"Hmm, do you want to exterminate the pirates, do you still need my help?" Yang Willy couldn't help but be stunned, his thoughts were mixed for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

This amount of information is too much, I can't react for a while, Yang Willy has a dizzy feeling, sending troops to exterminate pirates has always been the responsibility of the government, how can this Zhao Dagui take it on himself.

Besides, even if Zhao Dagui is angry for a while, if he wants to give these pirates a good look, he should find a martial arts person like Fuwei Dart Bureau, spend a lot of money to let them help him, and find himself an ordinary scholar.

"I'm just a little scholar, I really don't know how to help with this?" asked Yang Willy strangely.

"Brother Yang and the others have been receiving various trainings for the past year, so they should have seen that it was the training of the British Navy to train officers and soldiers, right?

Therefore, don't look at Brother Yang and the others as just ordinary sailors on merchant ships, but in fact, they already have basic military literacy, and they can be used as a navy.

My idea is this, at present, there are about fifty or sixty sailors who can sail Western ships, and they can basically be used as navy;

Moreover, in Leizhou, our trading house also has a whaling team, and there are also fifty or sixty people who have been trained in basic military training.

If you put these two sides together, you can have more than 100 people, and then recruit more than 600 strong men in Shanghai and Dinghai to conduct Western-style military training, learn to use Western-style guns and artillery, and finally you can make up about 800 soldiers.

With these 800 soldiers, plus the purchase of a few armed merchant ships and military artillery, they can go sideways along the entire southeast coast, and a few Fuso pirates are naturally not a problem.

My idea is to use these 800 people to form a security regiment, and after training to a certain extent, they can wave their troops to take revenge for burning down the factory, and by the way, they will also return the people on the southeast coast to a clear future. Yang Willy pointed to the information on the case and said.

Yang Weili suddenly understood what Zhao Dagui was talking about, felt a burst of surprise, pointed at Zhao Dagui with his finger, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Brother Zhao has actually thought about it a long time ago, right, recruiting us people is not to use us to replace Captain Chris and other foreign sailors, but from the beginning, he wants to use us as an army, right?" Yang Weili only felt that his heart was bright, and he saw through Zhao Dagui's layout, and the words that came to his mind couldn't help but blurt out immediately.

Zhao Dagui couldn't help but be stunned: "Captain Chris and the others have been doing a good job, what am I going to do with them?"

When Yang Willy heard this, he had a feeling of being dumb and eating coptis, he always thought that Zhao Dagui spent a huge price to train his people and sailors, and wanted to use them to replace foreign sailors to drive ships, but he didn't expect Zhao Dagui to want much more than this, and he simply wanted to train them to be the escort team to protect Dagui Commercial House, or the army.

Just a few words, both of them suddenly understood each other's thoughts, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhao Dagui thought that Yang Weili and others were willing to accept military training, and they must have already had the idea of developing into the army, and they must have been overjoyed to hear that they were willing to form an army and equip it with warships and artillery, but he didn't expect that this was not the case at all.

However, from beginning to end, Yang Weili and others only regarded this as a necessary training before becoming a captain, that is, it was okay to help drive the ship as an employee, but they didn't have the will to kill people.

In this era, Yang Weili and others were all scholars, and learning guns and artillery was only out of interest, and it was impossible to give birth to the idea of forming an army to destroy the enemy, although it was a little strange to use guns and other killing techniques as an interest.

"That Brother Zhao, I served with you, received a salary, and also received the British officer training that Brother Zhao spent a lot of money to get, serve you, and it is no problem to work hard in return, but it is only limited to helping you work, driving a boat to make money or something.

You want me to help you kill someone, I never thought about this, Brother Zhao should ask another Gao Ming. Yang Willy thought about it and said with a wry smile.

"Well, I see. Zhao Dagui was also a little confused in his heart, if Yang Weili and other vigorously cultivated sailors all had the idea that they could work part-time and not fight, then the previous vigorous investment would be wasted.

What's more, it doesn't matter if you have money, you can't afford to spend time, and if you want to train another group of sailors who can drive Western ships and guns, it will take another year.

"I don't understand that the sea route is not very peaceful now, and everyone who sails must be equipped with artillery, even a passenger ship like the Vostok must be equipped with six guns.

If you really want to encounter pirates at sea, Brother Yang, as a senior sailor, also needs to control artillery to fight, why don't you say that you haven't thought about fighting now?" Zhao Dagui asked puzzled.

"When you encounter pirates in Haihai, you naturally have to fight back, but this is completely different from running directly to the pirate's den to exterminate them, right?" Yang Willy couldn't help but be stunned, and after answering, he felt that this logic seemed to make some sense.

"Isn't that different?"

"Is this the same?"

After the two finished speaking, they stared at each other, and they didn't know how to say anything.

"Are the scholars who are learning to sail with you all have this idea?"

"I haven't talked about it, but, I guess, it's going to be the same. Yang Weili nodded and said, and then hurriedly asked, "If we are not willing to help fight, will Brother Zhao force us?"

"Not really. Zhao Dagui thought for a long time before shaking his head: "Everyone has their own ambitions, how can such an important thing be forced."

By the way, Brother Yang is unwilling to take charge of the military, but if you are asked to be an instructor and help train recruits, will you also refuse?"

Yang Weili thought about it seriously before replying: "It's okay if you just help train soldiers like those British officers, but you also need Brother Zhao to promise that you will never force us scholars to go to the battlefield." ”

"Oh, Brother Yang said that, I was relieved.

In this way, Brother Yang should not rush back to Shanghai first, and stay in Dinghai for a while.

I had already asked the whaling team to return to Shanghai, and I also asked the treasurers in Shanghai and Dinghai to recruit young men who wanted to be security regiments, originally I wanted Brother Yang and others to be in charge of their training, but now it seems a little reluctant.

However, the development of Dagui Commercial Bank to the present, it must be supported by force, even if Brother Yang and others are unwilling to enter the security group, this security group must continue, otherwise there will be a big disaster.

In short, let's continue to discuss how to do it. Zhao Dagui said with a wave of his hand.

The two talked for a while and confirmed some things before Yang Willy said goodbye and left.

Zhao Dagui looked at Yang Willy's back and shook his head secretly, he didn't expect to make a fuss today, but it took a lot of effort to train Yang Willy and other literate naval officers, and it was impossible to let people go because they respected their wishes.
