Is there a way to globally redirect taxonomy paths -- on a pattern?
As i understand - you want to show some view on taxonomy term page. This view will take term as argument (contextual  filter) and display list of nodes related to it.

For this purpose you can use module Taxonomy Views Integrator:


  The TVI (Taxonomy Views Integrator) module allows selective overriding of taxonomy terms and/or vocabulary with the view of your choice. Using TVI you can easily create custom views to output all terms in X vocabuarly.
