Chapter 85 The Governor's Accident

Bayezid's words made the generals below boil with enthusiasm, and they wished to fight to Wallachia immediately and take a large area of ​​land for themselves.And Lord Sultan also intends to wash away Ottoman's shame, now, just wait.

However, Ottoman is working hard, but Wallachia is not.Your Excellency the Governor intends to crush you to pieces.

Peter also had a plan for Osman.But only when Ottoman attacks King's Castle, the benefits are greatest, and faster.

Bing is precious and fast, and it is the first to complete the greatest victory in the shortest time.Don't get into a war of attrition, it's hard to maintain.

In addition, there is a large number of Orthodox Christians in the Balkans, which is the basis for the future rule of Wallachia.There are many Orthodox Christians in Plovdiv, Adrianople and other places. If possible, they will conquer as quickly as Sofia.

Moreover, even if it is not Wallachia, in a few years an Eastern power will invite you to his residence as a guest.Never come back that way.

Back at Sophia's mansion, the Grand Duke is coming soon, but Peter couldn't get away, so he asked Constantine to greet him for him.

"Meet the adults"

Below stood an Ottoman who had come early in the morning to tell Peter that he had something for him.

"My lord, the treasures inside are priceless, and I think only you are worthy of them. Therefore, I offer them here specially."

Peter was dubious about the sincerity of the other party.After all, what good things can happen when pagans meet, and why do they think of a person at this time.

"What is it?"

"My lord, it is a statue made of gold and silver from the East."

Peter asked Nicholas to continue, but the other party obviously refused, and said that the Governor had to open it himself.

"In that case, you can open it yourself, otherwise you can take it back."

"grown ups"

The other party didn't expect the governor to say that, but he did it anyway.

I saw him put the box on the ground, slowly opened it, slowly...

Looking at the situation, Nicholas thought that the other party was reluctant.Just jokingly asked if it was because their gods were reluctant, but in the end, this sentence irritated him.

"For Allah!!!" he said, and he took out a dagger from the box and stabbed Peter.This sudden situation caught Peter in a daze.

Nicholas on the side quickly threw a book at the assassin, which disturbed the assassin and gave Peter time to react.

The space they are in is Peter's office in Sofia, which is very large.And the assassin was far away from Peter, so when he appeared in front of Peter, Peter had already taken out a small crossbow from the drawer and shot him in the thigh. (The saber is not carried with you because of the change of clothes)

"Guards, guards!" Nicholas shouted, and the two guards at the door rushed in.

"Pull him out and give him to Petkov."

"Yes"

The guard pulled him down, and then Nicholas began to check the governor's situation.Peter waved his hand, telling him not to worry.

"I'm fine, but I didn't expect them to assassinate me."

Peter was also taken aback. He never thought that a Crescent believer living in an Orthodox country would assassinate himself.I obviously give them a better status, but the tax is more.Why don't you know how to repay it?
"Bring that box here," Peter ordered to Nicholas.

When I took a closer look, there was a Turkic letter written in blood, a crescent crescent badge, and a few fingers with fresh cuts.

Even though he was used to seeing blood and rain on the battlefield, Peter still felt dizzy when he saw this.

"It is unlikely that Petkov would have done it alone."

Peter's tone changed and became dark.Nicholas knew that this was a sign of the lord's anger.So quickly change the subject.

"My lord, today's dinner with the Grand Duke..."

"Business as usual"

Peter didn't want his family to worry, especially the Grand Duchess.So cheer up and join the banquet in the evening.

Grand Duke Mircea's inspection in Moldova had a very good effect, consolidating his rule in the area and cracking down on the boyar who wanted to make trouble.

And then go south along the Carpathian Mountains to the Iron Gate, which is a dividing line of the Danube.After swimming through the middle is the Danube plain, so Mircea built a fortress here to protect it.

After turning Wallachia and Moldova, Grand Duke Mircea came to Bulgaria.Vidin, Turvorno, Varna, and Nis have all inspected, and only Sofia and Burgas are left.

Arriving in Sofia, Constantine came to meet Peter by order.Citizens and peasants knelt to welcome the liberator.

Deification, orientalization of the ruling family to be precise is what Mircea and Peter are doing, and it is very important to create their own image.

Monopolization of power is a new idea that Wallachia got from the Roman Empire.Centralize power, replace the nobles with bureaucrats to rule the place, and deprive these landed nobles of their political and economic power, so that the empire can be kept in order for a long time.

When asked where Peter was, the Earl said that the governor was dealing with other matters, and invited everyone to rest in the castle and attend the banquet at night.

Peter also spent a lot of money on this banquet, not only chicken, duck and fish, but also cattle, sheep, pigs, peacocks, deer, and bears; wine from France, made with spices bought in the East, and placed on gold and silver tableware.

There are not many such banquets in Wallachia. Except for the Grand Duke, there is no one else who spends so much money.

Mircea took the seat, Peter and Madame Maria sat next to each other, and the others sat in turn.Then the banquet began, and everyone was immersed in the food and wine. Peter came to the balcony with Mircea halfway through.

"I am relieved to see Bulgaria well governed by you. My child."

"Father, Bulgaria is also an important part of the country. The subjects here are also God's children. God has not abandoned them. We will not abandon them."

The territory of Wallachia has been expanded several times in two consecutive years, but in contrast, the political and economic system needs to be reformed to promote development, and a standing army is also needed to fight against Ottoman and other threats.

"It is still necessary to prepare the army for war. I am afraid that Osman will make a big move next."

Hearing his son's words, Mircea's curiosity began to emerge. "Where will they be next?"

Peter thought for a while, and then gave an answer that surprised Mircea.

"Constantinople, they will definitely hit here."

Whoever let the expansion to the northern Balkans be blocked by Wallachia, the two countries have a treaty, and Anatolia has already fought. Looking at the next action area, Constantinople is the best choice.
