state as his heritage. The revolutionaries were met by Toma Vučić Perišić, who stood in defense of Prince Miloš, but left an army of 150 horsemen to take care of Captain Petar Tucaković, avoiding conflict until he knew the reasons for the rebellion. In the meantime, the rebels in Kragujevac suggested that Požarevac might be attacked (that is where Prince Miloš was located), but Mileta still remained to limit the prince's authority. Vučić agreed to be the mediator and conveyed the news to the prince, who even thought of running away. Miloš decided, and most probably after Vučić's speech, to reach a final agreement with the leaders of the popular rebellion.
