Subsequent to the Northern and Southern Courts period in Japan (circa 1336-92), no new Chinju-fu Shogun appointments were made however, there are records that MINAMOTO no Yoshishige (later founder of the Nitta clan) was appointed Chinju-fu Shogun by virtue he was an ancestor of Yoshisada NITTA (an active and meritorious retainer of the Southern Court) who had been appointed posthumously.
南北朝時代以降、鎮守府将軍は叙任をみることはなくなったが、後に新田氏の祖となる源義重が南朝方の功臣として活躍した新田義貞の祖である理由をもって贈鎮守府将軍として記録されていることから没後、贈官を受けたものと考えられる。
