Wako Uesugi's "marriage incentive" policy did not stop there. On the other hand, it showed the difference in treatment when facing the power of the current family, which was also the most convincing.
In the previous shogunate, Wako Uesugi had a total of 6 wives, namely Uesugi Ayemi, Oda Aki, Maeda Matsu, Ii Naoto, Mochizuki Chiyo, and Yoshino Ikuma.
Among them, there was no need to mention Uesugi Ayemi. She was included in the family in order to ease his relationship with the two Uesugi clans and strengthen the relationship between the two sides. At this time, she already had a son.
There was no need to mention Oda Aki. She was the sister of the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, Oda Nobunaga. However, at present, the main plot was Oda Nobunaga's visit to Luo. Wako Uesugi's conflict with her was inevitable.
On this point, Oda Aki was already doing very well. Although her mood was a little low, she did not show any more. She also expressed to Wako Uesugi that she would stand on his side no matter what.
Of course, some of the content was told to Yang Rui in "child form". Perhaps only in the pillow would one say the deepest words in one's heart, no matter who it was.
Wako Uesugi gave special treatment to Maeda Matsu, the niece of Oda Nobunaga's retainer. Not only did he bury her family's brother, Maeda Toshinaga, who died in the battle before the Keisuke Nobunaga, but he also treated her family generously.
After finally asking for her opinion, Wako Uesugi even rewarded her father, Maeda Toshinaga, and moved the entire Maeda family to Luo Ao. He also gave them a mountain city, which was previously the best home, so that they would have something to rely on in their old age.
Under Uesugi's intentional manipulation, this matter spread very widely, and it had been done this way from the beginning. Now, it had already had a great influence on public opinion.
From this, it could be seen that Wako Uesugi probably had the intention to continue taking in concubines from the very beginning. It was just that the timing did not appear so quickly.
Mochizuki Chiyo was in a similar situation. Although the Mochizuki Clan had many connections with Wako Uesugi and was also one of his subordinates, the Mochizuki Clan was also treated well by Wako Uesugi after the war.
Except for Oda Nobunaga's nephew, Mochizuki Mori (who married into the family), although the other legitimate children have no male children, Wako Uesugi let people treat their families well. Their close relatives were directly sent to Kasugayama Castle where Mochizuki Chiyo lives.
In addition, Wako Uesugi had also taken the initiative to take in all the concubine males of the Wangyue family. As long as they were willing to follow, the child had arranged a corresponding position for them. If it wasn't for Mochizuki Chiyo's relationship, this would be impossible.
Another Ii Naoto's family first followed Imagawa Yoshimoto. After Wako Uesugi destroyed the Imagawa Clan, they had a marriage alliance with the child. However, they also had a close relationship with Tokugawa Ieyasu's forces. Tokugawa Ieyasu was also the main instigator of participating in Shangluo.
Even so, Wako Uesugi also showed enough sincerity. All the males of Ii Naoto's family were exempted from the crime (all of them were concubines), and those who were willing to follow them were accepted.
As for Shiga Yoshino, she was originally snatched by Wako Uesugi. If there was no marriage, Shiga Yoshino would eventually become part of Oda Nobunaga's family after marrying someone else.
According to Yang Rui's recent communication with her, Shiga Yoshino was actually familiar with Oda Nobunaga when she was very young. She also knew that Oda Nobunaga had always coveted her, but Shiga Yoshino felt that she was much older than Oda Nobunaga.
Shiga Yoshino only had her father, who had a good relationship with Oda Nobunaga's family. However, after Shiga Yoshino's marriage was granted, her father had been sent by Wako Uesugi many times in the name of visiting Kasugayama City.
Wako Uesugi's various methods were deliberately spread after he occupied the territories of Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Nobunaga, and other forces to the west of Sekigahara.
Under such circumstances, as long as one had a brain, they would naturally understand Wako Uesugi's intentions. However, because of this, Wako Uesugi's reputation of being a pervert also spread in the Nihon civilization.
This was similar to Yang Rui's reputation in the Three Kingdoms Civilization. Of course, Yang Rui's first two requests for the Han Dynasty's marriage was for the purpose of recruiting all the talents that could be used.
But no matter what the purpose was, Wako Uesugi was actually equivalent to bearing a lot of the reputation of being a pervert for himself. This also made Yang Rui feel guilty and helpless towards Wako Uesugi. What made him helpless was the reason why she wanted to build a happy palace for him in the Nihon civilization.
For this reason, Wako Uesugi also asked Yang Rui to provide a list of people that could be used again. After all, the background of this time and the last time when Wako Uesugi granted him a marriage had been a long time ago, and the background of the characters had changed a lot.
Wako Uesugi had already materialized in the real world. In fact, she herself had put in a lot of effort. This little bit of effort was used during normal times, and Yang Rui did not know about it. However, for the sake of consideration, Wako Uesugi still asked Yang Rui to recommend again.
After doing the same thing once, Yang Rui racked his brains again and finally chose Tachibana Motochiyo, Takeda Matsuhime, Chiyo Gozen, and Toshikazu Tamako.
The four of them were of the new generation. The youngest was probably only four or five years old, and the oldest was only around ten years old.
Chiyo Gozen should be the oldest among them. Yang Rui was estimated to be around fourteen or fifteen years old. She was the daughter of the eighth generation of the Kita family of Ise Country, Kita Tokikyo.
Kita Tokikyo was famous. He was one of the Three Kingdoms Division of the Nihon Warring States. He also had the reputation of being a sword hero. His daughter, Chiyo Gozen, was also a famous figure during the Warring States Period. She was also very loyal.
At this time, Kita Tokikyo and Oda Nobunaga had been in conflict for a long time, but they also restrained each other. In history, after Chiyo Gozen married Oda Nobunaga's son, Oda Nobuo, her family was tortured and killed. Chiyo Gozen also chose to commit suicide.
Yang Rui chose this woman mainly because he wanted to find a true ally for Wako Uesugi. Although Wako Uesugi had the determination and plan to unify the Nihon civilization, it was naturally good to have more allies. When the general trend was irresistible, allies would usually become subordinates.
Toshikazu Tamako should be around seven or eight years old. She was the daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, an important minister of the Saitou family (which was Oda Nobunaga's father-in-law). She was a famous beauty during the Nihon Warring States Period.
The Saitou family was Oda Nobunaga's faction. In Oda Nobunaga's Shangluo plot, they also participated in the Shangluo camp at the last moment. Naturally, the result was obvious.
However, the Saitou family's power was still there. They had also requested to surrender many times. Yang Rui suggested that Wako Uesugi accept their surrender in the name of a political marriage and agree to reduce their strength.
