Blood-quenched mountains and rivers

As soon as the news that Chiang Kai-shek ordered Yang Wei to attack the Northwest Army came out, Yang Wei's subordinates Xing Jun, Wang Xiao, Fang Dacheng, Li Tiegang and Qian Chengshan immediately sighed.

Qian Chengshan frowned first and said: "Commander, the Northwest Army is brave and good at fighting. The place is full of mixed fish and dragons, but it is said that the order of the Son of Heaven cannot be violated. What should we do?"

Li Tiegang gave him a disdainful look, and said contemptuously: "A man should serve the country, but it's just the Northwest Army that scares you like this?"

Before the battle was fought, several people already had their own ideas. Xing Jun looked at Yang Wei's expression very unsightly, and interrupted them by waving his hands again and again: "Okay, President Jiang's order must not be violated. Fighting is definitely going to happen. With the army commander here, even the Northwest Army is no problem. It's just..."

Xing Jun hesitated for a moment, frowned and looked at Yang Wei. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but said: "Although fighting is not a problem, there is a problem in the army that has to be solved right now."

Hearing Xing Jun's flickering tone, Yang Wei glanced at him suspiciously and said, "What's the problem?"

Xing Jun sighed softly, and said falteringly: "Commander, the military expenditure of our army is probably not enough. The northwest is far away, and the military supplies are not a small amount."

Xing Jun mentioned this point not long ago, but Yang Wei's affairs have been complicated recently, and he hasn't had time to think about this issue.

The Northwest Army fought in different ways than the Central Plains Army. If you want to attack the Northwest Army, it is useless to rely on Zhao Kuo's talk here. The specific situation must be carefully considered during the war, taking into account various factors. , and among these various factors, money is absolutely indispensable and the most important thing. If the money bag is empty, saying anything is nonsense.

Yang Wei couldn't help but frown. He was in Nanjing and was close to the emperor's feet. Those methods used in Shanghai and Hangzhou would definitely not work, but he had just paid 100 million U.S. dollars in military expenses, so he couldn't reach out to fight with Chiang Kai-shek at this time. Begging, even if you can get military expenses, those military expenses allocated according to the standards of other armies are not enough for Yang Wei's high-standard and high-configuration army.

It's time to think of a way to make money.

Think with modern thinking, what is the most valuable?What is hard currency?Naturally, it should be gold, coal, and oil. All the continuous wealth in this world depends on this, but this kind of thing has nothing to do with my current identity...

But when Yang Wei thought of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and in a flash, Yang Wei immediately thought of a wonderful solution, with a smile on his face, stood up excitedly, and said with pride: " Let's go to the northwest! Immediately, now, immediately!"

In a blink of an eye, Yang Wei's change made several people puzzled. They looked at Yang Wei in surprise, wondering what good idea he had thought of in his head, and Xing Jun asked tentatively: "Mr. Start, isn't it a bit sloppy, the issue of military supplies..."

With a big wave of his hand, Yang Wei dispelled Xing Jun's worries, determined to win, and said: "Northwest is a good place. As for military expenses, you don't have to worry about it. There will naturally be a solution in the Northwest."

Hearing what Yang Wei meant, it seemed that he planned to go to the Northwest to pan for gold, which surprised them a lot. Everyone knew that the Northwest was a barren place, so they couldn't figure out how Yang Wei could make money.

At that time, the Northwest was at a disadvantage in terms of planting crops and industrial development. It seemed impossible to people at the time to seek gold in the Northwest. However, Yang Wei had an unknown "vision". From the perspective of nearly a hundred years later, the Northwest is indeed a "fertile land", and the inexhaustible resources are an endless source of income.

For example, Yumen Oilfield.

If Yang Wei remembers correctly, at this time, the Yumen Oilfield has not yet been developed, which is a very rare opportunity for him, and it is also the first time for Yang Wei to deeply feel the benefits from later generations. The successful development of the Yumen Oilfield, not to mention the military supplies of one's own army, is not difficult even to feed the entire army.

It's just that if you want to control the Yumen Oilfield right now, you have to face a problem that you have to face.

Yumen Oilfield is located in the west of the Hexi Corridor, with Qilian in the south, Gobi in the north, Jiayuguan in the east, and Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, the art pearl in the west. The place under the jurisdiction of the Majia Army in the northwest.

The Ma family army was first armed by the Muslim warlords in the northwest region, and it was controlled by a feudal family. Due to the unique regional culture and ethnic cultural background, the Ma family army was superior in unity and cohesion, and at the same time showed the bravery and bravery that the Central Plains army did not have. But at the same time Also full of gore and violence.

As early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, Ma Zhanao, the great imam of Monigou in Hezhou, Gansu, rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, and then returned to the imperial court. ".

Today, the Ma family army is divided into three major forces, namely the Qinghai Ma family army, Ningxia Ma family army and Gansu Ma family army.Blood quenching mountains and rivers 273

Among them, Qingma is the heir of Ma Haiyan, and the most famous are the two brothers Ma Buqing and Ma Bufang, who stationed troops in Xining to control the Qinghai area. Ma Jiajun in Qinghai has a very close relationship with Feng Yuxiang.

The Ma Jiajun in Ningxia is the descendant of Ma Qianling, and Ma Hongbin and Ma Hongkui are guarding Ningxia. Among them, Ma Hongbin was the commander of the No. 20 Fourth Army of the Fourth Front Army of the Second Army. On the one hand, the commander of the Fourth Army of the Army.

In addition to these two forces, the Gansu Majia Army guarding Gansu is led by Ma Tingyu, who is the commander of the No.20 Seventh Division of the Second Army.As early as [-], when Feng Yuxiang led his troops into Gansu, because Feng Yuxiang withdrew Liangzhou Town, Ma Tingyi fought back, and was defeated in the First World War in Hezhou, so he had to retreat to Guoluo and Huangnan in the Tibetan area of ​​Qinghai.The Northwest Muslim Allied Forces under its command are few and far between among the three horses in the Northwest. Although Ma Tingyi himself has withdrawn from the borders of Gansu, his remnants still have a certain influence in Gansu.

Throughout the ages, there have been very few armies condensed by religious beliefs, but such armies often have the strongest cohesion and the greatest unity, and they cannot be shaken by ordinary means. Spirit and belief, this is also one of the most difficult reasons for Ma Jiajun to deal with.

If you want to get the Yumen Oilfield, you must deal with the Ma family army. The Ma family army referred to here does not only refer to Ma Tingyi, but the entire Muslim force entrenched in the northwest area.

Take Liu Yufen sent by Feng Yuxiang to Gansu as an example. Although Liu Yufen is the "chairman" of the Gansu provincial government, the largest force in Gansu is still the Ma Jiajun. If you can't eradicate all three forces, you can't really control Yumen Oilfield.

Thinking of this, Yang Wei nodded and sighed lightly, tapping his fingers on the table lightly, a plan had already formed in his mind.
