Chapter 45 3. Yang Dezhi was ordered to lead troops into Ningxia

In Lanzhou City, Peng Dehuai was overjoyed when he learned that the Wang Zhen Corps and Xu Guangda Corps had successfully resolved the problems of Xining and the Hexi Corridor in Gansu.One day, he called Yang Dezhi, the commander of the 19th Corps, and Li Zhimin, the political commissar, to his office and said, "The situation is very good now. The preparatory meeting for the new CPPCC has been held in Beiping. Have you read Chairman Mao's speech?" Yang Dezhi said, "I saw it in the newspaper." Li Zhimin went on to say: "Chairman Mao said that a new China will be established."

Peng Dehuai nodded and said: "Yes, we are about to establish a new People's Republic of China, and Chairman Mao even shouted the slogan 'Long Live the People's Republic of China'. This slogan is not just mentioned casually, it is of great significance! The People's Republic of China It is about to be established, but we still have Xinjiang and Ningxia that have not been liberated, and the burden on our shoulders is still heavy. You have rested for a few days, and I am going to entrust you with the task of liberating Ningxia. How is the mood of the troops?" Yang Dezhi said: "We are determined to complete the task. The mood of the troops is very good now, and everyone is looking forward to fighting."

"That's good." Li Zhimin asked: "Mr. Peng, are we going as a regiment?" "Yes, you are acting alone." Yang Dezhi said: "I heard that the two horses in Ningxia are not friendly?" "It's hard to tie two horses in one trough. There is a deep conflict between them. You should take advantage of this conflict." "We will try our best." "You guys have to work harder, take this place before the founding of the Republic, let's add icing on the cake and add happiness to the top, what do you think!" "Please rest assured Mr. Peng, our corps will go all out."

"That's up to you." The guards brought some cups of tea, and Peng Dehuai said with a smile, "I am also very poor, so I can only use this tea as a farewell party for you. When Ningxia is captured, I will use Moutai to hold a celebration party for you." While drinking tea, they studied the combat strategy for marching into Ningxia. Peng Dehuai said to them: "Although Ma Hongbin and Ma Hongkui, who are now entrenched in Ningxia, are cousins, their relationship has always been tense. They fight openly and covertly, and cannot tolerate fire and water. There are two Ningxia troops. One is the Ningxia Corps commanded by Ma Hongkui's son Ma Dunjing; One is the 81st Army under the command of Ma Hongbin's son Ma Mourning. Compared with these two units, Ma Hongkui is stronger and has great combat capabilities."

Yang Dezhi said: "It is said that Ma Hongbin is more open-minded, we can win over him." "We should fight for it. Ma Hongkui is very stubborn. He has a close relationship with Chiang Kai-shek. He flew to Chongqing some time ago and received millions of dollars in funding. He is going to fight us in Ningxia. If Ma Hongbin doesn't cooperate with him, your burden will be lightened. Chairman Mao of the Central Committee instructed us to adopt a policy of combining military strikes and political wins against the Ningxia Erma.” Li Zhimin said: "This policy is wise, and the losses in the war are too great."

Peng Dehuai lit a cigarette and asked, "Are you sure about fighting for that Ma Hongbin?" Yang Dezhi replied: "This man is very patriotic, and he performed well during the War of Resistance. Three years ago, I arrested him as a regimental commander in Pingliang, and later released him. Not only did he not make things difficult for him, he even rewarded him with a horse. Nanjing On the one hand, I asked him to send the head of the regiment to be inspected, but he refused to send him with various excuses. At that time, I also asked the head of the regiment to bring a letter to Ma Hongbin, advising him not to be our enemy. Facts have proved that he I have never sent troops to participate in the battle, and the performance is not bad.”

Putting down his teacup, Peng Dehuai said, "This person's life in Ningxia is not going well. Ma Hongkui is against him everywhere, and his life is very difficult. Now our soldiers are overwhelming the country. As long as you do your work well, he may revolt peacefully." Yang Dezhi said: "It's entirely possible, but it's not convenient for our people to go to him directly." Peng Dehuai said, "We can think of a way." Li Zhimin stood up and said, "Aren't we going to use the influential people from Lanzhou's Islamic upper class to do the work of Ma Hongbin and his son?"

