Chapter 39 The plan begins
Ma Yuntao stared at Wang Yuze with a burning look, and the intent of forcing and threatening was beyond words. He believed that a small company commander of the Western Sichuan Army would definitely be extremely frightened if he was threatened like this. After all, the 36 battalions of the Qingma Army and more than 30,000 elite cavalry were already a very powerful force. Even when facing the Western Sichuan Army, the Qingma Army would be proud enough. Not to mention a small military station, there were only two hundred Western Sichuan Army.
After the news of Ma Qi's failure and captive attack on the Western Sichuan Army Station was heard, Ma Haiyan was furious and cursed with anger. There were both scolding Ma Qi for acting without permission and being bold, and also deeply dissatisfied with the Western Sichuan Army. Over the years, the friction between the Qingma Army and the Western Sichuan Army has increased, and deep hatred has long accumulated. Now even the eldest master of the Qingma Army has been captured. If it weren't for the amazing strength of the Western Sichuan Army and the two brigades were suppressed by 16,700 people, the Qingma Army could not breathe, Ma Haiyan had already ordered the army to attack and slash the Western Sichuan Army's troops station.
Although Ma Haiyan is now 64 years old and is no longer as brave as when the cavalry rebels against the Qing Dynasty decades ago, the powerful aura he exudes is still beyond the reach of others. The generals of the Qing Ma Army, under the intimidation of Ma Haiyan, were all timid and did not dare to speak out.
Everyone knows that Ma Qi is the son that Ma Haiyan values the most. Ma Haiyan, who has a son in his old age, has high hopes for Ma Qi. Although Ma Qi is a little reckless in daily life, in general, it is still very good in all aspects. He will definitely be able to inherit the Qing Ma Army well in the future. Now Ma Qi has fallen into the hands of the Western Sichuan Army, which makes Ma Haiyan feel so at ease.
If it weren't for the fear of endangering Ma Qi's life, Ma Haiyan would have ordered a war with the Western Sichuan Army. Of course, even if he wanted to fight with the Western Sichuan Army, he would have to wait until spring is in full bloom. In the cold winter, he would have to attack on a large scale from time to time. If Ma Qi can be brought back safely before this, it would be the best.
Therefore, Ma Yuntao's mission this time is to put pressure on Wang Yuze to rescue Ma Qi safely. After the next year, the Qing Ma Army will launch revenge on the Western Sichuan Army. After all, Ma Qi was arrested and hundreds of elite soldiers were killed and injured. This revenge must be avenged!
"Haha, Mr. Ma, are you threatening me?" Wang Yuze laughed loudly, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he asked coldly.
"Company Commander Wang is serious! Ma is just a statement of one fact. Tens of thousands of elite troops in the Qingma Army were impossible to see their eldest master being arrested. He also asked Company Commander Wang to let the eldest master go back to Xining to reunite with his family. Otherwise, if tens of thousands of elite troops in the Qingma Army go crazy, it would be amazing. Therefore, if Company Commander Wang lets the eldest master go, our two families can reconcile!" Ma Yuntao said with a smile. Although he repeatedly denied threatening Wang Yuze, the meaning was very obvious, and even a fool could hear it. The Qingma Army was mostly **. After the Ma family started a war, ** became increasingly fierce. Even after accepting the scrupulous revenge of the Qing court, he was still rebellious, and even the Qing court had no choice but to deal with them.
"Hmph! Since that's the case, Mr. Ma, please come back! I, Wang Long, are waiting for your Qingma army to launch a large-scale attack! I want to see how you can siege my small soldier station!" Wang Yuze said coldly.
"You?" Ma Yuntao looked shocked, as if he had not expected that Wang Yuze could still be so tough in the face of the threat from the Qingma Army. Could it be that he really thought that a small army station could compete with tens of thousands of elite troops in the Qingma Army?
"Company Commander Wang, you have considered it clearly. When the elite Qingma Army arrives, you will definitely be killed in a small army station. Not to mention, your actions will also affect the relationship between the Qingma Army and the Western Sichuan Army. Although the Western Sichuan Army is powerful, our Qingma Army is not a vegetarian. Not to mention, we also have the support of the Hezhou Ma Family Army and the Ning Ma Army. The three families are integrated, with a total of 100,000 elite troops. Even if you are the Western Sichuan Army, you dare not make it sharp!" Ma Yuntao said with a fierce look.
