Chapter 83 Trivia
Although Wallachia had writing and grammar, there were few literary works.Overall, there is a gradual increase, but it is still too little.

Peter decided to end it himself, writing should be quite simple.

Peter began to write with the background of his being the lord of Dobroga, from the local geography, humanities, to construction and achievements.Then I wrote about the period of Moldova's conquest and governance, and then what happened in this year.

Of course, it is impossible for Peter to substitute his real name, so he substitutes Mikhail's name.Thus, this "Brave Mihai" appeared in front of the world.

In this nearly 25-word article, covering knowledge of geography, culture, etc., it mainly tells that a man named Mihai became a knight and began to explore the East under the order of the king. During this period, a war against pagans occurred. Join in and drive out the heretics.Then it started to head east, and after going through all kinds of difficulties, it finally reached the east that Europeans yearn for.There was gold and spices everywhere, and the army was mighty, with a fleet as big as ten carracks each.

Peter doesn't expect this book to have much popularity, but it can be regarded as his first cultural work, right?
Wallachian language and Greek language are the two most widely used languages ​​in Wallachia. This is also the reason why a large number of Greek scholars came here. Since the Wallachian script uses the Cyrillic alphabet, all Balkan languages ​​can be written.However, due to government restrictions and guidance, only Greek and Wallachian have the greatest scope of application.

Peter raised the social status of soldiers, teachers, and doctors. These people can be treated equally regardless of race and origin. Of course, the person tax for pagans can also be appropriately reduced.The others went to cool off.

Scholars transcribed, translated and publicized the manuscripts they brought in libraries and universities, and arts such as painting and architecture also began to develop. They integrated Greek and Wallachia cultures, and gradually formed a unique Greek-Walachian culture. Asian style.

"Constantinople used to be a city that everyone in the world longed for. The Persians, Arabs, and Russians in the north all failed, but just 190 years ago, those shameless people broke into here and insulted the Queen of Cities."

"Now, the Queen is still exuding what little charm she has left, because she is asking everywhere for help to drive out the heretics."

Some Greek scholars told about the glory of Rome and the current situation of Rome at the University of Constanta.But more is the idea of ​​a happy life for the individual.

An extremely relaxed academic atmosphere is what they need very much. Apart from northern Italy, Wallachia is the best.If you were a person living in Junbao, where would you go?

Of course, Peter's reforms also caused dissatisfaction among some people, they were the manor owners and land nobles.Seeing that the governor was about to deprive them of their last bit of power, they decided to make a cruel move: assassinate Peter.

This is really, all the tricks have been used, but this one has not worked.But have they ever thought about whether they would wait for them so obediently?

In addition, they didn't know that Peter promoted Petkov, who was 100% a master spy.As a result, they were caught halfway through their preparations.And the world evaporates.

"My lord, a total of 25 people have been captured together with their family members. How should we deal with them?"

"Just follow the previous examples."

Peter didn't want to waste time on this, so he left it to Petkov.He continued to devote himself to other work.

At this time, he was looking at an envelope, which was of good quality, and the user was either rich or expensive, and on the wax seal was printed the emblem of a double-headed eagle.

Peter opened the letter and read it. It turned out that it was written by Theodore, the despot of Morea. He hoped to get the help of Wallachia to obtain the Peloponnese and Athens. He would marry his only daughter to Peter.

Of course Theodore knew the news of Wallachia's defeat of Ottoman, which gave him hope.

At this time, only he was left in the Roman royal family and he was still resolutely resisting Ottoman, and he also adopted a cold war policy towards the Principality of Achaia.It's too far from King's Castle to get support here, but why ask for help from Wallachia, which is further away?
Because Theodore wanted to use the land he acquired and his daughter as a bargaining chip to open up the northern passage.In his opinion, his elder brother Manuel was still unable to fight against Ottoman, and the various nobles and other members were intrigues. How could such a government drive away Ottoman.Therefore, we can only get support from Wallachia, which is also Rome's last straw.

"Apart from Ottoman, there are also Venice's vassals, the Principality of Athens and the Principality of Achaia, between Wallachia and Moreia. If you end up in person, it will inevitably attract other countries to join, especially Venice."

The Count of Burgas was giving Peter an update on the current situation.

"Now is not the time to turn against Venice, but Achaia should be fine."

At this time, Achaia was controlled by the Navarre mercenary group. In 1387, Sapreno, the head of the mercenary group, became the monarch of the Principality of Achaia.Afterwards, it managed to keep its position in its turmoil, but the boom period has passed, and the decline has begun.

Without Wallachia, the principality would have been destroyed in 1432.It's just that the process is now accelerated.

"Wait, wait." Peter looked at the map and muttered to himself.

"How about the new recruits?"

"My lord, they have already started training. They will grow into new officers in less than two years."

Peter nodded, "Then leave it to you."

The Earl agrees, he followed Peter in the north and south in recent years, and made a lot of contributions.Especially in the Battle of Burgas, he took the lead in personally arresting Muhammad Pasha and tortured him.This further established his status in the army.

During his garrison in Burgas, he repelled the harassing Sipaxi many times.Contributed to border security.

The Wallachian-Ottoman war was the first major victory of the Orthodox world against the Ottomans in decades, which not only inspired the Orthodox Christians in the Balkans, but also contributed to the rise of another Orthodox state.It also shows that the construction of Peter's new army is correct. Everyone is proud to kill heretics, not only for the faith, but also for the land and spoils.The way of entrusting land and military pay prevented the army from suddenly rebelling, but Peter still established a Guards Corps and a Cossack Guard in case of accidents.
