Chapter 40 Maximize Strategy and Internal Affairs Skill Points

Mircea took this opportunity to withdraw his troops to Wallachia, but left troops in Karafat, which was separated from Vidin by a river. Once Vidin changed, he could act quickly.

Bayezid had already begun to return to the Balkans from Anatolia. Seeing this, Sigismund had to lead his troops back, no matter what the Bulgarian Tsar said.

Mircea understood that he had to continue to accumulate strength in order to gain a foothold in the Balkans. So he had to continue to reform.

The artillery workshop in Constanta was very busy, and the orders from the Grand Duke and the lord were already scheduled for three months later.

In order to increase production, the cost of recruiting artillery craftsmen was already one-third higher than in other regions. This also led to an increase in the prices of craftsmen in the industrial chain such as blacksmiths. More and more craftsmen in the Balkans moved to Wallachia, and bankrupt craftsmen recruited from Bohemia also came here along the Danube.

After getting used to the prosperity of Prague and Brno, I was a little uncomfortable with the towns in Wallachia. But they had no way out. They would be poor if they returned to Bohemia anyway, so they might as well fight here.

There was also progress on Murano Island in Venice. Several craftsmen who did not want to stay here took advantage of the night and the guards' inattention and ran out in a small boat. Just when they were worrying about where to go, the people of the Chamber of Commerce found them and invited them to Wallachia.

Since there was no better option for the time being, these craftsmen agreed to the request. Take their technology to Eastern Europe.

Mircea asked Duboniboyar to be responsible for the construction of the new capital, which should be comparable to Constantinople. Churches, castles, markets, and universities are all necessary.

This is also because some Greek scholars came to Wallachia and were full of expectations for the Constantinople they described, so they wanted to build it into a capital second only to Constantinople.

Mircea increased his attention to industry and commerce, not only issued various decrees to protect industrialists and businessmen, but also formulated a national temple fair. In this way, they can also collect taxes during these days.

Mircea still thought of Peter, and he sent someone to Iasi to call his son back. I hope he can bring more financial advice.

————Dividing line————

Peter also has nothing to do, and now he doesn't have to worry about many things. However, the news from Kemplong made Peter start thinking-who should he marry?

Logically speaking, marrying a princess of the Roman Empire is the best choice, which can also inherit a large number of claims. But the problem is that there are almost no princesses in Rome.

John V's daughter died a long time ago, and Manuel's daughter has not been born yet. Yes, that's right. Manuel got married after he succeeded to the throne, and he was 40 years old at this time.

It seems that Peter should marry the daughter of a local noble. At least that's what he thinks for now.

The trade with the Hanseatic League has made him a lot of money, not only a lot of gold coins. They also managed to find British sheep. As long as there is money, there is nothing that can't be done.

It just so happened that he expanded the guards around him. Some people were reorganized and sent to other countries to transmit intelligence.

Like the Jinyiwei of Ming Taizu, Peter also set up an intelligence agency, and they operated in other countries in the name of the Chamber of Commerce.

They were all carefully selected and loyal to their lords. Through bribery and other means, the intelligence network was developed, with the Balkans, Hungary and Lithuania as the key directions.

"My lord, the news from Vidin."

Peter opened the secret letter, and the content inside surprised him a little.

Establish an alliance and request other countries to rule. Isn't this the routine of the Prussian Alliance under the Teutonic Knights?

However, his father was still a little hesitant, but he gave the alliance 1,000 gold coins. This shows that Vidin is very attractive.

"Since they want Wallachia to rule so much, let's help them!"

Peter also sent two thousand gold coins and attached a message: "May Vidin truly receive the glory of the Lord"

Spies from various countries work closely with the local Orthodox Church, and they can always get some special news.

The church in Transylvania belongs to folk beliefs. Because it is under the rule of Hungary, the upper rulers believe in Catholicism and the civilians believe in Orthodoxy.

Moreover, the Wallachians who believe in Orthodoxy are also oppressed by those Hungarians and Germans. Very few people can really get into the superstructure. Taking this opportunity, Peter had people privately promote the Wallachian language and pro-Walachian intentions in Transylvania.

The church assumes the role of group leadership. In Cluj, some nobles and civilians began to unite under the leadership of the church to form an anti-Hungarian group.

After 1366, Hungary's oppression of the Wallachians became more severe. Some nobles were also excluded from the governance system, so when the church proposed resistance, they joined here without hesitation.

Both Peter and Mircea felt that it was inappropriate to turn against Hungary now. Before the victory with the Ottomans was decided, they went to fight others, and this encirclement came out directly.

Wallachia now has too few diplomatic skill points to play distant friends and nearby attacks. There are too few military ability points, and it can't play Frederick's enemy with all neighboring countries. So you can only fill up the strategy and economic skill points first, and then focus on defense in military, and protect yourself first.

The Boyar Conference is also running well, and they are discussing various topics in the conference room. Sometimes the quarrels would be so loud that the roof would be blown off, but with the suppression of Peter and the conference supervisor, there was no trouble.

In the previous meeting, the boyars also proposed some policies that were beneficial to Moldova. At the same time, the bishop fully supported Peter, and this was also because he was grateful for the construction of the Iasi Cathedral. Some devout boyars naturally sided with Peter.

Now Peter needs to wait for Moldova to develop, so that he can harvest a large rear area with rich products and a developed economy.

"Director, what do you think of this land?" Peter asked the conference director Bogdan.

"Sir, Moldova is a beautiful and fertile land with potential. You only need to spend time, and you will gain a lot."

Bogdan is right. Now time is everything that drives development. They have done well enough.