Peng Dehuai said with a smile: "Comrade Zhimin's method is better. This method is advisable. You should try it first." The time for Yang Dezhi's corps to march to Ningxia is set for September. Coming out of the city, Yang Dezhi said to Li Zhimin: "We have to leave in two days. Let's discuss with some upper-level Muslims. How about asking them to guide us and do Ma Hongbin's job at the same time?" ?” "I agree." In the afternoon of the same day, Li Zhimin came forward and invited several upper-class Muslims living in Lanzhou to tell them his thoughts, but in the end these people were unwilling to go to Ningxia for various reasons.

Yang Dezhi was very anxious. He said, "What should we do? They don't want to go with us. It's understandable that they are worried. They are worried about their personal safety. There are indeed risks in Ningxia. They are afraid of Ma Hongkui's behavior!" Li Zhimin said: "There is a person, you can invite him." "who?" "Old Mr. Guo Nanpu, do you remember?" "It's that old Chinese doctor." "Yes, didn't we visit him at his home a few days ago? This man is very prestigious in the Northwest Muslim community, and he has a good relationship with Ma Hongbin and Ma Hongkui. He also expressed his willingness to help us."

"This person can be considered, he is an enlightened person." "Then we'll go get him." "Okay, let's go to town now." Yang Dezhi and Li Zhimin drove to Guo Nanpu's house, and the old man who was nearly seventy years old warmly received them. When Yang Dezhi told him his thoughts, the old man smiled and said: "It is my wish to run for peace. Although I do not have the same surname as Ningxia Erma, I am of the same family and teach. I have had contacts in the past. I would like to return the People's Liberation Army to the army." Tell them the friendship of family and the purpose of serving the country and the people."

Li Zhimin said happily: "The spirit of the old man is commendable. Is it convenient for you to march with us when you are old?" Guo Nanpu patted his chest and said with a smile: "The ancients said: The ambition of a husband is to be strong when poor, and strong when old." After leaving Mr. Guo's house, they immediately reported the situation to Peng Dehuai. Peng Dehuai was a little worried. He said: "Mr. Guo is over 70 years old, and the journey north to Yinchuan is far away. We must ensure his safety, and there must be no problems. You should send someone to protect him." Yang Dezhi said: "President Peng, don't worry, I will send Comrade Zhen Hua, the Liaison Minister, to take people with Mr. Guo, and there will be no problems." "You still have to be careful." On September 2, Yang Dezhi's corps marched towards Ningxia in three directions: left, middle and right. This march was divided into three routes. The left route started from Jingtai, Gansu, and crossed the Yellow River to the north to advance to Ningxia Zhongwei; the middle route marched along the Yellow River to gather in Zhongwei; In autumn, the northwest plateau was a desolate scene. Along the way, our army saw that the people living here had been oppressed by the reactionary government for many years, and lived a miserable life.They were very excited to see the People's Liberation Army, and many volunteered to serve as porters and guides. The enthusiasm for supporting the army that had appeared in the liberated areas before quietly rose here again. This land is poor, and the weather conditions are quite harsh. When the sun comes out, the sun is shining brightly and it is extremely hot, but at night it is still cold and windy.Our soldiers trekked hard on the endless plateau with each person carrying seventy or eighty catties of supplies. Here, they experienced the strange plateau climate that is often said to be wearing fur coats in the morning and gauze in the afternoon, and eating watermelon around the stove. They walked and fought, advancing nervously...Let us understand the real situation of Ningxia's second horse. Let's start with their ancestors. Both of them are descendants of Ma Qianling, their ancestral home is Linxia, ​​Gansu, Hui nationality. Ma Qianling has four sons, the eldest son Ma Fucai, the second son Ma Fulu, the third son Ma Fushou, and the fourth son Ma Fuxiang.Ma Hongbin and Ma Hongkui are the eldest sons of Ma Fulu and Ma Fuxiang respectively. This is a feudal family. At that time, it belonged to the same big family as the Ma Bufang family in Linxia, ​​and they were also the local leaders.In the 21st year of Guangxu, that is, in 1895, when the "Hehuang Incident" occurred in Hezhou (now Linxia) and Xunhua, Gansu Province, brothers Ma Fulu and Ma Fuxiang spontaneously organized the Anning Army to suppress the Hui and Dongxiang uprisings.Later, because of their meritorious service in "suppressing Hui", they were appreciated by the Qing government, and all the troops were incorporated into the "simplified army" by Ma Fuxiang. In 