=== Taiyōan Expansion ===
The Taiyōan court was also in the process of consolidating its frontier during this time. In 1377, efforts were made to take direct control of the frontier and its manpower. The northern frontier in the Zuyo region was divided into new administrative units: Nulong, Vantiep, Hishima..... Each of these units was assigned an official. Militia units were established among local communities conscripts had the character "
Unrest in the Frontier began following the incorporation of several tribes into the Dominion of the Great Imperial Confederation of Taiyo and the appointment of titles to several tribal leaders in 1379. In the view of the Trinterian court, these titles were not merely honorary appointments. Local militia in the southwestern frontier zone was reorganized in 1382 under the newly appointed prefect of Kurihara. The 45 newly incorporated hamlets were assigned hamlet militia leaders. A commissioner surveyed the region for able-bodied men to be organized under a guard commander selected from the area's prominent households, who received a specific signal banner to indicate their group's distinction. Groups of 30 men were organized into local governance units known as "tithings", which were organized in groups of five under a troop commandant, groups of ten led by an aboriginal commander, and in groups of 50 led by a commander-in-chief. It was perhaps this intensification of border defense that the Trinterian court felt threatened by, as it saw its own systems of local control being slowly eroded away.
