Chapter 46 4. Guo Nanpu, the old man of peace, went to Ningxia to persuade Ma Hongbin to revolt

An army of the vanguard has entered the border of Ningxia. Mr. Guo Nanpu is ready to leave. There are four people who originally planned to go to work on the second horse this time. Besides Mr. Guo, there are also Ma Xiwu, Wang Yanhan, and Pei Jianhuai.They had deep friendship with the two horses in the past, and they were influential Muslim figures in the northwest region, but the latter three were unwilling to go.In the end, Ma Shouli, Ma Hongdao and others could only be allowed to accompany Mr. Guo one step ahead. Before leaving, Comrade Zhen Hua of the 19th Corps said to them: "You are going this time mainly to do Ma Hongbin's work. It would be better if they can make peace immediately. Even if they don't want to make peace now, after our PLA fights, They will make peace, and we must win over them no matter what. Comrade Ma Shouli can publicize his own experience and what he has seen and heard about our PLA, and the effect will be better."

Ma Shouli was originally the magistrate of Zhongning County of the Kuomintang. In April 1949, Peng Dehuai's troops led the county's self-defense force to revolt as soon as they entered the northwest.Later, he actively participated in the work and became a cadre of the Communist Party.He also has a personal relationship with Ningxia Erma. He stated: "Please rest assured, chief, I will use my three-inch tongue to talk them through this time." "Very good. When you arrive in Ningxia, you can write a letter to Mr. Peng in the name of Mr. Guo to report the work situation. In addition, you need to strengthen contact with our troops."

They drove towards Ningxia by car under the escort of the People's Liberation Army... At this time, Yang Dezhi was walking on the Loess Plateau with the troops, and when he entered a small county, it was already dark.Yang Dezhi said to the staff around him: "We rest where we are, but we can't occupy residential houses. We and the heads of several corps don't go to the city, so we can live in this ruined temple on the outskirts of the city." Yang Dezhi walked into the temple, spread out a map to look at, and a guard ran in to report: "Chief, there is a Kuomintang officer outside who wants to see you."

Yang Dezhi was surprised and asked, "What's his name!" "He didn't say anything, he just said that you knew him." "Then invite him in." A man in his 40s, wearing a tattered military uniform, without any weapons, and unkempt, came in behind the guards. When he saw Yang Dezhi suddenly plopped down on his knees, he said, "Are you Mr. Yang? My benefactor." !" Yang Dezhi looked at him, feeling familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen him.He took a step forward, supported him and said, "Our Communist Party is for the benefit of the people. Why do you kneel down to me? Get up and talk."

The man stood up, his legs were still trembling, and said, "You are really Mr. Yang. Don't you remember me?" "You are……" "My name is Ma Dianbang. I am the commander of the 179th Regiment of the 81st Division. I was captured by you in Longdong the year before last, and you released me later." Yang Dezhi remembered. This man was originally from Ma Hongbin's army. After he was captured, Peng Dehuai personally met him. He was deeply moved. Peng Dehuai said to him: "We are going to release all the officers of Ma Hongbin's army. You go first." Later he wrote a letter to Ma Hongbin asking He took it back.

Ma Diobang was only worried that the Communist Party would kill him, but he didn't expect that he would be kind to him and would let him go back. He had no choice but to say, "Sir, let me stay." "You go back, when Lanzhou is liberated, you can lead your troops to revolt." "I will revolt." "In addition, you tell Ma Hongbin that you are still detaining more than a dozen of us in Zhongning County, let him release you." "I'll try to let them go." Peng Dehuai sent him to the door, and said: "Your chief Ma Hongbin is a good man. We were in Tongxin County during the Long March, and the local people said he was a good man."

