Chapter 40: Maximize Strategy and Internal Affairs Skill Points
Mircea took this opportunity to withdraw his army to Wallachia, but left an army at Kalafate, across the river from Vidin. Once Vidin changes, be able to act quickly.
Bayezid had already begun to return to the Balkans from Anatolia. Seeing this, Sigismund had no choice but to lead his troops back, no matter what the Bulgarian tsar said.
Mircea understood that he must continue to accumulate strength in order to gain a foothold in the Balkans. So reform must continue.
The artillery factory in Constanta is very busy, and the orders from the Grand Duke and the Lord have been queued up for three months.
In order to increase production, the cost of recruiting artillery craftsmen has been one-third higher than in other regions. This also led to an increase in the prices of industrial chain craftsmen 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 River.
After getting used to the prosperity of Prague and Brno, I was a little unaccustomed to the towns of Wallachia. But they had no way out. They would be in poverty when they returned to Bohemia anyway, so they might as well try their best here.
There was also progress on Murano Island in Venice. Several craftsmen who did not want to be here took advantage of the night and the guards were not paying attention and ran out in a small boat. Just when they were worried about where to go, people from the Chamber of Commerce found them and invited them to Wallachia.
Since there was no better option for a while, these craftsmen agreed to the request. Traveling to Eastern Europe with their technology.
Mircea put Duboniboyar in charge of the construction of a new capital city to rival Constantinople. Churches, castles, markets, and universities are all indispensable.
This is also because some Greek scholars came to Wallachia and were full of expectations for the castle they described, so they wanted to build it into a capital second only to the castle.
Mircea increased his emphasis on industry and commerce. He not only issued various laws and regulations to protect industrial and commercial workers, but also established nationwide temple fairs. This way they can also collect a tax on these days.
Mircea still thought of Peter, and he sent someone to Iasi to bring his son back. Hopefully he will bring more financial advice.
----Dividing line----
Peter also had nothing to do, and now he didn't need to worry about many things at all. However, the news coming back from Kemplonga made Peter think - who is he going to marry?
Logically speaking, marrying a princess of the Roman Empire is the best choice, as it can also inherit a large number of claims. But the problem is that there are almost no princesses in Rome.
John V's daughter had long since died, and Manuel's had not yet been born. Yes, that's right. Manuel did not marry until he succeeded to the throne, when he was already 40 years old.
It seems that Peter should marry the daughter of a local nobleman. At least that's what he thinks for now.
The trade with the Hanseatic League brought him a lot of profits, not only a large amount of gold coins. They managed to find British sheep. As long as they had money, there was nothing they couldn't do.
Just in time, he expanded the number of guards around him. Some people were reorganized and placed in other countries to deliver intelligence.
Like Ming Taizu's Jin Yiwei, Peter also set up an intelligence agency, and they operated in other countries under the name of the Chamber of Commerce.
They are carefully selected and loyal to their lord. To develop intelligence networks through bribery and other means, the Balkans, Hungary and Lithuania are the key directions.
"Sir, there is news from Vidin."
Peter opened the secret letter, and the content inside surprised him.
Form an alliance and ask other countries to rule. Isn't this the Prussian alliance routine under the Teutonic Knights?
However, my father was still hesitant, but he gave the alliance 1,000 gold coins. This shows that Vidin’s appeal is very strong.
"If they want Wallachia to rule so much, then help them!"
Peter also sent two thousand gold coins with 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 information.
The church in Transylvania is a folk belief. Because it was under the rule of Hungary, it formed a situation where the upper class rulers believed in Catholicism and the civilians believed in Orthodox Christianity.
Moreover, the Wallachians who believed in the Orthodox Church were oppressed by the Hungarians and Germans. Very few people actually made it to the superstructure, so Peter took advantage of this opportunity to have Wallachian writing and pro-Wallachian intentions privately promoted in Transylvania.
The church assumed the role of group leader, and in Cluj, some nobles and commoners began to unite under the leadership of the church to form an anti-Hungarian group.
After 1366, Hungary's oppression of the Wallachians became even more severe. Some nobles were also excluded from the governance system, so when the church resisted, they did not hesitate to join here.
Neither Peter nor Mircea felt that it was inappropriate to fall out with Hungary now. Before the outcome could be decided with Osman, he went to fight someone else, and this immediately encircled the net.
Currently, Wallachia has too few diplomatic skill points and cannot afford to engage in distant relations and close attacks. It also has too few military ability points, and it cannot afford Frederick's strategy of making all neighboring countries enemies. Therefore, we can only fill up the strategy and economic skill points first, and then focus on military defense, and protect ourselves first.
The boyar meeting also ran well, and various topics were discussed in the meeting room. Sometimes the quarrels would bring down the roof, but under the suppression of Peter and the meeting director, there was no trouble.
In previous meetings, Boyar also proposed some policies that would benefit Moldova. At the same time, the bishop also fully supported Peter, which was also grateful for the construction of the Iasi Cathedral. Naturally, some devout boyars also came to Peter's side.
Now Peter needs to wait for Moldova to develop, so that he can harvest a rear area rich in products and economically developed.
"Director, what do you think of this land?" Peter asked Bogdan, the meeting director.
"Sir, Moldova is a beautiful and fertile land with potential. You just need to put in the time, and you will gain a lot."
Bogdan is right, time is everything that drives development now. They've done enough.
