Modern bleeding hearts call him a psycho, they don't understand the reality of keeping your people alive against overwhelming odds which you simply could not win against with traditional military tactics.

The previous Wallachian princes pursued a policy of submission to the Ottoman Sultan, something that would have surely ended in eventual integration into the empire. It happened to the Greeks, Bulgarians, and Serbians, which unfortunately were swallowed into the Ottoman Empire completely. For nearly six uninterrupted centuries these peoples suffered the Turkish yoke, and the genetic consequences of such a fate is still felt to this day, especially in Greece.

The Turks could have easily conquered Wallachia as well. But to gaze upon such a macabre picture, thousands of your countrymen slaughtered and morbidly displayed, was enough to convince the Sultans that monetary tribute was a good enough gain from these psycho peasants. And because of such a "sadistic" ruler as Vlad III Drăculești the Impaler, the Vlach (Romanian) people were free of the Devshirme System and free of Islamic proselytization.
