Warring States Eagle

"Your Highness, Chujiro was injured during the defense of Kishidake Castle. Now he has been sent back to Zhongxiao Temple in Ye Gaoshan to be treated by Master Xuanru himself. Before leaving, he asked his servants to deliver this letter to His Highness." After Zhengliang re-appointed the commanders of each team, Kosuke immediately reported it.

After finishing speaking, Xingsuke handed the letter to Takekichi Murakami who came to him after Masara signaled him.

After Murakami Takekichi took the letter, he respectfully delivered the letter to Zhengliang.

Zheng Liang took the letter, opened it and read it.In the letter, Chujiro first expressed his congratulations to Masara, then changed the topic, and proposed to Masara again to step down as the deputy commander of the first standing ashigaru squad, and then take charge of forging and revitalizing the reputation of his ancestors.

After reading the letter, Masaragi lowered his head and sighed, and then said to Xingsuke: "Forget it, allow Chujiro to step down as the commander of the first standing ashigaru squadron, and I will be in charge for the time being. Tell Chujiro that the ironware house in the territory of the family is Leave it to him." The ironware house run by the Luo family's wife is in need of manpower, and Chujiro after retiring is the right manpower.

"Yes, Your Highness," Xingsuke said with a somewhat disappointed expression.At this moment, the curtain really fell in his heart. It turned out that the wild mountain bandits, with Chujiro's retirement, now he is the only one left.

"This time, how are the casualties in the main family?" After adjusting some important positions, Masamune then looked at Togo Heiji and asked.

"Your Highness, this time we have experienced multiple battles with the Huzi family and the Allied Forces of Hata, and the casualties were relatively serious," Dongxiang Heiji said with his head bowed.

"Say" Zhengliang said.

"Three retainers of our family were killed in this battle. There were 11 cloaks, 21 low-level samurai, 58 standing ashigaru, and 130 farmers and soldiers; there were countless wounded. After some of the wounded recovered, it is estimated that they could no longer participate in the battle. After receiving Masaragi's order, Togo Heiji slowly picked up the account book and read it in a low voice.

Even Zheng Liang, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave all of a sudden, and his whole body was icy cold.The loss of three generals is already a great injury.Now the regular forces have also suffered great damage.When you know the strength of Luo's family, there are no more than 40 cloaks, no more than 30 low-level samurai, and only 200 ashigaru standing.Now even if the injured are not counted, the number of people killed in battle has already greatly weakened the standing combat power of the Luo family. ** In such a situation, Zheng Liang is of course heartbroken.

"In addition, due to repeated battles, the weapons of our family have also suffered a lot of wear and tear." Dongxiang Heiji continued to report, "The military reserve food has also consumed more than 800 shi. According to His Highness's promise, more than [-] slaves in the territory will also All turned into the citizens of the territory."

After Togo Heiji finished speaking, the assembly hall fell into silence.Although the Luo family won this time.But it also means a bit of a miserable victory.Of course, this time the Luo family's small fish fight the big fish, if they want to win, this is the price they must pay.

"Yeah" after a moment of silence.Zhengliang opened his mouth and ordered, "All the warriors who died in battle, including farmers and soldiers, are buried in the 'hero cemetery' in Yegao Mountain. In addition to the military regulations of our family, we must organize various teams to pay homage to the cemetery every year. To show respect to the heroes who died in battle for their own family and buried in this tomb."

"Well, the students of Luo's Academy also participate in grave sweeping regularly," Zheng Liang continued.This can be regarded as patriotic education.

When Dongxiang Heiji heard the words, he immediately picked up the pen and paper handed over by Yoshinomaru and recorded it.

"Warriors who died in battle will be compensated strictly in accordance with the Territory's Pension Law. Injured warriors must be properly resettled. Warriors who can no longer participate in battle after recovery will be added to the new ashigaru training camp in the territory, responsible for the first month of newly recruited ashigaru training guidance; or assign them to the newly occupied villages to assist in the management of the villages.”

"As for the slaves in the original territory, fulfill the promise of the family, return them to freedom, and fulfill the reward promise of the family, but make sure that they can only stay in the territory of the home to settle. The slaves who died in this battle are also buried in the 'Hero's Tomb ', those rewards managed to be handed over to their families," Zheng Liang continued to order.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this will consume a lot of food!" A retainer said immediately.In the eyes of most of the vassals, it is already a great favor for those slaves to gain freedom or even become citizens, and to be able to settle in the territory of the Luo family, and the rewards need not be mentioned at all.

"No," Zheng Liang flatly denied, "This is my promise to the citizens of the Luo family, which is equivalent to the law of the territory. Do you want me to violate my promise and the law of the territory?" In Zheng Liang's view, treating one's own people It is necessary to keep promises, but it is not necessary to do so with enemies.Moreover, Zheng Liang also intended to let the retainers realize that he is the territorial law, and the territorial law cannot be easily violated or changed.

"Your Highness is wise!" All the retainers below were all moved after hearing this, and bowed down to Zheng Liang one after another.

