Chapter 172: Radu IV
After all, the nine sons of the dragon are different, but Vlad III is an out-and-out temperamental man who eats by temperament.
What is a man with a temperament surname? That is, he looks really bad, like a mallet, so he has to use his temperament to cover up the lack of appearance. Anyone who has seen the portrait of Vlad III knows that Vlad III has big eyes, but he looks like an owl, the originator is pointy and protruding, the bridge of the nose is collapsed, and the chin is a triangular shape.
His younger brother, Radu IV, was described in the Ottoman record as a beautiful man with a dashing manner. Obviously, both of them were sent to Edirne when they were young to be spent by the Turks, why is the gap so big? Maybe Vlad III was crippled and unliked, while Radu IV was deeply intoxicated by Edirne's masculine court culture?
In any case, as soon as Radu IV returned, he brought back all his attendants and habits in the court. For a time, the fame of Radu IV's personable spread throughout Wallachia. And what is even more speechless is that due to Vlad III's reign of terror, those nobles who had settled down had new ideas. Now that I live a hard life in the mountains every year, why don't I go down to the mountains and have a good time? If you take refuge in the Ottomans, won't you have no foreign enemies and be able to live in peace and happiness?
Vlad III was well aware of how ridiculous such capitulationist ideas were. Look at Serbia. In the past few decades, the whole of Serbia has been torn apart by the Ottomans, and King Stephen Brankovic has become a complete puppet. In order to strengthen his control over Serbia, there were many voices from Edirny who had turned the Kingdom of Serbia into a province.
If you look at Wallachia, it may not be long before it will be converted into a province. What a bunch of rat-eyed guys!
The news was rushed by Vlad III to the Jintao Mansion. He needed the governor of the Han Kingdom, who had always been arrogant in the region, to help him take out his opposition. For this reason, he was willing to give Qin Fusheng 3,000 Haiperun gold coins. By the way, Qin Fusheng could recruit more retinues and farmers in the eastern part of Wallachia.
Fortunately, Qin Fusheng didn't have so many discordant thoughts. He quickly spread the news to Chijing, and Chijing's reply was simple - any attack on the Ottomans was a good act, and any people who rebelled against the Ottomans were good people.
For this reason, Qin Cang also deliberately wrote a letter in his dog-like characters, saying, "All people and even untouchables can descend, but only the king can't descend!" ”
The letter was soon sent to Vlad III, now stationed in Bucharest to defend against the Ottomans, along with thirty cannons and a thousand pairs of iron armor at a discount.
Vlad III, of course, did not understand what it meant, so he asked the messenger who came.
The messenger said in a very grand manner: "One thousand two hundred and forty-six years ago, the native territory of the Cyrias was divided into three forces. The largest of these forces was like the Ottomans today, and they raised a large army to attack another small power, like Wallachia today. And the third force firmly supports the second force, just like our big man! The envoys of the third force advised the king of the second power, saying, 'All people, even the untouchables, may fall, but the king must not surrender!' The meaning of this sentence is that everyone but you, the king, can surrender! After they surrender, the family business will remain unchanged, and life will go on as usual, and you will be beheaded and sent to hell. Later, the first force was defeated by the combined forces of the two forces. ”
Vlad III slapped his head, is this an alliance?
Okay! Although you are also infidels, but heretics also have priorities, and now is the right way to keep the principality of Wallachia!
So Vlad III wrote a letter of alliance and gave it to the messenger to take it back.
.......
After Qin Fusheng received the news of permission, he immediately went south to the Killia Fortress with more than 1,000 capable men.
This fortress can be regarded as ascending to heaven in Qin Fusheng's hands. The improvement of the cement, steel and bastion makes the Killia Fortress look like a super demon lying on the ground at the mouth of the Danube, and once it gets angry, it will have to fight for thousands of miles.
And this is exactly what the princes of Chijing wanted. The Danube trade, which the S&D district was responsible, proceeded very rapidly for these two months, without the bonus of the fortified fortress of Kilia. It's as if the Kamenets fortress is on the northern border of Moldavia, and Moldavia doesn't dare to let it go.
Radu IV is now in Buzeu. This city is the largest in eastern Wallachia. Many nobles came to meet this beautiful man who had seen the world in Edirne. And the idea of peace and national protection propagated by beautiful men is all the rage. The nobles and merchants who longed for peace and tranquility said that this was a drop of falling roar!
Of course, the Wallachian farmers all over the Carpathians say, "We look down on soft eggs like you, damn it."
And in order to show his generosity, Vlad III suddenly informed Radu IV to keep a batch of flax raw materials. Soon after, Vlad III's steward secretly told Radu IV that 'this batch of flax was intended to be sold to the Han kingdom. But the Grand Duke wanted to get greater support from the Han Kingdom, so he kept dragging it out..... 'Yunyun.
As soon as these words came out, Radu IV's blood boiled! He didn't dare to make too much of it because of Vlad III's army and the artillery. Now, if he had taken these flaxes and sold them to the Han Kingdom in advance, wouldn't he have been able to connect with them?
And the steward said, "This matter has always been closely related to prevent domestic merchants from making mistakes" and "the people who connect them are in the fortress of Kilia."
With such a deception, Radu IV really had to be deceived! The cargo secretly pulled a batch of linen and got on the boat and ran to the Killia Fortress!
Qin Fusheng was shocked by this guy's deception, and sighed at the same time, this boat is worth it!
Radu IV quietly left Buzeu during the night, and soon after boarding the ship, he reached the outskirts of the fortress of Kilia. At this time, he sent the butler who wanted to take refuge in him.
"Don't worry, when I'm developed. I'll make sure you're my boss!" Radu IV said gracefully.
Then the steward never returned.
Then there was a whistling sound, and hundreds of Moldavian cavalry arrived with swords!
The saber is brisk, slaughtering people's hearts!
Dozens of squires were slaughtered here!
"Hurry up, hurry up! Sprinkle all the gold and silver! Qin Fusheng sprinkled some gold and silver, and then took away all the flax in the whole car.
The next day, the body of Radu IV was found by the river, not far from the city of Buzeu, along with some scattered gold and silver. There were traces of running horses on the ground. Needless to say, it was attacked by robbers.
And so, the whole nation wailed.......
