Warring States Eagle

() Tianwen 12th year, [-] AD, early July.It is early summer in a blink of an eye.The paddy fields outside Kishidake City are already green, and the broad Matsuura River is also sparkling with blue waves.A few children who just came out of Luo's Academy are also chasing in the wide streets of the castle town, and the merchants in the town are also beamingly welcoming the guests who enter the merchant houses from time to time.

On this day, several important retainers of the Luo family gathered in the council hall of the lord's residence city, Anyue City.

"My lord, the Shimabara, Tobira, Sensengoku, Jindai, Shimeki and other noble families in Nanhizen have been relocated according to your opinion, and the retainers have also sent new personnel to Nanhizen to take over the new territory." Dongxiang. Heiji was the first to report.

"Yeah." Zheng Liang nodded.Zhengliang now generally adopts the method of dispersing the rewards for the territories of his retainers, so as not to allow a retainer's territory to be too concentrated in one place.As for the retainers who get the territory, they just need to send some people down to receive it. Anyway, almost every territory will be managed by a village head elected by the people or directly appointed by the cabinet, even the most important agricultural tax every year. The delivered matters will also be supervised by people sent by the cabinet, and the people they send are only responsible for the management of some daily major events in the territory.

Although Nan Hizen is not very familiar with this new territorial law, but with the implementation of other laws of the Luo family, they will soon accept it.Of course, we still need to think of some ways to speed up the control of the obtained territory.Thinking of this, Masara immediately asked Arima Harujun who participated in the family appraisal for the first time as an internal affairs officer:

"Qingjun, you seem to have an unmarried daughter? How about betrotting him to the military adviser Akabane Shinnosuke?"

"Well, my lord's suggestion is good. Arima-sama's little daughter is very beautiful. And the Akabane Shinnosuke of our family is also magnificent. The two are indeed a match made in heaven." Kakukuma Ishimune immediately agreed.

Kakukuma Ishimune was a little dark this time.The last time Zhengliang forcibly betrothed a princess from the Omura family to him as a concubine.Although he did get a beautiful wife, it almost set the backyard on fire.If it wasn't for the princess's wife, Yui Hatano, who came to put out the fire in time, it is estimated that the family would be screamed by his main room.The so-called brothers in trouble, this time Masara proposed that Harumi Arima betroth his daughter to Nobunosuke Akabane, and he naturally agreed with both hands.

Of course, the comfort he gave himself in his heart was also very legitimate, not only can he use the local prestige of the Arima family to quickly settle down the territory and make contributions to the Arima family, but also get a princess of a wealthy family.And she is also a beautiful wife, Akabane Shinnosuke, as a colleague, I want to congratulate you.

"Follow my lord's order." As a new retainer and a surrendered general, Ma Qingchun has decided to keep her tail between her legs. Now that the lord has personally acted as a matchmaker, he is also happy to establish a good relationship with other important officials in the family. The close relationship came, so I agreed with the flow.

"Okay, that's the case. Send someone to inform Akabane Shinnosuke, and say that the lord of the country appreciates his contribution this time. Now he has been rewarded with a territory on the Shimabara Peninsula, and at the same time, he will marry the princess of Lord Arima I'll give it to him. Everyone, Nan Feiqian's safety depends on you." Zheng Liang finally said.Poor Akabane Shinnosuke, at this time he is still at Kodai's house in Higo Tamana County, and he has no idea that he has an extra concubine for no reason.

"Serve my lord with my life!" Seeing the Patriarch solemnly begging him, all the retainers immediately expressed their loyalty.Only Arima Qingchun looked a little embarrassed, after all, part of the territory there belonged to him.Although he also got a large piece of territory in Hizen Xiaocheng County this time, according to the laws of the Luo family, his income will be reduced, and almost all of the military force has been disbanded, and even the surrounding people are loyal to the Luo family. The territory of his retainers, and he himself was given a position that could only be engaged in internal affairs, and he couldn't even stick to military affairs. It can be said that the Arima family can no longer afford to make waves.Next, for the survival of the family, he had no choice but to obediently follow the internal affairs of the Luo family.

"Hahaha, okay, Heiji, let's continue." Zhengliang said vigorously.

"After adding the two counties of Bichu and Gaolai in Nanhizen, the income of the main family in Hizen is expected to increase to about 30 shi, and with the territories in Chikugo, Chikuzen, and Higo, the income of the main family is estimated to be 51 shi The income is around 25 people.”

Hizen has a stone height of about 31 shi. At present, except for the Goto Islands hanging alone in the sea, the rest of Hizen has been completely controlled by the Luo family.And Wudao also has a stone height of about five thousand stones.Since there are a large number of pirates occupying it, and these pirates have not violated the territorial waters of the Roche family recently, even when they traded in the area specially opened by the Roche family on Hirado Island, they followed the rules of the Roche family. So Zheng Liang didn't think about how to deal with it for a while.

Even though the Goto Islands were not included in the territory, before and after occupying Nanfei, Zhengliang became a powerful name with more than 50 shi (of course, after implementing a series of farming policies in the Luo family, the income should still be It will be known after the autumn harvest), under such power, it is natural to reward the meritorious ministers, after all, as the generals who directly participated in the Nanfeiqian expedition, in After the war, the generals who did not participate in the war also obtained fiefs in Nanfeiqian, which was obviously unfair to them.

"Heiji, since the rise of the clan, you have been serving under the leadership of the clan. It can be said that you have worked hard. From today onwards, you will officially serve as the elder of the clan. I also hope that you can do things sincerely and help the clan leader continue to prosper the martial arts of the clan. Lucky." This time, the Luo family finally had their first elder.

