September of the second year of Yonglu (1559 AD), autumn.

It was already autumn harvest time, and in the fields, the heavy ears of grain smiled and bent over, the mallet-like corn showed rows of neat teeth, and the cotton coat was open to reveal snow-white underwear, and there was a scene of harvest everywhere.

In the evening, in the Gakufu Castle of Hizen Province in Kyushu, bonfires are everywhere at this time, and the red flames are reflected on the white walls, making the center of the Gakufu Castle in the evening seem to be a mirage, which is particularly beautiful.

Masayo, who had just returned from inspecting the autumn harvest and the people's situation today, was sitting on a tatami stool in the assessment room, and in front of him, Katsuri was placed on the tripartite platform of the hawthorn, and kelp was served with sake.

Masarashi returned to Hizen Kokugakufu Castle in northern Kyushu half a month ago, and at that time, most of the people and materials that the Shimazu family decided to transfer to the Shikoku Iyu Province region had already evacuated from Satsuma Province, and the remaining personnel and materials were concentrated in the southern coastal areas of Satsuma Province, and the rest of the areas were handed over to the Luo family one after another.

Negotiations with Wang Zhi were also concluded, and in addition to the three previous demands made by Masayo, Wang Zhi also asked the Luo family to make Yakushima one of the Luo family's foreign trade points, and to allow Wang Zhi's fleet, other Ming merchants, Nanban merchants, and local merchants of the Warring States to come to the place to trade.

Masarashi agreed to this request, and for this reason he also revoked the foreign trade rights of the Goto Islands and Hirado Island off the coast of Hizen Province. At this point, the coastal areas of Kyushu Island became the inland sea area, and the islands of the Hara Murakami family in the Seto Inland Sea, Yakushima Island and Tsushima Island south of the Osumi Strait became the only designated places for the Roshi family to trade with the outside world.

After reaching an agreement with the Luo family, Wang Zhi soon handed over nearly 500 slaves to the Luo family. In addition, many island groups off the coast of southern Kyushu were successively handed over to the Luo family's naval army. His own fleet had returned to the Naha Islands. That is one of the real roots of Wang Zhi's overseas location.

With the large-scale evacuation of the Shimazu family and the retreat of Wang Zhi's fleet, the sea area controlled by the Luo family was also expanded here, so Masato once again adjusted the sea area under the management of the Luo family's various naval army standing teams.

Among them, in terms of the first standing naval team of the Luo family, the main will be Li Huamei, and the deputy will be Murakami Grande, Sun Goro, Oyano Tanemitsu, Kamitsuura Tanekyo, Youpu Town, and Kusano Town. The team was originally stationed in Karatsu Bay, Hakata Bay, and Kanmon Strait, and was responsible for the defense of the coastal waters along the route from Kabe Island in Hizen Yoko Bay to Karatsu Bay in Hizen Province, Hakata Bay in Chikuzen Province, and along the coast of Iki Island, Hibiki Beach in Nagato Province, and Shuho Beach off the coast of Toyozen Province. This time, the station was changed to Nagato Kunichi Castle, Nagato Kunimijima-gun (an island far from the mainland, located in the western part of the Sea of Japan), Tsushima Island, and Karatsu Bay, and the sea area under its jurisdiction from east to west mainly includes the coastal waters of Nagato Province in the western region; The Tsushima Strait, Iki Suido, Hibiki Beach, and Genkai Beach (including Hakata Bay and Karatsu Bay) in the western part of the Kyushu region. The main purpose of this team is to guard against some pirates along the coast, as well as maritime forces in the coastal areas of the Sea of Japan such as Iwami Province and Izumo Province from the east; North Korea's maritime power; The threat of sea power such as the sea power of the south Myung country area. At the same time, it is also responsible for collecting a certain amount of tolls from merchant ships passing through the waters of their home and ensuring the safety of these ships.

The Standing Brigade of the First Naval Army is the main water combat force of the South Kyushu Raiders this time, so after the end of the South Kyushu Raiders and the military merit awards, Masarashi ordered this Navy Army to return to the station to rest.

