"Are you going to get married?"
As the saying went, 'concern makes one confused'. As soon as Yang Rui said this, he realized that Wako Uesugi probably did not mean it that way.
"My lord, how could I be the one getting married? I'm the one who wants to marry people. Moreover, I want to marry a few more like my lord so that I can use them …"
Sure enough, Wako Uesugi's idea was to learn from Yang Rui and gather a group of useful people through the Shogunate's marriage. Because Doll acted like a little girl in front of Yang Rui, Yang Rui initially misunderstood.
However, the influence of the Shogunate in the Nihon civilization region was much weaker in comparison. Without the supreme authority of the Han Emperor, they could not directly decree marriage like the Han Emperor.
In the Nihon civilization region, the Shogunate and the royal family each represented a part of the power and prestige. The effect of the two combined was already good enough to match that of the Han Emperor.
However, Wako Uesugi's idea of borrowing Yang Rui's idea was not bad. Even if the Shogunate did not have the authority of the Han Emperor, it was completely possible to pull a red string and act as a middleman. The various big names and forces should also give some face.
The premise that would determine whether the marriage would be successful or not was the strength of Wako Uesugi's side. Just like Yang Rui in the three civilizations region, Wako Uesugi had to personally plan the marriage proposal.
At the same time, it would not be difficult to get the Shogunate to step in. Back when Wako Uesugi went to Luo, he won the right to make a request of the Shogunate and issue three government decrees. In this situation, there was no problem at all.
After making up his mind, Yang Rui agreed with Wako Uesugi's idea. Then, he and Doll began to look for more well-known female NPCs in the Nihon civilization region. However, Yang Rui did not notice that Wako Uesugi was looking at him with a smile, as if he was plotting something.
Yang Rui had some understanding of the female NPCs in the Nihon civilization region. At this time, Yang Rui already had a well-known woman in the Nihon civilization region, Ning Asano.
At the same time, Yang Rui had also confirmed the identity of the most righteous wife among the captives through the selection of the Nation War reward. It could be said that the most righteous wife could not escape the fate of being subdued by Yang Rui. It was only a matter of time.
Other than that, the female NPCs in the Nihon civilization region that Yang Rui was most familiar with were naturally Oda Aki and Maeda Matsu, who had appeared in the Nation War reward list.
Back when Yang Rui chose Asano Noune as the reward for the World War, he had done some research on Oda Aki and Maeda Matsuki in his spare time. As a result, his understanding of the two was much deeper than before.
Oda Aki was Oda Nobunaga's younger sister. She was almost universally recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Nihon civilization region. Her popularity and influence in the Nihon civilization region were no less than Diaochan in the Three Kingdoms region.
At this time, Oda Nobunaga's territory was in the Wei Kingdom of Zhang and Sanhe Kingdom. Moreover, in the previous Battle of Barrel Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga's territory suffered a lot of damage and was in the most difficult period.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, if Wako Uesugi sent someone to talk about marriage, there should be a chance of success.
The other person who appeared in the Nation War reward list was Maeda Matsu. She was one of the famous "Three Wives of the Warring States" and was also respectfully called "Fangchun Courtyard".
In the entire Nihon civilization region during the Warring States period, she could be said to be a rare beauty, cheerful, and talkative woman who loved reading, writing, calligraphy, and painting. Maeda Matsu had shown the rare generosity and general demeanor of a woman in a few famous things.
When the Nation War reward list was released, Yang Rui actually hesitated for a long time between Maeda Matsu and Ning Asano. The two "Three Wives of the Warring States" were really comparable. In the end, he chose Ning Asano not because she was much better, but because of a momentary interest.
At this time, Wako Uesugi wanted to choose a wedding candidate. Of course, Yang Rui first recommended Maeda Matsu and Oda Aki to the child.
Because Wako Uesugi had not been materialized in reality at this time, Yang Rui's conversation with him was still blocked by the system. Therefore, when Yang Rui recommended the two, he could only talk about the situation and some rumors about the two.
Otherwise, if Yang Rui directly talked about some things in history, he would definitely be blocked by the system. This was the disadvantage of not being able to materialize Wako Uesugi in the beginning.
However, Wako Uesugi was also obedient. He quickly recorded the two as the candidates to fight for and prepared to mention marriage to the two families first.
In the background of the game, the daimyos in the Nihon civilization area were not much different from the Three Kingdoms area in terms of wives. However, they also paid attention to the distinction between the main wife and the concubine. Only under very special circumstances could there be two main wives.