"This time, our family captured a total of 720 heads from the Huzi family and the Bodo allied forces, and captured 250 six people. We seized more than 5000 spears of various types, more than [-] swords, and a total of [-] stones of grain, gold and silver. More than [-] taels and more than [-] copper coins." After receiving Masahiro's hint, Dongxiang Heiji continued to report.

"Yeah." Zhengliang nodded.Compared with the tragic report just now, the news I got at this point is much better.

"The iron and copper materials are still being cleared, and it is expected to be tens of thousands of catties. In terms of population, they are also being registered in accordance with the territorial laws. It is estimated that the population of our territory will be more than [-]."

"In terms of income from the territory, including the business income of the family, it is expected to reach about [-] shi." Togo Heiji finally spoke about the situation of Shigao in the territory almost tremblingly.

"Ah?", "Congratulations, Your Highness!", "The Luo family's martial arts are prosperous!"

Sure enough, after Dongxiang Heiji said the result, all the retainers were elated.

Fifty thousand stone?Zheng Liang also pondered after listening.The original strength of Bodo is also equivalent to a tycoon with an income of [-] shi, but Bodo's income is also added to Iki's income.This time, Zhengliang added up the income of East Matsuura and North Matsuura, plus some income such as snow salt, and it was indeed almost the same.If Zhengliang is given another one to two years, Zhengliang can completely rely on the current territory to reach an income of [-] shi.

After the retainers gradually calmed down, Zheng Liang began to give orders again.

"In terms of weapons, replace all the soldiers with the latest weapons. As for the damaged weapons in this battle, they will be handed over to Ye Gaoshan's weapon workshop for repair. At the same time, among the seized weapons, those that do not meet the specifications of our own weapons will also be repaired. All will be handed over to Weaponry Workshop for transformation," Zheng Liang said.At present, the weapons of the Luo family try to adopt a unified standard, such as long spears, and the only ones in the unified system are the three guns.As for the weapon workshop, after adding more than a dozen craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty, and adding the Japanese craftsmen originally hired or kidnapped by the Luo family, the current scale of the weapon workshop has reached 20 people, which can barely Undertook this task.

"Those iron materials are transported to the warehouse of the Ye Gaoshan lord's mansion and stored as war preparations." Zheng Liang continued to order, "The copper materials can be contacted with Wang Hai and Zuo Moyang who are still stranded at the port of Banwuwan in our family. This batch of copper material is of great interest."

"The rest of the weapons were transported to the warehouse of the Ye Gaoshan lord's mansion for storage," Zheng Liang said.

"In terms of bows and arrows, only the fetal bow and heavy rattan bow are left, and the rest of the bows and arrows are handed over to Shinya Shaoce and Amada Nobuyasu, and tell them to find a way to replace them with fetal bows," Zhengliang said.After feeling the power of the bow and tire bow, Zheng Liang was no longer interested in other less powerful bows and arrows.For this reason, he is even willing to sell the rest of the bows and arrows, and then replace them with expensive tire bows.

"The gold and silver will be transported to the Ye Gaoshan warehouse. As for the copper coins, we will take some of them and negotiate with the Shenwu family to buy a batch of cattle," Zheng Liang ordered.As the big and small tycoons headed by Bota retreat to Iki, they will inevitably strengthen their control over Iki. If Bota completely controls the foreign trade of Iki Island, the Luo family, which has a bad relationship with it, will not be able to obtain cattle from it. Therefore, Masamori Let the Kamiya family buy another batch of farm cattle before Bodo fully controls the trade in Iki.With the expansion of the territory this time, the population and cultivated land will inevitably increase greatly, and the demand for cattle will also increase accordingly.For this reason, Zhengliang must plan ahead.

"Yes, Your Highness." Togo Heiji, Xingsuke, and Liu Le, who were in charge of cleaning up these supplies, bowed immediately to accept the order.

"Your Highness, our family has just occupied the territory, and the local people have not completely returned to their hearts. Should we speed up the implementation of the laws of the territory?" Dongxiang Heiji inquired.

"Well, the implementation of the territorial law must be accelerated." Zheng Liang nodded and said, "In this way, a group of people who are familiar with the territorial law will be selected from the original territory of the East Songpu Peninsula to serve in the newly occupied villages to be responsible for the implementation of the territorial law. Those soldiers who could no longer participate in the post-war battle after their injuries were also arranged as much as possible to these places to be responsible for the implementation of military laws," Zheng Liang said.

"Your Highness, if this happens, I'm afraid it will lead to resistance from those in the village!" Dongxiang Heiji said immediately.

"Hmph, resistance is just a guy with a certain strength in the village." Zheng Liang snorted softly, "Pass me an order, all guys of this type in the territory of the Yuan Huzi family, Bodo, and Sashi family need to accept the territorial arrangement Togo Heiji and Onishi Kuniji are responsible for the specific matters, and the relocation must be completed within one month, and the rebels will be killed directly." Although these guys are not small local tyrants, they have the strength to transform into small local tyrants , and it is a potential unstable factor in the territory. When you are strong, they will obey like sheep. Once there is a crisis, they are likely to become a poisonous snake that bites people in the back. Therefore, Zhengliang is determined to take the method of relocation. Minimize their influence and completely eliminate this hidden danger. . . )
