Soon, under the objection of civil officials, the news was passed to the higher authorities.
After a simple calculation, the upper levels came down and were recruiting people over 50 years old across the country to go to the front line.
This is not because they are merciful, but because in their hearts, people over 50 years old are worthless.
In other words, the value is very low.
Donghu's decree soon aroused dissatisfaction among the people.
After all, to the above, people over 50 years old are indeed not as valuable as young people, but most people over 50 years old are other people's parents. Donghu has long been influenced by the Ming Dynasty and also pays attention to filial piety.
Now directly asking the old man to die has quickly aroused dissatisfaction among many people, but civilians have no say. There is no right to express dissatisfaction.
Chen's seriousness did not consider the feelings of ordinary people at all.
However, although Donghu could reduce the losses of his army by doing this, he did lose a lot of people's support and led to more and more people being dissatisfied.
In addition, because the upper class did not pay attention to the Mon people, the persecution in Mon areas was even more excessive.
The Mon people who received special treatment were even more dissatisfied with the Donghu Dynasty. If it hadn't been for the suppression by the clan's top brass, there would have been a fire in the Todo Dynasty's backyard.
More than ten days passed in a flash. As batches of old people fell on the bloody slope and in front of Lingbao, the gunpowder supplies in Lingbao began to be in short supply.
The white people in Lingbao also fell into despair.
Although their muskets are of good quality, their accuracy is not very good. If they face a large-scale attack, they can fire in batches and form a dense net of bullets, which can effectively kill the enemy.
Facing these yellow-skinned people who were not afraid of death in twos and threes, they were really afraid.
Destroy the enemy. Even if you are shooting at a scattered enemy like this at a distance of twenty steps, you will need at least a hundred projectiles to kill the enemy.
If you don't destroy it, the opponent will be in a blind spot after entering the corner. Then the opponent will have many ways to cause damage to the city wall.
As for the cannons on the city wall, they are more of a decoration.
It's not that they haven't thought about going out to kill those old men, but the enemy's cavalry waiting not far away made them dare not act rashly.
The reason why they are so stable now is not that their army is stronger than Donghu's army, but because they have advanced weapons and have a strong Lingbao to provide shelter. Yes, they can ensure their own safety. Give the enemy a certain amount of damage.
If it were really placed in the wild, even with three shots, they wouldn't be able to stop the enemy's attack.
"Have the brains of these yellow-skinned ghosts been eaten by dogs? Why can't they see that they are so obviously willing to die?" On the Lingbao, white soldier No. 1 said angrily after killing an old man.
These yellow people were really mean. They had harassed them day and night before, and now they were constantly sending old men to die, which surprised him.
Although the Donghu dynasty was not weak, decades ago, Anabilon recovered Salian occupied by the Portuguese and expelled the Portuguese invaders from Myanmar.
But they still look down on these people in their hearts.
But now their hearts are full of fear, especially after being taken over by Daming at sea, and after enjoying "friendly" treatment for a long time, they have unconsciously developed a fear of yellow people.
Some people died, but not completely...