1900, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing, and Ma Fulu and Ma Fuxiang led troops into Beijing to fight.After they fought against the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the two sides were inseparable. Ma Fulu died in the battle at Zhengyangmen in the capital. Although the Majia Hui army transferred from the northwest fought bravely, they were outnumbered and their weapons and equipment were backward. Protect Cixi and Guangxu from fleeing to Xi'an. At this stage, Ma Fuxiang was very loyal to the Qing government and was appreciated by Cixi. ... In 1906, he was appointed by the Qing government as the commander-in-chief of Xining Town. After the Qing government was overthrown, Ma Fuxiang first took refuge in Yuan Shikai, and later met with Mr. Sun Yat-sen to express his support for his Three People's Principles. In the warlord scuffle, he turned to Chiang Kai-shek. In 1924, he became the mayor of Qingdao. In 1930, he was transferred to the chairmanship of Anhui Province, and later became the chairman of the Mongolian and Tibetan Committee of the Central Government of the Kuomintang. He died in Peking in 1932. After Ma Fuxiang died of illness, the two brothers Ma Hongbin and Ma Hongkui fought for personal interests. Later, Ma Hongkui gained the upper hand and became the local emperor of Ningxia. Compared with the two, Ma Hongbin was steady in his affairs and had great prestige in the army, but he was full of bookishness, lacked courage, and was not good at communication.His weakness is exactly Ma Hongkui's strength. When Ma Fuxiang was alive, Ma Hongbin was quite fond of Ma Fuxiang because he was an orphan and lived with his uncle in the army since childhood, but these aroused Ma Hongkui's dissatisfaction. In 1932, Ma Fuxiang acted in front of Chiang Kai-shek, and finally appointed Ma Hongbin as the chairman of the Gansu Provincial Government and Ma Hongkui as the Chairman of the Ningxia Provincial Government. At that time, Ma Hongbin's army was still in Ningxia. After he took office in Gansu, he was ineffective and unable to carry out his work at all. Later, he was driven out by others. Later, he handed over the management of the 81st Army to his son Ma Mourning. Although he held the post of deputy chief of military and political affairs in the Northwest, he never asked about anything. After the liberation of Gansu, Ma Hongkui felt like sitting on pins and needles, but Ma Hongbin was not afraid, refused to cooperate with Ma Hongkui, and went to Suiyuan to test Dong Qiwu's tone in private. When he learned of Dong Qiwu's plan, he also expressed his willingness to consider an uprising. At this time, Ma Hongkui made up his mind to fight the People's Liberation Army in Ningxia. After the liberation of Lanzhou, Ma Hongkui hurriedly dispatched troops and generals, and personally arranged a battle plan to defend Yinchuan. He believed that the original 128th Army and 11th Army under his command were not strong enough, so he collected some soldiers from Ma Bufang and temporarily formed an army named Helan Army.Why is it called this name, he said to everyone at the inaugural meeting: "This is taken from General Yue Fei's "Manjianghong" which means 'to break through the barriers of Helan Mountain', which is of great historical significance. This means that if we fail in the future, we can still go to Helan Mountain to fight guerrillas." Yang Dezhi's Corps was approaching them. Ma Hongkui assembled his troops to fight against Yang Dezhi's Corps. He handed over all the command power to his son Ma Dunjing. The deployment of his troops is as follows: The 128th Army will defend the entire Hedong line. Defend the city of Yinchuan with the 11th Army. Use the Helan army to defend Hexi and Ningshuo. Although he has made up his mind to be an enemy of the people, he is also a person who is very afraid of death. He recommended his son as the commander of the Ningxia Corps, and he has made plans to flee Ningxia. When he left, he summoned senior officials of the provincial government and cadres above the army regiment to the conference room of the provincial government and said: "We in Ningxia will follow the example of Yan Xishan in Taiyuan. If we resist to the end, we will lose everything, and we will not hesitate to do so. How about Yan Xishan, he will eventually become the chief executive!" At this time someone asked: "I heard that General Fu Zuoyi of the Peking Uprising has arrived in Suiyuan?" Ma Hongkui waved his big hand and said: "This is impossible. What kind of uprising is he called? He has already been guarded by the Communist Party. How can he have such freedom?" People stopped talking.He went on to say: "We in Ningxia will fight the communist army to the end by using the method of burning everything, burning everything, and releasing water." At this time, some people discussed in private that the discipline of the venue was very bad. Ma Hongkui knocked on the table with his