Chapter 152: Rebellion of the Nobles

Walachia not only has a bright and beautiful side, but also various conspiracies are growing in the dark. The nobles who are unwilling to lose their privileges are plotting big things in Kruševac.

The official ranking table has damaged the political power of the nobles, and local reforms have damaged their local privileges. The original noble fiefdom has become centralized, and the change is so fast that the nobles have accumulated more and more anger. In the end, they want to break away from Wallachia and return to the previous state of separatism.

They can't rely on them alone, they still need foreign aid. So Hungary came to power again.

Sigismund also saw this force in Wallachia and decided to help them. So he sent people to contact secretly, and the nobles also promised that as long as they succeeded, they would be loyal to Hungary.

Hungary is good, the nobles have their own duties, less work, more money and close to home, which is much better than the current situation in Wallachia. This is also the life they most yearn for.

"Everyone, whether you can restore your past life depends on us."

A Serbian noble stood up and said to the nobles that their family was originally a famous noble family in the local area. As soon as Wallachia came, they began to deprive them of their political power. Is this going to get rid of them and go it alone?

Without them, the barbarians in Wallachia still want to rule here, are they dreaming? They want to make this ruler regret their decision.

They plan to occupy Kruševac with their recruited troops first, then attack Niš in the south, and then go north to open up a channel with Hungary to get assistance. Finally, they will join forces with the Bulgarian nobles and go to Bukurjesti to discuss the pros and cons with the Grand Duke. Force the Grand Duke to recognize their power, so that they can continue to be loyal, but if they disagree, then they will be independent.

The plan is perfect, but the premise is that they can really capture so many cities in one go. And the army they have is at most 2,000 people, including 500 mercenaries given to them by Sigismund.

Since Kruševac was a newly ceded land by Serbia and Wallachia had not yet transformed it, the nobles were very powerful. They quickly occupied various parts of the city, killed officials and bishops sent by Wallachia, and announced their separation from Wallachia.

Not only Kruševac, but also nobles in Serbian cities such as Niš, Skopje, and Pristina made trouble. The noble rebellion in Trvono was quickly suppressed by the garrison. But the stability of the country decreased by 10%.

"How dare they, how dare they..."

Mircea was furious when he heard the news. Although he was a little bad to the nobles, their land and property were not confiscated, and he also rewarded a lot of treasures. As a result, they rewarded him like this.

This noble rebellion was fierce, and the entire Serbia and Macedonia region began to be in chaos. And Serbia, Hungary and the Ottomans will definitely intervene. If it cannot be resolved quickly, the good situation that has been established with great difficulty will be gone.

"What is the current situation?"

"The rebels have occupied Kruševac and sent troops to attack Niš. Fortunately, the defense of Niš was strong, so they did not succeed."

"It seems that they are planning to restore Serbia. Is there any movement in Hungary?"

"No, the King of Hungary has turned his attention to the West. But it is not ruled out that he is secretly supporting the rebels."

Don't rule it out, it is 100%. It would be a big joke if Sigismund did not intervene. The lost things must be recovered from Wallachia.

"Father, I'm here."

When Peter heard the news of the noble rebellion, he didn't care about being intimate with Sofia. After a quick goodbye, he came to the office to discuss countermeasures.

"You are here, look at these people, it's simply unreasonable."

Peter also understood the ins and outs. The main force of this rebellion was the nobles of Serbia. Bulgaria was relatively honest, but there were still some restless people. In addition, there were also Sipahi looting in the area near the Ottoman border, and Wallachia was already in danger.

"This rebellion was unexpected, but it is reasonable, because most of them are in Macedonia and Kosovo. As long as we defeat them here, the rebellions in other places will be easy."

"Your Highness, we can only muster 20,000 troops now. If we want to wait for other troops to come, we will have to wait at least two months."

Adrian talked about the current military deployment. The expansion of the new army has just started and this happened, and many soldiers have gone back to farm. Can they win in this situation?

"As long as Niš does not fall, we have a chance of winning. They must be like a feint to the east and attack the west, first attack Niš to the south to divert attention, and then go north to open up land routes with Serbia and Hungary."

Peter expressed his thoughts. At present, the Ottomans have moved eastward and will not make any moves in the short term. Hungary is the biggest backer of these rebels, but Sigismund is a fence-sitter. As long as these nobles are eliminated, he will retreat back to Hungary obediently.

"We must move fast now, otherwise things will change over time."

Mircea finally made up his mind. He transferred the small force to Serbia and ordered Peter to be the commander-in-chief and Adrian to be the deputy commander, striving to wipe out the rebels as soon as possible.

Peter also transferred two legions to help, and asked Constantine to continue to keep an eye on the Ottomans. Before leaving, he said goodbye to Sofia.

"I don't know what will come back, but I will miss you every day on the battlefield."

"Me too"

Sophia handed her handkerchief to Peter, and Peter also rode on horseback to officially suppress the rebellion.

After the nobles rebelled, Patriarch Carol of Wallachia came out first. He announced the excommunication of all the rebellious nobles, which made them lose the support of devout believers at the beginning.

In Nis, the rebels attacked for seven consecutive days without success. The rebels in the city were discovered when they opened the city gates, and they could only attack by force.

The scope of this impact included the entire Macedonia and Wallachia Serbia region. These places are mountainous, so it is not easy for cavalry to move, and heavy weapons such as artillery are also difficult to transport. These difficulties trapped Adrian, and Peter was also stumped at first, but due to the implementation of the officer list and the reward mechanism, many people transported supplies to the front line. Merchants also transported for a fee, which reduced the pressure on logistics.

The Bulgarian nobles were quickly captured. This place is not like Serbia. The army was captured by the local garrison not long after crossing the river. However, because of their rebellion, the security of many towns declined, and it would take a long time to recover.

The Tsar was also living a good life, and he did not join the rebellion, but all his children were betrothed by the Grand Duke to ordinary families, so that his descendants would not be eligible to join the fight for the throne. He was left to live a carefree life.
