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. | 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.
