Originally, there were still many cumbersome things in the middle, but with Zhao Dagui's sufficient financial support, the required military supplies were on call;

Moreover, Zhao Dagui was afraid that there would be problems in the middle, so he specially invited dozens of experienced lieutenants and non-commissioned officers to serve as advisers to guide the training work of the security regiment.

Regardless of their relationship with Zhao Dagui, Bafur and Stark were surprisingly consistent in sending officers to serve in Zhao Dagui's armed forces, and they were very willing to introduce officers over.

In short, under such circumstances, the training of more than 800 security regiments is proceeding in an orderly manner, and everyone has made great progress, especially the 600 recruits who have just joined, and they are gradually becoming more like an army.

Zhao Dagui is very busy here, but he is all messed up in Shanghai.

Originally, Zhao Dagui demonstrated the use of guns on the first day in the security regiment city, which not only shocked the newcomers who had just joined the army, but also frightened the residents and officials of Shanghai.

Why did there suddenly sound of gunfire from the north, could it be that the British came over again, everyone was panicked, and finally inquired to find out that it was Zhao Dagui who fired and fired the cannon in order to train the security regiment.

The officials in Shanghai just let go of their hearts, and then they felt boundless anger and fear, what did Zhao Dagui want to do, was he afraid that the world of the Qing Dynasty was not chaotic enough?

Gong Mujiu called Zhao Dagui over the next day, scolded him, and sternly demanded that Zhao Dagui train the security team, but he could no longer fire guns or guns.

Zhao Dagui didn't want the recruits who had not been fully trained to touch the firearms too early, so he naturally agreed with a smile, and swore that he would not let his subordinates mess around.

The most chaotic thing is yourself, Gong Mujiu rarely complained, and he had some doubts in his heart, this Zhao Dagui has always been cautious, but this time he is so nonsense, do you really think that you are rich, your wings are full, and no one dares to stop you from doing anything in Shanghai.

After this conversation, Zhao Dagui's side really stopped firing guns and guns, but many people were still a little worried in their hearts, and some people often used the excuse of coming to the north of the Wusong River to observe the training of the security regiment from a distance.

Last year, Zhao Dagui also did so-called discipline training for his subordinates, but at that time, he only did training such as walking right and digging trenches, and when he did gun training, he drove a boat to sea and found a desert island where no one was around, so most of them didn't care much, but they just felt that Zhao Dagui was full and had nothing to do and spend money blindly.

However, this time Zhao Dagui has used guns, and no one dares to take it lightly.

Zhao Dagui had been training in the suburbs of Shanghai for about a month, and countless gentry and officials visited him and asked him what he wanted to do.

In the end, Gong Mujiu was also worried that this matter would be out of shape, so he deliberately called Zhao Dagui over, first comforted him with warm words, and then criticized him for his nonsense, and said that our Daqing Dynasty is a place where there is a king's law, so let Zhao Dagui not mess around.

The two talked for a long time, and finally Gong Mujiu asked Zhao Dagui that either he should not run this Lao Shizi security group again, or at least not in Shanghai.

Zhao Dagui gave in after arguing a few words, and agreed to bring the security group to Dinghai and not to cause trouble to Lord Daotai in Shanghai.

After Gong Mujiu sent Zhao Dagui away, he thought about it, Dinghai is not under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty now, and Zhao Dagui brought people to Dinghai to turn the sky down and didn't care about him, but is it really okay to do this.

According to the British, if there are bees in the house, it is best to be within sight of them, while controlling them, and now expelling Zhao Dagui's security team to Dinghai District is worry-free, but in fact, no problem has been solved.

It's just that Gong Mujiu sighed, feeling that he could only do it here, Zhao Dagui had taken people out of the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty, what else could he do, if he persecuted him again, Zhao Dagui would also take people to Hong Kong to train, and then he could not say anything.

At this point, it is better to have more than one thing.

Gong Mujiu sighed and decided to put this matter on hold, but he did things seriously and wrote a letter to Yiliang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Qiying, the governor of Liangguang, telling them about Zhao Dagui's security regiment, so that they all had points in their hearts, as for how these two adults reacted, it was beyond the scope of Gong Mujiu's duties.

Not to mention how the official government reacted, Zhao Dagui went straight to Dinghai with a group of soldiers and horses in accordance with the agreement with Gong Mujiu.

In fact, Shanghai has a lot of eyes, and Zhao Dagui never thought that all the training in Shanghai should be completed in Shanghai, especially the training in guns and ship navigation, which must only be carried out in Dinghai.

Before leaving, Zhao Dagui also awarded military ranks to the 800 members of the security regiment to establish a relatively complete military system:

He awarded himself the rank of major, which can be regarded as the supreme commander:

Yang Weili and other six scholars were awarded the rank of lieutenant and used as instructors and staff officers;

In addition, twelve competent officers were promoted from among the sailors and whaling units, and the rank of lieutenant was awarded to the rank of second lieutenant;

In addition, 50 people were promoted from among the veterans to be non-commissioned officers, and 20 of the 600 new recruits were also promoted to be non-commissioned officers, so that the recruits knew that they also had a way to move up;

These lieutenants and non-commissioned officers below are more than 700 ordinary soldiers.

In addition to more than 800 soldiers of the security regiment, there were also more than 100 uninvited guests who arrived in Dinghai this time:

Among them, there are more than 70 dart masters from the Fuwei Dart Bureau, including 20 people led by Zhang Meng, who have been bodyguards by Zhao Dagui's side, and have learned the use of Western spears and pistols at the instigation of Zhao Dagui, which is Zhao Dagui's most assured armed force, and when the manpower is insufficient, he can also play a cameo role as a martial arts instructor and firearms instructor to help train recruits;

In addition, more than 50 dart masters were specially sent by Lin Zhenwei to learn the use of Western firearms under Zhao Dagui, but Lin Zhenwei realized the importance of firearms in the last battle of the silk reeling factory, and hoped to send these dart masters to Zhao Dagui for training and master the use of firearms.

In addition to the dart masters of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, there were more than 70 Britons who went to Dinghai with the security regiment, to be precise, British lieutenants and non-commissioned officers, who were invited by Zhao Dagui to help train the soldiers.

Together, there were nearly a thousand of them, and they went to Dinghai in five ships.

When it came to Dinghai, the real military training of the security regiment began.

In Shanghai, it was only to establish the structure of the security regiment, learn to walk in steps, etc., and it was too late to learn the use of guns and the driving methods of Western ships, etc., and only in Dinghai was that there were no imperial court personnel in the way, and Zhao Dagui could carry out real military training on a large scale.

Zhao Dagui specially prepared a number of steam ships and Western-armed merchant ships for the security regiment, and let the veterans (sailors and whaling teams) go to sea with the new recruits every day to sail the ships, and usually shoot cannons or something.