The area under the jurisdiction of the 2nd Standing Navy from west to east is Genkai Beach (including Yoshiko Bay in the Giki Channel), Imari Bay, Hirado Bay, Goto Beach (i.e., the Goto Sea area), Wakari Beach, Omura Bay, Amakusa Beach, Tachibana Bay, Ariake Sea, Shimabara Bay, Yashiro Sea, Osumi Strait, and Shibushi Bay. Among them, Imari Bay, Hirado Bay, Takudo Bay, Omura Bay, Ariake Sea, Shimabara Bay, and Yatsushiro Sea have actually become the inland seas of the Luo family. The naval force was mainly to guard against the Ming pirate forces in the south. At the same time, it is responsible for collecting a certain amount of tolls from merchant ships passing through the waters where they are located, and ensuring the safety of these ships. If necessary, it is necessary to unite with the First Water Army to the north. Jointly ensure the security of the sea areas under the jurisdiction of the two naval forces.

In terms of the 3rd Standing Navy Force, the main commander will be Tao Masatora, and the deputy will be Oyano Tanego, Tsuruta Nao, and Ariurataka, and the station will be changed to Gibu Castle in Kyushu Bungo Province, Kaijo (the castle is located on an island in the Bungo Channel), and Kuriyama Castle, and the sea area under the jurisdiction of the team includes Bungo Waterway, Tsukumi Bay, Usukio Bay, Uwajima Bay, Beppu Bay, Shubon Bay, Kanmon Strait, and Hyuga Beach, among which Ususu Bay, Tsukumi Bay, Beppu Bay, Shubo Bay, Kanmon Strait, and Hyuga Beach are currently the inland seas of the Luo family. As long as the team guards the waters of the Hohogo Waterway, Tsukumi Bay, Uwajima Bay, and the coastal areas of Hyuga Beach in Hyuga Country, they can ensure the safety of the inland sea of the Luo family and the coastal territory. This team is mainly prepared for the threat of the sea power of the various forces of the four countries, and if necessary, it cooperates with the various teams of the Luo family to attack the Shikoku region. At the same time, it is responsible for collecting a certain amount of tolls from merchant ships passing through the waters where they are located, and ensuring the safety of these ships.

In terms of the 4th Standing Navy Brigade, the main commanders will be Murakami Takeyoshi and Wakabayashi Echigo, and the deputy will be Uto Yukiko, Sasu Morien, and Hatataka, and the station will be changed to Hakata Castle, Hakukata Castle, Nagasaki Castle, and Tarazaki Castle of the former Murakami family in the Seto Inland Sea area, and the sea areas under the jurisdiction of this team are Yasuki Beach, Seto Inland Sea, Yoshitana, Iyu Beach, and Suitana, and it is mainly responsible for guarding against the maritime forces of the daimyo along the coast of Shikoku and Honshu Island, and it is necessary to support the various teams of the Luo family located in the Iyu Province and Aki Province region. At the same time, it is responsible for collecting a certain amount of tolls from merchant ships passing through the waters where they are located, and ensuring the safety of these ships.

On the land route, with the transfer of a large number of local forces in the southern Kyushu region and the rapid implementation of the Luo family's laws (such as the complete demolition of all castles in various places, the full implementation of the sword hunting order, etc.) in the local area, it will inevitably cause a bloody storm in the southern Kyushu area, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of all policies and the safety of the personnel of the Luo family's various institutions. Masahiro made temporary adjustments to the local army and cavalry standing.

On the part of the cavalry standing ranks. With Takasaka Masanobu as the main general. The second standing cavalry team of Ekarashi Kenshin and Yamazaki Kanseyu as deputy generals was originally the main force of the southern Kyushu attack this time, and made great contributions in the process of attacking Hyuga country, so Masara rewarded their military merits, and at their request, temporarily placed them in the hungry southern Kyushu area, as a mobile force, ready to support the Luo family's adventure force in southern Kyushu, as for their original station. The Yufutake Ranch near Gibu Castle was not too late to return to camp after southern Kyushu had completely settled down.

