Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1275 We have to protect ourselves. If we die, there will be nothing.
Bai Mingwei heard the words and showed a trusting smile:

"Your Highness, the Baifu was blamed for the Yinshan incident that year, and the defeat of Yinshan was blamed on the Baifu. In that situation, only the people trusted the Baifu."

"In these days in Jiangbei, everything your Highness does is based on the people. Please believe that His Highness will receive the gratitude and support of the people."

Liu Yao nodded: "Although I feel uneasy, I believe in the general more than myself. Since the general has said so, then everything will be fine."

Bai Ming smiled slightly: "Your Highness, listen."

Liu Yao concentrated, and an overwhelming rumbling sound came: "This is..."

Bai Ming raised his lips slightly: "That's the sound made by the surging waves flowing through the river."

When the flood was released, smoke was lit at Qingdu Weir to send a signal.

When Liu Yao saw this, he immediately opened the gate to release the flood and deal with the embankment blocking the return path of the tributary.

Later, Liu Yao received news that the progress on the tributary was not going well, and then responded.

After dealing with the problem of the tributaries, Liu Yao concentrated on the strangeness of the corvee.

During this whole process, Bai Mingwei stayed at Qingdu Weir for a while. After discovering that there was a problem with the corvee, he came to Liu Yao day and night.

A day and a night had passed since the Qingdu Weir flood was discharged to when she appeared here.

This period of time is enough to solve the problems arising from the tributary dams.

Although the torrent coming from Qingdu Weir was faster than her feet, she took a shortcut and the torrent flowed through the winding river.

This is why she arrived first.

However, she did not arrive long first. The torrent rushing down reached the dam that Liu Yao was responsible for.

Liu Yao looked a little nervous: "This sound is slightly different from the sound of water discharged from the flood. Is the water above flowing down?"

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Exactly."

Liu Yao was even more uneasy because he was worried that the people would not be able to provide timely support and the problem of the tributary could not be solved before the water arrived.

But in the end, he didn't hear the news of the dam breach.

He knew that the problem of the upper tributary had been solved.

Because the tributaries shared the flow of water, the weirs and dams here were preserved.

He showed a look of relief: "Unexpectedly, I made the right bet."

Bai Ming smiled and said: "This is not a gamble, but a correct decision made by His Highness after weighing the pros and cons. I am very glad that His Highness did not go to dispatch the garrison to help in a hurry."

"If that's the case, let alone whether the garrison should be mobilized, His Highness cannot bear the crime of mobilizing the garrison without permission."

Liu Yao nodded: "If mobilizing the garrison can solve the urgent need, make up for the shortcomings, and prevent our efforts to eliminate the flood from failure, then I can take the risk of mobilizing the garrison, because it is worth it."

"The reason why we did not consider garrisoning troops at that time was not because I was afraid of taking responsibility, but because I was worried that the garrison should not be transferred and wasted time, so I chose to trust the people."

Bai Mingwei disagreed: "Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking out boldly. It is not the time for Your Highness to risk your life until the country is at risk."

"If His Highness's life can save the entire country, and his life must be sacrificed to achieve his goal, then we can die calmly."

"But if it doesn't come to that moment, please take care of yourself. Your Highness is not an ordinary soldier wielding a sword on the battlefield. He single-handedly fulfills the righteousness of his family and country."

"His Highness has the hopes and lives of countless people attached to him. These sustenances can only have a place while His Highness is alive."

"If anything happens to His Highness, it will definitely be a disaster more terrible than the Jiangbei flood. Before we take responsibility and realize our ambitions, we need to protect ourselves so that our ideals and beliefs will not become false."

Liu Yao understood Bai Mingwei's words instantly.

He asked: "General, do you still remember something you told me once?" Bai Mingwei looked at him inquiringly: "What's the matter?"

Liu Yao said: "At that time, I was in northern Xinjiang. The general told me that not all the soldiers who defended our country were recruited."

"The general said that many people will choose to join the army when they can't survive and have no future, because they have military pay."

"They have to fight to regain their own status and power on the battlefield, sword by sword. If they succeed, their lives will be guaranteed."

"If they unfortunately die for their country, their lives will only be worth a dozen taels of pension. This is their cruel and tenacious life."

"At that time, the general also said that whether it is to make achievements or to protect the country, the prerequisite is to learn how to live, because if you die, you will have nothing."

Bai Ming was slightly stunned: "I didn't expect that His Highness would still remember it."

Liu Yao was very serious: "I will keep the teachings of the general in my heart and never dare to forget them. General, please rest assured that I will not put myself in danger just because of my anger."

It’s not that I don’t dare, it’s that I can’t.

When a person has ties and burdens, even dying a free and heroic death is a luxury.

Bai Mingwei looked at the man in front of her, smiled, and brought the topic back:
"When I passed through several tributaries, I could already see the victims rushing to cooperate in destroying the dams and returning the tributaries to their original river courses."

"After getting to know the situation, I learned that His Highness's people were soliciting support in His Highness's name, and the victims responded without hesitation after hearing that it was His Highness' request."

"The implementation of the disaster relief strategy, the guarantee outside Luquan City, and the various things His Highness has done for the victims are all remembered by the people."

After hearing this, Liu Yao felt a little complicated: "People are very simple. As long as someone treats them well, they will feel grateful in their hearts."

"But why are there still so many people who don't know this truth and can't understand the importance of the people to the country?"

Bai Ming shook her head slightly, saying that she didn't know either.

But she said: "We cannot ask everyone, but at least we ourselves can have a clear conscience."

Liu Yao nodded solemnly: "What the general said is reasonable, and I will definitely remember it."

Bai Mingwei said: "His Royal Highness arranged and dealt with the abnormal situation of the corvee in a timely and thoughtful manner. After the flood is resolved, it is time for us to deal with some people."

Liu Yao agreed: "What the general said is absolutely true. Then, let's discuss the next regulations."

The words fell.

The guard happily reported: "Your Highness, the dam blocking the tributary was quickly destroyed with the support of the victims."

"My subordinates just witnessed with their own eyes the water volume being shared by the tributaries. Sure enough, the river course naturally selected over thousands of years is the most suitable."

"You don't know how smooth the water flows when it returns to its original river channel! As the water suddenly pours in, the river channel where the silt was originally deposited is washed away by the current, and the water rushes down with the sediment."

"If this continues, the silt in the river will be cleared away without manual dredging. When the river is smooth, the floods that have spread everywhere will naturally flow back into the river, and the flood problem will definitely be solved!"

When Liu Yao heard this, his expression was very calm: "I understand, let's go down."

The arrival of the guards briefly interrupted the conversation between Liu Yao and Bai Mingwei.

After the guards left, Liu Yao asked: "General, over to the third dam..."

Bai Mingwei knew that His Highness Ninth Prince was worried about whether Zero could complete the mission.

She gave Liu Yao a firm answer: "Your Highness, please rest assured, there will be no problem."

Liu Yao frowned upon hearing this: "Then, let's discuss the next regulations."
