Ma Bufang, a major warlord in the northwest region during the Republic of China, was called the "Northwest Four Horses" together with Ma Buqing, Ma Hongbin, and Ma Hongkui. Ma Bufang's family was a warlord family that ruled the Qinghai area for more than 40 years. Ma Bufang was the emperor of the earth. The same existence is called the "King of Qinghai".
These Ma’s army, although there are battles on weekdays, once they find foreign forces, they will unanimously go abroad, and the Ma’s army is indeed sturdy, so neither Yan Xishan nor Chiang Kai-shek’s forces can enter the northwest. In 1936, the Red Army formed the West The Lu Army carried out a Western Expedition, but under the encirclement and suppression of Ma Jiajun, almost the entire army was wiped out. Ma Bufang himself was cunning and vicious. Therefore, during the War of Liberation, Ma Jiajun became the only unit of our army that was not allowed to surrender and revolt. After the Battle of Lanzhou, most of Ma Bufang's main army was wiped out. At that time, he flew back to Xining and used nine planes to transport all his belongings and family members to Guangzhou, and soon fled to Taiwan together. Although Ma Bufang assigned the responsibility for the defeat in the Northwest to Ma Hongkui, he did not expect that Chiang Kai-shek would let him return to the Northwest. He didn’t want to face the People’s Liberation Army and knew that there was no future in Taiwan, so he bribed Chiang’s cronies. After he went to the northwest to reply, he chartered a plane and took his family of 200 people to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
Ma Bufang is vicious and cunning, and has a very bad reputation. It is said that he has a famous saying: Except for me and me, there is nothing to be raped, so Ma Bufang is very shameless and shameless, and has ravaged many innocent women. . But maybe it was Ma Bufang who committed too much evil, and the genius punished him. He had seven wives and only gave birth to one son, Ma Jiyuan.
To this sole heir, Ma Bufang spared no effort in training his son Ma Jiyuan. Ma Jiyuan became the chief of staff at the age of 14 and became major general at the age of 17. In 1944, with the approval of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, Ma Jiyuan took over the command. In the 82nd Army, Ma Jiyuan was only 23 years old this year. After the beginning of the War of Liberation, Ma Jiyuan was appointed commander-in-chief of the Qinghai Corps and the Northwest Military and Political Commissioner. Ma Jiyuan was also desperate against Chiang Kai-shek and repeatedly launched attacks on the PLA.
Although Ma Jiyuan is in a high position, he has not been on the front line, so many people do not believe in Ma Jiyuan’s commanding ability. Later, he stabilized the situation in Longdong area and resolved many PLA offensives before he gained a little reputation. His victory did not have any major impact on the war situation in the entire Northwest.
Two years later, the main force of the People's Liberation Army reached the northwest, and the main force of the Kuomintang in the entire northwest, except for the Xinjiang garrison, was left with Majiajun. Ma Jiyuan was the main combatant. In May 1949, Ma Jiyuan took control of the military and political power in the Northwest and reached the pinnacle of his life. But the good times did not last long. Facing the offensive of the People's Liberation Army, Ma Jiyuan could not support it for long. After the Battle of Lanzhou, Ma Jiyuan saw Unable to restore the situation, he flew to Guangzhou according to his father's arrangement, and soon followed his father to Egypt.
But in 1950, Ma Jiyuan went to Taiwan again, was sent to the Joint University of the Three Services by the Ministry of National Defense, and entered the National Defense Research Institute. However, after graduation, Ma Jiyuan can only bear the false name of the Deputy General Counselor of the Ministry of National Defense. He has no real power. In the end, he can only retire. He lived in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. During the Wenchuan earthquake, it is said that he also donated money. February 2012 On the 27th, Ma Jiyuan died of illness in Jeddah.
