Chapter 881: Overlord Heritage

With the loss of so many retainers, samurai and ordinary soldiers all at once, the overall strength of the family will naturally be affected to a certain extent. But at this time, after more than ten years of development, the Luo family has accumulated a certain family heritage under the new measures and methods that seem to deviate from many of the rules of the daimyo in Zhengliang. With these backgrounds, the Luo family is naturally able to quickly make up for the family's losses again and ensure the strength of the family.

So what is family heritage? How did the Luo family use these foundations to supplement the strength of the loss?

In Zhengliang's view, the so-called family heritage, the family must first have a relatively sound and integrated retainer system with the development of the family, and then look at it a little grander, that is, a sound ruling system and law.

At present, the Luo family has four institutions: the Internal Affairs Cabinet, the Military Cabinet, the Intelligence Cabinet, and the Public Cabinet.

The Cabinet of Internal Affairs is naturally responsible for coordinating the implementation of the laws of the territory; management of agriculture, civil affairs and education; Responsible for the management of tax collection and distribution of the territory; management of the day-to-day supplies of the territory; Responsible for the inventory of post-war supplies and the receipt of new territories.

The Military Pavilion is responsible for the standing recruitment and training, the daily training and management of the army, the territory's external strategy, the territory's daily security, the organization and training of peasants and soldiers, and the daily compulsory training of the territory's citizens and boy scouts.

The Intelligence Pavilion is responsible for the spying and sorting of internal and external intelligence in the territory; the surveillance of the territory's subjects, nobles, and retainers; Surveillance of the territory's various reserves and institutions.

The Public Pavilion is responsible for negotiating with all religious forces such as temples and shrines, as well as managing the internal religions, as well as the public affairs of all external forces.

All of these four institutions are under the leadership of the government. Thereinto. The Cabinet of the Interior is in power. It is the genealogy of the Luo family, a family, and the chief family of the old Dongxiang Pingci. At the same time, he is also the guardian of Hizen Province, Iki Island, and Tsushima Island, and the official position of the imperial court is from the fifth position. As a father-in-law who has been following Masayo's side to assist Masayo from the beginning, and is also Masayo's wife, although the concept is a bit old-fashioned, Togo Heiji is still Masaliang's most trusted left arm and right arm.

Togo Heiji was in charge of coordinating all the affairs of the Cabinet for Masara, and was also in charge of civil affairs, agriculture, education, and other internal affairs of Hizen Province, Iki Island, and Tsushima Island, and arranged internal affairs tasks in a timely manner in accordance with Masarashi's requirements. At the same time, he regularly reported to Zhengliang on the situation of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs. At the same time, Jomasa Furu, Takahashi Nagane, Akago Moriyo, Fukamizu Seken, Aso Yuzen, Hidakashi, and Narumi Nobuna served as internal affairs commissioners, and assisted Togo Heiji in managing the internal affairs of each region under the authority of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, as well as the internal affairs of Hizen Province, Iki Island, and Tsushima Island.

The Luo family's general, Chikugo Guardian, is under the jurisdiction of Togo Heiji, the head of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, and is in charge of internal affairs such as Chikugo national affairs, agriculture, and education. As the original elder of the Otomo family, after defecting to the Luo family, Irita did make a lot of contributions to the Luo family, considering the need to appease the retainers of the former Otomo family, Masara entrusted the position of Chikugo guardian to Irita Qincheng. On the other hand, Naru Morinobu, Jinnori Kusami, and Aso Showa served as internal affairs and assisted Irita in managing internal affairs such as Chikugo's national affairs, agricultural affairs, and education

The general of the Luo family and the guardian of the Higo Dynasty are the clear houses of Nabeshima. It is under the jurisdiction of Togo Heiji, the ruler of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, and is in charge of internal affairs such as civil affairs, agriculture, and education in the areas secretly occupied by the Higo Province and the Hyuga Province Luo family. As the elder of the original Ryuzoji family. In order to appease the retainers of the former Ryuzoji Temple, Masarashi also entrusted the important position of protecting Higo Province to Nabeshima Kiyobo. As the internal affairs of the Shiroi Botong, Tajiri Masashi, and Kantoshi of the Question Notes, they assisted Nabeshima Kiyobo in managing the Higo Province and the Hyuga Province Luo family, which secretly occupied the internal affairs of the region, such as civil affairs, agriculture, and education.

The head of the Luo family, the guardian of Chikuzen, Dainafu Shinkage, is under the jurisdiction of Togo Heiji, the ruler of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, and is in charge of internal affairs such as Chikuzen national affairs, agricultural affairs, and education. Before the rise of the Luo family, Nafu Nobuyo was just a small retainer of the Ryuzoji family, but his internal affairs ability was very good, and he was one of the important elders of the Nabeshima family in history. Since taking refuge in the Luo family, under the cultivation and promotion of political conscience, Nafu Xinjing has become a more outstanding internal affairs talent than in history, and is a loyal supporter of the new system and law of the Luo family. As the Interior Minister, Masamitsu Oda, and Yoshisada Arima were appointed as internal affairs ministers, assisting Nobuyo Natomi in managing internal affairs such as Chikuzen national affairs, agriculture, and education.

