The Eagle of Eastern Europe

After returning, Mircea gave an order to the Senate: prepare the army for war.

All idle people must undergo military training and be paid by the government, and nobles must also serve. Weapons are issued by the government, and soldiers are exempted from taxes when they join the war.

In addition, all the mercenaries in Wallachia were recruited. They received salaries and land rewards, but they had to obey the orders of the Grand Duke.

However, it is also good to make some money or learn some knowledge during the winter.

The opening of printing plants allowed books and writing to spread throughout the country, and coupled with the Grand Duke's mandatory order, the Wallachian writing spread very quickly.

The Academy of Constanta is currently the best educational institution in Wallachia, with many teachers from Constantinople gathered here. Responsible for teaching Greek, Latin, literature, medicine, law, philosophy and other subjects.

Originally he just wanted to provide some literate people as civil servants, but later Peter changed his goal, which was to turn the Italian Renaissance into the Wallachian Renaissance. Not only must those Roman scholars be retained, but also scholars from Italy themselves must be attracted.

Every city has a bulletin board where government announcements are posted. Of course, if you want to see it alone, you can customize a private version of the announcement. Printing houses also take these jobs.

Winter is the fastest time for construction projects, and a large number of farmers come to cities to sell their labor. Especially the construction of Bukur Yesti. After defeating the Ottomans, the capital can be moved.

There are still many open spaces in Bukur Yesti, which are used to build churches, palaces, universities and other buildings. Now everyone who comes here will bring some rocks with them, let alone a convoy.

In addition to the chief, each office of the Senate is in charge of five to ten officials. Some of them are new boyars, and some are promoted by exception. The purpose is to ensure efficiency while also checking and balancing each other. Mircea appointed Angel Petrescu as prime minister. He came from the Petrescu family, the founding fathers of the country. This family has been supporting the Grand Duke since the founding of the country. Also holding large tracts of land near Pitesti was an influential large boyar in Wallachia.

The current head of the family, Angel, has been through three Grand Dukes and has always supported the Grand Duke. After Mircea became the Grand Duke, Angel was also an important member of the government. Letting him serve as prime minister was not only an appeasement to the boyar class, but also to prevent the loss of power.

The Wallachian army began to move, making final stops and training in the two border towns of Kalafat and Mangalia. There was also an army stationed in Gyurgiu for emergencies.

Just like the conversation at the hunting lodge that day, Wallachia's lowest goal is to reach Plovdiv, and the highest goal is to reach Thessaloniki. If so, Wallachia can obtain a Mediterranean port.

Mircea also actively contacted the Lom Alliance and learned that the ruler of Vidin was ready to defect to the Ottomans to become the ruler of Bulgaria. This made Mircea feel that time was running out. He had to strike first.

So he sent for Peter to come over.

At this time, Peter was looking at the translated Song of Roland. He was holding the book in one hand and holding his brother Mihai's head with the other.

"Give up, it will take another ten years before you can compete with me."

"No, a true warrior is always not afraid of any difficulty."

Seeing this, Peter also put down his book. Lifting Mihai directly, the younger brother immediately let out a heart-rending roar.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

"Come on warrior, let me see your strength!"

This was a completely crushing duel, and Mihai was beaten by Peter in various ways. Look at the scary people.

"Ah ah ah, brother, you're being ridiculous."

"Really? Isn't it true that my skills are inferior to others?"

Peter teased his brother, and Lady Maria was very pleased to see this scene. It would be fine if it could continue like this.

But alas, that's currently not possible. Because Peter was called away. Lady Maria knew that something must be going on, and it was a big deal.

"Father, you called me."

"Well, the ruler of Vidin is ready to defect to the Ottomans. It seems that he must be ready to take action."

Peter was not surprised when he heard the news. It was only a matter of time before he took refuge with Osman. Unless he was prepared to run away, how could he give up so easily after he had ruled for so many years?

"Father, this time we are going to strike first."

Mircea agreed, and took advantage of the fact that Sipasi had not yet reached the end of his term of service, attacked the three Bulgarian countries, and then sent all the troops to fight to the death with the Ottomans.

The risks are high, but the rewards are also great. Originally, I planned to set off while the Ottomans and Bulgaria were fighting to the death, but now I have to look ahead.

So, a secret letter reached Lom.

In the castle in the center of Lom, a group of nobles are discussing an issue that will have an impact on Vidin and even the entire Balkans.

"Everyone, are you ready? Once you make a decision, there is no way out."

All the nobles responded in unison, "We are all ready. Those people dare to betray Vidin and betray God. We must save Vidin and prevent him from being tainted by heretics."

The Lom Alliance took action, and all the minor nobles joined. They were not only local nobles, but also devout Orthodox Christians. They couldn't bear the surrender of the upper-class rulers to their enemies, so they wanted to fight hard. Even if they failed, they could still be remembered by future generations.

They took stock of their troops and then began to march towards Vidin.

The ruler of Vidin, Slazimir, was ready to surrender to the Ottomans and become the Tsar of Bulgaria, because under his rule, Vidin's economy and culture had developed greatly. In previous battles, he also occupied large areas of Bulgaria, but unfortunately he was missed by the Ottomans.

"How, can it succeed?"

"Absolutely, only you can lead all of Bulgaria."

Slazimir was relieved. As long as he had Ottoman's support, he would be sure to become the Tsar of Bulgaria.

"By the way, Your Majesty, there has been some big commotion in Wallachia recently, so you need to be on guard!"

Slazimir was somewhat ambivalent about Wallachia. He was somewhat related to the rulers of Wallachia, but was afraid of Ottoman power. After much thought, I had no choice but to invest in Ottoman.

"It's okay. When the Ottoman army comes, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Slazimir said so, just need to wait until March, when the Ottoman army comes, everything will be settled.

But he certainly did not expect that only he and the big nobles would agree, and it was impossible for the small nobles, let alone the bishops and monks, to make the Orthodox country submit to the rule of the pagans.

Therefore, his death is coming soon.

Didn't go in, just got stuck occasionally.
