The Eagle of Eastern Europe

"Repent, God's punishment is coming!"

A missionary preaches Orthodox Christianity on the outskirts of Cluj. Because he is in Hungary, the movement must be quiet.

After the Wallachian Church established the Transylvanian Diocese, it began to support it vigorously, and it was successful. An Orthodox church was built and recognized in Cluj.

Do you know why he approved it? The other party directly led people to surround the home of the mayor of Cluj and spent 50 gold coins.

But no matter what, the church was built. But due to pressure from the Catholic Church, the address was in a remote location.

The Orthodox Church spread rapidly among other ethnic groups except the Hungarians, because the asceticism and poverty of the Orthodox Church set off the luxury and corruption of the Catholic Church. They were not willing to pay for such a church. They wanted the Orthodox Church to replace Catholicism, so that their burden would be lifted. It will be smaller.

Despite this, Catholicism is still firmly rooted here. Because Orthodoxy spread mainly among the lower classes, most nobles still believed in Catholicism. Their foundation is very stable.

In this regard, Transylvania became a target of Andrei. They become scholars, doctors, teachers, etc., and go deep into the grassroots to spread religion. He also tried to persuade some Catholics to convert, but with little success.

Transylvania has always been incorporated into Hungary as an autonomous principality, and the king sent a governor to govern it. During the period of Emperor Lajos, the minerals here were developed. Provided a large amount of financial support to Hungary, but the local Hungarians constitute a minority and are closer to Wallachia and Moldova in blood and culture. This is also the reason why Romania can obtain this place in the future.

Wallachia is naturally eyeing this land, but now it must be patient. Osman is still there.

Of course, heading east from Moldova is the Golden Horde. After more than a hundred years of wear and tear, it has lost its former glory. Lithuania is also staring here, and Wallachia wants to take advantage of their northward expansion to establish a basic base.

Some Cossack chiefs began to settle between the Dniester and Dnieper rivers under Wallachia's money offensive. Peter personally bought them agricultural tools, seeds, and provided them with some commodities. In return, the Cossacks must provide a group of cavalry to help Wallachia fight, and they must obey their superiors to get 70% of the spoils.

Most people want to settle down and live a stable life. They are either escaped serfs or adventurers who want to try their luck. The Tatars and other nomads are the natural enemies of these people. For this reason, they can only work hard to maintain their Military strength, the only way to protect their property.

The Cossacks could not be treated like other people, and envoys sent by Peter told the various chiefs that Wallachia would provide them with goods and food as long as they provided troops and loyalty. You can also get great discounts on loot. This was a great temptation for the Cossacks, who could only rely on fighting and plundering as their main survival. Some chiefs expressed their willingness to cooperate with Wallachia. But there were still some pro-Lithuanians who refused, but Peter was also very satisfied.

The southern part of Ukraine is still dominated by swamps and grasslands, and development is still very primitive. The pot belongs to the nomads.

It will take at least seven or eight years to develop this place, and a lot of human and financial resources will also be invested. More importantly, it is necessary to ensure that the peasants' property is not damaged, and the Tatar plunder must be eliminated.

Ross Company and the church took on the main force of reclamation, using Aaron as the first base to reclaim the land inland. The land it cultivated belonged to the Grand Duke and his sons. In a world dominated by the Tatars, it was the only safe haven for others.

----Dividing line----

Regardless of population or area, Wallachia ranks high in Europe. Before the rise of the Grand Duchy of Muscovy and when Rome was about to fall, Wallachia began to hold up the banner of Orthodox Christianity, and Grand Duke Mircea regarded himself as the defender of Christianity. This has great appeal among Orthodox Christians.

Like Dmitry Donskoy, Wallachia's defeat of the Ottomans was as influential as Moscow's defeat of the Golden Horde. In this way, the Orthodox Church established two centers: one in Wallachia in the Balkans, and the other in Moscow in the northeastern region.

Although the enemies are different, when facing peoples with the same religion and the same habits, Orthodox countries can explode with power and defeat each other. This is undoubtedly very exciting.

In this situation where there are enemies in the east and enemies in the west, the Orthodox Church can only save itself. We must unite our forces, and if we want to unite, we must eliminate those who are uncooperative and those who are lackeys.

In the construction of the new capital, some buildings have been completed. The Grand Duke's official residence and cathedral continued to be built. Due to its geographical location, a large number of caravans would come here to trade, which increased the prosperity of the city.

And half of these achievements were established by Peter. He was the richest man in Wallachia and the one who gave the most money and effort. But most of his funding went through the government, so the people had more respect for the Archduke of Wallachia.

While Peter was away in Bulgaria, the Ottomans had a small group of cavalry harassing the border. Both were repulsed by the Wallachian cavalry, but overall peace was maintained between the two sides.

As for Serbia, Brankovic began to worry about Hungary. I am between three powerful powers, so I need to be very good at balancing.

To this end, he sent an envoy to Buda to make good friends, and the tribute to the Ottomans and Wallachia was also handed over on time. Just to prevent the two countries from having an excuse to attack, this is a three-egg dance.

"Sir, Bayezid's son has taken office."

Peter looked at the intelligence submitted by Petkov, and an invisible dull expression appeared in Peter's mind.

What kind of monster is this? It's hard to describe the performance of this eldest son during the Ottoman interregnum. What about living a luxurious life, being moody, and having a habit of smoking opium. But he also did something to give Europe a breather, returning some lands to Europe and Rome, including Thessaloniki.

But later, Suleiman was defeated and killed by Bayezid's other son Musa when he had the upper hand. Therefore, the evaluation given to him in Ottoman history books is very poor.

Peter felt that this book was probably correct, because the Ottoman prince brought several boxes of opium with him when he took office. And he requested it proactively, and the reason was even more speechless, just to compete with Peter.

"Just watch him and don't let him cross the line."

Now Wallachia needs stability, so there will be no war for the time being. As for Osman, it was only destiny.
