Chapter 359 18. The Descendants of the Famous Family Worry About Marriage

Who is Saito Tatsuoki?

Many people think that he is a person who is greedy for wine, lustful, favors treacherous people, is ruthless and has no foresight.

But from what I know, I am sorry that Saito Tatsuoki is still okay except that he has ascended to the high position of daimyo at a young age and has great power and military strength.

He is brave and can fight with his sword himself; he is determined, as long as he beats Oda Nobunaga, he will go no matter how difficult it is; he is decisive. His father's system of senior officials' consultation dispersed the power in Mino, but he dared to pull a group to fight a group and gradually take power.

Such a person is in line with the image of fighting again and again after repeated defeats, and the image of Toyasaka who died bravely in battle.

His only shortcoming is that he is too young, really too young! If it were Nobunaga, he would call him uncle. To use a cliché, people always think that he has eaten more salt than Saito Tatsuoki has eaten rice, and always think that he is not good at doing things.

The Kuni-shu are "cheap" after all. If Saito Ryuoki doesn't rub them to the ground, there will definitely be people who take advantage of their seniority and jump out to make comments. They show off how much they have seen and chat and laugh with so and so.

So Kobayata is completely open to the so-called surprise attack of Takenaka Hanbei. People like Saito Ryuoki don't look like they can be scared away by a dozen people. The sixteen riders taking the city is more like nonsense, just to make people laugh.

Just wait and see, this kind of thing is not something Kobayata can intervene in.

Do you think Saito Ryuoki doesn't know that the Nisano-shu are a bunch of traitors? They knew it a long time ago! He knew it clearly when Ando Mamoru was pressed in Beifang Castle by him!

Do you think Saito Ryuoki doesn't guard against the Nisano-shu? Didn't you see that he moved all the hostages into Inabayama Castle and demanded that they must hand over their biological sons, not even adopted sons or wives.

He knew it clearly, but he also knew that if he could defeat Oda Nobunaga twice more, the Seino clan would definitely become loyal again. Now, as long as the Seino clan could stay out of it, it would be fine. When he could pull his hands away in the future, he could deal with this group of people clearly just like his father and grandfather.

Of course, in the current situation, let's see who can't stand it first!

...

Nobunaga ordered Fujikichiro to make sure that the Seino clan quickly changed sides, and then he and Kobayata returned to Komakiyama.

When he rushed back to Komakiyama that night, Nobunaga kept Kobayata for another night, and at the same time wrote a letter for Kobayata to pass on to Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu. It was just nonsense and good words like seeking common interests, being fluent in the times, and having heard of your name for a long time.

Oda Nobunaga also meant to deal with it first, and it was impossible to conclude an alliance immediately, so it was better to just laugh and get by.

"Koyata, I heard that the legitimate son of the stable master is already three years old?" Nobunaga sealed his seal and handed the letter to Koyata.

"Yes, the young master is the legitimate son of Lady Nagao, and is quite supported by the retainers."

It's just a boast. The retainers support a three-year-old child. It's because his uncle is Uesugi Terutora. With such a thick uncle's thigh, as long as this child is not a bastard, basically nothing will happen to Uesugi Terutora while he is alive.

With such a strong support, the retainers will certainly support him. In the chaotic times of the Warring States Period, interests come first. Even if this person is not a legitimate son, he may be supported by the retainers, not to mention that he is both legitimate and the eldest.

Nobunaga nodded. The future of this child must be smooth, and such a large family business must be passed on to him.

"Although it's a bit early to ask? Has the stable master revealed the marriage arrangements?" Nobunaga finally spoke.

Koyata hesitated for a while, whether to tell the truth or make a nonsense response.

"Your Highness, is the stable master still interested in the daughter of the Kasugayama Kanrei family? As for the others..." Koyata pretended to hesitate.

"That's right. It's really good to continue to marry with the Kanrei family." Nobunaga might have really asked casually. After hearing Koyata say that Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu still wanted the daughter of the Uesugi family, he just ignored it.

Koyata put away the reply, confirmed that it was correct, and prepared to leave and return home to explain the task.

"Wait, do you have a daughter to marry?" Nobunaga didn't let Koyata go.

"Qi Qi Wan?" Koyata asked incredulously.

"Just ask." Nobunaga nodded. Oda Nobutada is still young, only about six or seven years old, seven or eight years old, and is not at the age of marriage at all.

Koyata's mind began to filter frantically, and then tried hard to think, but he couldn't think of who Oda Nobutada's wife was!

Of course, some people would say it was Takeda Harunobu's daughter Matsuhime, but she was not married at all. Moreover, the engagement between the two was made during the extremely short period of peace between Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Harunobu, and it did not last for a few years.

Afterwards, although the peace with the Takeda clan was completely broken, Oda Nobutada did not even have a wife. The head of the Oda clan did not have a wife in the legal sense.

It's a hammer. Oda Nobunaga is also beginning to have difficulty finding a suitable political marriage partner for his son!

Given Nobunaga's personality, he probably would not let Qimyoumaru marry the daughter of a nobleman. This is far less useful for conquering the world than having a relative like Uesugi Terutora.

Tokugawa Ieyasu is a younger brother, impossible! Saito Tatsuoki is an enemy, impossible! Kitabatake of Ise? Kobe? Seki? Nagano? Oda Nobunaga probably doesn't like it, and northern Ise has been hit by Nobunaga's fists for a long time, and now it is united against Nobunaga.

Asai Nagamasa just got married to Aichi, and none of the three sisters were born yet, there is no shadow of it. Liujiao is clearly hostile and he doesn't have a daughter either.

Well! It turns out that Oda Nobunaga is just like Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu, with no choice at all! He can only pick someone from the opposite side!

No wonder Oda Nobunaga asked his daughter after his son, he was really forced! There are so many boys and girls in the Yamanouchi and Oda families, and there is really no choice to find a wife for the legitimate son.

The descendants of the daimyo are also worried about marriage!

"His Highness the stable master has no daughter yet, but His Highness the Gohamamatsu has two daughters waiting to be married." One of them is considered to be Kobayata's niece.

"Oh? Who is the daughter?" Oda Nobunaga looked like he had a clue.

"One is the daughter of Lady Shirakawa, and the other is the daughter of my younger sister, who also has another son."

"So it's your niece? How old is she this year? Is she healthy?" When Oda Nobunaga heard that it was Kobayata's niece, he immediately became interested and asked.

"Only two years old, but my sister gave birth to a baby before, and this one was delivered very smoothly, so there should be no hidden disease. When I saw her before, she was also very flexible."

"A little younger, it would be better if she was five or six years old." Nobunaga was a little disappointed, but still very interested.

Are you blaming me for this? Go blame Yamanouchi Yoshiharu! He gave birth to her, not me!

Oda Nobunaga, you bastard, are you determined to marry into the Yamanouchi family, right!
