On the hill, Masayo and his retainers discuss the situation in Higashimatsunura County.

"According to the news of the detective's return, after the First Battle of Imari Bay, Hatamori fled back to Iwakoshi Mountain Castle and has been closed, presumably this time the blow to the Hata family is also very big. In addition, the neighboring Ryuzoji family has also made some changes, so I'm afraid that the Hasaka family may not have the spare energy to estimate the changes here on the Higashimatura Peninsula," Kizo Shigetuda said with a frown.

"No, loyalty. The Hata family has no time to take care of it, but the Hata family branch in Tangjin Bay is still capable of taking care of it," Masarashi shook his head and said, "After the three of us decide the winner, it's time for the Hata family to intervene." ”

"Shhh Kizo Shigetuda shuddered. He completely ignored the possibility of Bojia's involvement, and now after being reminded by Zhengliang, he immediately thought of the three-family scuffle, and the most powerful one was only Bojia. Thinking of this, Mu Zaozhong loyally bowed to Masato in fear, "Your Highness's thoughts are really far-reaching, and your subordinates bow down." ”

The few attendants behind him who had been beside him were also very impressed, especially Kinoshita Masanao and Mingfeng Xiuzheng, who had just joined the Luo family, and they all showed admiring eyes. And Yoshida Shigemasa also looked thoughtfully at Masahiro's back.

The autumn wind blows, and the trees in the distance form waves of the forest sea at this time.

Now that his mind had been decided, on the same day, Masarashi immediately rerouted and rushed back to the lord's mansion on Nodakayama.

In the evening, an order from the lord was issued.

The order was as follows: Onishi Kuniji commanded the 2nd Standing Ashigaru Brigade, responsible for the defense along the coast of Kamitsu to the mouth of the Kaiga River, and the main defense was the Yomiko family, the Ishihara family and the pirates along the coast, and Sasuke Roshi continued to be responsible for the statistics of the team's military merits, rewards and punishments, and ideological education as the commander of the second team.

Tsuda Hiromune led the 3rd Standing Ashigaru Brigade, which was on the border with the Sashi family, and the small surname Shingoro, who had followed Masara for a period of time, was given the name Roshi Shingoro by Masara, and was officially promoted to the third team of military soldiers, responsible for the statistics of military merits, rewards and punishments for the team, and ideological education.

The locations of the 1st and 4th Standing Ashigaru Squadrons remained unchanged.

Sun Wulang was responsible for leading the family's navy to clean up the pirates in the waters from Banwu Bay to Huzi Bay, and incorporated this area into the territory of the Luo family. As the commander of the navy, he is responsible for supervising the training of the navy. For this appointment, it can be described as a joy. The first is that he was finally reused by Masayo, and secondly, he was in charge of a fleet of sailors when he was at Kono's house, and now he is back on the sea. Of course, it's like a fish in water.

Of course, for this appointment, Zhengliang has considered it, and his character is actually not suitable for military affairs. He is more suitable to be a fierce general and become a general of the navy. But Masato thought about it, why not take this opportunity to let him experience it, after all, blind bravery is not necessarily a good thing, and in history, Su Natong was also killed because of a lack of strategy and mistakenly adopted the strategy of defending the city, Masaliang hopes to change his fate a little.

Defense arrangements are complete. Masarashi began to shift his focus to the construction of the territory. He first asked Shinsuke to organize the construction of a rudimentary earth rock at the mouth of the Shiga River as a garrison for Ashigaru; Secondly, he sent someone to inform Kamiya Sozhan in Hakata Bay, asking him to postpone the transportation of the purchased farming cattle and grain to the Luo family. The actions of the Sazhi family in this raider made people suspicious, before they figured out the situation of Sachi's timing. Masara also did not dare to risk transporting the supplies to his family through the territory of the Sashi family.

After two days of warm storage with the women in the lord's mansion, Masahiro went to inspect all parts of the territory non-stop. The main thing is to supervise two things. The first is to inspect the paving of the main thoroughfares in the Territory. For the construction of territorial roads, Zhengliang has a preliminary plan. It is to ensure that at least one avenue can lead directly to all parts of the territory, so that it can be quickly reacted in wartime. As for the quality of the road, Masahiro is to promote the use of cement in large quantities, although these cement are inferior goods (if they are produced and sold in the future, they can basically book a place in the prison cell), but they are much better than ordinary dirt roads, especially on rainy days, at least the roads are not too muddy. …,

The second thing is to inspect the cultivation of the fields and the construction of water conservancy in the territory. Now that the autumn harvest has ended, according to Zhengliang's request, several women who were originally in charge of Zhengliang's daily maintenance of the small farm have been divided into several groups to guide the fields in various parts of the territory, and to take care of and promote the method of fire ash and accumulation of fertile fields, so as to prepare for the spring ploughing of the coming year.

