2793 Governor's Heavy Taxes

Western Continent. Accounts for the western part of the country. Here arrived an infantry regiment of the South Korean New Army, they were the 7th Infantry Regiment. Their main task was to expand their power in the southern part of the Western Continent. Unlike in the case of Monglas, their expansion within them went unusually smoothly, to the point where they had nothing to do.

Proportion of Westport. This is a port on the east coast of the Western Ocean, where the Koreans landed and established a stronghold, and at the same time, the commander of the 7th Infantry Regiment, Chung Fa, also had his own business to do, he integrated all the nearby commercial and trade forces, and established a commercial base here. Proportional West is a timid country. Without fighting a single battle, they paid a third of their taxes. At the same time, they are willing to pay compensation. Provide whatever help the Koreans need, because they are scared by the armed merchant ships of the Koreans. It can be said that the new army of South Korea came one step too late.

"It's a small country, and it's not a country to worry about for us." Zheng Fa brought a few servants of Bixi, who were very faithful, and although the language was very poor, there were a large number of language classes in Bixiport. The Licynian aristocracy and merchants were actively learning their language. Presumably, it won't be long before their translation problems are not very big.

"Bang." A gunshot rang out. Zheng Fa shot down a bird with the shotgun in his hand. It's a seabird, because there's nothing going on. They can only rely on hunting for recreation.

"It's really boring to occupy such a country, it's like killing a damn seabird. It doesn't make much sense at all. All we have to do now is look for more ferocious animals. Zheng Fa said.

"Do you mean, sir, that we're going inland?" Lieutenant Colonel Chief of Staff Song Jun asked.

"Yes. We can only solve all our problems if we go inland, and I think you should know very well that the inland has a lot of things we need. Zheng Fa said.

"Korea is establishing a governor-general system, and soldiers can serve as governors-general, and Jang Se in the north has expanded his power a lot, and he only has two infantry regiments and an artillery battalion or so. But the number of native soldiers in his hands expanded to five regiments. So. They are a big force. Heard. He wanted to actively develop inland. He's thinking about a fight. Zheng Fa said.

"If you look at our situation again, we have only one infantry regiment and two earthen regiments have been recruited. There are only three regiments of troops, but there are still people in our earth regiment who use spears, and the weapons are still very rudimentary, and we have not exceeded 10,000 men in total. Zheng Fa said.

"How do we expand? How can we develop into the Governor of Bissi that we need the most? Zheng Fa said.

"The only way is to make the western part of the country pay more taxes, and the merchants have to pay less. You can't collect a lot, and the only way is to collect taxes from the locals. That's all we can do. Chief of Staff Song Jun said.

"Yes. That's what Zhang Shi did, his Tu Corps was crazy about collecting commercial taxes, as well as all kinds of taxes, and the whole country of Bangladesh was about to be messed up by him. Zheng Fa said.

"We need to do that, though, because after all, they can bring in a lot of tax revenue. We need these taxes to buy more weapons, as well as expand more earthen regiments. Only in this way can our strength be further expanded. Do you understand? Zheng Fa said. In fact, these regimental commanders are likely to become warlords, but they are unlikely to become the actual pattern of warlords, because they rely on the local land for a lot of supplies, and if they cut off the relationship with the local land, their situation is very dangerous, but more officers will be promoted and more money, and they will be eager to expand the Tu Corps, because the Tu Corps can bring more wealth. Many of South Korea's New Army officers do so for the sake of this wealth.

The northwestern part of Bangla, which is not under the jurisdiction of the ROK Forces nouvelles, but a battalion of earth regiments and a platoon of the ROK NPA levy levies taxes here. The Korean Governor's Office in Bangla is estimated to be insanely poor. They have placed the target area of taxation within the actual jurisdiction of the government of Bangla.

The villagers of the village are armed with weapons they may find against the native soldiers. The native soldier raised the musket in his hand to aim. The bayonets were so bright that the villagers did not dare to approach, and they had to turn to local officials for help. The South Korean New Army surrounded this place with native soldiers, and they had a battalion and a strength of more than 800 people, which was enough to make these villagers afraid. In particular, there were a large number of muskets among them, many of whom had never seen them, which was a psychological deterrent.

"Tell them to get the tax out as soon as possible, or we'll attack right away." The major said impatiently to one of the native soldiers. He can speak both Mandarin and Mengla, and there is no problem in communication.

