Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 441 Is it worth it?
Bai Ming stared at Wei Xiao slightly, word by word.

"Previously, I asked Brother Wei to help break up the original formation team and redistribute the personnel of each formation."

"The people I brought from the capital, the people Brother Wei brought from Jinming Mountain, Cui Zhihui's subordinates, as well as the common people who just joined and the heroes from the mountains are mixed in the same team for training."

After a pause, Bai Mingwei continued:

"What I was thinking at the time was to use this method to deepen the bond between them and train a team that is united regardless of their background."

"Only when we work together can we become a powerful force against outsiders. Now I want to ask Brother Wei to help me see the effect."

Wei Xiao nodded: "Leave this matter to me."

Bai Mingwei picked up the three pens on the table and held them tightly:

"The most important thing is to find all the current factors that may affect the soldiers' concerted efforts, so that we can nip them in the bud and prevent them from using alienation tactics."

Wei Xiao looked serious: "I'm familiar with the situation in the army, so you can trust me."

There was a smile on Bai Ming's lips: "Brother Wei once led thousands of people. I trust Brother Wei's leadership. I am relieved to leave this matter to Brother Wei."

Yes, although Wei Xiao is not good at conspiracy, he has the style of a general.

He grasps the overall situation, while Jiang Ci focuses on the details.

The cooperation between the two can be said to be flawless from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside.

Bai Mingwei stood up and handed over to everyone: "Next, there will be a tough battle to fight."

"The situation we encountered this time did not have the flash of swords and swords on the battlefield, but the level of bloodshed was no less than that of a march."

"As long as we trust each other and support each other, outsiders will have no chance to take advantage of us. In the days to come, I will rely on you all."

Wei Xiao and Jiang Ci returned the favor: "Don't worry, Miss Bai, we are of the same mind as Miss Bai."

After a few people finalized the charter, they all left.

Mr. Gongsun stayed.

He picked up the map on the table, unfolded it and looked at it: "There is a safer way to do this - let that boy propose marriage to you. I think the benefits of your marriage to Xi Chu are greater than that of Bei Yan, and the emperor will not disagree. "

"Furthermore, as the regent princess of Xi Chu, I can protect the Bai family for you. Based on the degree of infatuation of that boy, I will definitely respect you and love you for the rest of my life."

Bai Mingwei shook his head firmly: "I know that sir is not testing my determination, but is concerned about my situation as an elder."

"But I won't do this. If I leave, what will happen to these brothers who have been born and died with me? What will happen to the land and people that my grandfather spent his whole life protecting?"

"There is always someone who wants to inherit my grandfather's legacy. But now that fifth brother has no ambitions, Chuanyi is still young, and I am the only one who is more suitable to be my grandfather's successor."

Mr. Gongsun was silent for a long time, and his voice was a bit ethereal: "Don't you think it's not worth it? Don't you never think that your grandfather was foolish and loyal?"

Foolish loyalty?

Bai Mingwei chewed these two words silently and did not immediately answer Mr. Gongsun's words.

She was silent for a moment, looking in the distance towards the capital.

Across her eyes was a heavy window.

But she seemed to be able to see through all obstacles, across thousands of mountains and rivers, and see the past that happened in the distant capital.

It was late at night when all the lights were out, and my grandfather was leaning on the desk, his rickety figure covered by high piles of official documents.

The candlelight danced gently, casting a thin shadow on the ground.

Because of the floods in the south, my grandfather spent day and night thinking about disaster relief measures. By the time the disaster relief decree was issued, my grandfather had already lost weight.Wearing an official robe, it was dangling.

Immediately afterwards, she saw her grandfather kneeling in the ancestral hall with her father, uncle and brother, announcing their decision to abandon their writing and join the army.

There are 11 male members of the Bai family, except for the young Xiao Chuanyi, who all want to fight on the battlefield.

When the scene changed, she saw her grandfather lying in the side hall, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. His forehead was wrapped in heavy gauze, and blood seeped out and stained his clean clothes.

Foolish loyalty?

No, it's not.

no!
Because she remembered the flood, her grandfather responded promptly and with appropriate strategies. No one who was affected by the disaster escaped and everyone was properly resettled.

She also remembered that after the First World War in Yinshan, Emperor Yuan Zhen scolded Bai Jiaerlang as a coward, but what she saw was that if her father and brother had not led the army to go out, the five border cities would have been devastated.

She also remembered that her family asked for help in front of Zhengyang Gate, and the people in the city knelt to help. They carried the coffin and went out to fight, and the people in the city knelt to see each other off.

Is this the result of my grandfather’s foolish loyalty?
Her grandfather was the only person she knew who didn't need fame or fame, but was respected by thousands of people.

When people in the world mention the old prime minister, no one will show admiration. Even the bandits who robbed homes and the most vicious criminals will stand in awe when they hear the name of my grandfather.

But later, my grandfather lost his children and grandchildren and was forced to retreat from the center of power. Without him working conscientiously for the people's livelihood, many people would have lost hope of survival...

Think about it here.

Bai Mingwei looked determined: "The so-called peace in the world is just that some people are carrying a heavy burden and moving forward. My grandfather's loyalty is not to you, but to the mountains and rivers where he was raised."

"My grandfather has always taught us that in this world, someone has to sacrifice and someone has to pay. Why can't it be us?"

When she said this, Bai Mingwei's expression was so ordinary, as if everything she did for the people of her country and country was as natural as eating and drinking.

She doesn't think her grandfather is foolish and loyal because she understands him.

Mr. Gongsun seemed a little embarrassed and slowly sat down on the chair.

He was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Is it worth it?"

does it worth?
Rather than asking Bai Mingwei, it's more like asking himself.

does it worth?
Bai Mingwei didn't know whether this was worth it.

But she knew that there was a heavy burden behind whether it was worth it.

Despite all the hardships she went through, she never regretted taking on this burden for a moment.

Bai Mingwei poured a cup of tea and held it in front of Mr. Gongsun: "Sir, he is a great talent. He became famous at a young age and his reputation has spread throughout the Nine Provinces."

"After Emperor Yuan Zhen ascended the throne, he followed his grandfather's advice and asked his husband to join the court as an official. However, he didn't even refuse. There was no news about him and he could not be found anywhere."

"If we hadn't met in Liancheng, Mingwei wouldn't have known that your husband was actually living in seclusion in Liancheng. According to your talent, if you didn't hide in a border town, you would be able to do great things."

"Of course, this is a personal wish. I have no qualifications or position to say that Mr. Xiang lives in seclusion to protect himself and watch countless people suffer."

After a pause, Bai Mingwei's eyes suddenly turned sharp:

"But sir, you can't think that my grandfather is foolish and loyal, let alone say whether his hard work over the years is worth it."

"Because, sir, you are also a common person who has been protected by my grandfather for many years. Without my grandfather, Dongling would have been riddled with holes. The country would not be a country, the family would not be a family, and the people would not be human."

"If there was no grandfather, how could I live in a corner for so many years?"
