The senior staff officers brought by Cai Yun completed a detailed plan within two days based on the information provided by Ma Qi, Ma Yuntao, Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming. Ma Qi will go with Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming
Nang Qian then secretly detained Zhang Mingyuan, commander of the 23rd Battalion of the Qingma Army, in order to force him to defect to western Sichuan. Then, he concentrated his forces to cooperate with the 10th Brigade to capture Yushu and solve the problem of the five battalions of the Qingma Army deployed in Yushu.
strength, and eliminated nearly a quarter of the Qingma Army in one fell swoop. If the Qingma Army did not react in time, they could even take advantage of the situation and march into Maqin. If they won, victory would be completely established. Of course, the specific battle plan is
In this way, as to which step it can be taken, it depends on the development of the situation.
Originally, Wang Yuze asked to enter Nangqian with Ma Qi and the others, but Cai Yun sternly refused. If Ma Qi and the others pretended to defect to western Sichuan, then Wang Yuze would be in danger. In this case, not only would the plan of western Sichuan be completely eliminated.
Failure would also have a series of serious consequences. Therefore, Cai Yun could not let Wang Yuze take this risk.
Of course, the supervision of Ma Qi and the others is also indispensable. This important task finally fell to Wang Yuze's cover, Wang Wei. As Wang Yuze's cover, the son of the steward of the patrolling embassy, Wang Wei's loyalty to the Wang family, then
It is beyond doubt.
A week later, the supplies of the 10th Brigade were replenished, and the plan to fight the Qingma Army was fully launched. Ma Yuntao, Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming sent a message to Xining. The negotiation failed and they would leave Qamdo and return to Xining.
At the same time, Ma Qi had secretly infiltrated into their team. Of course, the original 30-man bodyguards had also pledged their allegiance to Western Sichuan. These people were all subordinates of Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming, and even the boss had joined them.
After leaving Western Sichuan, those of them who are the younger brothers will naturally not hold on to it.
Wang Wei also mixed in with ten elite soldiers from the 10th Brigade, while the original escort left the same number of people in Qamdo. At the same time, the entire 10th Brigade had been mobilized. All the troops were also
After being prepared for battle, they will set off in two days. According to the budgeted time, by the time they arrive in Nangqian, Ma Qi and others have already taken control of Nangqian and seized command of the troops.
On the plateau at the end of March, the snow has almost melted and the muddy roads are almost dry, which will not affect the march of the large troops. The journey from Qamdo to Nangqian is a little longer because it has to pass through Tha Nyen Tha Ong Mountain.
.But for the cavalry, it only takes four days.
On the afternoon of April 1st, Ma Yuntao and others arrived at Nangqian. Since someone had been sent to notify them long ago, Zhang Mingyuan, the commander of the 23rd Battalion of the Qingma Army, greeted them. However, Ma Qi and Wang
Wei and others did not show up.
"Mr. Ma, Brother Bai, Brother Ding, brothers, I have prepared wine and food. We will not go home until we get drunk tonight!" Zhang Mingyuan is a burly man in his thirties. He is usually friends with Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming.
good.
"Haha, okay! Brother Zhang, stay here for a moment. Let's go back to the camp first. We will definitely come for the banquet in the evening!" Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming both replied. After returning to Nangqian, they must first control the troops.
OK. Otherwise, the entire plan cannot be carried out at all.
"Okay, brothers, I'll be waiting for you guys!" Zhang Mingyuan didn't say much. Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming have been away from the army for so long, so naturally they have to care about the current situation of the army first. This is also human nature.
As for Ma Yuntao, he left with Zhang Mingyuan first. He was from Xining and had a very high status. Even if he did not complete the task this time, he was not something Zhang Mingyuan could neglect. Therefore, Zhang Mingyuan maintained high respect for Ma Yuntao.
.
After Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming returned to their troops, they immediately summoned their confidants. They did not hide anything and told the truth about their loyalty to Western Sichuan. This news shocked the officers below them.
.However, Ma Qi then appeared and told them the reasons for defecting to Western Sichuan. Wang Wei once again assured everyone on behalf of Western Sichuan that after joining the Western Sichuan Army, their official positions would not be reduced, and military pay would be compared with that of the Western Sichuan Army. This immediately made people feel uncomfortable.
