Sending off the retainers who were either excited or worried about the lord's ambitions, Masarashi began to think about another important matter. Just after the assessment just now, in the process of purging the newly occupied territory, there was a situation of Ashigaru hiding his belongings. To be honest, Masarashi was very angry about this, all the armor and weapons of the Ashigaru samurai in the territory were provided by him for free, and at the same time, he also provided a rich fortune for everyone, and even the fields at home were given to them by Masara, and now there are still people who are not satisfied, and have even begun to fight his money? Masashi immediately issued an order to remove the ashigaru who had hidden property from the ashigaru team, confiscate all weapons, money and rewards, and at the same time demote it to hard labor, and participate in territorial conscription for one year without compensation.

This incident also reminded Zhengliang that it was time to formulate the military law of the Luo family. In the past, due to the hasty establishment of the army, it was only necessary to require everyone to do the order and prohibition, and there was a lack of a clear punishment system, which often led to many ashigaru taking risks in the face of rich wealth, so it was necessary to formulate a military law that made everyone dare not cross the red line. So what kind of military law should be enacted? Zhengliang first thought of the ancient Chinese seventeen prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings, the main contents of which are:

One of them: Hearing the drum does not enter, smelling the gold does not stop, the flag cannot be raised, the flag is not subdued, this is called rebelling against the army, and the offender is beheaded.

Second: the name should not be called, the time is not enough, the time is not violated, and the law of the teacher is changed, which is called a slow army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Third: Spread the battle at night, neglect and do not report, and even more plan to violate the slow, the voice is unknown, this is called slackness, and the offender is beheaded.

Fourth: complain more, anger its main general, do not listen to constraints, and teach it to be difficult to control, this is called forming an army, and the offender is beheaded.

Fifth: Laughing and laughing, defying the forbidden covenant, and rushing through the military gate, this is called a light army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Sixth: the weapons used, bows and crossbows, arrows without feathers, swords and halberds are unfavorable, and the flag is withered.

Seventh: Rumors and sophistry, fabricating ghosts and gods, pretending to dream, wanton heresy, and bewitching sergeants, this is called an adulterous army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Eighth: Good tongue and sharp teeth, acting in vain, transferring sergeants, making them discordant, this is called slandering the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Ninth: Wherever he goes, he abuses his people, and if he persecutes a woman, it is called an adulterer, and the offender is beheaded.

Tenth: stealing people's property, thinking it for its own benefit, taking people's heads, thinking it as their own merit, this is called stealing the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Eleventh: The army and the people gather to discuss matters, enter the tent privately, and listen to the military aircraft, which is called visiting the army, and the offender is beheaded.

The twelfth: or hear what is planned, and hear the order, leak it out, so that the enemy knows, this is called betraying the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Its thirteenth: When calling, the tongue should not be stammered, the eyebrows are bowed, and the face is difficult, this is called a ruthless army, and the offender is beheaded.

Fourteenth: out of the army, before and after, noisy speech, do not obey the forbidden training, this is called a chaotic army, and the offender will be beheaded.

The fifteenth: to use the wound to avoid the expedition, pinch the wound and fake the death, so as to escape, this is called the fraud of the army, and the offender is beheaded.

Sixteenth: The master is in charge of money and food, and when he gives rewards, he is a private relative, so that the soldiers and soldiers have a grudge, which is called a bad army, and the offender is beheaded.

Its seventeenth: the observation of the thief is not tried, the thief is unknown, to the point of not speaking, more is less, less is more, this is called the wrong army, the offender is beheaded.

Of course, the content of the above seventeen prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings is a bit too harsh and too complicated, so Zhengliang simplified these contents, and after repeated deliberations, he finally came up with the first military law of the Luo family, which is as follows:

1. Those who leak military aircraft shall be beheaded;

2. In the course of the battle, those who flee without permission shall be beheaded

3. Those who harass and abuse the public shall be beheaded;

Fourth, those who take military merits will be beheaded;

5. Those who do not obey orders shall be demoted to hard labor;

6. Those who plunder property shall have all their finances confiscated and reduced to hard labor.

The above-mentioned four beheadings and two depreciations, the "four beheadings" are to maintain the stability and combat effectiveness of the army, and the "two debasements" are the compromise of Zhengliang to reality, taking obedience to orders as an example, it is very unrealistic to ask everyone to obey orders 100% at once, for example, if you ask him to go to the left, but he is to the right because he can't distinguish between the left and right, so do you have to cut it down? Obviously, no, otherwise most of them will be beheaded soon, and then they will defeat themselves before they can fight the enemy. In the same way, privateering is the root of the peasantry's inferiority in this era, and it is difficult to change it in a short time, so well, how much privateering you plunder, in addition to confiscating everything, will also reduce you to servitude, until you have to create several times the value of privateering property for the territory for free, and you will not be allowed to regain your freedom. …,

