After the Lanzhou incident, the whole country was shocked. On November 29, the "Declaration," "Ta Kung Pao," and "Wuhan Daily" published photographs and written materials sent back by agents of the Lanzhou Station of the Security Bureau at the risk of death. For a time, the whole country was boiling, and the Japanese smelled blood from this, and the British and French ministers, led by British Minister Zhu Erdian, jointly sent a telegram to Wang Longzhong, acting chairman of the Nationalist Government, to express shock and mourning over the religious wars and bloody massacres that had recently occurred in Gansu, and they would support the Nationalist Government and its subordinate armies in carrying out the necessary armed punishment in the region against the inhumane and inhumane extremist religion......

The Beijing government, which had originally intended to continue to be a shrinking turtle, was forced by international pressure to issue a crusade against the four horses in the northwest region in the name of the central government, and Zhang Guangjian, who had already stepped down from his post as the overseer of Gansu, was arrested by the Nationalist government for dereliction of duty after a very tragic trip to Xi'an. In charge of the arrest operation was Gu Zhenglun, the chief of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Police Corps, who had just been transferred to Xi'an. However, Gu Zhenglun's official luck has been very constant recently, and when he went to Europe, he was only the chief of staff and head of the division, and he was half a level lower than the Youth Army, but when he came back a year, he became the director of the investigation department of the military police headquarters, and this time he was appointed as the chief of the Shaanxi military police, and his military rank was a serious major general. Before he could step into Xi'an, a telegram from Yang Wangui, commander of the military police on the back foot, directly appointed Gu Zhenglun as the commander of the military police unit of the Northwest Frontier Army, and ordered him to immediately return to Wuhan to report on his work. Gu Zhenglun naturally knew that he had only been in office for three days, and he had no job to talk about at all, so it was naturally another errand to recall him so urgently. But it is not good to go back to Wuhan empty-handed, so Gu Zhenglun unceremoniously personally led the team to arrest Zhang Guangjian, and then drove to the Xi'an military airport that had just been hastily built by the Air Force engineering unit, took a small plane with an eleven seats to Zhengzhou, and then returned to Wuhan overnight by train.

Gu Zhenglun went straight to the round place full of expectations, but he regretted very much that Chairman Wang was too busy to meet him in person. But he conveyed a very confidential task to Gu Zhenglun through Yang Wangui's confidant......

"Ah, Commander Yang, you're crazy, do this, do this, we will be notorious for doing this" In the office of the Minister of the Military Police and the Military Police Commander, Gu Zhenglun's voice reached its peak, fortunately, the sound insulation of the room was good, and most of the staff of the Military Commission were off work at this time, and all Yang Wangui's henchmen were guarding the door, otherwise Yang Wangui would shoot Gu Zhenglun's loud voice if he didn't protect it.

"What are you shouting, you still dare to be a gendarmerie with such a little gut?" Yang Wangui interrupted Gu Zhenglun's words very impatiently.

Gu Zhenglun nodded and shook his head again: "But Commander Yang, this matter is not so simple for him, do you know how many Hui people there are in that place?" Do you know how many people in the entire Northwest believe in Islam? If you follow the requirements of your plan, what will happen if the Northwest tosses a big mess? ”

Yang Wangui shook his head, took out a cigarette and lit it and took a few deep breaths and said, "That's not something you kid has to worry about, I just ask you, can you take this errand?" I can also tell you one thing clearly, you kid is planning to see it, if you dare not take on the errand, then it is very simple, take off this military uniform, I have reserved a place for you in the special prison directly under the military police headquarters. ”

Gu Zhenglun seems to know Yang Wangui for the first time, all along, as a veteran of the Youth Army, Yang Wangui gives everyone the impression that in addition to his lack of ability, he is modest. No matter who he saw, he was a smiling face, but today he suddenly changed his face into a tiger, Gu Zhenglun was very conflicted in his heart, he just flipped through the documents in that folder as quickly as possible, and the more he looked at it, the more shocking it became, this was probably the most evil, bloodiest, and most brutal thing he had ever seen. And now this evil plan has to be carried out by himself, and it is not okay not to go, because he already knows this thing that he should not know.

Gu Zhenglun was silent, he really couldn't accept such a task, but he also couldn't give up everything he had now. He was born in a remote province like Guizhou, and it was not easy for him to come out of here and get to where he is today, in the words of his fellow countryman and major general, He Yingqin, who crawled out of the pile of dead people step by step.

