Chapter 120 Ranch
After deciding on the lord's marriage, the assessment meeting returned to the daily affairs of the territory again.
"Your Highness, as you told me, I sent people to go deep into the forest between the Mount Takao Mountain and Yigan Mountain, and finally found a group of wild horses in the natural pasture near Lake Gokawa," said Sasuke Roh.
As early as when the Luo family destroyed the Chongliang family, Masara learned from the hunter that there were wild horses in the forest between Joktao Mountain and Yigan Mountain. He was just struggling to fight everywhere and had no manpower and material resources to investigate. Before leaving for Hakata this time, Masarara instructed Sasuke Roche to send people to investigate the location of these wild horses, but he did not expect to find out so quickly.
"Oh? How many of these wild horses are there?" Zhengliang asked anxiously. Now the Luo family has only 5 war horses in total, which is really pitiful. With more wild horses, you can consider forming a junior horse riding team. In Kyushu, which lacks horses, the horse riding team will inevitably become a surprisingly powerful battle force.
"There are about 30 horses, but only 15 can be used as war horses. Most of the rest are young horses and old horses, which are not suitable as war horses. Moreover, our family now lacks horse trainers, so these wild horses cannot be converted into war horses in time," replied Sasuke Roche.
"Don't worry about the issues of the vocational staff. This time, I have found several suitable candidates for Hakata and his vocation. These people will soon settle in their territory," said Masayoshi. In Hakata, he spent a lot of effort to find or recruit capable people in two days. "First let someone encircle the area where the wild horses are active into a ranch, and then send someone to open a highway to the ranch, which is the intersection of the two small rivers of Rikawa and Houchuan. The land must be very fertile. Heiji, you are responsible for relocating and settling down there."
"Yes, Your Highness" Sasuke Roche and Heiji Togo bowed to receive the order.
It seems that the idea of the horse riding team needs to be slowed down a little. Although there are a small number of horse sources, these wild horses still need some time to be domesticated. More importantly, even the most simple horse riding team is expensive, and with the current financial resources of the Luo family, it is temporarily unaffordable.
"Your Highness, I have been continuously sweeping away the pirates and fishermen along the west coast of Banwu Bay in the past few days. The only remaining pirate on the west coast of Banwu Bay, the only remaining pirate with a certain strength on the west coast seemed to realize that my family was preparing to gradually weaken them. This morning, I gathered a ship and 10 small boats to launch a raid on my navy, but my ministers saw it through," Sun Wulang reported.
"What?" Zhengliang was shocked. He said such an important thing now. Zhengliang couldn't help but get angry. You should know that the Luo family now has only a very small naval army. Once there is any loss, it will be difficult to form strong combat power. This will greatly affect Zhengliang's subsequent actions.
"My subordinate immediately organized a quarantine ship and 15 Xiao Zao to fight back. At the same time, another team consisting of 2 quarantine ships and 20 Xiao Zao surrounded the side and finally defeated the Shindazhong naval army. The leader of Shindazhong committed suicide by separatism. Except for a small number of pirates who dived to escape, most of the Shindazhong had surrendered. The subordinate took the opportunity to destroy Shindazhong's last stronghold on the west coast. Because the incident happened suddenly, the minister had just cleaned up the materials and confiscated them. Your Highness came back. Please forgive me for not reporting it in time." Sun Wulang continued to report.
"Since you can defeat the Shintazhong in the end, the navy will not suffer much loss. This time, the fault that has not been reported in time will be offset by military merits." Masayora decided to forgive Sun Wuro's fault, but it is necessary to hit it appropriately. This guy has done a pirate and has a little forgotten the way of being a minister. "How did you gain this time?"
"Your Highness, this time we seized 1 clearance ship, 8 Xiaozao and three lotus ships, as well as swords, spears, and bows and arrows, but we have obtained very little other materials. These have been registered in detail. Please take a look at it." Sun Wulang took out a booklet from his arms and said respectfully.
"I don't need to read the account book, just hand it over to Heiji to receive it." Zhengliang waved his hand and said, "Masayoshi wouldn't have checked such materials personally, otherwise it would have caused the impression of distrust his subordinates. "Then now our navy has 6 closed ships, 45 Xiaozao, 9 Dutch ships and 4 merchant ships?" More importantly, after the demise of the only threatened Shinta, the entire Danya Bay is the world of the Luo family's naval army.
"Yes, Your Highness" spoke this time. "Before the assessment, Sun Goro had reported to me the specific battle situation and material collection. Your Highness, as our naval army continued to sweep, many fishermen and pirates in Banya Bay surrendered, hundreds of people have poured in in recent days. In order to resettle these newly surrendered entourages, the territory has now consumed hundreds of stones of food."
"Well, in order to avoid intruding into other spies from powerful people, please place these corpses in the pasture area determined just now to settle down. There is also a lake with a considerable area, so that they can not only farm and fish, speed up the implementation of territory laws, so that they can settle down as soon as possible," Masayoshi thought for a while and said, "In addition, Sun Wuro, from today, arrange two ships to close and several small boats completely block the entrances and exits of Banyu Bay and Xuanjie Beach, and no ships are allowed to enter and exit; in order to prevent spies from infiltrating on the West Bank, Banyu Bay is temporarily prohibited, and only their own naval ships can be on the sea surface; finally, accelerate the sweep of the West Bank and strive to avoid pirates on the West Bank when July passes." In August, the Luo family will have large military operations, and it is very important to ensure the stability of the territory.
"Yes, Your Highness" Sun Wulang bowed and accepted the order.
"Your Highness, at this consumption rate, our family's grain reserves are worrying. This month, due to various constructions of the territory, the construction of the lord's mansion, and the daily training of soldiers, more than 600 stones of grain have been consumed. Now our family's civil grain reserves are only more than 10,000 stones, and military grain reserves are only about 3,700 stones. As the population of the territory increases, the grain pressure will further increase." Seeing that Zhengliang did not answer the grain question positively, Heiji Dongxiang had to remind him again.
"I have expected this. This time, Hakata and his team have reached a cooperation agreement with the Kanwu family. The first batch of materials should be able to reach our territory today. The second batch of materials will arrive at the end of July. All the materials ordered by our company will arrive in August. These materials are mainly weapons and armor. Yukisuke, you will be responsible for the specific distribution at that time." Zhengliang seemed to be prepared and immediately said, "When these materials arrive, our company will focus on purchasing grain. August and September are the autumn harvest season, and the grain prices will probably drop. The specific cooperation arrangements will still be subject to Kimizuo Chongzhong. Guozhi and Ionuo are responsible for finding specific candidates to participate in the specific sale of snow salt. Remember, our main purpose is to establish a complete source of intelligence in this way."
"Yes, Your Highness." Seeing Zhengliang's expression serious, everyone took the order solemnly.
"In addition, each team needs to step up training, especially after the new equipment is issued, I will inspect the training results of each team one by one during this period. If there is any negligence, the military law will be dealt with," said Zhengliang.
"Yes, Your Highness", the members of all the teams present trembled in their hearts. It seems that Your Highness has a new military operation.
