Chapter 62: Ma Qi Changes

The news of Ma Fuxiang's defeat and escape back to Ningxia soon reached Ma Qi's ears, Ma Qi was very shocked to hear that Ma Fuxiang's 100,000 army was defeated so quickly, although he had thought that Ma Fuxiang would be defeated, but he did not expect to be defeated so quickly and so completely, it seems that the national defense army has long been ready to deal with them.

Ma Qi asked people to understand the reason for Ma Fuxiang's defeat so quickly, and soon he received a telegram arranged to go undercover next to Ma Fuxiang, the telegram said that the Wehrmacht was not fierce and there was an iron box that could spray shells, the iron box was simply a demon, and the cavalry was not the opponent of the iron box at all, so Ma Fuxiang would be defeated so quickly.

After seeing this telegram, Ma Qi finally knew why the Wehrmacht was able to annihilate the Beiyang Army and the Revolutionary Army, and he knew that after this time, the Wehrmacht had enough reasons to attack the northwest, and the northwest would definitely not be an opponent under the attack of the Wehrmacht's army, so now he was waiting for Ma Anliang's news, hoping that Ma Anliang could bring good news so that Ma Jiajun would not be so passive.

Just a few hours after the Guangyuan War, the Huaxia government telegraphed to the whole country announcing that the Majia Army in the northwest had launched a large-scale attack on the national defense forces in Shaanxi and Sichuan a few days ago, and that the Wehrmacht had defeated the attacking Majia army after a hard battle, and that the Majia army in the northwest was bent on provoking a war despite the central government's suppression of the rebellion in Tibet, so the Huaxia government would send troops to the northwest to eliminate the Majia army.

As soon as this news came out, the whole country was shocked, and they never imagined that the northwest would raise troops when the Wehrmacht was fighting the British army, which was to abandon the national righteousness and ignore the shamelessness of the Ma Jiajun. And the people of Sichuan hate Ma Jiajun even more, the good men of Sichuan are fighting against foreign invaders, and your Ma Jiajun is attacking while Sichuan's defense is empty, but as soon as they heard that they have defeated the army invaded by Ma Jiajun, the people of Sichuan are happy again.

Some remnants of the former Qing Dynasty who were dissatisfied with the Chinese government still wanted to take advantage of the defeat of the Wehrmacht in Tibet to raise their little emperor again, but when they saw the fiasco of the Ma Jiajun, they were afraid and did not continue to launch it, and even did not dare to do so in the future.

There were also some obsessive careerists and decadent talents who vigorously attacked the Huaxia government in the newspapers, seizing on the defeat in Tibet and the attack of Ma Jiajun to say that the Huaxia government was unpopular, but they were soon invited to tea by the police.

Zhang Zuolin in the Northeast knew it when Ma Jiajun attacked, and he also wanted to take advantage of this time to enter the customs, if he could have more power, it would be more beneficial to negotiate with the Chinese government in the future, but he was warned by the Japanese as soon as he wanted to enter the customs, and Japan also stationed a large number of troops on the border between Northeast China and Korea, which made Zhang Zuolin very angry. A few days later, Zhang Zuolin suddenly received information that Ma Jia's army had failed, and it had been defeated, and there were not many troops that could escape back to the northwest, which made Zhang Zuolin afraid for a while, because he knew that the national defense army had 200,000 troops guarding against his Northeast Army.

Ma Qi, who was in Xining, also changed his face after knowing that the Ma Jiajun was all defeated, because he knew that the Ma Jiajun was about to end, because the main force was basically gone except for him, but fortunately, the other side did not listen to the Japanese to rashly attack the Wehrmacht, otherwise there would really be no hope.

Ma Anliang, who had just fled back to Lanzhou, soon received Ma Fuxiang's fiasco in Dingbian, which made him almost faint, and now he Ma Jiajun can be said to have nothing, but Ma Anliang quickly thought of the Japanese and hoped that Japan could come out to mediate.

Ma Anliang found several envoys from the Japanese and pleaded: "Now that our northwest has been defeated, we hope to get help from Japan." ”

"Now our empire can only help you mediate, the Huaxia government will never dare not give face to the empire, as for other weapons or something, because the Huaxia government has increased the investigation of the goods, so there is nothing to be done, but you can ask Russia for help." In fact, Japan is powerless for the northwest deep inland, if it is coastal, it can also directly send troops to participate in the war, but Japan does not want the Chinese government to get the northwest so quickly, so it pushes Ma Anliang to the greedy polar bear, I believe that Nicholas II will like this gift very much, and if the Wehrmacht fights with Russia, Japan can take advantage of the fisherman's profit to take the northeast, and even the territory of the Russian Far East.

Ma Anliang's eyes lit up after hearing Russia, now that the agreement with Japan has been annulled, why not use this to hook Russia, with the support of Japan and Russia, I believe that the Chinese government will not dare to attack the northwest, he thought about it and wanted to go to the Russian ambassador in Lanzhou, but when he thought that now his army is basically gone, only Ma Qi's army remains, so he must talk to Ma Qi.

Ma Anliang telegraphed that Ma Qi came to Lanzhou to negotiate, Ma Qi didn't want to go, because he was afraid that Ma Anliang would seize power, but he thought that the army in Qinghai was his henchmen, so he went with 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry just in case.