hands and said majesticly: "Don't have any illusions about the Communist Party. Their relatives don't recognize it. What's more, you and I have been with me for decades. Can they let them go? Absolutely not. Yang Dezhi's troops will fight when they come, no There is room for negotiation. We should release water and burn warehouses in all the places we are going to abandon, and resist steadily until the army is finished fighting. We must control the airport so that we can send planes to pick you up in the future. When setting fire in Yinchuan City, first Starting from the burning of my mansion, I must not leave anything useful to the communist army, and let them take the mess." Ma Hongkui mentioned that Fu Zuoyi had indeed arrived in Suiyuan, and he talked with him on the phone just before the meeting. The reason why he lied was because he was afraid of shaking the morale of the army. At that time, Fu Zuoyi said to him on the phone: "I came to Suiyuan this time to organize an uprising entrusted by Mao Zedong. You should think about it. It is impossible to fight now. The national government is over. I hope you can hold high the banner of righteousness." Ma Hongkui said: "This is impossible. I will fight the Communist Army to the end." Fu Zuoyi asked: "If you go on like this, there will only be a dead end. You should be more sensible." "I'm not sensible." "Then what benefits can Mr. Jiang give you?" "I am a soldier, and soldiers have the responsibility to defend the country. I am just doing my duty as a soldier, and I must continue to fight." "Do you really want to fight?" "Yes, one shot after another, one shot after another." "What if I can't fight?" "Let's go!" "Will you leave or not?" "Die!" Fu Zuoyi was very angry.Ma Hongkui laughed, and said to Army Commander Lu Zhongliang beside him: "You see, Fu Zuoyi himself surrendered to the communist army, and he wanted to seduce me into being fooled too, so I won't do it! In all fairness, the Communist Party would never do what I did. If you let it go, you will still die if you surrender.” Ma Hongkui was still worried about the military affairs. One day, he called Lu Zhongliang, commander of the 128th Army, Ma Guangzong, commander of the 11th Army, Ma Quanliang, commander of the Helan Army, Ma Baolin and Ma Yingcai, to his home and confessed: "You have been with me for many years, and this time you have to do your best. If the communist army comes, you must resist to the end, and you must not surrender. I will send people to Sichuan as soon as possible for your family members. Don't have any worries. The key I'll send a plane to pick you up sometime." His son sat there without speaking. Lu Zhongliang asked: "Is the old officer going to take a step first?" Ma Hongkui said: "Chairman Chiang has sent telegrams several times, urging me to go to Chongqing to discuss the state affairs. I have been reluctant to go, but it is not good if I don't go now. I plan to take a few people there in a few days. You all stay here." , together with Dun Jing to deal with the communist army, I will be back soon." Ma Dunjing stood up and said to everyone: "We have to make a battle plan, otherwise we will be in a hurry." So they rushed to speak, all expressing that they would live and die with Yinchuan. Finally, four resolutions were passed under Ma Dunjing's proposal: (1) Destroy the Qingtongxia Highway and occupy the Niutoushan position. (2) Carry out Ma Hongkui's arson plan when necessary. (3) Each guards the line of defense and resolutely resists. (4) Readjust the organizational system of each army, that is, the two regiments led by Wang Youlu of the Helan Army will be under the command of Lu Zhongliang of the 128th Army. In fact, Meng Baoshan, the original traffic director of Ma Hongkui, appointed by the Communist Party, had already come to Yinchuan to work for Ma Hongkui and his son. During the Anti-Japanese War, he left Ma Hongkui to live in Xi'an and had a lot of affection for the Communist Party. He came to Ningxia alone when he was in Lanzhou. The decisive battle has not yet started, and Ma Hongkui and his son have no idea about the future of the Northwest. They just express their unwillingness to cooperate with Ma Bufang. As for the matter of peace, it is impossible for them to think about it. It was the middle and late August.Ma Hongkui flew to Guangzhou, and his second son Ma Dunjing was in charge of Ningxia temporarily. Meng Baoshan was like a beggar when he came to Yinchuan through hardships. That night he came to visit Ma Hongkui's house.Ma Dunjing was not very friendly to him, and said coldly: "What are you doing now, it's not peaceful here, aren't you a boss in Xi'an?" Meng Baoshan said: "The army commander doesn't know something. I have had a bad life in the past few years." "Then what are you doing here?" "Ask for a meal." "Then let's stay here first. In my opinion, you are not just begging for food?" "The army commander is right. To