Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The senior staff officers brought by Cai Yun completed a detailed plan within two days based on the information provided by Ma Qi, Ma Yuntao, Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming.  General Ma Qi went to Nangqian with Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming, and then secretly detained Zhang Mingyuan, commander of the 23rd Battalion of the Qingma Army, preferably to force him to defect to western Sichuan.  Subsequently, they concentrated their forces to cooperate with the 10th Brigade to capture Yushu, and eliminated the five battalions of the Qing Ma Army deployed in Yushu, and eliminated nearly a quarter of the Qing Ma Army's troops in one fell swoop.  If the Qingma Army doesn't respond in time, they can even take advantage of the situation and march into Maqin.  If you win, victory will be completely established.  Of course, this is the specific combat plan. As for how far it can be carried out, it depends on the development of the situation.

    Originally, Wang Yuze asked to enter Nangqian with Ma Qi and others, but Cai Yun sternly refused.  If Ma Qi and the others pretend to defect to western Sichuan, then Wang Yuze will be in danger.  In this case, not only will Western Sichuan's plan completely fail, but it will also have a series of serious consequences.  Therefore, Cai Yun could not let Wang Yuze take this risk.

    Of course, supervision of Ma Qi and the others is also essential.  This important task finally fell to Wang Yuze's cover, Wang Wei.  As Wang Yuze's cover and the son of the steward of the patrolling embassy, ??Wang Wei's loyalty to the Wang family was unquestionable.

    A week later, the supplies of the 10th Brigade were replenished, and the plan to fight the Qingma Army was fully launched.  Ma Yuntao, Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming sent a message to Xining that the negotiation failed and they would leave Qamdo and return to Xining.  At the same time, Ma Qi has secretly blended into their team.  Of course, the original 30-man bodyguard also took the opportunity to pledge their allegiance to Western Sichuan.  These people are all subordinates of Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming. Even the boss has defected to Western Sichuan. Naturally, they, who are the younger brothers, will not hold on.

    Wang Wei also mixed in with ten elite soldiers from the 10th Brigade, while the original escort left the same number of people in Qamdo.  Meanwhile, the entire 10th Brigade had been mobilized.  All the troops are also ready for battle and they will set off in two days.  According to the budgeted time, by the time they arrived at Nangqian, Ma Qi and others had already taken control of Nangqian and seized command of the troops.

    On the plateau at the end of March, the snow had almost melted and the muddy roads were almost dry, which would not affect the march of the large troops.  The journey from Qamdo to Nangqian is a little longer because we have to pass through Tha Nyen Tha Weng Mountain.  But for the cavalry, it only takes four days.

    On the afternoon of April 1, Ma Yuntao and others arrived at Nangqian. Since someone had been sent to notify them long ago, Zhang Mingyuan, the commander of the 23rd Battalion of the Qingma Army, greeted them.  However, Ma Qi, Wang Wei and others did not show up.

    "Mr. Ma, Brother Bai, Brother Ding, brothers, I have prepared wine and food. We will not go home until we are drunk tonight!" Zhang Mingyuan is a burly man in his thirties.  He usually has a good relationship with Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming.

    "Haha, okay! Brother Zhang, please stay for a moment. Let's go back to the camp first. We will definitely come to the banquet in the evening!" Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming both replied.  After returning to Nangqian, they must first control the troops.  Otherwise, the entire plan cannot be carried out at all.

    "Okay, then brothers, I'll be waiting for you!" Zhang Mingyuan didn't say much.  Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming have been away from the army for so long, so naturally they want to care about the current situation of the army first. This is human nature.  As for Ma Yuntao, he left with Zhang Mingyuan first.  He is from Xining and has a very high status. Even if he fails to complete the task this time, he is not something Zhang Mingyuan can neglect.  Therefore, Zhang Mingyuan maintains high respect for Ma Yuntao.

