Rehabilitate the reputation of our Great Wei Navy!
Zhao Jiguang's words stunned all the deputy generals present.
The status of the navy has always been very embarrassing. It was originally established to deal with pirates.
But in reality, it did not play a big role. It was nothing more than killing some pirates who had already landed.
The achievements he made can be said to be very few.
Even military pay was cut.
Even compared with some local garrisons, it is still not as good when divided equally.
Not to mention being on par with the garrisons in the South and North.
After all, those two places often faced foreign invasions, and they were able to repel the enemy every time.
It can be said that the Wei navy was not a regular Wei army in front of the garrisons in these two places.
To the extent that the entire court more or less looked down upon the navy.
Therefore, all the soldiers in the navy.
It's hard to hold your head up outside.
now.
The deputy generals present were very clear about what Zhao Jiguang meant.
That is to use this battle to truly demonstrate the power of the navy.
Let those who once looked down on the navy start to take it seriously.
If they didn't have much interest in this kind of thing before, after all, it has been many years and they have always lived like this.
But things were different now. Not long ago, His Majesty issued an order to increase the navy's pay. The lieutenant generals present all knew that this was due to a memorial submitted by Zhao Jiguang to His Majesty.
But what they believed more in their hearts was that His Majesty had begun to attach importance to the navy.
There are two reasons for thinking this way.
First of all, in addition to the commander-in-chief when the navy is formed.
For a long time afterwards, there was no specific person in control and leadership.
Because the navy is really incompetent and can't even deal with the pirates effectively. Even if a leader is sent, the situation remains the same.
But later, Zhao Jiguang became the commander-in-chief of Haizhou.
Although the deputy generals were all very clear about it.
It seems that General Zhao was demoted to the navy by His Majesty because of the defeat in the war in the northern border.
But on second thought, Zhao Jiguang was at least a famous general of his time, and he was personally taught by the Marquis of Shenwu.
As for the North, they are facing the strongest grassland cavalry in the entire Eastern Continent.
Failure is also normal.
After all, in all dynasties.
Countless famous generals were killed by the grassland cavalry.
Your Majesty seems to be demoting Zhao Jiguang to the navy, but can't it be understood that you want him to train the navy?
Another thing is that the navy’s pay will be increased this time.
This is certainly due to Zhao Jiguang.
But the navy lieutenant generals knew it very well.
Over the past decade or so, the navy has also arrived, but the navy's pay has been insufficient for years, so a report was submitted to the court.
However, the final result was completely unsatisfactory and the court did not agree at all.
They believed that the navy had no contribution at all.
The military pay is good enough, there is no need to increase it further.
But this time, His Majesty agreed, and the increase in military pay was quite a lot.
This shows that the current Majesty and the court truly place the navy in an important position.
And in this case.
They must perform well, at least to let their superiors see the performance of the navy, especially when facing pirates, so that they will no longer be in a passive situation of being beaten.
Now that I have finally gained attention, I really cannot let His Majesty and the court down again.
Therefore, the deputy admirals of the navy took Zhao Jiguang's words to heart.
Immediately, everyone present bowed without hesitation and said, "I am willing to follow the general and restore the reputation of the navy!"
If we can show the power of the navy in this battle.
Then they will be anywhere in the future.
Definitely something to really hold your head up.
After hearing this, Zhao Jiguang realized that this mobilization had worked. At least in the subsequent battles, they would be able to completely obey his orders. Immediately, he looked at everyone, a smile appeared on his face, and then he said.
"Actually, you don't need to worry. Although we have sent many people to monitor the pirates, we may be short of manpower."
"But besides the navy, we also have the help of another group of troops. The East Factory has already penetrated deep into the White Clothes Gate."
“Updates are available at all times, so we are not alone in this.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of all the deputy generals present immediately lit up.
Although the East Factory is a newly established institution by Your Majesty.
But they know it very well.
This organization is truly exceptional in terms of intelligence.
Previously, the navy had obtained a lot of information about pirates from the East Factory.
Because the remnants of the previous dynasty's royal family colluded with the Baiyi Sect, the two sides had a great relationship.
If the East Factory provided information, they would undoubtedly be much more relaxed.
Even if the troops were dispersed to monitor the pirates.
But as long as the news is received in time.
Then they can also gather enough troops in the shortest time possible.
As for Zhao Jiguang, he believed that the navy could definitely complete this battle brilliantly because he knew that there would be help from the East Factory.
Immediately, he continued to discuss with the other lieutenants the details of this preparation. After all, it was to restore the reputation of the navy, and all details had to be perfected without any negligence.
Because the battle between the navy and the pirates also concerns the safety of the people in the coastal areas.
The deputy generals also knew the importance of this matter.
Therefore, everyone is very serious.
After perfecting all the details, Zhao Jiguang still chose to submit a memorial to the court.
