Chapter 120: The Ranch

After deciding on the lord's marriage, the council returned to the day-to-day affairs of the realm.

"Your Highness, according to your orders, your subordinates sent people to go deep into the mountains and forests between Mt. Zhanggao and Mt. Yigan, and finally found a herd of wild horses in a natural pasture near Lake Gokawauchi," reported Sasuke Roche.

As early as when the Luo family destroyed the Chongliang family, Zhengliang learned from the hunters that there were wild horses in the mountains and forests between Zhanggao Mountain and Yigan Mountain, but he was suffering from fighting everywhere and did not have the manpower and material resources to investigate. Before leaving for Hakata this time, Masarashi instructed Roshi Sasuke to send someone to investigate the location of these wild horses, but he didn't expect to find out so quickly.

"Oh? How many of these wild horses are there? Masarashi asked eagerly. Now the Luo family only has a total of 5 war horses, which is really pitiful, and with more wild horses, they can consider forming a junior riding team. In Kyushu, where horses are scarce, the horseback team is bound to be a force for surprise victory.

"There are about 30 of them, but only 15 of them can be used as war horses, and most of the rest are young and old horses, which are not suitable for war horses, and the family now lacks horse trainers, and these wild horses cannot be transformed into war horses in time," replied Sasuke Roche.

"Don't worry about the problem of craftsmen, this time Hakata and his party, I have already looked for a few suitable candidates, these people will soon settle in the territory of their own family," said Masaliang, who spent a lot of time in Hakata for two days to find or recruit capable people, "Let people first enclose the area where the wild horses are active into a ranch, and then send someone to open up a road leading to the ranch, which is the confluence of the two small rivers of Ishikawa and Houchuan, and the land must be very fertile, Heiji, You are responsible for relocating some of the new people who have joined the province to settle there. ”

"Yes, Your Highness," Sasuke Roche and Heiji Togo bowed to receive the order.

It seems that the idea of the horse riding team still needs to be slowed down a little, although there is a small number of horse sources, but these wild horses still need a certain amount of time to be domesticated, and more importantly, even the most rudimentary horse riding team is equipped with a lot of money, with the current financial resources of the Luo family, it is temporarily unaffordable.

"Your Highness, Your Excellency has been sweeping the pirates and fishermen along the west coast of Banya Bay in accordance with His Highness's orders for the past few days, and the only remaining pirates on the west coast who still have a certain strength seem to realize that the family is ready to gradually weaken them, so this morning they gathered 1 ship and 10 ships to launch a surprise attack on the navy of the family, but they were spotted by the minister," Sun Goro reported.

"What?" , Zhengliang was shocked, such an important thing was only said now? Zhengliang couldn't help but be a little angry. You must know that the Luo family only has a small naval army now, and once there is a loss, it will be difficult to form a strong combat force. This will greatly affect Masato's next actions.

His Majesty immediately organized 1 ship and 15 ships to counterattack, and at the same time, another team composed of 2 ships and 20 ships to outflank from the side, and finally defeated the Nitta Navy, the leader of the Nitta Crowd committed suicide, except for a small number of pirates who jumped into the water to escape, most of the Nitta Crowd had surrendered, and His Majesty took the opportunity to destroy the Nitta Crowd's stronghold on the west coast. Due to the suddenness of the incident, His Highness had just finished cleaning up and collecting the materials, and asked His Highness to forgive His Highness for not reporting in time," Sun Wulang continued to report.

"Since the last can defeat the Xintian people, and the navy army has not suffered much loss, this time the fault of not reporting in time will be offset by the military merits" Masato decided to forgive Sun Goro's mistake, but it is also necessary to beat it properly, this guy pirate has done it through, and he has forgotten the way of being a minister, "How is the harvest this time?" ”

"Your Highness, this time we have captured 1 ship, 8 Xiaozao, and 3 Dutcha ships, as well as a number of swords, spears, bows and arrows, but we have very little other supplies, these have been registered in detail, please take a look at them," Sun Goro took out a pamphlet from his bosom and said respectfully. …,

"You don't need to read the account books, just hand them over to Pingji to receive" Zhengliang waved his hand and said, with such a little material, Zhengliang would not be able to check it in person, otherwise it would cause the impression of distrusting his subordinates, "So now the family's navy has 6 customs ships, 45 Xiaozao, 9 Dutch ships and 4 merchant ships?" "What's more, after the destruction of the only threat to Xintian, the entire Banwu Bay will be the world of the Luo family's naval army.

"Yes, Your Highness," it was Togo Heiji who spoke this time, "Before the assessment, Sun Goro had already reported to me the specific battle situation and the collection of materials. Your Highness, with the continuous sweep of the navy of the family, many fishermen and pirates in Banwu Bay have surrendered, and hundreds of people have poured in in recent days, and in order to settle these new lords, the territory has now consumed hundreds of stone of grain. ”

"Well, in order to avoid mixing in with other powerful spies, let's settle these lords in the area of the ranch just determined to reclaim and settle, there is also a lake with a considerable area, so that they can both farm and fish, speed up the implementation of the territorial law, and let them settle down as soon as possible" Zhengliang thought for a while and said, "In addition, Sun Goro, from today onwards, arrange for 2 customs ships and several Xiaozao to completely block the entrance and exit of Banwu Bay and Xuanjie Beach, and no ships will be allowed to enter or leave; In order to prevent spies from infiltrating the west coast, fishing is still prohibited in Banwu Bay for the time being, and only the family's naval vessels can be found on the sea; After the last day, the sweep of the west coast will be accelerated, and there will be no more pirates on the west coast of Banwu Bay by the time July passes. "In August, there will be a larger military operation in the Luo family, and it is very important to ensure the stability of the surrounding territory.

"Yes, Your Highness," Sun Goro bowed and took the order.

"Your Highness, at this rate of consumption, the family's food reserves are worrying. This month, due to the construction of the territory, the construction of the lord's mansion and the daily training of soldiers, more than 600 stone of grain has been consumed, and now the family's civil food reserve is only more than 10,000 stone, and the military food reserve is only about 3,700 stone, with the increase in the population of the territory, the food pressure will further increase" Seeing that Masato did not answer the food question positively, Togo Heiji had to remind again.

"I've expected this, this time Hakata and his party, the family has reached an agreement with the Shenya family to cooperate, the first batch of materials should be able to reach the family's territory today, the second batch of materials will arrive at the end of July, and all the materials ordered by the family in August will fully arrive, these materials are mainly some weapons and armor, fortunately, you will be responsible for the specific distribution work at that time" Masara seemed to have been prepared, and immediately said, "After these materials arrive, the family will focus on purchasing food, and August and September are just the autumn harvest season, Food prices are bound to come down. The specific cooperation arrangements are still in charge of Kizo Shigetada. Kokuji and Yinuo are in charge of finding specific people to participate in the specific sale of snow salt, remembering that the main purpose of the family is to establish a sound source of information in this way. ”

"Yes, Your Highness", seeing Zhengliang's serious expression, everyone solemnly accepted the order.

"In addition, each team needs to step up their training, especially after the new equipment is issued, and I will inspect the training effect of each team one by one during this time. If there is negligence, military law will deal with it," Masahiro said.

"Yes, Your Highness", the hearts of all the members of the team present trembled. It seems that His Highness has a new military operation.
