Chairman Chiang has always been extremely friendly to Yue himself, and he has the strength to eat 100 beans without being fishy, and he has never hesitated to insist on repaying grievances with virtue, and this time is naturally no exception.

As soon as the army put down their weapons, they immediately had good food, drink and hospitality, which made these soldiers think that they had come to China on vacation, and it was really a good time.

However, it is a pity that this time Chairman Chiang could not stay longer with the distinguished guests, and he had to send the distinguished guests away immediately, without delaying for a moment.

Just as Chairman Chiang was sending off the guests non-stop, the bad news came again, and the Black God Army blitzed Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang provinces.

These three places actually had nothing to do with Chairman Chiang, and he could not intervene at all, but Gansu was under his control, and Gansu was completely surrounded by Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang Province.

Therefore, if the Black God Army takes Qinghai and Ningxia, it will also be equivalent to taking Gansu.

The northwest is poor, and it's nothing to lose a Gansu, but it means that the power of the Black God Army has swelled a lot, and this is where the hell lies.

What to do? After thinking about it, Chairman Jiang found that he still had nothing to say except for dry staring, and he didn't even dare to make a noise.

Although he didn't want to think about it, Chiang Kai-shek knew that now, in the minds of the people, the status of the national political axe was incomparable with that of the Black God Army. If the Black God Army provoked the two things of making peace with the Yue Army first, letting the Yue Army enter North China, and then letting the Yue himself, who was defeated by the Black God Army, leave, then it would be a big trouble.

As soon as he thought of this, Chairman Jiang had the urge to vomit blood, the former is a fact, but the latter is a trick made by the Black God Army, but this kind of thing is to find out, and it will not affect the reputation of the Black God Army, but it will only show his incompetence even more.

As for sending troops or something, don't even think about it, if the Black God Army comes directly, then there is nothing to say about fighting the Black God Army, but if you take the initiative to fight the Black God Army, Chiang Kai-shek has no doubt that this battle will not be able to be fought if morale is only this one.

The Black God Army is a big hero in the hearts of the people, and even more so in the hearts of the soldiers.

Now, the only thing that can be counted on is that the Northwest Four Horses will be able to thwart the attack of the Black God Army, however, Chiang Kai-shek knows better, and there is little hope.

After more than a year of war, the strength of the Black God Army, no matter which side it is on, not only has it not weakened, but it has grown strongly in all aspects.

This time, the Black God Army is definitely a mechanized force, more mechanized than himself, and none of the soldiers are rushing with their feet.

-- The armored command vehicle rumbled forward, and Fang Zhenwu leaned out of the car half-body, looking at the endless prairie, and he was extremely high-spirited.

Paralyzed Ma Bufang, you calf, you will have a today!

Fang Zhenwu's heart is not very broad-minded, he loves to drill the horns of the bull, hold grudges, especially hold grudges, or he will not become the number one troublemaker in Chairman Jiang's heart.

Ma Bufang used to be his good buddy, when he organized the overthrow of Jiang and sent a letter to contact Ma Bufang, but he never thought that Ma Bufang, the calf, would take his letter to Chiang Kai-shek to borrow it, so that he was locked up by Lao Jiang.

Knowing that he wanted to take Xinjiang Province, Qinghai, and Ningxia, Fang Zhenwu took the initiative to ask for help, and for this reason, he opened his words, saying that he was going to beat Ma Bufang, a calf, and had no intention of ruling the northwest.

Speaking of which, Han Lihong couldn't refute this face, so he agreed.

In fact, Fang Zhenwu is a little bit laid-back, if he wants to govern the northwest, he doesn't have the strength to fight at all.

This time, the conquest army led by Fang Zhenwu was so wide that he could wake up with a smile in his dreams.

In terms of cavalry, in addition to the 5,000 Black God Iron Cavalry commanded by Zhang Dapeng, the 3,000 assault brigade commanded by Piao'er, and a cavalry division of the 29th Army, a total of 20,000 people.

In terms of infantry, it was even wider, 40,000 soldiers, 1,500 vehicles, 1,200 light machine guns, 300 heavy machine guns.

As far as the artillery fire is almost, there is no heavy artillery, but against Ma Bufang's calf, these are enough.

In the winter of 33, Sun Dianying led a large army to attack Ningxia in the name of being ordered to enter Qingtun Reclamation, aiming to annex the northwest.