After formulating the first military law of the territory, Masarashi personally copied several copies, and then asked the surname to notify Onishi Kuniji and Tsuda Hiromune, who were discussing the recruitment of new ashigaru, and the two military projects who were immersed in studying the military ideological education syllabus compiled by Masarashi last night, to the council hall. Soon everyone arrived one after another, and Zhengliang immediately distributed the military law that had just been copied to everyone, and asked everyone to implement it in the army as soon as they returned.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this is inappropriate", Onishi Kuniji carefully looked at the military law, and whispered admonishment.

"Huh?" , Masahiro, who has gradually developed the habit of being arbitrary, is obviously very dissatisfied when he hears the opposition of his retainers.

"Your Highness", seeing the change in Masayo's expression, Onishi Kuniji immediately fell to the ground, and then continued stubbornly, "According to the habits of other powerful people, once there is a need to fight, a conscription order is issued temporarily to mobilize all the peasants and soldiers. These peasants were required to prepare their own armor, weapons, and basic rations, and in the event of victory in battle, these peasants were allowed to loot on the battlefield and even in nearby towns. If this family implements such a military law, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers. ”

"Dissatisfied?" , Zhengliang sneered, "They are no longer ordinary peasant soldiers, they are the standing soldiers of their own family." Besides, who gave them their weapons? Who gave them enough money and land to ensure food and clothing for their families? Are they not satisfied? Hmph, this military law must be strictly enforced, Sahachiro, Kizaburo, you are responsible for supervision. ”

"Yes, Your Highness," Sahachiro and Kizaburo said loudly. They don't care what other people think, they just know that the words of the lord are the will of God, and no one is allowed to disobey them. Sensing Masayo's determination to enforce military law, Onishi Kuniji and Tsuda Hiromune immediately received the order with interest, and then left with two military soldiers as if fleeing for their lives. Just kidding, if you continue to say it, the lord will definitely be angry, and when the time comes, you will wait to bear the terrible wrath of the lord.

In fact, Masara was not at all worried about causing dissatisfaction in the army. Even the lowest ashigaru has an income of 7 koku a year, and with the harvest in the fields, the family can not only ensure food and clothing, but also have a surplus. At the same time, Masarashi has different degrees of rewards after each battle victory. What are the ashigaru people dissatisfied with the above treatment? To be honest, Zhengliang can even be called benevolent. And those who are still dissatisfied can be said to be too greedy, and in this regard, Zhengliang doesn't mind taking them under the knife and making an example of them.

Just as Masarashi continued to be distracted, Togo Heiji hurriedly walked in.

"Your Royal Highness", Togo Heiji made a retainer salute to Masahiro, his face full of joy.

"Oh, it's Heiji. Is there anything to be happy about? ", Masashi said.

"Your Highness, the alliance of the Dono family, the Akasaka family, and the Tateishi family has already decided the winner. Although the Dono family of Yuno Castle resisted and repelled the enemy of the cage castle several times, the castle gate was breached in the early morning of the second day of the cage battle", Togo Heijiki reported, "Heisataro escaped in the melee, and according to the letter left by Ashigaru arranged by His Highness, he found the family who had settled in the family's domain, and now he is asking to see him outside the gate, hoping to become a retainer of the family." ”

"Huh?" , Zhengliang was stunned at first, and then immediately reacted, "Very good, please." "Long after arranging for Dongxiang Pingji to buy grain for the first time, Zhengliang intended to take this "general" in Dongxiang Pingji's mouth for his own use, but unfortunately at that time, the territory was not even enough for self-protection, and he really couldn't afford to recruit the other party, so he could only give up temporarily, and now he heard that the other party was already outside the door, and even asked to go out of his own house, of course Zhengliang was happy.

After the order was delivered, a young man with a typical samurai head, about 1.65 meters tall, and several scars on his face that had just stammered, walked in quickly. A few meters away from Masayo, the young man knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Villain Heisataro, meet Your Highness." ”…,

"Hehe, no courtesy", Masashi smiled slightly, and then continued, "Speaking of which, this is the first time we have met, and before that, Heiji has already mentioned your 'general' demeanor to me several times. ”

"Your Royal Highness, this is really a shame to kill the villain", Heisataro immediately kowtowed and said, his voice choked, "After the villain's family owner was taken over, the villain was really ashamed of the family master, and he was going to apologize for his seppuku, but he was too worried about his wife and children at home, so he temporarily gave birth to a child." The villain thanked His Royal Highness for the protection of the villain's family", and after that, Heisataro kowtowed again to thank him.

