Warring States Eagle

On the morning of November 21, Tianwen Nine Years. () Mansion of Lord Notakayama on the Higashi-Matsuura Peninsula in Hizen Higashi-Matsuura-gun.

It has been more than a month since the Patriarch's last evaluation before he went to the Ming Dynasty.Now that the Patriarch finally came back, a comprehensive assessment was about to be carried out, and the retainers rushed back one after another.Even Chujiro and others who were farthest away rushed back to their home outside the Lord Ye Gaoshan's mansion overnight with a torch, waiting for the assessment to be held tomorrow morning.

Early in the morning, these vassals came in groups of three or four to the council hall of the lord's mansion, Waimaru, where they exchanged warm greetings and heatedly discussed the return of the lord.

Their topics were nothing more than two. One was that they were sincerely happy for the Patriarch's return. After all, everyone felt quite uneasy when the Patriarch was away. The other was that the Patriarch had completed his visit to the Ming Kingdom.Ming country is a mysterious country to them, and some of them don't even know such a country as Ming country.But now, not only their patriarch has returned, but it is said that he also brought back a ship as huge as a hill.Now among the citizens of the territory, it is even rumored that the lord miraculously performed miracles, not only caught a few "ghosts", but also obtained a divine ship.For a time, the territory was filled with words of praise to the lord.The citizens also admired their lord more and more.

It can be said that this time Zhengliang's trip was complete.It not only improved the centripetal force and cohesion of the retainers, but also greatly enhanced Zhengliang's own prestige among the leaders.

"There is such a thing?" At this time, in the lounge next to the meeting hall.Yinuo, who is in charge of closely monitoring the situation in the territory, is reporting the matter to Zhengliang.

"I didn't expect to come back this time, but there was such a misunderstanding!" Zheng Liang muttered to himself.It turned out that he only came back yesterday, and by this morning, it had been spread throughout the territory that the Patriarch had performed miracles.Caught several ghosts and got news of a divine ship.

"Let me secretly publicize that those few are not ghosts, but distinguished guests of the Patriarch, who were sent by the Hachiman Bodhisattva to assist the Lord." Zheng Liang thought for a while, and finally gave Yinuo.After all, these southern barbarians are indeed distinguished guests of the Luo family. Once they are allowed to know their image in the hearts of the local people, they really don't know what will happen.

Yinuo bowed and accepted the order.After Zhengliang's guidance.Yinuo has fully understood the importance of his work.For example, now, he is assisting the lord to secretly manipulate the ideology and public opinion of the territory.Well, according to the meaning of the Patriarch, this word is called ideology and public opinion.

. . . . . .

"Master Patriarch is here!" With the shout of the little surname Yoshinomaru at the door.Zhengliang walked into the gate of the meeting hall.

Today Masaragi put on a brand new kimono specially made for him by Kikuhime.Holding the Ji Gang Yiwen in his hand, which had been maintained by the artisans of the territory, he walked to the position of Patriarch of the meeting hall, followed by two followers.These two close followers are exactly the disciples of the Luo's Dojo opened by Zhengliang in Yegao Village.Now all the disciples in this dojo have become Zhengliang's close servants.

After arriving at the Patriarch's seat and standing still, Zheng Liang handed the knife to a servant.The latter slowly enshrined the knife on a knife holder.

Zheng Liang turned around slowly, then slowly knelt down and sat down.

"Meet the Patriarch" All the vassals immediately fell to the ground.Salute to Zhengliang in unison.

"Exemption," Zheng Liang said with a wave of his right hand.Then he glanced majestically at the retainers.

This time, all the retainers of the Luo family arrived.

The first position on the right belongs to Togo Heiji, a veteran minister and a member of the family. Now he is mainly responsible for the daily civil and agricultural work of the entire territory, and he is the writer of the family. Tax management is his most important responsibility.Now he is the chief attendant general at home.

The second person on the right is also the helper of the group.As a home material implementation, it manages all the materials in the home that have entered the warehouse.Except for the Patriarch, no one should even think of asking him for even a single grain of rice in private.Known as the "iron cock" of the Luo family.

The third person on the right is Liu Le, a staff member of the Ming Dynasty newly recruited by Zhengliang.He followed Zheng Liang back to the territory only yesterday.Not long after Zhengliang rushed back to the lord's mansion.He also took his unmarried daughter-in-law to the residence that Zheng Liang arranged for them in the village outside the lord's mansion.Today is the first time to participate in the Roche home assessment meeting.After learning of his ranking, he panicked for a while.Finally, I bit the bullet and sat there.Although he was still a little nervous at the moment, he still appeared calm on the surface.It was the first time he appeared in front of the Luo family's retainers, since the head of the family had given him such an eye-catching position, he had no choice but to behave calmly.At the same time, I was also touched by Zheng Liang's death as a confidant.

The fourth person on the right is the family's official family who adheres to wooden loyalty.Responsible for all external diplomatic work of the Luo family.

The fifth and sixth on the right are the brothers Yinuo Jianbantou and Yiruo, the leader of the ninja black eagle.Yinuo is responsible for the daily surveillance inside the territory and the collection of powerful intelligence outside.The Ninja Army is a special force responsible for the special missions issued by Masara.

