Chapter 100: The head is clipped
Not long after sending off Master Genji, Togo Heiji came with Masayo's two small surnames. He had just come from the newly occupied Taijiu family and the Nagasura family's territory. As the head of the interior of Masashi, during the period of Masaliang's crusade to the east and west, he well promoted the development of agriculture and the daily civil management of the territory.
"Your Highness, counting the newly occupied territories of the former Taijiu family, the Nagasura family, and the Mingyue people, there are currently nearly 5,000 neighbors in this family, and there are nearly 3,300 stones in Shigao, and with the continuous reclamation of fields and the continuous improvement of water conservancy facilities, the income of the territory will increase in the future," Togo Heiji said with joy, "At present, there are a total of 5,600 stone of civilian reserve grain, 3,000 stone of military reserve grain, 208 undistributed swords, and 457 standard spears. There are 62 pairs of simple armor, 8 heavy rattan bows, 44 maruki bows, 61 earthen bamboo bows, 2 pairs of belly roll armor, 3 pairs of carcass maru armor, 43 rattan plates, 5 horses, 11 oxen, 1 ship, 7 merchant ships and lotus ships, and 11 small early ships. ”
In terms of territory area and grain output alone, the Luo family has ranked among the top ten in the comprehensive strength of East Songpu. The first strong is of course the Hakata family of the Kamimatsuura clan, with a territory of about 55,000 stones, more than 600 standing samurai, and more than 2,000 peasants and soldiers can be mobilized at any time; The second is the Hirado Matsuura clan, with a territory of more than 20,000 stones, more than 250 standing samurai, and more than 1,000 peasants and soldiers who can be mobilized at any time; The third is the Matsuura clan, with a territory of more than 20,000 stones, more than 200 standing samurai, and more than 1,000 peasants and soldiers who can be mobilized at any time; And then there are such heroes as the Yomiko family, the Hidaka family, the Imari family, the Sashi family, and so on.
"Your Highness, this time the standing army of this family has been seriously damaged, do you consider supplementing it?" , Togo Heiji suggested that as the territory continues to grow, more and more troops are needed.
"Well, when the injuries are recovered, those who can no longer participate in the battle will be stationed as the heads of the villages of each cunko, two people in each village, one is in charge of civil and agricultural affairs, and the other is in charge of daily security and training", Masarashi said, "This time, the excellent Ashigaru was directly promoted to a low-level samurai, and the vacated standing ashigaru positions will be re-selected by Hiromune and Sasuke, the two of them are injured but don't want to do nothing, so they are in charge of this matter." With the current financial resources of the territory, Masarashi plans to maintain a standing combat force of about 300 mid-level samurai, 40 low-level samurai, 200 ashigaru, and 20 scouts in the future. In fact, these forces alone have already made Zhengliang feel unbearable, if it were not supported by a large number of seized materials, I am afraid that the Luo family would have a financial crisis. The other males in the realm are trained together every month as reserve peasant soldiers, and are temporarily called up to participate in the battle when they are fighting. The last is the Cub Scouts of the territory, which is the main force responsible for the daily patrol of the territory, and Zhengliang considers that the construction of this team will be further strengthened, as a high-quality reserve source for the military strength of the territory in the future.
"For soldiers who die in battle, each family shall receive a bereavement pension according to double their salary, and their families shall be supported according to the laws of the territory. Find a special plot of land near Nogao Mountain, and later use it for the burial of warriors who died for the territory. Let the schoolchildren of the territory of Kikuhime organize more to worship there, so that they can know the deeds of these warriors", Masara thought for a moment and continued to command.
Masarashi commanded, and Togo Heiji below quickly recorded. Although he followed Masato for the longest time, some of Masaliang's orders were often thought of, and Togo Heiji had to record them first, understand them slowly, and then go down to implement them.
