The dinner with Ma Hongkui's family was quite pleasant.
Due to Liu Yimin's arrival, there was no more Western Expeditions in the West, and the Red Army's hatred against the Ma family army would have been gone in history after the failure of the Western Army. Therefore, when Liu Yimin reported to Mao Zedong, he said that he would not be able to kill him.
Only then did Mao Zedong have the idea of dealing with Ma Hongkui in the way of Shaanxi Provincial Chairman Shao Lizi. Only Liu Yimin knew in his heart how cruel the Ma family army was in history.
Now that Ma Hongkui's troops have finished fighting, the compensation has been paid, the war horses and cattle and sheep have arrived, and three national treasures have been handed back. Therefore, Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, Zeng Zhongsheng, Wu Zheng, Qian Zhuangfei, Hu Di and others are in a mood.
They were all very good. At the banquet, Ma Hongkui was educated and comforted him, and advised him to cheer up. After returning to Ningxia, he would reform his past and do something good for the people of Ningxia.
Liu Yimin knew that although Ma Hongkui in history did not participate in the main battle to eliminate the Western Route Army, he was also the only local warlord in China that did not send troops to fight during the War of Resistance. Ma Bufang and Ma Hongbin all sent troops to participate in the war, but Ma Hongkui hid in Ningxia.
Moving, he worked hard to make money and fish the people. During the War of Liberation, Ma Hongkui took active action and led his troops to seize the three-sided areas. Mao Zedong once said angrily that he had never done a good thing.
The situation has changed now. Maybe Ma Hongkui will change after losing capital, at least he will not dare to attack the Red Army anymore.
Liu Yimin didn't say much at the table, sat next to Tang Xingying, eating and drinking quietly.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yimin's calmness made Ma Hongkui feel more and more unpredictable. He gently touched the fourth concubine with his feet. Liu Muxia immediately understood, picked up the wine glass and came to Liu Yimin and Tang Xingying, and said, "Liu Junguo."
Mrs. Liu, I'm sorry, I just came from Ningxia, and the news is blocked. I don't know that you just got married. I said something you shouldn't say today. Please don't blame the commander of the army and wife. I'll drink one first to apologize to you."
After that, I raised my glass and drank it all.
Liu Yimin had to stand up and said, "The Fourth Auntie is polite, I don't know how to be guilty. In fact, Mr. Ma still did something, and did a good job in planting trees in Ningxia. Before leaving, I have something to ask you couples.
Consider it, that is, to benefit more and less evil. Benefits can enrich the people, and to calm your mind. To commit evil harm to the people, it will also cause your mind to fall into endless troubles. In the coming world, life is short and greedy and shameless,
It was a waste of my parents' teachings and also shamed my ancestors. To give the most realistic example, Shao Lizi is the chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Government, but he is a decent person and honest man. He was also captured by us, but he is our guest of honor. Why
? Please think about it carefully after Mr. Ma goes back."
Ma Hongkui stood up and beat him up. He said that he had been taught, but the wine glass in his hand kept colliding with Liu Yimin's wine glass and wanted to cheer with Liu Yimin.
Liu Yimin and Tang Xingying had to clink glasses with Ma Hongkui and his wife.
After drinking, the atmosphere became warmer. Liu Muxia pulled Tang Xingying close and forced the three girls she brought in, each singing a Qin Opera.
Although Tang Xingying has good luck and good opportunities since joining the Red Army, she has made great contributions and has achieved her wishes, in terms of life experience, she is not the opponent of Liu Muxia, who has experienced many vicissitudes and is good at observing words and expressions. In the end, she may be the age of three girls.
Similarly, and sympathized with their miserable life experience, Tang Xingying begged Luo Ronghuan to keep the three girls and went to the art troupe to report to Zhao Xiaoman.
Although Ma Hongkui paid the money and the three treasures he obtained were confiscated by the Red Army, he was in a happy mood to go back alive and regain freedom, and be able to have a good relationship with the powerful neighbor of the Red Army.
Liu Yimin, firstly, the current atmosphere of the Kuomintang-Republic negotiations does not allow him to kill people like Ma Hongkui, and secondly, from a strategic perspective, Ma Hongbin cannot be the dominant player in Ningxia. The reason why Ma Hongbin finally performed better in history and accepted adaptation was on the one hand, on the other hand,
It was because he had no major sin. On the other hand, Ma Hongkui suppressed him with all his might. His power was relatively weak and he was extremely disappointed with the Kuomintang authorities. Now that Ma Hongkui has been captured, he has been appointed as the chairman of Ningxia. He cannot kill a single Ma Hongkui.
Another strong warlord who is smarter than Ma Hongkui comes up, and that ending is something that Liu Yimin absolutely does not want to see.
As a result, when Ma Hongkui patted his chest and repeatedly promised to change things, the Red Seventh Army asked him to take his senior officer back to Ningxia as promised.
