"Each village must have our people to preside over the charge. When letting the villages rent land, we cannot collect this tax-funded money! Secondly, the landlords must not transfer the tax-funded money to the people, so we tell the people that if the landlords rent more than 50% of the land, let them farm in our land. We also need to open some feedlots..." Huo Chong arranged the work.

The cadres looked different and all took notes. After the arrangement, Huo Chong asked: "Do you think we are targeting the landlords?"

Some people shook their heads, some nodded.

"We are not targeting the landlords, we want to help the poor people. As long as we help the poor people, the landlords will feel uncomfortable and offended by us. In Mouping County, the gentry attacked us. This time the landlords are afraid of us, but once they feel that we are weak, they will take action and carry out armed attacks."

The vicious elements in the faces of the cadres have increased dramatically.

Huo Chong knocked on the table, "The problem is here. It's here! We are not targeting the landlords, because it's not very useful to target the landlords now. What is our priority now? Let's answer it."

When everyone was hesitating, Qian Qing took the lead and replied: "Increase the number of our troops as soon as possible."

"Yes! To increase the number of troops and find good people, of course we have to be with the farmer. After we go, we will take the initiative to the land. What do we think of the local area?"

After finally making arrangements, Huo Chong immediately ran to the department he thought was the most important, the Mechanical Design Bureau.

When I entered the door, I saw a big guy inside. This was a 10-pound cannon made by Huo Chong after completing the reflector. The 10-pound pound in the Qing Dynasty was about 12 pounds. Huo Chong didn't care about the gap between the middle. Anyway, Huo Chong had no interest in the so-called British unit of measurement.

When the crowd saw Huo Chong coming in, they rushed up like a savior, and took various small notebooks to ask.

Huo Chong also answered and talked freely with everyone.

"Sir, how can the bearing of the twelve-pound cannon be increased by increasing the force?"

"When marching, use bearings, and before combat, use sliding parts for battlefield use. Since we can't do it, let's face it."

"Sir, the mixing equipment when firing glass..."

"Sir, how to do temperature measurement..."

"gentlemen……"

"gentlemen……"

Even with so many people asking questions in various ways, Huo Chong was not impatient. These talents are one of Huo Chong's most important pillars.

After finally answering, Huo Chong reached the most advanced technology and would use two weapons for a long time, namely the three-jin cannon and the ten-jin cannon.

The three-jin cannon has been finalized, and the grey tin casting is made from the latest completed reflector, and has undergone an 800-degree annealing process.

This thing has a range of about 350 meters, which is very light. It can be moved and operated in the mountains and deal with enemies without artillery. It is an excellent weapon.

The ten-jin cannon is suitable for large-scale field use, and is also casting of gray tin and annealing technology. Not only is the firepower strong, but the weight of the cannon is greatly reduced, and the degree of solidity has been greatly improved.

The problem we are facing now is not on the artillery, but on the artillery carriage. It is very difficult to design a cannon carriage for this thing weighing more than 2,000 pounds.

It was really difficult, especially the bearing part of the gun truck. If long-distance operations were carried out, the bearing part would easily have problems. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty adopted a very traditional gun truck. Or in other words, it was a civilian vehicle that was convenient for the installation of guns.

However, Huo Chong asked everyone to design a gun-mounted gun car to maximize the advantages of artillery. In other words, the gun car itself may not be an auxiliary component of the artillery, but a part of the artillery itself. This design idea did not exist in the Qing Dynasty, and these people had no place to learn from it.

Everyone talked for a while and felt that they understood the direction, but they had not yet thought. They could only talk about the design of the gun lens. After all, Huo Chong now has glass here, and has been working on glasses for several years, and is proficient in making convex lenses.

This is Huo Chong's daily life, and the daily life of the people struggling to move forward.

However, there are many good news, such as the commander of the Spanish fleet, Bai Siwen, is here again. The so-called commander of the fleet is really not a joke. After several years of trade between Bai Siwen and Huo Chong, they bought five new ships and formed a fleet.

Since Huo Chong occupied the coastline, Bai Siwen's fleet reached the seaside that was impossible to reach before.

As the boats traveled and transported the goods on the ship down, and then transported the goods on the land on the ship.

Bai Siwen, who was wearing commander uniform, shook hands with Huo Chong, and then gave Huo Chong a big hug, "Dear Lord Huo, you finally set up your own business. I heard that you claimed power with weakness and claimed that you were the heir to the Han regime. It was amazing. I didn't expect you to have such noble blood."

Huo Chong laughed a few times. If he hadn't played the P-society game for a few days, he would have really thought that Bai Siwen was nonsense.

