the conquest of Filakovo (Filakovo, Füle) and more than 700 villages and town, after the conquest of
Uyvar (Ersekûjvâr, Nove Zamky), the dominance of the Ottoman Empire have adopted their own consent.
Success the acquired in these areas enough with the victory of the Ottoman
military superiority and not explained as weapons. The secret of this success,
the political behavior of the Turkish tax system and resourceful. The Ottoman
tax system more fairer than Austrian tax
