Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 937
With the status of Wang Tongding Beihou, the commander of Jinyiwei, and the No. [-] confidant of Emperor Wanli, what matters should he personally handle.

Since July, the Jinyiwei stationed in Shaanxi has repeatedly reported that the deputy commander-in-chief of Ningxia, Chengen, had misbehavior. Illegal, there are many collusion with taokou.

Ningxia is one of the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty, adjacent to Gansu Town in the west, and on the edge of the Hetao area. The so-called Taokou refers to the Mongolian tribes operating in the Hetao area.

Since the orthodox year, the forces of the Ming Dynasty in the west have been gradually withdrawn from the Hetao, and they are in a defensive posture, where the various tribes of Mongolia are active.

Chengen, this "哱" surname is not the surname of the Han people, but the Mongolian people. The people who are most familiar with border affairs must be the Han people in the border areas and the ethnic groups on the grasslands.

The Mongols occupied China during the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties. After Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Tartars, many Mongolians stayed behind. Moreover, the communication between the Mongols and Ming was very smooth, not like other ethnic groups. The tribes and chiefs of many people often take refuge and serve as officials in Daming, among which the military circles and border towns have the most.

The Mongols are a bit more barbaric than the Han people. On the battlefield, this barbarism is often the representative of bravery and combat power. Moreover, they were originally born on the grasslands. They fought in border towns, and it was more convenient to be familiar with the geographical location. Being an official can often achieve a very high position.

Qiao Cheng'en has great influence in Ningxia Town. Although he is the deputy general, the commander-in-chief can't do much. He has to be questioned for everything. The reason is very simple. Yu, and there are more than [-] under Qi Chengen's men, all of whom are elites capable of recruiting and fighting.

This is only under the subordinates of Cheng'en, and there are local tyrants in the northwest, large and small, who are attached to the Qian family.

What's more, the various tribes on the grassland here are naturally willing to deal with the Mongols rather than the Han generals. Zhang Weizhong, the general of Ningxia, has no voice to speak in Ningxia Town. Outsiders only know General Qi, not Marshal Zhang.

With such a force, the Qi family already had its own tribe on the grassland, and it was even more exclusive to the border trade. Nearly two-thirds of the salt in Huamachi and other places in the west were under the control of the Qi family, which was equivalent to It was his family who also controlled the salt administration in Ningxia, and even imported pond salt to the inland of Shaanxi, which made great profits.

With a soldier in his hand, a wealth of money, and a wide range of friends, such arrogance is inevitable. Chengen is only 35 years old this year. He has reached such a position not because of how brave he is, but because of his father.

Xiaobai defected to Daming in the 33rd year of Jiajing, relied on military exploits to reach the position of guerrilla general step by step, and became an official at the age of 56 with the title of deputy commander in chief, and then passed on the position to his son Chengen.

Ningxia and Gansu can be regarded as the western frontiers of the Ming Dynasty, where various ethnic groups lived together, and the rules were not as good as those in the eastern border towns, and they often treated the generals of the Mongolian nationality very tolerantly.

Although Xiaobai is old, he is a native of Ningxia and has served in the army for many years. All the generals in Ningxia town are his juniors. Even Zhang Weizhong, the commander-in-chief, can't hold his head up in front of him, so he needs to be polite. gas.

With so many aspects superimposed, the Xiao family can already be called a monopoly in Ningxia Town. He is a deputy chief soldier who dominates the autocracy, and the Ningxia chief soldier and Ningxia governor are sent there. It is conceivable that there will not be any good things to say in the Shangshu Mizuo.

If it was just the complaints of the governor, the chief soldier, or even the eunuchs who supervised the army, no one in the court would take it seriously. The civil and military systems were balanced, and this was exactly what the court wanted to see.

Moreover, there is nothing bad to say about the three governors of Shaanxi.

This kind of thing can be said to be dirty in the officialdom at best, and it is nothing more than a small talk and a laugh. It is absolutely unnecessary to alert a Jinyiwei to command an envoy. For Jinyiwei, even sending a thousand households from Beijing is superfluous.

But the news Wang Tong received was not like this.
**************
Everything is connected, and there are causes and effects. After Wang Tong conquered Guihua City, the power structure on the grassland, and even the mentality of the various ethnic groups on the grassland have changed a lot.

Ningxia Town is facing the Hetao area. When the Alta tribe dominated the grassland, the main enemy of Ningxia Town's defense was the various forces under Alda's command.

The Alta tribe is the only one on the grassland. In fact, the other tribes who are also Mongolian tribes may not be willing. How happy it is to be a family on its own. Why do you have to work for the Alta family under the eaves of others?

It is precisely because of this mentality that both Baibai and Chengen are at home in the grasslands of Ningxia Town, and they have all kinds of assistance. Several large tribes with a large scale have formed private alliances with them.

