"Abba, you hit me?" Ma Dunjing asked in disbelief while covering his face.

"It's still clear to beat you, you go back to your house for me immediately, and you are not allowed to come out without my order." Ma Hongkui shouted with a grim face.

"Humph!" Ma Dunjing covered his face and strode back to the house.

Headquarters of the 37th Group Army in Zhangjiakou

Major General Ma Jun, the rare logistics minister in Pingyue, was standing at Su Tong's desk at this moment.

Su Tong's voice was very low: "Have you checked it out?" Who did it? ”

Ma Jun said calmly: "According to the report of our intelligence officers stationed in Yinchuan, Ma Hongkui's second son, Ma Dunjing, returned to Yinchuan yesterday afternoon with more than 100 cars. Therefore, we judged that this batch of vehicles was most likely the vehicles of the caravan that had been hijacked by us. ”

"Ma Jun, you ordered the intelligence officers to continue to observe, and you ordered them to try to take pictures of these vehicles. If Lao Tzu wants to fight, he will beat him. Su Tong's eyes at this time revealed murderous intent.

"Yes,"

The next day, the Chahar Daily, the Declaration, the Yangzhou Daily, the Ta Kung Pao and other major media across the country all published a news from the Chahar political axe. Ma Dunjing, the second son of Ma Hongkui, chairman of the political axe of Ningchuan Province, led his subordinates to kill the caravan from Chahar, robbed the caravan of supplies, and killed more than 500 people escorted by the caravan. Now the caravan's lost vehicles are parked in the barracks in Yinchuan, and the blood stains and bullet marks on those vehicles can be seen in the photos.

This news shocked all walks of life across the country, and people condemned Ma Hongkui's murder one after another. In particular, various business people collectively issued a statement, saying that if they did not severely punish the murderers, they would never do business with Ningxia even one big man from now on. Ma Hongkui's father and son have become rats crossing the street at this moment, and everyone shouts and beats.

On the third day, Chahar Political Axe issued another announcement, stating that if Ma Hongkui did not hand over Ma Dunjing, the murderer of the caravan, to be severely punished according to law, then Chahar Political Axe would not mind seeking justice in his own way.

Ningxia Yinchuan Mafu

At this time, there was a gloomy cloud in the Ma Mansion, and Ma Hongkui and his cousins Ma Hongbin, Ma Dunjing and several others sat opposite each other.

Ma Hongkui's heart was sad, he didn't expect that he had worked hard for most of his life, and he would be ruined in the hands of his favorite son.

Ma Hongbin looked at the eldest brother's sad face and couldn't bear to say: "Big brother, why don't we ask Bufang and Buqing for help, for the sake of the brothers of the same clan, I believe they will lend a hand." ”

Ma Hongkui laughed miserably after hearing this, "What, ask Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing for help?" Hum! They all wish I had died sooner! ”

Ma Dunjing couldn't stand this dull atmosphere anymore, and stood up loudly and shouted: "It's a big deal to fight with them, I don't believe that with the strength of our 50,000 horse team, we can't fight that Su Tong!" ”

Seeing Ma Dunjing's gaffe, Ma Hongkui surprisingly didn't lose his temper this time, just sighed and said slowly: "Little Er, sit down, since you are sensible, Abba hasn't chatted with you like this for a long time." Let's have a good chat today, Abba has something in his heart to tell you. ”

At this time, Ma Hongkui is not like a murderous warlord leader, but more like a loving old father.

"Little Er, you are smart when you are young, which is what Abba is most satisfied with. But it's this little cleverness that hurts you! Abba knows, you have always been unconvinced by that Su Tong, thinking that he is just Erer, right? You think we are separated from Chahar by a Suiyuan, and he can't help us, do you? Do you think that now that Chahar has Soviet Russia in the north and Russia in the south, he will not be able to come out and fight us if he is contained, right? Do you think that even if Su Tong sends troops to attack us, we can deal with him? Seeing that Ma Hongkui asked four questions in a row, Ma Dunjing lowered his head in shame.

"You're wrong, little two! Chahar's strength is not something you can imagine. Now Chahar still has 300,000 troops in Siberia surrounding Lao Maozi's more than 200,000 troops, yes, these are his elite troops. But in Chahar, he still has an army of 400,000 guarding against Xiao Yuben. Even if these troops are not his elite, if he randomly draws a few divisions, it is not something we can contend with. Yes, we have tens of thousands of cavalry troops, but I ask you, if he sends a tank division, will you be able to use these cavalry to defend against those steel monsters? ”

Ma Hongbin sighed next to him and said: "Little Er, Uncle knows that you look down on this grassroots Su Tong, thinking that he only came to this point by luck, but think about it, can the war be a fluke?" Didn't you see that even he and the 300,000 old Maozi of the Far Eastern Military District of Soviet Russia were rushed to Mongolia to build roads, can you do it if you change it? If he Su Tong really sent troops over, what awaits our Ma family will be a catastrophe! ”

Ma Dunjing suddenly knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Abba, second uncle, I was wrong!" You leave me to Su Tong and them to deal with, let them kill or kill Xiao Er, I will have no complaints. ”