"My subject... Your subject is willing to die for the lord!" At this time, as a member of the Luo family, Togo Heiji had already assumed the position of ruling the cabinet of the Luo family, and at the same time was recognized by the imperial court. From the middle of the family, he will be promoted to the first elder, and he is naturally grateful.

"Isino Masaru!"

"The subject is here!"

"This time you led the cavalry squadron to sweep across most of Bichu County, allowing our family to quickly pacify Bichu County. You did a good job. I will serve as the general of my family." Considering the balance between the conservative and radical factions in the family.Coupled with the performance of Masahiro Isano this time.Masara promoted Isino Motomasho's general from the valet general to a general.In less than two years after joining the Luo family, Masahiro Isano has risen from an ordinary samurai to a general second only to the old man, and his upgrade speed can be said to be like a rocket.Zhengliang also used Isano Yuanchang as an example to make all the retainers and soldiers realize that as long as they serve the family loyally and get credit, Zhengliang will definitely not treat him badly.

"Your servant must die!"

"Since Akana Mitsukiyo and Tanao Nakamoto were young when they started their careers, and they were already generals of the cavalry of their own family. This time, they will no longer be promoted as generals, and they will be rewarded with [-] knowledgeable places in Nagasaki and Saikai each. You go back and bring them the Andu document of the lord of the country." The Nagasaki Peninsula West Sea is located at the mouth of Omura Bay. Whenever the sun sets, a large vortex will form on the nearby sea surface. It is a famous scenic spot in later generations. .

"Your servant takes orders!" Masahiro Isano immediately took orders.

"Yuancheng Temple Xinyin!"

"My lord, this time the Sixth Standing Ashgaru Division you led captured Haowu Castle in time, and arrived at the hinterland of the Omura family's territory on time according to the order of your country's lord, and made a contribution to our family's quick pacification of Bichu County and Gaolai County. Contribute, and be promoted to the servant general of the family. The accompanying document Shigeta is promoted to the ashigaru general."

"I will wait for death!" Xinyin of Yuancheng Temple thanked him gratefully.Because he was born in the faction of Yuan Shaoer's family and Longzhaosi's family.He has been doing things carefully, and this time he was promoted by Zhengliang.He suddenly became the third general in the family after Kinoshita Masunao and Yoshida Shigemasa, and he was naturally very grateful.

"Asakura Sodi!"

"The subject is here!"

"I have indeed seen your bravery to persuade the people in the mountain to surrender, defeat the powerful enemy, and kill the enemy general. Now I officially appoint you as the ashigaru general of the family." Prior to this, Asakura Zongdi was still in the period of loyalty inspection, and his general qualifications were returned. Those who have not been fully determined are now finally recognized by Zheng Liang.Even this time, a territory was obtained in the Isahaya area of ​​Gaolai County in Nanhizen.That territory was right near Gaocheng where the Luo family's army was facing off against the Omura's and Xixiang's armies, so it could be called a fertile land.For this, Asakura Sodi was already very grateful.He has recently taken a fancy to the daughter of Onishi Kuniji, another important minister of the Luo family, and he plans to formally ask someone to propose marriage in the near future.

"Thank you, my lord!" Asakura Sodi said happily.Now that he has a territory and an identity, the marriage proposal this time will definitely go more smoothly.So he was already happily fantasizing about being the bridegroom's wife in his heart.

As an admirer of the Hancang family's "Military God", now he has finally embarked on the road to becoming the "Military God".

Since then, Zhengliang has rewarded those who have made meritorious deeds one by one.After the reward was over, Zhengliang adjusted the deployment of troops again.

Enjoji Shinyin, Komon Shigetada, and the newly joined Kuroki Miren Kuroki, the former governor of the Kuroki family, headed the Sixth Standing Ashgaru Division, and their resident was changed to Fukuda Castle on the Nagasaki Peninsula in Minamihizen.The focus is on the stability of Nanfeiqian, assisting the navy to guard against threats from the sea, especially the threat from the Five Islands Pirates.

The first standing ashigaru team led by Tanane Kane, Tetsunosuke, and Asakura Sodi will be stationed at Rinoe Castle and Hara Castle on the Southern Hizen Shimabara Peninsula.Assist the navy to guard against maritime threats from the powerful clans of Higo and Amakusa Islands across Shimabara Bay.

After the adjustment of the locations of the two squadrons, Hirota Castle, Songju Castle, Songgang Castle, Haowu Castle, Quanguan Prison Castle, Gaocheng, Jingu Castle, Jindai Castle, Shoushan Castle, Bincheng Castle, and Shenjiang Castle in Hizen Kingdom will be adjusted. Remove them step by step.

Due to the annexation of the naval forces of the powerful families such as the Arima family and the Omura family and the Xixiang family, the Luo family’s navy has also been expanded. After weighing it, Masarai decided to expand the navy. The standing scale is about 500 people.

After the expansion, each of the three naval fleets has 35 ships and [-] small ships.Zhengliang also redeployed the garrisons of the second and third navy divisions.

The second standing water army, led by Kunatsu and the newly surrendered former Minamihizen rich family Fukuda Kaneji, is stationed at Ugoshi Castle and Amazaki Castle in Hizen Hichi County and Funakoshi Castle in Matsuura County. The main guard areas are Hirado waters and the coast of Nagasaki Island, guard against threats from the sea, especially the threat of the Goto pirates.

The [-]rd Standing Navy Division, led by Masatora Tao and Takeshi Murakami, is stationed at Uki Castle, Hara Castle, and Antoku Castle in Nanhizen Plateau County. The main guard areas are the Ariake Sea, Shimabara Bay, and Tachibana Bay. Threats, especially the maritime threats from the Higo clans across Shimabara Bay and the powerful clans on the Amakusa Islands.

After re-deployment and adjustment of the various teams, Zheng Liang soon encountered a new problem, that is, the problem of the source of troops for the navy.