"Yes, sir." The soldier sped away as fast as the soldiers waited. Many of the soldiers were desperate to attack, and in that case, they would get more. These are the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of the Turkish Soldiers, and they have already benefited a lot from the military operations of taxation, but they prefer that the locals do not pay taxes, because then they will get more, half of the spoils will go to the Koreans, and the rest will be their own, of course. This is only on the surface, they inevitably honor the Korean officers, but that's it, the amount of loot they get is also very considerable. The huge profit stimulus has led to more and more Menglaites joining the Tu Army, although what they have done has made many Menglas feel spurned, and many people have scolded them behind their backs for being Korean dogs. However, they got much more, and sometimes the native soldiers could beat the nobles of the Monglas, and the nobles did not dare to do anything to them. This further stimulated the Menlas to join the Tu Corps.

"Sir. They brought a local officer. They are responsible for the collection of taxes here. The soldier quickly returned.

"Damn, I want taxes, not this damn tax collector." The major scolded impatiently.

"But, sir." The soldier wanted to explain, but the major was impatient.

"Alright. Damn, let him say it, I want to hear what this damn guy has to say. By this time, the Major had drawn his pistol, and the muzzle of his gun was already aimed at the other man. He wanted to know what the other person wanted to do. But the other party obviously didn't speak the Central Plains dialect of Korea, he said a lot, and the local soldiers also listened to a lot. The Major impatiently turned on the bolt. As soon as the trigger was pulled, the Bangla official was dead.

"What did he say?" The Major asked impatiently.

"Sir, he said, he. He said we crossed the border. It's illegal and they let us quit. Otherwise, they will send troops to stop us. This is an act of war. The native soldier said roughly.

"Damn it. He said such a long thing. Damn it. The Major scolded.

"Bang." The major shot the other side with a single shot.

"Go on the offensive." The major commanded with a wave of his arm. The soldier was still startled, and before he could react, he saw the blood on the officer's chest.

"Get back to your team and attack." The major commanded. Immediately they went on the attack, and the situation was clear, they took the village with ease, and then washed it in blood, and the native soldiers were delighted, and they returned with a full load again. As for the matter of crossing the border, they have no intention of indebtedness, which they deliberately provoked.

Bangla, the business district where the South Korean Forces nouvelles are stationed.

A detachment of Korean New Army soldiers escorted a large number of slaves to the port. With the increase of taxes, Zhang Shi invented a series of taxes. The Bangladeshi people have to pay, for example, business tax, population tax, land tax. Even their sanitation fees have to be levied. Suffice it to say, taxes are quite a lot. And the name is very complicated, but those native soldiers are very willing to do it, and their daily work is to set up cards and then pay taxes. From tolls to taxes of all kinds, they can collect quite a bit of tax in a day, if the locals run away, of course. The Koreans have established a complete system of registration, such as local people must have licenses, property registration, population registration, etc., and if anyone escapes, they will be captured and transported to the mainland as slaves or other colonial areas.

"Are you Koreans crazy?" Chen Erzi looked at the slaves of the brigade and asked.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ye asked puzzled.

"I really admire your behavior by capturing so many slaves." Chen Erzi sighed.

"And those native soldiers, they are even more ferocious than the thugs of our Chu nobles. I didn't expect you to be able to train such an army, and I admire it very much. Chen Erzi said.

"Hehe, the people here are forced to go bankrupt by our taxes. If they run away, they will naturally become slaves, and if they don't run, they will have no money, and they will naturally remain slaves, but in different ways, everyone here will be transported by us. Now the merchant ships are in a hurry to rush back. We have a lot of slaves. If it weren't for the fact that there was a batch of goods squeezed here. Your business will definitely not work. Zhang Ye said. Chen Erzi is a slave trader, he discovered early on that the slave trade is very profitable, but unfortunately, their slaves are not very many, many times they rely on exchange, coaxing, and abduction and other illegal ways to gather, but that's it, their number of slaves is not very large. But Koreans are different. By increasing taxes, they forced many of the Benglas to bankrupt, and then a large number of them were sold into slavery. This is something that the people of Mengla never thought about. In this regard, Zhang Shi made a fortune ruthlessly, but he was still not satisfied, and he still had to pay taxes.

"I didn't expect that you would be like this, if we Chu people are like this, there will definitely be a lot of slaves. It's a pity that the people above us don't know such a method. It's a shame. Chen Erzi said enviously. He was shocked to hear this, and he thought it was the best way to recruit slaves. Forcing the locals to go bankrupt. In this case, the number of slaves would be very large. Zhang Ye didn't say anything. Such a method has long been known to Korean businessmen. However, the management system of the Chu State here was extremely chaotic, and the soldiers and businessmen colluded with each other, and they constantly sought benefits. Actually, the same is true of Koreans.

Inside Zhang Shi's office.