"After learning that His Highness instantly exterminated the bandits, and even destroyed the proud achievements of the three heroes, the villain was really deeply bowed", seeing Masayo's calm expression, Hirasataro immediately puffed up in his heart, and said firmly, "For the sake of his wife and children at home, please take in the villain." Even in the face of the ridicule of the world, the villain will do his best to contribute to the Luo family with the remains of the villain. "What Hirasataro said at the moment is the truth, and after finding his wife and son who are at Togo Heiji's house in fatigue, Hirasataro is completely shocked by what Togo Heiji said. A young man who looks like he is only about 17 or 18 years old has exterminated the bandits who have been doing evil for decades in less than two months, and even destroyed three local tyrants, what kind of record is this? This is too far from the previous head of the family who did not listen to his hard advice and was finally killed. There is hope again in a desperate heart. Under the persuasion of Togo Heiji, looking at the young son who was born in the family, Heisataro dispelled the idea of seppuku and apologized, and decided to leave the Shiluo family.

At this time, the samurai were still very particular about the so-called spirit of bushido, and for Hirasataro, who was courted for his lordship, the best way to gain fame was to seppuku to thank him for failing to protect his lordship. Therefore, for Tairasataro, after the death of his own lord, it takes great determination to make the decision to immediately go to another lord, and once he is publicized, there is basically no other powerful willing to take him in anymore. In Zhengliang's view, from his words of loyalty, he also heard more meanings, first of all, he indirectly said that the previous head of the family had died, and he was absolutely not suspected of being a spy; Secondly, he is willing to take his wife and child as a hostage to ensure that he is loyal to the Luo family.

"Well, Pingza, you'd better tell us about the situation of the Dono family first, right?" , Zhengliang decided not to rush to agree to the other party's request for a debut.

Hirasataro was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that the other party was testing himself, so he immediately bowed and saluted, and then told the situation of the Dono family in detail. A month ago, the lord of Yuno Tail Castle, Dono Kijiro, accidentally learned that the nearby Akasaka family had just purchased a batch of weapons from outside and was planning to secretly transport them to the Akasaka family's residence, so he immediately planned to send someone to sneak into the territory of the Akasaka family, and then wait for the opportunity to seize it halfway. Although Hirasataro strongly objected, Kijiro Dono continued to go his own way, and finally snatched the supplies surprisingly smoothly. After nearly a month, the Akasaka family did not react, and Dono Kijiro was even more carried away, and several times accused Taira Sataro of being too cowardly, and at the same time ordered the disbandment of the peasant soldiers assembled in response to the Akasaka family's revenge. A few days after the disbandment of the peasants, the Akasaka family and the Tateishi family quickly dispatched troops from the front and back of Yunoo Castle under the banner of reclaiming the looted materials. Since the two families seemed to have been prepared for a long time, the troops marched quickly, and they arrived at Yunoo Castle in less than a day, and Dono Kijiro couldn't react, and even the peasants of the territory didn't have time to summon it. The two allied forces launched the Battle of Cage Castle that night, and although the samurai in the castle resisted, the gate was still lost in the early morning of the next day, and at this time, reinforcements from the main castle of the Dono family had just set off from Tanoo Castle. Hirasataro tried to protect Dono Kijiro from the siege, but was besieged by several times the enemy, and watched the head of the family head being taken by the enemy, just when Hirasataro was desperate, the two coalition forces rioted because of rumors that the Dono family's main castle was coming, and Hirasataro took advantage of the chaos to escape from Yuno Tail Castle. …,

"When the villain crossed the river outside Donoo Castle and rushed to His Highness's territory, the two coalition forces were engaged in a battle with the Dono family's reinforcements who had arrived in a hurry," said Hirasataro later.

"Well, that's good. Now the family has officially appointed you as the general of the ashigaru to assist Togo Heiji in quickly stabilizing the territory, and the amount of money is 40 koku", Masarashi nodded. After listening to the detailed report of Taro Hirasataro, the political conscience was happy and worried. The good news is that the heroes in the west of the family are fighting, and they have no time to take care of their family in a short time; The worry is that no matter who wins this melee, Yuno Tail Castle will definitely be heavily guarded, which will pose a great threat to the family, after all, no one wants to have a strong neighbor.

"Yes, Your Highness", after receiving the appointment of Masayo, Hirasataro was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and said.

After letting Togo Heiji and the two go down quickly to continue to stabilize the territory, Masara was about to take a closer look at the account books left by Togo Heiji, and at this time Onishi Kuniji hurried to meet him, and at the same time brought an unexpected guest.
