After arriving at the Wilderness Shrine, Stephen saw three children of seven or eight years old playing under the torii.

The three children, based on Oda Nobunaga’s memory, Stephen knew, they were Matsudaira Takechiyo, Hiraiwa Nananosuke, and Abe Toku Chiyo.

Matsudaira Takechiyo is the eldest of the three, and the remaining two are all Matsudaira’s retainers.

In this era, having a family retainer at least shows that the family is very powerful, and ordinary samurai, to put it bluntly, are only the city lords of various cities, or the thugs of the royal families of the island countries, and there is no particularly big force.

Even if they wanted to, the economic conditions were not enough for ordinary samurai to raise so many retainers.

Matsudaira Takechiyo three, when Stephen held a wedding with Nokihime at Aragami Shrine before, he saw them in the corner, but at that time, Matsudaira Takechiyo and the three did not dare to stand out on that occasion, just hid in the corner to secretly watch, and did not go up to talk.

In fact, the original Oda Nobunaga and Matsudaira Takechiyo had a good relationship.

Matsudaira Takechiyo is not from Owari, he is a native of Mikawa Country, and his father is “Matsudaira Hirotada” lord of “Okazaki Castle” in Mikawa Country

The Matsudaira family is considered to be an old aristocracy in Mikawa Country, and has always been the owner of the two castles of Anxiang Castle and Okazaki Castle.

Generations have been honestly staying in Sanhe and sticking to the family business.

Until the arrival of the Warring States chaos, the Matsudaira family did not have the mind to participate in the hegemony, and still wanted to guard his acre and three points of land.

It’s just that in such a troubled world, many things are not what they want?

Imagawa Yoshimoto of Suruga coveted Mikawa and launched an invasion of Mikawa.

After symbolically resisting for a while, the Matsudaira family surrendered directly knowing that they could not be defeated.

When Imagawa Yoshimoto saw that the Matsudaira family was so honest, he did not confiscate their fiefdoms and let them continue to own Anxiang Castle and Okazaki Castle.

This is also for the other city lords of the Three Rivers Country, that is, to tell them that as long as they surrender honestly, your thing is still yours, as long as you listen to me, you will only get my protection.

As a result, Oda Nobuhide later sprang up and also attacked Mikawa, and without saying a word, directly annexed the Anxiang castle of the Matsudaira family.

The Matsudaira family had already defected to Imagawa Yoshimoto and sought his refuge.

Imagawa Yoshimoto agreed to send troops, but the soldiers were likely to represent losses, and Imagawa Yoshimoto, in order to ensure the absolute loyalty of the Matsudaira family, let him go east and west in the future, let him hand over grain or send people to allocate it for himself, he could not shirk, so he let Matsudaira Hirotada, and let his heir, Suruga Country, sent by his sister-in-law “Matsudaira Takechiyo”, become Imagawa Yoshimoto’s hostage.

This practice was done by the daimyos of each guardian country or the lords of the castle during the Sengoku period in the island country.

Matsudaira Takechiyo was originally unexpected, but Oda Nobuhide’s men were constantly attacking Okazaki Castle, and they couldn’t hold it, and they couldn’t surrender.

Because Oda Nobuhide is very domineering, after surrendering, the position of the city lord must be controlled by his own people, as for the Matsudaira family to retain his samurai status, but the status of the city lord cannot be done, unless he can make merit for the Oda family in the future, Oda Nobuhide will be able to re-give her the position of the lord according to the reward he deserves.

Matsudaira Hirotaka, unable to accept such a surrender condition, could not accept the situation that he had nothing and struggled again, so he flatly refused, and firmly joined the camp on Imagawa Yoshimoto’s side, honestly handing over his son as a hostage in exchange for Imagawa Yoshimoto’s reinforcements.

But what people didn’t expect was that halfway through, the lord of Tahara Castle in Mikawa Country, the Toda family, intends to defect to the powerful Oda Nobuhide, it is very optimistic, Oda Nobuhide, and Tahara Castle is also relatively close to Anxiang City, the people of the Toda family are worried that Oda Nobuhiro will send people to attack him, the people of the Toda family do not think that they can hold it, instead of this, it is better to surrender in advance in exchange for maximizing benefits.

However, the Toda family is also worried that they will not have their current status after defecting to the past.

So after learning that Matsudaira Hirotada of Okazaki Castle was going to send his son to Imagawa Yoshigena as a hostage, the people of the Toda family felt that the opportunity had come.

When they surrendered.

As long as they catch Matsudaira Hirotaka’s concubine and give it to the Oda family, the Oda family will definitely be overjoyed, which can be regarded as a merit, and they can keep the Toda family to continue to serve as the lord of Tahara Castle.

And after Tahara Castle became a side of the Oda family, there was no need to worry about the attack of other forces, which was simply the best of both worlds.

So, Matsudaira Takechiyo, along with his two retainers, was caught.

Of course, in addition to this, there are some guards and horsemen who are rushing to the car.

After Oda Nobuhiro learned the news, he immediately told Oda Nobuhide the news, and Oda Nobuhide was very happy, he released those unrelated personnel who had no use value, and asked them to return to Okazaki Castle and tell Matsudaira Hirotada to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise he would attack his son.

Only Matsudaira Takechiyo and his two retainers, the original Oda Nobunaga also met Matsudaira Takechiyo at this time, Matsudaira Takechiyo was fat, fat and cute, he was only six years old when he was arrested, and Oda Nobunaga was already 14.

Matsudaira Takechiyo, who does not understand anything, does not know the glorious history of Oda Nobunaga, and on this premise, he plays better with Oda Nobunaga.

Matsudaira Hirotada thought that he surrendered now, and there was no benefit to the Matsudaira family, Okazaki Castle would be lost in his hands, feeling so sorry for the ancestors and the ancestors, feeling that delaying the big thing for the sake of their children’s private affairs was really not an act done by a hero, and if you want to become a hero, you can’t be troubled by your children’s private affairs, so he ruthlessly refused Oda Nobuhide’s request.

Oda Nobuhide was very angry and wanted to cut Matsudaira Takechiyo and his two retainers on the spot.

After Oda Nobunaga found out, she saved Matsudaira Takechiyo because she felt that Matsudaira Takechiyo was Owari, the only person who adored her.

Instead of criticizing and teaching yourself like everyone else.

Nanosuke Hiraiwa and Chiyo Abe were also from Mikawa Country, and their father was, and always was, a retainer of the Matsudaira family.

“Nobunaga Gongko, you are here.” Matsudaira Takechiyo was the first to see Stephen, and he ran towards Stephen. _