Ma Hongkui, Ma Hongbin, Ma Bufang, and Ma Buqing, the four horses in the northwest were afraid that they would be broken by each other, and the territory would be difficult to protect, so they jointly rejected Sun, and Chiang Kai-shek was also happy to see Sun Dianying and Ma Jiajun attacking each other, and both were defeated, so they ignored it.

In the end, after a fierce battle, the four horses defeated Sun Dianying.

This time, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to take care of it, but he didn't dare to let go of a fart. As soon as he thought of this, Fang Zhenwu felt as if he had drunk rock sugar Shunqi pills.

Following Han Lihong is happy, beating the four horses in the northwest, without saying a word, without saying a word, he first hugged his head and beat his grandson.

-- These days, the Prime Minister is very busy.

In fact, the Prime Minister has been busy, but these days, he is even busier.

Han Lihong completely dumped the matter of forming a joint political axe to the premier, who has been discussing with people from all walks of life in Peiping these days.

Today, after receiving a notice from the central government, the premier and Deng Gong rushed back to Yan'an.

When the prime minister arrived, Taizu was not there, and Taizu was thinking about things on a nearby hill.

The Prime Minister and the guards walked towards the hill.

On the hill, Taizu stood silently alone, looking at the slowly flowing Yan River.

The prime minister knew Taizu's mood and was leaving, and no one was reluctant.

Walking to Taizu's side and standing still, Taizu turned his head and said, "Enlai, what do you think of Han Lihong?" ”

Knowing what Taizu was asking, the prime minister said, "Chairman, Han Lihong doesn't have any problems, we can completely trust him." ”

After pondering for a moment, Taizu said: "Enlai, is that okay to say, he doesn't trust us very much?" ”

After a long silence, the prime minister nodded slightly and said, "Yes, so to speak." After a pause, he continued: "Chairman, Han Lihong is not interested in ideological things, he said that ideology is easy to moralize, and once it rises to the height of morality, it is easy to make mistakes, and good things will become bad things. ”

Nodding, Taizu said: "He is very right, revolution needs passion, but it is easy to go to extremes. ”

The prime minister said: "Chairman, the most rare thing for Han Lihong is that he has no ambition for power, and his political ideas do not conflict with ours, and he hates those bureaucratic capitals even more than us." ”

Nodding again, Taizu said, "Enlai, do you think he is sincere about forming a joint political axe?" ”

The prime minister said: "It's sincere. ”

At least for the foreseeable future, this joint political axe will basically be a political axe of quarrels, with no power to talk about, let alone efficiency, and the symbolic meaning is far greater than the substantive meaning.

The Kuomintang is an extremely loosely organized political party, although the timing is not right now, but with the combined strength of them and the Black God Army, it is still certain to defeat the Kuomintang, so the prime minister was very surprised to find that Han Lihong sincerely wanted to form a coalition political axe.

China has a vast territory and a large population, and in order for the country to maintain stability, it is necessary to have a strong central political axe, which is the reason for China's political and cultural tradition of great unification.

Han Lihong is well aware of the drawbacks of this joint political axe, but there are two reasons why he insists on forming a joint political axe.

Without a strong central political axe, the biggest harm is war, but this, because they can maintain a strong coercion, war can definitely be avoided, if there is really war, it is the beginning of the war of absolute unification.

That's the first reason.

Without a strong central political axe, each province will do its own thing, and the great powers will inevitably meddle in China's administrative affairs, which in essence makes a country a country among a dozen countries, and its drawbacks and harms are obvious.

In this regard, Han Lihong believes that the relationship between the central and local governments has always been an unsolvable old problem, and the so-called "death as soon as it is grasped" and chaos as soon as it is loosened can never be found.

The benefits of local autonomy are obvious, and China has never had a tradition of local autonomy, precisely because the benefits of local autonomy are great, but the harm is equally great.

Now, this is an opportunity, because the greatest danger of local self-government can be avoided—war.

Han Lihong further pointed out that they control most of China, have the necessary resources for the development of industry in the south, and can exert influence over other provinces through the economy in the future.

What's more, there will inevitably be competition among the provinces, and whoever wins will mean whose system is better, and this will inevitably rise to an ideological battle.

For this reason, the great powers had to prop up the Kuomintang, which represented bureaucratic comprador capital, and this substantially increased China's overall national power.

In this regard, there is one thing that Han Lihong did not say, but the prime minister also knows that the pressure of competition is greater, and this requires that things must be done like a war, and there must be no mistakes.

If you're wrong, you pay the price.

