As long as the two projects continued, the country's strength would continue to be depleted. And just as expected, due to my instructions, almost all of the family property confiscated by my father-in-law was invested in the two projects.
Several million taels of silver may sound like a lot, but once you invest it, it's almost like flowing water.
It ran out in just a few days.
But it is also because the money has arrived.
Song Yingxing has officially started two projects: the canal has been excavated and the foundation of the straight road has begun to be built.
And in the future, more silver will be needed, which is enough to hold back the rising national strength of Wei.
Therefore, Wei Yunyi was very glad that he had made this decision before.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to ruin your luck.
In this way, time passed by little by little.
The entire capital also returned to its former tranquility.
But it’s far away in Haizhou.
In the Wei Navy Command Camp.
However, Zhao Jiguang, the commander-in-chief of the navy, did not have it so easy.
He also received news from the East Factory that the White Robe Sect had colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty's royal family and seemed to be preparing to launch an attack on the coastal areas.
In fact, after Zhao Jiguang's training, the navy has changed a lot compared to before. At this time, if they can truly experience the baptism of a major war, it is also a good thing.
Having served in the army for many years and guarded the northern border for many years, he knew very well that only an army that had truly experienced a major war was qualified.
However, what Zhao Jiguang is worried about now is that the remnants of the previous royal family might come ashore.
Which place will you choose from?
The coastal area of the Great Wei was very vast, and Haizhou Prefecture was just one of it.
A major battle to train his navy was indeed what he wanted, but the key was that it would be very troublesome if he didn't know the enemy's target.
If the enemy lands in an unexpected place and there is no navy stationed, the only ones who will suffer will be the civilians.
If this happens, it will be his responsibility.
Finally, after thinking about it.
Zhao Jiguang decided to send out part of his navy to strictly monitor all traces of pirates.
There was no way around it. The remnants of the previous royal family had been wandering on the sea for many years and had recruited many pirates.
Therefore, every pirate group has the possibility of coming ashore.
Only by keeping track of those people.
Only then will we have a chance to resist possible pirates and protect the people along the coast.
However, his order made his subordinates feel a little embarrassed.
After hearing this, one of the lieutenants hesitated and said, "General, the sea is too vast. It would be very difficult to monitor all the pirates."
"Besides, even if we could do it, we would have to send a lot of people and ships. If pirates attacked somewhere, it would be difficult for us to launch an effective counterattack in a short period of time."
The sea and the grassland are somewhat similar, both are vast and boundless.
Therefore, it is very difficult to monitor the enemy's movements.
Of course, if you want to travel on the sea, you need to rely on ships, and the speed of the ship is closely related to the wind direction.
In short, fighting on the sea is more difficult than on the grassland.
So this navy deputy general.
After hearing the order, I felt something was wrong.
I think this would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Zhao Jiguang knew all this, and looking at the other party's helpless expression, he asked, "Besides this, do you have any other solutions?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the deputy general on the opposite side was speechless. That's right, if you want to monitor every move of those pirates, you must spend a huge amount of manpower.
Otherwise, no one would know where the pirates would land.
However, the navy has always used this method to deal with pirates.
So, after hesitating for a moment, the deputy general said, "General, we can adapt to any situation. This way, no matter where the pirates land, we can react in time and dispatch our forces to attack them."
This statement was agreed upon by many people in the navy camp.
After all, the areas along the coast are really too large.
It is impossible to monitor those pirates.
It’s better to sit back and wait.
Respond to all changes with constancy.
In this way, a lot of effort can be saved.
While waiting for the pirates to appear, you can also organize enough troops to launch a counterattack in a short period of time!
However, when Zhao Jiguang heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "So, what you mean is that we will wait until that coastal area is attacked before we react?"
How come he didn't know what the deputy admirals of the navy present meant?
The so-called unchanging response to change.
Isn't it just waiting for the pirates to take action, waiting for military reports from somewhere, and then sending people to deal with it.
In fact, this approach is indeed a good one, because it allows us to clearly know where the pirates are.
It can retain the strength of the navy to the maximum extent. After all, if you want to monitor pirates, you will have to send out many people.
But this means that the people will be attacked by pirates and even face life-threatening situations, and the attacked areas will also suffer losses.
Perhaps this is nothing for a country, but if this is the case, then what is the point of the navy? It can neither protect the local area nor the people.
You have to wait until others take action first before you react.
There is absolutely no difference whether there is a navy or not.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhao Jiguang's tone was deep, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.
