Chapter 141 Great Victory

As one of the successors of Rome, Wallachia will naturally take up the banner after the decline of the Eastern Roman Empire. This is not only for the Eastern pagans to see, but also for the Western heretics to see.

Serbia was also obedient. Facing the pressure of Wallachia, it quickly surrendered and exchanged 40,000 gold coins a year for its continued existence in this world. At the same time, it sold some land to Wallachia at this year's tribute price, including Krushevac. It is only a day or two away from Niš, and it is easy for the other side to quickly capture it.

In recent years, the situation in the Balkans has become more and more difficult to see through. Who would have thought that the Ottoman Empire, which was originally the overlord of the Balkans, now only has a small coastal area. Instead, it is a country they have never heard of. This must be carefully inquired?

So all kinds of people began to be in Wallachia. They either did business or inquired about the news. Strive to achieve their own goals or the goals of the countries behind them in this place.

The successive victories made Mircea decide to follow the example of the Roman emperor and hold a triumphal ceremony in the capital. After all, Wallachia is also the heir of part of the Roman legacy, so there is no problem holding a Roman-style triumph.

Peter also chose a place in the capital to build a triumphal arch, which was built for Wallachia's victory, so it must be tall and magnificent. He wanted the people to see that Wallachia's prosperity was inseparable from the Bartram family. Without Bartram, Wallachia's fate would be hard to say.

This is a bit heroic, but in the Middle Ages, there was really no problem. Only with a steady stream of victories can the family last forever and continue to promote the implementation of their own policies.

"Send people to the new land to check the population and land immediately. I need to get accurate data."

Peter gave orders to everyone in the Senate. His career as a governor in the past few years has made his political means more and more flexible. The status of a co-ruler guarantees his participation in the formulation of national decisions. When the Grand Duke is away, he governs the country as a ruler.

At present, farming is the top priority. Peter is very concerned about the farming situation in various places. He hopes to maximize the productivity of farmers, and most of the policies are tilted towards farmers for this reason.

"Your Highness, this month more than 20,000 people have immigrated to Moldova from Lithuania and Poland, and have been settled in Iasi, Suceava and Uxhall."

"Again, food, seeds, and farm tools must be prepared for them, and they only need to repay with food next year."

"Your Highness, their taxes have been reduced by one-fifth compared to the citizens of Wallachia."

The Minister of Finance expressed his doubts, because Peter was too kind to these new people and farmers, and if this continued, the remaining boyar nobles would also be unhappy.

"These people abandoned the place where their ancestors lived for generations and came here with their families, isn't it because they can live here? In this case, why not create a tolerant environment for them?"

Peter blocked the Minister of Finance's mouth. He also knew that the policies above would change when they were passed down, and there would be conflicts between technical bureaucrats and local nobles, but fortunately the church was on his side, and the peasants and serfs were the most devout believers.

According to Petkov's intelligence network, the policy implementation in Moldova and Bulgaria is relatively good, while that in Wallachia is somewhat uneven because the boyars in some places do not cooperate. They cannot imagine that these untouchables will gain a lot of wealth, nor do they want to see strangers governing the place. They think their rights have been violated.

The education system in Wallachia has just started, unlike the East, which has a thousand-year foundation. Moreover, the level of selected bureaucrats is also different, so the selection and supervision mechanism for officials must be established as soon as possible.

After leaving the State Council, Peter came to the training ground, where his younger brother Mihaly and Castrioti's son Stanitsa were receiving sword training.

"It seems that he has adapted to this place"

Now that Castrioti has become a vassal of Wallachia, the heir is also a noble of Wallachia, and there is no need to treat him differently. And it won't be long before his father comes here to reunite with him.

"The foundation in Kosovo and Macedonia is currently unstable, and we must closely monitor all those who may destroy it." Peter said to Petkov next to him.

"Yes"

Half a month later, Mircea led the army back to Bucuriesti. Residents stood on both sides of the street and cheered them. They thanked the Grand Duke and thanked him and the soldiers for their contributions. If it weren't for their protection, Wallachia would probably be Ottoman territory.

Grand Duke Mircea rode in front, and the soldiers walked behind. Behind them were the spoils they obtained on the battlefield, including 250 carts of precious statues, paintings and other artworks, 77 boxes of gold coins, and 750 boxes of silver coins. As for other gold and silver utensils, weapons and equipment and wealth seized, they were countless. Except for the rewards given to soldiers and the private pockets of the commander, most of these spoils were turned over to the national treasury.

Following the team carrying the spoils was the team of prisoners. From Sipahi to ordinary soldiers, there were all of them. The most shocking thing was that there was also an Ottoman Sultan's royal flag. It might be that Bayezid walked too fast and forgot to take it, so Wallachia took it.

The enemy's flag appeared in the spoils of war, which was undoubtedly the best proof that the enemy army had indeed been defeated. And the people's voices rose again.

Then, Mircea came to the front of the church, and Patriarch Carol personally greeted him and congratulated him on his victory in the battle against the pagans. The entire triumphal ceremony officially ended.

A grand banquet followed, with nobles, officials, and foreign guests all coming. Meat, spices, and even peacocks were served. The most exotic and expensive things in Europe could be found here. This made people amazed at the wealth of Wallachia, and at the same time a little jealous. Why weren't these their own?

"Ladies and Gentlemen, God created Wallachia because he had a special mission. He was a warrior who defended God, and he was destined to fight against pagans."

Peter shouted at the side, "Long live Grand Duke Mircea!"

"Long live Grand Duke Mircea!"

"Long live the Grand Duke!"

Grand Duke Mircea said, "Long live Wallachia," and the nobles began to shout again. The sound was so loud that it was about to blow the roof off.

After Peter's propaganda and Mircea's triumphal procession, most of Europe knew that Wallachia had defeated the Ottomans again. They began to improve relations again, striving to raise their relationship with Wallachia to a particularly green face.

Venice and Genoa expressed friendship to Wallachia, and the Florentines also wanted to try their luck, but they preferred the Hanseatic League the most because they did not ask for anything else but to do business honestly.