    After Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming returned to their troops, they immediately summoned their confidants.  They did not hide anything and told the truth about their allegiance to western Sichuan.  This news shocked the officers below them.  However, Ma Qi then appeared and told them the reason for defecting to western Sichuan.  Wang Wei once again assured everyone on behalf of Western Sichuan that after joining the Western Sichuan Army, their official positions would not be reduced, and military pay would be similar to that of the Western Sichuan Army.  This immediately left no one with any opinions.  The military pay of the Western Sichuan Army is more than double that of their Qingma Army.  Besides, since the battalion commander has defected to Western Sichuan, there is no need for his subordinates to sacrifice their lives for the Qingma Army.  As for Ma Haiyan, even his son betrayed him, so he must be running out of energy!

    As the battalion commanders of the Western Sichuan Army, Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming also have great control over their troops.  Ma Haiyan didn't care about this. After all, every battalion commander's family was in Xining, so he naturally didn't have to worry about them rebelling.  Moreover, if the battalion commander can powerfully control the troops, this will also greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.  Because of this, after Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming defected to Western Sichuan, the 12th and 17th Battalions of the Qingma Army also defected to Western Sichuan.

    In the evening, Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming led theThe guards went to the banquet.  Tonight, they will force Zhang Mingyuan to join them.  They had just defected to Western Sichuan and urgently needed military merit to prove themselves so that they could gain a firm foothold in the Western Sichuan Army.

    During the banquet, everyone drank and chatted happily.

    "Mr. Ma, this time the Western Sichuan Army has gone too far. The Admiral has given the order and will fight the Western Sichuan Army at all costs. Now, it's time for us to make a contribution!" Zhang Mingyuan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and said excitedly  .  Only by fighting can soldiers like them make achievements and have the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune.

    Ma Yuntao smiled and said nothing more.  Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming also looked at Zhang Mingyuan playfully.  Zhang Mingyuan felt very uncomfortable. He always felt that Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming were a little strange tonight.

    "Brother Bai, Brother Ding, why are you looking at me like this?" Zhang Mingyuan asked.

    "Brother Zhang, we have something to discuss with you tonight!" Bai Meng said.

    "Brother Bai, this is just an outsider, isn't it? If you have anything to say, just say it!" Zhang Mingyuan replied boldly.

    "Brother Zhang, this trip to Western Sichuan has given us a lot of insight! The strength of Western Sichuan is far beyond what our Qingma Army can contend with. Even if the three Ma Jiajun families join forces, they will definitely not be the opponent of the Western Sichuan Army! I think  , In less than ten years, the world will change its surname!" Bai Meng sighed.

    "Yes! We rough guys have to prepare a way out for ourselves. Otherwise, it will be too late when the ship sinks!" Ding Zhongming also said.

    Zhang Mingyuan was suddenly shocked. How could he not understand what Bai Meng and Ding Zhongming meant so clearly.  At this moment, all the wine he drank turned into sweat, and soon his whole body was wet.

    "Bai Meng, Ding Zhongming, are you two going to betray the admiral?" Zhang Mingyuan asked.

    "That's right, Brother Zhang, we have now surrendered to the Western Sichuan Army. You can join us too!" Bai Meng admitted.

    "You are looking for death, come here! Catch these traitors!" Zhang Mingyuan shouted.  However, the courtyard outside was still quiet, and his subordinates did not come in.

    "Stop shouting, your people have been taken care of by us!" The door to the room was pushed open, and a young man walked in from the outside.  Zhang Mingyuan took a look and saw that it was Ma Qi, the eldest young master of the Qingma Army.

    "Young Master, are you also?" Zhang Mingyuan was completely stunned.

    "Yes, the Qing Ma Army is already in decline. If you follow the Qing Ma Army, you will not end well!" Ma Qi said with certainty.

    What kind of world is this?  My son has risen up against me!  Zhang Mingyuan didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

    "Brother Zhang, why are you hesitating? Make a decision quickly!" Ding Zhongming urged.

    Zhang Mingyuan shuddered, and he could see the cold light in Ma Qi's eyes very clearly.  If he doesn't agree, then he will only die now.

    "Okay, since the young master has said so, I, Zhang Mingyuan, will definitely obey your orders!" Zhang Mingyuan made a choice immediately.

    "Okay! General Zhang, please go and appease your subordinates! In addition, block the news and wait for the Western Sichuan Army to station in Nangqian!" Ma Qi said excitedly.  This matter was finally accomplished, and he had made the first contribution to the Western Sichuan Army!
