Chapter 150 Army Architecture and Strategy

As Bukuriesti developed, some travelers from Italy and Hungary came here, admiring the sights and writing praises of the city.

Of course, some of these travelers were spies sent by their country.They are here to investigate the situation of the government or the ruler, and then send the news back to let their country take countermeasures.

Spies are very common in various countries. They all want to know the first-hand news. For example, the spies Peter asked Petkov to train are very active in the Balkans and Hungary. They have special connection codes and methods, and send back The speed of the news is also the fastest, and the loyalty to Wallachia is also absolute.

Petkov will receive some information every day, select from it and hand it over to Peter, and Peter will decide what to do next based on these situations.

After Ottoman's defeat, some Catholic rulers, such as the king of Cyprus and the Duke of Chandia, began to form their own crusades in an attempt to further expand their sphere of influence, but were severely beaten by Ottoman.

Just a joke, I can't beat Wallachia, and I can't beat you, what are you.

After packing up the offal, Bayezid began planning for the Eastern Expedition.He planned to recruit about [-] troops in Anatolia, with the goal of completely annexing the remaining Turkic countries.

Regarding Wallachia, Sultan reluctantly took out some treasures to establish a good relationship with Wallachia.He is really afraid of this country. Although there are no spikes, he still feels scared. Unless Allah shows up or the other party blows himself up, he is unwilling to step into this country.

As for the culprit of the second war, Prince Suleiman was directly imprisoned.If the Grand Vizier and his mother hadn't offered to commit crimes and meritorious service, he would have been imprisoned to death.This time, he has learned how to behave, and he will never take the risk of advancing lightly, otherwise he will lose his troops and lose his generals, and he dare not think about the end.

Peter continued to improve military architecture and weapons tactics, and bastions were extended to the southern and northern borders.This kind of city defense technology can maximize the attack power of the enemy. There will also be a large amount of gunpowder, firearms, food and drinking water stored in the castle. When the enemy breaks in, there will be a flamethrower so that they can never return.

There was a renewed emphasis on crossbow bolts as a supplement to firearms, especially bed crossbows.The Ottoman cavalry is mainly light cavalry, and bed crossbows can easily cause damage to them.When the cavalry is close to ranged units, surround the bed crossbow transports side by side so that they cannot attack and will only be slaughtered by them.

The recruitment and construction of the new army went smoothly. Under the temptation of military merits, many peasants joined the ranks of the army.Received their equipment through the arsenal, then trained hard, and then became a standing army.

Mircea also unified the uniforms of the army, and their clothing was all black.At first glance, it looks like the army of death is coming. For this reason, people from other Balkan countries call the Wallachian army the Black Army.It can be said that this is the most powerful army in the Balkans.

The large phalanx also continued, and Peter increased the number of musketeers.And equipped with more cavalry to protect the flanks, and emphasized discipline, and did not allow the bad habits of mercenaries.Although it is difficult, at least listen to the commanding officer.

Mihai was also confused by what Peter said. Originally, he had only dreamed of fighting on horseback, and now he had one more dream, which was to explore the golden east.

O enchanted Orient, full of gold and spices, where riches are inexhaustible.

Mihai directly clamored to explore the East, but his marriage contract with Moscow directly restricted his ideals.I was annoyed by this for a while.

However, Mircea is now a little sad.Because Mihai and the others will grow up one day, so what should be given to them, it is impossible to support them for a lifetime.

Enfeoffing land also violates the practice of centralization. The best option is to enfeoff them to the border areas, expand their own territories, or join the civilian government.

At the beginning, Peter wanted Mihai to be the governor of Venice, but later he thought it would be fine to let him be a civil servant or a general, or let him be a ruler abroad to open up territories by himself.

However, brothers still have to be careful in order to secure themselves and their descendants forever.After all, are there still few emperors killed by their relatives in history?The Roman-style loving father and son filial piety do not want to repeat itself, but it is inevitable.A puzzle was born, and it took Peter decades to solve.

After judging the papers, a total of 73 people were selected by the University of Constanta. They will go to the capital to be appointed, and then go to the local area to serve as county magistrates and other positions.And those who have not passed the test can only wait for the next time.

Of these, twelve were Hungarian and Genoese, two were Turks, one was Ruthenian, and the others were Wallachians.And those aliens are also very fluent in Wallachian, and they all believe in the Orthodox Church, at least reassuring on the surface.

And those who have not, either wait for the next time, or give up, and focus on other aspects, such as art, business, overseas adventures, etc.Anyway, I can't go back, so I can just stay here.

Going to Crimea is also a good choice. Although the quality of life is poor, you can get land and qualifications there, and you may be favored by the government.Moreover, the local geographical location is also good, and it is quite profitable to engage in resale trade or other industries.

Wallachia is gradually expanding the scope of control of Crimea, relying on the Cossacks to drive out the local Tatar tribes.And it is still advancing in a gradual way.In the center of Crimea, a town centered on Andrei Cathedral was established, and this opened a new chapter in Crimea.

With the support of Wallachia, the Cossack tribe began to grow gradually. Some military organizations appeared in them, and the army commanders were elected through elections, and these people formed the Cossack Supreme Military Council to command their own troops.Peter recruited some Cossacks into the army and was responsible for defending the northern border.While trade with the tribes facilitated feudalization, they began to gradually make their way to a nation.For this reason, they planned to build a city near the mouth of the Dnieper River as an administrative center, so that they could gradually expand.

Peter was happy to see that, and now there was a double-headed eagle on every step of his path.The relationship between him and the Cossacks was exploited. The Cossacks were brave, and he used these people as thugs to destroy and plunder the enemy's country.Moreover, Wallachia's low-priced food also made them dependent. Most of their trade was with Wallachia, and very little happened with Poland and Lithuania.More importantly, they believed in Orthodox Christianity, not Catholicism, and Wallachia was slightly better at the religious level.
