Chapter 138 Battle of Ningxia
"Okay, let's get down to business, let's talk about the specific process of the Ningxia Battle."

"It is said that in the 17th year of Wanli, Xiaobai has been promoted to the position of deputy commander in Ningxia. This position is already quite powerful, equivalent to the second in command in Ningxia."

"That's the year when Xibai became an official, that is to say, he resigned. His son, named Chengen, inherited his title."

"In the 19th year of Wanli, a tribe called Huoluochi entangled other tribes and led troops to attack Taohe. The defenders of Taohe couldn't stand it, so they asked the province for support."

"At that time, Taohe River was in emergency, and the province had not yet discussed a countermeasure. At this moment, Qiao Bai, who had been out of office for two years, stood up and said, let me lead troops to support it!"

"Hey, the provincial government was worrying about this at the time. Since Xiaobai himself stood up, let him go!"

"So Qibai brought [-] soldiers and horses to support Taohe at that time. When he arrived in Jincheng, he happened to meet all kinds of soldiers and horses who were going to Taohe to support Taohe. They were all willing to obey Qibai's command."

"It's not too late. With so many support forces, Qiaobai also quickly led troops to Taohe for support, and quickly defeated the hostile tribe."

"When we were in class from Taohe, Qiaobai deliberately retreated from the periphery of Taohe River to frighten the enemy tribes. He said that the enemy saw Qibai, so he fled away!"

"It was also at this time that Xiaobai came up with an idea, what kind of idea? Well... he just looked down on those tribes. Not only that, he even ignored the court."

"Over time, Xiaobai's behavior of ignoring the court was discovered by Dang Xin, then governor of Ningxia."

"If you want to say that Dang Xin is also a ruthless person, she wrote an impeachment memorial without saying a word, fabricated a random charge, and sent someone to the capital."

"It didn't take long, hey, Dang Xin's real-name report was discovered by Qiao Bai, because at that time the memorial had already been sent to the court, and it was too late to stop it."

"Then how did Qianbai do it? Let's talk about that time! On February 20th, [-]th year of Wanli, Qianbai called his son, adopted son Xiaoyun, and a man named Tu Wenxiu, and rebelled. "

"When the rebellion started, hey, there was another person who heard the news and followed suit. Who is it, a deputy envoy named Liu Dongyang!"

"This Liu Dongyang is also a ruthless man! After raising troops, he quickly went to the governor's office, and directly killed Dang Xin, who was the governor of Ningxia at the time, and Shi Jifang, the deputy envoy."

"That's not all. After killing Dang Xin and Shi Jifang, Liu Dongyang also ordered the governor's office to be burned down, and also ordered the release of the prisoners in the prison to enrich his own strength."

"It didn't take long before Qianbai also led people to kill them. When the two armies met, they went directly to the general's office and killed them. Soon, Zhang Weizhong, who was then the general of Ningxia, was arrested."

"After Zhang Weizhong was captured, Liu Dongyang forced him to write a memorial. What did he write? He said that it was because of Dang Xin's private withholding of military pay, which led to their rebellion."

"Isn't this just putting a shit bowl on Dangxin's head? Well, after writing this memorial, Liu Dongyang took away Zhang Weizhong's military amulet, and sent someone to send the memorial written by Zhang Weizhong to the court."

"They didn't want to kill Zhang Weizhong, they just locked him up. Who would have thought that Zhang Weizhong would hang himself immediately after being locked up."

"That's no way, they had no choice but to continue to rebel. At this time, Liu Dongyang handed over the position of boss to Bai Bai."

"And Liu Dongyang himself claimed to be the commander-in-chief, Qian Chengen and a man named Xu Chao were the deputy commander-in-chief, and Qi Yun and Tu Wenxiu were the left and right generals, and began to send troops to attack other places."

"They first occupied Ningxia Town, killed animals and made an oath, saying that they don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but they want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day. Hey, and then sworn brothers."

"After the oath of alliance, the rebel army moved very quickly, and quickly occupied Zhongwei, Guangwu, Yuquanying, and Lingzhou and other cities."

"But they soon ran into a problem. Who was it? A man named Wei Pinglu stood in front of them."

"Seeing that Wei Pinglu has extraordinary abilities, I had no choice but to ask for foreign aid. What kind of foreign aid? I got the help of the Mongolian leader Zhuo Litu."

"It is said that Qianbai sent someone to follow Li Tu and say, as long as you help me, when I take the whole of Ningxia, I will give you the land around Xuhuamachi!"

"Hearing this, the hard-working rabbit is a rare and good thing! So he immediately sent troops to help Xiaobai. As a result, the power of Xiaobai was greatly increased, and the court was shaken."

"By March [-]th, there were rebels everywhere in Ningxia, and the deputy commander-in-chief Li Yan received a call from the governor Wei Xuezeng, and he was promoted to the commander-in-chief and asked him to lead troops to destroy the rebels."

"Well, Xiaobai was originally the deputy general of Ningxia. After the rebellion, the court re-appointed Li Wei as the deputy general. I won't explain in a while."

"Okay, I just said that Governor Wei Xue once asked Li Wei to lead troops to destroy the rebels, but because of the support of the Taoist Ministry, the rebellion has not been suppressed for a long time, and the situation has become serious."

"Later, the imperial court really couldn't stand it any longer, so they called in a general named Ma Gui from elsewhere and asked him to wipe out the rebels."

"This Magui is very strong. After receiving the order, he quickly led his troops into Ningxia. He sent people to attack Qibai, and at the same time sent people to block the Tuobu. He won many battles."

"In April, the imperial court transferred Li Rusong to Ningxia, dismissed Li Rusong from his position, and promoted Li Rusong to be the commander-in-chief of Ningxia."

"The imperial court used Mei Guozhen, the censor of Zhejiang Province, as the supervisor, and commanded the Liaodong, Xuan, Da, Shanxi soldiers, Zhejiang soldiers, and Miao soldiers to encircle and suppress the rebels."

"This is the large army of the imperial court. More than 10,000 people have been transferred from all over the country to suppress the Qibai rebellion."

"In July, Ma Gui destroyed the base of Detao Department, chased Litu to Helan Mountain, and drove Detao Department directly out of the fortress."

"And the reinforcements from all walks of life, under the command of Governor Ye Mengxiong, surrounded the entire city of Ningxia, and poured water directly into the city."

"I forgot to mention, Wei Xuezeng was originally the governor, but was removed by the court later, and Ye Mengxiong became the governor of Ningxia."

"Okay, let's continue. After the city of Ningxia was besieged, the army lost its morale and ran out of ammunition and food. Not long after, internal strife broke out within the rebel army."

"It is said that on September [-]th, Liu Dongyang killed Tu Wenxiu, and Chengen took a look. Okay, if you kill my people, then I will kill you too!"

"Afterwards, Chengen led someone to kill Xu Chao, who belonged to Liu Dongyang."

"Later, there was a man named Zhou Guozhu under Liu Dongyang. Hey, he didn't like Liu Dongyang, so he killed Liu Dongyang immediately."
