Chapter 936: Ningxia Bijia
With the status of Wang Tongding, the commander of Beihou and Jinyiwei, and the status of Emperor Wanli's No. 1 confidant, what exactly does he need to do in person. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Since July, Jinyiwei, who was stationed in Shaanxi, has repeatedly reported in secret that Ningxia's deputy commander-in-chief Bi Cheng'en had bad intentions, and almost at the same time, Ningxia Governor Dang Xin was also a secret commander in Beijing, saying that the deputy commander-in-chief Bi Cheng'en was rampant and had colluded with many Taokou.
Ningxia is one of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, adjacent to the westernmost town of Gansu, on the edge of the Hetao area, the so-called Taokou, that is, the ancient tribe of Meng who operated in the Hetao area.
Since the Orthodox year, the Ming Dynasty's forces in the west have gradually withdrawn from the Hetao, and they are in a defensive posture, and the various tribes of the Meng Gu are active there.
Bi Chengen, this "Bi" surname is not a Han surname, but a Meng clan, and the people who are most familiar with border affairs must be the Han people in the border areas and the ethnic groups on the grassland.
The men g clan occupied China in the gate g yuan time, after the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Tartars, there were also a lot of men g clan left, and the communication between the men g clan and the Ming Dynasty was very smooth, not like other ethnic groups are completely incompatible, many sinicized or friendly Ming tribes and chiefs often have refuge, in the Ming Dynasty as officials, which are the most military and border towns.
The men g people are a little more barbaric than the Han people, and this barbarism on the battlefield is often a representative of bravery and combat power, and they are originally born on the grassland, fighting in border towns, and they are more familiar with the convenience of geographical advantages, so the men g Guhao chieftains are officials in the Ming Dynasty, and they can often achieve a very high position.
Bi Chengen's power in Ningxia Town is very great, although he is a deputy general, but the general soldier can not do anything, everything has to be questioned about him, the reason is very simple, the governor and the general soldier's personal soldiers add up to only 1,500 yuan, and Bi Chengen's subordinates are more than 2,300 people, all of whom are elites who can fight well.
This is only under Bi Chengen, and there are also large and small northwest tyrants attached to the Bi family, these local tyrants have all of them, and these people are mobilized, and they are also a considerable force.
Moreover, the various tribes on the grassland here are naturally willing to deal with the men and the people, and are unwilling to deal with the Han generals, and Zhang Weizhong, the general soldier of Ningxia, has no voice when he speaks in Ningxia Town, and outsiders only know General Bi, not Zhang Dashuai.
With such a force, the Bijia family has its own tribe on the grassland, and it is the exclusive benefit of border trade, and nearly two-thirds of the salt in Huamachi and other places in the west is under the control of the Bijia family, which means that his family also controls the salt administration in Ningxia, and imports the pond salt to the inland of Shaanxi, which is very profitable.
With soldiers in his hands, financial resources, and extensive travel, such arrogance is inevitable, Bi Chengen is only thirty-five years old this year, and he can reach such a position, but not because of how brave he is, but because of his father's worship.
Bibai was Jiajing 33 years ago to join the Ming Dynasty, relying on military exploits step by step to the position of guerrilla general, at the age of 56 with the rank of deputy chief soldier, and then passed the official position to his son Bi Chengen.
Ningxia and Gansu are regarded as the western frontiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the various ethnic groups are mixed, and the rules are not as good as those border towns in the east, and the generals of the Meng clan are often very tolerant and lenient.
Although Bibai is old, he is a native of Ningxia, and he has served in the army for many years, and the generals of Ningxia Town are his juniors, and even the chief soldier Zhang Weizhong can't raise his head in front of him, so he should be polite.
With such a superposition of all aspects, the Bijia family can already be called a monopoly in Ningxia Town, he is a deputy chief soldier monopoly, Ningxia chief soldier and Ningxia governor put there, there is no oil and water, and they will be bullied, naturally full of contradictions, it is conceivable that there will be nothing good to say in the Shangshu Mi Song.
If it is just the complaints of the governor and the chief soldier or even the eunuchs of the supervising army, no one in the court will take it seriously, and the civil and military are controlled and balanced, which is exactly the situation that the court wants to see.
Moreover, there are no bad words on the side of the governor of Shaanxi, the arrogance of the Bi family is arrogant, and the filial piety to everywhere has never been less, and everything that should be dealt with is dotted.
At best, this kind of thing is just pickled in officialdom, just chatting and laughing, and alarming a Jinyi guard to command it, but it is absolutely unnecessary, for Jinyi Wei, even if it is to send a thousand households from the capital, it is redundant.
However, the news that Wang Tong received was not like this......
Everything is connected, there is a cause and effect, after Wang Tong laid down the Naturalization City, the power pattern on the grassland, and even the mentality of various ethnic groups on the grassland have changed greatly.
The direction facing Ningxia Town is the Hetao area, and when the Altan Department dominates the grassland, the main enemy of Ningxia Town's defense is the forces under the command of Alta.
The Ida tribe is dominant on the grassland, in fact, the other tribes that are also the ancient tribes of the gate may not be willing, how happy it is to become a family, why bother to work for the Ida family under the roof of others?
