present situation

For Mr. Ma Xiaojun, the villagers have always respected him very much. Therefore, although the "Ci Tang big house" has gone through many vicissitudes, it is basically intact. Built in 1919, the house has a history of more than 100 years. Although it has been listed as a key cultural relic unit under state protection, there are still dozens of people living in it. At the beginning of liberation, Ma's house was not owned by the state according to the local policy. After the implementation of the overseas Chinese house policy in 1987, most of the houses in Ma's house have been returned to the descendants of Mr. Ma. There are still nine villagers with other surnames living in the compound. One of them is Ma Zhuhong, Ma Xiaojun's nephew.

prospect

As Ma Xiaojun went to Taiwan later, his former residence has now become a Taiwan related cultural relic. According to Rong County Museum, the State Administration of cultural relics is now preparing to spend a huge sum of money on the restoration of Ma Xiaojun's former residence. When we came to interview, we just met people from Rong County's Ministry of land and resources who are surveying and mapping the house and preparing to apply for state funding for repair. Because Ma Xiaojun is a general of the Kuomintang, now the country has decided to do a major reconstruction in order to create a good cross-strait political environment.

Resume

family

It is worth mentioning that during the period of the Republic of China, four generals came out of the majiazu temple. Rong county is the first to have four generals. I'm afraid it's rare in China. In addition to Lieutenant General Ma Xiaojun, Ma Zhanhong was the second general of the Ma family. He graduated from the Central Army University and served as county magistrate, major general and deputy commander. Ma Zhenhong, the third general of the Ma family, graduated from Nanning military academy and served as a major general. Ma Xianghong, the fourth general of the Ma family, graduated from the University of Chicago in the United States. He holds the rank of major general and serves as the commander of Guangzhou military training.

Life

Ma Xiaojun's father is Linan and his mother is Qin. Five brothers, he's second. As a young man, he was brilliant and diligent. He took part in the children's examination, and won the first place in the county examination in Wuzhou Prefecture. After that, he was selected to study in Baoding army accelerated school. He was transferred to Zhenwu School of Japan for three years. He was transferred to the United Army to join the alliance in Tokyo. Just after his training, Sun Yat Sen's revolution of 1911 broke out. He immediately returned to China to participate in the revolution and served as the staff officer and leader of the student army of the Nanjing left behind government. After discussing peace between the north and the south, he returned to Guangxi to serve as a staff officer of the mixed brigade. After the failure of the second revolution led by Sun Yat Sen, he went eastward again to study in the 10th infantry division of the Chinese student team of the Japanese army sergeant school. After graduating in 1915, he returned to Beijing for an internship in the 10th Army division. In the same year, he was ordered by Cai E to return to Guangxi. When passing through Nanjing, he was found by Yuan Shikai's followers and detained for several months. After escaping danger, he returned to Guangxi. He was out of tune with the Guangxi authorities, but in order to develop his career, he had to give in. In 1917, he served as the commander's staff officer in the governor's office and took part in the national defense movement.

At this time, Ma Xiaojun, who was in his youth, was full of ambition, but he felt that he could not find a way out of his own hands. He wanted to seek a development point for his career, so as to concentrate the aspiring young people to work together. So he proposed to Chen Bingkun, the governor of Guangxi, to set up the army model battalion, hoping to focus on it and create the capital for future development. In order to change the quality of the army, Chen Bingkun appointed him as the battalion commander, which made his ideal plan come true.

At that time, Lu Rongting, the governor of Guangxi, was born in the patrol army. Most of his subordinates were patrolling the old army, so that officers and soldiers could serve without learning. The generals at that time, except Chen Bingkun, were more rational and intelligent. They were especially scrupulous about the students who graduated from military academies and did not dare to reuse them. The reason is that the fact that the new army took part in the revolution one after another during the Wuchang Uprising was repeated. place
