Warring States Eagle

In addition to obtaining Tsushima Island, the reputation of the Luo family has spread far and wide, which has led to many wanderers and people coming to settle in the Luo family, and even taking refuge in the Luo family.

For example, it is the earliest author of agricultural books in this period of the Japanese country recorded in history, an expert in agronomy, Matsuura Zongan.This person proposed new farming laws to many daimyos, which increased the grain income of many daimyo's territories.He happened to be traveling in the Shikoku area before, and after learning about the situation of the Luo family, he rushed to the Luo family's territory.After the territory's cabinet learned about his talents, he immediately recommended him to the lord Zhengliang. After a formal assessment and passed, Zhengliang appointed him as the head of agriculture to be responsible for researching agricultural cultivation and crop disease prevention in various parts of the territory.

For talents like Matsuura Zongjian, they value more that they want to work under a daimyo who respects and supports him. Although Matsuura Zongjian has served under many daimyos in the past, they don't feel that he has received much attention.Moreover, many of the novel farming methods they proposed did not even get the approval of these big names, which was why he often couldn't stay in one place for too long.But this time, after some communication with his lord Masara, Matsuura was pleasantly surprised to find that his lord not only respected his talents, but also had many novel ideas about agriculture, which made him very happy.After being encouraged by Zheng Liang, he immediately followed the retainers of the Cabinet to investigate the various territories of the Luo family in Kyushu. He was determined to write a book on the agricultural geography and agricultural characteristics of each region so that the Luo family could manage the various regions more conveniently. of farming.In addition to talents from all walks of life like the Matsuura case, wanderers and people from Xiguo, Shikoku, Kinki, Dongkai and other places also kept pouring into the territory of the Luo family because of this situation.It even led to the emergence of a kind of transport businessman specializing in transporting people to the border of the Luo family's territory in Sakaimachi and other areas.In the end, this situation even evolved into a specialized transportation industry.Transport both people and goods.The emergence of this situation naturally accelerated the speed of trade with various places and the Luo's family, bringing a lot of people to the Luo's family, and at the same time brought a lot of commercial benefits.

Of course, as the saying goes, if there is a gain, there will be a loss. In this attack on the Western Kingdom, the Luo family also lost a lot.Take retainers and generals as an example, so far.The Luo family has already killed seven generals in this West Country Raider. They are the second standing ashigaru squad lieutenants Kuroki Miren and Ozabu Namochi; the third standing ashigaru squad lieutenants Shimabara Junshige , Chengjing Zhengfang; the deputy general of the fourth standing ashigaru squad asked Zhusuo Jianjing; the bow of the third standing navy squad Uku Junsada;

These generals were mainly killed in the cage city battles in various places.This is also the headache of fighting in the Warring States period. A large number of city walls built on various hilltops caused great distress and trouble to the army of the raiders. When the army attacked these city walls, they often suffered a lot of damage. .Of course, the best way to capture these strongholds is naturally to use gunpowder to blast the city gates, but due to the original restrictions such as saltpeter, the Luo family's gunpowder is actually not much, and it can only meet the needs of iron cannons at present. .Besides, the quality of the gunpowder developed by the Luo family is not good.More importantly, the enemy guarding the city are not fools.It is not easy to let you approach their walled city, so in the process of burying gunpowder.Naturally, there will be a lot of damage.Afterwards, after the city gate was blasted, there was another fierce battle in the city, so after accumulating so many fortresses, the Luo family naturally suffered a lot of damage.In addition to the above-mentioned generals, 130 and three samurai who were the main force of each reserve team of the Luo family died in battle, a total of 210 five standing soldiers and 660 eight standing or temporary peasant soldiers died in battle.There are more than 5000 people who are seriously or slightly injured. Among them, more than 200 people in the permanent reserve of the Luo family will retire due to serious injuries, and more than 1000 people in the reserve or temporary farmers and soldiers will be disabled.It can be said that this time the Itsukushima and Xiguo Raiders have suffered the most serious loss of personnel since the Luo family started.It was also because of such serious battle damage that Zhengliang did not take a strong attack to deal with Huanglong City and Nuocheng, which were still stubbornly resisting at this time, and even slowed down the frequency of attack during the confrontation with the Maori family. Spend.

Of course, since the loss of Luo's family is so serious, the record of this battle is naturally very impressive.Judging from the data collected from various battlefields, a total of more than 3000 heads of the enemy (including those of the Ouchi family and the Mori family) have been obtained so far. After all, this record belongs to these two families), and more than 2 prisoners were taken into account (not including the more than [-] prisoners who were released back to Beihou, Beizhong, and Bizen).There were at least [-] enemy soldiers who were not captured because they fled too fast. These scattered soldiers were basically local farmers and soldiers recruited temporarily, and they all ran home to hide after they broke up.At the same time, more than [-] enemy retainers and generals such as Yamazaki Xingsheng, Jiang Liangxianxuan, Noda Changfang, Sudu Longkang, Uno Normal, and Noma Takashi were captured, and they were surrendered by these retainers and generals.

In this battle, a total of more than 6 people were invested in the Luo family, from the regular, reserve, and temporarily recruited peasants and soldiers to the retainers of various institutions of the Luo family who joined in the process.From the start of preparation to the complete occupation of the Ouchi family's territory, it took a total of more than eleven months.Of course, it was precisely because the Luo family invested so much power that it took more than two years for the Luo family to completely annex the Ouchi family's territory, the Maori family, which is much better.

For the retainers and ordinary soldiers who died in this battle, they will receive different degrees of pensions according to their ranks. These pensions include donations of money and food, land, houses, preferential taxation, and promotion of the rank of the vassals. The pension will be sent directly to their family members by someone sent by the Cabinet.Their family members will be properly arranged, and their children will also have the opportunity to study in Roche University for free.And these generals and soldiers (even peasants and soldiers) received military merit awards during their lifetime, and they will be sent to their families by the Military Pavilion under the tracking of each division.

For the standing staff who have retired due to disability, new missions will be arranged jointly by the Cabinet of the Interior, the Cabinet of the Military, and the Cabinet of Intelligence. Under normal circumstances, they will be assigned to various places in the territory according to their respective performances. The most basic institutional personnel, such as becoming the head of a village, are responsible for the village's farming, security, and daily compulsory training.Similarly, regardless of whether it is the disabled standing or the general reserve standing, temporary peasants and soldiers, they will receive sufficient pensions to ensure that their families will not be ruined because of this.Of course, their exploits in battle will not be forgotten.

Therefore, in the Luo family, the easiest way to transform from a poor family to a rich family is to join the Luo family's army. If they are killed or disabled during the attack or resisting the enemy, the family will receive a high salary. Even if there is no death or injury, if you can perform your duties safely until you retire, then you can bring a lot of wealth to your family in the process, and there will be secure arrangements after retirement.Therefore, the Luo family's army is the most valiant when fighting. After all, it represents enough wealth and rights, and at the same time, the family members in the family will also get enough protection.

And the pension system of the Luo family has also led to a kind of ruthlessness in the military of the Luo family. After all, they will not receive pensions if they are disabled or die due to escape or lack of battle on the battlefield. In this case, many soldiers are in trouble. At that time, it will arouse ruthlessness instead (it is death anyway, so it is better to fight to the death with the hostile army, so as to bring relief to the family).Such a kind of ruthlessness gradually integrated into the various preparations of the Luo family, thus gradually forming the unique military spirit of the Luo family.

Of course, these military forces of the Luo family also know from the teachings of the military members in their respective armies that everything they own and their families are endowed by the Luo family. The Luo family naturally became more loyal.
