Answer:

The shogunate appointed its own military governors, or shugo, as heads of each province and named stewards to supervise the individual estates into which the provinces had been divided, thus establishing an effective national network.

Step-by-step explanation:

From 1192 to 1867, the shogunate, also known as the Japanese bakufu or shgunshoku, was the government of Japan's shogun, or hereditary military ruler. The name shogun appeared in numerous titles granted to military commanders commissioned by the imperial government to fight the Ezo (Emishi) tribes of northern Japan in the 8th and 9th centuries. Sakanoue Tamuramaro was the first to achieve the highest warrior rank, seii taishgun ("barbarian-quelling generalissimo"), and the title (abbreviated as shogun) was eventually applied to all shogunate leaders.
