As one of the four horses in the northwest, Ma Hongkui, as the chairman of Ningxia Province, has been entrenched in Ningxia for seventeen years, he is fierce and fierce, and he is also absurd, and the evil deeds he commits will be nailed to the column of shame of history.
As a major representative of the local forces in Ningxia, Ma Hongkui's origin was not low, and his father Ma Fuxiang was the governor of Suiyuan Andi and the Northwest Border Defense Inspector, when Yuan Shikai, jealous of local forces, asked warlords everywhere to send their sons to Beijing as hostages, and Ma Hongkui was not spared.
At that time, Ma Hongkui entered Beijing as a military attaché of the bodyguard, and after Yuan Shikai's death, he became Li Yuanhong's attendant military attaché, and he intentionally made friends with many big figures, laying a deep foundation for himself to enter politics.
During the Battle of the Central Plains, Ma Hongkui followed Han Fuyu and Shi Yousan to send a telegram in Luoyang against Feng Yongjiang, for which he was also rewarded by Chiang Kai-shek, and the 17th Division under his command was expanded into the 11th Army of the Rebel Army, and he also became the commander and commander of the Zhengzhou Garrison, and his power increased greatly.
With the support of the elder Jiang, Ma Hongkui gradually became the chairman of Ningxia Province, and thus began his absurd career as emperor of Ningxia.
Speaking of Ma Hongkui's life has three major hobbies, listening to drama, collecting wealth, marrying his wife, when he was not yet rich, his parents arranged an arranged marriage for him, he married Ma's wife, although Ma's noble is the main room, but he is very afraid of Ma Hongkui, so Ma Hongkui has always acted unrestrained, and the family is a group of wives and concubines.
When he was on a business trip in Beijing, Ma Hongkui became acquainted with his fourth aunt Liu Muxia, and among his many aunts and wives, Liu Muxia should be the most favored one.
Although Liu Muxia was born ordinary, he was good at singing, and Ma Hongkui, who often lingered in the major theater gardens at a glance, fell in love with Liu Muxia, who was in a graceful posture on the stage.
Later, Ma Hongkui often took his men to listen to plays in Liu Muxia's theater, he was almost every day, and gradually, Liu Muxia also began to notice this rich boy who was dressed unusually, but when Ma Hongkui expressed his love to Liu Muxia, this Liu Muxia already had a heart and rejected him on the spot.
Ma Hongkui did not want the beauty that was about to arrive to slip away, he inquired in many ways, not only to get Liu Muxia's family, but also to force away Liu Muxia's fiancé.
Seeing that there was no obstacle stone, Ma Hongkui directly brought a large number of gifts to the door to propose to the family, and the Liu family agreed to the marriage without thinking about it because they were greedy for money.
After marrying Ma Hongkui, Liu Muxia knew that there were three aunts in front of her, she was very angry, she returned to her mother's house on the same day, but she could not stand Ma Hongkui's money, he let his men go to the Liu family with a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, this Liu Muxia's parents saw the money and money and smiled, but took the initiative to send their daughter back, and later Ma Hongkui married the fifth aunt and the sixth aunt, although these women have resisted, but they can't turn over any storm.
When He first took office in Ningxia, he pretended to be going to do a big job, but in fact, it was to satisfy his own selfish desires.
Adhering to the principle that if you have a gun, you have power, and if you have power, you have money, Ma Hongkui began to be nepotistic in order to consolidate his position, and under his deployment, all the officials appointed by the Kuomintang were expelled from Ningxia, and all the armies and parties in Ningxia were under his control.
Ma Hongkui not only converted all the ill-gotten gains he had looted into gold bars, but also wantonly squeezed the common people and levied all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, making the poor people at the bottom miserable.
In order to buy people's hearts, Ma Hongkui allowed his men to act recklessly in the local area, and all kinds of burning and looting continued, and gradually, the common people hated the name of Ma Hongkui to the extreme, but they dared not speak out.
In 1949, the Kuomintang began to retreat in the national battlefield, and after the loss of the northwest, Ma Hongkui, who had long lost the hearts of the people, fled to Taiwan with his family.
Because of the loss of the northwest, Lao Jiang wanted to take people to open the knife, and at that time everyone was pulling the strings, and Ma Bufang and others secretly united and threw the responsibility to Ma Hongkui, so Ma Hongkui was suspended from his post and investigated.
Disheartened, Ma Hongkui thought of leaving Taiwan as soon as possible, so after discussing with his fourth aunt Liu Muxia, he had a plan in mind.
A few days later, Liu Muxia went to Hong Kong on the pretext of seeing a doctor, and then sent a critically ill telegram to Ma Hongkui, who went to Lao Jiang with the telegram, hoping that he would approve his visit to Hong Kong.
Old Jiang had already gained insight into Ma Hongkui's plan, but he did not show his face and still agreed to Ma Hongkui's request, but Ma Hongkui had one condition for leaving Taiwan, that is, he would not be allowed to engage in politics again.
After arriving in Hong Kong, because of the mixture of various forces and the rampant secret agents, Ma Hongkui was worried about his own safety, and he had the idea of going to the United States, so he found the American Chennault and asked him to help him apply for a fake passport, so that he could go to the United States with several aunts and wives.
Because the aunts and wives did not meet the rules for applying for passports, Ma Hongkui turned them into his secretaries and sisters.
In 1950, Ma Hongkui and his family flew to San Francisco, where they had been settling.
Ma Hongkui had been in Ningxia for more than a decade, and had already plundered huge amounts of wealth, and during the Liberation War, he smelled that the defeat of the Kuomintang had been decided, so he secretly transferred a large amount of property to Hong Kong, and then before leaving Hong Kong, with the help of Chennault, he transported up to 7 tons of gold to the United States.
