The reason why Hakuho would promote Hattori Heiji, who had just joined the Guards Battalion, was to buy off the loyalty of Hattori Yasujo and Hattori Hanzo, and everyone present knew this, so none of them would speak out against the Governor's decision.
In the final analysis, the price Bai Feng paid was just a false name of a general, and it did not affect the interests of anyone else;
"Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi, the two of you have worked hard and made great achievements in the battle of reunification, but your own position as commander is an exceptional promotion; therefore, your achievements in this battle will be used as a certificate for you to serve as the commander of the Yanhuang Standing Army, and no other reward will be given. β
"Hey!" Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi, who had been prepared for a long time, did not show a surprised look.
"The matter of rewarding meritorious deeds has come to an end for the time being, and you can find me after the meeting if you have any other opinions. After a simple sentence as a concluding remark, Bai Feng adjusted his sitting posture and continued: "Now it's time to discuss business, you guys take a look at this first." β
With that, Bai Feng handed the thick stack of papers in his hand to Thales on the side, and asked Thales to distribute the stack of papers to the retainers present;
"With the reunification of the Mutsu Kingdom, I will soon leave the family with the soldiers of the personal guard battalion, before I leave the family, I need to make arrangements for the affairs of the Mutsu Kingdom, and this defense area plan is my measure to solve the affairs of the Mutsu Kingdom, what do you think?"
"Lord, is this plan too rough?" As soon as Bai Feng's words fell, Sanada Masayuki, who was sitting on the right side after Nanbu Shinnao, raised an objection;
"Chang Xing, you think this plan is too rough, in fact, this is precisely the advantage of this plan, I can tell you for sure that after I leave the family this time, it is impossible to return to the family for at least two years, or even longer than two years.
With such a long period of time, there is no guarantee of what will happen in the future, and any detailed and specific plan is based on accurate intelligence, so I have no way to make a detailed and specific plan for the defense zone. β
"Lord, do you mean to hand over the affairs in the defense area to the generals of the defense area to handle flexibly?" Sanada Masayuki first asked in surprise, and then asked himself without waiting for Bai Feng to answer: "In this way, is the power of the defense area commander too great?"
Sanada Masayuki's last question not only stunned Bai Feng, but also made the other retainers in the assessment room stunned; everyone did not expect that Sanada Masayuki, who could have been the chief general of the Gaoshui Temple City Defense District, would actually raise the question of tying his hands and feet.
"Changyuki, you really surprised me. Bai Feng, who smiled slightly, did not immediately answer Sanada Masayuki's question, but said something that seemed reasonable but unexpected, and then Bai Feng explained to the retainers in the assessment room:
"It was my deliberate decision to divide the restored Michinoku into three independent defense districts, and the Sanhe Castle Defense District, with Michinohe Castle as the core, will become the core area of our family's key development, and the old Ichiro Minami Toshinao will serve as the head of the defense area.
The Takasuji Castle Defense Zone, with Takasuji Castle as the core, will become a barrier area to defend the southern part of our family, with Sanada Masayuki as the head of the defense area, Iwasichim Yoshikyo as the deputy head of the defense area, and the Sanada Standing Army and the Iwashimizu Standing Army will be the main forces of the defense area.
The Ishikawa Castle Defense Zone, with Ishikawa Castle as the core, will become a barrier area to defend the northwest of our family, and Kukuto Yasuma and Quanshan Kokang will jointly serve as the head of the defense area, and the Yanhuang Standing Army and the Quanshan Standing Army will be the main forces of the defense area.
On top of the three defense districts, a group of family veterans was formed by seven family veterans, including Nanbu Toshinao, Shikita Kanyasu, Numata Yumitsu, Hattori Yasagi, Kanehira Tsunori, Ogasawara Nobuyoshi, and Morioka Nobumoto. β
"My lord, is the Yanhuang Standing Army in the Ishikawa Castle Defense District all the Yanhuang Standing Army?"
"It's not. The Yanhuang Standing Army in the Ishikawa Castle Defense District is only the Yanhuang Standing Army under the command of General Yasuma Kunohe; In response to Sanada Nobuyo's question, Bai Feng immediately gave his own answer.
"Lord, what is the specific city plan of each defense area?" This is Quanshan Gukang's question, his identity is indeed a little embarrassing; he is the lord of the wild border dungeon, and he is also the head of the Ishikawa city defense area, the crux of the problem is that the wild border dungeon does not seem to belong to the Ishikawa city defense area.
"According to the preliminary plan, the Sanhe Castle Defense District is based on the Minohe Castle and includes Hachinohe Castle and the Nobe Castle, the Takasuiji Castle Defense District is based on the Takasuiji Castle and includes the Bian Seishi Imperial Palace, and the Ishikawa Castle Defense District is based on Ishikawa Castle and includes the Fukushima Castle and the Nanaoka Imperial Palace.
I know that your position as the lord of the Wild Frontier Castle is in conflict with that of the head of the Ishikawa Castle Defense District, and for the sake of the overall situation, you will be the lord of Ishikawa Castle in the future, and the lord of Fukushima Castle will be Yasuma Kunohe, so it will not affect your duties as the head of the castle. β
"Lord, according to this plan, which defense area does Jiuhe City belong to?" Nanbu Xinzhi's question pointed directly at the Nine Households City that Bai Feng had deliberately omitted just now, and brought the problem of Nine Households City to the fore.
"For a long time, the main city of our Yanhuang family has not been officially determined, and now that the Mutsu Kingdom has also been unified by our family, it is naturally time to determine the main city, and I want to make Jiuhe City the main city of our Yanhuang family. β
"Kunohe Castle as the main city of the family?" This result made the retainers in the assessment room look at each other, and after a long time, Nanbu Shinnao advised: "Lord, is Kunohe Castle not very suitable as the main city of the family? Sanhe Castle, Takamizuji Castle, and Ishikawa Castle should be more suitable. β
"Yes, my lord. After all, Nine Households City is only a small city, and as the main city of our Yanhuang family, it is indeed inferior to the other three cities. β
"From the point of view of prosperity, population, and fortification, a large city such as Sannohe Castle is more suitable than a nine-town castle. β
"From a geographical point of view......"
The retainers in the assessment room all spoke out to persuade Bai Feng not to use Jiuhu City as the main city of the Yanhuang family, as for the reasons they said, they were all factors that Bai Feng had considered, and there were no constructive suggestions at all.
"Knock! knock!!knock!!" Bai Feng, whose head hurt from the noisy retainers, only returned to its original silence after slamming the table three times, and only after the retainers were sitting back in their places did Bai Feng begin to explain his reasons.
