"Yes, this island is divided by Yoriko Bay, which can be used as a safe haven for ships to moor, and the 2nd Standing Ashigaru Brigade is not far from here, so it can be supported at any time. In normal times, the bay is maintained by the family's navy, and on the island, some peasant soldiers temporarily recruited by the family maintain law and order, but "Hearing Shinnosuke Akabane's question, Masarashi nodded and said.

"This is an ideal location, not far from the sea trade route currently controlled by the Matsuura Navy, and there will definitely be a lot of merchant ships stopping here, and the family can use it to collect some tolls," said Shinnosuke Akabane, fanning his red fan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the defense has been arranged, and after today's assessment, you will immediately go to the garrison to perform your duties" After deciding on the arrangements for the most relatable, Masahiro said, "As for the construction of the territory, in addition to speeding up the popularization of the law of the territory, it is also necessary to step up the organization of the people to carry out the reclamation of the fields and the repair of water conservancy, and strive to stabilize the entire territory before the arrival of spring ploughing." In addition, there are several marching avenues to be built. Masarashi said, pointing to the map.

"There are four marching avenues from Kishigaku Castle to the western part of the Higashimatsunura Peninsula, Karatsu Bay, Riseong, and Lion Castle, as well as the avenue from Notakayama along the Karagawa River to Karajin Bay, and the avenue from Karajin Bay to Seven Hills Castle, a total of six avenues, which need to be laid by manpower immediately, and the newly captured slaves will be the main force for this work, and paid conscription can be organized if necessary," said Masahiro.

"Your Highness, with so many tasks going on at once, I'm afraid that the 1,000 stone of food allocated last time will not be enough," Togo Heiji said with a frown.

"Another 5,000 stone will be allocated from the grain reserve for the bereavement reward of this campaign, as well as for the construction of the territory in the coming months," Masayo said with a wave of his hand. Six thousand stone of grain is enough for the territory to toss for a while, and in addition to this part of the grain. At present, there are 21,000 civilian food reserves and 6,000 stone military food reserves in the territory, plus the food that is continuously purchased through the Kamiya family. It is enough for the Luo family to use this time. It can be said that the territory has no worries about food for the time being.

"As for the heads and corpses of the enemy who were cut off, they will be burned," Masarashi said, "and no one is allowed to hide the heads privately, and those who violate them will be severely punished." "Political conscience and Taoism, some people will collect the heads they have won in order to show their martial bravery. The heads and corpses of these enemies were the source of the disease, and in order to avoid the emergence of post-war diseases or even plagues, they had to be disposed of in a unified manner.

"The above things are in charge of Pingji and Liu Le, the two of you," Zhengliang commanded.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, what should be done about those wandering warriors?" Shinnosuke Akabane reminded at this time.

"Post recruitment notices throughout the territory. Let these people sign up at the recruiting center at the foot of Nodakayama. At the same time, there is also a recruitment point in Karatsu Bay, which has the largest number of ronins," said Masahiro. For these ronins who wander inside the territory but are forced to stay in the territory because of the territory blockade policy, it is indeed necessary to be careful.

Now Zhengliang is tantamount to imprisoning these people in disguise, and he does not provide relief, so they must be given a way to survive. It just so happens that this large-scale recruitment of ashigaru and samurai cannot be met by simply selecting from the remaining ashigaru of the Luo family. So these people can also be recruited on an exception.

On the same day, after the assessment was over, all the retainers who had been given the task began to take action.

December 23, the ninth year of Astronomy, is a special day for the wandering samurai of Karatsu Bay.

In a tavern in Karatsu Bay, there are a lot of ronins sitting at the moment.

"So, there's not a single ship out of the harbor?" A ronin samurai said.

"Yes, I have already inquired about the port in the morning, and it is still blocked, and there are no boats to go out to sea," said another samurai.

"Let's wait. I hope it will stabilize soon," said the samurai who originally asked the question, "It's just that this Luo family is really powerful, and it instantly drove the Bo family out of Karatsu Bay." ”

"Haven't you heard?" At this time, a ronin sitting next to him suddenly said, "Haven't you heard of the name of the Eagle of Matsuura?" ”

"The Eagle of Matsuura? Could this be the strength of that Matsuura Eagle? ”

"Not bad," said the ronin who spoke, smugly. I was also impressed by the arrangement of the head of the family, and I thought. This kind of task of spreading the prestige and history of the family is the easiest to accomplish, and you will definitely get a lot of rewards when you go back.

"Quick, tell me about this Matsuura Eagle," the surrounding ronins also gathered around. Many of them had just arrived in Karatsu Bay, and they were going to stay for a while to see if they could find work, and if they couldn't, they would continue to wander elsewhere, but they had to stay here for a while because they suddenly encountered a war that enveloped almost half of Matsuura-gun.

"Okay, you can listen carefully," said Shi Shiran, the Luo family detective who pretended to be a ronin.

At the same time, similar scenes were staged everywhere in the newly occupied territory of the Luo family. This is a method formulated by Zhengliang to stabilize people's hearts, and a large number of detectives are sent to various parts of the territory, and then the outstanding achievements of the Luo family are promoted. Don't underestimate the power of this method, due to the lack of entertainment, such propaganda methods are the most popular folk entertainment method in this era. With the spread of the Luo family's outstanding achievements, not only did the new people gradually accept the new rulers, but also made some people with careful thinking completely die.

"Quick, there are recruits outside, come on" Just as everyone was listening to the Luo family's outstanding achievements with relish, someone suddenly ran in and shouted.

"Recruitment?"

"Yes, the treatment is good, come on," the shouter took the lead after finishing speaking.

With a "coax", the entire wine house immediately ran away. What are they wandering around for? Don't expect to be appreciated by a lord and then get out of the way and fill your stomach? Now I suddenly heard that someone was recruiting, and of course I couldn't wait to go.

A vacant lot on Dangjin Bay Street is now full of people on three floors and three layers outside.

I saw a vacant space in the middle of the crowd, and a verdict was pasted on a wooden board. A member of the Luo family's Ashigaru was standing in front of the verdict and loudly announcing the contents of the verdict. The content of the judgment is mainly as follows: After becoming a footlight or samurai of the Luo family, he will be covered with food, shelter and equipment, and there will also be a generous fortune and a field cultivated by his family, and at the end of the case, there is also the identity of the Luo family leader personally confirmed by the lord. Of course, there is also an attached condition, which is preferred to settle in the Luo family's territory with their families or to settle down after being drafted.

"My lord, use me! I'm pretty good at archery! ”

"My lord, I once took the heads of two samurai in a battle!"

As soon as he heard Ashigaru's preaching, the people around him couldn't wait to apply. Where can I find such a good treatment?

"Take your time, register here, and then take the token to the recruiting center under Nodaka-cho to train, and those who pass can become the ashigaru or samurai of the main family," shouted Ashigaru, who was in charge of recruitment.

"My lord, I'll sign up!" As Ashigaru finished speaking, the people around him immediately signed up enthusiastically......)
