Later military historians argued endlessly about why the Four Horses launched such an idiotic attack, and the Four Horses became synonymous with idiots for a time.

But a little more normal people don't believe that the four horses who can crisscross the northwest will be idiots, if they are idiots, then wouldn't they be pigs who have been oppressed by them for many years?

The mystery was finally revealed by Ma Fuxiang, one of the four horses who surrendered to the Nationalist Government and received preferential treatment and retired......

"Actually, I don't agree with any jihad, because jihad is a double-edged sword. As I expected, after the 300,000 jihadist fighters entered Lanzhou, not only did they not intimidate the Han army as Ma Anliang had planned, but they first deterred us. Can't these guys who fight for Allah bring some food for themselves? As a result, we had to find a way to solve the problem of feeding these 300,000 people before the war, and it was easy to ask God to send God, and you still couldn't disband them, and those imams who had never seen the market at all insisted that these 300,000 mujahideen who didn't even have rifles could take over the whole of China. Have they ever seen a cannon? Have they ever seen a heavy machine gun? Do they think that it is still the world of the full moon scimitar? The Battle of Lanzhou is the largest and most sloppy battle I have fought in the army for many years. ”

When Ma Fuxiang's grandson asked why Ma Fuxiang lost the battle so quickly and so badly that day, Ma Fuxiang said excitedly: "Can you blame me?" Can we be blamed for that? In fact, even if we take our brothers to face him and Wu Ziyu face to face, it won't be able to hold up even a day's hard work? But we really can't help it, 300,000 mouths, if we don't send them to the battlefield and then raise them, we must be the first to die in the end. But how easy is it to send them to war? There were no officers, no formation, and it took us a lot of time just to drive them from Lanzhou to Yuzhong. In the end, they launched an attack according to the temporary battle sequence of the imams they belonged to, originally thinking that no matter how bad they were, they would be able to consume a little Han army. Unexpectedly, the charge of so many people did not bring a little loss to the enemy in the end, but the main position of our army was still disrupted by these people. I remember very well that at that time, Commander Ma Anliang saw that the situation was not good, and directly ordered the whole line to retreat, and as a result, we had a full 100,000 army and let these grandsons drag it down, and we lost most of our baggage before we finally escaped back to Lanzhou to set up defenses. And when we arrived in Lanzhou, we found that there was no point in arming here anymore, because we lost all the artillery ......."

lifted a stone but smashed his own foot, at this moment it is very appropriate to use this sentence to describe Ma Anliang, the head of the four horses. Although the other three horses didn't say anything, Ma Anliang wanted to die after escaping back to Lanzhou, and he felt sorry for his dead father, Ma Zhanao, no matter how he thought about it.

Although the casualties of the four-horse army were not large, and there were about 90,000 of the 100,000 people who went to Lanzhou to count them, the morale was gone, and the fear of war had risen. At this time, the internal instability factors will naturally continue to attack, and the first thing to happen is Ma Fuxiang, the envoy of Ningxia Town. Although Ma Fuxiang is a Hui, his words and deeds are no different from those of the Han people, and he is very knowledgeable about current affairs. For the situation in front of him, he knew very well that there was little hope for his side to win, and now it was time to find a way out for himself......

Compared with Sima's frustration and the fear of the Hui people, Wu Peifu's situation is not much better, he is more shocked. This one was still planning how to fight, and there was news that Feng Yuxiang had an amazing record of breaking the 400,000 Hui army with a small victory and a big victory, and Wu Peifu really didn't recover from this huge victory for a while, except for letting the staff officers routinely report to Wuhan and Nanjing.

After a while, Wu Peifu slapped the table and shouted: "Order all troops to start a large-scale attack and operation immediately according to the original plan, and order Xiao Yao to immediately carry out the intersperse, and be sure to cut off the road between Gansu and Qinghai, Lao Tzu is not interested in pursuing on the Qinghai Plateau with a large army." ”

At this time, the question of Qinghai's ownership was also basically decided, and Wang Zhenyu took the first step in the implementation of the solution to the national problem formulated by himself. Chen Shao's method was adopted, and Qinghai was changed to Qinghai-Tibet Province and directly assigned to Tibetan Buddhism. According to this plan, the Muslims living here will be ruthlessly driven out, unless they are willing to believe in Tibetan Buddhism or some other religion......

