"Thank you for your kindness, we have a great time here."

"Yes, if I hadn't been rescued by His Majesty, I'm afraid I'd have been spending my whole life in the dungeon. Where would I have the chance to see the beautiful scenery now?" A female doctor said with a loud laugh as she pinched the container in her hand.

"It's much better than before. Thank you, Your Majesty, you are really sent by the Lord to save us."

Now here, these people eat and drink, and enjoy the extremely generous treatment provided by the country, so they naturally praised Tim for his praise.

Tim smiled and waved to everyone: "Since everyone is living here well, I'm relieved. The situation in our country has stabilized now, so at this time, everyone needs to contribute to the development of the country."

"Don't worry, your Majesty, if you need our efforts, please give me your order." A philosopher assured Tim loudly.

The others also quickly swore to Tim.

Tim glanced and said, "Several military engineers, weapons designers and gunpowder maker stayed, and the others could go back to work."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you must talk to us next time." The others also left reluctantly, but before leaving, they didn't forget to ask Tim to talk to them next time. It seemed that in the hearts of these people, it was a very honorable thing to be left by His Majesty the King to talk about things.

"Hey, wait a minute, several doctors wait." Looking at the backs of several female doctors leaving, Tim quickly called them.

Hearing Tim's voice, several female doctors quickly turned around and saluted Tim. One female doctor said in disbelief: "Greetings to Your Majesty, do you let us stay?"

Tim nodded: "Yes, I'll let you stay."

There is a reason why these doctors Tim were left behind, because he had read in a European history that on one day in the second half of 1447, the Black Death occurred again in the Kingdom of Granada on the Iberian Peninsula and began to spread rapidly in the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula.

Although this news has not been recorded in official history, Tim couldn't help but worry, because the Black Death is so terrible that it can destroy more than half of the population in the European continent. Among them, the Black Death in 1338 was probably the largest number in history. The disaster was known as the Whip of God, almost covering the entire European continent.

According to historical records, around 1338 AD, a severe drought occurred in the grassland area of ​​Central Asia. Subsequently, under the combined effect of various factors, a local plague broke out in the area. Soon, the plague spread everywhere through the movement of people, and the starting point of its transmission was a very inconspicuous small city - Addition.

On the Crimean Peninsula on the coast of the Black Sea, there was a city called Adder controlled by Italian merchants. It belonged to the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire, and nearby was the Golden Horde established by the Mongols.

At that time, the Mongolian army was advancing westward, and the small city was facing danger at any time. In 1345, an accident occurred in the city.

One day, a group of Italian merchants had a dispute with local Arab residents on the streets. As the two sides refused to give in, the conflict continued to escalate. The Arabs, who were slightly inferior, sought help from their alliance Mongols. The Mongols who were trying to conquer the entire Crimean Peninsula took this opportunity to send troops to encircle the group of Italian merchants and the defenders of the Eastern Roman Empire in the city of Gafar.

However, due to the strong walls of Adder City and the tenacious resistance of the defenders, the Mongolian army, which had the upper hand, was difficult to conquer for a while, and the siege lasted for a whole year.

At this moment, the plague that originated in the Central Asian grassland a few years ago began to spread among the Mongolian army outside the city of Adder, causing the death of a large number of soldiers. After the deadlock lasted for a period of time, the Mongolians launched another attack on Adder City, but this time they used a new "weapon" - they used a huge stone thrower to launch the bodies of countless Mongolian soldiers who died of illness into the city. Soon, Adder City was filled with dead bodies.

Faced with these corpses that were infected by the plague and were rotting, the Italians were at a loss. They didn't know how to deal with it, and they didn't understand the power of the legendary plague. A few days later, the further rotten corpses polluted the air here and poisoned the water here, and the terrifying plague broke out.

Many people infected by the plague soon appeared in the city of Jiafa. These patients initially developed symptoms such as chills, headaches, and then developed fever, delirium, coma, extensive skin bleeding, erectile sores, respiratory failure, and deaths at two or three days at most, or four or five days at most.

Since the patient's skin is often dark and purple after death, people call this terrible plague "Black Death". The additives know nothing about this terrible disease, let alone know that it is plague, a strong infectious disease caused by Bacillus plague.

Within a few days, the additions in the city died one after another. The streets of the city were covered with corpses covered with evil sores and black spots. A once prosperous commercial city turned into a hell on earth in an instant. Those who survived by chance also fled out of the city in a black veil.

Outside the city, the Mongol army had quietly retreated. As for the reason for the retreat, they were probably suffering from plague. In addition, due to the death of a large number of people, they were unable to do so.

In this way, the additives who had not yet been infected escaped by chance. They quickly boarded a few sailboats and set off on their way back to their motherland, Italy.

Although they successfully embarked on the return journey, they did not expect that the culprits of the spread of the plague, rats and fleas, had already climbed onto the cables of sailboats, hid in the cargo hold, and followed these escapees to wander to the European continent.

At the same time, on the European continent, news about the city of Adderia being shrouded in the Black Death had spread all over the world, and people in various countries were panic. Therefore, when the fleet returned to Europe, no country dared to receive them, and all ports refused to land.

While the fleet was drifting alone in the Mediterranean, some sailors died. They could only wander on the sea hopelessly. Due to hunger and disease, most of the ships were dead. They drifted on the water in silence. Therefore, these ships were once called "ghost ships".
