The establishment of Yuganagawa marked a shift in focus for the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|UTC]]. For the next decade, the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Company]]'s energies shifted towards expanding the territory southward. This strategy aimed to put pressure on the northern flank of the [[Myanga Ayil Khanate]] and relieve pressure on the [[History_of_Dericania#Duchy_of_Marialanus|Duchy of Marialanus']] [[Cote d'Or colony]] in modern day [[Kandara]]. | The establishment of Yuganagawa marked a shift in focus for the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|UTC]].

The governance of Yuganagawa walked a tightrope. The [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Company]] administration sought to maximize profits through trade and resource extraction, while the Ai Dynasty desired a bulwark against the [[Myanga Ayil Khanate|Khanate]] threat. Maintaining this balance was a constant challenge. Tensions occasionally flared between the [[Dericania]]n administrators and the {{wp|Japanese|Mutsotori}} populace, particularly regarding taxation and labor practices. However, the shared threat from the [[Myanga Ayil Khanate|Khanate]] and the need for economic prosperity usually served to quell these conflicts. | |||

===Military=== | |||
The {{wp|Hatamoto}}-{{wp|Epistates}}es commanded the [[Oyashima#Kokkahito|Kokkohito]] empresses' Army of the West, a force that fluctuated between 5-50,000 men throughout its tenure. The force was a combination of {{wp|samurai}}, professional [[Dericania]]n soldiers, {{wp|Japanese|Mutsotori}} peasant levies, and enslaved soldiers from the lands they conquered. The officer corps was mixed [[Dericania]]n and {{wp|Japanese|Mutsotori}} who grew to respect each other over the century of the army's existence. The greatest strength of the army, when it hit its stride from [[1643]]-[[1675]], was to leverage the strengths of the [[Dolong]] and [[Levantia|Levantine]] ways of war and have them build off of each other. After the defeat of the [[Myanga Ayil Khanate]] at the [[Myanga_Ayil_Khanate#Battle_of_Telmen-Uul|Battle of Telmen-Uul]], in [[1668]], the force was reduced in size and importance, and eventually becoming little more than a static border guard. | |||
