During the years-long war with Kaga Isusune, Sasa Naruma gradually gained a foothold on the northern road and expanded his territory step by step. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

First of all, it was to make use of the advantages of commercial trade to conclude a peace agreement with the Hatakeyama family to ensure the safety of the north.

Secondly, the Eima family, which overthrew the northern Hida, united with the Yuncheng ** Island family and controlled the northern part of Hida country.

Finally, he concluded an alliance with the Echizen Asakura family to fight together against Kaga Itsunamune. To Sasa Seimasa's relief, the Echizen military god Asakura Sotsu unexpectedly lived a long life, and he was still alive and well until the seventh year of Eiroku. If it weren't for the fact that Asakura Sodra was able to dispel public opinion in the Asakura family and actively promote the "Liangyue Alliance", it would have taken more energy to conquer the Kaga Buddha Kingdom.

During the long war, several officials on the side of Honganji were killed in battle, and among them, Shimoma Yoriren, who had high hopes for the Hoji Honganji Temple, was captured by the Sasa army.

Captured along with Shimoma Yoriren were the leaders of the Saga clan, Shigehide Suzuki and Tsuda Aricho.

Not only was he captured, but just a few months later, Shimoma Yoriren and Suzuki Shigehide actually "betrayed" their faith and became the minions of Sasa's army.

The Honganji side racked their brains, but they could not find the reason for Shimoma's betrayal.

But soon after, Sasa Narumasa began to vigorously promote "Protestantism".

The so-called Protestantism is, of course, not a completely new sect, but a "new Buddhism"!

Protestantism still believes in the gods and Buddhas, but it is very inclusive.

According to the priest, all the gods and Buddhas are the embodiment of the god of a thousand faces. Whether it is Nyorai, Guanyin, or Bishamontian, Wei Daotian, or Zeus, Athena, Moses, and Jesus, they are all the incarnations of the God of a Thousand Faces.

Or - "faces"!

For different believers, the God of a Thousand Faces always has a different face, because God is omnipotent and omniscient.

The All-Knowing and Almighty Lord incarnates in a way that believers can see, even if he becomes an idol, out of protection for believers.

Under this doctrine, there is no need to change even the faithful of the past.

As a result, Protestantism spread rapidly in Echichu and Kita-Hida, and when Sasa's army invaded Kaga, the local believers no longer had the same fierce resistance as before.

At this time, the abbots and priests of Protestantism, large and small, gathered almost all the believers of Yuechu and held a ceremony of "Annihilation in All Directions" in Toyama Castle!

Annihilation of all directions - this is usually the name of a martial art, but at this time, it becomes the ten gods canonized by Protestantism!

The ten gods are "one king, two phases, three generals, and four guns", collectively known as "the destruction of all ten directions"!

The king of heaven, Emperor Shakti, is the guardian of Yuezhong, the governor of the Zuo family, and the governor of Zuo Zuo.

Zuo Xiang is the most trusted military advisor and arm of the Heavenly King, but his identity is not disclosed.

Right phase - the originator of Echigo-ryu military law, Usami is full, resourceful, old and strong.

Conspiracy - Kamishu Yellow Spot, former governor of the Nagano family, Nagano Yemasa.

Demon Shogun - one of the Protestant priests, the former official of Honganji Temple, Shimoma Yoriyo.

Holy Shogun - one of the Protestant priests, the former leader of the Saga clan, Shigehide Suzuki.

Zhu Gun - the first warrior in Sasa's family, Keiji Maeda.

Ghost Gun - Yuan Cong's minister, Minong's red ghost, Sen Kecheng.

The Spear of Women - the lord of Kanto Nitta Kanayama Castle, the head of the "Women's Knights", Teruko Akai.

Tiger Spear - The legal lord of Toe Iiya, the governor of the Ii family, and also the concubine of Sasa Naimasa, Ii Naotohu.

The canonization of "Annihilation in All Directions" greatly boosted the morale of the Zuozuo clan, and at the same time, it also made the general public worship more than three points when they looked at these ten gods.

However, the unresolved identity of the left minister in "Annihilation of the Ten Directions" became the biggest source of secrets and gossip that year.

Countless people discussed in the secret room, in the hall, and after tea and dinner, who this mysterious "left minister" was!

It wasn't until two years later, when Sasa Naruma defeated Ichishomune and the Hatakeyama family and became a daimyo who crossed the four provinces of Chuka, Kaga, Noto, and Hida, that the mysterious "Left Minister" appeared for the first time.

She appeared at the celebration banquet, and to everyone's surprise, it turned out to be a woman!

She's a woman, and a 100 percent woman.

"Zuo Xiang" is tall, delicate, and has brown hair and blue eyes that are different from those of Dongying.

Her name is Alice? Victoria], who claims to be the daughter of a foreign queen.

In addition to the world-famous "Ten Directions Annihilated", the seven commissioners of the Sasa family were also commended one after another, and in the future, they were collectively known as the "Seven Prime Ministers of Hokuriku", the seven people are:

Since the time of the Sasa family in Kira Castle, he has been following the minister of Motoko under the influence of Narumasa - Murai Sadakatsu.

Awarded the status of a samurai by Sasa Naimasa himself.,A diligent and studious young man - Kinoshita Hidenaga.。
