"Thank you, the Maori family is grateful. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" replied Mori Terumoto loudly and firmly.

The above eight people are all the eight elders of the Kuroda family so far, and they are not only the eight most important families of the Kuroda family at present, but also the core of the Kuroda family's rule and strategy.

Because it is likely that at some point in the future near the present, the strategy of attacking Kyushu will be launched, coupled with the particularity of a legion, and the forces of the generals in all aspects, this time a large-scale transformation has also been carried out as usual.

The Kotera family, the Maori family, and the Ando family already have a lot of powerful retainers, even if the Maori family lost many retainers because of the war with the Kuroda family, but its heritage still exists, at least the powerful retainers group can still be pieced together, so the Kuroda family did not send them any strength.

Under the command of the Itetomo clan army, there are some important ministers Akashi Keiqin and Kono Tsunao, the original Bizen Kunikoku Hanafang Masayuki, Araki Murashige, Takeuchi Hisakatsu, and Shimizu Soji remained in office, and the original Chinese Zhongheizuka Weihiro and Urakami Kiyomune remained in office, and the other Kuno Shigekatsu, Masuda Masaaki, Miyake Ieyoshi, and Yoshida Nagashi returned to their families. In addition, Kaneko Mototaku, Ohno Masanao, Hei Naobo, and Kana Naoshige were dispatched to the former Kono family retainers, as well as Tani Tadasumi and Takimotoji Fei as a parade.

Under the command of Kotera Takahisa Legion, there are important ministers such as Okamoto Hide, and the forces of Oda Shigeru, Oda Ryotsu, and Ikeya Kanemo. In addition, Iwanari Tomotsu, Miyoshi Masayasu, Miyoshi Masakatsu, and his subordinates, who were already lurking in Bessho's house, also accepted the direct leadership of Kodera Takahisa.

Under the command of Matsui Shigetaka's army were the foreign retainer Iga Kusataka, Yori Kuroda Toshitaka, Kuroda Toshinori, Kuroda Naoyuki, Hattori Muneke, Ota Munetoki, Otani Momoharu, Harada Yoshitane, Irita Yoshimi, Irita Kotoshito, Sasai Nagashi, Nabeshima Kiyonobu (retainer Nabeshima Kiyoba, Nabeshima Toshihisa, Nabeshima Kiyoshige, Nakamura Kiyoshiki, Nakamura Kiyoyu), and Kuriyama Riyasu, who was exiled by the Kuroda family.

Under the command of the Musato Kobei Legion, there are the important ministers of the outside, Nobuhara Keinno, and the power of Yukimi Kada, Shishido Takaya, Awaya Motomichi, Uzu Yorishige, and Uzu Yorisho.

Miki Tsuaki removed his subordinates Hideaki Kurose, Akicho Kawamatai, and Kiyo Miki, as well as Shigeshin Motoyama, Sadashige Motoyama, Shigei Motoyama, Shigerao Motoyama, Yasuo Furukawa, Keno Orukawa, and Yoshio Orukawa to help manage the place.

The former Tosa Province daimyo Ichijo Kaneda was transferred to Tanba Province to assist the Kodera clan, Iyo Province daimyo Saionji Kohiro was transferred to Tosa Province, and Tosa Province Daimyo Yasuki Kunita was transferred to Iyo Province, both of whom will assist the Iate Tomoji clan and participate in the subsequent Minami-Kyushu Raiders.

In fact, this time the rotation of forces is very strong, except for a few positions that have been negotiated before, there are many other places where the positions have changed, which is also for the stability of the Kuroda family's rule. After all, it is very dangerous for a daimyo to become a vassal.

In addition to the change of the family elders, the Kuroda family officially appointed Harada Yoshitane and Endo Keitaka as the Kuroda family generals, and they had the right to lead the army alone. In addition, there are actually Iwaki Yutong and Miyoshi Masaysu who have also obtained the rank of general of the squire, but the identities of the two cannot be disclosed now, and they are still holding an annual meeting at another house!

As for the other retainers, wealthy clans, and countrymen, they all received some rewards, and because the Kuroda family had a relatively strict merit record system, it was acceptable to reward everyone.

This time, because the Kuroda family's land increased exponentially, the number of samurai who exceeded the land of Chiyuki reached 160 people, and they jointly divided the land of more than 200,000 koku owned by the Kuroda family.

Compared with the rewards of the samurai, the rewards of the concentric people are still carried out privately, but this time in the big battle, the concentric people have made a lot of meritorious contributions, especially the subordinate Zhizhong and the Otowa people, who have performed well and obtained a lot of benefits.

The Kuroda family currently has five naval armies: the Ahogun-Ming Naval Army, the Hara-Hidden Ki Akino Imperial Naval Army, the Noshima Imperial Naval Army, the Innoshima Imperial Naval Army, and the Tosa Imperial Naval Army, and because of the expansion of the territory this time, for the safety of the territorial waters, the naval forces must make adjustments.

The original garrison of the Ming State Navy and the Tosa Navy of Ibao County remained unchanged; The original garrison of the Ming Navy of the Hidden Kingdom was changed from the Hidden Kingdom to the Ohata Bay of the Inaba Kingdom, a deep-water port near the junction of Inaba and Tajima; Nojima's naval army was transferred from Kojima to the garrison of Akama Pass in Nagato Province; The Innoshima Navy was transferred from Kojima to Awaji Province.

At the same time, Kuroda also ordered Zhang Jiangfu to try to see if he could contact some Ming pirates who had not participated in the Japanese Rebellion before and were not too guilty of great crimes, and came to serve in the Kuroda family, because Kuroda Vocational High School felt that the current naval army of the Kuroda family was indeed very powerful.

However, once the territory of the Kuroda family is further expanded, the scale of the current Kuroda family's several naval armies will be a little stretched. However, directly building a naval army is something that Kuroda Vocational High School is unwilling to do, because it will be a bit of a waste of money and labor, because it will be a huge investment, and even the Kuroda family will not dare to do it easily.

And through direct recruitment, to recruit a pirate army of the Ming Kingdom, it is completely different. In this way, even the ships and people are all ready-made, and the ships will generally be better than those of our navy, and the combat effectiveness of the water thieves is beyond doubt, as long as they are not traitors and evildoers, Kuroda Vocational High School is still willing to accept it, at most it is to give some more money and food supplies every year. Directly recruiting Ming pirates is definitely a win-win situation.

After that, there is the annual graduation ceremony of the Kokoko, and the boys who graduated this year and entered the Kuroda family and became Naotoshi, there are three boys, Yoshitsugu Otani, Yukinaga Konishi, and Masayuki Hanafu, and the other seven teenagers are not too outstanding, they will return to their own family, and become the new family governor, and continue to work for the Kuroda family. Together, they completed their own Yuanfu ceremony under the auspices of Kuroda Zhitaka.

In fact, this is a formality, such as Otani Yoshitsugu, Konishi Yukinaga and Hanafang Masayuki The three of them were actually in the summer, at the most critical time of the war with the Maori family, they were ready to support the front line with temporary reserve soldiers at any time, but in the end everything went smoothly and they were not used.

After all the rewards were completed, everyone returned to their original seats and sat down, and Kuroda said again, "My lords, there is one more thing I want to tell you today. ”

As soon as Kuroda said this, everyone knew that there was still something to announce, and everyone immediately recovered from the excitement just now.
