Hakata's fire burned for a day and a night. The scorching heat of the fire could be felt even miles away.

This burn burned down many powerful forces in the Hakata area and the nostalgia of the people for the Ouchi family, and also accelerated the speed of the Luo family's rule over this area.

The only thing that made Masarashi unhappy was that Naito and the others, who had retreated from Hakata, eventually left on the ship of the Soakata family. Although the Luo family's navy tried their best to block it, the clan of the clan has always been the strongest navy in the Chikuzen region, plus only one of the three navy teams of the Luo family came, and the clan clan was supported by the Hakata navy from Iki Island on the way, and finally watched most of the army led by Naito Yoshimori evacuate safely.

Afterwards, although the general of the navy Murakami solemnly pleaded guilty, Masara did not punish them, but comforted them. This time, the number and quality of the Luo family's water army are inferior to the other camp, this is a fact. Masashi can only hold back this breath for the time being, and wait for his family's shipyard to build more powerful ships before going to take revenge.

On the second day after Hakata was burned, with the help of the captive Sugi Shigeki, the Sugi family in the Hakata region finally surrendered, and the entire western part of Chikuzen Province fell into the control of the Luo family. Next, it's time to settle down.

First of all, the most important task in front of Zhengliang is how to deal with the problem of the many wealthy families in this war.

Among the several wealthy families, the Harada family and the Tsukushi family are the best to deal with. Masara directly dispersed all the remaining clansmen and then moved to settle in Hizen, Higo, and Chikugo, and the original territories of these two wealthy families directly became the direct territories of the Luo family, and were divided by Masayo to the meritorious people in this war. The same. The land of the three counties of the original Qiuyue family's night beard, upper seat, and lower seat was also divided into meritorious people in the family. According to the law of the Luo family. These retainers who have obtained fiefs are equivalent to the local officials sent by the Luo family. They were able to generate more tax revenues from these territories and generate more taxes for the Roche family.

For the Tachibana family and the Takahashi family, Masara retained their territory, and allowed them to retain their military power and retainers, and the taxes could be paid like ordinary Warring States wealthy families, and the specific taxes in their own territories were determined by themselves, and they paid them every year according to the annual tribute (the annual tribute tax rate was determined according to the law of the Luo family), and the price paid was. They need to obey the laws of the Luo family, and the head of the village in the territory will be sent by the Luo family separately.

The purpose of Zhengliang's purpose is to let the personnel of the Luo family publicize and supervise the implementation of the Luo family's laws at the bottom, and at the same time, through the comparison of the taxes of the Luo family's other territories and the improvement of the people's lives with the local area, the local people will be biased towards the Luo family.

At the same time, it also set an example for the wealthy families outside the Luo family, so that other wealthy families thought that even if they surrendered to the Luo family, their territory would not be confiscated. Otherwise, there will be no more hostile wealthy clans to surrender to the Luo family in the future. Of course, Zhengliang also has the idea of letting these local snakes help the Luo family temporarily suppress the power of the local temple.

Similarly, for the three families of Chikugo Province, Hoshino, and Kusano, Masarashi also adopted the same approach as Tachibana and Takahashi. Masashi believes that after a period of continuous integration and comparison. The local leaders of these wealthy clans naturally knew that it was better to be under the direct rule of that family, otherwise these wealthy clans would take the initiative to accept the Luo family's system more thoroughly. Otherwise, it will only lead to the relocation of the local people on their own. And according to the law of the Luo family, this is not allowed, and then Zhengliang will have an excuse to clean up these wealthy families.

Compared with these above-mentioned families, the fate of some other small wealthy families in Chikugo and Chikuzen is much more miserable. Because they did not take the initiative to join the Luo family when they fought against the Otomo and Ouchi coalition forces, after the war, they were ordered to relocate the whole clan, and they were forcibly transferred to the relatively barren places of Hizen and Higo, not only did they have to abide by the laws of the Luo family, but their small army was also disbanded on the spot. These families have become an alternative land reclamation army of the Luo family.

After settling these wealthy families, Masato immediately issued two more orders. The first was to order the Cabinet of the Interior to conduct a thorough land inspection of the Luo family's territories in Hizen, Higo, Chikumae, Chikugo, and even Hogo. Since most of the Hizen, Higo, and Chikugo areas had already been brought under the jurisdiction of the Luo family, in fact, the land inspection work this time was mainly concentrated in the newly acquired territories of Chikuzen, Chikugo, and Bungo. The target of this order includes the wealthy families who have just surrendered.

The second order was the demolition of the fortifications of the newly occupied territories within the territory. The target of this order also includes the wealthy families who have just surrendered.

The castles that were asked to be demolished were Bamboo Castle of the Kusono family, Myoken Castle of the Hoshino family, Nagaiwa Castle of the Kankan family, and Yamaya Castle and Akaji Castle controlled by the Luo family. Chikuzen Province includes Madiliang Castle, Iwakiriyama Castle, and Sugimoto Castle of the Hara Akizuki family (at this time, the Akizuki family had completed the relocation of the ethnic group, and the power of the Akizuki family had completely withdrawn from the western part of Chikuzen Province), the Shibata Castle of the former Chikushi family, the Iimori Castle and Takazu Mountain Castle of the Harada family, and the Iwaya Castle and Takamanyama Castle of the Takahashi family. The original Hakata Castle of the Sugi family has been burned down, so there is no need to demolish it, and Takatayama Castle also does not need to be demolished, but it will be stationed in the army of the Luo family. There is no need to demolish the Tachibana Castle of the Tachibana family, but the military forces of the Luo family will be stationed in the army, and together with the military forces of the Tachibana family, they will monitor the movements of the Ouchi family's forces in the direction of Soka County.

In order to serve an exemplary role, Takara Castle in Chikugo Province, Hizen Province, Asahiyama Castle, Katsuo Castle, and Mise Castle in Hizen Province, which have been controlled by the Luo family, will also be demolished. After some demolition, the Tachibanayama Castle, Takatorii Castle, Koji Mountain Castle, and Fukae Castle in Chikuzen Province remained, and the Hizo Castle in Bungo Province was not demolished.

Regarding the demolition of their own city, the wealthy families who had just surrendered to the Luo family naturally had a lot of complaints. It was only after learning that even the old Dongxing Pingci of the Luo family had not built their own residence city, so they immediately kept silent.

Of course, it was impossible for Masato to allow them to keep all the castles in their original territory, but he didn't want to make the relationship with these retainers too stiff. So he ordered people to organize these wealthy families to visit the territories of Togo Heiji, Kinoshita Masanao and others. When they saw the beautiful courtyard buildings made of bricks and tiles without the protection of the city walls, they were envious. Masahiro immediately said that he would build a brick compound for them to live in for free, to compensate for the loss of their residence. Of course, a bowl of water must also be leveled, and Masahiro doesn't want the original generals under his command to be dissatisfied because of this, so he also adds the territory of the original retainers.

As a result, the generals who were originally under Zhengliang were naturally overjoyed, and although those new wealthy families were still unwilling in their hearts, the sullenness in their hearts had also dissipated a lot.

With the promulgation of a series of orders of Zhengliang and the gradual implementation of the Luo family's laws in the newly occupied territories, the rule of the Luo family gradually showed its authority. The rule of the Luo family is also getting smoother day by day.
