Chapter 369: The Hao Clan Surrenders

"Newly recruited ashigaru and samurai had to train in the boot camp for two months before being assigned to the teams. ,!” Masara commanded. Since most of the people recruited this time were samurai and ashigaru who were forced to leave the original wealthy clan, they must have resisted in their hearts, if it weren't for their livelihood, it is estimated that some of them would not join the Luo family's team. Therefore, Zhengliang must let these people grind in the new barracks, eliminate their anger, and even gradually support the Luo family. At the same time, let the instructors of the recruit battalion weed out some dissident guys.

"The armor in the warehouse was immediately distributed to the teams." Masara said.

"Your Highness, at present, with the armor that has been allocated to each team, there are only 1,300 full and more than 100 belly rolls and carcass armor, but according to His Highness's requirements, there will be at least 2,000 people in the family who need to be equipped with armor, and the armor is about to be insufficient." Kosuke said with a bitter face.

"The 1,000 bodies of the Naya family will be delivered to the house soon, and if it's not enough, let's order some from the Kamiya family and the Naya." Masara said. There is no way to deal with the problem of armor. In the territory of the Luo family, there are currently only a dozen craftsmen of weapons and firearms, but there is still no craftsman who knows how to make armor. I hope that a few people who have been dispatched to Kuniyou Village recently in the name of supervising the progress of the production will be able to persuade a few craftsmen there to defect to the Luo family.

"At the same time, the locations of each team will also make some adjustments." Masarashi said, "The 1st Standing Ashigaru Brigade under the command of the executive Tankane, the base of which was changed from Takeo Castle in Kiteshima County to Matsuoka Castle in Fujitsu County. Unite the third standing naval team of Kashima Castle next to it to guard against the intrusion of Haoqiang from Nanhizen. Adjutant General Tetsunosuke, military commander Fu Luo Zhengxiu. Due to a mistake, he will go to the recruit camp to be in charge of the training of the recruits for two months, during which he will be temporarily under the command of the 1st Standing Ashigaru Team with the commander of the first standing ashigaru team. ”

"The second standing ashigaru team under the command of Tomohisa Oishi is still stationed at Matsugaku Castle, Kawara Castle and Hirota Castle in Biki County, and the military commander is Masamune Roshi. Pay attention to the joint Sasebo Bay Wuying Castle, where the 2nd Standing Naval Army led by Guna Tong guards against the powerful forces in the south and the pirates in the direction of the five islands in the south. ”

"The third standing ashigaru team under the command of Shigemasa Yoshida. The garrison was changed from Lion Castle in Matsuura County to Gannam Bo Castle on the border of Saga County, with the deputy general Uemura Hontsuna and the military commander Fu Luo Masamune. Pay attention to uniting the troops of the nearby Shuijiang Castle to guard against the strong forces of Kanzaki County. At the same time, pay close attention to the mountains of Dagaoshan and Beizhen Mountain. ”

"The fourth standing ashigaru team under the command of Kinoshita Masanao is still stationed at Shiroyama Castle in Karatsu Bay, Matsuura County, with the deputy general Ueda Shinji and the military commander Fu Roshi Sasuke. Pay attention to uniting the nearby Karatsu Bay, with the 1st Standing Navy Squadron led by Murakami Matsu and Sun Goro, to guard against the Harada family at Fukae Takejo Castle in Chikuzen and the Hakata family on Iki Island. ”

"The fifth standing ashigaru team under the command of Akuda is stationed at Hasuike Castle in Kanzaki County. Defend against the forces of the main family of nearby Mizue Castle and the third standing naval force of the main family of Kashima Castle to guard against the strong forces of Kanzaki County and the strong forces on the other side of the Chikugo River. Since the fifth standing ashigaru team needs to cooperate with the relocation of the wealthy clan and the lords this time. Therefore, before the fifth team officially settled in Lotus Pond Castle, Mingfeng Hidemasa temporarily led the family's low-level samurai team to guard the city. ”

"Mizue Castle will be used as a station for the samurai team. During the period when the samurai team was in charge of guarding Hasuike Castle, he led the cloaked people to temporarily guard the castle. ”

"The village castle will be one of my residences, guarded by the cloaks. The heralds were also stationed here with me. ”

"Saga Castle will be used as a cavalry station, and the cavalry will be stationed here under the command of Isono Yuanmasa, who will be responsible for mobile support of Hasuike Castle, Mizue Castle, and Gannambo Castle."

At the same time, the Fire Unit, the Reconnaissance Team, and the Black Hawk were all stationed in Kishigaku Castle.

On the whole, in the south and west of the Luo family's territory, there are mainly 600 people from the Luo family's first and second standing light teams, and 300 people from the second and third standing water armies. A total of about 900 people worked together to guard against threats from the land and water in Minamihizen, as well as threats from the water in the direction of Chikugo and Goto.

To the east and northeast of the Luo family, there were mainly the Luo family's third and fifth standing ashigaru teams, as well as the third standing naval army, the samurai team, the first standing cavalry team, and the cloaks, totaling about 1,200 people. We will work together to guard against threats from the land in Higashi-mae, and at the same time, to guard against threats from the surface of Chikugo.

In the west and northwest of the Luo family, there are mainly 300 people from the Luo family's fourth standing ashigaru team. The 1st Standing Navy Brigade consisted of 200 people, a total of about 500 people, to jointly defend against the threat from Iki Island before and after Chikucho.

"Your Highness, are the defenses near Kishigatake Castle and Kabe Island in the southwest too weak?" Kakuma Ishizong said with a frown.

