To Yu Qiuping's relief, the four leaders of the Hao clan had made the choices he was looking forward to. After hesitating for half an hour, they signed their names on the lend-lease agreement and joined Yu Qiuping's House of Lords. However, Koroku Wasuka is different from the other three. He let Maeno Nagayasu join the House of Lords as a member of the House of Lords, and he chose to join Tokiwa Bei along with the descendants of the former Nagayori and Kato Koyasu - that is, he gave up his status as a member of the House of Lords (equivalent to the old age of the Yuqiu family) and instead served as an officer in the Yuqiu family system.

With the vigorous cooperation of the four wealthy clans, the Yuqiu family, who had just finished digesting the territory near Momata City, began to digest the territory of these small wealthy clans again. The data and household registration of the land were handed over to the central government of the Yuqiu family, and the tax collectors and judicial judges were stationed in each village, forming a stable and comprehensive governance system in accordance with the local governance regulations formulated by the Yuqiu family, and the samurai administrators who were retained by the four local small wealthy families. The amount of work to accept the territory in this way is unimaginable, and Yu Qiuping will be busy and crazy not long after doing it. Sena has been busy with the bank, the Mitsubishi caravan, and the financial allocation recently, and he can't take a break for the time being. Yu Qiuping could only throw this heavy work to Naoe Zhongping in one go, and let his hard-working deputy have a good time.

Because Yu Qiuping had to put his mind on Chang Panbei's training and expansion - he soon found that this task was too onerous. Whether it is recruitment, recruitment, training, or organizational reorganization, Yu Qiuping is about to vomit. So, he left these tasks to another subordinate, Shigeharu Takenaka. After the latter officially left Yuqiu's family, it was impossible to only be a teacher for Yuqiu, and he had to find something to do.

Yu Qiuhei asked Shigeharu Takenaka to follow the model of Sanada Masayuki's Military Intelligence Department and organize and set up a general staff in accordance with the rules and regulations of the system. Those smart and experienced veterans from Yuqiu's family were selected to form this staff department, which was specifically responsible for the affairs of the army. In the future, whether it is the formulation of the expedition plan when going out, or the army management during training, or the command of the military formation when the battle is imminent, Yu Qiuping has someone to rely on, and he doesn't need to grasp it by himself. And this person who can be relied on is still the world-famous Meinong Kirin, and now Kong Ming Zhuzhong is regoverned.

Shigeharu Takenaka really didn't disappoint Yu Qiuping. He completed the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters within a month, and the subordinate relationships, scope of jurisdiction, powers and functions, and personnel selection between each post at the top and bottom were all very properly arranged. Subsequently, he devoted himself to the management of Tokiwabi.

The Yuqiu family now has a territory of 70,000 stones, and can recruit more than 2,000 people if you count the population. Shigeharu Takenaka then continued Yuqiuhei's past policy, that is, the soldiers were all standing soldiers, and the auxiliary soldiers were recruited during the agricultural slack. Tsukiwa was expanded by him to 850 men, a cavalry platoon and 16 infantry platoons. And after this expansion, he also set up a new formation at the request of Yu Qiuping: Lian. Every 8 platoons of 400 people is considered 1 company, and the commander of the company is called the general of the company. Each company will have 5 ashigaru platoons, 2 bow platoons, and 1 iron cannon platoon. In the specific expansion of Tokiwa Bei, Shigeharu Takenaka adopted a very scientific method. He selected some backbones from the original veteran platoon to form a new platoon, and then scattered the recruits and the soldiers of the four small wealthy clans into all the platoons. This not only ensures the combat effectiveness of each platoon, but also enables Tokiwabei to absorb these recruits well.

However, although Shigeharu Takenaka can arrange these things clearly, he also encounters the problem of having to ask Yu Qiuping for help. That is the question of the appointment of the general of these two companies, and the collective dissatisfaction of the old subordinates caused by it.

·

The problem is very simple, there are only two shoguns in Tokiwabi, but there are five people who are recognized as old generals in Tokiwabi: Yasunari Fukushima, Charlie, Nakahide Mimaezaki, Katsumasa Yoshioka and Yuto Ogawa - they are also the first five ashigaru generals. Shigeharu Takenaka, a newcomer, wants to subdue the five of them, but it's not that simple. So, I can only leave the problem to Yu Qiuping. After weighing it again, Yu Qiuping chose Fukushima Yasunari and Charlie. Fukushima Yasunari has always been the recognized big brother of those old subordinates, and there is no controversy about him as the leader. And Mizenzaki Nakahide, Yoshioka Katsumasa and Ogawa Yuto are inseparable, and it hurts to choose anyone, so Yu Qiuping simply promoted Charlie, who was not familiar with everyone. Anyway, the latter is also a great achievement, and it is very calm, although everyone has some criticism, but it is not to the extent that it is out of control.

What really makes the problem a little tricky is the appointment of the commander of each platoon, Admiral Ashigaru.

