Chapter 431: Human Blood Steamed Buns

Although the kingdom has developed rapidly in recent years, the continuous expansion of the army and the war have never stopped, making the kingdom's finances very tight.

Now that the value of the Tartar head has been discovered, it is naturally impossible for the officials of the Ministry of Finance to give up such a good "business".

Well, of course, the use of human heads as a "general equivalent" is an extremely barbaric and cruel act, which is morally unacceptable to many people. In the kingdom, too, it has been under great public criticism.

However, the finance officials of the Ministry of Finance, who are about to be crushed by the huge fiscal deficit, have made a strong counterattack to these critics who "stand and talk and have a pain in their back."

In order to collect and buy and sell Tartar heads, the Ministry of Finance held several enlarged meetings to debate with those who opposed it.

In the end, the moral models of the whole country are still not as good as the financial people. In the face of strong financial pressure and other facts, he still bowed his head.

However, the cabinet also issued a deadline for the financial department to get rid of the fiscal deficit as soon as possible, so that this barbaric act of "eating human blood steamed buns" will disappear from history as soon as possible.

This incident lasted for two years before it could be regarded as a temporary result. It also made the unparalleled officials of the Ministry of Finance of the Kingdom famous, and had the nickname of "Ghost Sorrow".

And the Ministry of Finance, since then, has also been vividly described as "the department that dares to compete with Hades for business".

Now, after the battle between the Huaxia Army and the Houjin Army is completed, the first thing is to cut off the human head for preservation.

Although this behavior is disgusting, there is no way to do it.

Between raising taxes on the people at home and harvesting the Houjin Tartar heads left on the battlefield after victory, any Chinese soldier with a sense of responsibility would choose the latter.

At this moment, Duoduo had clearly seen the mutilated items on the corpses of his own personnel, but there was not the slightest hint of anger on his young face.

Although Duoduo has only reached the age of twenty now, since he won the trust of Huang Taiji with the appearance of a good baby, he has also followed his fourth brother on many expeditions, and he is used to seeing life and death on the battlefield.

Now, with his much more mature mentality, coupled with the habit of treating the people below as human beings under the slavery system, not to mention that the Huaxia Army wants to pull out the clothes of its own soldiers and soldiers, even if his head is cut off and used for military merits, it can't make the slightest wave in his heart.

Moreover, because of the lack of domestic productivity, they themselves often have to go to the soldiers who died in battle to pull their armor.

In the Battle of Dalinghe, when the city of Dalinghe was besieged, the Houjin side had many incidents of pulling clothes because of poor logistical support.

In the end, it was because of the clothed minions that they went to pull out the clothes of the dead Eight Banners soldiers, and the Eight Banners masters were angry that they attracted Huang Taiji's attention. A group of minions were specially punished, and all bannermen were asked to take good care of their minions.

Therefore, how could such a small scene arouse the wrath of Duoduo!

What really made Dordor angry was the matter of his jaw.

Just now, when the Houjin forward cavalry attacked the Huaxia Army's position, his Bayala suffered heavy losses, and at least more than 30 Bayala were killed.

You know, he Duoduo is in charge of more than a dozen oxen, but the total number of Bayala is less than 300.

If you add in the dozens of Bayala lost in the late battle of the Daling River last year, he has already lost sixty or seventy Bayala warriors.

The impact on Duoduo's military strength was enormous, and it can be said that it caused him extremely serious losses. So that he is likely to be with Dolgon, Daishan. In the competition of Yue Tuo and others, they lost their competitiveness.

And according to the current situation, I am afraid that his losses may be further expanded.

Duoduo knew that the more than 2,000 Chinese infantry he had encountered on the seashore before were chasing him after him at this moment.

If Duoduo didn't want to fall into the flank attack of the Huaxia army in front and rear, he could only break the formation as soon as possible, or find a way to bypass the position of the Huaxia army in front of him.

Duoduo raised his eyes and looked at the deployment of the Huaxia Army for a long time, and he knew that it was not easy to choose which path he chose.

The scout had already come again to report that the infantry of the Huaxia Army was coming to this place quickly, and if he didn't hurry up, he would probably lose the last chance to break through.

Dodor smacked his thigh hard and continued to take a closer look.

On the left side of the Huaxia Army on the opposite side was an infantry array, and they had set up a rectangular array of four rectangles at the front and rear. On both sides of the array, several artillery pieces were also placed.

The infantry was not too far from the riverbank, and although it seemed that there was some distance in between, even a fool knew that it was impossible for a large force to pass through there.

The right part of the Huaxia Army is an all-cavalry unit.

Duoduo roughly estimated the number of enemies, which should be more than 600 people, less than 700 people.

Some distance to the outside of the cavalry, there were patches of hilly areas.

Seeing that this cavalry deliberately occupied the position to the west, it was obvious that it was to facilitate the expansion of the flanks and prevent the cavalry of the Houjin Army from using their speed to bypass their military formation.

If Duoduo wanted to force his way around the side of the Huaxia army, then the queue on the march could be attacked by the Huaxia cavalry who were in the inner circle and on standby at any time.

At this moment, the Houjin army is intercepted and pursued again, and when the army is unstable, if it is intercepted into two sections by the Huaxia cavalry, it will definitely be a big rout.

Duoduo looked at it for a long time, and then refocused his attention on the official road to the north, which was still empty, and there was no trace of reinforcements.

Duoduo cursed fiercely, "Scholars are all black-hearted. ”

At this moment, he was full of resentment towards Yue Tuo, the bastard who liked to read Han books and pretend to learn everything from the Han people.

The Huaxia army came from the main road in broad daylight, and in such a vast area, it would definitely be seen by many scouts, and Yue Tuo, as the person in charge of the area north of Fuzhou, could not have known the news.

However, seeing that he didn't have the slightest intention of coming out to rescue until now, he knew that Yue Tuo should be sincere in looking at his own jokes.

While Duoduo was cursing Yueto, he was also constantly complaining about himself.

"If it weren't for being too confident, I wouldn't have encountered this kind of problem when I came out to fight with Huaxia Junlang.

If we keep stubbornly defending Fuzhou City and don't come out, the combat effect will definitely be much better, at least, in the place where there is a city wall to protect us, we have an advantage, and besides, behind Fuzhou City is Yue Tuo's troops, and the retreat must be very smooth. ”
