In the distant summer of 1345, tens of thousands of Golden Horde Empire army came to the coast of Black Sea . Standing in front of them was a small port city, Kafa City (in Ukraine). The city's commerce flourished, with endless wealth, abundant food, many slaves and beauties, moreover, the abominable Venetian merchants, and the abominable Catholics.
"Massacre, massacre, massacre", the soldiers of the Golden Horde roared in shock, using this heartless convention to destroy the enemy's fighting spirit, rebuild the majesty of the Golden Horde Empire, revitalize the majesty of the Mongolian cavalry, and reproduce the glory of the ancestors Genghis Khan .
attacks the Mongolian Iron Cavalry
, but the siege was not smooth. This small city is unusually stubborn. Although the army has a terrifying and confusing musket , and although it has a trenching machine that destroys high walls and thick forts, after a year of unremitting battle, Kafa City is still as solid as a god.
As the descendant of Genghis Khan, Zhanibekhan, fire appeared in his eyes, and he recalled the strength and glory of his ancestors in his heart. How did grandpa and grandpa do it? Three times a century ago, expeditions to , defeating 600,000 European troops with 150,000 cavalry, crossed the Himalayas, crossed the Volga River, swept the Eastern European plains, and fought all the way to Mediterranean , establishing three super empires, including the powerful Golden Horde and the Il Khanate.
The powerful three-time Western Expedition
has come to my hands, why is this happening? Zhanibekhan couldn't figure it out.
This time, he personally led the Iron Cavalry of the Golden Horde to attack Kafacheng. He thought that he would be invincible wherever he went, just like the former Mongolian Western Expedition Army. Who knew it would be the result? The small city of Kafa has been attacked for a year without any progress.
Zanibekhan stared at this small town of Kafa. The city was covered with dark clouds, and black raindrops seemed to fall. A flock of birds flew out of the city, passed by his head, and fell a bird's poop. Will this be the beginning of the empire’s decline?
Powerful Empire
From here, Zhanibekhan can see the fire in the city of Kafa. Venetian merchants from Italy were still drinking and having fun. Next to them were Qincha Turkic slaves. Originally, these slaves met for their own warriors. Now it is freely traded by the lowly items among the people.
doesn’t care about much! Zhanibekhan withdrew his gaze and put away his ancestors' glory heart. He was unable to inherit his ancestors' powerful mantle.
Oil painting-like Mongolian Iron Cavalry
The army can no longer last for one more day, and it is about to withdraw! The army was stationed in the wasteland for a year. How could the Mongolian army stay in one place for so long? The military camp has long been filthy. An inexplicable plague is spreading among the soldiers, many soldiers are dying, and nearly half of the soldiers have lost their combat effectiveness.
Zhanibekhan took a last look at Kafacheng and sighed inwardly. Goodbye, Kafa City! Goodbye, Grandpa Badu! Goodbye, ancestor Genghis Khan!
He decided to give Kafa City a big gift before leaving. He waved his hand firmly, "Take them the god of death with the corpse." The soldiers couldn't do it, maybe this plague could do it. So the earliest biological weapon , the corpse of the soldier infected with the plague, was thrown into Kafa City by a huge trencher.
God created man for seven days, and this time the plague killed a city, which took less than seven days.
Also entering the city with the corpse flea . The corpse continues to rot, polluting the air and polluting the water source. First, a person who carried the body with bare hands was infected, and then more people were infected.
Two days later, the plague spread in the city faster, and a large number of people died within three days. Many people were extremely frightened and immediately chose to escape. The once extremely prosperous city of Kafa finally became an empty city.
The surviving Italians fled to Messina in Sicily , while bringing the plague into the hinterland of Europe.
The world of rich people
The plague soon showed its sharp fangs, and countless infected people were in a while, with no cure, and the omnipotent Catholic Church could not play any role. In just a few weeks, Messina fell into a dead city.
Poor bird beak doctor
The plague did not stop and immediately marched quickly towards the European continent ruthlessly. Through Genoa , to Venice, Pisa , Florence , the plague rested in Florence for several months, and then advanced north in one fell swoop, swept France through Marseille, forcing Germany, and continued northward to Nordic Europe and eastern Europe. Britain, which was separated by the straits, was not spared. The plague was carried by merchant ships. Using the port of Dorset as a breakthrough, it took a year to conquer London and the entire island.
Then the plague weakened and gradually became invisible when it was expeditioning Russia. Look, even the plague cannot conquer Russia!
Finally, the plague spread on a large scale for six years, sweeping across the European continent, causing Europe to lose one-third of its population, nearly 25 million. What the Mongolian Iron Cavalry did not do was done by an incompetent descendant and a plague. God was speechless, looking at the tragic world, and never lifted the scepter .
This sudden plague was called " Black Death " at the time, but now it is called " Plague ".