Seeing that Gu Zhenglun was caught in an unprecedented contradiction, a big guy like Yang Wangui naturally followed up and threw out a fragrant dumpling: "Brother Ji Chang, life is short, why be so pedantic?" What we are doing with Dashuai is to seek a great foundation for this nation and this country, if you always care about your own feathers, you will miss a big thing. You are still young, and our career is also on the rise, if you can't keep up with the big handsome at this time, then it will be difficult to keep up in the future. Think about it yourself, be cautious, and be wise in both public and private affairs. ”

It would be false to say that it was not at all tempted, and according to the promises in the plan, the so-called North-Western Frontier Gendarmerie Command has long been beyond the scope of ordinary gendarmerie units in terms of jurisdiction. Strictly speaking, it is a military-police complex, and the Northwest Frontier Gendarmerie not only has the power to supervise the garrisons in Xinjiang, Gansu, and Qinghai, but also has three reinforced corps within the three provinces (the regular corps is composed of four to eight subordinate detachments, which is finally determined according to its jurisdiction). The reinforced corps is different from the regular corps with an independent gendarmerie brigade and the regular military force of three detachments in Vietnam). Carefully calculated, it is 33 detachments, about 60,000 military forces, and once the achievements are made, the military rank is automatically promoted to lieutenant general, and the post is also the deputy head of the military police headquarters. It can be said that as long as you do your errands well, the future is bright.

But thinking about the terrifying things in the document, Gu Zhenglun let out a long sigh, and finally asked resignedly: "Why did you choose me?" ”

Yang Wangui immediately became big when he heard this question, how do I know why I want to choose you, the No. 1 member of the Standing Committee Lou directly ordered your general. Thinking so in his heart, he couldn't say that, Yang Wangui said in a deep voice: "Because you are the best officer in our gendarmerie system. ”

Gu Zhenglun nodded and saluted: "Do your best to complete this plan." ”

As he spoke, he was about to pick up the plan and leave, but Yang Wangui said: "You put down the plan, do it with your heart, don't leave anything textual, our youth army must be a bright existence, and you come on!" You don't want to go to the hotel, wash up, I'll arrange for you to meet Gong Peng, the head of the Northwest Station of the Security Bureau, and Ma Xiren, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Armaments, this time the plan is strictly the cooperation of the three of you. ”

Gu Zhenglun nodded, put down the plan, and turned to leave, and after the door closed, Yang Wangui took the plan out of the folder and threw it directly into the charcoal. Looking at the plan that burned out as the flames burned to ashes, Yang Wangui suddenly sighed and said: "It's too ruthless!" ”

When Gu Zhenglun returned to the northwest, a nickname that belonged to him gradually spread throughout the Islamic world, "Ibris, the greatest demon in the Qur'an, said to be a little higher than Allah mana)......

Let's go back to the Lanzhou Campaign, in fact, this war was asymmetrical from the beginning. Although the Ma Jiajun in the northwest was famous, even the Tibetans had to avoid three points. However, that was only in the northwest, and in fact, the actual combat strength of the entire army was not enough to see in front of Wu Peifu's eyes, and the equipment was backward, the training was backward, and there was no strong reinforcement from outside. Wu Peifu analyzed that this army was only ravaged by himself, and he really didn't understand where the confidence on the other side came from, so he actually sent an envoy to ask for a face-to-face duel to the death.

"Are they going to drown me with a sea of people tactic?" Looking at the dry Hexi Corridor, Wu Peifu gave up the conjecture that the Seventh Army was flooded by the other party and won more with less. According to his habit, since he can't think of how the other party can defeat him, then simply don't think about it.

Many years later, Feng Yuxiang, then the commander of the Third Division of the Northwest Frontier Army, wrote in his memoirs: "In fact, the Battle of Lanzhou, which has been studied by everyone, is just a battle in my opinion, but this battle was indeed fought a little hard, and now in retrospect, it is not only Wu Dashuai, but also our soldiers......

Maybe it's really the mourning soldiers who will win, unlike other units of the Youth Army who wear black veils as required, the Northwest Frontier Army is in accordance with Wu Peifu's order to wear linen and filial piety to go out, 200,000 troops are mighty for dozens of miles, such an army appears in Gansu, who is not surprised?

But the army of the four horses was obviously not afraid of this, and they began to organize their own army and 300,000 jihadist fighters to go out to Yuzhong County. Here, the head of the four horses, Ma Anliang (the son of Ma Zhanao, the ancestor of the five horses in the northwest) issued a "declaration of holy war" to more than 400,000 people: "Those who do not believe, whether you warn them or not, it is the same for them, they do not believe after all. and their condition was the same as that of Pharaoh's people, and of all the nations that preceded them; They deny the signs of Allah and fix Allah for their sins. Allah's punishment is severe. Fight against them until the persecution is gone, and all religions are devoted to Allah...... Children, now the army of the Han family is opposite us, they are all servants of the devil, they are enemies of Allah, they are kafal (those who do not believe in Allah). And all we have to do now, as Allah's most loyal servants, is to raise our sabers, kill them, and sacrifice our incomparably holy Allah with their blood. ”

In response to Ma Anliang was the wolf howl of 400,000 beasts
