"Quick, go back to Ningxia, don't let the Feng army rob our home!"

Ma Fuxiang shouted loudly while beating the war horse desperately, not knowing that he was distressed at all, compared to the old nest, a horse is really nothing.

Since getting the news that Ningxia was attacked, Ma Fuxiang felt bad, he took more than 10,000 cavalry to rush back frantically, they have been running for two days in a row, many people are left behind, but Ma Fuxiang is not in the mood to care about them.

The war horse was running wildly at the fastest speed, and suddenly a frozen river appeared in front of him blocking the way, and Ma Fuxiang slammed the stirrup, trying to make the war horse jump over. But how did he know that this war horse had already reached its limit, and the continuous galloping had caused irreversible damage to the war horse. As soon as the front legs jumped up, the hind legs suddenly slipped on the ice and fell to the ground, and the war horse bled to death on the spot.

Ma Fuxiang also rolled down to the solid ice and fell hard, almost giving him his breath. His subordinates hurriedly helped him up, and Ma Fuxiang roared loudly: "Quick, find me another horse, don't delay time." ”

When he was loud, there was a sound of horses' hooves not far away, and it was Ma Hongbin who ran in the forefront, he took the remnants of the defeated army, and after escaping from Ningxia, he went all the way south, wanting to meet Ma Fuxiang.

The two sides are getting closer and closer, and as soon as Ma Fuxiang saw Ma Hongbin running over like a lost dog, his heart was already cold, and the weather was even colder than this cold winter.

"It's over, it's all over, the Feng army has occupied Ningxia Province!" Ma Hongbin cried and reported the situation to Ma Fuxiang.

Ma Fuxiang, who was confirmed, was completely stunned, and all the struggles became useless and fell short. His body shook and fell to the ice. He only felt distressed, pain from the inside out. It's as if my heart has been torn down.

The nest is lost, what hope does he have, the power of Xuanhe is now all gone, he is no longer the overlord of the northwest, just a lost dog. The other soldiers of the Ma family army were also stunned, and the end came like this, and at this time, Ma Qi, Ma Lin, Ma Hongkui, Ma Bufang and others also rushed over.

When Ma Hongkui heard this, he was so angry that he was about to explode, and he grabbed Ma Hongbin's chest. The fingers were so big that they almost crushed his chest.

"Why are you so rice bucket, you can even lose your nest, do you still have a face to live?"

Ma Hongbin's face turned red and he lost Ningxia. He is also speechless, and everyone has become a lost dog. He is also a great sin. Ma Hongbin jerked out his pistol. Aimed at his own head.

"How can I have the face to live, let me die!"

He was about to shoot when suddenly Ma Lin flew up and kicked him in the wrist, kicking the pistol away.

"The sky is falling, and there are tall men on top of it. You don't have to look for death and life, think about what to do next, do we all admit defeat. Do you want to be caught? ”

Ma Qi also hurriedly said: "That's right, this is a matter of life and death, you must not take another wrong step, everyone think about it, what to do!" ”

"What else can we do, we can't afford to hide." Han Qigong said on the side: "I don't believe that in the great northwest, there is no place for us to settle down. ”

"That's right, that's right." Ma Fuxiang, who had been in a stupor, suddenly stood up, his eyes showed a fierce light, like a wounded beast, cruel and violent.

"We can't admit defeat, Ningxia is lost, we can still retreat into the Hexi Corridor, or even retreat to Xinjiang, in short, we have to fight with the Feng army, as long as this is the case, there is a glimmer of life."

Ma Fuxiang said while looking at Ma Qi and Ma Lin, and then said: "Everyone, now is the moment of life and death, please unite as one and twist into a rope, otherwise there is really only one way to die!" ”

Everyone nodded, they also knew that Ningxia could not go back, so at this time they could only continue to flee westward, flee to the Hexi Corridor, and temporarily avoid the front of the army.

After they discussed it, they immediately stepped on the war horse, changed direction, and fled westward, at this time the soldiers who were still following Ma Fuxiang were greatly reduced, only five or six thousand people remained, and almost half of the soldiers all fled, knowing that it was a sunken ship, and still left on it, wouldn't it be a fool.

……

Another early morning came, and the gunfire in Ningxia Province finally stopped, and every neighborhood fell into the hands of the Feng army, and the routed soldiers and the people who supported the Ma Jiajun were all arrested and stuffed into prisoner-of-war camps, and the whole city was enforced with strict officers.

Except for the occasional sporadic gunshot, all the others returned to calm, and this important town in the northwest finally fell into the hands of the Feng army, and after some counting, a total of 1,700 regular troops of the Ma Jiajun were eliminated, and more than 2,000 militias were killed, plus those fanatical people, the total number exceeded 6,000, and more than 4,000 people were captured, and the main force of the Ma Jiajun in Ningxia was completely eliminated.

