Chapter 1098 Oda Nobunaga's Green Hat
However, even though he saw the ambition of the Luo family, Oda Nobunaga immediately chose to form an alliance with the Luo family. What is the purpose?
Perhaps people always laugh at Oda Nobunaga's seemingly nonsensical actions, and thus call him Ohara's silly-gua. But Masara from later generations did not think so much. Oda Nobunaga's many seemingly nonsensical actions were often aimed and forward-looking, because he often wandered around and even trampled on the territory of the Ohara Kingdom before inheriting the family governor. In Masaraga's view, it was actually Oda Nobunaga's familiarity with the terrain of various parts of Ohara Kingdom, and gave a preview of tactics such as ambush, field battles and surprise attacks.
Now, while Oda Nobunaga saw the ambition of the Luo family, he suddenly sent out the most beautiful princess in his family to form an alliance with the Luo family. If it did not include some of Oda Nobunaga's purposes, it would be obviously impossible.
So, what is the purpose?
First of all, I must hope that Oda City will become a pawn for the Oda family to monitor the actions of the Luo family. This is almost inevitable. All marriages during the Warring States Period included such a purpose, which is already the norm.
You should know that even though the Oda family did not start to expand into the Mino region as history did at this time, since defeating Imakawa Yoshimoto, Oda Nobunaga should have the ambition to dominate the world. In this way, the Luo family, which also has the ambition to dominate the world, naturally became the enemy of the Oda family. Since this is the case, someone naturally needs to enter the Luo family to monitor the Luo family's actions.
Secondly, Masara guessed that Oda Nobunaga was paving the way for the Oda family in advance. After all, if the Oda family continued to expand westward, they would meet the Luo family, which was constantly expanding eastward one day.
Compared with the two families, the Luo family will definitely be stronger than the Oda family. If the two families really fight and have a relationship with Oda City, even if they are defeated, the Oda family will have the opportunity to survive from the Luo family. If the two families find it difficult to decide the outcome for a while, then with the relationship between Oda City, the two families can also discuss the world equally.
Of course, Masara guessed that this was also a better idea for Oda Nobunaga. The worst case was that before the Oda family grew up, the Luo family became a member of the world. Then, with the relationship between Oda City, the Oda family would naturally have more opportunities to survive.
As for why Oda Nobunaga finally chose to marry Oda City to the Luo Family rather than choose others, first, based on the information from Kizao Shigetachi before, in fact, the only princess Oda City left in the Oda family was left at this time; second, with the family situation and family style of the Luo Family, if she just got an adopted daughter to marry her, this would inevitably be rejected by the Luo Family. Only Oda City's identity and beauty can be worthy of the Luo Family's strength.
Although the Oda family has a purpose of this and that, they will not hesitate to marry the beautiful beauty in the family to the Luo family, does the Luo family need to accept the marriage alliance between the Oda family?
In fact, it should be beneficial. Although the Luo family is far away from the Oda family at this time, the Toei Imakawa family, which is confronting the Suruga Imakawa family and the Hojo family at this time, actually belongs to the Luo family. If it is formed an alliance with the Oda family, it may be able to use the Oda family to provide certain help to the Toei Imakawa family.
What's more, the Luo family can also have the opportunity to use the Oda family to increase its influence on the Tokaido and Kinki region. Therefore, in general, forming an alliance with the Oda family is still beneficial to the Luo family.
Of course, the above is analyzed from the interests of the two families. When it comes to the individual, Masara feels a little awkward. You should know that he is already thirty-seven years old this year, and Oda City is only fourteen or five years old at most. If he agrees to the Oda family’s marriage request, Masara feels like an old cow eats young grass.
In addition, Masara also felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly became Oda Nobunaga's brother-in-law. Moreover, in Masara's opinion, it is estimated that Oda Nobunaga also had the help of this kind of relative relationship to suppress Masara, so as to gain more initiative for the Oda family in their mutual interactions after the two families formed an alliance.
However, during the Warring States Period, all personal interests had to give way to family interests. So when Masaru asked Yukisuke about his family's views on marriage with the Oda family, Yukisuke directly stated that everyone, including Togo Heiji, agreed with him to accept this marriage request from the Oda family.
