Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 289 Hometown and home, both longing and extravagant hope
Those words spread like a plague in an instant.

The longing for their loved ones and homeland suddenly surged out, making them unable to suppress their emotions at all.

Cries were everywhere, and in this place where corpses were strewn all over the place, it was very appropriate for the occasion, but it was also extremely desolate.

15 years?
If the wife and children are still alive, the wife is no longer young, and when the son reaches the age of marrying a wife, it is time to prepare a dowry for the daughter.

I wonder if the daughter Hong who was buried when her daughter was born can be recovered after experiencing war and famine?

Bai Mingwei was in awe.

If nothing else, the years she spent wearing military uniform were worthy of her admiration.

Whether it is the soldiers garrisoning or guarding the border, only with their perseverance can a country have stability and peace.

So General Huo is right, every soldier deserves respect.

Bai Mingwei cut off a martyr's hair, put it into a cloth bag, and gave it to the soldier in charge of registration to write his name on the bag.

The soldier had nothing left behind, only a lock of hair and scraps of silver he had saved, as well as his ashes, which would be sent to his relatives who were still alive in the world.

Bai Mingwei said: "We living people still have the opportunity to return to our hometown to see our relatives, but they will never be able to see them again."

"I am strict with you because I want to make you stronger so that I can take you home to your distant hometown after the war is over."

"However, what happened last night made me very uneasy. I don't know what I should do to allow the soldiers who are still seeking pleasure under such circumstances to maintain their faith and survive in the upcoming battle."

"I don't even know how a team with lax military discipline can turn into an invincible and victorious army."

Having said this, Bai Ming sighed softly.

The soldiers looked at the cloth bags in their hands, and then at their comrades lying on the ground without a sound, with mixed emotions for a moment.

Their long career in the military has blurred their memories of their hometown.

This endless road has wiped out their last hope for their hometown.

Knowing that they can never return to their hometown, and that the people they want to see will never be seen again, they indulge and paralyze themselves in such despair.

Even looking for girls is a habit that has been gradually developed in the military life year after year.

They need a place to go for their unplaced hearts, and a place to vent their suppressed pain.

This is what they have always done. The only difference is that some people can still retain their rationality, while others, like the soldier just now, have become crazy.

The word "go home".

How far out of reach, but now someone actually told them to take them home.

Want to take them home?

To take them home...

The soldiers could no longer restrain themselves, and the sadness gradually spread.

Thousands of men cried together.

"I haven't been back for eight years. When I left, I planted a peach tree. I wonder if my child can eat peaches?"

"I heard that there is a famine over there. My family, are they still alive? Can I see them again?"

"I bought two sheep and some chickens for my wife. When I go back, it must have become a big flock of sheep and a big flock of chickens, right?"

"My mother has promised me a marriage, but I have been away from home for five years. I am afraid that my fiancée has already married someone else. I don't blame her. Who makes me unable to make her wear a wedding dress?"

"I don't have any relatives, but I still want to go back to the place where I was born, and use the money I saved to buy a few acres of thin farmland. When the time comes to return to the farm, I can farm and spend my old age."

"..."

The soldiers confided their feelings one after another, but Wei Xiao, a tough man, burst into tears after hearing this.

Bai Mingwei listened quietly to everyone's words, and finally said her decision: "Soldiers, I have decided to resume the exchange of letters from home. As long as you behave well, you will get a chance to carry things home."

"It can be a letter home filled with your thoughts, or it can be the military salary you have saved hard, or it can be something you want to take back. As long as you meet the conditions, you will be in touch with your family again." These words made me cry. Everyone stopped their voices.

After a while, like cold water poured into a pan of oil, the entire team began to boil.

Bai Mingwei waited for the excitement to subside, and finally stopped their voices: "I will officially issue the notice after the specific details are arranged."

"But due to lack of manpower, it is impossible for everyone to have this opportunity, so this is a reward given to those who have outstanding performance or meritorious service."

"Please remember that those who violate discipline, disobey orders, cheat and cheat... Once any bad behavior occurs, this precious opportunity will be lost."

Amid the sounds of surprise, Wei Xiao looked at Bai Mingwei with a smile.

If Miss Bai doesn't do this because of difficulties, then she is no longer the Miss Bai he knows.

He said he would give full support, and he was definitely not just making random remarks.

Even if he was asked to summon those brothers who had retired to complete this task, he would do it without hesitation.

Bai Mingwei looked at everyone's expressions and knew that his goal was achieved.

They really don't respect Cui Zhihui that much, and they don't have the unity they imagined. Perhaps being well-trained is their greatest advantage.

But it is also because of their shortcomings that it becomes less difficult to conquer them.

Finally, Bai Mingwei said: "Let's do things first, and then we can properly dispose of the remains of the martyrs."

As a result, a group of elders, with long-lasting emotions that could not be calmed down, imitated Ren and Yu Jiao and clumsily handled the remains of the martyrs.

In fact, when I think about it, Miss Bai is very generous in many aspects.

For example, she is braver than anyone else on the battlefield and always takes the lead; when dealing with her subordinates, she is tolerant and gentle and never puts on airs; when dealing with the people, she empathizes with their sufferings.

If she were not a woman, there really would be no one who could do it better than her.

So at this moment, Cui Zhihui's subordinates' attitude towards Bai Mingwei gradually changed.

Apart from being afraid of her, there is still some respect for her.

Bai Mingwei greeted Yu Jiao and Ren slightly, and then left.

Wei Xiao was afraid that these people would cause trouble to Yu Jiao and Ren, so he stayed on the spot and watched.

……

When passing the stone tablet, Bai Mingwei saw Liu Yao under the stone tablet.

She saw Liu Yao holding a big brush and painting the other side of the stone tablet.

He brushed the word "hero" very carefully. Looking at his expression, it seemed to be respectful.

Seeing him like this, Bai Mingwei did not bother him, but issued an order to return Liu Yao's guards who were working as coolies in the army to him.

The lieutenant general was a little worried: "Miss Bai, don't blame me for being careless. I always feel that this is inappropriate. If he gets a guard and starts acting up again, you will be the one in trouble."

Bai Ming smiled nonchalantly: "A person who has changed and made progress should be rewarded, so that he can move forward."

The deputy general didn't say much in the end and hurriedly went down to release the man.

Bai Mingwei is not worried about the guards. Firstly, she has been able to control the Bai family army and Liu Yao cannot be easily shaken. Secondly, she should also give Liu Yao some encouragement so that this dude can gain some sense of accomplishment.

What's more, these guards protect Liu Yao, so she doesn't need to spend more manpower to take care of Liu Yao's safety.

In short, this was a decision she made after careful consideration and was by no means a whim.

……

Bai Mingwei returned to the study and sat down again to manage all the affairs in the army.

She raised her eyes to look at the sky and murmured in a low voice: "Fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law, I hope you have a safe journey."
