Nice.
Remember also when you get Chivalric Knights that you can try to dismount them before open battle. They are quite a good unit in that format too.

This can be done with right clicking the unit and choose "dismount" from the list of options during the deployment phase.

As for the Mori, you can keep the alliances as they give you 250 koku each every harvest if you are playing with the Mongol Invasion/Warlord edition.