Now there are a total of 17 platoons in Tokiwabei, that is, 17 positions of Ashigaru generals. However, the qualifications and exploits of these ashigaru generals are very different. Among them, there are a group of people with the oldest qualifications, such as Mimasaki Nakahide, Yoshioka Katsumasa, and Ogawa Yuto, who can almost become generals. There are also veterans who also followed the Imagawa family as old subordinates, such as the Water Atom Sutra, Kitabatake Keika, Shin Xian Cheng Ryo, Anayama Nobushimi, and Uji Hidetaka. At the same time, there are also Aoki Kazuki and Kanematsu Masakayoshi, who were the first to join Tokiwabi in the Owari period. Of course, the most controversial ones are the few generals who were parachuted in from the original hostile forces, such as Koroku Beesuka, Hara Nagayori, and Kato Koyasu.

The old subordinates were very dissatisfied with this, they had been born and died for the Yuqiu family for almost ten years, but they were suddenly on an equal footing with these outsiders, and the cavalry of Kohata Jiesheng even had only one position of lightweight. However, people from the small wealthy clan like Bee Suga Xiaoliu turned out to be at the level of family governors or family elders, so it was obviously unrealistic for them to start from small soldiers, and it would also chill the hearts of the little wealthy families. And the old qualifications of Mimasaki Nakahide, Yoshioka Katsumasa, and Ogawa Yuto, who were themselves very dissatisfied with Aoki Kazuki and these people being able to be of the same level as them, now have to endure more newcomers, and they couldn't bear the anger in their hearts, so they found Yu Qiuhei and Takenaka Shigeji to protest publicly.

After discussing with Shigeharu Takenaka for a long time, Yu Qiuhei finally came up with another cross-era system - the military rank system. In short, to separate military rank from position! A person can have a very high rank, but no position. But the holder of a position must have a certain military rank. Military rank is a symbol of personal honor and seniority, and position is a functional requirement for specific combat command. When a person needs to be transferred at the same level, it is based on his military rank rather than his position.

Yu Qiuping imitated the military rank system of the previous life and drafted the military rank system of the Yuqiu family in this life. All ordinary ashigaru, with the rank of private, private, and private; Ashigaru head squad leader, the military ranks are divided into corporal, sergeant, and sergeant; The ranks of the platoon commander of the Ashigaru General are second lieutenant, lieutenant, and captain; The ranks of the commander of the general company are the more senior major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel. The rank of Yu Qiuping has not yet been formulated - it is not needed for the time being anyway.

After announcing the newly introduced military rank system, Yu Qiuping, together with Shigeharu Takenaka's General Staff, spent more than half a month evaluating in detail the combat exploits and resumes of each of Tokibanbei's 800 people, and finally determined everyone's military ranks at this time.

Yasunari Fukushima and Charlie are the two highest-ranking military officers, both major generals. And Shigeharu Takenaka and Masayuki Sanada, two people who are also in charge of the military system, have also received the rank of general of the army.

Next is the oldest veteran Tokiwa Bei veteran Shogun Ashigaru. Nakahide Gozensaki, Katsumasa Yoshioka, Yuto Ogawa, and Nobuyori Anayama received the rank of captain, along with Uchiha Aooka as an important part of the intelligence system. And the old subordinates such as Mizuatom Jing, Kitabatake Keijia, Uji Hidetaka, Shin Xian Cheng Liang, and Kohata Katsumori, plus the special identity of Bee Suga Koroku, also received the rank of lieutenant. Most of the Ashigaru generals who joined Tokiwabi in Owari and later, or the new arrivals, were all in the rank of second lieutenant.

The ranks of non-commissioned officers and petty soldiers below are basically the same as above. The veterans who followed from the Imagawa family basically had a higher rank to repay them for their ten years of hard work. Due to the scarcity of the number of cavalry, the rank of the cavalry team will generally exceed the position by a lot, and with the expansion of the cavalry team in the future, it is believed that this problem can be gradually solved.

After the introduction of the military rank system, the veterans of Tokiwa immediately rejoiced. Their nearly ten years of hard work have earned them outstanding military ranks, and they have also realized that Yu Qiuping has not forgotten their merits. The brothers Nakahide Omaezaki, Katsumasa Yoshioka, and Yuto Ogawa no longer complained, but continued to devote themselves to the cause of military training in a down-to-earth manner. According to this military rank system, when Chang Panbei expands the army again, it will be their turn to serve as a general.

And those new soldiers have some regrets, but they also have a clearer goal to strive for - it is not easy to be promoted, but there is still a good chance to seek promotion in the rank!

As for how to promote military ranks and positions in the future, and the criteria for judging military merits, Yu Qiuping once again became the shopkeeper and handed everything over to Shigeharu Takenaka to deal with. Masayuki Sanada is expanding his military intelligence department these days, and it seems that he intends to go to Minami Omi to recruit ninjas. At Yuqiuping's request, Amano Keedoku also began to expand new laws for larger territories and train more judges to meet judicial needs.

Yu Qiuping sometimes has to sigh that it's really good to have a group of efficient subordinates, and he doesn't need to worry about so many things. Shigeharu Takenaka was in charge of the military, Sena was in charge of finance, Masayuki Sanada was in charge of intelligence, Keitori Amano was in charge of law, and Naoe Tadahei was prime minister in internal affairs.

"Speaking of which, it seems that all five of them have a guard in their name?" Yu Qiuping thought about it to himself and accidentally discovered this point. "If I become famous in the future, will they have a title like 'Yuqiu Wubei'?"
