In 1933, if there was a real Tu Emperor in ningxia, then it must be Ma Hongkui. Although Ma Hongkui was a subordinate of Chiang Kai-shek, in Ningxia, in fact, It was Ma Hongkui's own words, and even the officials sent by Chiang Kai-shek could be dismissed at will, which showed his influence in Ningxia.
Such a powerful figure, and he was also a meritorious minister in our country's War of Resistance Against Japan, what was his later years like?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > Emperor of Ningxia - Ma Hongkui</h1>
Ma Hongkui can be said to be the real emperor of Ningxia, in 1933 he was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the chairman of Ningxia, himself a warlord, he also grasped the political power, Ningxia military and political power fell into the hands of Ma Hongkui. With power, people naturally began to swell, and coupled with the fact that Ningxia was already far away from the emperor, he slowly began not to listen to orders.
According to records and recollections, Chiang Kai-shek sent five education bureau chiefs to Ningxia at that time, all of whom were driven away by Ma Hongkui, and in addition to driving them away, he also installed his own cronies in them. Chiang Kai-shek had no problem with him at all, and could only let him go.
Of course, this is not only the reason for calling him Emperor Tu. What is even more outrageous is that Ma Hongkui was the number one of the military and political powers in Ningxia at that time, and he even had an emperor's shelf in his office. In front of the government building, you can often see a long line in front of his office, and many Ningxia military and political leaders are waiting for him to "receive" every day, looking like an emperor in the upper court.
These actions can be said to have really touched Chiang Kai-shek's anti-scales, and Chiang Kai-shek was very dissatisfied with his style. More importantly, although Ma Hongkui was nominally subordinate to Chiang Kai-shek, in fact Ma Hongkui's army was not under Chiang Kai-shek's jurisdiction.
That is to say, Ma Hongkui is not Chiang Kai-shek's confidant, and at the same time Chiang Kai-shek is a very calculating person, although he hopes that Ma Hongkui can be loyal, but he is still engaged in small actions behind his back.

In order to disintegrate Ma Hongkui's forces, Chiang Kai-shek thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. At that time, Sun Dianying, who had 80,000 heavy troops, marched westward and prepared to enter Qinghai, passing through Western Xia. The troops of Ma Hongkui, Ma Bufang, and others immediately reacted and caught Sun Dianying off guard.
This is the famous four-horse rejection incident in history. A large part of the cause of this incident was planned by Chiang Kai-shek himself, who wanted to come to a sandpiper clam to compete for fishing and profit. At that time, sun dianying and Ma Hongkui were not Chiang Kai-shek's confidants, and Ma Hongkui's behavior in Ningxia was difficult for Chiang Kai-shek to tolerate, so he thought of this method.
In 1934, Sun Dianying was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek to Qinghai, Sun Dianying thought it was a good opportunity to get promoted and get rich, who knew that the trip to Qinghai was his ghost door. On Sun Dianying's way to Qinghai to take up his post, Chiang Kai-shek telegraphed Ma Hongkui and others, asking them to refuse Sun Dianying's entry into Ningxia on Sun Dianying's way to Qinghai (when passing through Ningxia).
The two sides were fiercely fighting, and a great war was about to break out, and the situation in which Chiang Kai-shek wanted the sandpipers to fight each other appeared impressively. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek thought it was simple, Sun Dianying was after all 80,000 elite, although Ma Hongkui was the emperor of Ningxia, naturally he could not please well. At that time, the two sides are almost fighting, both sides are the best, if it is one-sided, he will have to mend the knife.
In the end, Sun Dianying was unable to resist the four-horse attack, Ma Hongkui was like a bamboo all the way, and Sun Dianying's 80,000 elites fled all the way. When Chiang Kai-shek saw that Sun Dianying had lost so quickly, he also had to act. As Sun Dianying fled, Chiang Kai-shek's air force bombers chased and bombed all the way. In the end, Sun Dianying retreated to Henan and never recovered again.
Although Chiang Kai-shek's idea of killing two birds with one stone was eventually aborted, fortunately, he still dealt the greatest blow to Sun Dianying's troops, and also won Ma Hongkui well. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Ma Hongkui as deputy commander of the Eighth Theater.
Ma Hongkui also lived up to expectations, although a large number of conscripts, but in the Suixi battlefield, Ma Hongkui made great achievements in battle, and repeatedly refused to be wooed by the Japanese army. According to Ma Hongkui's own words, he had a national vendetta against the Japanese army, and although he was a warlord, he could also be regarded as an anti-Japanese hero of our country.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Ma Hongkui was awarded the Victory Medal by Chiang Kai-shek. Such a character should be valued, but his ending is very tragic.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > fled with money and was miserable in his old age</h1>
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, our country soon began the War of Liberation. During the Liberation War, Ma Hongkui not only did not wake up, but also constantly resisted the Chinese People's Liberation Army. In the end, justice will eventually defeat evil, the Kuomintang soldiers will be defeated and returned to Taiwan, and Ma Hongkui will follow Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan.
After coming to Taiwan, Ma Hongkui's life was not good, because he did not obey Chiang Kai-shek's command in Ningxia that year, and he was not yet a concubine, Chiang Kai-shek was very suspicious of him. Ma Hongkui was not a fool, he knew that at this time he should run away.
Therefore, Ma Hongkui fled to the United States with three wives and 8 tons of gold on the pretext of recuperation. 8 tons of gold is not a small amount, Ma Hongkui lives in the United States with taste, and there are beautiful women around him, but unfortunately he believes in the wrong person.
At that time, he gave all the money to his fourth aunt to take care of. Faced with the temptation of money, the fourth aunt finally ran away with the money, this time Ma Hongkui was dumbfounded, without money, he could not live in the United States for a day. Ma Hongkui also thought about returning to China, but was rejected, and eventually died in Los Angeles.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > conclusion</h1>
Ma Hongkui's body is stained with the blood of too many innocent people, and his fate is largely due to his obsession with power. Therefore, in his later years, when he wanted to regret it, he could not regret it and ended up dying in a foreign country.
