In March of the 22nd year of Qianlong's reign, when the Manchu and Shaanxi-Gansu troops were relatively empty, Ma Yinglong acted in a play with the great imam Ma Hua'an under the guise of God coming to earth. It indicates that Allah will come to the world and create an empire belonging to China.
For their ambitions, they even lied to the outside world that when God comes, all Hui people should participate in "holy war" for the sake of God. All Hui people who participate in the "holy war" can obtain worldly wealth and heavenly blessings from God.
Human wealth is as long as you can grab the wealth of the pagans, and women are rewards given to you by Allah.
The blessing of heaven is that the Hui people who die participating in the "holy war" will be granted the right to enjoy heaven by God. In paradise, you can bathe in rivers flowing with milk, have a land full of jewels, eat countless delicacies every day, wear silk and satin, and be served by seventy-two wonderful virgins every day...
So, under the call of Ma Yinglong and Ma Hua'an, their team expanded from a team of only a few hundred people to thousands of people in an instant.
As the Hui people who joined their ranks slaughtered and plundered the local Han people, those Hui people who participated in the "uprising" instantly obtained a large amount of Han wealth and women, which deeply stimulated those Hui people who were still on the sidelines. Every day from now on, the number of people joining continues to increase.
Poor those Han people who were killed, they still didn't understand what happened, so they were killed by the Hui people who participated in the "uprising".
As the war continued, in addition to some relatively rational Hui people, tens of thousands of Hui people continued to join Ma Yinglong's team, and the available troops reached more than 100,000.
Although Ma Yinglong's team was ineffective in attacking the city, with the "support" of the local Hui people, they quickly conquered the surrounding cities.
At the end of July, with Guyuan as the center, it reaches Qingyang in the east, Huining in the west, Tianshui in the south, and Tongxin in the north. Dozens of cities in the Qing Dynasty, large and small, were captured by returning troops, which inspired Ma Yinglong and others.
At this moment, they thought that since Xixia could build a country on their own, why couldn't they and others do the same? If it were not for the Manchu Qing army pressing down on the country, Ma Yinglong and others might have announced the founding of the country and ascended the throne.
"...I heard that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has successfully negotiated peace with the rebels in the southeast, and now the troops originally used to encircle and suppress the Han people are used against us. Now we not only have to face the Qing army in the northwest of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also Troops coming from Shaanxi." Ma Yinglong said with some worry.
"Although there is no news of military affairs in the north, we have not yet occupied the Great Wall. What we are most afraid of now is whether Qianlong will open the Great Wall and let the Mongolian cavalry down. If the Manchus form a siege on us on three sides, we will It would be very dangerous.”
"Dear Hailifan①, I don't think you need to worry. The only strong enemy we have to face is the Qing army in the northwest. Since they can defeat Junggar's troops and rescue Da Hezhuo (named Boluonidu) and Xiao Hezhuo (named Huo Jizhan), which shows that their strength should not be underestimated." At this time, Bai Yanhu, the general of the returning army, stood up and saluted Ma Yinglong and consoled him.
"However, even if the Manchu Qing northwest army is strong, we don't have to worry too much. Xiaohe Zhuohuojizhan has now killed Amindao, the deputy capital commander sent by the Manchu Qing to recruit him, and established himself as Batur Khan."
"Diabo and Dropoloni were both encouraged. They called on all cities to raise troops to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. Together they gathered hundreds of thousands of people to rebel and raised troops to oppose the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The rebels controlled most of the South Tianshan Road."
"I believe that Qianlong will not sit idly by and ignore the newly pacified Western Region②, and will definitely let the northwest army divide its forces to go to the Tianshan Mountains. Therefore, the northwest army we have to face will not be too many."
"That's what I say, but there will definitely be a lot of troops coming from Shaanxi, and our army will be under great pressure from them!" Ma Yinglong replied.
"Dear Hailifan, your caution is a good thing for us, but I don't think you need to worry too much about the Qing army in the southeast. Look at the way we returned to kill those Han people. We killed three people at a time. Four of them are nothing to mention." At this moment, Yu Yan, the returning general who was sitting aside, also stood up and saluted and said.
"Those Han people are just cowardly and incompetent wastes. What they are most suitable for is to be slaves and contribute the good-looking women among them to our Allah's warriors. But such waste-like Han people can make a lot of people." The Qing government was beaten to a pulp and even had to sign a peace agreement.”
"So I see that the Qing troops coming from southeastern Shaanxi are just useless trash. Even if there are more people, they are not enough for our warriors of Allah to kill. With the blessing of Allah, we will definitely be able to kill all these infidels. Let their souls go to hell forever.”
"General Yu is right. It seems that the longer I live, the more I regress. Those Qing troops can't even defeat the cowardly and incompetent Han people. If they come to fight our warriors, they are just looking for death." Hearing this, Ma Yinglong relaxed his heart. He said mockingly.
"It is a good thing for Hailifan to worry more. After all, military affairs are not just a game. No matter how powerful our warriors are, they must be used properly in order to build a new kingdom for Allah in the world." Ma Hua'an consoled him.
"Thank you to the great imam." Ma Yinglong did not dare to express his gratitude and quickly saluted Ma Hua'an and thanked him.
"Hailifan, who is modest, prudent, brave and kind, will definitely create a new kingdom for God in the world." Ma Hua'an nodded in approval with satisfaction at Ma Yinglong's attitude.
"Thank you for the good words from the great imam." Ma Yinglong secretly thanked Ma Hua'an again with pride in his heart.
"Let's do this! There are no troops in the north now. We can leave a small number of troops to observe the movements in the north. All the remaining troops will be used to deal with the army in the northwest and the Qing army in the southeast."
"Yes, respected Hailifan..."
Bai Yanhu and Yu Yan replied immediately.
"General Bai, I will transfer 6,000 cavalry from the army to you, and I will transfer 50,000 warriors to you. Can you help me repel the Qing army in the northwest?" Ma Yinglong asked, looking at Bai Yanhu.
"When I return to Hailifan, I will fulfill my mission." Bai Yanhu replied loudly.
"Well, I'm really lucky to be the general." Ma Yinglong laughed and praised.