After dealing with Ma Hongkui's affairs, Liu Yimin asked Hu Di to hurry up and do Ma Bufang's work, because he knew that the North China Incident would soon escalate, and there would be many major things waiting to be done, and there would be no time to delay these legacy issues.
Hu Di followed Liu Yimin's instructions and found Ma Pu.
Ma Pu, whose courtesy name is Huai'an, was from Hui people, and was from Linxia, Gansu. He was captured and served as the brigade commander of the Independent Cavalry Brigade of the 100th Division.
Liu Yimin knew that in history, Ma Pu led his troops to participate in the battle of Nijiayingzi to destroy the Western Route Army. He was brought back to Qinghai by stray bullets. Later, he had disagreements with Ma Bufang and was idle at home. After Qinghai was liberated, he used it.
He has done a lot of work in his prestige and has served as vice chairman of Qinghai Province.
Because Ma Yuanhai was shot in the back by a sniper in the Battle of Tianshui, among the officers captured by Qingma, Ma Pu was old and had relatively high prestige. Therefore, Liu Yimin asked Hu Di to talk to him directly.
With experience in dealing with Ma Hongkui, and being one of the top three Chinese Communist Party intelligence experts and having rich experience in fighting, Hu Di quickly surrendered Ma Pu.
In fact, to put it bluntly, after being captured for so long and being imprisoned, these senior Qingma officers who were not aware of their words had already lowered their proud heads in their hearts. They had to admit that even if the Red Seventh Army was ordered to do so, they would
They put them back and let them fight with their troops, and they were still defeated. The result was cruel, but it was the fact. Because these officers have seen that in the Battle of Tianshui, they failed well, whether it was tactics.
, firepower, or reconnaissance and planning the enemy, the gap between them and the Red Seventh Legion is too big, not a heavyweight.
Alas, times have changed, and the years of dominating the sabre and cruelty and barbarity are gone forever.
Therefore, when Hu Di found Ma Pu, Ma Pu was very glad that the Red Army knew him and looked down on him. In any case, as long as he could go back.
Ma Pu quickly sent a message to Ma Bufang using the Red Army's radio station, asking him to send someone to bring money to rescue these officers. The conditions for the Red Army were that the brigade commander was 200,000 yuan, the deputy brigade commander was 150,000 yuan, the regiment commander was 100,000 yuan, and the deputy
The regiment commander is 50,000 yuan, the battalion commander is 30,000 yuan, the deputy battalion commander is 20,000 yuan, the company commander is 10,000 yuan, and the platoon leader is 5,000 yuan. The security regiment and the militia are implemented according to this standard. The living brigade commander of the New Second Army and the Fifth Cavalry Division
There are 6 people, 5 deputy brigade commanders, 9 regiment commanders, 6 deputy regiment commanders, 21 battalion commanders, and more platoon levels in the company. Ma Bufang will bring 5 million yuan in any case.
Coming with the Red Army, Ma Hongkui and the senior officers of the 7th Division have been released. He and the officers are living here for a long time, eager to rescue him.
In fact, Liu Yimin, Hu Di, and Ma Pu did not expect that at this time, Ma Bufang's chief of staff, Ma De, was already on the way to Xi'an with gold.
After Ma Bufang and Ma De led the gendarmerie to flee from Gangu to Xining, they were still in shock and had no time to gather the militias from all over the country and piece together the troops. Xue Yue's army of 100,000 arrived.
This time, Xue Yue climbed the snow-capped mountains and crossed the grassland. He worked hard all the way and left many bodies before he arrived in Xining.
As soon as Ma Bufang saw Xue Yue's army arrive, he went to pay homage to Xue Yue and asked Xue Yue to avenge him.
Xue Yue snorted in his nose and ignored him. After sending troops to Lanzhou to strengthen defense, Xue Yue began to operate in Xining, removing two-thirds of the officials appointed by Ma Bufang, leaving only a few reputations.
Good officials supported the storefront, and all important positions were replaced by officials who were emergency airlifted from Nanjing to Chengdu and entered Qinghai with Xue Yue's troops.
At this moment, Ma Bufang completely understood that Xue Yue was not here to help him, but to seize the rule of Qinghai.
Even if you understand, it is useless to have no strength.
If you want to go to Nanjing to complain to Chiang Kai-shek, Xue Yue told him directly that the commissioner said that he could take office in Nanjing and could also send a plane to pick him up and his family.
Thinking about the conflict with his uncle Ma Lin back then, Ma Lin ran to Nanjing to file a lawsuit with Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek bluntly said to Ma Lin, your Ma family is entrenched in the area of Qinghai and Gansu, and has not done anything good for the people, and has no behavior with bandits.
The strangeness made Ma Lin feel ashamed. Thinking of this, Ma Bufang himself stopped complaining.
Learning from the pain, Ma Bufang felt that no one was complaining, but he blamed himself for being too stupid and stupid. He forced the main force and so many security groups to destroy the militia in Tianshui. The most urgent task was to leave Xining quickly and take the remaining troops to Yushu.