Therefore, even though the Uesugi children were currently flourishing, it was not an easy matter to propose marriage to all the daimyos at the same time. Of course, the main wife was more attractive. If it was a concubine, the daimyos would want to marry off their daughters or younger sisters. Unless it was a special situation, they would probably have to consider it carefully.
Of course, this still depended on Wako Uesugi's own strength and charm. Yang Rui could not help even if he wanted to. He could only suggest from the side or directly give some names.
Excluding the two suitable candidates, Oda Azuka and Maeda Matsu, and those who were past their prime and married like Saito Nobita and Sanjo, as well as Asai Chacha, Asai Chu, Asai Jiang, Tachibana Nanchiyo, Honda Komatsu, Kafeichi, and Izumo Aguni who were not born yet, Yang Rui also recommended two candidates for Wako Uesugi.
These two candidates, Izumi Naotora and Mochizuki Chiyo, were occasionally screened by Yang Rui after the country war. At this time, regardless of age or background, they were a good match for Wako Uesugi.
Izumi Naotora was almost the only female lord in the Nihon civilization area game background. She was the successor of the Izumi Clan in Yuanjiang Country's Izumi Iya. She was called "female local snake" and was unmarried in history.
Yang Rui also passed by Yuanjiang Country during the country war. Although he didn't pay much attention to Izumi Iya, according to the information he knew, Yang Rui believed that Izumi Naotora should be a worthy candidate.
Mochizuki Chiyo was the daughter of Takeda Shingen's Mochizuki family. She was also a local rich family. She was very famous because Mochizuki Chiyo was a female ninja. In the game background, she was also a powerful historical general.
Therefore, Yang Rui also listed her as one of Wako Uesugi's marriage partners. The child was also very obedient and recorded the names of these two people.
Other than that, the child had to decide on the candidates himself. According to Wako Uesugi's idea, the first choice was the rich families in the current jurisdiction. If they were interested in marriage, they could hand over their daughters and sisters as concubines.
Yang Rui also agreed with this point after it was passed. If the friendship gathering was successful, the current situation in the Uesugi kid's territory would be more stable. From then on, they would be able to have a stable foothold.
Wako Uesugi's other plan was to have a "marriage" with the Uesugi Clan of Fan Valley and Uesugi Clan of Yamanaka!
At this time, Uesugi Sadori and a few other old guys who knew the inside story were dead. Very few people knew that Wako Uesugi was originally the Uesugi Clan's bloodline. Instead, the two Uesugi Clans had been spreading rumors that the child was from the Nagao Clan to weaken the child's influence on the Uesugi Clan.
Of course, this was to neutralize and reduce the influence of Wako Uesugi's rise. Because the two Uesugi Clans had gradually weakened after the civil war, some people in the clan had the idea of letting the child, who was at the peak of his power, take over the two Uesugi Clans.
Wako Uesugi's idea was to use Nagao Anghu's identity to marry some of the Uesugi Clan's "blood relatives". In the end, whether they were used as hostages or for other purposes, on the surface, it would improve the relationship between the two Uesugi Clans.
Yang Rui didn't understand this. He felt that Wako Uesugi was doing a thankless job. She was originally of the Uesugi Clan's bloodline, and now she was marrying some sisters. In Yang Rui's opinion, it wouldn't be of much use.
However, Wako Uesugi was still from the two Uesugi Clans, and by doing this, she could improve the relationship between the two Uesugi Clans. Perhaps she had other considerations that Yang Rui didn't understand, so Yang Rui didn't stop the child from doing so.
Wako Uesugi's wedding preparations were thus settled. Apart from the four candidates Yang Rui mentioned, the rest of the candidates still needed to be found by Wako Uesugi herself. She also needed to go to various families to propose marriage, communicate with the shogunate, and so on.
Yang Rui only stayed in the Nihon Civilization for a little more than a game day. During this time, Yang Rui and Wako Uesugi used the Void Space Shuttle to inspect the child's territory. Because of this, Yang Rui was greatly relieved.
Wako Uesugi was indeed the most powerful person in the Nihon Civilization. Not long after the end of the World War, the child had more or less taken control of the various forces in her territory. Internal stability was no longer a problem.
At the same time, Yang Rui also went to the World War City to check on the trade situation. Under Yang Rui's guidance, the "Tea and Sword" culture that was packaged by large player organizations like Dragon Soul was indeed good. However, it involved new markets and new habits, so the scale of trade was still very small.
