Chapter 45 Preemptive Strike
After returning, Mircea gave an order to the Senate: prepare the army for war.

All people who have nothing to do must undergo military training, the government will pay wages, and the nobles will also serve.Weapons are issued by the government, and soldiers are exempted from taxes after participating in the war.

In addition, all the mercenaries in Wallachia were recruited. They received salaries and land rewards, but they had to obey the Grand Duke.

However, it is also good to make some money or learn some knowledge during the winter.

The opening of the printing factory enabled the spread of books and texts throughout the country, and with the coercive orders of the Grand Duke, the spread of Wallachian texts was very fast.

Constanta Academy is currently the best educational institution in Wallachia, where many teachers from Constantinople gather.Responsible for teaching Greek, Latin, literature, medicine, law, philosophy and other subjects.

Originally, he just wanted to provide some literate people as civil servants, but then Peter changed his goal, which was to turn the Italian Renaissance into the Wallachia Renaissance.Not only should those Roman scholars be retained, but also scholars from Italy itself should be attracted.

Every city has set up a bulletin board, and the government's announcements will be posted on it.Of course, if you want to see it alone, you can customize the private version of the announcement.Printing houses also take on these jobs.

Winter is the season with the fastest construction speed, and a large number of farmers go to the city to sell their labor.Especially the construction of Bukuryeshti, after defeating Ottoman, the capital can be moved.

There are still many open spaces in Bukuryeshti for the construction of churches, palaces, universities and other buildings.Anyone who gets here now will carry some stones, let alone the convoy.

In addition to the executive, each hall of the Senate has five to ten officials in charge. Some of them are new boyars, and some are exceptionally promoted.The purpose is to ensure efficiency while checking and balancing each other.Mircea appointed Angel Petrescu as prime minister. He came from the founding father of the Petrescu family. This family has always supported the Grand Duke since the founding of the country.Also owning large lands near Pitesti was the influential Great Boyar of Wallachia.

The current head of the family, Angel, has gone through three grand dukes, and supports the grand duke every time.After Mircea became the Grand Duke, Angel was also an important member of the government. Letting him serve as the prime minister was not only to appease the boyar class, but also to prevent power from falling apart.

The Wallachian army went into action, making final stops and training in the border towns of Calafate and Mangalia, and an army was stationed at Giurgiu in case of emergency.

Just like the conversation at the hunting lodge that day, Wallachia's lowest goal is to hit Plovdiv, and the highest goal is to hit Thessaloniki. If this is the case, then Wallachia can get the Mediterranean port.

Mircea also actively contacted the Lom Union and learned that the ruler of Vidin was preparing to turn to the Ottomans to become the ruler of Bulgaria, which made Mircea feel that time was running out.He had to strike first.

So he sent for Peter to come over.

At this time, Peter was looking at the translated Song of Roland. He was holding a book in one hand and resting his brother Mihai's head in the other.

"Give up, it will take another ten years before you can compete with me."

"No, a true warrior is always not afraid of any difficulty."

Seeing this, Peter also put down the book.Immediately lifting Mikhail, the younger brother let out a heart-piercing roar.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Come on warrior, let me see your strength!"

This was a crushing duel, and Mikhail was beaten by Peter in various tricks.Look at the scary people.

"Ah, ah, brother, you are playing tricks."

"Really, isn't your skills inferior to others?"

Peter teased his younger brother, and Mrs. Maria was very pleased to see this scene.If it can go on like this.

Unfortunately, it's currently not possible.Because Peter was called away.Mrs. Maria knew that there must be something else, and it was a big one.

"Father, you called me."

"Well, the ruler of Vidin is ready to take refuge in Ottoman, and it seems that he is ready to act."

Hearing the news, Peter was not surprised.It would be a matter of time before he took refuge in Osman. Unless he was ready to run away, how could he give up easily after he had ruled for so many years.

"Father, we are going to strike first this time."

Mircea agreed very much, and while Sipahi had not yet reached his service period, he attacked the three countries of Bulgaria, and then fought all the troops against Ottoman.

This is of course very risky, but also very rewarding.Originally, the plan was to start while Osman and Bulgaria were fighting to the death, but now we can see it in advance.

Thus, a secret letter was sent to Lom.

In the castle in the center of Lom, a group of nobles are discussing something that will have an impact on Vidin and even the entire Balkans.

"Everyone, are you ready? Once the decision is made, there is no way out."

All the nobles responded in unison, "We are all ready, those people dared to betray Vidin and God, we must save Vidin and prevent him from being defiled by heretics."

The League of Rom started to move, and all the minor nobles joined in. They were not only local nobles, but also devout Orthodox Christians.They can't stand the surrender of the upper rulers, they have to fight, even if they fail, they can still be remembered by future generations.

They counted the troops, and then began to march on Vidin.

The ruler of Vidin, Slazimir, is ready to surrender to Ottoman and become the Tsar of Bulgaria, because under his rule, Vidin's economy and culture have developed greatly.In the previous battles, he also occupied a large area of ​​Bulgaria, but it was a pity that Osman missed it.

"How, can it succeed?"

"Absolutely, only you can lead the whole of Bulgaria."

Slazimir was relieved that as long as he had Ottoman's support, he would be the Tsar of Bulgaria.

"By the way, Your Majesty, there has been a lot of movement in Wallachia recently, and you need to be prepared!"

Slazimir was somewhat ambivalent about Wallachia.He was related to the rulers of Wallachia, but feared the power of the Ottomans.After thinking about it, I can only invest in Ottoman.

"It's okay, you don't have to be afraid of anything until the Ottoman army comes."

Slazimir said so, only need to wait until March, when the Ottoman army arrives, everything will be a matter of course.

But he certainly didn't expect that only he and those big nobles would agree, and it was impossible for those small nobles, let alone those bishops and monks, to make the Orthodox country submit to the rule of heretics.

Therefore, his death is coming soon.

　Didn't go in, just occasionally Cave.

　　In addition, readers feel that there are countries that can be married, not only the protagonist, but also the protagonist's brothers and sisters.
