Zhao Dagui nodded secretly, which could make these recruits more fearful, and his arrangement was not in vain.

However, with Zhao Dagui's usual approach, it will not end here, and there will be even greater shocks waiting for it.

After the musket demonstration, Zhao Dagui did not let the people of the security group disperse, but ordered people to push a cannon that had been prepared earlier.

This is a 30-pound military artillery, that is, the weight of the shell is 30 pounds, the weight of the gun barrel is 4,500 pounds, the maximum range is 1,900 meters, and the effective range is 1,200 meters.

In order to get this kind of artillery, Zhao Dagui had to pay a lot of benefits to the British, which is simply unbearable.

The power of the cannon is far higher than that of the musket, and in terms of sound alone, such a cannon can exceed the fire of the previous thirty people.

Zhao Dagui had a large number of targets placed 1,000 meters away, and then personally manipulated the artillery to fire, and cooperated with several artillerymen who operated the artillery to fire 50 shells in 30 minutes, hitting these targets one by one.

According to the British army's practice, the rate of fire of heavy artillery is three rounds in two minutes, the rate of fire of light artillery is two rounds per minute, and the rate of fire of rocket artillery is six rounds per minute.

About 1,000 meters can maintain a hit rate of more than 90% or 5, and it can be regarded as a sharpshooter in the British army.

When Zhao Dagui demonstrated marksmanship before, the new recruits of the security regiment still applauded, but at this time it was quiet, and most people only felt dry in their mouths, full of some indescribable awe.

This is not over, Zhao Dagui asked people to push a rocket artillery mount and install rocket artillery shells, which is not the older Congreve rocket artillery, but the more advanced Hale rocket artillery, which comes with an iron stabilized spiral plate, and the hit rate is higher than that of Congreve rocket artillery.

Hale rocket artillery is much easier to operate than artillery, aiming at the target and launching, it can fire sixty shells within ten minutes, and this is still a flowering projectile, the sound and light effect is first-class, not only when firing there are brilliant flames and sounds, but also after landing can also make a huge explosion sound, but also set off a wave of air to cover more than ten meters near the impact point.

Sixty shells were fired, and the recruits had no intention of seeing how the hit rate was, but their mouths were wide open, as if they were on the verge of collapse.

Zhao Dagui secretly observed the performance of his soldiers, those sailors and whaling team members had been trained, and they had fired artillery more or less, and they all looked as usual at this time, but those newcomers were much worse, and they were all frightened.

For the ordinary peasants of this era, the sound of Western artillery is close to their acceptance limit, and this is still the situation where the artillery is in the hands of their own people, if they suddenly see the enemy on the battlefield with such powerful firearms, I am afraid that these people will collapse and flee in an instant.

In this way, the Qing army's ability to fight back against the British artillery in the Opium War was not too bad.

However, Zhao Dagui was determined to defeat all the recruits' mental defenses this time.

Zhao Dagui stopped firing, then made a gesture and immediately pushed away the artillery and rocket artillery for the artillerymen participating in the demonstration.

Those recruits thought that the gun demonstration was over, and they just breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't expect Zhao Dagui to wave his hand, and among the sailors and whaling teams who were originally standing on the side, fifty or sixty people immediately stepped forward, ran to the warehouse in the distance, and pushed ten artillery pieces and ten rocket launchers.

At this point, those recruits immediately knew what was going to happen next, and they couldn't help but change color.

Next, their prediction was indeed correct, Zhao Dagui nodded to these people, and these fifty or sixty people were automatically divided into ten artillery groups, first demonstrating the firing of artillery, each artillery firing fifty shells, and then demonstrating rocket artillery, each rocket artillery firing sixty shells.

Ten cannons were fired at the same time, and the sound was ten times stronger than when Zhao Dagui fired alone, those recruits finally collapsed, many people squatted on the ground and covered their ears with their hands, which was still good, and a few were too frightened, like headless flies, they wanted to run around, and were knocked unconscious by the veterans who had been prepared.

When the ten artillery pieces and ten rocket launchers were fired, Zhao Dagui went up to the recruit queue to look over, and those recruits were all dodging, and basically didn't dare to look at Zhao Dagui.

Fortunately, Zhao Dagui didn't care about himself, and he didn't really want to defeat all the courage of these recruits.

"Everyone has worked hard today, and the demonstration of guns and artillery ends here, everyone goes back to get clothes and bedding, and then they are divided into shifts and arranged dormitories under the leadership of the veterans.

From tomorrow, we will start to train in earnest, and I hope you don't slack off. Zhao Dagui said coldly, and those veterans immediately stepped forward and took the recruits to the military camp prepared in advance.

Zhao Dagui was very well prepared in advance, the sailors and whaling teams who had been trained before all wore yellow-green camouflage uniforms, and the recruits wore the clothes they brought from home, all styles, and after this gun demonstration, they would change into the cyan military uniforms commonly used by the army during the Republic of China, which was still different from the veterans.

At this time, most of the recruits were completely discouraged, and looked at the veterans with awe, according to their understanding, these veterans in strange yellow-green costumes could control guns and artillery, and it was easier to deal with them than to kill chickens.

In such cases, it is easy for these veterans to bring these recruits to the barracks, and then direct them to receive clothing and bedding and live in designated dormitories.

Next, these recruits are divided into companies, platoons, squads, and groups (by dormitory), and the corresponding officers are assigned and then trained.

These veterans had been trained a year earlier, and had lived a disciplined life similar to that of the army for the past year, so they were familiar with this set and would not have any problems.

Zhao Dagui's idea is very simple, that is, to use these veterans as the backbone and bring these recruits up.

Zhao Dagui originally hoped that Yang Willy and others would be lieutenants, and veterans would be non-commissioned officers, and then the recruits would be organized, so that the skeleton of the entire army could be established.

The next thing is simple, the British naval training code is actually extremely perfect, by Yang Willy and other six people according to their own experience and naval code to develop a training plan, Zhao Dagui is responsible for the implementation, from the construction of the military structure to the corresponding training, meticulously completed, and do not need to do too much innovation.

Although it is still too early to conduct large-scale training in guns and other weapons, there are still a lot of things to be trained in discipline training, walking in the right way, ground operations, and ship handling.
