This is no heroic anthem. It is the dark rise-to-power story of a warlord in the northwest.
In 1903, the Qing dynasty was nearing its end, and wolves circled the northwest. Five-year-old Ma Bufang pointed a gun at a religious leader, learning from an early age the secrets of rule: “guns and scriptures.” Father and sons Ma would stop at nothing to climb the ladder of power: ten gold bars bought an official’s robes, letting them kill with impunity in the court’s name; artillery shells crushed a thousand-man feud, while opium smuggling gave them a monopoly over salt and tea. Using their clan as a bond and religion as a disguise, they built a suffocating family dictatorship on the lands of Hehuang through ruthless violence and political intrigue.
First, watch as these northwestern wolves devour their rivals and carve out kingdoms, engraving “absolute self-interest” into their very bones.
Then watch as this arrogant empire of evil collides head-on with the unstoppable justice of the People’s Liberation Army, plunging toward its inevitable destruction!
This book continues the previous installment and begins with the story after the characters have grown up. You can enjoy it even if you haven’t read the previous book. Thank you all for your support.
I really enjoyed reading this book. After reading this chapter, I can't wait to read the next chapter. The logic and character analysis are very good and real. The author is great!
This book is well written, the article is fluent, and the story is touching. I can't stop reading it.
The writing is very beautiful, thumbs up to the author.
It looks pretty good now, I hope it doesn't fall apart in the future!
Didn't the last book already seize power? Why is this book still fighting? How do you plan to write that part of history?
A relatively fair description of Ma Bufang
Reproduce historical reality. It vividly describes the dark rule of the Kuomintang reactionaries in Qinghai, Gansu and other northwest areas in the 1930s and 1940s. The representative figure Ma Bufang and other Ma clans are tyrannical, deceitful, causing chaos in the world, killing all living beings, and committing all kinds of evil. The historical facts are narrated to the readers through vivid and concrete examples and simple language, allowing the readers to unknowingly enter the historical situation of that year. It can be said that the wonderful writing creates flowers, and the wonderful writing creates emotions... It is so memorable after reading it that I even forget to sleep! I put this pen down hastily, and it is inevitable that I will make mistakes. I am willing to give you some advice. Reader 2026.10.17