After the seventh on the right are Sasuke Roshi, Masahide Roshi and Shingoro Roshi who were born with minor surnames.These three people are currently the military order of the [-]st, [-]nd, [-]rd, and [-]th standing Ashgaru squads in the territory respectively.Responsible for the statistical rewards and punishments of military merits and the daily ideological education of the team.

Look to the left again.

Sitting first on the left is Onishi Kuniji, serving as a family servant.Leading the second standing ashigaru squadron to guard against the Huko family in the east direction of the territory.

Sitting in the second place is General Tsuda Hiromune.The Sashi family, who commanded the third standing Ashgaru squadron, guarded the south of the territory.Today, this guy changed his usual playful expression to a serious one.Seeing Zheng Liang's gaze, I immediately straightened his chest, as if I was serious about participating in the evaluation.

Sitting in third place was Hirasa Masamune.As an ashigaru general in the family, he is in charge of commanding the fourth squadron to defend the coastal area in the northwest of the territory.The main opponents are some pirates entrenched on the coast who live in no fixed place.

Sitting fourth is Chujiro.As an ashigaru general, temporarily act as the deputy commander of the first standing ashigaru team, responsible for guarding the southwest area of ​​the territory.On the other side of the mountains there is the oldest Hada in Matsuura County.Masara sighed secretly when he saw Chujiro.It seems that someone who can replace Chujiro must be arranged as soon as possible. After all, Chujiro has repeatedly expressed his wish to concentrate on blacksmithing, become a craftsman, and revive the great cause of his ancestors.

Sitting fifth is Sun Wulang, the general of the navy.He is mainly responsible for commanding the Luo family's water army to ensure the safety of the Luo family's waters between Xiangdao and Kabe Island, and to combat some pirates lurking there.The point is to cooperate with Hisa Masada to fight against pirates on the Ribi Peninsula.

Sitting sixth is the family's new retainer, the family's iron cannon general, Ander.Because he is too tall and not used to kneeling, the sitting posture of this guy is a bit speechless.And this guy still has a headache, he can't understand Japanese, so there are certain difficulties in daily communication.Luckily this guy could speak Chinese, so Zhengliang arranged for an interpreter for him.This interpreter is a student from the Roche Institute, who can speak both Japanese and Mandarin.After more than half a year of careful management, the first batch of students who participated in the school's study were barely able to participate in the work of the territory.According to Zhengliang's order, these people immediately joined the children's study classes organized in various towns, and as teachers, they were responsible for educating the newly joined children.Moreover, through the vigorous promotion of the combination of Zhengliang and territorial laws, the custom of sending school-age children to study in schools has become a habit of the citizens, and there have been no conflicts.

The seventh is the command of the Navy Army Mufu Hunatong, who is also responsible for the military rewards and punishments and ideological education of the navy.But according to Zhengliang's knowledge, what he usually does, such as leading a patrol in person, is more like what a general of the navy would do.But anyway, Zheng Liang originally planned to use this position to sharpen his temper. As for his future position, he must be in charge of commanding the navy.

After the eighth place are Masao Kinoshita, Shigemasa Yoshida, Hidemasa Mingfeng and Aguda.These four people are all Zheng Liang's close servants for the time being, but after following Zheng Liang for a period of time, they will be assigned to appropriate positions.For example, Masao Kinoshita will definitely be able to lead an army alone in the future.Yoshida Shigemasa, as a bow and arrow teacher, occasionally showed his skills in the Roche Dojo, teaching those Masaragi's close servants, and at the same time regularly organized the archers of the standing ashigaru teams and even the samurai teams to practice archery and archery.Mingfeng Xiuzheng will soon follow Master Xuanru to study medicine and become a physician in the future army.As a falconer, Aguda took his two Haidongqings to follow Zhengliang during the war and was responsible for air surveillance. In his spare time, he was responsible for breeding and domesticating more falcon dogs for Zhengliang, expanding air surveillance and even communication capabilities.

After scanning, Zheng Liang straightened his body, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, during my trip to the Ming Dynasty, I thank you all for sticking to your duties and ensuring the stability of the Luo family's territory during this period. In order to express my gratitude, I have sent someone to Everyone sent gifts from the Ming Kingdom to the homes in the village outside the mansion." This time Zheng Liang returned from the Ming Kingdom, and before he went to deal with Huahua Taishuai and others alone, he entrusted Wang Hai to buy a lot of gifts.After Wang Hai arrived at Zhengliang's territory ahead of time, he had sent all the materials related to the Luo family to the Luo family's mansion, and had been put into the warehouse by Xingzhu.It is worth mentioning that these supplies included 350 taels of silver left by Zheng Liang in the cottage.Although Zheng Liang said that the silver would be used as resettlement funds for Wang Hai to assist in relocating refugees from the Ming Dynasty to the woodland of the Luo family, the shrewd Wang Hai only left over 100 taels, and the remaining 350 taels were brought back to the Luo family. territory.After returning last night, Masamori had ordered Xingsuke to send those gifts to the homes of the retainers in batches today.
