Prime Minister Bizen

It's just that the Xiu family chose to turn a blind eye to these problems. After all, the Ukita Tadaka family has paid too much for the family. If it hadn't been for the fact that they no longer have a relationship with the head of the family, the Xiu family would definitely seal the Quan family.

After chatting about business matters, Xiujia did not let Zhongjia go down to rest, and this private meeting was far from over.

The Xiu family left the Zhong family to talk about a private matter. He wanted to marry the youngest daughter of the Zhong family, Qian Ji, to the current 13.5 stone daimyo Mori Tadomasa in Mikawa Yoshida City.

Mori Tadomasa was born in the first year of Genji (1570), and he will soon be 21 years old. There is no record of Qian's date of birth in history. year) to deduce the approximate year of birth.

Historically, he got married in 1588. In other words, Qian should have been born around 1573~1575. Even Princess Ji would have married earlier, but if it was later than 1575, it was impossible to marry Takahashi in 1588. Yuan species of marriage.

In this life, Takahashi Yuanzhong was not bestowed with knowledge by Hideyoshi, and the Qiuyue family was completely changed. He took refuge in a distant relative who was not related by blood, and now he is under the tenure of Tachibana Zongshige of 14.6 koku in Chikugo Yanagawa.

Since he is not a daimyo, it is naturally impossible to enter into a marriage contract with Qian again.Leaving aside the name of the Hideo family with a million stones, and the identity of the third person under the account of the Toyotomi family, the Zhixing of the Ukita Kan family alone has 10 stones.

Even if he was a lower rank when he was married as a retainer, he would still have to marry a famous lord with more than 5 shi. If he added the status of the cousin of the Xiu family, he would have to be a famous lord with 10 shi.

In the past, because there was no suitable candidate, the Xiu family has been pressing Qianji's marriage. Seeing that Qianji is about to turn 18, the Quan family is more urgent than the Xiu family!
In the past, the Quan family was the vassal of the Xiu family, so for the political interests of the Yuxi family, they sacrificed a little and suppressed it a little bit.

Now the Quan family is an independent daimyo. Jurisprudentially speaking, the Xiu family is now the Toyotomi family of Kanto, and the Quan family itself is the only family of the Uki family. There is no legal relationship between the two parties!

The Quan family was able to inform the Xiu family about Qianji's affairs during the last meeting in Osaka, which was already a great deal of face to the Xiu family.

At that time, Xiujia also specifically begged the interpreter to give him a few more months to find a suitable match for Qianji, so the interpreter agreed to postpone it for half a year.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and three months will pass. If you are not sure about Qianji's marriage, this political bargaining chip will be gone.

Coincidentally, before Hideka returned from Kyoto, he met Tadomasa Mori who came to Kyoto to congratulate Hideyoshi on the new year. He returned from Kanto in April and arrived in Kyushu in July. Kyushu Feihou is ready to go to Sanhe to seal.

After listening to Mikawa Yoshida in Kyoto, the Nakagawa family did not return to their skills until August, and they returned non-stop after seeing Hideyoshi in September.

Right now, I heard that the Nakagawa family will be in charge of Ou Zaishi's dispatch of troops while relocating, so in order to have a handover with Nakagawa Kiyohide, they travel eastward with the Hide family.

On the way, Xiu's family chatted with him a lot, and when they heard that he was already 20 and hadn't married yet, they immediately expressed that they would marry Qianji to him.

Historically, Mori Tadamasa's wife was Nakagawa Kiyohide's adopted daughter Ozohime, and her stepmother was the adopted daughter of Yamato Toyotomi's family, as well as Chiunin (Ayan), who was also Nakagawa Hidemasa's cousin. It can be said that the relationship with the Nakagawa family has always been very good.

But at this time, Oiwa was engaged to Hashiba Hidecho's son, Koichiro, so he was in Hidecho's mansion in Kyoto. Later, Koichiro died of illness, and Oiwa became Hidecho's adopted daughter.

Don't underestimate her. She is the daughter of Nagoya Inaba Mori Takahisa. The surname of Nagoya was changed after Hideyoshi became Kanbaro. Her original name was Oda Takahisa. She is Oda Nobuhide's nephew. Zhang Pai was born.

