is said that she was originally a doctor in the inner palace. She is highly valued by the emperor. She took people out to sea on the day she was conferred."

Mu Bin nodded thoughtfully, thinking to himself, this empress is really amazing.

I only heard Mu Zan continue to say: "After the child was inoculated with cowpox, he was indeed infected with smallpox, but healed up quickly. This is the magic of cowpox. If the father doesn't believe it, the child will find out if he finds someone to try!"

Since Cochin is close to Nanhaiwei, there are merchant ships on weekdays. Since Nanhaiwei became seriously ill, patients in Cozhi and other places have also begun to appear, and the trend is getting worse.

Mu Bin was also worried about this, and he didn't even dare to let foreign ships call at the port.

Now that I heard that there is a solution, although I have doubts, I still agree to let my son try it.

However, new problems have come again.

I heard that vaccination with vaccinia is equivalent to actively infecting smallpox, and this kind of thing is generally not dared to try lightly.

After weighing it over and over again, Mu Bin asked, "Is this method really effective?"

"Father, come and see!"

Mu Zan immediately dragged his father to the outside, and gathered all the sailors and boatmen on board.

"After the children arrived in Nanhaiwei, some people got sick and some didn't. These were the ones who didn't get sick and got vaccinated."

As he spoke, he rolled up the sleeves of one of them, and there were indeed some faint scars on his arms.

Mu Bin asked: "I didn't notice anything unusual, so does this mean I've had smallpox?"

"Exactly!"

Mu Zan explained: "Ordinary people who have been inoculated with vaccinia have much milder symptoms than those who are directly infected. Some even have strong bodies and only have some rashes. After a few days, the rashes will turn into herpes and then form. The scab fell off, and from now on, I don't have to worry about smallpox anymore."

"It's so amazing!"

Mu Bin looked at several people in succession and couldn't help being amazed.

Now in Jiaozhi, there are also people who are infected, and the death rate is very high.

Here, it is not easy to cure a person.

But I didn't expect that this kind of acne method can come so easily, which is really rare.

Mu Zan continued: "The vaccination method provided by Concubine Wan is very simple, and it can be easily spread on a large scale. Even if it is spread to the whole world, it will be effortless. If everyone has been infected with this smallpox, The originally terrible smallpox can no longer wreak havoc."

"You're right, let's start with cochin first!"

Mu Bin knew very well that Jiaozhi was the closest to Nanhaiwei. Since there is a preventive method, there is nothing to say, just implement it as soon as possible.

First control the Cochin, even if there are still sick people running around, we will no longer be infected, then the transmission of the disease will be cut off.

It is almost impossible to spread to the mainland of Ming Dynasty.

However, I still have to remind the emperor that it is best to spread this method to the world, and then there is really no need to worry about it.

"You will be responsible for the vaccination of Cochin. I will write a memorial to the emperor now and report the matter truthfully!"

Mu Zan nodded, and then, as if thinking of something, he hurriedly added: "Father, you must remember that this method was created by Concubine Wan, and you must not forget it in the memorial."

"Don't worry, my father knows how to write!"

The next day, a fast horse set off from Jiaozhi, changing horses on the road without changing people, and galloped all the way north.

After entering the boundary of Jiangxi, a railway appeared, and the messenger boarded the train and arrived in the capital five days later.

Seeing the memorial, Zhu Qizhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this era, the smallpox virus spreads quickly and has a high fatality rate, which can be described as quite terrifying.

If it were not for the method of cowpox, it is unknown how many people would have died in this disaster.

Finally, the danger is lifted!
