The Eagle of Eastern Europe

"Father, all the rebels have been taken to prison."

Peter reported the results to Mircea, and more than a thousand people were arrested. Many boyars were implicated, many of whom were either well-established or wealthy. This shows how powerful they are.

"Okay, okay! It seems I don't have to show mercy to them anymore."

Grand Duke Mircea planned to physically eliminate them all, but he was also worried that more people would be frightened.

At this moment, a somewhat blind attendant knocked on the door and came in.

"What's the matter?" Mircea asked him gloomily.

"Grand Duke, the Prime Minister said that the punishment part of the code has been compiled and asked whether it should be released first."

"Let him go, and he will be judged according to the law."

With the Grand Duke's approval, the criminal law part of the Code began to be implemented in the courts. The first major case of the trial was the arrest of Boyar for this rebellion.

This caused an uproar in Wallachia. After all, these boyars were very powerful in Wallachia.

Peter took the job and put Petkov in charge of the details. If you can't even deal with him, then you can only use the last resort.

In the dark interrogation room, the prisoners' screams, the sound of whips, and the crackling of burning wood could be heard all the time. Boyar, who had never experienced anything like this, was so frightened that he peed half of his body when he saw this battle.

"Humph, coward!" Abraham looked at these people and said disdainfully.

"You don't have to be like this, you will soon be like them." Petkov whispered beside him, which showed that the other party did not know how this man, who was a prison guard, could pry his mouth open.

Then he set aside Abraham and the other boyars. The torture of other timid nobles began.

The whip dipped in salt water crackled in the air and hit these people, and soon there were a few more people screaming.

These boyars had never been hurt like this, and their bodies were soon covered with scars. Their voices were hoarse from shouting, and some couldn't bear it any longer, so they revealed all their plans.

“Abraham planned it, it was all him.”

"Yes, it's all him, it's all them."

Abraham looked at them and felt a surge of anger building up in his heart. These traitors should not be brought in.

"Sir, how do you feel?" Petkov asked Abraham, but he still said stiffly.

"Hmph, are you really going to do this to me?"

"I want to remind you, sir, that you are no longer the lofty boyar. You are now just a rebellious prisoner."

It was only then that Abraham began to panic. The Duke was already determined to kill him. In this case, there was no need to save his dignity.

In prison, he shouted insults at Mircea and cursed his son to a bad death. He was quickly held down by the jailers and given some physical therapy.

Thanks to Petkov's efforts, Boyar's plans and conspiracies were presented to Mircea's desk.

Even the good-tempered Grand Duke overturned the table in anger when he saw this. Books and papers were scattered everywhere. Among them are several letters to and from Osman.

"Cut him and chop them all for me."

Peter also saw Mircea's anger. He asked the others to step aside and "persuade" the archduke himself.

"Father, their rebellion is hateful, but there are at least 60 boyar families involved. Including those arrested now, if they are all killed, Wallachia will be in chaos."

Mircea was still angry and did not listen to his son's persuasion at all. "What, you still want me to keep their lives, how can it be such a good thing?"

Peter expressed complete understanding of his father's anger. This was treason, not an ordinary crime. But there are too many boyars involved, and it will still lead to chaos if it is not handled well. At this time, Osman is sending troops, and all those years of hard work will be in vain.

"Father, there are still many places in the country that need to be developed and require a lot of labor."

Peter changed the topic and started talking about the domestic labor problem. And Mircea also understood it and said he would think about it carefully.

Soon, the results of the rebellion came out. The verdict will be read out by the announcer.

Abraham and 73 other people were sentenced to be beheaded.

123 people were hanged.

68 people were sent to monasteries, 45 were blinded, and 32 were castrated.

The remaining people were all demoted to slaves and assigned to work in various workshops.

All of Boyar's land and property were confiscated, and it took statisticians half a month to calculate the number of Boyar's properties.

"Twenty thousand Venetian gold coins, 150,000 florins, 2,000 carolins, and various gold and silver coins. After conversion, the value is 3.6 million lei."

Mircea was shocked, he had not expected that Boyar's wealth would be so great.

"Father, this is just cash." Peter said from the side.

"Any more?" Mircea continued to ask.

"Grand Duke, next is the land, castle and other properties. The value will not be less than 5 million lei."

Hearing this, Mircea was a little dizzy. There were so many taxes, but Wallachia could only collect a little tax. What does this make the Grand Duke think?

To be honest, the financial reform of Wallachia is naturally possible in areas where the Grand Duke has strong control, but in places with nobles, you can only act based on the nobles' faces. The taxes collected are naturally very little or even non-existent.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mircea took local power into his own hands, which was also a big step towards centralization of power.

The execution lasted for several days, and many people came to watch. Some of them were peasants who were oppressed by these people. They were released by the Grand Duke and received their own land, so they were naturally grateful to the Grand Duke.

When Abraham's prison car appeared, some people wanted to tear him into pieces. Their family was too cruel to farmers like them. Countless people died in their hands, and now they are about to die, so happy.

"Mircea, you will end up like me one day. You have to die...I want...I want..."

Abraham was truly frightened when he saw the executioner. He struggled to break free, but was quickly led back to the guillotine by the soldiers.

His head was pressed on the stake, and the executioner sharpened the axe, shook it several times on his neck, and then chopped it off.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

The first blow didn't cut it off, and then a few more blows finally made him die. After counting, I finally got six blows. I don't know whether it was because the ax was not sharp or because his neck was too hard.

The others did not escape and took their own lives. From then on, they would go down in history as rebels. Everyone will despise them, and if anyone reverses the verdict for them, everyone will beat that person to death.