It is precisely because of this mentality that Bibai and Bi Chengen are like fish in water on the grassland of Ningxia Town, with all kinds of assistance, and several large tribes with considerable scale are privately allied with the Bi family.
The Ministry of Answers was also unwilling to remain in a state of battle with the Ming Dynasty from time to time, and he also restrained his subordinates not to get too close to the side wall of the Ming Dynasty.
This is actually an opportunity for the Ningxia Bijia and some tribes to exploit loopholes, the Ming Dynasty is afraid that the Ministry of Answering will not dare to go out of the fortress, and the Ministry of Answering will not get close to the border wall for trade and peace negotiations, and as a result, the fertile river set outside the border wall of Ningxia has become the sphere of influence of the Bijia family.
The Bijia imported livestock and special products from the grassland to the interior, and then imported the goods of the Ming Dynasty to the grassland, and made a fortune in it, and even the Ministry of Answering had to buy it here.
When there is a police at the border, the Bijia family can often get the news reported on the grassland as soon as possible, and they will send soldiers and horses to respond to the story, and the other party will also retreat with a lot of face, and even let some small tribes that don't matter be killed and annexed by the Bijia family, so as to complete the military merits of the Bijia family.
In such a situation, the power of the Bi family is naturally getting bigger and bigger, and the position of the Bi family is getting higher and higher.
And the nearly 3,000 Ding soldiers of the Bi family are indeed not scaring people, because they are mostly of the G clan, and the cost of raising them is much cheaper than feeding the Han soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the courage is not bad.
Bibai and Bi Chengen have repeatedly led the cavalry of the guards and the cavalry of the Ministry of Answers in the field, there are mutual casualties, although there is no big victory, but there is a head to bring back, and do not fall behind, to do such a degree, it is already a great achievement in the Ming border generals, Gansu, Yansui, Yulin, Guyuan, Datong several border towns, no one dares to go out.
However, all of this completely changed after Wang Tong led the troops to defeat the Naturalization City, and the Ministry of Answering gathered tens of thousands of cavalry to fight with Wang Tong's army, and the result was that it was completely annihilated, and the Naturalization City was almost washed, and no one thought that the power that dominated the grassland in less than a month would be so wiped out.
The reaction of the Ningxia town Bijia was to send troops out to enclose the land, occupying a lot of territory in the Hetao area, during this time, the power of the Bijia family was more prosperous, but the moon lasted until this time.
The process of the formation and growth of the Naturalized City Merchant Group is the process of burning, killing and looting by the Naturalized City Merchant Group in the vast area west of the Naturalized City.
If you can beat it yourself, you will beat it down by yourself, and if you can't beat it yourself, you will put on a hat of "I answer the remnants" and return to Huacheng to ask for help.
The power of the Bijia family has suffered heavy losses in the land of the Hetao, and they can't make a statement about their partial survival, because in the era of the existence of the Ida tribe, these tribes were all stocked on the grassland by the Bijia as "enemies".
Not to mention the armed merchant groups in Guihua City, the local wealthy clans in the Shaanxi and Gansu areas and the various forces in the border towns and Jiangmen are all out of the enclosure, and they were originally afraid of the Tartars like tigers.
And they are also familiar with the terrain, and they also know how to make a fortune, in the past, the exclusive profits of the Bijia family were taken away little by little, the salt pond was occupied, the border trade was squeezed, your Bijia is in Ningxia Town, and what is it in Shaanxi, is it comparable to the King of Qin, is it comparable to the Governor of Shaanxi, everyone wants to get rich, you are an attached general, or stand aside!
The scene of the Bi family collapsed little by little, and it turned out that many tribes attached to the Bi family went to Guihua City to find a trading house, or they would find a more powerful refuge in Shaanxi.
has always been a force that has been going up step by step, and all of a sudden, how can the Bi family endure it, and naturally all kinds of resentment arise in their hearts.
If it was only his family, the various tribes of the partial Hetao, such as the largest tribe such as Huoluochi, and the local tyrant generals in Ningxia and Gansu, were all wiped out in the Alta Division, and the naturalized merchant groups were damaged in the trend of wanton expansion on the grassland, and they would not be able to benefit from this trend.
Needless to say, Huoluochi had too much blood debt on his hands, and even when he started to walk the grassland with the naturalized caravan, they thought that they had come to the fat sheep and wanted to bite a few bites, but they swore to be incompatible with the naturalized merchant group, and Huoluochi was also a big tribe of more than 10,000 people, and the naturalized merchant group and the wealthy families in Shaanxi and Gansu were all keeping an eye on it.
The local tyrant generals in Ningxia and Gansu, most of the situation is similar to the Bijia family, all of them are taking advantage of the situation between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and now the situation has changed greatly, and their advantages of being familiar with the local area and outside the Sai Dynasty have disappeared all of a sudden, and they naturally began to go downhill.
Everyone has grievances and dissatisfaction, and this Ningxia Bijia is the first-class local tyrant in the northwest, and everyone is naturally headed by him, forming a group full of grievances.
This group hated the naturalized merchant group, hated the wealthy of Shaanxi, Gansu, Gaomen, and even hated the Han people and the Ming Dynasty......