"How's the training going?" , Masahiro looked at Yinuo, who had rushed back two days ago. According to Zhengliang's request, during this time, the detectives in the territory took turns to be trained by Yinuo's younger brother, Zhongnin Ichiruru, who was in the mountain dive. …,
"It's already yielding initial results, and this batch of detectives is mainly responsible for investigating information, so it's mainly about learning some ninjutsu to get information, disguise and escape," Yinuo immediately reported.
"Well, when will Ichiruo return to the headquarters in the mountain dives?" , Masarashi has always wanted to hire some ninjas to strengthen the strength of the Luo family, although this possibility is very unlikely that the mountain dive has already been hired by the Shimazu family.
"It seems that he is in charge of collecting information on Higashi Matsuura this time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to return to his organization anytime soon, especially if the Hakata family is preparing to enter the Hirado Matsuura clan," Ichino replied.
"Since that's the case, then I'll ask him for the information of Higashi Matsuura", Masara gave a 20-stone Yulu, and it was natural to share the information he obtained with the Luo family by the way, you must know that the profession of a ninja is actually very poor, and the 20-stone Yulu is already a very generous treatment. And as Ichiruo continues to integrate into the Luo family, it seems that there is a trend of gradually becoming a full-time ninja of the Luo family. This is exactly what Masahiro wants to see.
After the eventual resumption, Masaro issued another order to transfer Tadajiro, who was in charge of the forging of equipment on Notaka Mountain, to a temporary camp in Dematsuko, and temporarily share responsibility for the defense of the southeast of the territory with Kizo Shigetada. Transferring Tadajiro to the camp was a reluctant move by Masayo, and when Kuniharu Onishi and Sasuke Roshi went to the hinterland of the territory to recruit vacancies, Tadajiro, who had been relieved and returned to the field, had to go out again to take on heavy responsibilities to temporarily make up for the shortage of manpower.
After arranging these, Masara took Togo Heiji and two small surnames, and rushed to the northeast defense line of the territory under the escort of several cloaks, where it was originally the territory of the Taijiu family and the Nagasura family, and at present, the Ishida family's troops are still stranded in the original Taikushi family's territory, and there are several pirates in the seaside area of the original Nagasura family's territory, and the stability of the place cannot be guaranteed by Onishi Kuniji alone, so Masara must go to the town in person. Besides, counting the days, the Luo family led by Sun Wulang is also about to arrive. It is also fortunate that Sun Wulang passed through the waters controlled by the Huzi family's navy before the Luo family was about to break out with the Huzi family, otherwise the Luo family's first navy would have come to naught.
After three days of spreading, the incident of the Taijiu family and the Nagasura family sneaking up on their allies gradually spread. All the heroes around were shocked for a while, as the leader of the alliance, the Huzi family actually assisted the Taijiu family and the Nagasura family to attack another ally? Although there is no conclusive evidence, people with a modicum of wisdom are convinced of it. As a result, the Haoqiang have strengthened the defense of their own territory, and at the same time, they are also paying close attention to the next move of the Huzi family and the Luo family, which are the only two protagonists in this incident.
The Yomiko family also lived up to expectations, and finally responded on the third day after Oishi Tomomitsu returned. The Huzi family first tried their best to clarify the unfavorable rumors about themselves, but there was a tendency to get darker and darker; At the same time, as the leader of the alliance, he confirmed the ownership of the occupied territory by the Luo family, but asked the Luo family to return the main castle of the Nagakura family and the castle town to Nagakura Yoshimasa's third son, Nagakura Yoshimasa, as the territory of Nagakura Yoshimasa, for which the Huko family also sent a mediation messenger Oishi Tomomitsu. Poor Oishi Tomomitsu, the stool was not yet hot, and he had to rush to the temporary territory of the Luo family in Desong Lake again.