The main generals who also made great contributions to the siege of the Shimazu family, the Saeki family, and the Ito family coalition were Isono Yuanmasa, the deputy generals were Akaguchi Mitsukiyo and Tao Nakamoto, and the military head was the first standing cavalry team of Hyakkutake Kenkan, but because of the losses in the attack on Matsuo Castle and the siege of the coalition army, Masara ordered him to return to the Notakayama Ranch in Matsuura County, Hizen Province, for rest.

The above is the arrangement for the standing cavalry, and as for the standing army side, the first land standing brigade will be Masanao Kinoshita. The deputy generals are Shigetada, Watanabe, Tetsunosuke, Inudo Ryan, Ryotoshi Ryoshi, Ryotoshi Ryoshi, and Mamoru Nagami and Satoshi, and the military head is Nobutsune Esatoguchi. The station is Mihara Castle in the southwest corner of Bingo Province. It is mainly responsible for continuing to infiltrate various parts of Bigo Province, and at the same time assisting the Luo family naval army in the defense of the Seto Inland Sea and the coastal areas of Bigo Province, and if necessary, supporting the areas occupied by the Luo family in Shikoku Iyu Province on the other side, as well as other teams in the local Aki Province in the western country. Because the position of the team was very critical, only a small part of the troops were sent to participate in the southern Kyushu raid this time, so after the end of this raid, Masarashi immediately ordered this part of the army to return to its original station.

The second land standing team will be led by Yoshida Shigemasa, and the deputy will be Takeuchi Hisamori, Kamiyo Katsuri, Ueda Shinji, Uno Normal, and Iga Minbu, in addition to Yoshida Shigemasa's retainers Anto Ietada, Totoshi Setsu, and Yubu Yuiji. Stationed in the northern region of Shikoku's Iyu Province, Kokubun Mountain Castle, Hakata Castle, and Takasen Mountain Castle, he was responsible for Feng's continued invasion of the Iyu Province, and at the same time assisted the Luo family's naval army in the defense of the Seto Inland Sea and the coastal areas of Iyu Province, and supported the strategies and defenses of other land teams of the Luo family in the area of Aki Province and Bigo Province when necessary.

As the main team participating in the war this time, it has made a lot of contributions in the territory of the Saeki family's Bungo region and the siege of the Shimazu, Saeki, and Ito coalition forces, not to mention that the area it is responsible for garrisoning is the area where the Shimazu family was located after the transfer, so when the Shimazu family surrendered, Masarashi asked the team to return to the station in the Shikoku region, while resting, while preparing to welcome and monitor the arrival of the Shimazu family.

The third land standing team, the main commander is Aguta, the deputy generals Asakura Soya, Fukuda Nobukiyo, Calais Tongnao, Hirochu Takaka, Noma Takashimi, and the military head is Kawada Yoshiro. Based in Oda Castle, Chausuyama Castle and Masaki Castle in Aki Province in the Western Region, it is responsible for guarding against the Mori family in Aki Province in the northern region and the various forces of Bigo Province in the eastern region, and at the same time supports the other teams of the Luo family in Aki Province and Bigo Province at any time, and cooperates with each team to attack the Mori family and the rest of Bigo Province when necessary.

The location of the team is also very important, but because the Maori family has been weakened by the Luo family, and there is also the surveillance of the first land standing team next to it, Masashi dares to say that the main force of the team was drawn out as one of the main forces of southern Kyushu this time. Similarly, after the war, Masato also let the main force of the team quickly return to the station to rest.

The fourth land standing team, the main commander is Oishi Tomohisa, the deputy generals Yoshikawa Kokei, Karen Kinji, Calais Naritsune, Akao Kentane, Noda Nagabo, and the military commander Fu Namatsu Nobukatsu. The stations are Huixia Castle and Takamatsu Castle in Aki Province. Mainly responsible for guarding against the Maori family in the north.,At the same time, support the strategies of other teams in Aki Country.。 This team will be used as the main force to attack the Maori family's forces in Aki Province. Since the team was the main force against the Maori family, Masarashi naturally did not let them participate in the southern Kyushu strategy this time, so they stayed in their original station to ensure the stability of the western region.

