Chapter 152 Noble Rebellion
Wallachia not only has a glamorous side, but various conspiracies are also growing in the dark.Unwilling to lose their privileges, nobles conspired in Krusevac.

The official rank table damaged the political power of the nobles, and local reforms damaged their local privileges.The originally good enfeoffment of nobles has become centralized, and the change is so fast that the anger accumulated by the nobles is increasing.In the end, they will leave Wallachia and return to the previous state of separatism.

It is not enough to rely on them alone, they must have foreign aid.So, Hungary came to power again.

Sigismund also saw this force in Wallachia and decided to help them.So they sent someone to contact secretly, and the nobles also promised that as long as they succeeded, they would pledge their allegiance to Hungary.

How about Hungary, the nobles perform their duties, they do less and pay more and are closer to home, which is much better than the current situation in Wallachia.This is also the life they most yearn for.

"Everyone, it's up to us whether we can restore our past life."

A Serbian nobleman stood up and said to the nobles that their family was originally a well-known local nobleman, and Wallachia began to deprive them of their political power as soon as they came. Is this going to get rid of them and do it alone?
Without them, those barbarians in Wallachia still want to rule here, dreaming?They want to make this ruler regret their decision.

They planned to occupy Krusevac with the army they recruited first, then go south to attack Nis, and then go north to open a channel with Hungary to get assistance.In the end, he joined forces with the Bulgarian nobles and went to Bukuryeshti to report his interests to the Grand Duke.Force the Grand Dukes to recognize their power so they too can remain loyal, but if they don't, then go independent.

The plan is perfect, but the premise is that so many cities can be captured in one go.And the army in their hands is up to 2000 people, including 500 mercenaries sent to them by Sigismund.

Since Krusevac is a newly ceded land from Serbia and Wallachia has not yet reformed it, the nobility is very powerful.They quickly occupied various places in the city, killed the officials and bishops sent by Wallachia, and announced their separation from Wallachia.

Not only in Krusevac, but also in Serbian cities such as Nis, Skopje, and Pristina, there were aristocratic riots. The aristocratic rebellion in Turvorno was quickly suppressed by the defenders.But the stability of the country is reduced by 10%.

"How dare they, how dare they..."

When Mircea heard the news, he was very angry. Although he was somewhat unkind to the nobles, their lands and properties were not confiscated, and he also rewarded a lot of treasures, and they returned him in this way.

The aristocratic rebellion was fierce this time, and the entire Serbia and Macedonia region began to be in chaos.Moreover, Serbia, Hungary, and Ottoman will definitely intervene. If it cannot be resolved quickly, the good situation that has been established with great difficulty will disappear.

"How is the situation now?"

"The rebels have already occupied Krusevac and sent troops to attack Nis. Fortunately, the city of Nis is well-defended, which prevented them from succeeding."

"It seems that they are planning to restore that Serbia. What's happening in Hungary?"

"No, the King of Hungary has turned his attention to the west. But it does not rule out that he is secretly supporting the rebels."

Don't rule it out, it is 100%.It would be a big joke if Sigismund didn't intervene, and what was lost would have to be recovered from Wallachia.

"Father, here I am."

When Peter heard the news of the nobles' rebellion, he couldn't care less about being intimate with Sophia. After a hasty farewell, he came to the office to discuss countermeasures.

"You're here, look at these people, it's unreasonable."

Peter also understood the ins and outs. The main force of this rebellion was the nobles of Serbia. Bulgaria was relatively honest, but there were still some restless ones.In addition, Sipahi looted areas near the Ottoman border, and Wallachia was already in jeopardy.

"This rebellion was unexpected, but it is reasonable, because most of them are in Macedonia and Kosovo. As long as this is defeated, the rebellion in other places will be simple."

"Your Highness, the army we can muster now is only 2 people. If we want to wait for other troops to arrive, we will have to wait at least two months."

Adrian mentioned the current military deployment. This incident happened just after the expansion of the new army, and many soldiers went back to farm. Can they win in this situation?
"As long as Nis does not fall, we have a chance of winning. They must attack Nis to the south to divert attention, and then go north to open up land passages with Serbia and Hungary."

Peter expressed his thoughts. At present, Ottoman has already moved eastward, and there will be no action in a short time. Hungary is the biggest backer of these rebels, but Sigismund is another fool.As long as these nobles are eliminated, he will obediently retreat to Hungary.

"The speed must be fast now, and it will change over time."

Mircea finally made up his mind. He transferred his small troops to Serbia, and ordered Peter to be the commander and Adrian as the deputy general, striving to wipe out the rebels as soon as possible.

Peter also transferred two legions to help out, while keeping Constantine on Osman.Before leaving, he bid farewell to Sofia.

"I don't know what will come back, but I miss you every day on the battlefield."

"Me too"

Sophia handed her handkerchief to Peter, and Peter also rode a horse to officially counter the rebellion.

After the nobles rebelled, the Wallachian patriarch Carol came out first.He announced the excommunication of all rebellious nobles, which initially cost them the support of the devout.

In Nis, however, the rebels fought unsuccessfully for seven consecutive days.The rebels in the city were discovered when they opened the city gate, and they could only attack by force.

The scope of the impact this time includes the whole of Macedonia and the Serbian region of Wallachia.These places are mountainous, so it is not easy for cavalry to travel, and it is difficult to transport heavy weapons such as artillery.These difficulties trapped Adrian, and Peter was also stumped at first, but due to the implementation of the officer list and the reward mechanism, many people transported supplies to the front line.Businessmen also pay for transportation, which reduces the pressure on logistics.

The nobles in Bulgaria were quickly captured. This place was no different than Serbia. The army was captured by the local garrison not long after crossing the river. However, because of their rebellion, the law and order in many towns declined, and it would take a lot of time to recover.

The tsar was able to live well, and he did not join this rebellion, but all his children were betrothed by the grand duke to ordinary people, so his descendants were not eligible to join the battle for the throne.Just leave him happy.
