		Mori should not have the forces to defend all four provinces so simply move most of your two armies ahead to take more land while leaving a decent sized force to defend the back province of Harima.
		You now have the monks and naginata to take these provinces so it's better to act now rather than waiting for the Ronin to go on the offensive it will only cause headaches later on to come back and kill these forces when they become expansionist.
		After the Ronin are defeated you can move these forces west or east depending on where you need the most help probably in the east where you should be engaging the last remnants of Imagawa or the beginning of the Takeda or Hojo clan at this point.

		Then, in 1575, Nobunaga's victory at the Battle of Nagashino—where he issued his 30,000 troops with some 3,000 matchlocks—showed for the first time on this soil that the future of warfare would come from the barrels of guns.