The Luo clan general, the Ichido family, and the guardian of Tozen Sagara Takeshi were under the jurisdiction of Togo Heiji, the ruler of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, and were in charge of internal affairs such as Toyozen's national affairs, agriculture, and education. As an important figure in the internal affairs of the original Ouchi family, who married the Ouchi family when the Luo family was weak, since he was plotted and hunted down by Tao Qingxian, and finally took refuge in the Luo family, Sagara Takeren, the father-in-law of the political good, naturally fully supported his son-in-law. Takashi Aokei, Nobuyasu Kogawa, and Kohide Iida served as internal affairs and assisted Sagara Takeren in managing Toyozen's internal affairs, such as civil affairs, agriculture, and education.

The general of the Luo family and the guardian of Bungo Arima Harumi is under the jurisdiction of Togo Heiji, the ruler of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, and is in charge of internal affairs such as Bungo's national affairs, agriculture, and education. In history, Arima Harumi was originally an internal political person, and at the same time led the Arima family to obtain the largest territory. After becoming a retainer of the Luo family, Arima Qingchun was surrendered by the ability of the lord Zhengliang, and at this time he was also one of the absolute supporters of Zhengliang. Fukasuzu Sekata, Joi Nagabo, and Anami Yuhide served as internal affairs officers and assisted Haruma Harumi in managing domestic affairs such as Bungo's national affairs, agriculture, and education.

Nagato's guardian Dai Roshi Sasuke, under the jurisdiction of Togo Heiji, the head of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, was in charge of Nagato's internal affairs, agriculture, education, and other internal affairs. As the beginning of the Luo family, he followed Masahiro as a small surname, and in the past ten years, Roshi Sasuke has established enough merits in the Luo family, this time Masato directly promoted him from the military of the standing team to the Nagato guardian generation, which can be regarded as a reward for his merits, and it is also the beginning of Masayo's infiltration of his own people into the territorial management system, and it is also the beginning of Masaliang's infiltration of his own people into the territorial management system, and it is also a new goal for many small surnames around Masashi, and these small surnames have worked hard to develop. The internal affairs ministers who assisted Sasuke Roche in managing Nagato's internal affairs were Nagashige Uemura, Nobuyo Kihara, and Jinyasu Hoshino.

Similarly, like Sasuke Roche, the little surname Roshi Masahide, who followed Masahiro when he started from the Luo family, was also promoted from the military to the guardian generation. But the area he manages is much more extensive. Including all the areas occupied by the Luo family in the three regions of Aki Kingdom, Bigo Kingdom, and Yiyu Kingdom. The Interior Affairs Ministers who assisted Masahide Roche in managing the internal affairs of these regions included Naritomi Moyasu, Hiraga Takaho, and Toji Kankasa. It is worth mentioning. As a famous internal political person in history, Cheng Fu Maoan did play a great role in the internal affairs of the territory as a small surname by Zhengliang's side, so he was promoted by Zhengliang to be the internal affairs officer.

In the end, Zhou Fangguo, considering the need to pacify this place, and also considering the need to win over the former Ouchi family and the Tao family retainers who had recently surrendered to Chengcheng, Zhengliang appointed Hongzhong Longbao, the former general of the Tao family who had recently surrendered to Chengcheng, as the guardian of Zhou Fangguo. Due to the recent addition of the Luo family, Hongzhong Takabao and his subordinate Su Du Longkang were actually not very familiar with the various internal policies of the Luo family, so Masahiro specially transferred Sagara Zhiyori and Fumizu Nagachi, who had been in charge of the internal affairs of the Luo family for several years, to Zhou Fangguo, so as to assist Hongzhong Takabao in managing Zhou Fangguo's internal affairs.

The above is the situation of the Luo family's internal cabinet. Basically, each country has set up a special institution similar to that of the county government in later generations, and then set up a higher level of agency above them to manage the internal affairs of each country. This department at the highest level of internal affairs needs to be directly responsible to Zhengliang, so as to achieve the purpose of hierarchical management of the Luo family's territory.

It is also worth mentioning that in the Cabinet of the Interior, there is also an institution that is under its name, but is directly responsible only to the good government. The agency does not have a direct name, and the person in charge is Liu Le, a man from the Ming Kingdom. As the general of the Luo family and the vice principal of the Luo Academy, Liu Le is mainly responsible for monitoring the education, agriculture, civil affairs and other affairs of the territory, and is in charge of all the affairs of Ming immigrants.

Liu Le's subordinates mainly have the Fadu Sect of Aoyama Nobuyuan and the Jiangchuan clan. These two men and their men. It is mainly to play the role of a cha, responsible for inspecting the implementation of the Luo family's law in various parts of the Luo family. At the same time, they inspect the work of various agencies, including the Intelligence Cabinet. It can be said that Liu Le and others are the beacons that Zhengliang placed on the bright side to monitor various institutions. Of course, in terms of authority, they only have the right to report, but they do not have any right to transfer and dispose of it.