Historically, Aiwa remarried Mori Tadamasa as the adopted daughter of the Yamato Toyotomi family in the spring of Bunroku 3rd year (1594), and later became the son of Mori Tadamasa in connection with the Noo forces and the Tokugawa family. important link.

Historically, the Dazangyuan was originally the adopted daughter of the Nakagawa family, the daughter of the retainer Jin Xichunfang.

In this life, the Nakagawa family Kiyohide did not die in Chiyake, and Nakagawa Hidemasa will naturally not urgently need to marry the daimyos around him as in history. Naturally, there is no such story of an adopted daughter in history, so Mori Tadomasa has been single until now.

His relationship with Xia Tian has always been very good. After the Nobi War, Hideyoshi wanted to cede Shinano to Tokugawa, and cut off the 2 counties of Minami Shinano that Morinaga could have controlled without compensation. In the end, Hideyoshi said Under this, 10 shi was given to Higo Takaoka Castle in Kyushu.

After the Battle of Odawara, under Hideya's control, he and Teruma Ikeda transferred the title together, and obtained 13.5 stone collars from Mikawa Yoshida Castle. is very grateful.

At that time, when they heard that the Xiu family intended to marry their cousin Qian to him, they agreed without even thinking about it.

However, Hideka also said that now that Ananjia has become an independent daimyo, and Qianji is already the princess of Sanuki King Ukido, she can only be introduced as a matchmaker, but the final decision depends on Ukita Ananjia.

Of course, Xiujia also said that this matter was because Quanjia asked him to find a partner for Qianji. The purpose was very simple, that he wanted to use the status of Xiujia to find a good family for Qianji.

Now that the Xiu family came forward, the marriage was a sure thing, so he had to prepare the dowry early and wait for his news before going to Sanuki Takamatsu Castle to engage.

There is no problem with Mori Zhongzheng. The Xiu family has not had time to tell the Quan family about it. Now that the Zhong family is in front of him and Qian Ji is his biological daughter, he can naturally leave this matter to him to decide.

Ukita’s family led Sanuki 16 shi. To be honest, it’s really not easy to find a well-matched family with a suitable age.

Shimadzu Tadade's grade is suitable, but he is only an heir, and the relationship between the Shimadzu family and the Hide family is not very close.

The relationship between Changzong's family and the Xiu family is good. Guoqin can even be said to have grown up with Qianji's childhood sweetheart. Unfortunately, Xinqin already has a son, and Guoqin basically has no chance of being the governor of the family.

In addition, now that Changzong's family has just returned to Tosa with 10 shi, Zhixing is not as good as the Quan family, and it is even more impossible to marry his own sister to their retainers.

When the Quan family was still a loving retainer of the Xiu family, maybe they could talk about marriage, but now that the Quan family is a big name, how could it be possible to commit themselves to marry a retainer's family?
Thinking that Mori Tadamasa was the most suitable in the end, no wonder the Ukita Tadamas couldn't help but express their gratitude to Hideka after hearing about it.

"Is Yoshida's attendant really a good match, thank you Your Highness for your kindness."

In fact, the most important reason for Hideyoshi to choose the Mori family is that the Mori family was treated harshly by Hideyoshi and had a brother-killing feud with the Tokugawa family. In theory, they feel alienated from both Hideyoshi and Tokugawa.

And Xiujia was kind to him. In just 6 years, he changed the Mori family from 5 koku originally set by Hideyoshi to 7 koku, and then operated it to 10 koku after Kyushu, and operated it to 13.5 Tōkaidō Sangoku Yoshida after Odawara. Wanshi.

In just 6 years, the Mori family, which was originally only 5 shi, was sealed twice and a half times!How could the Mori family not feel close to the Xiu family.

This is the case in history. Ishida Mitsunari went to Kawanakajima to visit him in person. At that time, everyone felt that the Mori family was promoted from 4 koku to Kawanakajima by Hideyoshi. It must have been greatly favored by the Toyotomi family. Yes, I will definitely stand by the Toyotomi family.

However, he clearly rejected Ishida Mitsunari, and later replied with Tokugawa Ieyasu, "My elder brother died for Hideyoshi in the Battle of Nagakute, but Hideyoshi confiscated my elder brother's family because I was young." Give me the legacy of the four counties of Chuanaka Island.