Originally, these women were sincerely afraid of the task arranged by the lord lord, but under the strict order of Zhengliang, they carefully went to the mission location under the escort of a few ashigaru. With the help of the orders of the lord of the political lord and the excuse of the blessing of the divine envoy, it must be easy for them to promote the method to be accepted.

As for water conservancy construction, it is another important part of territorial construction. Taking advantage of the fact that there is less rain and the water level of the stream is low during this period, water conservancy construction is vigorously promoted. Under the personal supervision of Togo Heiji, a large number of small ditches in the fields called the Masara Canal have been built in the territory.

It was the middle of October, and Masarashi finally returned to the lord's mansion after several days of repeated inspections. Here, another, more important matter is waiting for him to preside over in person.

After this period of construction, Notaka Village has become a village with more than 2,000 villagers, and it seems to have become a town. In a fenced area in Notaka Village, a simple wooden and brick stadium with a large area has recently been erected. This is the first dojo in the territory built by the plasterer Shinsuke and the carpenter Yubei at the request of Masayo. Masashi named it Roche Dojo.

Why build a dojo? There are mainly the following reasons: first, at present, Zhengliang in the territory is a well-deserved first in force, and the high force has become one of the reasons why the people worship Zhengliang, and the establishment of Zhengliang's own dojo is conducive to strengthening the establishment of this prestige; Secondly, Masato hopes to establish his own kinship power through this dojo, so he selected 20 children under the age of 12 (most of them are orphans) from the territory, as the first batch of students in the dojo, they will all be Masayo's small surname, and when they grow up, they will successively join various positions in the territory and become the basis for Masayo's domination; Then, it is also a place to provide entertainment for the generals in the territory.

In order to strengthen the loyalty of his retainers and to have some fun for everyone, Masahiro plans to hold some martial arts competitions in the territory on a regular basis and give rich rewards; Samurai can also come here to meet each other. No matter how chaotic the world is, entertainment is still needed. As far as Masato knows, those daimyo were very keen on martial arts tournaments, and they would take out a certain treasure or a large sum of money, or even a position as a reward for the prize, and let the subordinate samurai duel with wooden swords, and the winner of the last would get the prize. For the daimyos, it was a mass entertainment similar to the Nadamakura convention in Mongolia. But for the samurai, it was very unusual. This is the second best chance to get ahead on the battlefield, and if you perform well under the eyes of the lord, you can easily get promoted, not to mention that it is much safer than fighting the battlefield.

In addition, Masato is also prepared to invite some retainers to hunt from time to time. In general, hunting is in a preset hunting ground. The samurai shouted in the hunting grounds, startling the beasts in the grass with various loud instruments, and then the daimyo designated a target, and after the last man, a man appeared to shoot the prey down. The prey will generally be wild deer or rabbits, skilled in archery, and will shoot birds in the sky. There are very few beasts here, and the most common beast is the wild boar, and if you think you are brave, you can also shoot wild boars to show off your bravery. However, you should think carefully before making this decision, after all, shooting wild boars is a dangerous thing. Wild boars can fight back, the first shogun of the year, the founder of the Kamakura shogunate, Minamoto Yorito, was not good at shooting wild boars, and was killed by wild boars. …,

In addition to the above three reasons, the last is that Zhengliang has a deeper purpose. Based on this dojo, a new military academy unique to the Luo family was established, and in the future, in addition to learning samurai fighting skills, military knowledge and loyalty to the monarch will be taught here. However, this is a later story, everything will have to wait for this dojo to be put on track before it can be implemented.

In the open space of the dojo, an altar is now placed. This is the traditional dojo opening ceremony. Monk Xuanru once again acted as a divine stick, sacrificed in front of the altar in a decent manner, and then led everyone to salute Zhengliang, which is an additional ceremony added by Monk Xuanru, which is a bit of a deification of Zhengliang. After the sacrifice, the first 20 students officially apprenticed to Zhengliang. In the future, Zhengliang will be their teacher, and all orders will be subject to Zhengliang's requirements.

After the etiquette was over, Masato said a few rude words, and the formal training began.

The 20 apprentices first learned the basic martial arts exercises according to the guidance of Zhengliang, and decomposed the basic hand shapes, techniques, step types, footwork, leg methods, and body methods of martial arts, including virtual step bright palm, forward kick, lunge punch, servant step palm, side front kick, kick leg punch, horse step high-five, knee balance, spring leg clapping foot, rest step palm, arm push palm, Ding step cut palm, servant step bright palm, two take-off feet, etc.

These movements are all sorted out by Masahiro based on the martial arts teaching experience of later generations, combined with the current actual situation. After all, before he found a real martial arts master, Masahiro could only do so. (To be continued......) ……，
