According to the report of the entourage who was in charge of guarding Ma Wanxuan at the time, the horse team that suddenly appeared was cleverly camouflaged, but they could conclude that the person who intercepted and killed them was the Taiping Red Army. For some of them were holding in their hands the kind of saber that only they possessed, with narrow blades.

Ma Hualong was furious.

Pingliang Province is now the general headquarters of the Red Army's counterinsurgency. The two prefectures of Pingliang and Qingyang were all forcibly occupied by the Red in order to protect the local Han civilians from being destroyed on the one hand, under the slogan of chasing down the Shaanxi Hui rioters who were marshal Ren Wu.

In mid-July, another handwritten secret letter from Ma Hualong reached the hands of Huang Zaixing, the commander-in-chief of the counterinsurgency. Since the beginning of May, Huang Zaixing has simply been associated with illness. When he was young, he first committed an "old stomach disease", and then contracted malignant dysentery, nearly two months later, although the condition began to gradually improve, but his body was tossed enough. At this time, his face, which was not much flesh, was sallow, more like an axe and a knife, and the whole person was emaciated and left with skin and bones. At the beginning of the month, when he finally persuaded Lin Fengxiang to personally sit in Xi'an, plan and prepare for the future eastward crossing of the Yellow River to meet the operations of the Red Second Front Army, and when he himself rushed from Xi'an to Pingliang, he ordered the guards to tie himself to the back of their horses, and only barely insisted on getting here.

In his letter, Ma Hualong did not mention Ma Wanxuan's death, but in a rather sincere tone, he told the two different opinions that were currently emerging within the Ningxia side, and finally, in an extremely friendly and urgent tone, he implored the Red Army of the Celestial Empire to send a few "heavyweight" representatives to Guyuan for contact, so as to dispel the doubts of some people who had committed all kinds of crimes in the early stage and help persuade and unify their internal understanding. At the same time, in order to dispel the doubts of the Celestial Empire, he also swore in the name of Allah in the letter that the personal safety of the negotiators would be absolutely guaranteed.

In the general headquarters of counter-rioting, there was a lot of controversy around how to view Ma Hualong's letter.

At the same time that the Ningxia government had been sent to the Ningxia government to veto the Ningxia "autonomy" plan proposed by Ma Hualong and others, in order to deal with the serious danger brought about by the possible breakdown of negotiations between the two sides, the Red Army had already begun to concentrate seven armies and nearly 200,000 horses of the 30,000 Hui Corps of Ma Zuowei, which had just been reorganized by the Shaanxi Righteous Army, and was divided into three directions, northern, central, and southern, preparing to participate in the armed counterinsurgency.

On the north road, Zhu Xikun and Zou Guojiandu led the main forces of the Red Second and Fourteenth armies to march westward from the Dingbian area, and one made a direct point at the old nest where Ma Hualong started, the situation of Lingzhou Jinjibao, and contained the main force of the Gansu Hui Army concentrated in this place and Ningxia Fucheng, and at the same time turned south all the way, cooperated with the Red Army on the middle road, and completely annihilated the Bai Yanhu rebels stationed in Huanxian County.

In the middle road, the 11th and 16th armies and the Ma Zuowei Huimin Corps personally controlled by Huang Zaixing were also divided into two routes, the main force besieged Huanxian, and the military headquarters of the 11th Army led a main division to advance from Zhenyuan to the northwest, directly into the current nest of the Renwu rebels, Guyuan Prefecture City.

Of course, the start time of this qiē operation will be determined by the highlight of the South Road. The main force of the Red 19th Army, led by Qin Rigang, who participated in the counterinsurgency on the southern route, and the main force of the Red 19th Army, which was immediately reinforced by Qin Rigang, will use the siege of Dingxi County, which was still controlled by the Manchu Ningxia general Mu Tushan, as bait to lure the main force of Ren Wubu, which has always been good at fighting behind the Red Army's buttocks and undermining the Red Army's strategic intentions, to leave its nest and advance. The main force of the Red Army on the southern route of the Celestial Empire took this opportunity to set up a battlefield east of the Zuli River to completely eliminate these scum.

It can be said that at present, the entire army of the Red Army at the front, with the same hatred for the enemy, has made all kinds of preparations for gaining the strategic initiative in the northwest only in the first war.

But this qiē was temporarily disturbed by a letter from Ma Hualong. In the newly established United Front Work Department of the Front Army, Ma Fuchu, Ma Rulong, and other high-ranking Hui people who came from Yunnan expressed great interest in Ma Hualong's rare positive attitude. Therefore, they all expressed their willingness to go to Guyuan and take on the important role of peace messengers.

