According to the report of the followers who were responsible for escorting Ma Wanxuan when they fled back, although the sudden appearance of horses had all made clever disguises, they could conclude that the person who intercepted them was the Taiping Red Army. (^shou^^№www.piaotian.com) Because some of them were holding the sabre that only they had, with a narrow sword.

Ma Hualong was angry.

Pingliang Prefecture is now the General Command of the Punishment of the Red Army. Pingliang and Qingyang Prefectures were both forced to seize the slogan of seeking the riots of the Hui people in Shaanxi in order to protect the local Han people from being damaged.

In mid-July, another secret letter from Ma Hualong came to the hands of Huang Zaixing, commander-in-chief of Pingfu. Since early May, Huang Zaixing has become a kinky disease. When he was young, he first suffered from "old stomach problems", and then he was infected with malignant dysentery. Nearly two months have passed. Although his condition has gradually improved, he has tortured his body to afflict enough. At this time, his face, which was not much fleshy, was sallow, and like an axe and knife carved, was thin and was left with his skin wrapped in bones. At the beginning of the month, when he finally persuaded Lin Fengxiang to sit in Xi'an, planning and preparing to cross the Yellow River in the future to support the battle of the Second Red Front Army. When he arrived from Xi'an to Pingliang, he ordered the guards to tie him on the horse's back and barely persisted here.

In Ma Hualong's letter, he did not mention Ma Wanxuan's death, but expressed the two different opinions currently arising from Ningxia in a very sincere tone. Finally, in an extremely friendly and urgent tone, he begged the Red Army of the Celestial Dynasty to send several "heavyweight" representatives to Guyuan for contact, so as to dispel the doubts of some people who committed various sins in the early stage and help convince and unify their internal understanding. At the same time, in order to dispel the doubts of one side of the Celestial Dynasty, he also swore in the name of Allah in his letter to absolutely guarantee the personal safety of the negotiators.

In the General Command of Punishment, there was another big debate over how to view Ma Hualong's letter.

With the veto of Ningxia Prefecture by Ma Hualong and others, in order to deal with the possible major harm caused by the breakdown of negotiations between the two sides, the First Red Army has begun to concentrate seven armies, and nearly 200,000 troops of the Ma Zuowei 30,000 Huimin Corps, which had just been reorganized by the Shaanxi Rebel Army, were divided into three directions, north, central and south, and were preparing to participate in the fight against the rebellion by force.

On the North Road, Zhu Xikun and Zou Guojian led the main force of the Hong Er and the 14th armies from Dingbian area to advance westward. One of them directly pointed to the old nest on which Ma Hualong started his business and Lingzhou Jinji Fort, which restrained the main force of Gansu's return troops concentrated in the area and Ningxia Prefecture City. At the same time, the other one turned south and cooperated with the Red Army in the middle Road to completely annihilate the Bai Yanhu rebels stationed in Huan County.

In the middle road, Huang Zaixing personally controlled the 11th and 16th armies and the Ma Zuowei Huimin Corps were also divided into two groups, with the main force besieging Huan County, and the 11th Army headquarters led a main division from Zhenyuan to advance northwest, directly into the current old nest of the Renwu rebels, Guyuanzhou City.

Of course, the beginning of all these actions depends on the highlight of the South Road. The South Road participated in the suppression of the rebellion, the 13th and 18th Army and completed the preliminary transfer of materials from Hanzhong. The main force of the Red 19th Army, led by Qin Rigang, was to use the siege of Dingxi County, which was also controlled by the Ningxia General Mutushan of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to lure the main force of the Renwu Army, who was always good at fighting behind the Red Army and destroying the strategic intentions of the Red Army, to leave his nest and advance. The main force of the Red Army's South Road took this opportunity to set up a battlefield east of the Zulihe River and completely eliminate these scums.

It can be said that the entire Red Army on the front line, who are united in hating the enemy, have made preparations for the strategic initiative of the Northwest only in one battle.

But all this was temporarily disrupted by a letter from Ma Hualong. In the newly established United Front Work Department of the Front Army, Ma Fuchu and Ma Rulong and other Hui people from Yunnan expressed great interest in the rare positive attitude shown by Ma Hualong. Being able to turn swords into jade is the ultimate goal of their coming here. Therefore, they all expressed their willingness to go to Guyuan and take on the important task of being the envoy of peace.