Xi Zhongxun came back from the outside and said to Ma Diobang: "Go back and say hello to Ma Hongbin for me. We still had friendship in the past." He returned to Ningxia with the travel expenses issued by the People's Liberation Army. Ma Hongbin did not blame him, and released more than a dozen Communist Party members who were detained within a few days. Of course, his understanding of the Communist Party was true. He heard that Peng Dehuai's troops had entered Ningxia, so he left the barracks alone and secretly came to see Yang Dezhi. Yang Dezhi sat him down on the plank bed and asked, "What is Captain Ma doing now?"

"Still in the team." "Which unit is it?" "It's still Ma Hongbin's army." "Any job?" "Be the commander of the 35th division." "Where do you live now?" "In the Guyuan area." "Then we're going to fight again!" "Don't dare, I will never beat you, I am ready to revolt." "Very well, but don't move now, we will contact you later." "I will definitely listen to you." Ma Dianbang talked to Yang Dezhi about the situation of the Ningxia garrison, and then rode away on a tall horse.

Meng Baoshan, who came from Xi'an to work for Ma Hongkui and his son, left Ningxia due to spies. He came to the Ningxia Security Headquarters, found Ma Xiaoyun, the deputy commander, and said: "The old chief is gone. He suggested that I talk to Ma Dun quietly, but he doesn't want to talk. What do you think should I do?" Ma Xiaoyun took him to a hut and said: "You! You have grown a few heads, and now the rumors are very bad. The spies placed here by Chiang Kai-shek are arresting you. Why are you looking for me? We are old friends, political opinions It doesn't matter if you disagree, get out of here quickly."

"I don't want to leave. Isn't the peace talk fruitless?" "Let's see, now that the Communist army has overwhelmed the border, the old officer has not yet moved to a safe place. Even though he has arrived in Chongqing, Ma Dunjing is still worried about his safety. The Kuomintang gang and your Communist Party's underground work there Those who dare to guarantee that they will not find trouble with Ma Hongkui, it is hard to say!" "Then what do you say?" "We can sign a secret agreement first, don't make it public, and tell the communist army not to march into Ningxia. When Ma Hongkui gets news, everything will be easy to talk about."

"Maybe it's hard to say!" "why?" "Didn't you say that Ma Hongkui was brought to Chongqing by someone sent by Chiang Kai-shek? How could he dare to order his son to revolt while he was there?" "Yes!" "It's impossible for the People's Liberation Army not to enter Ningxia. If you don't talk about peace, if the two sides fight, what else are you talking about?" "Then we are not afraid. As the saying goes, if a dog jumps over a wall in a hurry, we will come to a scorched earth to resist, open up the water in various canals, turn Ningxia into a vast ocean, and the troops will be broken up to fight guerrillas. At this time, even if the Communist army occupies Ningxia ruins." "What good will that do you?" "This is what the old shopkeeper told me when he left." Meng Baoshan was very angry and went to find Ma Dunjing again. Ma Dunjing's attitude was very bad. He said: "What else are you talking about? I don't want to start a war, but now our troops in Tongxin County are retreating steadily, and the vanguard of the Communist Army is pressing forward. This is not a sincere peace talk, it is Political conspiracy." "Now that your attitude is not clear, how can the Communist Army not move?" "Peace talks are of no use to us." "No, peace talks are good for your troops and the people of Ningxia." "Is that right?" "We can analyze the situation. Now the communist army has reached the south, and there is only Ningxia in the northwest. What is the way out if we don't take the road of peace. Are you willing to let Ningxia be destroyed by war?" Ma Dunjing's mood is capricious, he keeps smoking, it can be seen that he is also very contradictory.A beautiful woman with lipstick came in. She was very young. She brought two cups of green tea and showed no intention of leaving.Ma Dunjing winked, and she left. "Let me think about it again." Ma Dunjing drank tea. "We can't delay any longer." Meng Baoshan looked at him and said, "If we tentatively formulate a specific method, the PLA's military advance will stop." "What's your plan?" "I can first explain to Zeng Siyu, commander of Yang Dezhi's 64th Army, that the Ningxia Corps was and still is unwilling