tell you the truth, I am here for your future." "Is it ordered by the Communist Army?" "That's right." "It's good to have peace, but I can't make the decision. The old shopkeeper has gone to Guangzhou. Let's talk about it when he comes back." "Can." "I have to make a request to you." "Speaking." "You have done a lot for us. My father has always cared about you. We welcome you, regardless of your status. But whether we will negotiate peace with the Communist Army in the future, you must keep it a secret and never let outsiders know. You There are many acquaintances here, but I advise you not to walk around indiscriminately, so as not to cause disputes and end badly." "I will do it." Meng Baoshan returned to the hotel for several days, but there was still no news of Ma Hongkui. After waiting for two more days, Ma Hongkui finally came back, but he closed the door to thank the guests and did not receive anyone.His son Ma Dunjing told him about Meng Baoshan's arrival, and he said, "What is he doing here at this time? I don't want to see him." "It's better to see you some time." "Let's talk about it in a few days." That night, Zhao Jinxi, a councilor of the Ningxia Provincial Government, came to the hotel to visit Meng Baoshan. They were old friends and talked about everything. Meng Baoshan said, "Brother Zhao, Chairman Ma has returned. I really want to see him. Can you help me?" ?” "No, I can't speak, let my son do it." "Has there been any movement with them recently?" "Chairman Ma called the three army commanders to his home for a meeting this morning." "What is the study?" "It's not clear." "It must be a matter of defense." The next day, Yang Zhenwu, director of the Ningxia government's communications department, came to inform Meng Baoshan that Chairman Ma wanted to see him.Meng Baoshan followed him to a secret room in Ma Hongkui's mansion, where Ma Hongkui was already sitting. Meng Baoshan came up to shake hands with Ma Hongkui: "How is the old man?" Ma Hongkui said: "My health is not good, thank you for coming to see me." Meng Baoshan saw that Ma Hongkui didn't look sick. His face was rosy, his figure was bloated, and he had obviously gained weight. However, his temples were covered with hoarfrost, and his old style remained the same. After sitting down, Ma Hongkui asked, "We haven't seen each other for several years, why have you become so dark and thin?" "I'm running around for a living." "War chaos, it's not easy for everyone." "Comrade Zhao Pilian asked me to bring you a letter." "Really? Where is he now?" "In Xi'an." "He just can't stay idle. The Communist Party speaks highly of him, saying he is a patriotic democrat. This person has a deep personal relationship with me in the past, and I haven't had any contact with him in the past two years." Meng Baoshan took out a leather envelope from his coat pocket and handed it to Ma Hongkui. Of course, this letter represented the position of the Communist Party, and it also commented on Ma Hongkui's right and wrong.Ma Hongkui looked at it several times, and his face gradually changed. He looked at Meng Baoshan and said: "Look at this matter. The Communist Party has a lot of prejudice against me. How can I be a war criminal? Also, the content of this "Domestic Peace Agreement" is too harsh. The Nanjing government didn't sign it. How can I express my opinion? It's not my business either." "There are many war criminals designated by the Communist Party. You are not the only one. As far as I know, most of the senior government and military officials are among them." "You are well aware that in the 25th year of the Republic of China, when the Communist Party's vanguard approached Yanchi and Yuwang, I retreated to Jin and Ling, and did not engage in direct conflict with them." "But then you fought them anyway." "Who is the provocateur? I don't want to say more." "Hu Zongnan fought against the communist army in Shaanxi, you should not have participated." "I can't say that. From aiding Baotou, Yulin, and Xi'an, I have no choice but to do it. I am not an initiative. You know some things. Can I still be listed as a war criminal like others?" "Chairman Ma, don't take the word 'war criminal' too seriously. Fu Zuoyi is also a war criminal, but he is not only not a war criminal now, but he has also become a friend of the Communist Party. General Cheng Qian, who rebelled recently, was also a war criminal. Now the Communist Party is also fighting with him. He became friends. Chairman Fu and Cheng are incomparable in terms of status in the Northwest and special influence among the Hui people. In terms of your words and deeds against the Communist Party, Chairman Chairman, you are not as active as Fu and Cheng. So, as long as you The chairman made an uprising statement today, the Communist Party’s evaluation of the chairman must be higher than that of Fu and Cheng, what kind of war criminals can we talk about?” Ma Hongkui was thoughtful, he sat