Chapter 190 Joint Plan
Since this action was planned and prepared by Peter, it can only be regarded as his private action and will not rise to the national level.

Now the whole of Hungary has become an isolated island in Europe. The economy is bankrupt, political turmoil, and the nobles already have independent thoughts. If they want to annex this place in the future, they have to do it.

They will set off from Belgrade and attack north, but the ultimate goal is not the capital Buda, but the northern town of Pozzoni.

Peter knew that now was not the time to annex Hungary.Take the northern region first, and then gradually erode it. Maybe Sigismund will give up here directly. After all, he has lost half of the land. What benefits does he still have here.

Moreover, taking advantage of Hungary's downturn, nobles from many surrounding countries bought local land with gold coins.Peter also took out one-third of the funds to see how much he could buy, not to plunder their assets and pay so much today. Really, those things bought from Hungary can only be sold to Shinra and Castile in a detour Ya, everything else is on sale.He would be at a loss if he didn't recover his losses from Hungary, and he never traded at a loss.

----split line----

Theodore came to Bukuriesti.

He came this time to gain more support from Wallachia. Now Moreia has exploded, and the original system can no longer adapt to the rapid expansion. In addition, his emperor brother began to exert pressure. He can only Find assistance from in-laws.

He went to see Sophia. She was doing well these days, but she missed her husband too much.

The most important thing for Sophia now is to give birth to an heir, which is also what Mrs. Maria attaches great importance to.But she couldn't call her son back, so she thought about letting her daughter-in-law go to be with him, and it should be fine after a while.

When Theodore and Mircea met, Theodore greeted them as soon as they came up, and the atmosphere quickly became harmonious, just like a family gathering.

"Have you been busy recently?"

"It's okay, it's just that the homeland has been regained, so it's inevitable that I will miss it."

Larissa and Athens used to belong to the Roman Empire. Now that they are back, some sadness and longing will naturally come out.

"I miss these places, so naturally I also miss Anatolia, Egypt, and Sicily, right?"

Mircea suddenly mentioned these places, and Theodore didn't know how to answer for a while, after all, these places have been lost for 200 years.

"Now that Ottoman has been repulsed and a lot of land has been recovered, these places will come back sooner or later. It's just that the two countries need to face it together. I wonder if you are willing?"

Such blunt words almost made Theodore slip. He never thought that what Wallachia wanted was not only an alliance, but also something else.

"Think about it, we have ruled almost the entire Balkans, not only here, Anatolia, Syria, Jerusalem, Sicily, Egypt, these will come back one day, don't you want to give up such an opportunity and go to the hard-won to the ineffective nobles of Constantinople?"

"They enjoy our achievements, but are unwilling to give a little wealth. Such nobles, don't mind."

Mircea said viciously, and Theodore even broke out in a cold sweat. He was very aware of the methods of this in-law and his son-in-law, and the nobles who had been cut by at least three figures in recent years.And the nobles in Constantinople are greedy, ignorant, and ignorant, they only know their own property, and forget their missions. The truth of the disk.

To be honest, he has no feeling for the change of dynasty. In the crumbling ship of the Roman Empire, no one thinks about how to repair it, but how to preserve their own property.When the Ottoman Empire declared to the Eastern Roman courtiers that they respected their private property rights, they all believed it and submitted to the conqueror.

Within the Eastern Roman Empire, court struggles continued, local forces were divided, nobles were corrupt and lustful, and the upper class of society was clearly divided into pro-Pontiffs (or pro-Western European factions), pro-Ottoman factions, and those who opposed both Western Europe and the Pope. They also oppose the Orthodox Church of the Ottoman Empire, intrigue and incompatible with each other, so that some people think that it is unacceptable for the Eastern Roman Empire to survive.

That being the case, why not find a ruler who can bring hope to Rome's prosperity, just like Alexios did hundreds of years ago, pulling the Roman Empire from the brink of danger.And Wallachia also needed the identity of the Roman Empire to enhance its prestige and gain international status.Although they were once part of the Roman Empire, it was thousands of years ago, so Mircea needed a status boost like Charlemagne.The best is the Roman Empire.

"I don't know what the consequences will be, but I know that Basilius will not accept your offer."

"I don't expect them to accept, after all, their options are running out, unless they are willing to risk excommunication and go to Rome and Paris."

Theodore didn't have any opinions, and he didn't dare to have any opinions. If it weren't for his daughter today, he might have explained here.Even if it wants to resist, the size of Morea is not comparable to that of Wallachia.Therefore, he had only one way to agree.

However, this strategy of forcing the palace has also given enough benefits, such as unified tariffs, a fee of 20 silver lei, and closer cooperation.Anyway, I don't have a son, so I don't have to worry about inheritance.

The Grand Duke Mircea of ​​Wallachia and Theodore the Morea Despot signed a treaty in Bukuriesti. In addition to the above conditions, Moreia also leased the port of Piraeus in Athens to Wallachia When Wallachia sent troops, Morea had to provide soldiers to fight, or part of the money.

The sudden approach of the two countries made Venice very nervous. The local governor of Venice sent people to inquire about the news, but there was nothing. It was such a treaty, and some Venetian families made a lot of money in Wallachia. They did not want to see Such a report was suppressed in every possible way.

More and more trade was carried out by Wallachian merchants and Greek merchants, and Venice could only participate in providing transportation services.As a result, this transportation service is also being taken away by Wallachia, and Antonio, the governor of Venice, has begun to think about how to counter it.Excluding the last means of war, there is only a trade embargo, but even this has encountered problems recently.

Because of the counterfeit currency incident in Hungary, some Venetian merchants also suffered heavy losses. They withdrew money from the bank. As a result, the bank couldn't bear it. The small bank went bankrupt directly, and half of Venice was affected to varying degrees. Cut naval costs, just prepare for expansion on land to divert attention.