to fight the People's Liberation Army. At present, the two sides suspend military operations and do not invade each other. Once Chairman Ma returns to Ningxia, we will study the two sides' signature .” "It can be done. You and Ma Xiaoyun will be responsible for the connection between the PLA and Ningxia in the future." "We've agreed." "It's a deal, you will go tomorrow and go to the Tongxin area to contact the communist army." September 13. Meng Baoshan took a car to Tongxin County alone. The weather was bad, drizzling, and the road was muddy. The car drove very slowly. After walking for about 3 hours, he heard gunshots when he entered Majiahe Bend. After a while, Ma Dunjing's several cavalry regiments withdrew from the front. An officer said: "The car can no longer move forward, the communist army has already attacked." The driver turned around and ran away, so Meng Baoshan had no choice but to get out of the car and walk forward on foot.After a while, a car came from behind, and he stopped him. He stepped forward and asked whether several peace negotiating representatives sent by Ma Hongbin and his son were going to contact the People's Liberation Army. Meng Baoshan knew them, so he got into the car and walked forward together. An hour later, we met the vanguard regiment of the People's Liberation Army. So they stopped advancing and entered a small village, where they waited for the head of the 64th Army.At this time, Mr. Guo Nanpu and his party from Lanzhou also came here.They all came for peace. Several of them knew each other in the past, and they were very excited when they sat together. Meng Baoshan asked Mr. Guo Nanpu: "Have Ning been to your old man's home?" "I just came back from there and I'm going to report the situation to the chief of the People's Liberation Army." "What's Ma Hongbin's attitude?" "The uprising has been agreed. Where are you?" "It's hard to describe!" "What's wrong?" "Ma Hongkui has already run away, Ma Dunjing's attitude is ambiguous!" "There is a process of ideological transformation. Ma Hongbin and his son also had concerns at the time. When I saw him, he said to me, what are you talking about? The vanguard of the People's Liberation Army has already dispersed one of my regiments. How can this be explained? I don't want to fight." "It seems that he also has resentment." "yes." "What did he say in the end?" "Of course he is at peace. You may not know that he flew to Suiyuan to look for Dong Qiwu for peace in the previous stage." "They're an old relationship." Before the head of the 64th Army arrived, they talked about the friendship between Ma Hongbin and Dong Qiwu together. It turned out that on the second day after Guo Nanpu arrived in Zhongning, Ma Hongbin flew to Suiyuan to discuss the uprising with Fu Zuoyi, Dong Qiwu, and Deng Baoshan. He said: "You are revolting here, and I am also planning to lead my army to revolt. Recently, Mr. Guo Nanpu, the representative of the Communist Party, talked with me. Now the Kuomintang has been defeated, and there is no hope." Dong Qiwu said: "It's very good. There is a way out if you go to the light. I also had concerns at the time, but now I have figured it out." "I've thought about it." "Not only do you want to lead your army to revolt, but you also need to do the work of Ma Dunjing. He is your nephew, so he might listen." "The baby has grown up, it's hard to say whether he will listen to me or not. I have no relationship with his father and son." "Let's just do the work." "I'll go back and try." Ma Hongbin came back and sent someone to look for Ma Dunjing, but Ma Dunjing said: "I will take care of our troops, don't let him worry about it." Ma Hongbin could only shake his head and said, "If he doesn't listen to me, he will die without a place to bury him. Can his little soldiers resist the communist army? I really don't know how deep it is. It's his father who ruined the baby's future..." There was another burst of gunfire, and the head of the 64th Army came. Army Commander Zeng Siyu and Deputy Political Commissar Fu Chongbi received them. Commander Zeng smiled and said to Guo Nanpu: "I already knew you were here, it's really hard work." Guo Nanpu said: "It's my wish to run for peace, and it's not hard work." "What happened to Ma Hongbin?" "He has agreed to peace talks." "Why did you still send troops to prevent our army from advancing after agreeing to the peace talks? Still trying to buy time?" "No, they said that his troops will never fight the