1June, 936, the Red Army of the Western Expedition liberated Wang Yucheng. Ma was deeply moved to see that the Red Army was disciplined, respected the customs and habits of the Hui people and helped the poor. He quickly told the Hui people who had heard the rumors and fled, saying, "The Red Army is very good. We don't just walk into the homes of the Hui people. We don't take the needle and thread of the masses. We don't use the pots and pans of the Hui people. The Red Army is a team that works for the poor. " Driven by his propaganda.
After the Red Army entered Wang Yu, it vigorously carried out ethnic work, held training courses to train Hui cadres, and Ma Fu was also sent to study. His ideological consciousness improved rapidly, and he soon joined the China * * * Production Party with honor. When Yu Wang Bao Hui Autonomous Government was established, he was elected as the chairman.
With the deepening of ethnic work in various districts and townships, the consciousness of the Hui people has generally improved, and the conditions for establishing county-level Hui autonomous political power are ripe. The Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Provincial Party Committee and the Red Army's Western Expedition Command decided to establish a Hui autonomous government in Yuhai County, Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Province, in areas where Hui people live in compact communities to the west of Wang Yu County and to the east of Haiyuan County. 10 year 10 On October 20th, Yuhai Hui Autonomous Government was established in Tongxin Mosque. Ma was elected as the chairman and concurrently served as the captain of the Hui guerrilla brigade. Shortly after the establishment of the autonomous government, the three main forces of the Red Army joined forces to prepare to annihilate Hu Zongnan in Haiyuan and Tongxin District and repel the enemy's attack. Yuhai county is on the edge of the battlefield, and its task is extremely heavy. At this time, he is busy mobilizing all districts and towns to organize stretcher teams, transport teams and rescue teams, as well as cooked food and baked food, to prepare for supporting large troops. In order to fully mobilize the masses, on the fifth day of the establishment of the autonomous government, he took the notice of the Hui autonomous government in Yuhai County-a letter to compatriots in the northern circle signed by himself and rushed to the northern circle where the Red Army had not yet arrived to gather the masses and explain the documents of the autonomous government in detail. He also used the rural rally day to preach the situation and tasks at that time. With a strong local accent, he said to everyone, "With the help of the Red Army, we have established an autonomous government for the Hui people in Yuhai County, abolished all exorbitant taxes and levies, and reduced rent and interest rates. This is a very happy thing. We should unite and support the Red Army in destroying the Kuomintang army. Our Red Army will also go to Ningxia to liberate the working people in Ningxia. " His speeches often attract half the people in the street and get enthusiastic response from everyone.
At the end of 10, Zhu De led the headquarters of the Fourth Army to Tongxin City, and all the cadres and masses of Yuhai county government were led by horses, holding banners and slogans of "warmly welcoming the arrival of the Second and Fourth Army" and "celebrating the victory of the three main forces of the Red Army" and greeted them with abundant food. Wendy Ma arranged Commander-in-Chief Zhu De in a spacious mansion and treated him warmly. The masses sent cooked food such as beef, mutton and dry steamed buns to the Red Army to comfort all officers and men. The officers and men of the Red Army fought in Wan Li and had a good meal in Tongxin City, which made them feel at home.
165438+1At the beginning of October, the Red Army from all walks of life arrived in Tongxin City one after another and held a party of 10,000 soldiers and civilians on the floodplain outside the west gate of Tongxin City. Ma first delivered a welcome speech on behalf of the people of Yuhai County. He said earnestly, "Comrades of the Red Army, villagers, we people in Yuhai District live a life inferior to that of cattle and horses under the rule of Kuomintang Ma Hongkui. They arrested soldiers, demanded money and forced us. The Red Army climbed the snowy mountain and crossed the grassland, overcame difficulties and obstacles, defeated the enemy, and successfully realized the meeting of the three armed forces and came to Tongxin City. On behalf of the people of Yuhai County, I would like to extend a warm welcome. We will support the Anti-Japanese Red Army with practical actions ... "
Ma Fu's simple language inspired the audience.
In order to repel the enemy's pursuit, the Red Army continued to advance eastward. Ma and Fu firmly believed that the Red Army would come back soon and decided to stay and fight guerrilla warfare and underground warfare. Unfortunately, they were arrested. Ma Hongkui ordered Ma and Fu to be taken to Ningxia for personal interrogation. Ma Hongkui advised him: "Wendy Ma Fu, as long as you write a repentance book and get rid of the influence of the * * * production party, you can live!" Wendy Ma replied categorically: "People are bound to die. My life is already desperate. It's up to you to live or die, but it's your delusion to ask me to repent! " He endured all kinds of severe tests in the enemy's prison, but he would rather die than surrender.
On April 3rd 1937, Ma Hongkui ordered Ma and Fu to be taken back to Tongxin. The enemy wants to harm Ma and Fu. At this time, the street was crowded with people who came to see their loved ones off, and their eyes were full of tears. On the way to the execution ground, the Kuomintang county magistrate Qu solemnly asked him, "What do you have to say?" Dragging the heavy shackles, he thundered: "You oppressed the people, slaughtered them, and did all the bad things, and finally you will be judged by the people. I died well for the liberation of the Hui people. " He also said that he would go clean and "change to Ussuri". Ma and Fu "changed the water" (washed themselves clean), got dressed and walked to the execution ground with their heads held high, showing the revolutionary integrity that a communist party member should have.
After the founding of New China, Tongxin County People's Government built the Martyrs Cemetery, erected a tombstone for him and built a memorial pavilion, which became one of the bases of patriotism and revolutionary tradition education in Ningxia.
