Chapter 78 Inspection and Play
The Catholic Church did not protest at all against Peter's drastic measures, because the protests were all driven away.
Mircea also adopted the same approach. Protests could be punished in the lightest way, or executed in the worst case. At the same time, it relies on religion and division to stabilize the political situation, and obtaining the title of Duke also indicates that Wallachia should upgrade.
But Mircea had to wait for an important moment, because his target was no longer the king. But Constantinople.
Mircea also embarked on a tour, preparing to visit first Wallachia, then Moldova, and finally Bulgaria.
Of course he had to cruise around this great river and mountains before he could stabilize himself and handle some big things.
Moreover, this time he brought his whole family with him. Prepare for a family parade to show each member's face. Before leaving, he entrusted Prime Minister Angel to take charge of daily affairs, and the code work would not be left behind to ensure that the work would not be delayed.
Starting from Kemplonga, they headed east to check out Dobroga, then north into Moldova. There were cheers everywhere he went, as citizens and landowners welcomed the Duke who had brought them victory and prosperity, and wished him good health and long life.
Following the Danube River you reach Dobroga, which is no longer the sparsely populated place it was before. There are fields and working farmers everywhere, and traveling business travelers also use the Danube for trade.
"Father, look..."
Mihai was the noisiest, and it took a lot of effort from Lady Maria to get him to calm down. But the nature of children still makes Mihai curious about the world in front of him.
"Okay, sit down quickly, what are you doing like this?" Mrs. Maria quickly scolded.
Soon the convoy arrived at Constanta, a city that soon attracted everyone's attention because it was so prosperous.
"May God be with you, the invincible Grand Duke of Wallachia." Boris, the civil affairs director, stood at the city gate to welcome the Grand Duke.
"Well", after Mircea found out, he began to visit the land sealed for Peter.
From the city to the city, everything is in order. The houses are well-proportioned and the roads paved with gravel and slates add to the beauty.
Mircea looked at the city and marveled. "It's such a beautiful city. I thought Peter wouldn't be able to endure hardship, but he didn't expect it to happen."
"You still talk about this, and you don't know how much my child has suffered outside."
Mrs. Maria said beside her, she felt very sorry for Peter. Such a young child was appointed by his father to Dobroga, Moldova, and then Bulgaria. There is no free moment. He is still so young, so why is he busier than some adults?
Mircea was a little embarrassed, but he had to do it. After the peace treaty was signed, the Grand Duke understood that without Peter, Wallachia would have been conquered by the Ottomans.
"Okay, okay, let's go look elsewhere."
"yes"
The Grand Duke took his wife to other places, and the cultural atmosphere of Constanta also made him feel novel. Because he found a lot of oriental books at Constanta University, and after asking the teacher, he said that these were collected by the lord. The purpose is to expand knowledge.
"This is truly magical," the Archduke said to himself.
Mrs. Maria looked at the place where Peter usually lived. Peter usually didn't like gorgeous decorations, so the room was a bit simple. There are only carpets made of silk, hunting trophies, animal heads, etc.
"Is this kid out of money?"
At this time, Mrs. Maria was a mother who was worried about her children's life outside the home. She felt that Peter's living environment was really bad.
"Don't worry, madam. You are living well here."
The people on the side explained to the wife Peter's life. Although it was only a few years, Peter lived like this. He also likes luxury goods, but not the arrogant ones, but the low-key ones.
Seeing this, Mrs. Maria could only give up. But I had already decided in my heart to find a wife for Peter so that he could settle down.
Mircea happened to have told her about the marriage between the Eastern Roman Empire and Wallachia before, so maybe this would be okay.
Afterwards, Mircea took Mihai to the training ground, where the officers told the Grand Duke about Peter's situation here. In his mouth, Peter could use any weapon and used it well.
This made Mihai very angry. He said that he could do it too, but he was too young, so he was declined. This made him angry for a long time.
----Dividing line----
In addition to dealing with political affairs, Peter also has spare time. He likes to raise eagles. In his spare time, he rides horses to the countryside to accompany the eagles.
There are more than 20 eagles in Peter's eagle house and there are staff to take care of them. Their annual salary ranges from 20 lei to 180 lei. Therefore, many people apply for jobs just to get room for advancement.
On this day, Peter took his eagle and ran wildly in the countryside. All worries are gone. Sure enough, exercise is beneficial.
The guards behind also rode to catch up. They knew that the adults would have to play wildly for a whole day before going back. It was called exercise.
An eagle flew and landed on Peter's shoulder, and Peter learned the joy of this game.
"My lord" rode quickly towards Peter on horseback.
Peter paused, and then the attendant handed Peter a letter.
"Letter from Constanta, my lord."
Peter took a quick look and saw that it was his father who came with his family.
"Tell them that they must not neglect the Grand Duke's arrival."
"yes"
Later, Peter asked about the Roman envoy. Naturally, he also knew about the marriage.
"Who did they choose to marry me?"
"She is the niece of the Roman Emperor and the only daughter of the Despot of Morea."
"The Despot of Morea?" Peter thought carefully about who the Despot was at this time. Unfortunately, there was too little information and he had no impression at all.
The current Despot Theodore can be regarded as someone who wanted to make a difference in the Palaeolian dynasty. During his rule in Morea, he encouraged reclamation and trained the army. He was also the only royal member who was tough on Ottoman. Therefore, he became Ottoman A thorn in his side, he almost died on the battlefield. Later, there were no male heirs and Morea was transferred to Constantine XI, the last emperor of Rome.
His daughter Sophia was originally to be married to Bayezid's eldest son Suleiman, but it is still unclear who will win.
"Go and see if you get a chance," Peter said to himself.
Then, he galloped wildly into the distance. Didn't come back until sunset.