In Liu Le's department, in addition to the law administration, there are also mining commissioners, commercial commissioners, agricultural commissioners, and physicians. Among them, the mine is Li Hongfei, a native of the Ming Dynasty, who is mainly responsible for organizing personnel to investigate mineral deposits in various mountains and forests in the territory of the Luo family. The commercial director is Kamiya Shaoce, who is mainly responsible for the commercial affairs of the territory under the rule of the Luo family. The agricultural department of Matsuura Muneshi was in charge of agricultural research and disease treatment in the territory. The physicians were Michizo Qu Naase and the monk Genru, who were responsible for the research of diseases and drugs in the territory, and cultivated the Luo family's own medical talents.

The above is the main skeleton of the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet, and the next is the Luo family's military cabinet, another huge institution. As the ruler of the military cabinet, Masara himself directly coordinates all the affairs of the entire military cabinet. The elder of the Luo family, the military advisor, and the Dazai young eunuch from the fifth rank Akabane Shinnosuke; The elder of the family, the military advisor, and the middle affairs of the young man from the five; The elder of the family, the military advisor, and the Dazai eunuch Yamamoto Kansuke under the five ranks; The elder of the family, the military advisor Yoshioka Nagamasa, served as an auxiliary staff to assist Masarashi in managing the various affairs of the military cabinet.

On the whole, the entire Luo family has a total of four retainer institutions, more than 130 main retainer generals, but these are only the skeleton of the Luo family's retainer structure and even the Luo family's ruling system. Only the combination of these skeletons as pillars and a large amount of flesh and blood can be regarded as one of the overlords of the Luo family.

What do those, these so-called flesh and blood, refer to? In Masahiro's view, it naturally refers to those ordinary retainers, samurai, standing guards, peasants, and other groups of people who are at the grassroots level and assist the main retainers who are the backbone of each institution in handling various affairs in their territories. And these people come from three main sources.

The first aspect is the various types of talents recruited by the recruiting offices, artisan houses, and executive offices arranged by the Luo family in various places. These talents quickly integrated into all fields of the Luo family and became a member of the Luo family's ruling system. But in this way, there are not many talents who enter the ruling system of the Luo family and become the cornerstone of the Luo family, but more talents are produced from within the Luo family, which is the source of the two aspects to be talked about next.

The second source is the standing ones who have retired or obtained sufficient military merit for various reasons in the Luo family's standing reserves. These standing guards have not only received strong training in combat in the military situation of the Luo family, but also have been systematically cultivated in internal affairs, ideology, and culture of the Luo family, so when these people retire from the standing equipment of the Luo family or are promoted for military merits, they have become the cornerstone of a qualified Luo family's ruling system.

These people will bring their loyalty to the Luo family and their understanding of the Luo family's system, under the arrangement of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, to take their clansmen to various parts of the Luo family to receive their rewarded territory, or become the stationed officials of a certain organization in a certain place, and become the basis for the Luo family to control the local area and stabilize the rule of the Luo family; Or become a new backbone retainer in the four major institutions of the Luo family, and become a loyal member who supports the rule of the Luo family.

The source of the third aspect is naturally the Luo family school. After more than ten years of development, the Luo School in the Hizen National School has become the cradle of cultivating talents for the Luo family, and it has become one of the most desirable places for the younger generation in the Luo family's territory.

Here, students can learn about military, internal affairs, religion and, more importantly, the culture of the Luo family and their own language (i.e., Mandarin and simplified Chinese characters). During this period, it was even more indispensable to educate the loyal servants of the Luo family. Every year, the students who graduated from the cadets were assigned to various places in the Luo family, or became a grassroots member of a certain Luo family organization, or became an assistant to the head of a certain village, etc. After an internship as an assistant in these places, they will be promoted to become the retainer of the newly occupied territory of the Luo family, or they themselves will be promoted to the local chief of the territory newly occupied by the Luo family after the previous chief official is transferred to the new territory occupied by the Luo family. This kind of transfer prevents a retainer from serving in one place for too long, thus forming a secret force.

It is precisely because of the talent sources in the above three aspects that it is guaranteed that once the Luo family's retainer system suffers losses, it will be replenished immediately. Moreover, in this way, a large number of retainers and soldiers were divided into various parts of the newly occupied territory to fill the void of the loss of the original wealthy clans, and these newly arrived lords and managers supported the Luo family and supported the law of the Luo family's territory. In such a situation, the Luo family was naturally able to quickly digest the newly occupied territory.

The stable retainer structure, the ruling system that meets the needs, and the abundant talent pool that supports the Luo family's new ruling system have all created the foundation for the Luo family to become the overlord. Of course, to become a hegemonic family, it is not enough to rely on these, in fact, after more than ten years of development, the Luo family also has a new foundation to become a hegemon in other aspects. (To be continued......)