Ma Hongkui, who has a lot of wealth, thought that he could live a dashing life in the United States, but he did not expect that he was ostracized by the white race because he was not good at English and was Chinese.
Although Ma Hongkui promised Chiang Kai-shek that he would no longer engage in politics, he could not let go of his desire for power, and not long after arriving in the United States, the Taiwan authorities expelled Ma Hongkui from the party, and Ma Hongkui's hopes of entering politics were completely shattered.
At that time, ma Bufang, who was one of the four horses, seized the opportunity after fleeing to the Middle East and became the so-called ambassador to Saudi Arabia, and this incident made Ma Hongkui's heart very unbalanced.
He always stressed that he was not cruel enough to be able to inflict such a poisonous hand on the Communist Party, and the other was that there was no more gold than Ma Bufang, which was a bit funny, and 7 tons of gold was indeed not much in his opinion, which showed the degree of corruption within the Kuomintang.
Ma Hongkui, who bought a number of properties in Los Angeles, in order to avoid sitting on the mountain in the future, directly bought a large piece of the bottom and started a pastoral business, with horse breeding as the main business.
Ma Hongkui has its own considerations for engaging in horse farms, one is to make money, and the other is to provide for his own enjoyment.
Although he lost power, but the beauty and wealth in his hands, he still had the capital to squander, and At that time, Ma Hongkui often went to high-end entertainment venues and lived a life of luxury and fornication.
However, Ma Hongkui's life seems to be comfortable, and the three aunts and wives in the family are doing things, often making chickens fly and jump.
When he was in Ningxia, Ma Hongkui was very fond of the fourth aunt Liu Muxia, but when he married the fifth aunt, Zou Deyi, his focus shifted to the fifth aunt, which made Liu Muxia always hold a grudge.
Ma Hongkui had many births under his name, most of which were handed over to the fourth aunt to take care of, and the fifth aunt was not willing to show weakness, in order to calm the people, Ma Hongkui gave a coal mine shares to his fifth aunt, under the comfort of the family, this family only maintained the peace shown.
As for the sixth aunt, Zhao Lanxiang, she rarely participated in the dispute.
After mastering the family's financial power, Liu Muxia began to make things difficult for Zou De, often withholding her living expenses, being bullied by Liu Muxia, Zou De was very dissatisfied, she always ran to Ma Hongkui to cry, and at this time Ma Hongkui was getting older, plus he was suffering from diabetes in his 60s, he had limited energy, but repeatedly advised the fifth aunt and Wan shixing.
The fifth aunt, Zou De, saw that Ma Hongkui did not have the status of the head of the family at home, and she had other small calculations in her heart, and it was not long before she met a Chinese American and quickly fell in love, while Ma Hongkui felt that she was wearing a green hat, but she could only turn a blind eye.
Later, Zou Deyi proposed a divorce to Ma Hongkui, and although he was reluctant, he still tearfully agreed and gave her a fee to complete her and the Chinese-American.
The family contradictions made Ma Hongkui very anxious, and what really made him despair was that something happened to the ranch.
Because of the huge difference between the business philosophy and the Americans, although Ma Hongkui has invested a lot of money in the ranch, he still cannot maintain the operating state and is in danger of bankruptcy.
At this time, fate gave Ma Hongkui another blow, and he was actually sued by his grandson in court after losing both career and love.
It turned out that the two sons followed him to the United States together, and after the death of his son Ma Dunhou, he left his grandson Ma Jiahua, and Ma Hongkui divorced the fifth aunt, leaving only the fourth aunt and the sixth aunt around, and the sixth aunt Zhao Xianglan was very virtuous and responsible for taking care of his daily life.
For many years, it has been another son, Ma Dunjing, who is taking care of the family estate, but this son's means are not very honorable, which makes his grandson Ma Jiahua very dissatisfied, and ma Jiahua, who has been exploited and oppressed, broke with his uncle after the death of his father, of course, his relationship with his grandfather is not very good.
At first, Ma Jiahua put his daughter next to his grandfather to help raise her, and now he wants to bring his daughter back, but he is opposed by Ma Hongkui.
Ma Jiahua sued Ma Hongkui in court in a fit of rage, and the picture of the grandfather and grandson facing the court was very dramatic, and after Ma Hongkui lost the case, he was angry and attacked, so he couldn't afford it.
In 1962, Ma Hongkui wrote a letter exposing the evil deeds of Ma Bufang's father and son, and when the Taiwan authorities invited him to return, he did not respond.
In his later years, Ma Hongkui was also invited by the US authorities to become a U.S. citizen, but he also categorically refused.
He once said to his family, it is your freedom not to join the United States, and I will not interfere, but I am Chinese, and I will die on the soil of China.
In 1970, Ma Hongkui died of illness in Los Angeles, accompanied by Liu Muxia and Zhao Lanxiang, as well as a dilapidated farm, when at the time of his death, Ma Hongkui still muttered to himself that he wanted to fall back to his roots.
In fact, Ma Hongkui, who was desolate in his later years, can also be regarded as self-inflicted, he occupied the northwestern land, colluded with old Chiang Kai-shek, and persecuted many ordinary people and revolutionaries, perhaps this is retribution.
After Ma Hongkui's death, Zhao Xianglan sent his body back to Taiwan and buried it in a Muslim cemetery.
The first half of Ma Hongkui's life can be described as infamous, and his wife and daughter were separated in his later years, which can also be regarded as evil retribution, but the suffering he brought to the people in Ningxia can never be forgotten.