Ma Hongkui pulled up Ma Dunjing, his lips trembled slightly: "Xiao Er, no matter how you say it, you are also my son of Ma Hongkui, how can I watch you die?" Now there is only one way to save you, that is, you go to Nanjing to confess your guilt to Chairman Chiang, and as long as the Nanjing side does not sentence you to be executed, I, Ma Hongkui, will have a way to get you out. It's just that this Ningxia is estimated to be unable to be saved. ”

"Abba, do you mean to hand over Ningxia to that Su Tong?" Ma Dun was in a hurry and jumped up: "Abba, this Ningxia is the foundation of our old Ma family, if there is no Ningxia, we will have nothing." ”

"Stupid!" Ma Hongkui shouted: "If I don't have you, what is the use of me Ma Hongkui even if I defend Ningxia!" You don't need to say any more, this matter is settled, and you will immediately bind yourself to Nanjing tomorrow to confess your guilt. You have to remember to go openly, and you have to make a lot of noise along the way, and the bigger the momentum, the safer you will be. Your second uncle will then open up all kinds of joints in Nanjing in advance, with only one purpose, and he will not let you be sentenced to a decisive decision. As long as the person can be saved, it won't be long before I can get you out. ”

"Abba!" At this time, Ma Dunjing, who deeply regretted it, knelt on the ground and wept silently

"Jianming, come and see, this is a telegram from Ma Hongkui in Ningxia just sent in clear code." In the headquarters of the 37th Group Army, Jiang Baili handed over a telegram to Su Tong with a strange expression.

"Hmph, I personally went to Nanjing to confess my guilt and surrender the law, and if you want to kill or chop up, let Nanjing political axe deal with it. It's better to say than to sing. Su Tong said with a disdainful face.

Jiang Baili pointed to the bottom of the telegram and said: "You see, there is also a request for our Chahar political axe to shoot the garrison to Ningxia to protect the smooth flow of trade routes, and he is also willing to return the looted goods, compensate for the loss of the caravan, and automatically resign as the chairman of the Ningxia Provincial Political Axe, he wants to exchange the land of Ningxia Province for his son's life!" ”

Su Tong sighed, it seems that he still underestimated the wisdom of the characters of this era, Ma Hongkui let his son openly bind himself to Nanjing to confess, so Chahar political axe can't openly attack him, otherwise he will be at a loss, and Ma Hongkui also handed over the land of Ningxia Province to himself in the name of protecting the caravan, just to exchange Ningxia for his son's life.

"Did the strong man break his wrist? Hey, hey"! Su Tong sneered.

Placed the message on the table: "My Chief of Staff, what do you think of this message. ”

Jiang Baili smiled, "Since Ma Hongkui wants Ningxia to give it to us, why don't we?" Now that Ma Hongkui has done enough to make a gesture, he is willing to return the goods, compensate for the losses, and give us Ningxia, why don't we? ”

"Oh?" Su Tong smiled playfully: "Are you so sure?" ”

"Of course!" Jiang Baili smiled proudly: "I, Jiang Fangzhen, have hundreds of thousands of troops in my hands at the moment, if I can't even deal with Ma Hongkui's tens of thousands of cavalry, I can directly buy a piece of tofu and kill me." ”

"Hahaha, okay, worthy of being my chief of staff, then please give an order next!" Su Tong gave a thumbs up and smiled.

Jiang Baili did not shirk either, and said loudly: "Communication staff officer, record orders." The communications staff officer standing next to him immediately pulled out the folder.

"Order Bai Yingliao's 1st Armored Division and Peng Zeyuan's 10th Infantry Division to march immediately along the Mongolian border to Ningxia Province, and be sure to reach Yinchuan within two days. After arriving in Yinchuan, he immediately took over the local security, and ordered Ma Hongkui's troops to disarm and surrender, and if anyone resisted, they would be killed. Zhang Lengmo's 11th Infantry Division was on alert along the border line of Gansu, and if Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing had any changes, they could act cheaply. Signed, Thirty-seventh Army Command"

The communications staff officer handed over the telegram to Su Tong and Jiang Baili for signature, and immediately sent it down.

As soon as the order was given, the army immediately took action, and countless vehicles and personnel gathered and drove towards Ningxia.

"Chairman Ma! Chahar political axe calls! In the Ma Mansion in Yinchuan, a staff officer hurriedly walked in.

"Read!" Ma Hongkui, who had his back to the staff officer, said without looking back.

"Chairman Ma, the call has been received, and we are aware of Chairman Ma's sincerity. Jianming had already sent personnel to Yinchuan, and Chairman Wangma restrained the department not to do anything that would make relatives and enemies happy. Otherwise, Jianming cannot guarantee the safety of relevant personnel. Don't make a mistake! Be sure to! After reading this arrogant telegram tremblingly, the staff officer did not dare to say a word, and quietly waited for Ma Hongkui's order.

"Don't make a mistake! Hehe, this Su Tong has such a big breath! Ma Hongkui muttered.

"Chairman, how are we going to call back?" The staff officer next to him asked cautiously.

Ma Hongkui glared: "How else can I call back, just say that I, Ma Hongkui, will do it." ”

"Yes!"
