Warring States Eagle

The big fire in Bodo burned for a full day and night.Its fire can feel the scorching temperature even several miles away.

This fire burned down many forces in the Hakata area and people's nostalgia for the Ouchi family, and also accelerated the speed of Luo's family's rule of this area.

The only thing that dissatisfied Masara was that Naito Xingsheng and others who retreated from Hakata finally left on the Munakata's boat.Although the navy of the Luo family tried its best to stop it, the navy of the Munakata family has always been the strongest navy in the Chikuzen area. In addition, only one of the three naval teams of the Luo family came. Received support from the Hatata Navy from Iki Island, and finally watched most of the army led by Naito Xingsheng evacuate safely.

Afterwards, although the navy general Murakami pleaded guilty, Zhengliang did not punish them, but comforted them.It is a fact that the quantity and quality of the navy of the Luo family is not as good as that of the opposing camp.Zheng Liang could only hold back this breath for the time being, and take revenge after his family's shipbuilding workshop produced even more powerful ships.

On the second day after Hakata was burned, with the help of the captive Sugi Shigeki, the Sugi family in the Hakata area finally surrendered. So far, the entire western part of Chikuzen country has completely fallen into the control of the Luo family.Next, it's time to settle down.

The first important task before Zhengliang is how to deal with the problem of many defected wealthy families in this war.

Among the several wealthy families, the Harada family and the Chikushi family are the best to deal with.Zhengliang directly scattered all the rest of their clansmen and moved to Hizen, Higo and Chikugo to settle down. The original territories of these two wealthy families directly became the directly-administered territory of the Luo family, and were entrusted by Zhengliang to this place. A man of merit in the Second World War.same.The Yexu, Shangzuo, and Xiazuo counties of Yuan Qiuyue's family were also entrusted to the meritorious persons in the family.According to the law of the Luo family.These retainers who got the fief are equivalent to the local officials sent by the Luo family.They can not only obtain tax income from these territories, but also create more taxes for the Luo family.

For the Tachibana family and the Takahashi family, Masaragi retained their territories and allowed them to retain their own military power and retainers. Taxation can be done like ordinary wealthy families in the Warring States Period. The specific taxes in their own territories are determined by themselves. It is stipulated that it will be handed over every year in the form of annual tribute (the annual tribute tax rate is determined according to the law of the Luo family), and the price paid is .They need to abide by the laws of the Luo family, and the heads of the villages in the territory will be stationed separately by the Luo family.

The purpose of Zhengliang's doing this is to let the staff of the Luo family promote and supervise the implementation of the laws of the Luo family at the bottom. Roche family.

At the same time, it also set an example for the wealthy families other than the Luo family, making other wealthy families think that even if they surrendered to the Luo family, their territories would not be confiscated.Otherwise, there will never be any hostile nobles who will surrender to the Luo family in the future.Of course, Zheng Liang also had the idea of ​​letting these local snakes assist the Luo family to temporarily suppress the local temple forces.

In the same way, Masara also adopted the same method as Tachibana and Takahashi for the Chikugo Kingdom's Wenzhusho, Hoshino, and Kusano.Zhengliang believes that after a period of continuous integration and comparison.The local leaders of these rich families naturally know that it is better to be under the direct rule of that family, or else these rich families will take the initiative to accept the Luo family's system more thoroughly.Otherwise, it would only cause the local people to migrate away on their own.According to the law of the Luo family, this is not allowed, and then Zhengliang will have an excuse to deal with these wealthy families.

Compared with the above-mentioned families, the fate of some other small wealthy families in Chikugo and Chikuqian is much miserable.Since the Luo family did not take the initiative to join the Luo family when they fought against Otomo and the Ouchi Allied Forces, after the war, they were ordered to relocate the whole family one after another, and were forcibly transferred to the relatively barren areas of Hizen and Hihou. Locally, not only did they have to abide by the laws of the Luo family, but their own small army was also disbanded on the spot.These families are equivalent to becoming an alternative land reclamation army of the Luo family.

After settling these rich families, Zheng Liang immediately issued two orders.The first is to order the Cabinet to carry out a thorough inspection of the Luo family's territories located in Hizen, Higo, Chikuzen, Chikugo, and even Bungo.Since most areas of Hizen, Higo and Chikugo had already been brought under the administration of the Luo family early on, in fact this time the land inspection work was mainly concentrated in the newly acquired territories of Chikuzen, Chikugo and Bungo.The targets of this order include the powerful families who have just surrendered.

The second order is the demolition order for the walled cities in the newly occupied territory in the territory.The target of this order also includes the powerful families who have just surrendered.

The castles that were requested to be demolished include Bamboo Castle of the Kusano family, Myoken Castle of the Hoshino family, Changyan Castle of the Wenzhusuo family in the Chikugo country, and Yamanaki Castle and Akashi Castle controlled by the Luo family; Chikuzen There are Madiliang Castle, Iwakiriyama Castle, and Sugimoto Castle of the Hara Akizuki family in the country (at this time the Akizuki family has completed the migration of the ethnic group, and the forces have completely withdrawn from the western part of the Chikuzen country), the Shibata Castle of the original Chikushi family, and the Haraharada family Isamori Castle, Gaozu Mountain Castle, Takahashi’s Iwaya Castle, and Baoman Mountain Castle.The original Hakata Castle of the Sugi family has been burned, so there is no need to demolish it, and Takatoriyama Castle also does not need to be demolished, but it will be stationed in the Luo family's army.The Tachibana Mountain Castle of the Tachibana family does not need to be demolished, but the Luo family's military forces will be stationed there, and together with the Tachibana family's military forces, they will monitor the movement of the Ouchi family forces in the direction of Munakata County.

In order to serve as a demonstration, Chikugo Kora Castle, Hizen Country Asahiyama Castle, Katsuo Castle, and Mise Castle, which the Luo family has been controlling, will also be demolished.After some demolition, only the Tachibana Mountain Castle, Takatorii Castle, Kochu Mountain Castle, and Fukae Castle of the Chikuzen Kingdom remained, and the Hinaki Castle of the Bungo Kingdom was not demolished.

Regarding the demolition of their own city, the rich families of Chikugo and Chikuzen who had just surrendered to the Luo family naturally had a lot of criticism.It's just that after learning that even the old Dongxing Heiji in Luo's family didn't build his own castle, they immediately kept silent.

Of course, it was impossible for Zhengliang to allow them to keep all the fortresses in the original territory, but he didn't want to make the relationship with these retainers too rigid.So he ordered people to organize these wealthy families to visit the territories of Togo Heiji, Kinoshita Masao and others.When they saw the beautiful courtyard buildings made of bricks and tiles without the protection of the city walls, they were all envious.Zhengliang immediately stated that he would build a brick and tile compound for them to live in free of charge to compensate for their lost residence.Of course, a bowl of water must be leveled, and Zheng Liang didn't want his original generals to be dissatisfied because of this, so he also increased the territory of his original retainers.

Therefore, the generals who were originally under Zheng Liang's command were naturally extremely happy, and although the newly surrendered wealthy families still felt unwilling, the sullenness in their hearts was also dispelled a lot.

With the promulgation of a series of orders by Zhengliang and the gradual implementation of the Luo family's laws in the newly occupied territories, the rule of the Luo family gradually showed its authority.The rule of the Luo family is also getting smoother day by day.