People's Liberation Army. His 81st Army is commanded by his son and has been ordered to stand by." "Why don't they come and sign an agreement with us?" "It's being prepared." "Then I have to ask you to go to Zhongning again and tell them that if they revolt, I will guarantee the safety of the lives and properties of the officers and soldiers of the 81st Army and their families. We mean what we say, and my troops can stay here temporarily to wait for their reply." Zeng Siyu turned to Meng Baoshan and said, "You have worked hard too. I heard that Ma Hongkui has escaped. Has Ma Dunjing's attitude changed?" Meng Baoshan said: "It is still unclear, but he agreed not to fight with you for the time being, so that you can stop going forward and sit down and talk." "Still playing tricks! We are not afraid." Meng Baoshan went on to say: "He meant to procrastinate on purpose. I talked with Ma Hongkui once, and he also said that he could negotiate peace, but he left in the end. Ma Dunjing has always insisted that you stop moving forward. When Ma Hongkui reaches a safe place, he will sign with you. agreement." "What is the attitude of all walks of life in Ningxia?" "Most people are in favor of a peaceful uprising, and several high-level military officials have also been persuaded, but Madonnaj's position is not clear." "It is a conspiracy that he asked us to sign a non-aggression agreement with him. If it drags on, he will be responsible for the consequences." "Yes, he also told me about the plan to release water to resist, burn Ningxia to scorched earth, break up the troops into pieces, and run around to fight guerrillas. He said this a few days ago." "We are not afraid, you go talk to him again." Fu Chongbi said: "Old Meng, you and Mr. Guo go to Zhongning County to contact the Ningxia authorities of the Kuomintang for peace talks. Today our troops are living in the area of ​​Dahonggou and Majiawan." Ma Yangzhai stood up suddenly and said: "Please don't go any further. Ma Dunjing's troops are still capable of fighting. Didn't he surround one of your divisions in Lanzhou a while ago?" What he said immediately angered Army Commander Zeng Siyu. He was quite angry and stood up and said, "Lao Meng, when you return to Zhongning with this representative, you must immediately notify the Ningxia authorities and tell them that our 64th Army is going to Entering Zhongning County, if they don't come out, we must fight in." The atmosphere became tense, and Zeng Siyu was also young and energetic, and seemed impatient with the peace talks. Meng Baoshan said in surprise: "Please don't be angry, Commander Zeng, let's allow some time for the peace talks, and don't go into the city today." Commander Zeng smoked with his face hanging.Mr. Guo Nanpu turned to his fellow Ma Yangzhai and said, "You are just talking nonsense. Is the People's Liberation Army still afraid of Ma Dunjing? They had to postpone the advance, all for the sake of peace." Ma Yangzhai fell silent.But Zeng Siyu still did not express his opinion. Fu Chongbi, who was sitting next to him, went on to say: "Older Guo said it well. If we want to fight, can Ma Dunjing hold on? We are for the benefit of the entire Ningxia people. How about it, you should go." , the original plan remains unchanged, we will not move temporarily, waiting for your news." He turned to look at Zeng Siyu again and said, "How about it? Old Zeng, let's do it this way." Zeng Siyu nodded: "Yes." After eating, they left in a car, and all troops of the People's Liberation Army stopped advancing. Ma Hongbin's troops had already left Zhongning and marched to Wei County on the north bank of the Yellow River. When they arrived in Zhongning County in the afternoon, it was already an empty city. It turned out that Ma Hongbin's cavalry troops also hurriedly withdrew from the county after Ma Hongbin's 81st Army withdrew. Meng Baoshan asked Mr. Guo Nanpu: "Mr. Guo, they all ran away. What should I do? Who should I contact?" Guo Nanpu asked: "Is the phone damaged?" "I don't know." "Hurry up and send someone to take a look. We can only go to Yinchuan directly. Of course there is no problem with Ma Hongbin's troops. The key is Ma Dunjing's side." A company commander who did not escape brought Meng Baoshan into the compound of the county government. After a long time of effort, the call was finally connected.He asked, "Which one in Yinchuan are you looking for?" Meng Baoshan said: "First, we need to guard the headquarters, and I want to talk to