Chapter 665: A Powerful Water Army

The light of the fire gradually dimmed, and a white morning mist rose on the Nakechuan River, and the air was filled with the smell of battle, and the neighing of war horses everywhere.

Looking at the Tochoji Temple that was still emitting smoke halfway up the mountain in the distance, Masara sat quietly on top of the Maza in the military tent. Tochoji Temple, the temple that would later become famous for its huge wooden statues and cherry blossom viewing "cherry blossom festivals", was burned down by Masara on the orders of the monks in the temple due to the stubborn resistance of the monks in the temple, and all the monks inside were buried in the fire.

With the burning down of Tochoji Temple, the rebellion that raged in the Hakata area of Chikuzen Province for four days (the period from the beginning of the temple shrine rebellion to its complete suppression) was put down, but the only pity was that during the war, Takashi Aokei, who disguised himself as a wandering monk, took advantage of the chaos to escape.

In this regard, Masahiro had no choice but to order the issuance of a search and arrest document to continue the pursuit, but Masato no longer had any expectations for whether he could be captured. Because at this time, the population registration and land inspection work in the Luo family's territory had just ended, and the wooden identification law implemented within the Luo family's territory had not yet been implemented, and it was almost impossible to find Qingjing in the vast sea of people and many mountains and forests.

"As for the power of the temples and shrines participating in this meeting, let's deal with them according to the conditions I talked about with Master Zenei earlier. As for the temples and shrines in other areas of Chikuzen that did not participate in this rebellion, they were managed according to the laws of their own families, and the monks and shrine guards must be disbanded, the territory confiscated, and if there were any resistances, they would be directly killed. After a moment of contemplation, Masarashi said to Shigemasa Yoshida and Saki Kuakawa, who were in charge of handling the rebellion. Kuaikawa Shaoxi has been really tired lately, and two days ago he visited the local temple shrine in Bungo to implement the law of managing the temple and shrine of the Luo family. Now I've arrived at Chikuzen. We assisted Shigemasa Yoshida in dealing with local temple shrines. And with this sentence of Zhengliang fell. It has been decided that the heads of the thousands of people who participated in the rebellion will be cut off, not to mention the bloodshed that will be caused by the implementation of the Luo family's law in the future.

"The naval ships seized from the Zongxiang family will be divided into forty customs ships, thirty troop carriers (Dutch ships) will be given to the fourth standing naval force of Fenghou, and the rest of the ships will be handed over to the first standing naval army. Someone was sent to inform Murakami Buyoshi to have someone come and collect the warships, and at the same time to inform the 2nd Standing Navy to protect the warships along the way and return them safely to the coast of Bungo. "In this battle with the Muneka naval army, a total of 83 customs ships and 51 troop carriers (Dutch ships) were captured in Hakata Bay and the naval port of the Soxiang family, and the rest of the ships were burned in the battle.

After getting this batch of ships. The strength of the Luo family's naval army has been greatly expanded.

Among them, the first detachment of the navy, with a standing reserve of 600 people (some peasant soldiers will also be recruited for temporary tasks according to the situation), already has 160 small early ships, 21 troop carriers (Dutch ships), and 88 customs ships, the main generals are Sun Goro and Murakami June, and the deputy generals are Oyano Tanemitsu and Kamitsuura Tanekyo, and the station is the harbor of the former Hakata Navy in Karatsu Bay and Hakata Bay, which is responsible for the defense of the coastal waters from Hakata Bay and Karatsu Bay to Kabe Island in Huji Bay. The main purpose is to guard against some pirates along the coast and the threat from the sea forces such as Iki and Chikuzen Soka (after the end of this battle, the Muneja family navy has lost its threat.) The only fear is that the Ouchi family in the Mojiko area will come to make trouble). 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. It can be said that the first team of the navy at this time is the strongest navy team of the Luo family.

The second standing squad of the navy, standing for 600 people, 190 small mornings, 15 troop carriers (Dutch ships), 65 seki ships, the main will be Kunatsu Tong, the deputy will be Fukuda Kanji, Kamitsuura Shigesadada, the station is Hizen Matsuura County in Hirado Port, Goto Shiroyama Castle in Goto, Egawa Castle in Goto, Fukuda Castle in Biki-gun, the main protection area is the waters of Hirado Island, the sea area of Goto, and the coast of the Nagasaki Peninsula, to guard against threats from the sea, especially the threat of naval forces in the direction of Satsuma, if necessary, timely support on both sides of the first, The third standing naval force is also responsible for collecting certain tolls from merchant ships passing through the waters of their home and ensuring the safety of these ships.

The third standing squad of the navy, standing for 600 people, 180 small mornings, 20 troop carriers (Dutch ships), 73 seki ships, the main will be Tao Masato, the deputy will be Oyano Taneko, the general station is Yashiro Castle near the mouth of the Kuma River in Yashiro County, Minamihigo, in addition to this place, the team will be divided into several squads, stationed in Sumoto Castle in Amakusa County, Shiki Castle, Kutama Castle, the main protection area is Tachiban, Amakusa Beach and Yatsushiro Sea, to guard against threats from the sea, In particular, the Shimazu Navy in the Satsuma Sea is responsible for collecting a certain amount of tolls from merchant ships passing through the waters of the Satsuma Sea and ensuring the safety of these vessels.

The Fourth Standing Naval Army, with Murakami Takeyoshi and Wakabayashi Echigo as the main generals, and Uku Junding and Uto Yukiko as the deputy generals, commanded 72 ships, 30 troop carriers (Dutch ships), and 51 Kozao, with a standing reserve of 600 people, stationed at Tsurazaki Castle in Beppu Bay and Kuriyama Castle in Usuki Bay, and was responsible for maintaining the safety of Beppu Bay, Usuki Bay, and Tsukumi Bay, and at the same time imposing a sea ban (no business and fishing) on the coasts of these three harbors, and prohibiting all other non-domestic ships from sailing in these sea areas.

Taken together, the Luo family already has 298 ships, more than 500 small ships, 86 ships, 40 merchant ships, and 2,400 standing soldiers. Its strength is already on par with the largest naval force in Kyushu and Saikoku at this time, the Ouchi family naval army (there are more than 300 customs ships, in addition to several Ataka ships).

After distributing the spoils of the navy, Masayo's face also turned grim, and then he said sternly: "Bring people up." Fei Duan, who was standing at the door of the big tent, immediately took the order. Soon after, a dying fellow was dragged into the tent. This guy is none other than Tachibana Kanmitsu, who had previously participated in the rebellion.

"What do you think should be done with this traitor?" Masato glanced at everyone in the tent, and then asked.

Everyone looked at Tachibana Jianguang in a semi-conscious state out of the corner of their eyes, but they didn't make a sound. In particular, those Chikuzen and Chikugo retainers who were invested in the Luo family's account at the same time as Tachibana Jianguang last year bowed their heads, for fear that Masashi would ask them.

"Why, I can't speak, isn't there anyone who can give me some advice?" Masahiro once again glanced around the faces of everyone in the big tent with a smile, and his demeanor and tone were already a little interesting.

(Please receive the "Light of the Great God.") (To be continued......)