Zhang Suimou, who is the successor of Huang Zaixing in the future, also stood on the side of accepting the invitation in Ma Hualong's letter at this time.

At the beginning, in order to equip the Red Army with a candidate for the best chief of staff after Huang Zaixing's resignation, Shi Dakai proposed Zhang Suimou to Lin Haifeng after a long period of consideration. As Shi Dakai, he saw very clearly that the main task of the Red Front Army in the future was to pacify the entire northwest, and then create a powerful strategic army that could not only defend the vast northwest territory, but also deal a fatal blow to the tsarist Russia. More importantly, the northwest road is far away, the territory is vast, and communication is inconvenient, and what is most needed is a capable general who has an incomparable absolute belief in the Celestial Empire and a superhuman strategy. This position seems to be far more important than the position of chief of staff of the Red Second Front Army, where Zhang Suimou was located. It can be seen that Zhang Suimou is definitely not an incompetent person.

The reason why Zhang Suimou strongly agreed with the peaceful settlement of the issue of the rebellion of the Shaanxi-Gansu Hui Army, and even actively agreed with it at the beginning, at the expense of accepting the so-called "autonomy" of Ningxia and other prefectures thrown out by Ma Hualong and others in exchange for temporary peace with the Shaanxi-Gansu Hui Army, was not because he was on a whim or because he oversimplified the issue. On the contrary, he saw precisely the unfavorable factors that the Hui army riots might bring to the recovery of the whole country by the Red Army of the Celestial Empire. He used to be a faithful believer in the worship of God, and now he is a member of the Celestial Empire Communist Alliance, although he may not have a deep understanding of this new Religious Alliance, at least in his senses, the Communist Alliance is not too different from the original Worship of God, but in terms of pursuit, it seems to be more direct and close to the Worship of God than the Worship of God. He thought that God was invisible to anyone, and no one could say whether there was one, but the service for the people that Lin Haifeng said was something that everyone should understand anyway, and of course it was very difficult to do.

In any case, Zhang Suimou's starting point was to let the banner of the Celestial Empire cover every corner of the land of China as soon as possible. In his opinion, soldiers are not tired of deceit, and it is no longer normal to use cunning in their dealings with their enemies. Just imagine, if it weren't for the containment of these riotous return troops, wouldn't the hundreds of thousands of Red Army officers and men on the one hand, who had been in battle for a long time, have already made great strides to sweep away Shaanxi and Gansu, and even crossed the Yellow River eastward, and cooperated with the other two front armies, completely trampling the Manchu Qing under their feet, and why would they have engaged in some greasy and crooked negotiations with them in Jinan?

Before coming to Shaanxi, he had been warmly received by Lin Haifeng in the northern camp of Xuzhou, and he still remembered that Director Lin said to him with a smile, "The future of the Celestial Empire is bright, and soon we will produce a kind of thing, which is specially designed to help myopic glasses like yours with vision defects. ”

At that time, Zhang Suimou also smiled. But no, he feels that now he can understand everything in his heart, but his eyes are a little worse.

Huang Zaixing is the commander-in-chief, and if time permits, he can persuade Zhang Suimou or decisively veto him. However, he couldn't suppress the indescribable "sibling feelings" in the hearts of Ma Fuchu, Ma Rulong and others.

"I'll go to Guyuan," Zhang Suimou saw that a normal discussion might turn into an argument similar to vendetta and affect the friendship between the brothers, looked at Ma Fuchu and Ma Rulong, who were blushing and thick-necked, and decisively asked, "You can't go." For Ma Hualong and others, they must be prepared with both hands, especially since Guyuan still has Ren Wu, a mad dog. I can go to achieve two purposes, one is to find out the true intentions of the other party, and if possible, you will go in one after another. The second is to show our sincerity to the other side and more Hui brothers. Show them that even though they have killed our negotiators, we can still be afraid of life and death. ”

Huang Zaixing didn't speak, but just sighed softly at Zhang Suimou. It's hard!

Zhang Suimou smiled, "Lao Huang, don't worry about me, when I was a child, a blind man told me my fortune, saying that I would be rich and rich for decades." ”

"Hehe, yes," Ma Fuchu finally showed a smile when he saw the helpless look that Huang Zaixing had already revealed, "We Hui people like to keep their promises the most, and the promises made in front of Allah will never be reneceitted." Commander-in-Chief Huang, this time I will accompany General Zhang to Guyuan no matter what. ”