On December 6th, it snowed heavily, Wu Peifu's army entered Lanzhou, the army of the four horses had a dispute, Ma Fuxiang took his team to defect to Wu Peifu, and the other three horses were also frightened after learning the news that the Han army appeared on their retreat, and quickly withdrew. This city of 150,000 people still had a population of 90,000 after experiencing the catastrophe of the Muslim Holy War, and almost 30,000 Hui people of this 90,000 population fled because they feared that the Han army would adopt a policy of retaliatory massacre after entering the city. So when Wu Peifu drove into the historical city of Lanzhou, he saw the ruins of most of the city and a city with a population of less than 60,000. After organizing an army to collect the bodies of the slain Han residents, Wu Peifu, who was extremely grieved, accepted the advice of Gu Zhenglun, the commander of the military police, and issued an order for the execution of the 120,000 Hui captives who had surrendered.

Wu Peifu's subordinates expressed their opposition to this, among which Li Chun, commander of the Second Division, and Yu Xuezhong, commander of the Sixth Division, opposed it most strongly. Yu Xuezhong almost grabbed Wu Peifu's hand and begged: "Yu Shuai, we can't fix this matter like this, once the killing ring is opened, the Hui people all over the world will regard us as mortal enemies, and what awaits us at that time is endless resistance!" ”

Gu Zhenglun also mentioned this to Yang Wangui, and Yang Wangui almost immediately filled it back with Wang Zhenyu's words: "For those who want to shout and kill at every turn, if you really clean him up, he will stop being honest." ”

So Gu Zhenglun immediately shouted loudly: "General Yu, how can you be a woman's kindness, how much do you know about this touching death?" Do you know their teachings? Do you understand their essence? Their essence is, I absolutely don't respect your habits, but you have to respect mine; I definitely don't think about your ideas, but you have to respect mine; I can curse you to Hell when you die, but you cannot say that I am unreasonable. When we MSL are the majority of the population, we can dispose of the Kafir as we please; When the Kafir is in the majority, we must be treated with kindness. You don't know what Kafer is, but everyone who doesn't believe in their Allah is. Obviously, they are no longer human beings, so my opinion is not to give them a chance to be human beings, to give them death with our weapons, and when they can no longer bear the weight of death, they will naturally sit down and think about whether to respect the right to live of others for the sake of their own right to live. ”

After Gu Zhenglun's words were finished, everyone fell into silence. Yu Xuezhong finally shook his head and said, "I think Commander Gu's words may be reasonable, but these 120,000 people have laid down their arms, and we want to continue to slaughter them, where is our credit?" Where is our morality? Our Sixth Division can't do this, I'm sorry. ”

Li Chun also waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me, those people under me are also so virtuous." ”

There were two people who objected at once, and the atmosphere at the scene immediately became a little cold, and Gu Zhenglun naturally knew that this was a protest against himself. He stood up again: "I have 20,000 gendarmes in my hands, and I don't need to worry about what to do, but I must remind you that the ethnic and religious policies we have adopted in the northwest region are not determined by my personal preferences. These are all decisions made by the higher decision-making levels of the Nationalist Government, and if you still plan to continue to eat this bowl of rice from the Youth Army, you had better abide by this decision honestly. Do not overflow with love, do not distinguish between friend and foe, and sympathize with those who regard us as Kafeiler, or if their power becomes strong in the future, the first unfortunate person will be all of you here, and take your leave! ”

After saying that, Gu Zhenglun walked away, and the angry Feng Yuxiang slapped the table and said: "The generals of these young armies are younger than the other, and they are more arrogant and proud, and they don't take us seriously at all......

Wu Peifu didn't speak when he heard this, and the chief of staff Tao Zhiyue was not easy to speak, and finally Li Chun spoke: "I said Huanzhang, you have to pay attention to your mouth, we are all wearing the uniforms of the Youth Army and holding the salary of the Youth Army." Now it's not Beiyang, if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, if you want to live well, it's best not to mention their youth army, otherwise if something happens to you, don't blame the brothers for not pulling you. ”

"You ......" Feng Yuxiang was about to open his mouth to refute, but when he thought of Li Chun's seniority, he had to endure it.

At this time, Wu Peifu said: "Those prisoners of war will be handed over to the gendarmerie, how to toss is his business, and we also save the back, to be honest, why is Wuhan so extreme this time I really don't understand?" According to my temperament, since I can't understand it, I won't read it. Now that Ma Fuxiang has taken refuge in him, let's discuss how we should clean up the three horses next, just now Chief of Staff Tao said that this Qinghai will not allow non-Tibetan Buddhist forces to live and control in the future, except for this. And Xiao Yaonan, this kid, is said to have stuck Sanma's retreat, so the next battle is actually a big pursuit. When the Hui army in Gansu is defeated, the door of Xinjiang will be opened to us...... Therefore, I hope that all of you here will put aside your grievances and doubts for the time being, follow me to complete this combat mission honestly, and now go back and assign tasks to your troops......"