Everyone has no objections. The military salary of the Western Sichuan Army is more than double that of the Qingma Army. Besides, since even the battalion commander has defected to Western Sichuan, there is no need for subordinates like them to work hard for the Qingma Army.
As for Ma Haiyan, even his son betrayed him, so he must be running out of energy!
As the battalion commanders of the Western Sichuan Army, Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming also have great control over their troops. Ma Haiyan did not care about this. After all, every battalion commander's family was in Xining, so he naturally did not have to worry about them.
Rebelled. Moreover, if the battalion commander can take strong control of the troops, this will also greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops. Because of this, after Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming defected to Western Sichuan, together with the 10th Qingma Army
The Second Battalion and the Seventeenth Battalion also all defected to western Sichuan.
In the evening, Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming took their guards to a banquet. Tonight, they will force Zhang Mingyuan to join them. They have just defected to Western Sichuan and urgently need military merit to prove themselves so that they can gain a firm foothold in the Western Sichuan Army.
.
During the banquet, everyone drank and chatted happily.
"Mr. Ma, this time the Western Sichuan Army has gone too far. The Admiral has given the order and will fight the Western Sichuan Army at all costs. Now, it's time for us to make a contribution!" Zhang Mingyuan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and said excitedly.
.Only by fighting can soldiers like them make achievements and have the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune.
Ma Yuntao smiled and didn't say much. Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming also looked at Zhang Mingyuan playfully. Zhang Mingyuan felt very uncomfortable. He always felt that Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming were a little strange tonight.
"Brother Bai, Brother Ding, why are you looking at me like this?" Zhang Mingyuan asked.
"Brother Zhang, we have something to discuss with you tonight!" Bai Meng said.
"Brother Bai, this is just a stranger, isn't it? If you have anything to say, just say it!" Zhang Mingyuan replied boldly.
"Brother Zhang, this trip to Western Sichuan has given us a lot of experience! The strength of Western Sichuan is far beyond what our Qingma Army can compete with. Even if the three Ma Jiajun families join forces, they will definitely not be the opponent of the Western Sichuan Army! I think
, In less than ten years, the world will change its surname!" Bai Meng sighed.
"Yes! We rough guys have to prepare a way out for ourselves. Otherwise, it will be too late when the ship sinks!" Ding Zhongming also said.
Zhang Mingyuan was suddenly shocked. How could he not understand what Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming meant so clearly? At this moment, all the wine he drank before turned into sweat, and soon his whole body was wet.
.
"Bai Meng, Ding Zhongming, are you two going to betray the Admiral?" Zhang Mingyuan asked.
"That's right, Brother Zhang, we have now surrendered to the Western Sichuan Army. You can join us too!" Bai Meng admitted.
"You are looking for death, come here! Catch these traitors!" Zhang Mingyuan shouted. However, the yard outside was still quiet, and his subordinates did not come in.
"Stop yelling, your people have been taken care of by us!" The door of the room was pushed open, and a young man walked in from the outside. Zhang Mingyuan took a look and saw that it was Ma Qi, the eldest young master of the Qingma Army.
"Young Master, are you also...?" Zhang Mingyuan was completely stunned.
"That's right, the Qing Ma Army is already declining. If you follow the Qing Ma Army, you will not end well!" Ma Qi said with certainty.
What kind of world is this? My son has rebelled against me! Zhang Mingyuan never expected that things would turn out like this.
"Brother Zhang, why are you hesitating? Make a decision quickly!" Ding Zhongming urged.
Zhang Mingyuan shuddered, and he could see the cold light in Ma Qi's eyes very clearly. If he didn't agree, he would only die now.
"Okay, since the young master has said so, I, Zhang Mingyuan, will definitely obey your orders!" Zhang Mingyuan made a choice immediately.
"Okay! General Zhang, please go and appease your subordinates! In addition, block the news and wait for the Western Sichuan Army to station in Nangqian!" Ma Qi said excitedly. This matter was finally done, and he was able to give the Western Sichuan Army a head start.
Worked!
