Chapter 186 Cannibalization
The King of Bosnia stood firmly with Hungary and paid a tribute of 10,000 gold coins every year in exchange for the other party's protection. But now that Hungary can't even protect itself, how can it protect him?
Bosnia also joined Serbia's anti-Variety alliance, but none of the surrounding powers were interested. It was impossible for them to defeat each other with just the two of them and a pagan country.
In this case, it was Wallachia's turn to take action. On the grounds of anti-Variety alliance, war can be waged against it, and the validity period is permanent. Results of use: annexation, land cession, compensation, etc.
But annexation is not the most important thing now. What is really important is that Peter's sister, Mary of Wallachia, married Laszlo, King of Naples.
The dowry prepared by Peter and Mircea for Mary was also very generous. Together, the various gifts were worth more than 300,000 Venetian ducats. Including silk, spices, ivory, etc., they are all rare luxuries, which shows that Wallachia also attaches great importance to this marriage.
The ship docked at the port of Durachion, and Mary reluctantly bid farewell to her mother, Lady Maria, and boarded the ship to Naples, accompanied by more than 200 people including maids, priests, and diplomats. The largest dowry group in Wallachia, Mary also became the princess who married the highest-status man in Wallachia.
Mihai and the bride in Moscow also chose a date to hold their wedding, and the engagement between Vlad and Anne was also agreed to with Wenzel's continued efforts. In addition to Bohemia and Brandenburg, all the territories of the Luxembourg family after their extinction also belong to the Bartland family. Such an agreement is really very generous, and the bride will also be sent to Bukur Yesti on a certain date. This is not only to protect Anne's safety, but also to give a great gift to his good brother. Since he has suffered so much, Sigismund cannot even think about having an easy time.
There were more and more refugees in Hungary, but the government and aristocrats not only did not help them, but instead raised the price of food, which greatly affected the country's wealth. The anger of the farmers had reached its peak. Finally, in the winter of this year, the bankrupt Hungarian aristocrat Sayav Jo A peasant uprising led by Yis broke out in Pécs and quickly spread to other places.
Sigismund asked the great nobles for soldiers and money. In return, Sigismund issued a peasant decree, which stipulated that peasants must work permanently on the land of the landlord and were not allowed to move freely; every week required Serve four days for the landlord; after the death of the peasant, the landlord has the right to receive one-third to one-half of the property; the landlord can buy and sell serfs at will, etc. These terms have protected the interests of the big landowners and nobles. At this point, Sigis Mond finally gathered enough 11,000 troops to suppress the uprising.
Hungary was internally unstable. Archduke Mary, who had stayed in Cluj for nearly two years, felt it was time. So after receiving news of the rebel army asking for help, she ordered 3,000 troops to cross the Tisza River to attack. The target was the northern town of Pozzoni.
Maybe it was God who felt that Hungary was not chaotic enough, so he added fuel to the fire. The nobles in the Croatian region decided to end the co-ownership alliance with Hungary that had been formed for hundreds of years and elected their own king Louis I. The Kingdom of Croatia Declared established.
The result of the four-party chaos was to let Wallachia watch the show quietly and continue to expand its territory. At this time, annexing Serbia was the opportunity. Peter ordered the four legions and the Cossacks to quickly advance to the Serbian capital Smederevo, and at the same time let the Archduke Use Serbia's formation of an anti-Venetian alliance as an excuse to avoid sending troops without reason.
At this time, the Wallachian Navy came out again. They assembled 4,000 soldiers and more than 200 large and small ships from the Danube River into the Morava River. The defenders of Smederevo were frightened when they saw this, and quickly reported it to King Bu Rankovich.
Blancovich felt that the day had finally come. He put on his armor, climbed the city wall, and delivered his final speech to the defenders and citizens.
"If God does not have mercy on Serbia, then use our blood and lives to let those enemies know that Serbia will never perish. Even if our bodies are destroyed, our deeds will be remembered forever."
The brutal siege began. The Wallachian army used artillery and trebuchets to attack, and the defenders responded with bows and arrows. Wallachia surrounded the place from both land and water, and they had a lot of time to waste.
After attacking for five days, Archduke Mircea declared war on Serbia on the grounds that Serbia had formed an anti-Venetian alliance. Then Peter's army quickly set off from Krusevac and attacked north. It was overwhelming along the way. Some castles surrendered directly. Even if Dushan Resurrection from the dead will not help.
The King of Bosnia did send 2,000 troops, but they only sneaked around the border and returned. It seems that they also knew that it was not good to offend Wallachia.
With no war preparations or reinforcements inside, Smederevo desperately held on for seven days. On the twelfth day after the siege began, the city was broken, Branković died in the battle, and only the old, weak, women and children were left in the city. 900 people, Serbia, a country that gained independence in 1190, perished after experiencing a cycle of prosperity and decline, and was founded 206 years ago.
After the capital was captured, other places surrendered as resistance no longer made sense. After swallowing this place, Wallachia gradually extended its hands into Central Europe, and Hungary and Bosnia were his next targets.
Victories one after another made the people of Wallachia excited. Coupled with the guidance of the church and the university, they felt that the Bartland family was the chosen one, the angels sent by God to the world to save them. They must work closely together. Unite around the Bartland family and bring Wallachia to glory.
Mircea began to rewrite the history of his family. His ancestor Basarab was a leader with wisdom and courage. He led the people of Wallachia to defeat Hungary and gain independence. The subsequent Grand Dukes also devoted themselves to the work of defending the new country. Their efforts laid the foundation for the current expansion. By his generation, Wallachia began to rise. In a few years, Wallachia's area reached its highest peak after swallowing land, expanding greatly, and violently defeating the Ottomans. And this peak is still growing.
Mircea continued to deify the family with the help of the church. They were higher than those in Constantinople in the hearts of Orthodox Christians. Some people were even ready to support the Bartlan family and dethrone Palaiologos. Anyway, their heirs and If the marriage between the Palaiologos family is completed, then those men will be useless.
This is not the idea of one noble family, but the idea of many noble families. Now that Basilius is in decline, it is better to abolish it and establish a new king. This way they can also ask for a reward, but depending on the **** things they do, prison, monastery or hell It's also possible.
