Chapter 80: Time for Development
In 1369 Julian AD, the Ottomans conquered Hadrian's Fort and renamed it Edirne.
Forty-four years later, it became the capital of the Ottoman Empire.
Old Mosque Complex, Muradiya Mosque Complex, Three Balcony Mosque Complex.
In the more than 30 years since it became the capital, many splendid buildings have risen in Edirne.
At this moment, Murad II, father and son, is in a splendid temple near the old mosque.
The father and son are still discussing how to retaliate against Wallachia.
Stopping the violent wheezing caused by coughing, Murad II asked:
"In addition to the statement that was just burned, what else is there coming from Wallachia?"
Murad II was tired of cumbersome government affairs, so such trivial matters were handled by the young 'Fatih'.
"Braye, and the group he brought with him, have all been killed by Vlad.
Neither our tax collectors, nor this year's taxes, have been able to come back safely.
There is information that the tax money was stolen by the guerrillas of the Bolgars.
The credibility of the message is still up for debate, but there is no evidence that it is a fake message. ”
Fatih was clear-headed and energetic, and the news about Wallachia was all in his head.
In fact, a few days ago, various news had come out, and related investigations had been launched.
After listening to his son's report, Murad II closed his eyes and thought, and after a while continued to ask:
"Are we going to get revenge now, or are we going to wait three months?"
"The only people who can be mobilized now are 3,000 standing troops and less than 10,000 rangers.
The standing army must remain with us, and only send rangers to attack, I am afraid there will be heavy casualties.
I propose to wait until April, when the fiefdom cavalry can be mobilized, and then launch an attack on Wallachia. ”
'Fatih' calmly stated that the Ottomans were strong, but they also had many enemies, and the mobilization of troops had to be considered holistically.
Murad II still kept his eyes closed, and in recent years, he has felt unusually tired every season.
The splendid temple fell silent, and neither father nor son made a sound, except for the crackling of wood in the fireplace.
After waiting for a long time, Murad II opened his cloudy eyes and made up his mind.
"Our taxes were robbed by the Bolgars, and our tax collectors died by their swords.
Spread the news, and at the same time spread my will, that an additional round of blood tax should be levied on all the Bolgars.
Let the recruiters immediately start moving, and send the children to the new army training camp by April. ”
Murad II did not mention Wallachia at all, which is enough to prove that he was a good leader.
What is the truth of the matter, the superiors never care, whether it is the truth or a lie, it must serve their political decisions.
Since there is a temporary shortage of troops, then simply transfer the contradiction to the Bulgars.
In this way, not only can face be saved, but also the Bolgars can be justified in squeezing the Bolgars.
The misfortune caused by their guerrillas will be paid for by the whole nation.
As for Wallachia, it was a few months at night, and it was not too late to clean up when it was free.
It can only be said that Jiang is still old and spicy, and the self-proclaimed thoughtful 'Fatih' casts a reverent gaze at his father.
The next day, the Sultan's decree was promulgated, and the powerful people in the court and China all pointed the finger at the Bolgars.
As for Wallachia, they tacitly kept silent, and since the Sultan did not mention it, they were asking for trouble if they brought it up.
The incident is temporarily over in Osman, and Cepes still has at least three months to improve his self-protection ability.
And almost, at the same time as the Sultan's decree was issued, Arthur rhymed with a large amount of possessions and returned to Targoviste.
Of course, he didn't know that the Bolgars had already carried a huge black pot for this stolen money.
He came back with him, of course, and Miss Gina, and what the two of them did in the past nearly half a month is unknown to outsiders.
However, some people heard that in the past few days, Viscount Mu Ya was very angry, and his face was gloomy and dripping.
However, even if Viscount Muya is in a bad mood, the marriage between Arthur and Gina also brings up the abnormality of the two families.
As for Gina's ex-fiancé, Ferko, the eldest son of Count Sandria, after losing the duel, he ran to his uncle's house in Poland.
He didn't know about Arthur and Gina, but he simply felt ashamed, so he ran to Poland to avoid the limelight.
As for the reason, he declared that he missed his grandmother in Poland too much, so he wanted to stay there for a while.
If the matter of Arthur and Gina is passed on, then this guy will really be embarrassed and thrown to his grandmother's house.
For this kind of gossip, Tsepes did not take it to heart, the funds were already in place, and he was going to start recruiting.
Captain Wawrinka's leg injury has improved over this time, and although he still has to rely on crutches, he is ready for the long journey.
Tsepeş took out 5,000 gold coins and handed them to Wawrinka as the start-up capital, as for how much it will cost, it will be settled after the mercenary recruitment is completed.
He wasn't worried at all, Wawrinka would run away with the gold coins, not out of trust, but because he knew that Wawrinka wasn't a short-sighted fool.
With the help of a country's strength, the intangible value of becoming a military contractor is far from being comparable to thousands of gold coins.
Wawrinka returned to Switzerland with gold coins and a few henchmen to help Tzepes.
Before leaving, he promised that within two months, the first batch, at least 2,000 people, would be sent over.
Five days after Wawrinka's departure, Baron Karl returned to Targoviste with a small team, much later than Cepes had expected.
As for what he had been doing with his people in the past few days, Cepes did not ask too much.
For those who do 'dirty' work, you can give some space appropriately, only in this way can they do their work better.
Calling Karl to his office, Tepes gave him two thousand gold coins, not as a reward, but as another start-up capital.
Scavengers, who must have their own team, cannot always be seconded from Swiss mercenaries.
Moreover, Cepes had additional tasks to be entrusted to Karl.
Carl's joy at receiving the new order and the gold coins was undisguised, and it was all on his face with an extra scar.
Having the trust and reuse of Cepes is one aspect of his joy.
What's more, after completing his first cleaning job, he found his place in life.
Killing those servants and maids, who were powerless to resist, was a wonderful pleasure for him.
Carl is happy with a job that has a future and he loves to do.
Looking at Karl's expression and eyes, Tsepesh guessed something about his thoughts.
He did not express any opinion on this, and the less he knew about how scavengers do 'dirty' work and what mentality to use to do 'dirty' work, the better.
