In May 1949, the war situation in North and East China was very good, and the Northwest region was about to be liberated. On the one hand, Li Zongren is preparing to rush to the south. On the other hand, he still insisted on confronting Ma Hongkui and discussing the plan to reorganize the Northwest Military and Political Command.
It turned out that Zhang Zhizhong, the former military and political chief of the Northwest, once led a delegation to Peking to participate in peace talks. When he left, there was a vacancy in his post. Therefore, Guo Jiqiao, chairman of the Gansu Provincial Government, temporarily serves as the vice governor. Although the People's Liberation Army has been stubbornly strong along the way, there are still a few people who resist it. They still dream of taking over the military and political positions in the Northwest and being the "kings of the Northwest" for several years. Among these people
, the most powerful are Ma Hongkui from Ningxia and Ma Bufang from Qinghai.
Ma Bufang followed the "golden diplomacy" route, often giving KMT members Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Yan Xishan and others something. Bai Chongxi thought Ma Bufang was a "wild horse" many times. Although it is difficult to control, it is very "on the road, but Ma Hongkui is a "slide horse". He often uses "protecting the people" as a reason to preserve his strength, and he is unreliable at critical moments.
Of course, Ma Bufang's overall strength is still higher than Ma Hongkui. Yes, this is also the main reason why he finally won the post of commander of the Northwest Army. On May 18, 1949, Ma Bufang was appointed as the acting military and political chief of the Northwest Region of China. At the same time, he realized his dream of becoming the "Northwest King." In July of the year, Zhang Zhizhong stayed in Peking, and Ma Bufang officially became the chief of military and political affairs in the Northwest.
Ma Bufang made significant adjustments to the senior staff of the former Northwest Chief Executive’s Office. All the "fat" in administration, finance, construction, etc., belonged to Ma Bufang’s people. In the post, only Liu Ren, the deputy chief of the Gui family, and others were left. In addition, in order to fight against Ma Hongkui, he specially left Ma Hongkui’s political opponents, so as to force Ma Hongkui to completely give up control in the northwestern region. In order to create momentum for himself, he Encourage people from all over to Lanzhou to give gifts to themselves.
But Ma Bufang’s dream of "the king of the northwest" was quickly shattered. In mid-August, the First Field Army of the People's Liberation Army launched the Lanzhou Campaign under the command of General Peng Dehuai. The PLA launched a general offensive against Lanzhou. The day before, Ma Bufang slipped back to his home in Xining, and left his son Ma Jiyuan to continue fighting with the Tunisian troops. Ma Bufang spent a lot of money to hire 9 planes from Nolte’s "Flying Tigers" to send the wealth he had collected over the years to foreign countries. It was Hong Kong and then the Middle East. Lanzhou was liberated on August 27. On August 27, the Kuomintang Defense Minister Xu Yongchang was appointed by Yan Xishan to fly to Xining.
On the one hand, he wanted to severely reprimand Ma Bufang for the absurd things he did, on the other hand. On the other hand, he instructed Ma Bufang to use Xining as a base to continue to resist. Ma Bufang was not convinced, and the two had a big quarrel. Finally, Ma Bufang secretly left Xining with a group of aunts and wives on a purchased civil aircraft under the pretext of seeking help from the KMT Central Committee. He left Qinghai, where he had cruelly ruled for 40 years. Just a few days after arriving in Chongqing, Ma Bufang learned that his hometown of Xining had been occupied by the People's Liberation Army. He was anxious and angry, and finally came to heart with grief and burst into tears.
Xu Yongchang, who fled to Chongqing, accused Ma Bufang and detained part of his property. Ma Bufang saw that his family was almost gone, and quickly flew to Guangzhou. On the way to Guangzhou, he suddenly remembered that his unlucky son was still in the northwest. , I immediately sent a telegram to my son, agreeing to meet in Guangzhou. After refurbishing in Guangzhou for a while, most of the people belonging to the Ma family arrived. After discussion, everyone felt that the mainland was no longer a place to stay for a long time, so they collectively moved to Hong Kong.
reached 10. In May, Chiang Kai-shek personally ordered Ma Bufang to go to Taiwan. Ma Bufang was extremely unwilling in his heart, but he had to go. Therefore, he blamed Ma Hongkui for his defeat in the Northwest battlefield, and then immediately returned to Hong Kong.
It can be said that Ma Bufang was shameless It is very rare in the upper echelons of the Kuomintang. When he was on the mainland, he publicly stated: "Everyone who is born with me, and who is born with me is a crime. "The wives and daughters of his subordinates, his family’s sisters, nieces, brothers and sisters, and sister-in-law, all can’t escape his clutches. In Egypt, Ma Bufang has not changed, the waitress in the hotel, the dancers in the ballroom, and even His family members who went to Cairo together to make a living were defiled by him. Even his granddaughter was defiled by him and gave birth to a son. In order to keep people from knowing this, Ma Bufang killed the baby by himself.
In the spring of 1961, Ma Bufang was Taiwanese The "diplomatic career" of the authorities created a big scandal. The cause was: Wu Yitai Ma Yuelan's anti-Geism. Ma Yuelan is Ma Bufang's cousin Ma BulongWhen Ma Bufang went to Cairo, her daughter, Ma Bufang, accompanied her family. Ma Bufang saw her niece's beauty and wanted to accept her as a concubine. He threatened Ma Bulong and his wife and said, "If you don't give her to me, I want your whole family to survive!" In this way, Ma Yuelan became the plaything of her uncle Ma Bufang. Moreover, after Ma Bufang came to Saudi Arabia as the "ambassador", Ma Bufang took aim at Ma Yuelan's mother and her two younger sisters.
According to the accusations and compulsory prosecutions by the Huis in the Middle East against the Taiwan KMT authorities, including: Han, Hui, Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan, Kazakh and other ethnic minority women, the number of people defiled by Ma Bufang is no less than 5,000. There are many Chinese in Saudi Arabia, many of whom are Muslims. In order to continue to be his "Emperor of the Land", Ma Bufang spent a lot of money to bribe the high level of Taiwan. In the end, he finally came to become Taiwan's Ambassador to Saudi Arabia. However, Ma Bufang was just a rough and rough man, who didn't know a few words, let alone Arabic.
Therefore, when he was in Saudi Arabia, he was most afraid of attending some banquets, and he hardly went to the embassy. The handling of documents is to write a word "read" hastily, and then hand over to the secretary for processing. By the end of the 1950s, Taiwan once wanted to invite the Saudi King to Taiwan to increase Taiwan’s influence in the Arab region. However, Ma Bufang did not want to accompany him back to Taiwan. As time passed, the matter disappeared. On the last day of July 1975, the brutal and brutal Ma Bufang died in Saudi Arabia. For the rest of his life, he never returned to his hometown. It is rumored that in 1975, an elderly Muslim from Qinghai who made a pilgrimage to Mecca visited Ma Bufang unannounced. The dying Ma Bufang was speechless, and the two talked in a way unique to the West in their sleeves. Speaking of the feelings owed to his hometown, the old man showed a sheep's head, a horse's head and a cow's head. Ma Bufang shook his head repeatedly. When asked again, Ma Bufang was always in tears. He tremblingly pointed to the sky, the ground, and his own heart. How can the emotion of thinking with life be measured by money? Ma Bufang passed away in infinite homesickness, and his bones were left in Saudi Arabia thousands of miles away.
