I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

Zhu Fugui thought for a while, and felt that Coke should be added.

Zhu Fugui has been drinking this stuff for a while.

Eunuch Li, who has a sweet tooth, was also full of praise for the fizzy drink.

Don't underestimate the seemingly cheap cultural symbols such as cola and hamburger.

On January 1990, 1, the first McDonald's in the Soviet Union opened in Moscow. Countless people from Moscow flocked to it, queuing up for a taste of Coke and hamburgers in the capitalist world.

Eleven months later, the Soviet Union collapsed.

Of course, it cannot be said that a small glass of Coke corroded the red monster.

Coke itself is innocent, just a tasty drink loaded with sugar and caffeine.

But just like the lines of the defeated country when the cultural victory is achieved in "Civilization 5", "My citizens are listening to your country's music and wearing your jeans", pop culture is also a kind of soft knife that does not see blood.

For Zhu Fugui, it was even more so.

Only by exporting more pop culture can he buy more big treasures and achieve the final "nuclear balance".

Today, the extract of kola nut is only one of the commonly used raw materials of many cheating secret medicines in the United States.

Soda as a beverage was never born either.

Coca-Cola is not a symbol of American pop culture.

Zhu Fugui said that kola nuts originated in America, and he traveled to America.

What God gives and does not take will be punished by God.

Midi, your pop culture is indeed very combative.

But starting today, part of it belongs to me, Daming!

Zhu Fugui even thought of the name of Coke.

It's called "Rich Coke"!

The English name is "the Rich&the Lord Cola", or R&LCola for short.

It is very classy at first glance.

You have to eat Chinese food, you have to drink Coca-Cola, and you can be inclusive, only then can you be Ming.

Zhu Fugui is very satisfied with his cultural value.

Early the next morning, together with Yin Susu, he called Aunt Niu, Yin Weat and other Yin people's backbones to have a meeting to discuss.

For tribal matters, the Chinese laborers have no eyesight, and Zhu Fugui can only rely on the "rear party".

But when they heard Zhu Fugui's question, Aunt Niu and the others turned ugly.

"Niu Aiqing, is there any difficulty in this?" Zhu Fugui asked.

"Actually, our tribe and the Raven tribe have deep grievances..."

Yin Susu sighed and said, "If you just buy some old rifles from them, they might agree, but if you want them to act as a middleman to take us to a white town, they will probably refuse..."

"Not only that!"

Aunt Niu added, "After our old patriarch was hanged by white people last year, the Raven Tribe wanted to annex us, and their new patriarch even wanted to..."

"Stop talking, Auntie!" Yin Susu hurriedly stopped her.

Zhu Fugui frowned, and his sense of this Raven tribe became even worse, "Susu, what's going on, do we need to hide something between us?"

Yin Susu bit her lip and said, "The patriarch Boa snake of Raven has always wanted me to be his wife, but Brother Fugui, don't worry, I never paid attention to him!"

"This bastard!"

Zhu Fugui patted the table!

Damn it, it's a good thing this young master came early, otherwise this beautiful wife would have a generous dowry, wouldn't it be cheaper than that little bastard?

Whether it is an emperor or an ordinary man, it is always unavoidable to be angry when he learns that someone is often harassing his woman.

"but……"

Yin Wei suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the strange thing is that people from the Raven tribe haven't come to harass us for a long time since March, and they usually come once or twice a month."

When Yin Were said this, Yin Susu and Aunt Niu also felt strange.

"It's not pythonic style."

Aunt Niu frowned, "Could it be that they are secretly plotting something?"

Yin Susu also said worriedly: "The Raven tribe is a large tribe, with more than 3000 people, and there are at least 1000 adult warriors. Moreover, the Raven tribe has been helping white people raise horses since decades ago. Got a lot of guns there, and if they were really determined to hit us, I'm afraid..."

Zhu Fugui finally understood.

The strength on the emotional side is simply not enough for others to fight.

Zhu Fugui almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. He found that he had been keeping his vigilant eyes on the direction of the mine in the west, but ignored the threat from other Yin tribes in the east!

This cannot be regarded as Zhu Fugui's mistake.

It can only be said that as an ordinary person who grew up in a peaceful age, he habitually treats his fellow clansmen with kindness.

But today's troubled times are cruel and merciless after all.

There are also various struggles among Yin people for survival resources and various interests.

Just like the court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Eight Banners of Manchuria are about to fly dragons to ride their faces. They are still making their own calculations, and the king of Fu and the king of Tang are constantly fighting.

But now that Zhu Fugui has built the factory, he is in an embarrassing situation where he can run away from the monk but not from the temple.

Of course, time is still on Zhu Fugui's side.

The Raven tribe is said to have a thousand fighters and has rifles, but as long as Zhu Fugui is given another month to train a hundred qualified armed workers, Zhu Fugui will dare to fight them.

After all, although the Raven Tribe had guns, they probably only had [-] or [-] guns, so it was impossible to have sufficient firepower.

Otherwise, white people can't sleep.

For such an opponent, Zhu Fugui can buy a small number of advanced rifles, cooperate with tracked agricultural vehicles and cold weapon cavalry, and rely on standardized training to compete with them.

You know, more than 300 members of the Seventh Cavalry Regiment of the U.S. Army have been rampant in the vicinity for a long time.

Under their despotic power, the nearby Yin tribes either fled to the mountains like the Yunwu tribe, or became a licking dog like the Raven tribe, or went north to join the large tribes of the Sioux Alliance.

It is true that the Yin people are not brave, but their training, tactics, and equipment have been left far behind by this era.