Among them, the ones that were better promoted were ceramics. After all, in the game, the Nihon Civilization also respected some of the items in the Three Kingdoms Civilization Region. Moreover, their own production was not enough, which caused the sales of ceramics, especially porcelain, to rise rapidly.
Although the promotion of tea and other products still required a lot of effort, with the marketing concept of Dragon Soul and other player organizations in the real world, it was only a matter of time before the Nihon Civilization Region's market was opened.
Especially with Wako Uesugi, Takeda Nobutaka, and other famous people, it would not be long before that day arrived.
After a game day, Yang Rui once again used the Void Space Shuttle to quickly return to the Three Kingdoms Civilization Region.
At this time, the Nihon Civilization Region's [Daimyo Shang Luo] large-scale system storyline was still very calm. There were still many things in the Three Kingdoms Civilization Region that required Yang Rui to oversee. Naturally, Yang Rui would not stay in the region for long.
Just before Yang Rui returned to the Three Kingdoms Civilization Region's Chen Liu Prefecture City, Yuan Shu's messenger, or rather, Yuan Shu's eunuch, had just been sent away by Guo Jia and Xun You.
Eunuchs, of course, were here to deliver an 'imperial edict'. At this time, Yuan Shu was really acting like Emperor Zhong. Originally, he was just a messenger to deliver a message. Yuan Shu also wrote an imperial edict and sent a small yellow door to deliver it to Chen Liu Prefecture City.
After receiving the news, Yang Rui secretly thought that Yuan Shu's attitude was on point. It was as if Yang Rui and his territory were all under his jurisdiction. His style immediately improved by a level.
In reality, Yuan Shu had come to cede land and pay compensation. The imperial edict he sent was very clear. The general meaning was to congratulate Yang Rui on his wedding again. Yuan Shu was willing to generously take out six counties in Xu Province as a congratulatory gift and hand it over to Yang Rui. He would also give Yang Rui the title of Governor of Xu Province.
Yuan Shu was finally willing to give up the four counties of Pengcheng County, Lu County, Wu County, and Shiqiu County, as well as the two counties of Xiapi County and Xiapi County. According to the imperial edict, on the day of Yang Rui's wedding again, Yang Rui would officially hand over the aforementioned territories to Yang Rui.
At the same time, Yuan Shu paid great attention to the wording. He described ceding and handing over as enfeoffment. Moreover, he learned from the Han Dynasty and gave Yang Rui the title of Governor of Xu Province. It was as if at this time, Emperor Zhong ruled the world.
As for Yuan Shu's sudden imperial edict, two points were clearly reflected in the edict.
First, Yuan Shu used the wording to transfer Zhang Xun, Chen Ji, and Lei Bao, the three generals, as well as the three hundred thousand troops under him. He ordered them to quickly return to Yu Province to report on their duties without any delay.
This was clearly for Yang Rui to release the captives. Moreover, the number he wanted was still three hundred thousand. It was unknown whether Yuan Shu still didn't understand the losses of his troops or whether he wanted to ask for a sky-high price.
Regardless of Yuan Shu's motives, Yang Rui wasn't prepared to pay any attention to him. Originally, Yang Rui had already clearly conveyed the message to Yuan Shu. Handing over the six counties of Xu Province was only a precondition for both sides to negotiate the return of the captives.
At this time, not to mention that Yuan Shu hadn't done anything yet, even if his troops completely evacuated from Xu Province, it would only give him the opportunity to negotiate with Yang Rui. Before reaching an agreement, Yang Rui wouldn't release the captives.
Secondly, Yuan Shu should also have the intention of contending against the Han Emperor. This was a type of disguised competition between the two sides.
A few days ago, the Han Dynasty's little emperor Liu Xie had already issued an imperial edict, granting Yang Rui the title of Xu Province Governor. Later on, he even gave permission for Yang Rui to hold another wedding.
Now, Yuan Shu also issued an imperial edict, clearly intending to resist the Han Dynasty. At the same time, he wanted to show the influence of Emperor Zhong to the various vassals and powers.
On this point, Yang Rui and his powers were clearly the best touchstone.
As long as Yuan Shu issued an imperial edict, regardless of whether Yang Rui approved of it or not, as long as he didn't explicitly oppose it, the influence of Emperor Zhong's imperial edict would be established.
