From the winter of 1933 onwards, Chiang Kai-shek planned to screen his generals. On the surface, it seems that Sun Dianying was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but secretly he single-handedly arranged the plan of "four horses rejecting Sun". On the one hand, Chiang Kai-shek promoted Sun Dianying to the post of Governor of Tunken in the Western District of Qinghai, in effect targeting Ningxia with the intention of annexing the northwest. On the other hand, Ma Hongkui was secretly telegraphed, causing him to strike hard during Sun Dianying's tenure.
Both Sun Dianying and the "Four Horses" represented by Ma Hongkui have extremely strong military strength, and they are not Chiang Kai-shek's concubines. Under the bed, do not allow others to snore. Chiang Kai-shek's move can also be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. On the other hand, according to historical records, when Ma Hongkui became the chairman of Ningxia in 1933, he acted like the emperor of Ningxia, sitting high on the Taishi chair, and every morning his subordinates had to line up outside the door and wait for the summons in turn. Even the education director sent by Chiang Kai-shek, Ma Hongkui, did not care to take away 5. How could such a move not make Chiang Kai-shek wary?
Chiang Kai-shek superficially reused them, but in fact he was dissatisfied, and he was eager for the forces of the two sides to fight for their lives at an early date, and it was best to lose both sides, so that the forces of both sides could be eliminated in one fell swoop. After four months of fierce fighting, Sun Dianying lost his troops and was forced to flee to Henan by bombers sent by Chiang Kai-shek, while Ma Hongkui was commended for completing his mission. In 1936, he received the rank of lieutenant general.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945, Ma Hongkui was favored by Chiang Kai-shek and became the deputy chief of the Northwest Military and Political Chief's Office, and after that, he was even more glorious. After the defeat of the Kuomintang in 1949, he had to flee to Taiwan. However, because Ma Hongkui's fundamental forces were far away in the northwest, coupled with the fact that he was not Chiang Kai-shek's concubine forces, the situation in Taiwan was quite difficult. The defeated public opinion and the pressure of the government forced him to take responsibility for the war situation in the northwest, and the Taiwan authorities even punished him with "dismissal and investigation."
Ma Hongkui, who was accustomed to being the emperor of the earth, surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, and even more had a million family wealth, how could he be willing to endure such a life. In 1950, Ma Hongkui secretly planned to send his fourth aunt to Hong Kong, and then Ma Hongkui took 8 tons of gold and 3 wives, fled directly to Taiwan to Hong Kong, and then transferred to the United States, and has been living in Los Angeles ever since. At first, Ma Hongkui's life in Los Angeles was also very comfortable, no one forced him to be responsible for the defeat, no one would point fingers at him, with the 8 tons of gold in his hand, life in Los Angeles naturally did not have to worry about it.
But he should never play a game, should not give all the family property to the fourth aunt to manage, the other party is not good at taking care of the family property, but also absconded with money. In the strange United States, Ma Hongkui's power had no foundation at all, and his property could not be recovered at all, and since then his living standards have plummeted. In his later years, he was even more lonely and sickly, and he tried to return to China several times, but was rejected. Finally, in January 1970, he drifted overseas for half a life and died in a foreign country, ending a legendary and controversial life.
