Chapter 215: The Ma Family United Army
The sudden action of the Northeast Public Security Army trembled greatly on the forces of all parties in the Ganning area. It can even be said to be an extremely heavy pressure. The Ning Navy, which was in full swing in the Ganning area, was driven out of the garrison by the Northeast Security Army in the first battle. Now that the Ma brothers have been defeated and lost, I don't know how many troops they still have in their hands. The Ma Jiajun in the Ganning area was panicked. Although all the leaders surnamed Ma knew that it was the Ning Navy of the Ma Qi brothers who ambushed the Northeast Pioneer Regiment, it was like a tietong because the Ganning area was run by the Ma clan. Outsiders only know that there is Ma Jiajun in the Ganning area, but they don't know that Ma Jiajun is just a general term. Now these small forces are panicking. for fear that he would become the scapegoat of Ning Haijun.
When they knew that the Ning Navy had suffered an attack from the Northeast, while they were happy, a feeling of sadness rose in their hearts. If the big forces of the Ma family army like Ning Haijun are destroyed, it is even more impossible for these small forces to continue to exist.
So under the tandem of Zhang Guangjian, the overseer of Gansu, the forces of Zhuma were quickly concentrated. Among them, of course, were the two largest forces of Zhuma, the Western Army and the Anning Army. The current life and death of the Ning Navy are unknown. With its huge strength, the Western Army once again became the number one overlord in the Ganning region. Ma Anliang finally regained his original feeling. Unfortunately, this feeling came at a very bad time. The Northeast army is pressing, and it is unknown whether the Ma Jiajun can resist even if they are united. I don't know if the back hands he arranged are useful.
From the bottom of his heart, Ma Anliang doesn't want to fight with the Northeast. After all, the Western Army system has existed for so long, and the entire Western Army system has a kind of inertia. One could even say that we are content with the status quo. Moreover, although the Western army was numerous, the soldiers were somewhat untrained. Otherwise, the name of the overlord of the Ganning region would not have been snatched away by the Ning Navy, which was inferior in numbers.
The theme of this Zhuma Alliance is very clear, that is, to integrate the strength of the Ma Jiajun in the entire Ganning region to resist the invasion of the Northeast Security Army. The initiator of the alliance was Zhang Guangjian, the governor of Gansu. Ning Haijun was disabled, and he was the happiest. Although he has been operating in the Ganning area for many years, he has never destroyed the Zhuma forces, but has allowed the Zhuma forces to develop in the form of scattering. Instead, his own new army was trapped near the Gansu provincial capital. This made Zhang Guangjian, who had big ambitions, unbearable. Therefore, he carefully planned the conflict between the Ning Navy and the Northeast, hoping to break the rule of the Ma Jiajun over the Ganning region with the help of external forces. From the current point of view, things have developed according to his expectations, and Ning Haijun has been crippled by the furious Northeast. As for the invasion of the Northeast, although Zhang Guangjian was apprehensive, he believed that if the forces of the entire Ganning region were concentrated, the Northeast could be stopped. After all, the Northeast has no roots in the Ganning region. Even if you can get away with it for a while, you have to retreat in the end. Zhang Guangjian didn't believe that the Northeast would dare to swallow the entire Ganning region without righteousness. After all, the population and geographical location of the Ganning region are not comparable to the Mongolian steppes.
Now the Ning Navy has been crippled by the Northeast Security Army. Even if the Ma Qi brothers are lucky and not destroyed, their strength is not as good as before. Now he united Zhuma in the name of the Gansu Overseer to form an alliance. Integrate the power of all Mars in the Ganning region. And then let them fight to the death with the Northeast. The best outcome is that they can drive the northeast out of the Ganning region, and their own strength will definitely be lost, and their ability to control the Ganning region will be reduced. In this way, he can take advantage of the carelessness. Even if Ma Jiajun failed, the Northeast occupied the Ganning region, and he was in an orthodox position recognized by the Republic of China government, such as the Gansu Overseer, and was restrained by the central government, the Northeast would eventually withdraw obediently. The Beiyang Army system will not allow the Northeast to continue to grow. Once the Northeast withdrew from the Ganning region. He can really become the real emperor of the soil in the Ganning region.
Therefore, although he is the initiator of the Zhuma Alliance, he is not surnamed Ma, and the reason why he is qualified to initiate this alliance is because of his status as the overseer of Gansu. Now that the meeting has been held, Zhang Guangjian has become low-key. He looked coldly at the performance of the Ma clan in the conference room, and secretly sneered in his heart. The strength of the Northeast is not something that the Little Pony Army can resist. If the power of Ma Jiajun is not fully integrated, it is really a fool's dream to want victory. When the Northeast has wiped out you, the Overseer will take advantage of the situation and take their place. When the time comes, the Governor will take back all the shame you have brought upon the Overseer all these years.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Northeast Army is pressing, and the elite Ning Navy in my Ma Family's army has been defeated by the Northeast. We have reason to believe that the Northeast will not let go of such a good opportunity to occupy the Ganning region. It is foreseeable that the Northeast will use troops on a large scale in the Ganning region. And although our Ma Jiajun is strong, its strength is only scattered. It is impossible for any single force to resist an offensive in the northeast. But it has been decades since our Ma family rose from our father's generation. This huge family business must not be handed over. Therefore, I propose that the forces of our Ma Jiajun be integrated and fight to the death with the Northeast. A general surnamed Ma stood up and said.