there silently, stroked his forehead with one hand, held a cigarette in the other, and stopped talking. After a while, he looked at Meng Baoshan and said, "As for the peace talks, let us discuss it slowly. You live first." "Chairman, there is an emergency in Lanzhou recently. It is rumored that you will send troops to help?" "That's not the case, both sides are fighting." Ma Hongkui had already stood up, Meng Baoshan couldn't sit down any longer, so he also stood up and asked, "Chairman, what should we do with Zhao Pilian's letter?" "I'll write him back and answer." "He has gone to Tianjin now." "It's hard to contact?" "Alright, but I think you might as well write a letter to Yang Dezhi, Commander of the 19th Corps of the People's Liberation Army, which is worse than Zhao Pilian." "Let me think about it. It's okay to write a letter." He sent Meng Baoshan out of the room, and said, "You stay here first, and I will talk to you about anything." Meng Baoshan came out of Ma Hongkui's mansion and stopped by to see his old friend Yang Qianqing.This person is Ma Hongkui's major general counselor, and he can be regarded as a veteran. Walking into Senator Yang's house, it happened that brothers Ma Dunjing and Ma Dunhou were also here.They sat together and said a few polite words to each other, and then talked about the situation in Lanzhou. Meng Baoshan asked: "I heard that after the attack in Lanzhou, you will lead your troops to support it?" Ma Dunjing said: "There is no such consideration yet." "Then is it possible to send troops in the future!" "have no idea." Yang Qianqing interjected: "Now there are quite a few troops in Lanzhou City. Ma Bufang and his son can hold on for a while." Within a few days, Meng Baoshan learned that Ma Hongkui was preparing to send troops into Lanzhou to fight, and that an army had already arrived in Haiyuan County.Meng Baoshan was very anxious. He thought that if Ma Hongkui's troops went to Lanzhou to participate in the decisive battle, the war would continue to expand and the peace talks would be impossible, so he hurried into Ma Hongkui's mansion to persuade: "Chairman, think twice! Now the target of the People's Liberation Army's attack is Ma Bufang and his son. It's not good for you to go!" Ma Hongkui said: "There is no way, this is an order from the central government." "Ma Bufang is not easy to mess with. He will take the opportunity to send your troops to the communist army." "I'm not Gua Wa either! Whether to continue driving in or not, let's wait and see." "Your troops had better not go." "why?" "If Lanzhou is in an emergency, the Ningxia Corps can only ease the situation. This is temporary." "What if Ma Bufang defends Lanzhou?" "It's impossible. If he keeps it, it's impossible to save the situation in the Northwest battlefield. How about Taiyuan? It's so strong, but it was finally captured by the People's Liberation Army." Ma Hongkui sat there silent. Meng Baoshan continued: "Have you ever thought about it, once the communist army advances from Pingliang and Guyuan and cuts off our connection between Ningxia and Lanzhou, the losses will be even greater, and the chairman's strength has been dispersed." "The central government called me many times to force me to send troops. It's very difficult!" "It can be delayed. The consequences of your supporting Lanzhou are not good. If you have no soldiers to supplement, you will weaken your own strength. Third, you will offend the communist army. Fourth, you will lose the opportunity to negotiate peace with the communist army. At that time, you want to match Suiyuan , I'm afraid it's too late." "Let's talk about this later." "Chairman, where is the aid to Lanzhou now?" "On the way." "Is that so?" "Don't worry about me, you will know in two days." After Ma Hongkui finished speaking, he looked at Meng Baoshan and laughed.Meng Baoshan understood that he was going to order the troops to stop advancing. The troops did not move in, but Ma Hongkui still took a wait-and-see attitude towards peace. Ma Bufang and his son lost Lanzhou and both fled, which shocked Ma Hongkui a lot. He also had the idea of ​​fleeing Ningxia. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek sent Xu Yongchang and Qin Dechun to Yinchuan suddenly to take him back to Chongqing. At this time, an army of Yang Dezhi's corps had entered Ningxia, and many people called for peace, but Ma Hongkui said with a straight face: "Don't be afraid. I'm not afraid of the Communist Party's toughness. I can deal with the softness. Don't worry, I will deal with the current situation together with everyone." His fourth aunt Liu Muxia also flew back from Hong Kong.She was the person Ma Hongkui sent to Hong Kong to transfer property a month ago. According to her, everything was done in Hong Kong and the house was bought. Ma Hongkui was determined to leave Yinchuan, and he said to his son Ma Dunjing, "I'm leaving, you can stay and support for a few days, and