On the other hand, the Ishida family, who occupied the original territory of the Taijiu family, the Valley of the Inukya, directly raised the banner of seeking justice for their father-in-law, clearly expressing their doubts about the rumors that Taikubo Yoshishi would compensate the territory to the Luo family, and at the same time sent a messenger to ask the Yoriko family to mediate from it, hoping that the Luo family would return the territory of the Taijiu family and that Taikuboyoshi's grandson would inherit the Taijiu family. The grandson of Yoshiyoshi Taikubo is the daughter of the current head of the Ishida family, Ishida Jibu. …,
After hearing Yinuo's report on the above situation in the council hall of Cangshan City, Zhengliang couldn't help but laugh. These guys are too shameless, and such reasons can be made up. But for the territory that has been swallowed into his stomach, Zhengliang will not give up an inch of land. So Masara immediately asked the detective to convey his order, instructing the visiting Oishi Tomomitsu to entertain the visiting Toomitsu in the Songhu camp, but he strongly pushed that the head of the Luo family was recuperating due to the deterioration of his injuries and would not be able to meet him in a short time. As for the Ishida family, let him jump for the time being, and when the Luo family recovers, he will clean it up.
Although he was skewed up at the performance of these two companies, Masarashi also found some new information from the intelligence, so he asked, "What the hell is going on with that Nagasura Yoshimasa?" ”
"Your Highness, Yoshisada Nagasura has a total of three sons, and his son-in-law Yoshikatsu Nagasura has been courted by His Highness; The second son was dissatisfied with the family arrangement, and soon after Motofu, he took the retainers who supported him to become a pirate in Itaya Bay, and it is said that he turned against Nagasura Yoshisada, and in order to show that he was clear from the Nagakura family, he changed his name to Nitta Shiyoshi; The third son was a monk at a very young age at the Puen Monastery, and his master was Master Xuanzhi," Yinuo said.
"Master Xuanzhi?" , Zheng's conscience suddenly sudden, he didn't expect that this matter would be related to Xuanzhi, "Arrange for someone to visit Master Xuanzhi and see what the master thinks about this matter." As for the clown of the Ishida family, you should inform Onishi Kuniji in Kubo Castle and ask him to send some additional guards outside the Valley of the Dogs," Masarashi instructed after a moment of contemplation.
"Yes, Your Highness", Yinuo bowed to receive the order.
"Is there anything unusual about the pirates on the beach?" , Masato continued to ask. His main purpose in Cangshan Castle was to deal with the pirates in the vicinity of his newly occupied territory. These pirates occupy the eastern coast of Itaya Bay, especially the mouth of the Puchuan River, which is the future base of the Luo family's navy selected by Masahiro, and it is absolutely impossible to tolerate other pirates occupying it.
"Since His Highness conveyed his request of submission to them, three of the less powerful pirates have not planned to attach themselves to their own family for the time being, but they have all moved to the shore of the peninsula on the west coast of Itanya Bay, and only the Nitta people have not moved," Ichino reported.
"Oh?" , Masato didn't expect that the strategy set by the mentality of just giving it a try would succeed, and he was very surprised.
"Your Highness, those smaller pirates are basically composed of a dozen or so poor fishermen, and because they are often bullied by other stronger pirates, they basically have no fixed dens, and they are not very resistant to moving out of their temporary habitat. But the main stronghold of Xintian is at the mouth of the Shangpu River, and they will not give up this stronghold easily", seeing that Masato was a little surprised and confused, Yinuo immediately analyzed.
"What is the strength of the other party?"
"There is an old ship, two Dutch ships and about 10 small boats, and there are more than 50 pirates," Yinuo said.
What the? How can a small group of pirates be so rich? even has the strength of the Luo family's water army? You must know that the water army of the Luo family was also robbed by Zhengliang. At this moment, Masahiro is really a little jealous. It seems that dealing with these new fields still needs to be considered in the long run.
"Continue to keep a close watch on them, and keep them from invading our family's territory near the mouth of the Shangpu River. In addition, Pingji, in the past few days, you have to seize the time to check the situation of the newly occupied territory, speed up the implementation of the territorial law, and let the newly occupied territory settle down as soon as possible. Only in this way can the family calmly cope with the changes around it. That's all for today, you guys hurry down and make arrangements", Masahiro said later.
"Yes, Your Highness", the two took the order and left.