"That's right! Only by uniting our Ma Jiajun can we protect the stability of the Ganning region. I recommend General Ma Anliang as the commander of our combined forces. Another general surnamed Ma stood up and said.
"That's a mistake! We are going to face the Northeast Security Army, which has rich combat experience, and we need a general with rich combat experience to lead it. I elected General Ma Fuxiang as the commander of the Ma Family United Army. ”
"That's right! I support General Ma Fuxiang.
“……”
"I support General Ma Anliang!"
“……”
More than a dozen generals of the Ma family argued over who would be the commander of the Ma family's combined army. Sitting on the edge, as if the forgotten governor of Gansu Zhang Guangjian, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes. The enemy oppresses the realm most taboo internal discord, a single Ma family army is a dragon, but all the Ma family army is a group of insects. How can such a rabble be an opponent in the Northeast.
Others didn't pay attention to his look, but Ma Anliang, who was sitting quietly, saw it. There was a gleam in his eyes. This Zhang Guangjian is not a good bird, in the past few years in the Ganning area, small actions have continued, and the Western Army system of the Ma Family Army, which was originally a large family, was almost collapsed by him. Ma Anliang's strength has almost shrunk by half in recent years. And now that there are so many generals surnamed Ma in the Ganning area, they are all this guy's means to restrain himself. Although it is not known why the Ning Navy ambushed the Pioneer Regiment in the Northeast. But Ma Anliang is keenly aware that this matter is not simple. I'm afraid that someone wants to calculate Ma Jiajun. And the biggest beneficiary of Ma Jiajun's accident is Zhang Guangjian, so Ma Anliang has reason to believe that Zhang Guangjian is behind this incident.
Ma Anliang has suffered Zhang Guangjian's losses many times, and he has already learned from experience. Looking at Zhang Guangjian's appearance of the old god there, Ma An's conscience carefully thought about the gains and losses of the whole thing. Looking at Ma Fuxiang with a calm face, Ma Anliang had an idea in his heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this attack from the northeast is about the survival of the entire Ganning region. As the overseer of Gansu, Zhang Inspector was the highest local governor appointed by the Republic of China government. I suggest that this time the Ma Family Combined Army be led by Zhang Dujun, plus me and the Fuxiang brothers to command. Do you have any comments? Ma Anliang said with a smile. Ma Fuxiang glanced at him, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and then a knowing smile appeared on his face.
Zhang Guangjian paused. I didn't expect Ma Anliang to put forward such an opinion. Although he scolded Ma Anliang in his heart for being uneasy and kind, others stood up and shirked: "Thank you for the general's kindness." After all, this Overseer is not surnamed Ma, and it is difficult to command you. The reason why the old man took the lead in holding this gathering was purely for the stability of the Ganning region. Thank you for your lifting, old man, here. But the old man who is the commander of the Ma Family Combined Army is not suitable. Please choose another meritorious. ”
"The Overseer is gracious. The power of the Overseers is well known. I personally agree with Brother An Liang and elect the Overseer as the commander of the Ma Family Alliance. Regardless of the attitude of the others, I, Ma Fuxiang, will definitely obey the Overseer's arrangement. Ma Fuxiang also stood up. And loudly assured.
Zhang Guangjian secretly smiled bitterly, this is lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot. He regarded Ma Jiajun as a fool, but Ma Jiajun would not let him be a profitable fisherman. Ma Anliang and Ma Fuxiang, the giants of the Ma family's army, both asked Zhang Guangjian to serve as the commander of the Ma family's united army, and although the leaders of the other Ma family forces were a little reluctant in their hearts, they did not dare to refute the two, so they had to echo them. For a time, everyone asked Zhang Guangjian to serve as the commander of the Ma family's combined army. Zhang Guangjian's resignation doesn't make much sense.
Of course, Zhang Guangjian would not think that he would be able to command the Ma Family Army if he became the commander of the Ma Family United Army. For Ma Anliang and Ma Fuxiang to pull themselves in, they definitely wanted to tie him to the chariot of the Ma family against the Northeast. Ma Jiajun does not lack strength, but lacks the name of righteousness, and he Zhang Guangjian is the official appointment of the Republic of China as the overseer of Gansu, and he just has this title. Zhang Guangjian looked at Ma Anliang, whose face showed a smug look, and a look of annoyance appeared in his eyes. I didn't expect this old horseman who was toyed with by himself to applaud that he would also have a smart day.
Although the commander of the Ma Family Combined Army is a false name, with Zhang Guangjian's means of supervising the army, it may not be impossible for him to find an opportunity to expand his strength. The biggest difference between the New Army and the Majia Army is that the soldiers of the New Army are all Han Chinese, and there are very few Hui people, while in the Ganning area, although the Hui population does not occupy the mainstream, the Hui people are more united than the Han people. Otherwise, there would not have been many Muslim rebellions, and it would have nourished feudal military freaks like Ma Jiajun.
"Good! Since you all lift love! If the old man is shirking, he will be a little ignorant. From today onwards, the old man will be the commander of the Ma family's united army, and everyone will be robes in the future. I hope that everyone will work together to defeat the Northeast Public Security Army and maintain stability and harmony in the Ganning region. Zhang Guangjian did not have the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, but had a happy expression, which made Ma Anliang doubt Zhang Guangjian's purpose again.