As soon as Ma Anliang saw Ma Qi, he said to him: "Now we basically have no strength to fight against the Wehrmacht, but the Wehrmacht will definitely not let us go, so we must find a way out." ”

Ma Qi felt a twitch in his heart when he heard this, what do you mean that he will not let us go, is it you are good or not, I didn't do anything, but he still asked calmly: "Then what should I do, I think the Wehrmacht should attack soon." ”

"I want to ask Russia for help, and with Japan's mediation, there should be no problem."

Ma Qi looked at Ma Anliang in shock and said: "What, you want to invite the Russian army in, are you crazy, don't you know the greed of the Russian army, you are pushing the northwest into the sea of fire!" ”

Ma Anliang said fiercely: "What else can we do if we don't do this, the Wehrmacht will not let us go, only in this way can we continue to rule the northwest, I don't want to lose this qiē." ”

Ma Qi didn't speak, he could only look at Ma Anliang in silence, according to Ma Anliang's statement, there was indeed no way out, but he knew that Lu Rongting and the others were living a very nourishing life now, and if he surrendered, he should not be ruthless to himself.

When Ma Anliang saw that Ma Qi stopped talking, he thought it was a tacit acquiescence and said: "It's decided in this way, and after the Russian ambassador returns to Lanzhou in two days, he will contact Russia." ”

Ma Qi didn't know how he got out of the Ma Mansion, he was in a daze, because he knew that this choice would change his life, so he had been thinking about how to choose.

At this time, the national defense forces in Dingbian had crossed the border in Ningxia and were rushing towards Yinchuan, and the troops in Sichuan and Shaanxi were also rushing towards Gansu.

A day later, the Wehrmacht in Dingbian finally arrived in Yinchuan, and they surrounded the whole of Yinchuan, and some of the Ma Jiajun who had fled back were weak when they saw the Wehrmacht, while others had nothing, and even looked at the Wehrmacht fiercely, as if they were very disgusted with the Wehrmacht.

In fact, there is a reason, most of Ma Fuxiang's army is Hui, and after Ma Fuxiang fled back, he vigorously publicized the terror of the Wehrmacht, the Wehrmacht discriminates against ethnic minorities, and the Wehrmacht is here to destroy their peace, so the Hui people, who already hate the Han people, have a grudge against the Wehrmacht.

Duan Qirui first asked people to persuade him to surrender, but Ma Jiajun just didn't surrender, Duan Qirui could only order an attack, tens of thousands of troops attacked Yinchuan together, Ma Jiajun was not an opponent at all, it only took two hours to capture Yinchuan, Ma Fuxiang committed suicide in his room, so far the warlords in Ningxia ended.

Ma Anliang of Lanzhou stepped up his contact with Russia after learning that Ma Fuxiang had committed suicide, and Ma Qi was shocked when he learned about it, he couldn't imagine that the Wehrmacht would attack Ningxia so quickly, and he had to speed up his choice.

Ma Qi closed the door and thought about it for a night, and he finally decided to defect to the Chinese government, because he didn't want to leave a stench for 10,000 years, and letting the Russian army come in was almost like selling the country, and even if Russia came in, it might not be able to win the national defense force, so it was better to take refuge in the Chinese government than to die.

Early the next morning, Ma Qi asked the army to surround Lanzhou, and he personally led the cavalry to quickly surround Mafu, and asked people to control Ma Anliang's remaining soldiers.

Ma Anliang looked at Ma Qi and said fiercely: "What are you doing here, do you want to rebel?" ”

"Yes, I don't want you to let the Russians in, I don't want to leave a stench for 10,000 years, I have long said not to resist the Wehrmacht, but you just listen to the Japanese, the Chinese government is a good government, so I want to change the banner."

Ma Anliang said fiercely: "It's all rice buckets, the Wehrmacht will not let us go, and if you take refuge, you will die." ”

Ma Qi didn't say anything, just watched him go crazy, and after a while Ma Qi went out, and an hour later there was a gunshot in the house, and then the housekeeper of the Ma Mansion ran out and cried and said to Ma Qi: "The master wants you to let go of the old man's family, the old man has left." ”

Ma Qi looked up to the sky and sighed: "Why do you bother, the one who shouldn't want your life, I will leave your family." ”

After Ma Anliang's suicide, Ma Qi immediately telegraphed the whole country to announce the change of banner in the northwest, and from now on, he will obey the dispatch of the Huaxia government.

Qin Yu didn't expect Ma Qi to come here, but he still telegraphed to accept Ma Qi's change of banner, and he ordered Ma Qi to be the governor of Qinghai, but the military power had to be handed over, and Gansu and Ningxia would be arranged by the government.

Not long after Ma Qi changed his name, the governor of Xinjiang did not have a telegram to join the Huaxia government before Ma Jiajun was in the top, but now without Ma Jiajun, Xinjiang must obey the orders of the Huaxia government, otherwise Ma Anliang will be their end, so they also quickly telegraphed to recognize the Huaxia government and obey the dispatch.

Zhang Zuolin in the Northeast was not very shocked when he knew that the Northwest changed banners, after all, it was a matter of time before the Northwest fell into the hands of the Huaxia government, and now he was the only one in the country who did not obey the dispatch of the Huaxia government, and the next thing was to solve their Northeast China, so he was also very worried now, his heart was more inclined to change the banner, but his subordinates all came from a group of bandits, they were used to this kind of powerful life is difficult to change, and even many of them are Japanese lackeys, Zhang Zuolin is now swaying.

At this point, the situation in the northwest has come to an end, and now all that remains is how to govern the mess in the northwest.