The number of people is no longer a decisive factor in combat power.

……

Just when Zhu Fugui was thinking about how he should prepare some hard goods for self-defense as soon as possible, suddenly a Yin sentry ran over in panic.

He didn't even have time to knock on the door, and rushed in directly: "Report...report to His Majesty the Emperor, Concubine Yin, the Raven Man...the Raven Man is here!"

Seeing the sentinel panting heavily, as if seeing a ghost, Zhu Fugui's heart sank to the bottom of the pool.

Do these people belong to Cao Cao?

How to say come?

I am not prepared yet!

Zhu Fugui asked in a deep voice: "How many people did they come? One hundred? Five hundred? Or one thousand?"

If there were only one or two hundred people, then Zhu Fugui would meet them before he was ready to tear himself apart.

If there are thousands of people, then maybe Zhu Fugui has to learn from Zhu Youlang and become a running emperor.

"No...not that many people!"

The sentinel took a breath and said, "There is only one person..."

"Mother Xipi, what's your name when you're alone!"

Zhu Fugui was so angry that his hometown dialect burst out.

Aunt Niu and the others also looked at the sentinel strangely.

It shouldn't be, every time the Raven tribe comes, there are hundreds of warriors showing off their might, why is there only one person this time?

Faced with everyone's doubts, the sentinel was about to cry, "It's true that there is only one person here...but he is more terrifying than a thousand people...he...he has acne!!!"

Chapter 043 Smallpox and Vaccines

Smallpox, one of the oldest and most vicious enemies faced by mankind.

As early as 100 BC, traces of smallpox could be found on pharaoh mummies in ancient Egypt.

The shadow of smallpox is indispensable in the history of all major civilizations in the old continent.

The puppet Qing emperor Aixinjueluo Xuanye was able to win the throne contest because he had smallpox and recovered when he was young.

Of course, from the notoriety of Kang Mazi in the market, we can also know what kind of imprint that childhood plague left on him.

When the Spanish colonists set foot in the Americas, this terrible virus swept through the inherent civilizations of the New World such as the Aztecs and the Inca like a flood.

The lack of corresponding antibodies in the Indians, coupled with the frantic and deliberate spread of the colonists, the population loss caused by smallpox is incalculable.

This nightmare that has lasted for more than 300 years still has not subsided.

Countless Yin tribes disappeared in the long river of history because of this plague.

Therefore, the fear of smallpox has been deeply rooted in the bones of Yin people for 300 years.

When the sentinel uttered the word "acne", Yin Susu's face turned pale, Aunt Niu sat slumped on the ground, and even Yin Weat, who had always been calm, changed his usual poker face, showing a rare panic.

"O benevolent clouds, maples of mighty witchcraft, have mercy on our ignorant and sinful ravens, please save us—"

At this time, as if the cuckoo was weeping blood, a shrill howl came from outside the village, accompanied by the terrified stop of the sentinels.

When everyone rushed to the entrance of the village, they saw a man with a festered face lying on the ground far away, while the sentries pointed their bows and arrows at him with full vigilance.

During the long period of fighting against smallpox, although the Indians still regarded it as the punishment of the devil, they gradually figured out some rules.

That is, people who have been exposed to smallpox patients are likely to become the next patients.

The man with festered face didn't seem to have affected his eyesight. He saw the grandma coming from the temple from a distance, and immediately became excited.

"Grandma Maple Tree, please save our tribe. You are the greatest wizard nearby. You must have a way to defeat these demons, right?"

Seeing the excited envoy, the sentries quickly stopped again: "Back, don't move forward, or we will shoot arrows!"

The eldest grandma, also known as Granny Maple in their mouth, shook her head helplessly, and shouted from a distance: "You go back, the power of the pox god is invincible, you go to find your European friends, maybe they will There is a way."

"Europeans... Europeans are a bunch of greedy robbers!"

Of course, the Raven Tribe asked for help from the familiar white towns, but when the white people learned that the Raven Tribe had a smallpox outbreak, instead of extending a helping hand, they burned all the envoys sent by the Raven to death.

You must know that the smallpox epidemic in the tribe at that time was not as serious as it is now, and those messengers did not get sick, so measures such as isolation can be taken.

The last emissary of the Raven Tribe cried bitterly. If even Granny Maple couldn't help it, then the destruction of the tribe would only be a matter of time.

"Long live, is this smallpox?"

Old eunuch Li's eyes were not very good, and he didn't see what was going on until now, so he quickly persuaded, "I can't be kind to a woman at this time, why don't you shoot all the arrows and drive this plague-stricken person away?" !"

Yin Susu bit her lip, and seemed to have made up her mind.

She was about to direct the sentry to release arrows, but someone grabbed her wrist.

……

Although smallpox is terrible, it is the only infectious disease in human history that has been completely eradicated.

This is inseparable from the success of the smallpox vaccine, also known as the vaccinia vaccine.

After coming to this era, Zhu Fugui has long considered the issue of infectious diseases, and the smallpox vaccine is also a top priority.

Unfortunately, as the WHO announced in 1980 that the wild strain of smallpox virus had been successfully eradicated worldwide, the Chinese government also stopped the vaccination of newborn smallpox vaccines in 1982.

Without government promotion, there is no profit.

Without profit, no one would do business in this area in the era of marketization.

So in 2023, even if ordinary people want to buy smallpox vaccine, it will not be easy.

However, the production of the smallpox vaccine itself is not difficult, and the cost is not high.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the whole world to simultaneously eradicate smallpox in just ten years.
