In mid-August 1948, Nishino launched the Lanzhou Battle . Before the war, there was a fierce dispute with his son Ma Bufang on the issue of defending or not to defend Lanzhou. Ma Bufang believed that although Lanzhou had strong fortifications, if he fought against the city, his cavalry would have no place to use his power and could only be used as infantry. Without the impact and maneuverability of the cavalry, his tens of thousands of people could not resist the attacks of the three Nishino regiments. Therefore, he advocated withdrawing the main force to Xining and using the vast and open terrain to fight guerrillas with the People's Liberation Army.
But Ma Jiyuan was young and vigorous, and he took advantage of the battle of Longdong in Xifu. Therefore, he was determined to fight to the death in Lanzhou and Xiye, and said wildly that he would "turn the tide and set the world in the northwest." Ma Bufang had no choice but to take Ma Jisui, so he left Lanzhou and returned to Xining in anger. On August 21, 1949, the Lanzhou Battle officially started. After five days of fierce fighting, Xiye successfully liberated Lanzhou, annihilated more than 27,000 enemies and more than 8,700 casualties. In the battle in Lanzhou, the main force of Qingma lost all.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Ma Bufang booked three planes and fled to Guangzhou with the gold, silver and soft and his family whom he had been plundering for many years. Not long after, he felt that Guangzhou was not safe, so he ran to Taiwan again. When Chiang Kai-shek saw that Ma Bufang did not report to him, he gave up on Northwest and was very angry and prepared to punish him severely to serve as a warning to others. Ma Bufang, who received the news, was scared and used 2,000 taels of gold to bribe the confidants around Jiang to exonerate himself. Then he ran to Saudi on the grounds of going to Mecca.
After coming to Saudi Arabia, Ma Bufang was very unaccustomed to the life and customs here. In 1951, he brought his family, relatives and a large number of helpers to Cairo in Egypt . Because he had plundered many people's money in Qinghai, Ma Bufang bought a building directly after coming to Cairo, and rented it out to others for rent, and the other part was renovated to live there. Ma Bufang stayed in Cairo for nearly 6 years. In 1956, Egypt and China established diplomatic relations, and Ma Bufang was panicked.
Red Army During the period, Ma Bufang owed many blood debts to the soldiers of the West Route Army . Now that Egypt has established diplomatic relations with China, he may be arrested by Egypt at any time and sent back to China. If he returns to China, he knows what kind of ending he will face. In order to escape this result, he hurriedly sold the property he bought in Cairo, ran back to Egypt, and bought a building in Jeddah. Afterwards, Ma Bufang used money to pave the way and asked for a so-called "Taiwan diplomatic representative to Saudi Arabia" from Chiang Kai-shek.
At that time, Jeddah was the second largest city in Saudi Arabia, with more than 1,000 expatriates living there. After Ma Bufang received the appointment documents of Lao Jiang, he immediately asked his subordinates to confiscate the passports of these expatriates and force them to do things for themselves. In addition to oppressing the expatriates, Ma Bufang also did something very despicable: he occupied his niece. At that time, Ma Bufang had already had six concubines around him, but he was still not satisfied and turned his attention to his 18-year-old niece Ma Yuelan.
Ma Yuelan's father is Ma Bulong, who is the chief of the Ordnance Department under Ma Bufang. He and Ma Bufang have a very close relationship. They are the same grandfather. When Ma Bufang fled Xining, Ma Bulong followed with his wife and four daughters. At the beginning, Ma Bulong's four daughters were still very young, and Ma Bufang didn't pay much attention. When he came to Jeddah this time, Ma Bulong's eldest daughter Ma Yuelan was already 18 years old and was well-off. Ma Bufang was so arrogant that he forcibly occupied his niece. Although Ma Bulong was very angry, his family's lives were all in Ma Bufang's hands, so he dared not speak out.
Shortly after, Ma Bufang targeted Ma Yuelanna as the 7th concubine, and then shamelessly asked Ma Yuelan to match her up, and threatened that if she did not agree, she would kill her family. Ma Yuelan left Ma Bufang's residence on the grounds of going home and discussing with her parents and ran to Song Xuanquan's home. Song Xuanquan is a professional diplomat. Chiang Kai-shek specially sent him to Saudi Arabia to help Ma Bufang handle specific business. After hearing about Ma Yuelan's experience, Song Xuanquan sympathized with her and was preparing to find a way to help her leave Ma Bufang with her family.
Ma Bufang soon learned about Ma Yuelan's home at Song Xuanquan and came with a group of subordinates to ask for people in a fierce manner. At this time, Ma Yuelan also took the initiative. She loudly exposed Ma Bufang's ugly behavior in Arabic and called him a beast in clothes. Soon people came to watch the fun, and more and more gathered, reaching more than 800 people. After hearing Ma Yuelan's accusation, people thought that Ma Bufang even had to take over his niece. They were really worse than beasts, and they pointed at him. Seeing that his ugly behavior was exposed, Ma Bufang had to leave in shame.
Not long after, with the help of Song Xuanquan, Ma Yuelan and his family finally took their passport back from Ma Bufang and left Saudi Arabia to Taiwan. After arriving in Taiwan, Ma Yuelan exposed all Ma Bufang's ugly behavior. After media reports, it aroused public outrage among people, and many people asked Chiang Kai-shek to severely punish Ma Bufang. But Ma Bufang once again used gold to open the way, and the matter ended up in the end. In 1975, Ma Bufang died of illness at the age of 72.
