Chapter 141 The Great Victory

As one of the successors of Rome, Wallachia will naturally carry the banner after the decline of Eastern Rome.This is not only for Eastern pagans, but also for Western heretics.

Serbia is also obedient, and quickly succumbed to Wallachia's coercion. It paid 40000 gold coins per year in exchange for continuing to live in this world, and at the same time sold some land to Wallachia at this year's tribute price. Asia, including Krusevac.It is only a day or two away from Nis, so it is easy to be quickly captured by the opponent.

In recent years, the situation in the Balkans has become increasingly unclear.Who would have thought that Ottoman, who was originally the overlord of the Balkans, now only has a small area along the coast.Instead, it is a country they have never heard of, why don't they ask about it?
So all sorts of people started in Wallachia, either doing business or looking for news.Fight for this place to achieve your own or the goals of the country behind them.

Successive victories made Mircea decide to imitate the emperor of Rome and hold a triumphal ceremony in the capital.After all, Wallachia is also considered the heir to part of the Roman heritage, so there is no problem in holding a Roman triumph.

And Peter also chose a place in the capital to build a triumphal arch, which was built for the victory of Wallachia, so it must be tall and magnificent.He wants the public to see that the prosperity of Wallachia is inseparable from the Butlan family.Without Butran, Wallachia's fate is uncertain.

There's something heroic about that, but in the Middle Ages, there was really no problem with that.Only with a steady stream of victories can the family survive for a long time and continue to promote the implementation of its own policies.

"Send people to check the population and acres of land on the new land immediately. I need to get exact data."

Peter issued orders to everyone in the Senate, and the past few years of his career as governor made his political methods more and more flexible.The status of co-governor guarantees his participation in the formulation of national decision-making. When the Grand Duke is away, he will govern 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. For this reason, most of the policies are tilted towards farmers.

"Your Highness, more than 2 people immigrated to Moldova from Lithuania and Poland this month, and have been resettled in Iasi, Suceava and Uxhall."

"It's still the same sentence, food, seeds, and agricultural tools must be prepared for them, and they only need to pay back with food in the coming year."

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

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

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

Peter blocked the mouth of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He also knew that the policy at the top would change if it was put at the bottom, and there would be conflicts between the technocrats and the local nobles, but fortunately the church was on his side, and the peasants and serfs were the most pious believers.

According to Petkov's intelligence network, the implementation of the policy in Moldova and Bulgaria is relatively good, and Wallachia is somewhat uneven, because the boyars in some places do not cooperate.They can't imagine these untouchables gaining a lot of wealth, and they don't want to see people they don't know govern the place. They feel that their rights are violated.

The education system in Wallachia is just in its infancy, unlike the thousands of years in the East.Moreover, the bureaucratic level of selection is not the same, so the selection and monitoring mechanism for officials must be established as soon as possible.

Leaving the State Council, Peter came to the training ground, where his younger brother Mihai and Castriotti's son Stanissa were receiving sword training.

"Looks like he's settled in here"

Now Castriotti has become a vassal of Wallachia, and this heir is also a nobleman of Wallachia, so there is no need to treat him differently.And it won't be long before his father will come here to reunite with him.

"The foundations in Kosovo and Macedonia are currently unstable, and we must closely monitor anyone who may destroy them." Peter said to Petkov next to him.

"Yes"

Half a month later, Mircea led the army back to Bukuryeshti.Residents lined the street and cheered them on, thanking the Grand Duke for the service he and the soldiers had made.If it weren't for their protection, Wallachia would probably be Ottoman's territory.

The Grand Duke Mircea rode in front, and the soldiers walked behind.Behind them are the trophies they obtained on the battlefield, including 250 carts of precious statues, paintings and other works of art, 77 boxes of gold coins, and 750 boxes of silver coins.As for other gold and silver utensils, weapons and wealth seized, there are countless.Most of these spoils, except for rewarding soldiers and falling into the private pockets of commanders, were turned over to the state treasury.

After the procession of carrying the spoils came the procession of captives.From Sipahi to ordinary soldiers, the most shocking thing is that there is also a royal flag of the Ottoman Sultan. Maybe Bayezid left too fast and forgot to take it, so Wallachia took it .

The appearance of the enemy's flag among the trophies is undoubtedly the best proof that the enemy army has indeed been routed.And the voices of the people rose again.

Afterwards, Mircea came to the church, and Patriarch Carol personally greeted him and congratulated him on his victory in the battle against the pagans.The whole triumphant ceremony was officially over.

A grand banquet followed, with the presence of nobles, officials, and foreign guests.Meat, spices are constantly on the market, and even peacocks, the most exotic and expensive things in Europe can be found here.This made one marvel at Wallachia's wealth, and at the same time a little envious.Why are these not your own?
"Everyone, God created Wallachia because he has a special mission. He is a warrior who defends God. He is destined to fight against heretics."

At this moment, Peter shouted from the side, "Long live Grand Duke Mircea!"

"Long live Grand Duke Mircea!"

"Long live the Grand Duke!"

The Grand Duke of Mircea said, "Long live Wallachia," and the nobles began to shout again.Loud enough to knock the roof off.

After Peter's propaganda and Mircea's triumph, most of Europe knew that Wallachia had once again defeated Ottoman.They began to improve their relationship again, striving to bring 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 people of the Hanseatic League because they didn't ask for anything else, they just did business honestly.
