In 1934, Sun Dianying set out west with his 80,000 horses, and he went to Qinghai to take office, but there was an accident on the way.
When Sun Dianying led his troops to the border of Ningxia, he was ambushed by the army organized by Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and Sun Dianying suffered heavy losses.
In fact, Sun Dianying and Ma Hongkui beat you to death, which chiang kai-shek planned. It all started a year ago. Chiang Kai-shek appointed Sun Dianying as the inspector of tunken in the western district of Qinghai, while Chiang Kai-shek quietly called Ma Hongkui and others and asked them to form a coalition force to intercept Sun Dianying as he passed through Ningxia.
According to Chiang Kai-shek's expected plan, let Sun Dianying and Ma Hongkui fight first, consume each other's strength, and when the other side is about to perish, Chiang Kai-shek will come up and completely defeat him. Neither Sun Dianying nor Ma Hongkui was Chiang Kai-shek's concubine troops, and it was best that the forces on both sides were almost exhausted.
When Sun Dianying was beaten by the combined forces of Ma Hongkui and others, Chiang Kai-shek ordered a bomber to be dispatched to the top of Sun Dianying, and after some bombardment, Sun Dianying suffered heavy losses and finally had to flee to Henan.
After Sun Dianying fled in the wilderness, Ma Hongkui also expressed that he would obey Chiang Kai-shek's dispatches because he had successfully completed the tasks assigned by Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied. In 1936, Chiang Kai-shek awarded Ma Hongkui the rank of lieutenant general in the army, and Ma Hongkui also became a local hegemon in Ningxia.
It can be said that Ma Hongkui firmly grasped the power in Ningxia, and Chiang Kai-shek's education director stationed in Ningxia was successively driven away by Ma Hongkui, and he designated Yang Zuorong to this post, because Yang Zuorong was Ma Hongkui's close confidant.
After Ma Hongkui took power in Ningxia, he had a feeling of being an emperor. Ma Hongkui began a work model in Ningxia called co-office work, and every morning, all the officials would come to see Ma Hongkui, and then he sat in the Taishi chair in the room, waiting for the officials to come in one by one to ask for peace or report on the work.
Ma Hongkui's style of acting is very much like the emperor of feudal society. In his sphere of influence, he frantically plundered the people's fat and people's anointing, and did many things that lost their conscience, and the people complained bitterly. At that time, there was a folk song circulating: the old society, too dark, the horse bandits ruled the misery, and the people did not eat and wear.
In 1937, after the outbreak of the July 7 Incident, Ma Hongkui relied on his own strength and was appointed deputy commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations. In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Ma Hongkui fought the Suixi War of Resistance, and his performance in the battle was considered to be brave.
After Japan announced its surrender, Chiang Kai-shek awarded Ma Hongkui a victory medal and appointed him as the deputy chief of the Northwest Military and Political Bureau. At this time, Ma Hongkui was the peak moment of his life.
After Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan, Ma Hongkui had a hard time surviving there, and he felt that he was always being excluded, so he wanted to leave. Ma Hongkui finally found an excuse, he said that he wanted to send his fourth aunt to Hong Kong for treatment, and took the opportunity to run away from Taiwan. Later, Ma Continued to flee to the United States, eventually settling in Los Angeles.
When Ma Hongkui went to the United States, he took three wives and eight tons of gold to Los Angeles secretly. Ma Hongkui thought that he had made proper arrangements for the second half of his life, and with this gold as the foundation of his family, he must be living a life of gold and jade.
Ma Hongkui gave his money to his fourth aunt, who was named Liu Muxia, who was originally a singer. But Ma Hongkui's aunts and wives often quarreled and quarreled, and their lives did not go well. Ma Hongkui's descendants also went to court because of property problems, and once became the laughing stock of the time.
Ma Hongkui's aunt Zou Deyi fell in love with a Chinese-American professor, and his aunt chose to leave him, and Ma Hongkui was very devastated. Later, the people of the US IMMIGRATION bureau told Ma Hongkui that he could become a U.S. citizen, and Ma Hongkui replied at that time: I was born as a Chinese, died as a Chinese ghost, and when I die, I will be buried in the land of the motherland.
In 1970, Ma died in Los Angeles.