Commander Ma Xiaoyun." After the phone call was made, Ma Xiaoyun had no say in the matter of the peace talks. He said, "Although the army commander has explained this matter, he has not explained it clearly. How can I make the decision?" "Then call Ma Dunjing and tell him that Mr. Guo Nanpu and his party from Lanzhou are also here. I hope he can hold high the banner of uprising." Within a few minutes, Ma Dunjing was found.He asked on the phone: "How is the talk, where are they now, are they still moving?" Meng Baoshan said: "I talked with Commander Zeng of the 64th Army, and they agreed to temporarily delay the advance. Now the troops are all in the Dahonggou area and have not moved. They hope you can have a clear answer." "I heard Mr. Guo is here too?" "Yes, right here." "Well, you come to Yinchuan with him, let's talk about it." "The People's Liberation Army is still waiting for an answer." "Send someone to tell Commander Zeng that I hope they will live in the Dahonggou area temporarily. If there is no food, we can send food. We can't move forward in the near future, otherwise the two regiments I stayed in Zhongning will resist. " After Ma Dunjing finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Meng Baoshan said to Guo Nanpu: "The situation is not good! He is still so stubborn, and he said that the two regiments here will resist. He is still dreaming. His troops have already abandoned the city and fled. What is the resistance?" "You should make your words clear and tell him to send peace representatives quickly. We will wait for them." "It's impossible, he won't send someone for a while." "We have no choice but to go to Yinchuan." "it's the only way." "Then you write a letter to Commander Zeng and send someone to deliver it immediately, and tell him that there are no guards in Zhongning, and we have decided to go to Yinchuan tomorrow." Before dark, Meng Baoshan sent someone to drive to Dahonggou to deliver a letter to the PLA.Guo Nanpu said to him: "Tomorrow we will leave at dawn. The road is full of Ma Dunjing's guards. You'd better communicate with Ma Xiaoyun in Yinchuan and ask him to tell the guards along the way not to stop our car." Meng Baoshan got in touch with Ma Xiaoyun from Yinchuan again, and the two parties agreed to put a small white flag on the car they were riding as a sign that they could pass the checkpoint smoothly. In the early morning of the next day, they set off again, but the light rain started again, and the road was still difficult to walk. It was almost dusk before they arrived in Yinchuan. Ma Tingxiu, Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, came forward to receive them. They were arranged in the provincial guest house, and no one came to see them. In fact, Ma Dunjing had put them under house arrest.Meng Baoshan asked to see Ma Xiaoyun, but he also hid. Mr. Guo was even more anxious and kept complaining, asking him to find Ma Dunjing, but where would he find him?They couldn't even get out of the compound, and there were guards standing at the gate. When they were in a hurry, Ma Hongbin came to see them at noon. Ma Hongbin was dressed in casual clothes and glasses, resembling a scholar.He smiled and said: "You have worked hard all the way, and the peace talks are easy to talk about. I have already talked with Mr. Guo. My son's army uprising is not a problem. It has withdrawn from the battlefield. When the two sides sign an agreement, it will be decided by the PLA." Guo Nanpu said: "Your opinion has been conveyed to the People's Liberation Army, and they agreed. Now Ma Dunjing's Ningxia Corps has many problems. What do you think should be done?" Ma Hongbin said: "I have no contact with their father and son. Isn't Lao Meng dealing with them all the time? What is Dun Jing's attitude?" Meng Baoshan told him Ma Dunjing's request to the People's Liberation Army. Ma Hongbin said: "There is still progress!" Guo Nanpu said: "I came here for peace, but he, a young man, didn't show up. In my opinion, he is insincere and will miss a big deal. I understand the style of the PLA. They don't take the strength of the Ningxia Corps at all. Put it in my eyes. I have seen that army commander surnamed Zeng, and he is also very hot-tempered. If he fails, he will really fight. I'd like you to come forward and do Ma Dunjing's work, after all, you are his elder." Ma Hongbin shook his head and said: "I have had deep conflicts with his father these past few years, and we have not had much contact with each