The Eagle of Eastern Europe
Chapter 99 Coup Conspiracy
After determining the policy, various departments began to take action. He also sent a special envoy to Hungary to make good friends and persuade Hungary to send troops.
Regarding the division of Serbia, Hungary will take the lion's share, while Wallachia will be aggrieved and take some Macedonia.
Mircea continued to train the army. He established an arsenal from which all weapons and equipment were distributed and trained the army himself.
In the composition of the small unit, in addition to the usual recruits, there are also the private soldiers of the nobles and the children of the small nobles. They were the main source of officers and heavy cavalry.
Although Mircea's reforms were all beneficial to Wallachia, some boyars were prepared to overthrow the archduke and safeguard their own interests.
"Our family followed several Grand Dukes and fought diligently and bloodyly. However, the Grand Duke wanted to squeeze us all out for the sake of his son."
"That's right, the Grand Duke wants to eliminate all the heroes of Wallachia. This is too heartless and unjust."
In a room, a dozen boyars were discussing a coup. They planned to overthrow Grand Duke Mircea and install another Boyardin as Grand Duke.
They are all the boyars who own the most land in Wallachia, and they are also the descendants of the heroes who followed Grand Duke Basarab to lead Wallachia to independence. In the past few decades, they have married each other and formed a huge group of heroes. They have their own army and control most of the wealth. They are the most powerful people in the area.
But everything has changed since Mircea took over. Whether it is to encourage the economy or improve the army, this is normal, especially since the Grand Duke led his army to defeat the Ottomans and gained high prestige. However, in the process of conquering the north and south, some people were canonized as boyars and entered the boyar conference. These people, like them, sit in the chambers and compete with them for political power, and their voice begins to decline.
What's more, in codification, some mud-legs also entered the meeting. Although they had gone to another hall for a meeting, they still sensed a crisis. The Grand Duke is going to eliminate them completely.
Since they are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust. A conspiracy begins to emerge, and the power struggle begins to heat up.
In fact, Grand Duke Mircea had already begun to carry out orderly elimination of these people. A group of people were punished for treason, provinces were established in local areas, and a large number of minor nobles were promoted. These are all Mircea's tricks.
What's even more terrible is that part of the military expenses used by Mircea's small army was forcibly allocated through them. Many soldiers were trained by them, and this was done from both ends. As a result, Boyar's confidence was gone.
Although Mircea offered financial compensation, they dismissed it. They felt that only the land was good, and other benefits were invisible and intangible. What if they disappeared.
So, they hugged each other. With the goal of safeguarding one's own interests and restoring the original state, if necessary, overthrow the government and make peace with foreign enemies.
"Everyone, our goal is very clear. That is to restore the glory and tradition of Wallachia, expel all heretics, and of course safeguard the interests of the old family."
As the eldest boyar, Abraham's words carry great weight. With him taking the lead, others quickly agreed to the goal and began making plans.
In their plan, they first instigated the spies in the small army to start a riot, and then they took the opportunity to lead the soldiers they recruited privately to the Grand Duke's residence to force Mircea to return to the tradition. If he did not obey, he would be killed. Well, the plan was perfect.
Everyone agreed to launch it at a special time, and everyone had to keep it secret. No one can leak it, otherwise they will attack in groups.
This kind of work can be regarded as a mid-level plan, but it was obvious that they ignored Peter again. They still couldn't see this lord's energy.
Asen rode back home. The so-called home was just a few houses and some land. Due to the profligacy of his ancestors, it declined in his generation.
Moreover, he also likes gambling, but basically he loses more than he wins. This puts an even greater squeeze on the already limited wealth.
His few servants held his horses and dressed him, and his steward reported to him that he had visitors.
"Who's coming?"
"Master, you'd better go and see for yourself."
Asen was very dissatisfied by this inexplicable tone. He wanted to see who was so famous.
He strode towards the living room and found a young man sitting on a chair with a middle-aged man standing next to him. When he saw the young man's face, he instantly turned pale.
"Having met the co-ruler of Wallachia, your kindness and reputation are known to all."
"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to talk to you about something."
Asen became even more nervous by Peter's words. What was he going to talk about? Could it be that the organization he joined was discovered?
"My residence is a bit crude. I hope Your Highness will not find it objectionable."
"No, I understand."
Peter looked at the painting in the living room and talked as he walked.
"If you could gamble less, your life should be different."
Asen looked at Peter with a horrified look on his face, and the man next to him took the paper and started reading.
"I lost 460 lei in a bet with a Genoese businessman, 680 lei in Venice, and 250 lei in Count Adam's..."
All these things add up to almost 2,000 lei, which is a huge sum of money. Asen really likes gambling.
"This is a lot, can't you be more restrained?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I have already restrained myself, but I still can't change it. In order to repay the money, I sold everything I could, but it's still not enough."
"Oh, so you're going to join Abraham and the others just because they promise you to pay off your debts?"
As soon as he heard this, Asen was so frightened that he knelt down.
"Your Highness, I'm just an uninformed person. They didn't take me with them about the specific incident."
"You still want to join!!!" Peter shouted sharply.
At this time, Asen could only beg Peter for his life. He still had a wife and children. He doesn't want to die yet.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness, please forgive me..."
Peter slowly leaned down and stared at Asen. Those eyes seemed to want to swallow the other person up.
"If you want to live so much, then do things for me!"
"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. I will also repay your debt, and I will also have 100 serfs and some land."
Peter offered Asen a reward, and now, he has no way out.
"Your Highness, Abraham and the others are plotting a coup."
Asen told them all their plans word for word. Peter even wanted to laugh a little. Do these people think Wallachia can be influenced by them? No.
"In that case, let's have fun with them." Peter said, the expression on his face became more and more ferocious, and he had to stay away when the devil came.
