Under the command of Zuo, Ma Qianling repeatedly made meritorious military service, seized every opportunity to expand the family power, and the Ma family gradually rose in the northwest.
In the second generation, that is, Ma Ganling's sons Ma Fulu and Ma Fuxiang, Ma Fulu became the military attache of the Qing Dynasty because he won the Jinshi. He led the troops to put down the rebellion many times, made meritorious military service, and his status and strength also improved. When Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Ma Fulu led a fierce battle with Eight-Nation Alliance in Langfang and died unfortunately. Ma Fuxiang, his younger brother and the second son of Ma Qianling, inherited Ma Fulu's army and became an important warlord force in the northwest.

Mahongkui
Under the command of Chiang Kai-shek, Ma Hongkui took part in the Central Plains War, the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army revolutionary base areas and other wars. 1933, Ma Hongkui officially became the chairman of Ningxia province and became the king of Ningxia. Like all warlords, does Ma Hongkui know? The gun is the grass king? He clung to the army.
Located in the northwest of Ningxia, the land is barren, sparsely populated and the economy is extremely backward. In order to support the huge army, Ma Hongkui tried to squeeze the people of Ningxia, further aggravating their suffering. However, unlike Ma Bufang, although Ma Hongkui killed people and suppressed the masses, it also made achievements in eradicating opium, establishing education and building local areas.

Ma Hongkui worked for the Manchu government, Yuan Shikai, Feng, Wu, Feng Yuxiang, Chiang Kai-shek and other forces. With the help of both sides, have it both ways's skill and strength have been expanding. And eventually became the king of Ningxia.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Ma Hongkui served as Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Eighth Theater and Commander-in-Chief of the 17 Army. And sent two cavalry brigades to participate in the anti-Japanese war. During the War of Liberation, Ma Hongkui led his troops to attack the base areas many times. 1949 When the People's Liberation Army marched into the northwest, Ma Hongkui was reunified? Green horse? Ma Bufang resisted together.
However, due to the different intentions of the two horses, the PLA was powerful and Ma Hongkui was defeated. Fearing that he would be liquidated for resolutely opposing the Communist Party, Ma Hongkui flew to Taiwan Province Province at the time of his fall, and soon arrived in the United States, where he died on 1970.