"What do you think?" Masara asked.

"As Kakukuma Ishimune-sama said, the number of guards near the family's Kishigaku Castle and Kabe Island in the southwest is too weak, and once a pirate or even the Iki Hakaku family comes to attack, even if the navy in the direction of Karatsu and the standing ashigaru team rush to reinforce it, I am afraid it will be too late." Shinnosuke Akabane said.

"I'm afraid not, right?" Murakami said solemnly, "Part of the family's first standing naval army will be stationed in Huzi Bay for a long time, and there will also be regular patrols of the family's naval army along the coast from Tangjin Bay to Huzi Bay." "Apparently he thinks his navy is underestimated.

"Hehe, Lord Murakami, I have no intention of offending, it's just that once the opponent's navy comes to attack on a large scale, the navy of my family alone may not be able to fully withstand it, once the other party kills along Huzi City to Yegao Mountain, or even Anyue City, it will be dangerous!" Shinnosuke Akabane said with a smile.

"What the military advisor said is very true." The rest of the retainers agreed. Most of their families live outside of Kishigaku Castle, and it will be dangerous if they are killed by the enemy.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty thinks that according to the deployment of Fang Cai, there is no problem at all with the prevention of the powerful forces in Hizen and Chikuzen." Kakukuma Ishizong spoke again at this time, "Why don't you recruit another standing ashigaru team, this standing ashigaru team, part of it will be responsible for staying at Kishigaku Castle, and the rest will stay in Notakayama, once there is a war near Kabe Island, the team that stays in Notaka can also rush to reinforcements immediately, I don't know what His Highness thinks?" ”

"What do you think?" Masara said. It's not that Zhengliang doesn't want to agree, it's just that if one more standing reserve is added, the burden on the territory will inevitably increase, and the retainers may have opinions.

"Your Majesty has no objections." As the most likely opponent, Togo Heiji pondered for a while and took the lead in expressing his position. The rest of the retainers followed suit.

"In that case, let's recruit another three hundred people." Seeing that all the retainers had no objections, Masato nodded and said, "I also need to participate in the two-month boot camp training, and then assign a hundred people to guard the wild high mountain, and the remaining two hundred people to guard the shore of the city." "In this way, the Luo family's standing army has more than 3,000 people.

"In addition, after the training of the recruit camp, the veterans of the existing teams need to be exchanged with each other to achieve a certain number of veterans in the six standing ashigaru teams, and this matter will be personally arranged and supervised by the two military divisions at that time." Masara said.

"Guozhi, arrange personnel to survey the terrain of the entire Hizen, Chikugo, and Chikuzen, and in two months, I hope to see a simulated map of the three countries made by sand molds in the council hall."

"Yes," the retainers took the order.

At noon on July 8, the 10th year of astronomy, the half-day evaluation meeting of the Roche family finally ended. After the assessment, the retainers went down to implement the tasks given by the head of the family. Although it is a bit busy, the head of the family has become the head of a country at such a young age, and all the retainers are full of confidence in their future.

Masara stood on the rooftop of the Nakamura Urban Village Pavilion, shining on the bright noon sun, watching the retainers gradually moving away by the railing, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

In the distance is an endless paddy field, and in the distance is the Ariake Sea...... Today is another sunny day.

Time passed, and Masato also got caught up in the busy affairs of the territory. After all, with a large number of newly acquired territories, there must be a lot of things to decide.

On July 11, the tenth year of astronomy, news came from the imperial court, officially removing Shao Erdong Shang Fei from the post of guardian, and replacing it with Luo Zhengliang as the guardian, and at the same time, according to the sponsorship of the Ouchi family, Enjoji Shinyin was the guardian of Hizen. The Ouchi family even openly agreed that the Enjoji family inherited the thousand families and was unified.

Yuancheng Temple Xinyin, who got the news, was startled, and hurriedly came to ask Zhengliang for his guilt, and at the same time asked Zhengliang to allow him to ask the imperial court to remove him from the post of guardian. Yuancheng Temple Xinyin was really completely panicked, but he had seen with his own eyes the miserable experience of those wealthy families who had rebelled against the Luo family during this time, almost like the extinction of the clan. He didn't want to offend the head of the family because of this. Otherwise, who knows what the head of the Dao clan thinks, in short, this position of Hizen guardian is not good for him and his family, only disadvantage, and it may cause the disaster of killing and exterminating the clan at any time.

The moment Masara received the news, he knew the intentions of the Ouchi family. It's just a little bit of fiddling with the relationship between the lord and vassal of the Luo family, and a little wooing the Yuancheng Temple family. On the bright side, it seems that he is trying his best to help the Luo family, but in fact, there are some small actions secretly. In this regard, Masahiro just laughed it off, he didn't have much hope for this alliance, and in the final analysis, it was just a mutual use. So calculations must be everywhere.

After appeasing the frightened Enjoji Nobuyin, Masara also agreed to Enjoji Nobuyin about removing the post of guardian. Masarashi sent someone to Ichijo Moritaka, who was still in Sakai Town, and put him in charge of running the matter, and at the same time asked him to make Togo Heiji the guardian as much as possible. With the family character of Togo Heiji, he can actually barely hold this position.

The news that Masara officially assumed the post of Hizen guardian quickly spread throughout the neighboring countries under the deliberate publicity of Masara and the Ouchi family. The first to react was Hizen's Haoqiang, and they sent submissions one after another. It seems that all of a sudden, there is a scene of all the heroes rising up and surrendering.