Finally, Han Lihong gave the finishing touch: when China's overall national strength rises to a certain extent, quantitative changes will inevitably lead to qualitative changes. At that time, the interests of China's main interest groups will inevitably be irreconcilably contradictory with the foreign powers, and this will inevitably require the integration of the country's forces as a whole.

At that time, it is natural that there will be a central political axe that represents the interests of the country.

After hearing this, Taizu thought for a long time, smiled, and said, "He is so young, his patience is good. ”

After a moment's hesitation, the prime minister said, "Chairman, I feel that this time the Black God Army may clash with the Soviet Union. ”

took a puff of cigarette and slowly spit it out, a cold light flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes, and Taizu said: "It's okay to knock on the Soviet Union, they have a good chance." ”

The prime minister nodded, he knew that Taizu had always been very dissatisfied with the Soviet Union and the Soviet-controlled Comintern, but due to reality, he had to make a false promise.

Now, the situation has changed.

-- Ma Jiajun is not one, but several, but they all have a common surname, and Ma Jiajun is the most traditional feudal warlord.

Gan, He, Hui, Ma.

These four characters represent the golden rule of the Ma family's military personnel, which means Gansu people, Hezhou people, Hui people, and Ma surnames, and the core power adopts the feudal inheritance method of father and son, brother and brother.

It is not for nothing that the Hui people live in Qinghai and Gansu, and it is because the rulers of successive dynasties have the need to balance the Tibetan people. Therefore, the Hui here generally rarely participated in the rebellion, and whenever possible, they were attached to the central power at the time.

Ma Jiajun is also like this, when Ma Bufang sold Zhenwu, it was out of this need.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the Ma Jiajun is the top, but their equipment is inferior, not as good as the Central Army.

Ma Bufang is very powerful, his person is gloomy and serious, very scheming, decisive, ruthless, doing everything, and thoughtful, grasping everything in proportion and grasping it properly.

If there is a big chaos today, the power of the Ma Jiajun has been formed, and the central government can only woo them, and there is no other way, and they rely on their own strong military strength, so the Ma Jiajun is extremely arrogant.

Hearing that Fang Zhenwu brought the Black God Army to fight them, except for Ma Bufang's heart drumming, everyone else didn't care.

In fact, although Ma Bufang was drumming in his heart, he didn't really feel afraid.

Although the Black God Army is powerful, but the forces of all parties in North China are staggered, and he has just finished fighting with Yueben, Ma Bufang does not believe that the Black God Army will send many troops to fight him.

However, Ma Jiajun was soon dumbfounded, it turned out that how powerful they were all their own thoughts, in fact, they were simply local chickens and tile dogs, and they were vulnerable.

The most powerful thing in the Ma family army is the cavalry, but against the Black God Army, whether it is the Black God Iron Cavalry or the infantry, they are all looking for the gang.

Against the Black God Iron Cavalry, the head-on is the strafing of the submachine gun, and the far point is the sniper's point of fire, so it is a massacre, a one-sided slaughter.

Against the infantry, the situation is even worse.

Part of the Black God's car has been modified and some baffles have been added to turn it into an improvised version of the armored car. Therefore, Ma Jiajun faced up, and before he saw what the infantry looked like, he was swept off his horse by light and heavy machine guns.

What's more, the speed at which the Black God Army advanced was too fast, and it was definitely lightning fast.

Ma Bufang grinned, he knew that in order to please Lao Jiang, he sold Zhenwu, which caused a big trouble.

Whether to fight him or not, Fang Zhenwu naturally can't decide, but to what extent to fight and how to treat the Ma family, Fang Zhenwu's power will be great.

――――Fang Zhenwu was full of spirits, I didn't expect to be old, and there would be such a beautiful day!

The soldiers went out of Zhangjiakou, through Ulanqab, Hohhot, Baotou, Bayannur, Wuhai, Shizuishan, and went straight down to Yinchuan.

Within a few days, Ma Bufang couldn't stand it, he came to the door in person and pleaded guilty, but it was useless, Fang Zhenwu didn't [***] Ma Bufang at all.

Ma Bufang's last bit of battle was that if the Black God Army wanted to rule Qinghai and Ningxia smoothly, the best way was to continue to use them.

However, Ma Bufang obviously miscalculated.

However, although Fang Zhenwu and Ma Bufang have a grudge, it is far from the point of not sharing the sky, so Fang Zhenwu did not kill them all, but just expelled the Ma family as a whole.