In addition to these people eliminated, the Feng army also captured a lot of them, and more than 2 million oceans were found from the houses of Ma Fuxiang and others, and all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry were also quite amazing. As a gang of thieves, Ma Jiajun's property was left in his hands, not in the bank, and all fell into the hands of Feng Jun.

Of course, Ma Jiajun still had a large amount of opium, and as many as 7,000 boxes were found, which had been regarded by them as hard currency, and when the military salary was insufficient, it was sent down as military salary. These things add up to more than 10 million yuan, which is a good income, and after Rong Zhen cleaned up, he sent a good news to Zhang Tinglan, asking for instructions on the next step.

"Lingge, Brother Baili, what do you think should be the next step?"

Jiang Baili said with a smile: "Marshal, the battle of Ningxia Rongzhen was very good, but the difference in strength between us and the Ma Jiajun is there, and it is not surprising to win." The difficult thing is how to control the northwest in the next step, weaken the local tyrants, and completely control the northwest in their hands. ”

"Senior Baili is right, to win the Ma Jiajun, maybe 5,000 men and horses are enough, and the extermination of the Ma Jiajun is only 20,000 horses, but to control the northwest, you need 100,000 soldiers, and you must also take out a lot of investment to develop various undertakings, so that the northwest can truly integrate into the Fengjun system, so as to ensure that there is no problem."

Defeating the occupation is completely two concepts, and Zhang Tinglan also knows this very well, the people in the northwest are poor, arrogant and powerful, and there are ethnic and religious problems, the tendency of division is very serious, and it is indeed not easy to completely control this place. On the one hand, a large number of troops are required, and on the other hand, continuous investment is required.

For the Feng army, these two points are beyond the strength of the Feng army at this stage, supporting tens of thousands of troops, and the materials that need to be consumed to camp thousands of kilometers away are an astronomical amount. Especially at the critical moment of industrial development, forcibly doing these things will only slow down the speed of Fengjun's industrial progress.

On this kind of issue, the upper echelons of Fengjun were still very sober-minded and did not get carried away by the victory. Jiang Baili thought for a while and said: "Marshal, in my opinion, there are two things in the next step, the first is to completely sweep away the Ma Jiajun, and the second is to build the railway connecting the northwest as soon as possible. ”

Yang Yuting also nodded: "Sooner or later, the northwest will have to swallow it, but it is best to divide it into steps, eat it little by little, and swallow it rashly, it is easy to exceed our ability to bear it." ”

Zhang Tinglan also smiled and nodded: "The two of you have the same opinion as me, the people in the northwest are weak and weak, for this stage, we need the resources and products of the northwest, but we can't carry this burden, so continue to let Feng Yuxiang be in charge of the northwest." ”

"But!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "For this anti-bone boy, we must strengthen control to prevent him from biting us." ”

"Don't worry, Dashuai, I have already found a few of Feng Yuxiang's subordinates, they all have a good impression of Fengjun, as long as we spend a little price, we can buy them over, and we can abandon Feng Yuxiang at any time."

After Zhang Tinglan and them discussed properly, the overall strategic planning still did not change much, but the outside world still praised the victory of the Feng army, believing that it had dealt another heavy blow to the local division Shili, and the disaster of the Ma Jiajun could be solved, so that the northwest of China could be peaceful, and the Feng army once again made great contributions to the country.

The Beiyang government officially appointed Feng Yuxiang as the Northwest Frontier Governor and Rong Zhen as the Ningxia Town Guard, and they continued to work together to recover the remnants of Ma's army.

The combat effectiveness of the Ma Jiajun, who had lost their nest, had plummeted and turned into a bunch of wild ducks, and there was no need for the Feng army to spend too much energy chasing them, as long as they handed everything over to Feng Yuxiang.

Feng Yuxiang had already led his men and horses to the central guard at this time, and joined Han Fuyu, because of his mistake, he almost buried Han Fuyu's troops, and Lao Feng was also a little guilty, so he took the initiative to invite Han Fuyu over.

"Xiang Fang, what do you think we should do next?"

"Marshal, I think we should chase down the remnants of the Ma Jiajun and kill all these bastards."

Shi Yousan also said: "Didn't the marshal Fengjun promise us, you can exchange labor for weapons, this is a great thing, three-legged toads can't be found, two-legged living people can be everywhere." Let's pursue Ma Jiajun all the way, the prisoners we caught, and the people we meet who don't like the eyes, can all be exchanged for arms, is there anything more haode than this? ”

As soon as they said this, Feng Yuxiang was also moved, although it was not very comfortable to work hard for others, but it was better than anything else to get real profits, and Feng Yuxiang also agreed to the proposal.

He immediately led the army, and chased after the route of the rout of the Ma Jiajun, and all the stragglers he encountered along the way were arrested, and anyone who carried weapons was also arrested, and they were like a big broom, carrying Ma Jiajun's ass, and swept over, and everywhere they passed, all the Shili of Ma Jiajun's Shili were swept away.