your elder brother will leave after a few days." "what about me?" "Let's go at the end. Now that we're all gone, people's hearts will be in turmoil, and it's hard to explain to Generalissimo Jiang." "The Communist Party is still interested in peace talks." "You can't surrender, you have to fight to the end." "Now that Ma Hongbin has frequent contacts with the Communist Party, if you leave, he will stand up and win over the army." "I will greet the officers of each army. You and Lu Zhongliang are in charge of the affairs of the Ningxia Corps, and no one else can interfere. As for his army, let him go." "It would be great if he could be mobilized away, but trouble will arise if he stays." "Chairman Jiang also meant the same thing. You send someone to tell him that I'm leaving and ask him to go with him." After a while, Ma Hongbin's son came.Ma Hongkui said: "The current situation is unstable. I want to ask your father to leave here with me. I don't know what his opinion is." "Father doesn't want to go!" "What's wrong?" "He said that he was old and his family was heavy, so he left Ningxia to go to other places, and life would be difficult in the future." "What are you afraid of? I am here." "He still doesn't want to leave. He said that no one would welcome him in Hong Kong or Taiwan." "We are brothers, and the past grievances and grievances have been wiped out. I am very sad if he does not leave. How can I leave you here? You go back and persuade him. It is better to leave." "You are the highest official here, and you can't leave. What should you do if you leave?" "Send a full gift to the communist army. I don't advocate peace talks, but I don't want to fight anymore." September 1 morning. A large number of military and political officials came to Ma Hongkui's mansion.Meng Baoshan came to see him off when he heard that he was going to leave. There were many people here. Ma Hongkui was going to take his young and beautiful sixth aunt away. Ma Hongkui got angry. He said, "Why are you crying? I'm going to a meeting and I'll be back in a few days. Why are you all following me?" These women are relatively simple, and after believing this, they stopped messing around. Meng Baoshan squeezed in from the crowd and wanted to talk to Ma Hongkui, but there were so many people that he couldn't get through.I had no choice but to back out and talk to Yang Qianqing who was standing at the door: "How can Chairman Ma leave?" Yang Qianqing said: "You don't understand the situation. Chairman Jiang heard that he was negotiating peace with the Communist Party. He was afraid that he would unite with Suiyuan to revolt, so he sent Xu Yongchang and Qin Dechun to monitor him. Today, a plane suddenly flew over to take them back. , he had to go." At this time Ma Hongkui had come out of the room and was about to get into the car. Meng Baoshan hurried over and said, "Chairman Ma, you..." Ma Hongkui interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Discuss everything with Dun Jing." The car drove straight to the airport. Before boarding the plane, Ma Hongkui checked the luggage himself, and suddenly said to his nephew Ma Zhenyu, "Go back with the driver and fetch the urinal left by your mother-in-law." Ma Zhenyu didn't want to go, and said, "What's so rare about a rotten urinal." "Asshole! Go get it for me." Ma Zhenyu had no choice but to take a car to get it. Everyone got on the plane and had to wait. Why did Ma Hongkui take the urinal left by his mother with him when he ran away?People may say that he is a filial son and wants to keep it as a souvenir.In fact, this urinal is unusual. It was specially made by the Provincial Finance Department for 65 taels of gold when Ma Hongkui's mother celebrated her 65th birthday.Of course it is very valuable, how could Ma Hongkui not want it. People watched the plane take off, gradually leave Ningxia, and fly towards Chongqing. Ma Hongkui, the warlord who had ruled Ningxia for decades, ended his rule of this land in such a mess.The plane passed through the clouds, and Ma Hongkui saw from the window that his hometown Ningxia had been liberated. He burst into tears and said to his 18-year-old aunt who was sitting next to him: "I am already half-buried in loess, and I see that I have lost the foundation created by our ancestors. Hezhou is my hometown, and I can't go back now. It is impossible to return to Ningxia. ..." After Ma Hongkui left, Mr. Meng Baoshan, who was running for peace, found Ma Dunjing again and said: "The chairman said before leaving, let me talk to you." Ma Dunjing's attitude changed drastically, and he said: "What are you talking about? The Kuomintang agents already know you are here, and they are planning to take you to Chongqing. I advise you to leave here as soon as possible and go back to the liberated area, lest the agents do harm to me." "If I don't leave, things are not settled." "Then let's go talk to Ma Xiaoyun, I don't have time."
