Chapter 111 How to go on has become an important issue

Of course, during his stay in Buda, Peter also investigated the political composition of Transylvania.The result was not beyond his expectations: the 12 big nobles and 48 small and medium nobles owned by Transylvania were all Hungarians and Germans without exception.Among the landowners, Hungarians and Germans also make up the majority. They occupy most of the land and minerals in Transylvania, while the Wallachians own only a small part.

This unbalanced situation has lasted for a hundred years. If there is no external force, either wait for them to revolt on their own, or continue to wait.

In addition to Transylvania, the Vojvodina region centered on Belgrade is also a place with more Orthodox Christians.Wallachia can make a fuss from these two places in the future.

Before leaving, Peter sent a letter to Mary.In addition to wishing her early success, she also told her to be careful with Sigismund.

As long as the goal is achieved, he doesn't care what the other party is feeling.After all, love is not in the mood now, let's farm honestly.

Peter left Buda, having already been there for half a month.He will next pass through Pozzoni and then into Bohemia.

At the pier, the boats for the next stop are ready.Before boarding, Peter glanced back at Buda.

"Buda, I hope to see you next time. You have changed masters."

After speaking, Peter got into the boat.The ship with the co-ruler of Wallachia slowly left here.

Buda, the richest city in Hungary, what happens in the future is only determined by God.

Mircea officially moved his capital to Bukuryeshti, and the palace and government were all relocated.Whether it is geographical location or economic and trade defense, it is better than Kemplong.

A large number of merchants trade here, and the villages and towns outside the city provide food and daily necessities for the city.And a large number of people have also immigrated here. I believe that it will become the second largest city in the Balkans in a short time.

Mircea continues to promote domestic development, the Bukuryeshti University is being established, and the training of the army is also in progress.

Mircea decided to formally establish a standing army in Wallachia based on his own small army and the legions that Peter had assembled.

At present, Wallachia has a population of 150 million people. According to the 20 to 1 conscription, 5 people is the maximum limit.Under the limit, Wallachia can get 10 people, but at most half a year.

Wallachia's rich resources and favorable immigration conditions have attracted many people, Serbs and Greeks in the south; Ross, Armenians, Ruthenians in the northeast, and even Germans through Poland and Hungary came here.What they fancy is the local undeveloped land and the tax-free policy.

We must know how much courage it takes to abandon the ancestral land and property and drag the family to a new land in this era.And they did so. The oppression of the landlords and nobles and the persecution of the heretics are the main reasons for their transfer. Who doesn't want to live in peace and stability.

"Grand Duke, over the past few months, more than 5 people have come here. Most of them stayed in Sofia, Nis, Uxhall and other places."

When Mircea heard the results of the immigration, she almost jumped up.With land and population, why not worry that Wallachia is not strong.

"Tell this province that the resettlement of new immigrants must be done well. I want them to know that Wallachia treats them no worse than other countries."

Just then, Jancu, the director of foreign affairs, came back.Mircea hastened to let him in.

"My lord, I have let you down."

As soon as he came in, Yancu said this.Mircea had been prepared for a long time, but when he actually heard the news, he was still a little shocked.

"They, do not agree to form an alliance with us?"

"Yes, Grand Duke, they said that they need to cultivate their health and rest, so they refused."

"Then, did you say that you would give them land in Bosnia and Serbia as compensation?"

"Say it, but they don't want to pick it up in person."

Well, Mircea understands everything.Hungary is to let you wait for him to get dressed, take him downstairs, bring him breakfast and then feed him into his mouth.

"It's too crazy, it's really..."

Mircea stood up and kept cursing Hungary and Sigismund.Relying on the fact that they need them, they charge sky-high prices. Do you know that this will make them lose the trust of Wallachia.

"In that case, you can only rely on yourself."

Since Hungary can't do it, we can only try Poland.Poland also has good cavalry and has Lithuania as a big ally, which is also a good choice.

"Grand Duke, the relationship between Poland and the Teutonic Knights is very tense now. I'm afraid they will only give superficial assistance and not send troops."

Seeing that Poland's road is not going to work, it can only rely on itself and a small principality.

"Gion Castriotti will lead 7000 troops to help out. This is probably our only ally."

All the ministers knew that this was the largest army that Castriotti could bring out. Although the principality under his rule was the strongest, it was only 6 the most powerful in the area.Even Serbia is bigger than him, so don't expect much from this little ally.

"Grand Duke, I have an idea." Adrian stood up and offered his words to the Grand Duke.

"Say it"

Mircea was determined to unite all forces against the Ottomans and to try anything that would increase the army.

"Does the Grand Duke know that in the territory of Lithuania and those barbarians, there are tribes with strong fighting power?"

"Tribe?" Mircea was a little puzzled.

"Yes, the people there have been fighting against the Lithuanian barbarians all year round, so they have strong combat effectiveness. They also have a cavalry. If this can be used by us, we will not be defeated in the war against the Ottomans."

Mircea thought carefully. Without a large ally, this is probably the best way.

"Also, the emperors of the Roman Empire were very fond of using northern mercenaries. They have proven themselves to be excellent fighters, and they only need money and food to make them effective."

Mircea was persuaded to hire some Cossacks to help him.After all, they are in the Golden Horde, so they should be easy to buy.

The border between Ottoman and Wallachia was constantly at odds. Sipahi would often rob people and property, and Wallachia would retaliate.However, Wallachia's cavalry construction still needs to continue to work hard, and the talents of the Turks still have to catch up.

As for Suleiman, the governor of Rumelia, he really changed a lot at the beginning, but it didn't take long for him to reveal his true colors, showing his lustful, cruel and other characteristics.He also squeezed the Orthodox Christians in the country, causing frequent internal protests for a while, and he also sent troops to counter the rebellion, continuing to maintain a false appearance.