As long as he can rest in Yushu for a few years, his strength will grow stronger, no one can do anything to him, whether it is Chiang Kai-shek or Xue Yue.
So, Ma Bufang left Xining with his confidants and the remaining troops and fled to Yushu.
Xue Yue was too lazy to pay attention to him and wanted him to leave Xining. If Ma Bufang dared to behave badly, Xue Yue believed that he could be wiped out while chatting and laughing.
After Ma Bufang fled to Yushu, he discussed with the core figures of the Ma family army who remained in Qinghai, and felt that he had to negotiate with the Red Army immediately and let them release the captured officers and soldiers. Otherwise, under Xue Yue's suppression, the Qingma Group would be very good.
It will soon disappear.
Ma Bufang is a little different from Ma Hongkui. He is more cruel than Ma Hongkui, so he is naturally the same in his work. He knew that trying to rescue people from the Red Army was tantamount to dreams. Apart from gold, silver dollars, war horses, and food, I'm afraid other things will be said.
Nothing can do. Fortunately, Qinghai produces gold. The Ma family has ruled in Qinghai for many years and has a rich family background. It is nothing to make some blood. The key is to avoid Xue Yue's eyes and safely send gold and silver dollars to the Red Army.
Ma Bufang originally wanted to go to Xi'an in person, but was afraid that Xue Yue would tell him that he was in the Communist Party when he found out, so he took the opportunity to deal with him, so he had to send Chief of Staff Ma De to Xi'an. For safety, Ma Bufang sent out his last elite military corps and escorted Ma De.
.
After Ma De left, Ma Bufang waited for news from Xi'an every day, looking forward to the stars and the moon. After receiving Ma Pu's telegram, Ma Bufang was ecstatic. It seemed that things could be done. This must be a telegram sent by the Red Army to instruct Ma Pu to send.
Go and redeem yourself!
Ma Bufang immediately replied that he had sent Chief of Staff Ma De to lead the gendarmerie to Xi'an with money, asking Ma Pu to tell the Red Army commander to pay attention to sending troops to help ensure Ma De and his party's safety.
Ma Bufang also asked Ma Pu to do more work and try to let the Red Army send more people back. It doesn't matter if the money is not enough. After Ma De arrives, the military police can escort the officers back and then bring money to pick them up. In short, more and more people come back.
The better.
After Hu Di showed Ma Bufang's telegram to Liu Yimin, Liu Yimin laughed. Ma Bufang seems to be really a gold mine to make money. Okay, this drama is good!
At this time, Li Qing had already rushed back to Xi'an and began to cooperate with Hu Di. Liu Yimin asked Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, Zeng Zhongsheng, Wu Zheng to discuss with Li Qing and Hu Di, thinking that if Ma Bufang was really willing to redeem the money, he felt that if Ma Bufang was really willing to redeem the money
People might as well put the captured soldiers back. Now that the situation has changed, Ma Bufang must have been angry with Xue Yue and has no way to complain. He is eager to strengthen his strength and compete with Xue Yue for the rule of Qinghai. Since that's the case, after Ma De comes
, so he negotiated with him and asked him to redeem the prisoners at the price of 3,000 yuan for the squad leader and 2,000 yuan for the soldiers.
Li Qing proposed that the standards are too high, and the Ma family army does not pay for catching soldiers. Ma Bufang will definitely not do such a high price, and it is difficult to negotiate.
Liu Yimin said: "It doesn't matter if it's not true. Anyway, we don't need labor if we build roads, build schools, engage in settlements, and start mining, and run businesses? And this labor is still free."
Li Qing muttered: "Don't you want money?"
Before Liu Yimin could speak, Cai Zhong continued, "League Commander, why do I feel that there is something wrong with your approach? It seems like we are doing business. Don't forget that we are the Red Army and we have a policy of captives."
Liu Yimin was a little confused. He looked at Cai Zhong again and felt that he didn't seem to have a fever, so he said, "I know we are the Red Army and we have a prisoner policy, but that depends on what prisoner is. If we insist on following the prisoner policy, we don't know.
Flexibility, where does our powerful Seventh Legion come from? Where does our army's combat effectiveness come from? Besides, how can we develop without money? What can we use to buy equipment and materials? How can we make guns, cannons and ammunition? This Qingma army
Doing many evil deeds, we should not let them go, but hold their public trial meeting and they will be shot. But then, aren’t we going to get the funds needed by the revolution? Listen to me, there is nothing wrong. However, I remind you,
When we arrived at the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, we would like to tell me the policy of captives. If we met Japanese soldiers, just kill them! Until they were so scared that they surrendered. Never shout to take the gun before the enemy put down their weapons.
Kill and rush up. Whoever dares to do that will remove his post. Everyone remembers what I said."
Everyone stopped talking and the office became quiet.