"Sir, we've forced a lot of people to go bankrupt. If this continues, we may not get the tax revenue there in the future, which is definitely not a good result, and we are not in moderation. A lieutenant colonel officer reported.

"Nope. The question I am concerned about is how well our military regulations are being built. You see, the number of our armies will increase. Zhang Shi said.

"The strength of the Sixth Earthen Regiment has been expanded, and then the seventh, eighth, sooner or later we will have to fight a war with the neighboring countries, let them see how we are. A Bangladesh-Latin America country can't feed us. We need more taxes. Zhang Shi said.

"But. Sir. "The lieutenant colonel also wants to persuade that it is very crazy to do this. But your own commander won't test you at all.

"Alright. I know what you're trying to do. Continue to expand, expand. We need the formation of the 7th and 8th Earth Corps, we need them. Zhang Shi waved his arms and said impatiently.

Chu. Pengcheng. Inside Fan Zeng's office. Chen Ping submitted a report. This is the report he summed up from the merchants in Bangladesh. It's mainly about how Koreans operate, develop Bangla.

"Oh my God. These Koreans are crazy. They are taxed when they eat and. After Fan Zeng heard about the taxes of Koreans. He was amazed. Koreans can be said to do everything they can to expand their tax sources.

"Prime Minister, the Koreans have about six earthen regiments, and they use the locals to do things that expand the tax source, and we don't know how the Koreans use so many earthen regiments, but if they use them to collect taxes, it won't be long before there are no taxes that can be collected within the control of the Koreans. The only way for them to do this is to go inland. It's the only way they can do it. Chen Ping speculated.

"That's true. How did they do it? Fan Zeng asked.

"Set up a governor, the governor's power is very large, military, political, economic, taxation things are all done by them, so to speak, they are a country, and the governor is directly appointed by their queen, the term of office may be limited by time, within such a limit, this is a good opportunity for expansion, many governors will be in order to get rich and have no means, anyway, they are in the land of the Menla, so, their queen is very indulgent to them." Chen Ping said.

"Governor." Fan Zeng asked.

"Yes. Prime Minister, they have a Governor, and our administration is very chaotic in comparison. Chen Ping reminded. In order to expand financial resources, Chen Ping thought of many ways. There are many places in China that need tax cuts, but the only way to increase fiscal funds is to find a way from overseas. He got the news that the Koreans had settled a large part of the tax revenue from Bangladesh. So he thought about why the Chu State didn't do this, the Chu people also had their own place in Mengla, but in comparison, their situation was very bad.

"Do you mean to say that let's also set up the position of governor?" Fan Zeng asked.

"Yes. Prime Minister, the current development of the navy is in a state of slowness, and the reason why the navy is developing like this is because the benefits of going to sea are not very large, although finance is a big aspect, but if there is a large enough interest, as long as it is a boat, they will do it. And the interests of the Koreans are so big, there are not only rights there, but there are more places that we can't reach, if they are encouraged to do so. They are bound to become hungry wolves, and they don't care how much money the treasury gives. Chen Ping said.

"Huh." Fan Zeng laughed immediately when he heard this. He felt that Chen Ping's suggestion was very good. In this way, they can solve a lot of problems.

"Good. Just do it your way. Set up a governor, and this governor is the bait we throw out. Fan Zeng nodded and said.

Sinjeong, South Korea.

"Your Majesty, isn't it a bit too much to do this?" When Zhang Liang saw the report from the Governor of Mengla, he could see the desperate expressions of the people of Mengla because of the heavy taxes.

"No, no, I feel that they are doing a very good job, you know, they sent us 300,000 gold coins, which can reduce taxes on many industries and build a railway. If we can, we can build more warships for the navy. Han Shu felt very satisfied, he knew. The Governor of Bangla may have gotten more, but Korea needs them to do it, and it's not Koreans there anyway, it's Bangla, and it doesn't matter if they live or die.

However, this will inevitably lead to greater contradictions, and the governor will continue to expand the earthen regiments. In this way, there is no great threat. Zhang Liang asked worriedly.

"What are you afraid of. If they lose the war, we have other people who are not afraid of what the Menglas will do to us, but what I am afraid of is that they will not dare to do this, and we need to teach them a great lesson. They did the right thing, and we were very useful. Han Shu said.

Hear something like that. Zhang Liang could only shake his head, this kind of crazy practice may only happen in Bangladesh, if it happens in South Korea, there may be a huge riot in South Korea, but there will be no such riot in Bangladesh. Zhang Liang didn't know, but he felt that such a thing would definitely happen, because the contradiction was too big.