The Fifth Land Standing Team, the main general is the main general, the deputy generals Akaike Nagato, Marumme Yorimi, Uemura Hontsuna, Kankinaki, Inochi Fufang, and the military commander Fu Luo Shigoro. Nagato Province's Abu Gun, based in the western region, is responsible for guarding against the forces of Iwami Province in the west, while the Standing Brigade of the Jirashi Clan's naval army is on guard against threats from the sea. As with the fourth standing team, due to the importance of the position. So Masato also didn't let him participate in this southern Kyushu strategy. So they stayed where they were. It also ensured the stability of the western region.

The 6th Land Standing Brigade was originally stationed in Nakatani Pass, along the coast of Tsukumi Bay, along the coast of Usuki Bay, and Nakayama Castle in Hinata, which was originally located in Kaibe County of Bungo Province. The main commander will be Enshiroji Shinyin, the deputy will be Takeuchi Hisakatsu, Owa Tani Gunbei, Kitahara Jinhisa, Sailazu Kannao, Okami Jinmasa, and Sano Takai, and the military will be Nabeshima Naoshige, whose original defense task is to assist the Cabinet in maintaining the law of the territory, and at the same time, it is mainly to guard against forces such as the Saeki family in Umibe County of Bungo Province and the Ito family of Hinata.

This time, as the main force of the Luo family's attack on the Ito family's Hyuga country, he made a great contribution, and in the later strategy of Satsuma country and Osumi country. He also made great contributions, so after rewarding him handsomely, Masayo ordered him to stay in the southern Kyushu region as the main combat force to ensure the stability of the local area.

The 7th Land Standing Brigade, the main general Kai Jinnao (Soun), the deputy generals Takeuchi Hisaharu, Shiga Yoshikin, Shiga Kentaka, Yasumu Minbu, Ruboji Terunori, and Sano Jinshige, and the military head paid Honda Masanobu, the original station was in the Minamihigo area, and the main defense task was to defend the Shimazu family in the Satsuma area.

In the same way, this team played a great role in the attack on Satsuma. Therefore, after rewarding him handsomely, Masayo also let him stay in the southern Kyushu region. As the main combat force to ensure local stability.

As a result, Masarashi has left two land standing units and one cavalry standing unit as the main combat force in the southern Kyushu region.

As for the tens of thousands of temporary peasant soldiers who had been temporarily recruited from various territories of the Luo family, as well as the more than 20,000 temporary peasant soldiers of the local forces who surrendered during the attack, since it was already the autumn harvest season, after issuing them the compensation that had been determined in advance, they were asked to return home for the autumn harvest.

As for the elites of the werewolves, samurai and other fat temporary peasant soldiers, they were temporarily concentrated, on the one hand, because they were worried that they would help the local forces to make trouble after returning to their respective forces, and on the other hand, after waiting for the recruitment offices and administrative offices belonging to the military cabinet and the internal affairs cabinet to fully enter all parts of southern Kyushu, these elites were first assessed and screened, and they were absorbed into the power of the Luo family.

Of course, after absorbing these elites, the Luo family's recruiting office and the executive office will also carry out propaganda throughout southern Kyushu, making every effort to absorb local talents, and at the same time enhancing the strength of the Luo family, it will also weaken the strength of many local forces. As for the Iron Cannon Team, the Big Barrel Team, the Samurai Team, the Scout (Cavalry) Team, the Herald (Cavalry) Team, the Black Hawk Ninja Army, and the Cloak (Cavalry) Team directly under the jurisdiction of Masara, they naturally followed Masato back to Hizen Kokugakufufu City.

And when the policies and laws of the Luo family were strongly implemented, Masarashi also tried to appease the local forces, for example, appointing the former Shimazu family minister of Satsuma Province Ijiin Tadaro, the former Osumi Province liver Fu family minister Ichiji Shigetake, and the former Ito family minister Yonera Shigeji were respectively the Satsuma guardian generation, Osumi guardian generation, and Hyuga guardian generation, responsible for leading the rest of the Interior Cabinet to quickly take over their respective regions.