After driving away the four horses, the Black God Army threw out the big killing weapon and divided the land as usual, but at the same time, it gave the local famous imams good treatment politically and economically.

Qinghai and Ningxia were taken, and the Kuomintang troops in Gansu took the initiative to withdraw from Gansu and retreat into Shaanxi.

At this point, Fang Zhenwu's mission was completed, and he returned to Beiping, and the next battle of Xinjiang Province was fully responsible for the ticket.

Duke Deng came with the army of the Western Expedition.

Deng Gong is a general borrowed by Premier Han Lihongguan, and in the future, Deng Gong will be the director of the Northwest Agency, managing Xinjiang Province, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Gansu.

However, at the moment, his identity is still secret and has not been made public.

Since he is a borrowed general, although Deng Gong is a [***] member, he has to implement the policies formulated by Han Lihong. In fact, there is no contradiction in this, and the core of Han Lihong's policy is to unite all ethnic groups in the northwest and coexist in harmony.

To achieve this step, it is difficult to say, it is as difficult as the sky, but it is easy to say, and it is indeed easy.

Compared with those warlords and corrupt officials who scraped the land, Han Lihong's policies did not have a trace of looting, and coupled with Deng Gong's talent, it was natural to govern the four northwestern provinces well.

-- Chairman Chiang was disappointed, very disappointed, he was extremely disappointed.

Sheng Shicai was a native of Kaiyuan, Liaoning, and studied political economy at Meiji University in Tokyo, and later studied at the Army University under the recommendation of Guo Songling, a general in the Feng department.

In 1927, Sheng Shicai returned to China, and at the end of the 30th year, he came to Xinjiang Province and was appointed as the chief instructor of tactics at the Military Academy.

Four years later, Sheng Shicai became the king of Xinjiang Province.

Sheng Shicai's rise so quickly was entirely the result of falling headlong to the Soviet Union.

At that time, in addition to Sheng Shicai, there were also two forces, Ma Zhongying, the cousin of Ma Bufang, who occupied northern Xinjiang, and Zhang Peiyuan, who occupied Yili, and they formed a three-legged situation with Sheng Shicai in Xinjiang Province.

Ma Zhongying and Zhang Peiyuan, both with more troops than Sheng Shicai, acted together, ready to seize power at any time. In addition, Sheng Shicai has just replaced Jin Shuren, the former chairman of the provincial political axe of Xinjiang Province, and his foundation is not stable, and some local forces are also ready to wait for an opportunity.

In December 1933, Zhang Peiyuan marched from Ili to Dihua, and at the request of Sheng Shicai, the Soviet Red Army sent troops to help in the war, and Zhang Peiyuan committed suicide in defeat.

In January 1934, Ma Zhongying led the main force of more than 7,000 people to besiege Dihua, and the situation was extremely critical for a time.

The Soviets entered Xinjiang in two ways and quickly defeated Ma Zhongying's troops, who withdrew from the siege and fled south in mid-February.

At the beginning of 1937, Ma Zhongying's cronies Ma Hushan rebelled and entered the arsenal. In September, at the request of Sheng Shicai, three regiments of the Soviet Kortov Corps, equipped with 40 planes and 20 tanks, broke into Artush and cut off the retreat of the Sloppy Mountain Army. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Hushan fled to India with a small number of followers, and his troops surrendered by the brigade commander Ma Shenggui, who was later killed by Soviet troops.

The Soviet Union and Xinjiang Province have a border of more than 3,000 kilometers, a stable and pro-Soviet Xinjiang Province is very important to the Soviet Union, so the support for Sheng Shicai spared no effort, but with the virtue of Lao Maozi, pay one, you have to return ten, Sheng Shicai must return the great interests of the Soviet Union.

What's more, in January of this year, a mechanized reinforcement regiment of the Soviet Red Army was stationed in Hami, which is undoubtedly a blatant support for Sheng Shicai, and even more contempt for Nanjing's political axe.

In August, Sheng Shicai went to Moscow under the pretext of seeking medical treatment, and it was not until the Black God Army invaded Yinchuan that Sheng Shicai hurriedly returned to Xinjiang Province from Moscow.

Chairman Chiang originally expected the Soviet Union and the Black God Army to fight to the death, but he never thought that the Soviet Union would be instigated this time, and the instigation was called a complete victory, and it withdrew from Xinjiang Province without firing a single shot.

The paralyzed ones are all bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, Chairman Jiang regrets it!
