"Captain Ding is joking." Ma San cupped his fists and said, "I, Ma San, can't repay your kindness today."
Ma San was also a straight-tempered man. He looked at Ding Wei sincerely and said, "Captain Ding, I have an unkind request. I would like to ask Commander Ding to take action."
Ding Wei's heart moved, and he secretly thought that it was true.
Looking at Ma San's eyes, Ding Wei could tell that Ma San had something to ask of him.
As for what happened.
That's so simple.
When this guy killed Hu Er, he said that his people had been captured by the Japanese. Presumably, Ma San wanted to seek his own cause and had something to do with it.
"Tell me what you want first." Ding Wei waved his hand and said, "I will definitely help you with whatever I can."
Ma San apologized with his hands in hand and said gratefully: "I would like to thank Commander Ding here first. Commander Ding, you have heard before that all my people were captured by the Japanese, and here are only some of my people.
But there are still some who are imprisoned by the Japanese, and I want to ask you to save them!"
Hearing this, Ding Wei secretly thought that it was true.
Ma San really wanted to use his own power to save the rest of his tribe.
Seeing that Ding Wei didn't speak, Ma San thought Ding Wei was hesitant.
after all.
If you open and close your words, the troops that others have worked so hard to build will have to fight to the death, which cannot be justified in terms of emotion and reason.
"Captain Ding, don't worry, I won't let you do this in vain," Ma San said.
A voice pulled Ding Wei back from his thoughts before Ding Wei could digest Ma San's words.
Ma San said again: "Captain Ding, as long as you can save my people, I, Ma San, and my clansmen will definitely be willing to work hard for Captain Ding."
Ding Wei was so happy that he didn't expect Ma San to be willing to lead his whole family to follow him.
This means putting all your wealth on yourself.
"You are joking. I am a Chinese soldier. It is my duty to save the people from fire and water. Even if you don't say so, I will still save the people who should be saved." Ding Wei waved his hand with a smile.
"The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water." Ma San said seriously: "Now I can see the world clearly. In a troubled world, wanting to be alone is just a wishful thinking.
I, Ma San, do not want to be a traitor, nor do I want to defect to the national army. Commander Ding, you have a good reputation and are unequivocal in fighting the Japanese. I, Ma San, am willing to lead my tribe to follow you!"
What Ma San said was sincere, and the tribesmen behind him also clasped their fists in agreement.
They were imprisoned here, working as coolies for the Japanese, and being bullied by traitors. If Ding Wei had not led his troops to rescue them, they would have lived like this for who knows how long.
"Captain Ding, there is something you may not know." Ma San added: "The reason why the little devil is willing to force us to stay is actually for another reason.
This is also the reason why they have always wanted to keep me and force me to submit at the cost of the lives of my tribe."
Ding Wei suddenly became interested: "Tell me about it."
It is unrealistic to think about leaving people here for pasture. There must be other reasons behind this.
Ding Wei had thought of this a long time ago, but he didn't expect that Ma San would actually bring it up.
"Captain Ding, I wonder if you have heard of Ma Jiajun." Ma San asked with a smile.
"Ma Jiajun?" Ding Wei thought about it carefully, feeling like he had heard this name somewhere before.
Suddenly, Ding Wei thought that there seemed to be such a Ma family army in the northwest region, the Northwest Three Horses, who were famous local warlords.
"You mean the Ma Jiajun in the northwest?" Ding Wei asked tentatively.
"That's right, Ma San nodded. We are the same lineage of the Majia Army in the northwest." Ma San said, "But our ancestors have long since separated and developed their own families."
As he spoke, Ma San showed disdain: "However, looking at the current situation of the Ma's Army in the northwest, I am very grateful to our ancestors.
Separate your family from them as soon as possible, otherwise you will still have the bad reputation of a warlord on your head."
Ding Wei didn't say anything. He didn't have much interest in the family's past.
Just as he was thinking about it, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his head.
"Ma Sanzheng is determined to ask the host for help. Please choose whether the host agrees or not."
"Choose one, agree to deal with the remaining members of the Ma San clan, and receive skill rewards and loyalty insights."
"Option two, politely decline."
"Note: The loyalty insight skill can check the loyalty of subordinates."
"The higher the loyalty, the more loyal you are to the host and the less likely you are to rebel."
Ding Wei's eyes lit up.
This is a good skill. If the Japanese recruit two spies in the future, I will be able to detect it as quickly as possible.
With almost no hesitation, Ding Wei decisively chose 1.
Putting aside this skill, Ding Wei really wanted to take this Ma San under his command.
after all.
This guy has been raising horses for generations and is proficient in horseback combat. He can be of great use to his cavalry brigade.
With them, his troops no longer have to starve. Even if there is no system reward for the talent that comes to his door, Ding Wei has to agree.
As soon as he made his choice, Ding Wei felt a warm current flowing in his eyes, bringing with him waves of comfort.
When Ding Wei looked at the busy soldiers around him, he found that they all had numbers on their heads.
Without exception, everything is 100%.
He is 100% loyal and will not betray Ding Wei even if he is captured.
Looking back at Ma San in front of me, I can't see any loyalty.
This is also because Ma San is not Ding Wei's subordinate at the moment, so naturally there is no sense of loyalty.
Seeing that Ding Wei was silent, Ma San thought that he was not sincere enough. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and cupped his fists at Ding Wei.
"I believe you have also heard about the Kungfu on horseback of the Ma family army. To be honest, in addition to the skills of raising horses, our Kungfu on horseback is also not bad.
The northwest line is not good, and only half of the horse warfare remains. However, our line has retained all of it. After hundreds of years of improvement, our ancestors have perfected horseback warfare.
The Japanese locked me up mainly because they wanted to practice horse fighting well!"
Hearing this, Ding Wei nodded. With the little devil being so shameless, he would probably turn to coercion because the inducement failed.
"As long as Captain Ding is willing to save my people, I will not only be willing to lead the whole clan to you, but I will also give you this horse war book without any reservation!" Ma San looked at Ding Wei with sincere eyes.
"Clan leader...this!" One of the clan members was shocked when they heard what Ma San said.
The rest of the tribe also wanted to speak out to stop him.
Ding Wei was in an uproar because he didn't expect Ma San to contribute the family's secret horse fighting skills.
This is a big deal.
A hundred years of accumulation will surely bring the cavalry brigade to a new level.
"I have seen your sincerity." Ding Wei said with a smile: "Since you are so sincere, I won't be too vague.
Our 28th Regiment welcomes your arrival. It just so happens that my cavalry brigade is short of manpower, so your arrival has solved a big problem for me."
After a pause, Ding Wei continued: "We will discuss the matter of rescuing your people after we return. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so we should leave here first!"
When Ma San heard this, he didn't say much and nodded in agreement.
After taking away all the things that could be looted from the ranch, Ding Wei ordered that all the heads of the Japanese stationed in the ranch be cut off and hung outside the ranch, and finally he led his troops to leave.