Among them, Ijiin Tadaro was due to the fact that the thigh injury could only be better healed by staying in the Luo family, and Ijiin Tadaro himself also held the idea of staying in the local area of Satsuma Province in order to provide necessary help to Shimazu Yoshihisa and others who stayed in the local area of Satsuma Kokuyama Temple as a hostage for the sake of filial piety, so at the invitation of the Luo family and after a deep conversation with the new governor of the Shimazu family, Shimazu Yoshihiro, Ijiin Tadaro finally decided to take the family to become a retainer of the Luo family, and the condition was naturally to stay in the Satsuma country area.

Masarashi is naturally very clear about Ijiin Tadaro's plans, but as long as Ijiin Tadaro and his family do not do anything that violates the requirements of the Luo family, and cooperate with the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet to build the internal affairs of Satsuma Kingdom, then it is enough.

What's more, in order to restrict his rights and disperse his family, Masara deliberately transferred the Bunzen Honzen Sho Taka and Bungo Hongo Shoi Nagabo to Satsuma Province as the Satsuma Governor, on the one hand, with the rich experience of the two in the Interior Cabinet before, they assisted Ijiin Tadaro to fully implement the Luo family's internal affairs policy in the Satsuma area in accordance with the laws of the Luo family, so as to divert and restrict the rights of Ijiin Tadaro.

At the same time, Masarashi also transferred the family of Ijiin Tadaro to the Chikugo region, and Ijiin Tadaro's son Ijiin Tadakura, his grandson Ijiin Tadado, and his clansmen Ijiin Kusanobu and Ijiin Hisatsu were appointed as Zhou Fang Minister, Bungo Minister, Bunzen Minister, and Chikuzen Minister, respectively, and followed the retainers of the Interior Pavilion in these two places to learn the management of the Luo family. In this way, it disperses the power of the Ijiin Tadaro family, but it also shows the importance that the Luo family attaches to their family. It gradually integrated into the system of the Luo family. Become a true retainer of the Roche family.

It is believed that there is no military or other authority. With only internal affairs authority, and the internal affairs authority is still scattered and hollowed out, and finally there is a situation such as the intelligence cabinet and so on, even if there is a change in the early days of the Ijiin Luo family, it will be difficult to create too much of a problem.

As for the two of them, Ichichi Shigetake and Mira Shigeworth, who surrendered to the Luo family in the Luo family's raids on Osumi Province and Hyuga Province and made a lot of contributions, because their families were transferred to Higo Province and Hizen Province respectively, in order to appease the two and use the reward for the two families as a model. In order to appease the other local forces in southern Kyushu, Masarashi promoted these two to the guardian of Osumi Province and the guardian of Hyuga Province respectively (the position of guardian is only the head of the local internal affairs cabinet in the Luo family, which is different from the guardian generation of those colleagues in other daimyo powers in the Warring States period who control the local military and internal affairs at this time).

On the other hand, Masarashi also promoted the family members or clansmen of the two respectively, among which Ichichi Shigeto's sister-in-law Ichichi Shigexing was promoted to Hizen Minister, and Mira Shigeji's family members Mira Shigenao and Mira Shigechen were arranged to enter the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet, and Mira Shige, Mira Shigeji, and Mira Shigetaka were respectively arranged to enter the Luo family's military cabinet teams.

Similarly, those who had already surrendered to the Luo family during the Luo family's attack on southern Kyushu, like Yonera Shigeji, Ichiji Shigetake and others, were also appeased by different Cheng dù.

Among them, the Osumi Kuni, who originally belonged to the Shimazu family, the Gamo family, Kamo Shigeki, Gamo Fanqing, and the Nishimata Mori family. Kashiyama Nobuhisa and Kashiyama Yukihisa are two fathers and sons, and the two fathers and sons, Liver Fu and Sheng. Tanegashima Keitoki, Tanegashima Tokiyao, and Okumoto and others were all arranged into the various institutions of the Luo family, among which Liver Fu Kanemori, who became one of the four fierce generals of the Shimazu family in history, was also adopted as a small surname by Masahiro.