As Huang Zaixing's successor, Zhang Suimu, at this time, also stood on the side of accepting the invitation from Ma Hualong's letter.

In order to equip the Red Army with the best chief of staff after Huang Zaixing's resignation, Shi Dakai proposed Zhang Suimou to Lin Haifeng after considering it for a long time. As Shi Dakai, he saw clearly that the main task of the Red Army's future is to pacify the entire northwest and then build a powerful strategic army that can not only defend the vast northwest territory, but also give a fatal blow to the covetous Tsarist Russia. More importantly, the northwest road is difficult, the territory is vast, and the communication is inconvenient. What is most needed is to have an absolute belief in the great loyalty to the Celestial Empire and have superhuman strategies. This position seems to be more important than the position of Chief of Staff of the Red Army where Zhang Suimou was in the past. It can be seen that Zhang Suimou is definitely not an incompetent person.

The reason why Zhang Suimu strongly agreed to peacefully resolve the riots of the Shaanxi-Gansui army, even at the beginning, actively agreed that at the cost of pretending to accept the so-called "autonomousness" of prefectures and states such as Ningxia were thrown out by Ma Hualong and others in exchange for temporary peaceful relocation with the Shaanxi-Gansui army. It was not his temporary rise or he regarded the problem too simplified. On the contrary, he saw the various adverse factors that the Rebellion riots might bring to the restoration of the country by the Red Army of the Celestial Empire. He was once a loyal believer of the God-worshiping Church, but now he is a communist of the Celestial Empire.

Although the members of the Mongke may not have a deep understanding of this emerging Mongke, at least in his sense, the Mongke is not much different from the original God worship church. It is just that in pursuit, it seems that God is more direct and close than God worship church. He thought that no one could see God, and no one could tell whether there was really no one. However, the service to the people that Lin Haifeng said was something that everyone should understand in any case. Of course, it is very pretentious in theory, although it is difficult to do.

In any case, Zhang Suimu's starting point was to let the banner of the Celestial Empire cover every corner of the land of China as soon as possible. In his opinion, it was normal to use cunning in his interactions with enemies. Just imagine, if it were not for the restraint of these riots and return troops, on the one hand, the hundreds of thousands of Red Army soldiers who had been through the battle formation had already taken big steps to sweep Shaanxi and Gansu, or even cross the Yellow River to the east, and cooperated with the other two fronts to completely trample the Qing Dynasty under their feet, why would it be that they had a tangled negotiation with them in Jinan?

Before coming to Shaanxi, he was once enthusiastically received by Lin Haifeng in the northern camp in Xuzhou. He still remembers Director Lin smiling and said to him, "The future of the Celestial Empire is bright. Soon we will produce something specifically used to help myopia glasses like you with vision defects. At that time, I will send someone to send you a pair of them first and bring them with you, and you will see everything you couldn't see clearly before."

At that time, Zhang Suimue also smiled. No, he felt that he could figure out everything in his heart, but his eyes were a little bit bad.

Huang Zaixing is the commander-in-chief. If time allows, he can convince Zhang Suimu or decisively reject Zhang Suimu. However, he cannot subdue the indescribable "brother-foot emotions" in the hearts of Ma Fuchu, Ma Rulong and others.

"I'll go to Guyuan," Zhang Suimu saw that a normal discussion might evolve into a similar debate that revenge was affected by the friendship between brothers. After looking at Ma Fuchu, who was blushing and thick-necked, Ma Rulong decisively proposed, "You can't go. For Ma Hualong and others, you must be prepared for both hands, especially the mad dog Ren Wu, who is still stationed in Guyuan. I can achieve two goals. One is to find out the other party's true intentions, and if possible, you will go in one after another. The other is to show our sincerity to the other party and more Hui brothers. Let them see, even though they have killed our negotiators, we may still not be afraid of life and death."

Huang Zaixing didn't say anything, but just sighed softly at Zhang Suimu. It's so difficult!

Zhang Suimu smiled, "Old Huang, don't worry about me. When I was a child, there was a blind book that I had been lucky enough to tell me, saying that I would have been rich for decades."

"Haha, yes," Ma Fuchu finally smiled when he saw the helpless sample book that Huang Zaixing had already revealed. "We like to keep our promises the most. We will never regret the promises we made in front of Allah. Commander Huang, this time I will accompany General Zhang to Guyuan no matter what," he said.
