Chapter 2162: Trespassers in the forbidden area of ??the Tang Dynasty destroy the country
Overall, under Datang's new tax system, the total amount of personal income tax will still increase slightly. This is mainly because although taxes are reduced for low-income groups, the amount of personal income tax for high-income groups is increased after the adoption of stepped taxation.
Therefore, this personal tax adjustment will increase rather than decrease.
And it has received widespread public support!
After the promulgation of the new individual tax regulations, the subsequent series of tax reforms, except for the continued reduction of agricultural taxes for farmers with little land, attracted some public attention. Many other tax reforms generally did not attract much public attention.
Why?
Because most of these taxes are targeted at businesses and have no direct connection with individuals.
Under such circumstances, newspapers will naturally not make a report with great fanfare, lest people find out that after this tax reform, tax revenue is expected to be able to continue to increase after excluding the influence of inflation, economic development and other objective factors.
An extra five percentage points!
In other words, if the current tax system had been applied in the 47th year of Xuanping's reign, tax revenue would have increased by another five percentage points!
After all, the core of this tax reform is to reduce the burden on low-income groups and increase the tax amount!
The two seem to be contradictory, but they are not actually contradictory.
In guiding public opinion, it is enough to focus on promoting the former. As for the latter, just do it. There is no need to make a fuss about it.
In the spring of the forty-eighth year of Xuanping, the most important thing for the Tang Empire was tax reform.
In addition to tax reform, there are other messy things that have also attracted a lot of people's attention, but there are no overseas issues that attract people's attention.
Even if the Tatar army finally reached the Black Sea Strait after more than half a year of hard fighting, not many people cared about it!
Ottoman Kingdom, outside Istanbul, with black hair and black eyes, thick eyebrows and a Chinese face, wearing the summer uniform of a general of the Tang Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, with a Qanerba with the rank of major general, looking at the simple fence in the open space in front of him, these simple fences are not even
It has practical military defense value, but there are some small signs on it: Datang Empire Military Restricted Area!
It was these simple fences and these small signs hanging on the fence that caused the more than 10,000 soldiers of the 26th Infantry Division of the Tang Jin Army led by Kanerba to stop their progress!
Ahead is a military restricted area of the Tang Empire. Anyone who breaks in without permission will be punished!
Even though there was no one in the fence, Kanerba knew that there were several fortresses built by the Tang Dynasty within a thousand meters, and there were camps of the Tang Dynasty even further away.
There are probably many artillery pieces aimed at them in the camp!
As long as he dared to order the troops to break in, then according to the consistent behavior of the Tang Dynasty people, he would definitely open fire without any nonsense.
By then, not only the tens of thousands of people under his command are dead, the people of the Tang Dynasty will definitely hold the Jin Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty accountable. At that time, the entire Jin Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty will also pay a heavy price for this, and may even be attacked by the Tang Dynasty.
A direct military attack by the empire may lead to the destruction of the country!
The majesty of the Tang Empire brooks no challenge!
Therefore, Kanerba strictly ordered the troops to stop in front of the Tang Dynasty military restricted area, and even ordered not to get closer than 100 meters!
Looking away from these military restricted areas, he saw a city wall about a hundred meters wide, which was obviously different from the surrounding simple fences. It was a city wall that was only a little over a hundred meters wide, but was actually tens of meters tall.
There is only a small gate under the city wall.
This is called a city wall, but it is actually a fortress!
Because this passage, which is about 100 meters wide and more than three kilometers long, is the only land passage into and out of Istanbul from the west!
As for both sides, it was actually an open space, but neither the Qernba nor the Ottomans had the courage to cross even one step!
If you want to attack Istanbul from land, you can only enter through this passage more than 100 meters wide.
But this is unrealistic!
It's only a little over a hundred meters wide, and it was built by the Ottomans in recent years like a fortress, so it's impossible to attack!
Even if the fortress in front is conquered, there will still be a full three kilometers in length behind!
This is why Kanerba did not order the troops to attack!
"Build a fortress outside the passage and block them."
"It's just a city, it can't change the world!"
Kanerba gave the order, not to attack, but to build a fort to block the passage.
Of course, he also knew that this would not trap the Ottomans in the city. They could not leave through land routes, and there were also sea routes. In a short period of time, the Tatars would not be able to block their sea routes.
At this time, several officers behind him responded in unison. Some of these officers were different. Some were like Kanerba, with black hair and eyes, and obvious characteristics of the oriental grassland people, but some were blond, blue-eyed, and white-skinned.
European appearance.
If you zoom in and zoom out further, you will find that most of the soldiers in the 26th Infantry Division under Kanerba are Europeans or Central Asians. The real pure Tatars are actually
Not much.
The 26th Infantry Division was not considered a front-line core force in the Tang Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, so most of the officers were Tatars, a small number were Central Asians or Europeans, and the soldiers were basically Central Asians.
Or European.
Some of the core main forces of the Tang Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom were often all Tatars, especially the cavalry units.
The Tatars are small. Even after all these years, their total population is only three to four million. Although this is already several times more than the more than one million of their own people when they moved westward, it is really true.
It doesn't take much to get up.
It is naturally impossible to maintain a huge empire with just such a small number of people. Therefore, most of the population of the Tang Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom were actually indigenous people from Central Asia and Europe.
Millions of Tatars have become officials and officers, and apart from forming a few pure Tatar core troops, there are basically not many young men left.
Therefore, most of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Tang Dynasty and Jin Kingdom were actually Central Asians or Europeans.
It’s quite funny. Everyone says that the Tatars and Europeans are fighting to the death, but in fact most of the time, the soldiers on both sides of the war are from Central Asia, West Asia, and Europe.
This army led by Kanerba is a typical ordinary army of the Tang Dynasty and Jin Dynasty!
Since last year, he has launched an offensive all the way to the south with other friendly forces. During the continuous operations, he has also suffered considerable losses, especially when fighting in the mountains of Bulgaria. He once fought against the main force of the Ottoman Kingdom, that is, the royal family.
The First Division of the Guards suffered great losses in the battle, with more than half of the casualties and all heavy weapons lost.
This slowed down for several months, and only after replenishing thousands of people and numerous weapons and equipment did things slow down.