As for the other Osumi and Hyuga countries, Kasumu Kanesa, Kitago Tokihisa, Kitago Tadago, Kitago Tadashi, Shimazu Tadashi, Shimazu Tadahiro, Saeki Yui Nao (his father Saeki Yukyo would eventually prefer to live in seclusion than serve the Luo family), Saeki Yusada, Saeki Weitada, Ochiai Kaneyo, Ochiai Kanonaka and others were also arranged in the various institutions of the Luo family.

Although these people all complained about their family being transferred, they were comforted by a certain amount of Cheng Dù because they were reused by the Luo family. It is also because of the cooperation of these families that the rest of the local forces in southern Kyushu can only cooperate with the Luo family's law for the time being.

In order to make Yonera Shigeji, Ichichi Shigetake, and Ijiin Tadaro more suitable for the work of the Guardian Dynasty's Internal Affairs Cabinet, in addition to transferring Takashi Aokei and Joi Nagabo to Satsuma Province as Satsuma Ministers, Masarashi also transferred Shufang to Fukasui Nagachi, Hizen Akato Morikiyo to Osumi Province as Osumi Ministers, and transferred Chikuzen Honami Masamitsu and Hizen Takahashi Naganaga to Hyuga Province as Hyuga Ministers, so as to assist Yonera Shigeji, Ichiji Shigetake, and Ijiin Tadaro to be more suitable for work.

The local military deployment and personnel deployment in Minami Kyushu were adjusted, and after guarding the local town for a period of time, Masarashi summoned his son-in-law Luo Shi Huiliang to the local area, and officially handed over the responsibility of coordinating all local affairs in Nankyushu to his son-in-law Huiliang.

It is conceivable that in the future, with the implementation of the Luo family law in the local area, local affairs will inevitably become more complicated and difficult, and this is also an opportunity to train his son, and Zhengliang will naturally not let it go.

As with his second son, Luo Shi Xinliang, when he was leaving, Masahiro gave some weapons to his sister-in-law as a gift for him to officially take charge of himself.

First of all, the katana, the katana given to Tegura by Masara is called "Bone Eater Yoshimitsu", which was made by the famous craftsman Kuritaguchi Yoshimitsu in Kyoto, and originally belonged to the Otomo family, and in history, the Otomo family was friendly with the shogunate, and also gave the knife to the shogunate Shogun's family, and was later captured by Matsunaga Shu and returned to the Otomo family in order to be friendly with the Otomo family, but when Toyotomi Hideyoshi went to Kyushu Island to deal with the Shimazu family, it finally fell into the hands of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Now, because the Otomo family was destroyed by the Luo family very early, the "bone food Yoshimitsu" as its heirloom naturally fell into the hands of Masayo, so it became one of the gifts given by Masara to his son-in-law Teira.

In addition to the knife "Bone Eater Yoshimitsu", Masarashi also gave Tegura a peculiar piece of armor called "Total Black Bear Fur Possession", which is a piece of armor decorated with black bear hair. And these black bear hair, a few years ago in the fat consequence of the black bear injury incident, just in the local observation of the people's situation of the people of the Zheng Liang so personally shot the black bear with an iron cannon to death, after that, the craftsman door specially used the hair of the dead black bear for the Zheng Liang to make such a piece of armor to show the majesty of the Zheng Liang. The armor is now presented to his son-in-law, and while encouraging him, it is also to highlight that he represents his position, so that his work in Minami-Kyushu will be smoother.

After arranging his son-in-law in the affairs of the abbot of Minami Kyushu, Masara led his direct military forces back to Hizen Province, on the one hand, in the overall situation of the abbot in the rear, and on the other hand, he occasionally went out to observe the people's situation and understand the situation of this year's autumn harvest.

And tonight, the reason why he returned to Xuefu City from out of town overnight was to receive a guest who had suddenly come and urgently asked to see him.
