"Are you talking about Ma Qi, the eldest son of Qinghai Admiral Ma Haiyan?" Wang Yuze grabbed the horse bandit's collar and asked excitedly. Ma Qi is Qingma's eldest son! There is no need to risk his life and lead the team himself.
Attack the third company's military station? Wang Yuze seems to have forgotten, isn't he risking his own life now? As a young marshal in western Sichuan, he is in a small military station. If something unexpected happens, who can bear the responsibility?
Take responsibility.
"Yes, sir, it's that Ma Qi!" The horse bandit was startled and quickly replied.
"Haha, okay! Come on, come with him and bring Ma Qi to me. You, go and inform the battalion commander that we have caught a big fish!" Wang Yuze laughed. He did not expect that he would actually do it.
To capture a big fish like Ma Qi. Originally, he only expected to capture a few prisoners of the Qing Ma Army, thus making the Qing Ma Army bear the responsibility of provoking Western Sichuan and finding a reasonable result for Western Sichuan's annexation of Qinghai. Now, Ma Qi was captured.
Qi's capture was a complete surprise. In this way, it not only confirmed the Qingma Army's charge of provoking western Sichuan, but if it was used well, it might be easier to swallow Qinghai.
"Yes, company commander!" Two soldiers from the third company immediately led the informant horse bandit into the stable. Another person ran to inform the battalion commander Zhang Shusen.
When the informant horse bandit entered the stable with two soldiers from the third company, Ma Qi felt nervous and realized the danger. He quickly hid behind two tall Qingma Army soldiers, and those Qingma soldiers
The soldiers of the army also realized the danger and intentionally or unintentionally left Ma Qiyan behind.
However, the stable was only so big. After the informant horse bandit walked around, he still found Ma Qi. "Sir, he, he is Ma Qi!" the informant horse bandit said excitedly.
Two soldiers of the third company immediately walked towards Ma Qi, took him out from the crowd, and wanted to arrest him. The soldiers of the Qingma Army around him quickly resisted. However, their hands were tied and they could not
The effort required is really not that great.
"What do you want to do?" Faced with the resistance of the Qing Ma Army, the soldiers of the third company did not hesitate at all and smashed the butt of their rifles. Suddenly, a Qing Ma Army soldier was hit on the head.
From the mouth, bright red blood flowed down.
The soldiers of the Third Company who were guarding the prisoners all around also noticed something strange and started shouting. "What do you want to do?" The lances in their hands were pointed at the resisting horse bandits. There was a "crash" sound and they all got on board.
chamber.
"Everyone, calm down and don't resist. I'll be fine!" Ma Qi quickly dissuaded him. He knew that if he continued to resist, the soldiers of the third company would definitely shoot. Since he had been captured, he had better be honest.
To avoid unnecessary casualties. Besides, since the Western Sichuan Army was targeting him, his life should not be harmed.
Under Ma Qi's comfort, the captured soldiers of the Qingma Army calmed down. Ma Qi followed the soldiers of the third company out of the stable.
"Hello, young master of the Ma family! I, Wang Long, am the commander of the third company of the second battalion of the 10th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army!" Wang Yuze looked at Ma Qi and said with a smile. Although Ma Qi was captured and looked a little embarrassed, he still
He couldn't hide the aura he had.
"Hello, Captain Wang! I wonder what you want to see Ma about?" Ma Qi said calmly.
"Haha, the eldest young master of the Ma family is here to be our guest in western Sichuan. Of course he will treat me warmly!" Wang Yuze said with a smile. At this time, Zhang Shusen had already arrived.
"Battal Commander, this is Ma Qi, the eldest young master of the Qingma Army!" Wang Yuze immediately explained to Zhang Shusen.
"Hello, Master Ma!" Zhang Shusen also beamed with joy when he heard that this person was actually Ma Qi.
"Hello, Camp Commander Zhang!" Ma Qi said coldly.
"Wang Long, take Master Ma down to have a rest first!" Zhang Shusen said.
"Okay, come here, prepare a room for Young Master Ma so that Young Master Ma can take a rest!" Wang Yuze said to Wang Wei next to him.
"Master Ma, please!" Wang Wei immediately said to Ma Qi.
Ma Qi nodded and followed Wang Wei away.
"Wang Long, your third company has made a great contribution this time! I will report it to the brigade headquarters." Zhang Shusen said excitedly. Catching Ma Qi is a great achievement. In the current relatively peaceful environment, Zhang Shusen said excitedly.