other. But before he left, he was still worried that I would annex his army and asked me to go with him. I am so old, why should I go? Those people from the Kuomintang government don’t look good, so I won’t take that kind of anger.” Guo Nanpu smiled and said, "Your old man is wise. It's right not to go. The Communist Party is also trustworthy." All three laughed, and Ma Hongbin seemed to be very talkative. He told Meng Baoshan his history for a while, and finally said: "I can go to Dun Jing's work. Mr. Guo is getting old. Let's rest here first, and you will come back tomorrow." Zhongning made a trip to tell the People's Liberation Army to stop their troop advance, and my peace negotiating representative will arrive shortly thereafter." That afternoon, Ma Hongbin and Guo Nanpu entered Ma Dunjing's mansion. Although there was discord between the two horses, Ma Dunjing was more polite to Ma Hongbin.He came out of the house, shook hands with the two of them at the gate, and said, "The old man came to see me. I dare not take it for granted. I should have seen you earlier, but I couldn't leave because I was busy with business." Ma Hongbin said: "You are a big shot in Ningxia now, how can you have time to see me, an old man?" "In any case, the old man is our chief." "I can recognize this one without introducing you. He is Mr. Guo from Lanzhou. He has a deep friendship with you. He is here for your future." Ma Dunjing bowed hypocritically to Guo Nanpu, and said, "Welcome, old man. I have often heard my father mention you. You are a famous Chinese medicine doctor in Lanzhou." "It's just a false name, you, the lieutenant general, are famous." Ma Dunjing brought them into his reception room and asked people to get melons and fruits. His little woman came out from the back room and greeted Ma Hongbin politely. The house has become very messy, and Ma Hongbin has seen that Ma Dunjing is also ready to escape at any time, so he said to him while drinking tea: "Jing'er, you are so smart. You were confused for a moment. What is he doing in Chongqing now? During the battle in Lanzhou, you didn't send troops. Chairman Jiang was very angry. Can you let him go? Besides, that Ma Bufang wouldn't speak well of him. , Lanzhou is lost, everyone is responsible. How long Chiang Kai-shek can persist in the mainland can be calculated. He will flee to Taiwan, and you may go too. He will regret it. Our Ma family ancestors can be said to be very effective for the party-state For the sake of the national government, we paid for all the foundations created by our ancestors from the pile of blood. What will happen in the end? We are local armed forces, not Mr. Jiang’s direct descendants. He often attacks us. Your father is fighting with the government. Like me, I have no one to talk to, so I can only be angry. If he goes to Taiwan, will those guys allow him to settle down? You should be more decisive." Ma Dunjing explained: "I don't want to see another war in Ningxia, but the People's Liberation Army is pressing every step of the way. I don't even have the time to catch my breath. What's the peace talk? If they are sincere, they can stay where they are, and we can cooperate with each other." Don't violate it!" Guo Nanpu said: "I understand what Commander Ma means, but now that the People's Liberation Army has entered, you have to make up your mind quickly. If you continue to fight, what good will it do? I am so old, and I saw the Communist Party in Lanzhou with my own eyes. I admire them for doing things for people. They are very friendly to us when we go home, I hope you make up your mind early!" Ma Hongbin said: "The armies of both sides should not move for the time being, of course it is possible, but it will be difficult to keep the People's Liberation Army still for a long time. We are the defeated generals, so the conditions should not be too high!" Ma Dunjing still insisted: "I still say the same thing, let them stop moving forward, and I will naturally make up my mind when my old man has reliable news." Ma Hongbin shook his head: "You don't know how deep you are, and it's not like the People's Liberation Army hasn't beaten you before. Why did you listen to me? You'll make mistakes!" "I am not afraid of anything. Now the PLA has defeated one of my divisions. If they continue to advance, I will resist to the end. You can surrender to them first. Everyone has his own ambitions. I don't want to do that!" "What do you rely on to resist? Is it the little army?" "It