"Since General Ma is tired of his military career, I agree to the general's request on behalf of the Northeast government. As long as the Northeast government is on the day, it will guarantee the safety of the life and property of the general's family. Cui Xiaolong solemnly assured. As for saying that the government pays for them, that's a joke at all. The Western Army has been the king and hegemon in the Ganning region for decades, and Ma Anliang's family has been the first family in the Ganning region for decades, and no one knows how much wealth Ma Anliang has in his hands. But there is absolutely no problem in maintaining a life of luxury. Moreover, after the understanding of the Northeast Public Security Army, Ma Anliang is a son inheriting his father's business, and he is not an excellent commander, otherwise there would not be such a chaotic situation in the Ganning region. Although this has something to do with Zhang Guangjian, the governor of Gansu, it also shows that Ma Anliang's own ability is not good. It is impossible to be a good commander if you have too poor control. Such a general, a young marshal will not be interested either. As for Ma Anliang's heirs, they have no good name. For this kind of family that has no ability and has a lot of property, it is also a good choice to live a happy life as a general.

Ma Anliang nodded. Although he lost his power, it was better than having nothing after being wiped out by the Northeast, and in some ways, giving up his power can be regarded as a man who knows the times!

The Northeast moved quickly, Li Jun didn't want to continue to drag on, and the Northeast Security Army had been delaying long enough in the Ganning area. It's almost October. The climate in Tohoku is already cold, and it will continue to get cold in the future, and the transportation of materials will become more difficult. Therefore, Li Jun was eager to end such a war and bring the Ganning region under the rule of the northeast. Therefore, after Li Jun received the news of Cui Xiaolong's successful negotiations, he sent several secret forces into the range of the Western Army. Assist Ma Anliang to take over the entire Western Army. Although Li Jun seems a little redundant to do this, he doesn't want to take risks, Ma Anliang's ability is really average, who knows what will happen when the Western Army surrenders. Li Jun didn't want to have another problem at this critical moment.

The head of the Zhan family issued a strong statement in the Lanzhou area: "The Zhan family supports the rule of the Northeast Security Army over the Ganning region, and dedicates all the land resources controlled by the family to the Northeast as support, and telegraphs to the local people that the Northeast has been authorized by the central government to supervise the Ganning region." Any brother who resists the Northeast is considered a rebel. ”

The strong declaration of the Zhan family immediately won the support of four or five Han families in Lanzhou. During the period of negotiations between the Northeast and Ma Anliang, the Zhan family was not without gains, at least the Han family was connected by her, and more meaningfully, two Hui clans also announced their support for the Northeast. It's incredible.

The reaction of the Zhan family and other local families has stirred up a monstrous wave in the hearts of the people in the Ganning area. You must know that the original propaganda in the Ganning area is diametrically opposed to the current statement. Many people don't know which side is right, so they simply stop expressing their opinions and watch carefully. And the local wealthy people also want to see Ma Jiajun's reaction, after all, Ma Jiajun is the real ruler of the Ganning region. Moreover, the warlord is also bold, and even issued a declaration in the hinterland of the Western Army, and many families who are red in the status of the warlord are gloating. Thinking that a woman is a woman after all, it is easy to get hot-headed. thinks that the Zhan family is not only unable to pass on the bloodline, but even the current huge family will be destroyed in the hands of a girl. Can Ma Anliang tolerate the Zhan family being so presumptuous? What's more, Ma Anliang is not the only one in Lanzhou, and Zhang Guangjian, the overseer of Gansu, may not be willing to fail. Although now the fighters keep saying that the Northeast Security Army has been authorized by the central government. However, they did not hear that Zhang Guangjian's position as overseer had been taken down by the government. Now everything is confusing, the Northeast Army is in shock, and no one can say whether there will be a big plan of action soon.

But what made everyone stumble was that in the Lanzhou area, not only Ma Anliang didn't move, but Zhang Guangjian was even quieter, as if they didn't see the movements of the Zhan family, and they seemed to acquiesce to the actions of the Zhan family. This makes many people think carefully.

"Chief of Staff! The political commissar just called, he has been in contact with Zhang Guangjian for secret talks, and also put forward the conditions of our northeast, Zhang Guangjian has agreed to our conditions, and led the new army to surrender to us, but in order to make it easy for him to govern in Gansu in the future, he asked the new army to surrender after the western army! Zhang Xiaoshan said lightly.

"That's no problem, our task force has sent a telegram back, and now it has controlled all the troops of the Western Army, and it can make the Western Army revolt at any time!" Li Jun's expression was indifferent, and he did not have the slightest pride and complacency because of the good form.

On September 28, 1916, it must be the most memorable day in the Ganning region, Ma Anliang, the overlord of the Ganning region and the commander of the Western Army, issued a telegram. Declare the lower field and disband the Western Army.

This bombshell news immediately stunned everyone.

