In addition to getting Tsushima Island, due to the fame of the Luo family, many ronins and people came to settle in the Luo family, and even took refuge in the Luo family.

For example, it is the first agricultural book writer of the Wa Kingdom period, an expert in agriculture, and the Matsuura Mune, which is recorded in history. This man proposed new farming methods to many of the daimyos, which led to an increase in the grain income of many of the daimyo domains. He happened to be traveling in the Shikoku region before, and after learning about the situation of the Luo family, he rushed to the territory of the Luo family. After learning about his talents in the Interior Cabinet of the territory, he immediately recommended it to the lord Zhengliang, and after a formal examination and communication, Zhengliang appointed him as an agricultural commissioner, who was responsible for studying agricultural cultivation and the prevention of crop diseases in various parts of the territory.

For talents like Matsuura Sobi, they pay more attention to the hope of working under a daimyo who respects and supports him, although Matsuura Sobi has been under many daimyo in the past, but they don't feel that he has received much attention. And many of the new farming methods they proposed were not even approved of by these daimyos, which is why he often could not stay in one place for too long. But this time, after an exchange with the lord Masahiro, Matsuura was pleasantly surprised to find that his lord not only respected his talents, but also had many new ideas about agriculture, which made him very happy. After receiving the encouragement of Masayo, he immediately followed the retainers of the Cabinet to the various territories of the Luo family in Kyushu, and he was determined to compile a book on the geography and characteristics of agriculture in various places, so that the Luo family could manage the agricultural cultivation in various places more conveniently.

In addition to talents from all walks of life such as Matsuura Mune, ronins and people from Nishikoku, Shikoku,, Tokai and other places have also been pouring into the territory of the Luo family because of this situation. There was even a kind of transport merchant who specialized in transporting people to the borders of the Luo family's territory in areas such as Sakai Town. Eventually, this situation even evolved into a dedicated line of transport. Transporting both people and goods. The emergence of this situation naturally accelerated the speed of trade with the Luo family in various places, bringing a lot of people to the Luo family, and also bringing a lot of commercial benefits.

Of course, as the saying goes, there will be gains, and in this strategy of the Western Kingdom, the Luo family has also lost a lot. Take the retainer generals as an example, so far. The Luo family has killed seven generals in this Western Raid, they are the deputy general of the second standing ashigaru team, Kuroki Minoru, and Zhanbu Shangzhi; The third standing ashigaru team deputy general Shimahara Junshige, Joi main house; Fourth, the deputy general of the Standing Ashigaru team asked for the view; the bow of the third standing naval army, Hiroshi Chunding; On the bow of the 2nd Standing Naval Corps, Shigesada Tsuura.

Most of these generals were killed in cage battles in various places. This is also a headache in the Warring States period, a large number of castles built on various hills caused great trouble and trouble to the army of the raiders, and the army often suffered a lot of damage when attacking these castles. Of course, the best way to capture these cities is naturally to use gunpowder to blast the city gates, but due to the original restrictions such as saltpeter, the gunpowder of the Luo family is actually not much, and it can only meet the needs of iron cannons at present. Moreover, the quality of the gunpowder developed by the Luo family is not good. More importantly, the enemy defending the city is not a fool. It is not easy to get you close to their fortifications, so in the process of burying gunpowder. Naturally, you will suffer a lot of damage. After that, after the city gate was blasted, it had to experience a fierce battle in the city, so after accumulating so many cities, the Luo family naturally suffered a lot of damage.

In addition to the above-mentioned generals, one hundred and thirty-three samurai, who were the main combat force of the Luo family's reserves, were killed in battle, a total of 215 standing soldiers and 1,668 reserve standing or temporary peasant soldiers were killed in battle. There are more than 5,000 seriously injured and lightly injured people, of which more than 200 of the Luo family's standing reserve will be retired because of serious injuries, and more than 1,000 reserve standing or temporary peasant soldiers will be disabled. It can be said that this time Itsukushima and the Western Kingdom Raiders are the most severe loss of personnel since the Luo family started. It was precisely because of such strict battle losses that Masayo did not take a strong attack to deal with the Arryu Castle and Numa Castle, which were still resisting at this time, and even slowed down the frequency of attacks in the confrontation with the Maori family.

Of course, since the Luo family's personnel loss is so strict, then the record of this battle is naturally very impressive. Judging from the number of statistics from various battlefields, there are currently more than 3,000 heads of the enemy (including the Ouchi family and the Mori family) (not counting the heads of the two armies of the Mori family and the Tao family in the Battle of Itsukushima, after all, this record belongs to these two families), and more than 16,000 prisoners (not including the more than 2,000 prisoners who were released back to Bigo Province, Bei China, and Bizen Province). At least 20,000 enemy soldiers were captured because they fled too quickly, and most of these fleeing routs were local peasant soldiers who had been temporarily recruited, and after the rout, they all ran home and went into hiding. At the same time, more than 30 enemy retainers and generals were captured, such as Yamazaki Hiromori, Ekara, Noda Nagabo, Suki Du Takasu, Uno Normal, and Noma Takashi, and were surrendered by these retainers.

In this battle, from the standing reserves, reserve standing stands, and temporarily recruited peasant soldiers to the retainers of the various institutions of the Luo family who continued to join in the process, a total of more than 60,000 people were invested in the Luo family. And from the beginning of the preparation to the complete occupation of the Ouchi family's territory, it took more than eleven months. Of course, it is precisely because the Luo family has invested so much power that the Luo family is much better than the Maori family, which took more than two years to completely annex the territory of the Ouchi family in history.

For the retainers and ordinary soldiers who died in the battle, they will receive different pensions according to their rank, including money and grain, land, houses, tax concessions, and the promotion of the rank of the lords, all of which will be sent directly to their families by the Cabinet of the Interior. Their families will be properly arranged, and their children will also have the opportunity to attend Roche School free of charge. And the military merit awards received by these generals and soldiers (even peasant soldiers) during their lifetimes will also be sent from the military cabinet to the families of each family under the tracking of the military officers of each team.

For those who have retired due to disability, they will be jointly assigned new tasks by the Cabinet of the Interior, the Military Cabinet, and the Intelligence Cabinet, and under normal circumstances, they will be assigned to various places in the territory to serve as the most basic personnel of the organization, such as becoming the head of a village, responsible for the village's agricultural affairs or public security, and daily volunteer training. In the same way, whether it is a disabled standing soldier or a general reserve standing or temporary peasant soldier, they will receive sufficient pensions to ensure that their families will not be destroyed by this. Of course, the exploits they won in battle will not be forgotten.

Therefore, in the Luo family, the easiest way to transform from a poor family to a rich family is to participate in the Luo family's military situation, if you are killed or disabled in the attack or resistance to the enemy, the family will receive a high pension, even if there are no casualties, you can perform your duties and safely until retirement, then in the process you can also bring a lot of wealth to the family, and there will be a safe arrangement after retirement. Therefore, the Luo family's army is the most courageous when fighting, after all, it represents enough wealth and rights, and at the same time, the family members will be guaranteed enough.

After all, if you are disabled or die on the battlefield due to escape or lack of battle, you will not get a pension, in this case, many soldiers will be ruthless when they are in trouble (anyway, they are all dead, it is better to die with the hostile army, so as to bring compensation to their families). Such a ruthlessness was gradually integrated into the various reserves of the Luo family, thus gradually forming the unique military soul of the Luo family.

Of course, these military forces of the Luo family are taught by the soldiers in their respective reserves, and they also know that the qiē that they and their families have are given by the Luo family, and as they continue to gain wealth and power, they will naturally become more loyal to the Luo family.