doesn't matter if the army is dispersed, we may retreat to the pastoral areas or deserts to fight guerrillas!" "You kid is really tough!" Ma Dunjing stopped talking, and sat there picking up the copper hookah pot left by his father to strike a match to smoke. He used to smoke opium, but it seemed that he was really addicted to smoking. He smoked ten pots in a row and still held the pot. hold on. Ma Hongbin's face was pale, and he sat there drinking tea non-stop.At this time Guo Nanpu spoke, and he said to Ma Dunjing: "I don't agree with Mr. Ma's words. If your father is gone, he wouldn't say that if he was here. You are going to take the troops to the desert to fight guerrillas. Well, the People's Liberation Army was born in guerrillas. You don’t know one thing? You are definitely not their opponents, and you will always be wiped out by them in the end. This is a fact. As for your attempt to dig dikes to release water, it will be an added crime, and it is impossible to stop the People’s Liberation Army from advancing.” Ma Dunjing was a little annoyed. He stood up and said, "Who asked you, an old man, to teach me a lesson? I don't want you to take care of our Ningxia affairs. Go back to Lanzhou!" Mr. Guo is a gentleman, how can he suffer this humiliation?His face suddenly changed drastically, he looked at Ma Dunjing, gritted his teeth, and said, "What do you want to do? I just won't leave, and I want to see your kid in a desperate situation here!" Ma Hongbin stood up and scolded: "You boy, don't do anything wrong. Mr. Guo is the leader of the Islamic circle in our northwest region. You are so unreasonable." The quarrel disturbed Ma Dunjing's wife. The young woman hurried out from the back room, scolded Ma Dunjing a few words, and then said to Ma Hongbin: "He has no sense in what he says. Please don't be angry, old man. I've already prepared the meal. Please go ahead." Let's eat, let's talk about something." Guo Nanpu had left, and Ma Hongbin stood up and walked out. Ma Dunjing and his wife came out and asked them to have dinner.Mr. Guo ignored them and still walked out. Ma Hongbin stopped, looked at them and said: "We can't afford it!" After speaking, he got into his car with Guo Nanpu and left Ma Dunjing's mansion... Afterwards, Ma Hongbin sent his peace negotiating representative to formally negotiate with the People's Liberation Army about the uprising. This is the morning of September 19th. Ma Dunjing, commander of the 81st Army of the Kuomintang, and his entourage took a sheepskin raft to a beach in the upper reaches of the Yellow River near Zhongning County, and prepared to sign with Fu Chongbi, deputy political commissar of the 64th Army of the People's Liberation Army. It is very inconvenient to talk on this barren sand, Fu Chongbi is right?Jing said: "It is very meaningful for us to meet here today!" Ma Mourning said: "Chairman Mao's Communist Party is better than Chiang Kai-shek, so we will fight with him." "We welcome you." "The uprising is the wish of my father and I. I am very happy that it can be realized. It's just that we didn't send anyone to come a few days ago, so we still have some concerns!" "It's understandable to have concerns, but you should have put down your arms a long time ago. The fight we had a few days ago shouldn't have happened." "We have absolutely no intention of being an enemy of the People's Liberation Army." "That's good." "I'm only here to represent our 81st Army, we can sign a peace agreement here." "If you want to talk sincerely, why don't you go ashore and enter Zhongning County, where we can discuss in detail. There is no place to sit here, so how can we sign an agreement?" horse?Jing's worries disappeared, and he said, "Then I will go into the city with you." "That's fine, both of us should trust." So they took Fu Chongbi's car into Zhongning County. When he came to the headquarters of the 64th Army of the People's Liberation Army, Commander Zeng Siyu was also very happy. When he saw the horse in the uniform of the Kuomintang general?Jing only brought two relatives who were not soldiers, and when he himself was not wearing any weapons, he shook hands with a smile and said: "I welcome Commander Ma with both hands. If you don't bring a guard, it means you trust us." "Thank you Commander Zeng for giving us this opportunity." "Peaceful uprisings are good things for the country and the people. General Fu Zuoyi in Beiping and General Dong Qiwu in Suiyuan have taken the lead, and we will not treat them badly." "I believe this, but we are an ethnic minority area here, and some people have concerns about our uprising!" "Our People's Liberation Army's stationing is also temporary. After the uprising, it will still be handed over to you for management. This is an instruction from the Party Central Committee. Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu have eight rules for our army, and our commanders and fighters will definitely abide by them. In addition, our Communist Party also has Ethnic policy, please rest assured." "I'm relieved." "You are Hui people, and we respect your customs and habits. Our China is made up of many ethnic groups, and each ethnic group has an obligation to build this country well." "We return to Hanben as a family." "How is your father's health?" "I'm getting old, but my spirit is still good." "He is a good man, very open-minded, and the people here speak well of him. Your troops have revolted, and I assure you and your father that all property owned by your family will not be violated and will be safe. " "Thank you, this is also my father's most concerned issue. Not long ago, someone came to stop our uprising, saying that the Communist Party is unreliable. Today, when we met with Commander Zeng, we completely dispelled our worries. The reason why you can win, It’s about keeping what you say, thinking about the people, and getting support.” The atmosphere of the talks was very friendly. Ma Dunjing was a very straightforward soldier, he was open-minded and thoughtful.After more than an hour, after repeated negotiations between the two sides, an agreement was reached. Finally, they officially signed the agreement, and the 81st Army of the Kuomintang has electrified the uprising. The full text of the agreement is as follows: The 19th Army Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and?Peaceful settlement agreement of the 81st Army of the Kuomintang In order to preserve the country's human, material and financial resources, the Chinese People's Liberation Army complied with the Eight Principles of Peaceful Liberation promulgated by Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and reached the following agreement after several consultations between representatives of the two parties: (1) The 81st Army of the Kuomintang must assemble at the designated location and wait for the reorganization of the army according to the principles of the democratic system, and the People's Liberation Army will send political commissars and political workers to carry out the work.

Ma Dunjing, plenipotentiary representative of the 81st Army of the Kuomintang Army (signed). On September 19, 1938, the two parties signed and took a group photo. Finally, Zeng Siyu and Fu Chongbi hosted a banquet for Ma Jing and his party. On the same day, Ma Dunjing returned to the army to gather all officers and soldiers and announced the formal signing with the People's Liberation Army. All the officers and soldiers rejoiced after hearing this, and had a dinner to celebrate that night.These local officers and soldiers were originally opposed to war. In the past few decades, they left their families and traveled on the battlefield, hoping for a peaceful life. Today, their good wishes have finally come true. A few days later, the PLA dispatched a group of political cadres to help reorganize the rebel unit. Then it was officially named the Second Independent Army of the Northwest Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and a flag-giving ceremony was held. The Central Military Commission appointed Ma Dunjing as the commander of the army, Zhenhua as the political commissar, and Yang Yuchun as the chief of staff. At the same time, officers at the division and regiment levels were also appointed.Most of these people were members of Ma Dunjing's original team. This incident had a great impact on Ma Hongbin, his sons and the officers and soldiers. They were very excited and believed that it was right to go with the Communist Party. In December of the same year, the Ningxia Military Region was established with Wang Daobang as its commander. A year later, because of Ma Dunjing's outstanding work, he was appointed as the commander of the Ningxia Military Region by the Central Military Commission. In 1954, the military region was abolished. Ma Dunjing (the third son of Ma Hongbin) took off his military uniform and came to Lanzhou to serve as the vice chairman of the Gansu Provincial Political Consultative Conference.