Ieyasu is just the opposite. It is because of Ieyasu's help that I can obtain the fiefdom of Kawanakajima today.

That kid Ishida actually counted the territory that originally belonged to us as a favor, how can we not make people angry?So I shouldn't be united with you because of emotion and reason. "

Regardless of whether there is any easy-to-write element in this matter, judging from Hideyoshi’s treatment of veterans and comrades-in-arms, and the behavior of finding various reasons to reduce the title after his death, Ishida Mitsunari can’t get friends. Sekigahara’s defeat is really not injustice .

With Mori Zhongzheng Zhuyu in history in front, the Xiu family also manipulated their kindness towards him in this life, and now they even want to marry Qianji over so that they can have a closer relationship.

Many people think that the marriage of the Warring States period should try to find the daimyo of Gao Zhixing, but the Xiu family doesn't think so.

First of all, the marriage between daimyos must go through Hideyoshi, and secondly, daimyos have strong autonomy, and will not be attached to Hideka just because of their marriage with Hideka, or will definitely stand on the same front with Hideka in the future.

You see, Maeda Toshiie's daughter is still one of Hideyori's stepmothers. When did the Maeda family hesitate to sell the Toyotomi family?

In Xiujia's view, the purpose of marrying a daughter is to strengthen the bond between each other. The reality is not a game of "Xinye", and it will not really give you an indefinite alliance.

What can really influence this alliance is the comparison of each other's strengths, as well as the character of this person.

Needless to say, the size of the Xiu family and the Mori family, the Mori family has the motivation to get closer to the Xiu family, and with Mori Tadamasa's character, the Xiu family feels that marrying his younger sister will definitely make the Mori family and himself even closer. close.

Looking back at the current situation of Sanhe daimyo, there are only two people!

The Xiu family's eldest brother-in-law Tsutsui Joji and the soon-to-be transferred Mori Tadomasa and Qian Ji will be the Xiu family's brother-in-law after they marry!
From this point of view, has Sanhe become Xiu's back garden soon?
Besides, the geographical location of Three Rivers is so important!
To the west is Oda Hidenobu of Owari and the leader of the Toyotomi family of Gifu, and to the east is the territory of the Tokugawa family. If Tokugawa Ieyasu wants to go to Luo, he must pass through Mikawa. This is like a wedge, stuck on the only way the Tokugawa family must pass. .

Whether it is Ogasawara Hidetada, Tsutsui Sadaji, or Mori Tadomasa, their initial number of knowledge and practice is more than 20 koku and less than [-] koku. This amount of knowledge and practice is the most appropriate.

A daimyo worth more than 30 shi, or even more absolutely, more than 20 shi, will affect the whole body, and it is actually very difficult to get close to marriage.

With the size and status of the Mori family, when the Xiu family married his younger sister to him, he was already deeply bound to the Xiu family. He had to follow whoever the Xiu family fought in the future, and he had no choice.

The Tsutsui family and the Ogasawara family have higher knowledge and behavior, but this is also what the Hide family fought for, and the Hide family has more or less kindness to them.

The family bond between Tsutsui and the Hide family is weak, Fujihime is only the concubine of the Hide family, and the Ogasawara family has a deeper bond, and the two offset each other more and less, making them the second closest family to the Hide family in the future.

Now that Kyoko is Xiuzhen's remaining eldest son, Xiuzhen has been involved with the Xiu family no matter how she expands her knowledge and behavior, and if she wants to deepen her relationship with the Tsutsui family, she can only rely on the Xiu family and Fujihime to create a human being and give birth to a child. The son said it again.

The Sakuma family can be regarded as giving the Xiu family a chance to survive, and it has even restored it to the status of a 10 stone Zhunguo holding daimyo. The Xiu family's kindness to them is the third closest family.

Other families such as Ikeda, Nakagawa, Tachibana, and Anton can only be regarded as being better with the Hide family, and they are bound by interests with the Hide family. When the Hide family is superior, there is definitely nothing to say, but once the Hide family falls into a disadvantage, they will still be able to deal with it. There is no way to say that on the other side.