Yinchuan, the garrison of the Anning Army.

"Bastard! Bastard! Ma Anliang, this bastard! Ma Fuxiang, who has always been calm, couldn't help but change color. With his wisdom, how could he not judge that the Western Army had already secretly communicated with the Northeast, although Ma Fuxiang had this guess when the Western Army suddenly withdrew, but thinking of the intertwined influence of the Ma Anliang family in the Ganning region, he put this idea behind him. But what I didn't expect at the time to be the least likely happened happened.

Ma Anliang's surrender was fatal for Ma Fuxiang, as it would have put the entire Gansu region in the hands of the Northeast Security Army. And the Ningxia region currently controlled by the Anning Army is completely surrounded by the forces of the Northeast, not to mention whether the Northeast will send a large army to capture it, even if there is no war, they can be trapped to death.

After Ma Fuxiang was angry, his mind gradually calmed down. After a careful analysis of the current form of the Ganning region, the choice was finally made. He can't let his forces be destroyed with him.

"Ma Jin! You can now leave for Guyuan. Meet the commander of the Northeast Security Army, our Anning Army surrenders! Ma Fuxiang also made this decision difficult. After all, the Anning Army was established by him, and only he knows the bitterness and bitterness of it. It is absolutely reluctant to give up like this. He wants to negotiate with the northeast to try to retain the establishment of the Anning Army. It is also counted as a certain future for brothers for many years.

"Yes!"

Although the Western Army announced its disbandment, such a huge force, the Northeast Security Army, would not let it collapse. All the officers of the Western Army were dismissed. There may be excellent talents in it, but there is no shortage of officers in the Northeast now, and there is no need to waste energy on selection, and the loyalty of the selected officers may not be guaranteed.

The integration of such an entrenched old system as the Western Army cannot be completed in a day or two. After the situation was controlled in the Northeast, Ma Anliang very simply took some of his henchmen and family members to set off north under the protection of a battalion of the Northeast Security Army. Because of his sudden defection, the Ma Jiajun in the Ganning area completely collapsed. The Ma family has completely declined, so in the hearts of many people surnamed Ma, he Ma Anliang is a traitor. So, he couldn't stay here for a day.

Wherever the power swap takes place, there will always be supporters and opponents. Although the Northeast has gained a lot of popular support in the Ganning region, there are still a large number of people who are reluctant. In addition, the local Hui and Han people live together. It is easy to cause major unrest. And now that Ma Jiajun has existed in name only, only Ma Fuxiang's Anning Army is left in Yinchuan to survive. The well-informed local Haoqiang learned about Ma Fuxiang through his own news channels, and also had the idea of surrendering. This makes it almost a foregone conclusion that the Northeast will take over the Ganning region. In this way, it is already clear how to choose the local wealthy family.

On the day Li Jun entered Lanzhou City, he issued a statement: "The Northeast Public Security Army accepted the appointment of the Republic of China government to take over the Ganning area, and with the assistance of General Ma Anliang, the former commander of the Western Army, peacefully took over the Ganning area. Northeast China will set up a new government in the Ganning region and implement the new policy to contribute to the construction of a peaceful and strong Ganning region. Moreover, the Northeast government employs people regardless of race or ethnic group, and all the people under its jurisdiction are equal. Anyone who is interested in contributing to the new government can join the new government. If they dare to resist the rule of the new government, the security forces will not be merciful. ”

Feng Yong originally planned to set up the Northwest Governor's Office in the Ganning region to lead the government affairs of the western region, but he thought that the highest administrative body in the northeast was now the Governor's Office, and the level of the newly established Northwest Governor's Office could not be determined, so according to the division of later generations, the Ganning region was roughly divided into three provinces. Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai. In each of the three provinces, acting governors were established to temporarily perform administrative duties. As for the local army, it does not interfere in specific government affairs. This is also the military-political dichotomy that Feng Yong has always adhered to. Soldiers do not interfere in politics.

Of course, in Feng Yong's heart, he still wanted to establish a ruling body with the National Independence Party as the core of leadership according to the model of the republic of later generations. However, the Independence Party has been formed for too long now, because of the strict assessment and the limited number of personnel, and it is not able to undertake such a task. But Feng Yong believes that one day, the National Independence Party will infiltrate all aspects of the ruling apparatus in Northeast China, and this party that he has established and maintained his rule will also become the cornerstone of his own progress.

Of course, Li Jun welcomed Ma Fuxiang's surrender, but Ma Fuxiang's request for the Anning Army to become an independent army made Li Jun frown a little. And he also has no right to agree. After all, an independent army will become an independent system. Although he is in charge of the army, he seems to have unlimited scenery. But the control of the actual army is firmly in Feng Yong's hands, and such a big thing as building a new army is not something he can agree to. But Li Jun didn't want to give up such a good opportunity to peacefully take over the Ganning region, so he reported the news to Feng Yong as soon as possible.