Below, it is even more rare.
"Thank you, battalion commander. But battalion commander, our company has consumed a lot of weapons and ammunition, and has also lost a lot of personnel. We have to ask the company commander to replenish it for us!" Wang Long said with a smile. After catching Ma Qi,
He was also very happy in his heart.
"No problem, I'll have someone replenish it for you as soon as I return to the camp headquarters!" Zhang Shusen agreed immediately.
"Batalion Commander, it is not safe for so many prisoners of war and Ma Qi to be detained in our military station. Please bring all these prisoners of war and Ma Qi to the battalion headquarters!" Wang Yuze continued. These military achievements are all
They belong to him and no one can erase them. There is no need to imprison these prisoners of war in the third company's military station.
"Okay!" Zhang Shusen didn't think much and immediately agreed. In this operation, the third company made great achievements, and with it, their second battalion also benefited.
After having lunch at the military station of the third company, battalion commander Zhang Shusen took the reinforcements and escorted more than 100 prisoners of war back to Leiwuqi. The soldiers of the third company also rested under the leadership of deputy company commander Wang Wei
The fortifications, the bombed horses and the walls all needed to rest again. Wang Yuze, on the other hand, stayed alone in the dormitory. He wanted to sort out the thoughts in his mind and form a complete plan.
Qinghai is located in the northeast of the plateau. Although the geographical conditions are relatively harsh, its strategic location is very important. The cavalry can jump directly from the plateau, threatening the Hexi Corridor to the west, attacking the Mongolian grasslands to the north, and attacking Guanzhong to the east.
To launch an attack in this area. If we occupy this area, it will inevitably cause Western Sichuan to change its current passive defensive posture and turn it into an active offensive.
Now, the two provinces of Qinghai and Gansu are under the control of the Ma Jiajun. Among them, the Qingma Army controls Qinghai, and its leader is Ma Haiyan, the Qinghai admiral appointed by the Qing court. Sweet potato is under the control of the Ma Jiajun in Hezhou.
Now Ma Zhan'ao's son, Ma Anliang, was granted the title of Admiral of Gansu Province by the Qing government. There is also another Ningma Army commanded by Ma Qianling, the Ningxia Protectorate Envoy. Among them, Ma Haiyan and Ma Qianling were both Ma Zhan'ao's main assistants during the Hezhou Uprising. Even though
The Ma family army is now divided into three branches. Ma Zhan'ao has passed away, but Ma Haiyan and Ma Qianling often follow Ma Zhan'ao's son Ma Anliang. Together, the three families control a total of 100,000 elite cavalry. If the Western Sichuan Army can occupy Qinghai and Gansu
If these two provinces and these 100,000 elite cavalry are digested, the combat power of Western Sichuan will inevitably be greatly improved. By then, Western Sichuan will be able to directly threaten the Qing court's ruling center, and the strategic turning point will be much larger.
.
However, the relationship between the Ma Jiajun and the Western Sichuan Army has been very tense over the years, and the two sides have frequently clashed. In addition, the Ma Jiajun is also very central to the Qing court. It is almost impossible to make them turn to the Western Sichuan Army. However,
Now? Ma Haiyan's eldest son Ma Qi is already in Wang Yuze's hands. He can do a lot of things with this. Ma Haiyan values this eldest son very much. If Western Sichuan can provide him with conditions that satisfy him
, may not be able to make Ma Haiyan fall to Western Sichuan.
If Ma Haiyan refuses to defect to Western Sichuan, the Western Sichuan Army can use this as an excuse to attack the Qingma Army and seize Qinghai by force. Although the Ma family's soldiers are numerous, they cannot compare with the Western Sichuan Army in terms of combat power.
The Qingma Army, which has more than 30,000 people, was beaten to pieces by the 4th and 10th brigades of the Western Sichuan Army, with a total of 16,700 people. However, if force is used, it will inevitably consume a lot of financial and material resources. If
If the other two armies of the Ma Jiajun support the Qingma Army, then this battle will be fought. However, if the Qinghai and Gansu plots succeed, it will indeed bring huge benefits to the Western Sichuan Army. Therefore,
Even if there are difficulties, you should not give up. Wang Yuze believes that Wang Xiao and the senior officials in western Sichuan will not fail to see this.
