Chapter 160: Intimidating Recruits

Then, Zhao Dagui also talked to those sailors and the whaling team, almost one by one.

The sailors who worked in the Oriental Academy were originally young workers recruited from various shipyards, and were specially divided by Zhao Dagui for training, and when they heard that Zhao Dagui wanted them to work in the security regiment, and they might even drive ships to fight the pirates, the reaction was not big, but I just hoped that Zhao Dagui could add some money, after all, it was somewhat risky to fight with others.

Fortunately, these people worked on the Vostok, and they also knew something about Western-style firearms, and they felt that it would not be too difficult to sweep the entire southeast coast with such a good weapon, so they did not resist, but felt a little eager to try.

Zhao Dagui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, if these sailors were unwilling to fight, then he would lose a lot, and as for giving him more compensation, he didn't care at all.

What's more, these sailors are familiar with both Chinese and Western-style ships, and can also use all kinds of guns and artillery, and they must be trained as officers in the security regiment, and it is inevitable to raise their salaries.

Then I talked to the people of the whaling team, and sure enough, as I expected in advance, these people have lived in the difficult fantasy world for a long time, and often fight with behemoths like whales, and they don't regard the matter of fighting as a difficult thing at all, but like those sailors, they want to raise their wages a little, and Zhao Dagui naturally happily agreed.

As for the newly recruited more than 600 recruits, it is better to carry out basic basic training first, anyway, they all know that they are joining as a security team, and they should be mentally prepared for war, Zhao Dagui selfishly thinks that he does not need to reveal too many things, at most he will give them more than three months of training and then slowly leak some information.

In this way, except for the six scholars who were unwilling to actually participate in the war, the problems of the others were easy to solve, and Zhao Dagui was overjoyed and decided to start training immediately.

The six scholars led by Yang Weili need to be trained as instructors, and they are also very unhappy at this time, thinking that it is normal to refuse Zhao Dagui's request to fight, but now it seems that others are not doing the same thing, but it seems that they take more money and do not do anything, but they are not as happy as ordinary sailors.

Zhao Dagui originally wanted to entrust all the training of the security regiment to six scholars, and he just needed to give some guidance behind the scenes, but when it came to the actual operation, he was surprised that the scholars of this era were completely different from his way of thinking, so he couldn't rely on others, so he could only do it himself.

However, in a sense, this is also a good thing, the establishment of the armed forces is different from other things, and it must not be entrusted to others, Zhao Dagui actually had some bad thoughts before.

Well, without further ado, at the beginning of March, the security corps was officially established and training was to begin.

On the first day of training, Zhao Dagui gathered more than 800 members of the security regiment in the open space in the north of the Wusong River, and he himself wore an extremely gorgeous military uniform to give a lecture, saying that some of the security regiments should protect the territory and the people in the future, mingle with the ordinary people, and even shouted out the slogan that they should follow the example of Yue's army and become the people's army.

Yang Willy and the others immediately felt that something was wrong, but ordinary people couldn't care so much, and they applauded vigorously.

The next step is to dismount the more than 600 new recruits, so that it will be convenient for training in the future, and the method that Zhao Dagui thought of was very simple, directly demonstrating firearms to them.

Zhao Dagui had already set up this side as a simple shooting range, placing multiple wooden shelves two hundred meters away, and filled with clay pots with large human heads.

The best musket in this era is the rifle, especially the rear-loading rifle with Minne bullets, Zhao Dagui took the steel pipe rifle made by himself on the field, one by one, and smashed those clay pots one by one.

This kind of marksmanship is extremely excellent, and the more than 600 recruits who watched immediately applauded, and even Yang Willy and others, who can use guns, also nodded constantly.

It can accurately hit a clay pot with a large human head from a distance of 200 meters, and it is still ten shots and ten hits, and only a few people in the sailors and whaling teams have this strength.

However, Zhao Dagui was not satisfied, so he asked people to move the clay pot shelf back another hundred meters, that is, three hundred meters, and then shoot again, and hit all the clay pots.

The recruits who didn't know how to use guns didn't know what it meant, and they still shouted loudly, but Yang Willy and the others couldn't help but change color, so their marksmanship was already beyond the best shooters among them.

After that, Zhao Dagui asked people to move the shelf back another hundred meters, that is, four hundred meters, and then continued to shoot, but this distance has reached a certain limit, and Zhao Dagui can only do eight shots out of ten, and he can't hit all of them.

However, this is already a miracle shot, and the more people who know how to use guns, the more suspicious they are, and their eyes are full of respect when they look at Zhao Dagui.

Zhao Dagui laughed secretly in his heart, he wanted to give these recruits a horse, not only to suppress those newcomers who had never touched a gun, but also to suppress those sailors and whaling team who had touched a gun, so that they could understand what a tyrannical and fierce boss they had encountered.

Zhao Dagui has a good blood nerve, his physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, and his eyesight has reached 6.0 or above, which is more than enough to be a sniper in modern society;

In addition, the musket used by Haita is handmade with a precision machine tool, and the accuracy far exceeds that of ordinary muskets, which can be called a fine sniper rifle;

In addition, he has been practicing his marksmanship hard for the past year, has used up tens of thousands of bullets, and has almost reached the point of doing whatever he wants in shooting, and he can shoot a bull's eye within 200 meters, and the marksmanship shown this time is not all his strength.

Then, Zhao Dagui asked people to put the clay pot shelves thirty meters away, and then this time instead of using a spear, he took out a Colt revolver and quickly poured bullets into those clay pots.

Zhao Dagui used the techniques commonly used by western cowboys, helping to turn the wheel and return the hammer with his left hand, and then quickly designing with his right hand, he changed ten pistols successively, and smashed all fifty clay pots thirty meters away in one minute.

This is also a miracle skill, which caused a burst of applause.

Zhao Dagui's demonstration can be regarded as exhausting the limelight, and then thirty pre-arranged gunners will appear to demonstrate the use of spears and pistols.

These thirty people are elite shooters selected from the sailors and whaling teams, and their marksmanship is not bad, but they are much worse than Zhao Dagui.

However, it was Zhao Dagui who shot alone before, but this time it was thirty people shooting at the same time, in fact, it was completely different, the gunfire was violent, the smoke was filled, and the clay pots that were smashed one by one had a different kind of beauty.

The more than 600 people had no discipline at all, and at first they were still clamoring and comparing them with Zhao Dagui, but then they watched countless clay pots shattered, and they gradually became solemn, and they no longer had the same mind as before.

The deepest instinct engraved in the human genes is the fear and yearning for force, and these recruits gradually understand what a powerful force these thirty shooters have in their hands, and the original excitement is gradually replaced by some kind of inexplicable solemnity, and there are many different things in the eyes of these shooters.