In the entire northwest of China, the Ma family army is undoubtedly the most powerful force. The northwest region is flat, either in the grassland or in the Gobi, which is very suitable for cavalry charges. The three Ma family army have 100,000 elite cavalry, traversing the northwest, and no one can defeat them. Even the Western Sichuan Army must be fully prepared before they can fight against them.
"Mr. Ma, please do it! Don't say that Ma Qi is not in my hands now, even if it is there, I definitely can't hand it over to you! Let me tell you the truth, Ma Qi has been sent to Changdu now. If the Qing Ma Army wants people, I think it's better for you to go to Changdu. Of course, whether Ma Qi can be taken away depends on the meaning of our Western Sichuan Army." Wang Yuze smiled coldly. He knew very well that Ma Qi would be let go so easily as an important piece for the Western Sichuan Army to check and balance the Qing Ma Army. Ma Yuntao probably took a trip this time in vain.
"You!" Ma Yuntao was furious. Isn't Wang Yuze playing with people? Since Ma Qi is not in his hands, why do he still say so much? It's a waste of time. At the same time, Ma Yuntao also felt that this mission would probably return without success. Since Ma Qi was sent to Chamdo, it was obvious that Ma Qi was arrested, which has attracted the attention of the senior leaders of the Western Sichuan Army. They obviously wouldn't let Ma Qi go so easily.
"Please! Wang Wei, see off the guests!" Wang Yuze stood up and said.
"Mr. Ma, please!" Wang Wei said immediately.
"Hmph!" Ma Yuntao snorted coldly, but had to leave. Since Ma Qi was no longer at this army, there was no need for him to stay there. It would be better to go to Changdu as soon as possible. Although he knew that there would be no result in going to Changdu, at least he could know Ma Qi's recent situation! Furthermore, he could also know the next plan of the Western Sichuan Army. This would also facilitate the Qing Ma Army to make active responses.
Ma Yuntao and his group of more than a dozen people were invited out of the military station. Compared with the warm military station, the cold snow outside was simply unbearable! The Qingma Army shouted and cursed, but looking at the black muzzle of heavy machine guns on the tower, they had to leave in the end.
Ma Yuntao took them with a letter written by Wang Yuze and embarked on the road to Chamdo. Without Wang Yuze's introduction, they would not have been able to arrive in Chamdo safely. After all, behind Kasangka could be considered the hinterland of the Western Sichuan Army. Even if the mountains are covered with heavy snow, the levels everywhere are also strictly guarded. It would be basically impossible for Ma Yuntao and his group to reach Chamdo without any obstacles. Of course, in order to avoid conflict, Wang Yuze did not return their weapons. He still looked down on some old-fashioned 1886 Leber rifles. Compared with the 1889 rifles and cavalry rifles used by the Western Sichuan Army, they were already much behind.
In this way, Ma Yuntao and his group walked hard in the snow for a full week before they arrived in Chamdo. After reporting their names, Ma Yuntao met Ma Qi. Ma Qi was not abused, but was under house arrest. They still had enough food and drink, but they were only restricted from freedom. As for the other prisoners, there was no such treatment at all. Those who were extremely guilty were shot dead. Some of the more light crimes would be sent back to Sichuan to build roads and mine in the spring of the following year.
After seeing Ma Qi, Ma Yuntao met with Zhao Bowen, the commander of the 10th Brigade, and expressed the intention of the Qing Ma Army to return Ma Qi. However, Zhao Bowen sternly rejected this request. However, Zhao Bowen did not insist that he would not release Ma Qi, but only told Ma Yuntao that in the spring of next year, western Sichuan would send a special person to be responsible for the negotiations with the Qing Ma Army, so that Ma Yuntao would not have to worry, and at the same time asked him to go back to report to Ma Haiyan that the two sides could hold a meeting next spring. As for the specific content, Zhao Bowen did not disclose it, perhaps even he himself was not very clear. But he could guess that in the spring of next year, the 10th Brigade would have something to do and would not be idle like this year. Next spring, the major plan of the Western Sichuan Army will be launched soon.
Ma Yuntao had no choice but to rush back to Xining with disappointment and anger, and reported to Ma Haiyan.
