Saito, so Nobunaga is attacking his wife's clan. Saito Tatsuoki is his wife's nephew. So this is year 1564?
@Serkket Honda Tadakatsu doesn't have a chance anyway since he is a retainer of Tokugawa, Nobunaga won't let Shizuko falling into the hand of another Daimyo.
@criver Yes it is stupid, but you have to understand that medical knowledge back then can not compare to our modern day knowledge. If you lived back then you probably would have been part of the majority that believed praying could cure the flu.
Unless you were some genius that pushed forward the advancement of health care.
@criver Historically in Japan infant mortality from the common cold was exceedingly high in the upper classes compared to the lower classes because they THOUGHT they knew how best to treat the common cold compared to peasants who actually COULD treat it. It's a case of educated doctors making things horribly worse for their patients. The imperial family famously lost many of their children to common ailments thanks to this.