The Alda Department was also unwilling to keep fighting with Ming Dynasty all the time, and he also restrained his subordinates not to get too close to the Ming Dynasty's side wall.

This is actually an opportunity for the Ningxia family and some tribes to take advantage of the loopholes. Daming was afraid that the Alta tribe would not go out of the fortress, and the Alta tribe would not go close to the side wall for trade and peace negotiations. family's sphere of influence.

The Qi family imported livestock and special products from the grassland to the inland, and then imported goods from the Ming Dynasty to the grassland, where they made a fortune, and even the Ida Ministry bought here.

When there is police at the border, the Xiao family can often get the news from the grassland at the first time. They will send troops to respond to the story, and the other party will retreat very face-saving, and even let some unimportant small tribes be killed and annexed by the Xiao family. , Complete the military exploits of the Qi family.

Under such circumstances, the power of the Xiao family will naturally become stronger and stronger, and the position of the Xiao family will also become higher and higher.

Moreover, the nearly [-] soldiers of the Ding family of the Qi family were indeed not to scare people, because most of them were Mongolians, and the cost of raising them was much cheaper than supporting the Han soldiers of Ming Dynasty, and their bravery was not bad.

Both Qiangbai and Qiangchengen led the cavalry of the guards and Alda's cavalry in field battles many times, causing casualties. It was already a great achievement among the frontier generals of the Ming Dynasty. No one dared to go out in the border towns of Gansu, Yansui, Yulin, Guyuan, and Datong.

However, all of this changed completely after Wang Tong led the troops to defeat Guihua City. My Dabu gathered tens of thousands of cavalry to fight with Wang Tong's army. The result was that they were completely wiped out, and Guihua City was almost wiped out. After reading it all over again, no one would have thought that the power to dominate the grasslands of thousands of miles would be wiped out in less than a month.

The forces of the Anda Department were wiped out, and all the border towns reacted in amazement. The response of the Ningxia Zhenjiao family was to send troops out to enclose land, occupying a lot of territory in the Hetao area. The power is more prosperous, but the honeymoon will last until then.

The formation and growth process of the Guihua City Merchant Group is the process of burning, killing, and looting by the armed forces of the Guihua City Merchant Group in the vast area west of Guihua City. Tribes, these tribes are pieces of fat in the eyes of the naturalized business group.

Those who can be defeated by themselves will be defeated by themselves, and those who cannot be defeated by themselves will be labeled as "I Da Remnant", and return to Huacheng to ask for help.

The forces of the Qi family suffered heavy losses in the land of Hetao, and they can’t say anything about it, because in the era when the Alta tribe existed, these tribes were all regarded as "enemies" by the Qi family and raised on the grassland. If you use this loss to make a fuss, there must be one He was charged with colluding with the enemy.

Not to mention the armed forces of the merchant groups in Guihua City, the local powerful clans and generals in the border towns in the Shaanxi-Gansu area are all out of the fortress enclosure. They used to be afraid of the Tartars like tigers. Relying on more wins.

Moreover, they are also familiar with the terrain, and know how to make a fortune. In the past, all kinds of benefits that were exclusive to the family were taken away bit by bit. The Yanchi was taken away, and the border trade was squeezed by others. Your family has a big town in Ningxia. , What is it in Shaanxi, can it be compared to the King of Qin, can it be compared to the governor of Shaanxi, everyone wants to get rich, you, a general attached to you, you should stand aside!

The situation in the Kui family gradually collapsed. It turned out that many tribes attached to the Kui family went to Guihua City to find a business firm, or to find a more powerful refuge in Shaanxi.

It has always been a force that has been moving upwards step by step, but suddenly it has come to this, how can the Xiao family bear it, and naturally there are all kinds of resentment in their hearts.

If only he and his family were the only ones, all the tribes that were born in the Hetao, such as the largest tribes such as Huoluochi, the local tyrants and generals in Ningxia and Gansu, were all wiped out in the Alta tribe, and the naturalized merchant groups wantonly expanded on the grassland. Damaged by the trend, they have no way to benefit from this trend.

Needless to say, Huo Luochi had too much blood from Daming on his hands, even when the naturalized caravans were walking on the grassland, they thought they had a fat sheep coming and wanted to eat a few bites, but they made a fuss with the naturalized merchants. The regiment swore not to be at odds with each other, and Huoluochi was also a large tribe with over [-] people, the naturalized business group and the Shaangan giants all kept a close eye on it.

Most of the local tyrants in Ningxia and Gansu are in the same situation as the Qi family, and they all take advantage of the situation between Daming and Alda. It started to go downhill.

Everyone has resentment and dissatisfaction, and this Ningxia family is the number one local tyrant in the Northwest. Naturally, everyone is headed by him, forming a group full of resentment.

This group hates the naturalized business group, hates the rich and noble families in Shaanxi, Gansu, and even the Han people, and hates Ming Dynasty