However, in this era, claiming power was indeed something that could be put on the table in Europe, especially in the aristocratic circles.

Of course, what Huo Chong and the Qing Dynasty had nothing to do with these nonsense. Bai Siwen got thousands of cowhides in anger and also got the sisal that Huo Chong wanted very much. It seems that the leather made of tannin blended leather far exceeds this era is very good overseas sales?

After reading the list, Bai Siwen asked in a low voice: "Hisser Huo, do you need mercenaries?"

"I don't...no...I need. Your art instructor, give me a few shots." Huo Chong's tone was very relaxed, but he was very excited.

Bai Siwen showed a very proud look on his face. The Latin devil could not hide his pride. "Your Excellency, our Spanish Empire's artillery is the best! The Dutch and French are incomparable to us!"

Huo Chong didn't know how to expose this guy's scam for a while.

Looking at Huo Chong's expression, Bai Siwen thought Huo Chong had been deceived, so he continued to brag.

In the end, Huo Chong couldn't help it, so he slowly spoke up about the past of Europe. The past more than a hundred years ago.

In order to compete for maritime hegemony, Spain and Britain fought a world-renowned and fierce and spectacular naval battle in the English Channel in August 1588. This naval battle was powerful, advanced weapons, huge warships, and more than 30,000 troops, and called the "luckiest invincible fleet". At that time, the British army was not large in size, and the entire fleet had only 9,000 combat personnel. Compared with the two armies, there were huge differences, and Spain clearly had an absolute advantage. However, unexpectedly, the end of this naval battle ended with Spain's devastating defeat, and the "invincible fleet" was almost wiped out. From then on, Spain declined sharply, and the status of the "hegemon" at sea was replaced by Britain.

There are several statements about destruction:

First, the basic theory:

Spain's strength was just a temporary false prosperity on the surface. The Spanish King Philip II strengthened his dictatorship, plundered the people's wealth, fought for years, was tyrannical and cruel, and was squandered, which aroused the resentment of the people and the domestic crisis was everywhere. This war was simply unpopular.

The second is the miscommand statement:

Some scholars believe that the disastrous defeat of the "Invincible Fleet" was caused by the king's improper employment of people. The commander-in-chief of the fleet came from a prominent family, had a high prestige among the nobles, and was deeply trusted by the king, so he was appointed as the commander of the fleet. However, he was originally a general of the land and did not understand naval warfare at all, and had no experience in commanding the huge fleet at sea, and was seasick. He was unexpectedly appointed and had no ideological preparation or confidence to command the war. He also asked Philip II to ask another person for a high-technician, but was not approved. Just imagine, how could such a general be invincible in commanding naval warfare?

The third is the theory of natural disasters:

This statement believes that the "Invincible Armada" encountered natural disasters, not man-made disasters. The first opponent it encountered was the terrifying and invincible Atlantic winds and waves in the Atlantic Ocean. This was caused by the improper choice of the timing of entry. Shortly after the "Invincible Armada" set sail, it encountered the attack of the Atlantic storm. Many ships of the "Invincible Armada" were destroyed, freshwater leaked out from the hasty wooden barrels, and the food was rotten and deteriorated. The sailors were exhausted, and most infantrymen also lost their combat effectiveness due to seasickness. The "Invincible Armada" had lost its troops before fighting with Britain, and its combat effectiveness was greatly weakened.

He started a war with the British army with such a fleet that had lost its combat effectiveness, which led to bad luck. When he returned to China, he encountered a great storm again in the waters of northern Scotland, and some ships were swallowed by the waves or sunk. At this point, the "Invincible Fleet" had almost been wiped out.

...

When Huo Chong was telling, many Huo Chong's subordinates surrounded him and listened. Of course, a small number of Spanish who knew Chinese also came over to listen.

Bai Siwen's face changed more than a dozen times in this not-too-long statement. Finally, Bai Siwen suddenly put away all his unscrupulous expressions and asked, "Are you going to humiliate me?"

Huo Chong shook his head, "No, I just want to say. I don't understand nothing. If you think so, we can cooperate from a cooperative standpoint. Can you understand my difficulties?"

"Your Excellency's difficulty? I think the biggest difficulty you encounter is the lack of an excellent navy."

"Yes, so I'm willing to work with anyone with good intentions. If I become the emperor of China, I will open all ports for trade. So, I hope everyone can cooperate with me in the most reasonable way. It includes dispatching the best artillery instructors, including providing military equipment, and a very reasonable price."

"You are not rich. Your Excellency." Bai Siwen gave Huo Chong a nail in a gentle manner.

"Precisely because I'm not rich, I hope that all my money can get a better harvest. Of course, I'm never stingy with my collaborators."
