Chapter 27
Constantine led the army to continue to clear the surrounding disobedient manors and castles, ensuring Ackerman's safety.

At the same time, Peter also issued a notice to calm the people, so that the merchants and people in the city could feel at ease and engage in production.However, because of the war, the trade from Lithuania has been interrupted, but the sea transportation is still there.The situation also quickly stabilized.

Breaking through the fortress in one day made many people praise him.But Peter is only trying to maintain the local order, as for the rest, leave it to his father.

At this time, Mircea had also led his army to Iasi, an important town in central Moldova. Seeing the attack of the army, the defenders quickly surrendered.

At this time, there were already 7 boyars around Mircea. They were all Moldovan opponents, and they were suppressed because they opposed Roman in the previous elections.Now, it's time for their revenge.

"My lord, we all support you as the sole ruler of Moldova."

Several boyars jointly elected Mircea as the Grand Duke of Moldova, but Mircea understood that it was not time to celebrate, and he had to win Suceava.

And at this moment, the news of Peter came to Mircea's hands in a hurry along with Babaili.

"What, Ackerman was captured in one day?"

"Yes, Grand Duke, you didn't have a way to see your lord, and you directly let the city wall collapse without a single soldier."

The messenger became more and more miraculous, and Mircea didn't know what method Peter used.But it must be true to break the fortress one day.

"In that case" Mircea thought for a moment and said, "Go back immediately and let Peter come to Iasi quickly, and I will give him full authority to deal with anything."

"Yes"

Mircea understands that if he can't mess up his rear, he must put someone he trusts in charge, and Peter is someone he trusts.The capture of Ackerman Fortress and the governance of Dobroja have proved that he has sufficient governance and military capabilities. Mircea must be assured that he will be in charge of the management.

After taking Iasi, Mircea put part of the army here, and all the rest went to Suceava together.

The boyars who stayed in Suceava also panicked. They were afraid that Mircea's army would come, and they also prayed that Roman would come back quickly with the army.

Roman's son Stefan was elected by Boyar to be responsible for the defense of Suceava and the domestic army.As soon as he took office, he began a large-scale conscription, which made it impossible for farmers to plow in the spring.

But these strong men obviously couldn't stop Mircea's footsteps, and pushed many farmers to each other.

And Mircea also took out his own three-axes. He directly announced that Moldova would be exempted from tax for one to three years according to the degree of war damage.

This is a bad move. Although there will be certain economic losses, it has won the hearts of many people.

And the other trick is the same old one: anyone who stands in the way of an army will be reduced to ashes.This is considered intimidation, but the effect is remarkable. In addition, there are very few feudal lords. It took less than three days for the army to arrive at the city of Suceava.

Mircea didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked him to surrender, but Stefan directly refused.Because he had received news before that that the army led by Grand Duke Roman had entered Moldova and would arrive in Suceava in a few days, so the tone he sent was the same as that of Ackerman.

That being the case, Mircea could only order the siege.He ordered the artillery to come out, but they could only do little damage.He ordered the long-range troops to fire bows and arrows to kill many people, but when the soldiers approached, the defenders threw the stones in their hands, and the soldiers below went directly to God.

However, there are only 3000 people in the city of Suceava.After Mircea ordered the cavalry to capture several surrounding villages, the city became an isolated city.

----split line----

The distance between Ackerman and Iasi is more than 240 kilometers, so it is already the third day when Peter receives the order from Mircea.

"Father wants me to go to Iasi to control the situation?"

"Yes, my lord, the Grand Duke personally called you by name."

Peter knew that this was a task his father had given him, and he must complete it.

"Understood, let Alexandru go first with the cavalry, and I will arrive later."

Alexandru, another general promoted by Peter, has an estate near Tulcea.He later took charge after the Kilia deal.

This siege also allowed Peter to earn a lot of money. The trophies of the dead defenders alone were worth as much as 8000 ducats.According to estimates, there should be 3 ducats in the gold coins in Ackerman's vault.

These gold coins were kept to be sent to Vasdi Waw, and after the capture here, the Wallachia Chamber of Commerce, which set up a branch in Ackerman, became responsible for the economic recovery here.

The goods piled up in the warehouses were bought by the Chamber of Commerce, and the goods shipped from Constanta and Tulcea also came here.Peter opened a bazaar in Ackerman, where all goods were traded and there was no tax.

Spices from the Golden Horde came to Ackerman through the transfer of the Principality of Theodoro, which attracted many people to buy.Prior to this, a class of merchants engaged in foreign trade appeared in the cities of Moldova. They specialized in trade activities in Poland, Ukraine, Transylvania, the coastal areas of the Caspian Sea, Turkey, and the Eastern Mediterranean.

After sorting out his affairs, Peter also started to go to Iasi.And it was wise for him to let Alexandru go first, because right after Mircea some boyars were going to take the opportunity to divide up the land.Fortunately, Alexandru arrived in time, so this did not succeed.

When the Principality of Moldova was established, domestic feudal relations were still in its infancy, and most of the principality's land was the territory of the Grand Duke of Moldova.So wanting more land is also understandable.

Alessandro then announced that everything was pending until Peter's arrival.And let the soldiers take turns patrolling Iasi to prevent Boyar from rebelling.

In fact, Peter overestimated these boyars. Since they elected Mircea as Grand Duke, it means that they have already sat on the opposite side of Roman.If they rebel now, they will not survive.