"I'll think about this matter again." Zhengliang finally did not make a decision.
After listening to some simple reports from Yusuke about Kyushu, Masara returned to the backyard to meet his wives and children. That day, after putting aside all matters, Masarara spent an afternoon with her family happily.
On that night, in the samurai samurai house, incense was lit inside, and the light smoke lingered upwards, making the atmosphere inside the house look particularly quiet.
A few oil lamps were lit and placed around the room. Under the slight light, Masayoshi was quietly holding Juji in his arms. Masayoshi stroked Juji's hair and said at the same time: "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Kikumi smiled at Masayora gently and said, "Are you polite? You and I belong to a couple, so there is no need to say these polite words."
Zhengliang said "yes", nodded, and said, "Some words of sorry even couples have to say."
Juji shook her head and said, "It's not very hard for me to have everyone in my family. Moreover, you often have letters to relieve your worries. However, this time my husband is away and has been busy with military affairs. You have forgotten something."
After hearing this, Masayoro smiled bitterly and said, "I know this, you are talking about Nokhi."
Kikuhi nodded and smiled, "Just remember."
Masara said: "How could I forget, what is Nori's opinion?" After Saito's triple control of Mino Country, Masara asked Kikuhi to ask Nori's personal opinion, whether to continue to stay at the Luo family or return to Mino Country.
"Sister Nohime means staying at home." Kikuhi said, "From her appearance, I don't seem to want to go back to Mino!"
"Yeah!" Masara nodded after hearing this. In fact, Masarara had probably received this reply from Noki long ago. After all, after returning to Mino Country, it means that Noki will lose her carefree life in the Luo family. With Noki's personality, he naturally would not choose to leave.
"Husband!" Just as Masayoshi was thinking, Kikuhime suddenly said, "Miss Nonghi is not young anymore."
"Yeah!" Masayoro nodded, and there were indeed a lot of Nyohime.
"Look, how about arranging a marriage for Sister Nokhi?" Nokhi continued.
"Well, that's fine." After hearing this, Masayora nodded for a moment and agreed, "How? Have you found a good husband for Noki?"
"Well, it's actually Sister Nonghi's own wish." Faced with Masayora's somewhat joking question, Kikuhi replied very seriously.
"Oh? It's really true? So who is that person? Do you need your husband to go to the matchmaker in person?" Zhengliang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately became a little curious.
However, what made Zhengliang strange was that after Zhengliang said this, Juji stopped making any noise. Zhengliang, who felt abnormal, then looked down at Juji who was lying in his arms. He saw Juji looking at him a little angry at this time, so he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What's wrong?"
But Kikumi still didn't do anything and still looked at Zhengliang with an angry expression. At this time, Zhengliang finally came to his senses. He said a little hesitantly: "That... that person... no... it's me, right?"
"What do you think of Husband?" Kikuhi asked back speechlessly, "With Sister Nonghi's status at home at this time, is there anyone more suitable than Husband?"
After Kikumi said this, Masara couldn't help but recall that at this time, everyone at home had long regarded Noki as one of his wives. No one was more suitable for Noki than him, let alone no one dared to shoot a woman with him! After thinking about this, Masarara suddenly felt a little ashamed, as though Noki said when she was angry with him: "I have been robbed by you and I have already hit you. Can I still go back to Mino?"
"Puchi!" Just as Masayoshi was still recalling, Juji in her arms suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong?" Zhengliang, who was awakened, immediately raised Kikumi's beautiful face with his hand, kissed her gently before asking.
"Husband, didn't you expect that even if you told the retainers that you could marry Nongji's sister, with Nongji's reputation at the time, would anyone really dare to marry her?" Kikuji said with a smile.
"Haha, there is really no one!" After Kikumi said this, Masara immediately remembered the title of "Ghost Girl" of Noki, and the actions that often made the retainers frightened, so he could only say with a wry smile.
However, while smiling bitterly, he soon thought of another question. If he agreed to the Oda family's request for marriage alliance, then with Noki, Masara would have asked for the official wife and sister in Oda Nobunaga history.
"Shan! This is really..." After thinking about this, Zhengliang really didn't know how to describe the feeling in his heart at this moment.
