He didn't wait for the lieutenants to explain, but directly said, "Back then, when the imperial court established the navy, what was the original intention? Wasn't it to deal with pirates and protect the people in the coastal areas? But now, you are saying that we should remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances."
"Then I would like to ask you, if something like this happens, how much damage will the people suffer? Who will compensate for the loss of life?"
"Those are all the people of my Great Wei. Now you seem to be completely indifferent."
Speaking of this, Zhao Jiguang became more and more angry.
Because he had heard about it before he took office as the commander-in-chief of Haizhou.
The navy's way of dealing with pirates is to wait for the enemy to attack first, and then organize troops.
It does seem to be effective, but the problem is that civilians died and the court suffered losses, which makes people wonder what the purpose of the navy's existence is.
Therefore, Zhao Jiguang's goal was to change this situation.
Allow the Wei navy to take the initiative.
in this way.
This is the meaning of the navy's existence.
The people below also looked unhappy after hearing this.
They know that doing so is very passive, but there is nothing they can do.
In the vast ocean, it is very difficult to detect the enemy's traces in advance.
Therefore, they had some opinions about Zhao Jiguang's order, but they did not refute it because they knew it was wrong to do so.

The navy's deputy generals also gradually came to recognize each other.
And there is something more important.
That is the navy’s silver salary.
It was also because of a memorial from Zhao Jiguang that there were finally more people than before.
At this moment, the deputy generals did not say much, but just bowed and said, "I obey your orders!"
According to the information we received, the remnants of the former royal family are making big moves, which means this is a big deal.
They dare not be careless at all.
As for Zhao Jiguang.
He returned to the main seat, looked at the people present, and said softly: "Everyone, the navy is inferior to the garrisons in the north and south. What is the fundamental reason? The garrisons in these two places can effectively prevent enemy invasions and protect the people."
"But the navy cannot do this and will inevitably be looked down upon by the court and colleagues."
"But this time, the remnants of the former royal family are preparing to launch an attack on the coastal areas of our Great Wei. This is the best opportunity for our navy to prove itself. We must let everyone know that our navy is no more capable than anyone else."
"So, are you all willing to join this general and seize this opportunity! Truly demonstrate the prestige of our navy and restore the reputation of our Great Wei navy?"
