What is the main reason of Xi 'an incident?

The main reason of Xi 'an incident is that the contradiction between China and Japan has become the main social contradiction, which urgently needs to be solved.

The Xi incident, also known as the "Double Twelve Incident". 1936 12 12, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched a "military remonstrance" in Xi 'an in order to persuade Chiang Kai-shek to change the established national policy of "fighting abroad, stopping the civil war and unanimously resisting Japan". 1936, 1936 On February 25th, 1936, under the leadership of the Central Committee and Zhou Enlai, Chiang Kai-shek accepted the idea of "stopping the civil war and uniting with * * * to resist Japan" and settled it peacefully.

The peaceful settlement of the Xi 'an incident prepared the necessary premise for the establishment of the anti-Japanese national United front and became a turning point in the transformation from the civil war to the anti-Japanese national war.

Extended data:

In order to make the whole party understand the necessity of giving up anti-Chiang slogans, on September 1936, June 1 Sunday and June 17, China * * * successively issued the "Instructions on Forcing Chiang Kai-shek to Resist Japan" and "Resolutions on the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Movement and the New Situation of Democracy" to the party.

It is clearly pointed out that "Japanese imperialism is the main enemy of China people at present, so it is wrong to treat Japanese imperialism and Chiang Kai-shek equally, and the slogan of resisting Japan and Chiang Kai-shek is also inappropriate." "Our general policy should be to force Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan."

Just as the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China adopted the anti-Japanese policy and forced Chiang Kai-shek to push the Nanjing National Government to implement the anti-Japanese policy, Chiang Kai-shek personally went to Xi 'an on June 1936+00 to force Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to "suppress * *".

Zhang Xueliang and the Northeast Army have a deep feud and national hatred with Japan, and the contradiction with Chiang Kai-shek is becoming increasingly obvious. During the September 18th Incident, Zhang Xueliang carried out Chiang Kai-shek's non-resistance order and led his troops back to Shanhaiguan, which was reviled by the people all over the country.

1September, 935, Zhang Xueliang was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest General Command. In the Red Army's "encirclement and suppression" campaign in northern Shaanxi, he lost nearly three divisions, two divisions were killed and seven heads were killed or captured. Chiang Kai-shek took the opportunity to cancel the establishment of the three divisions of the Northeast Army.

The officers and men of the Northeast Army were deeply hurt by the loss of land and the destruction of their families, and they had a strong national consciousness. They don't want to fight civil war again and demand resistance to Japan. Yang Hucheng, the general of the nationalist army, had a cooperative relationship with the * * * production party as early as the Great Revolution. He was very dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's practice of "suppressing * * *" and eliminating dissidents, and gradually established contact with the * * * production party and the Red Army.

1in the spring of 936, the nationalist army and the red army first agreed that the two sides would defend each other's original lines of defense, not invade each other, send representatives to each other, keep close contact, and prepare for the war of resistance. In February of the same year, Zhong * * negotiated with the generals of the Northeast Army on behalf of Li Kenong and reached a local cooperation agreement between the Red Army and the Northeast Army.

In March, Li Kenong and Zhang Xueliang met in Luochuan. Zhang Xueliang said that he fully agreed with the two sides to strengthen ties, but he disagreed with China's anti-Japanese and anti-Chiang ideas.

In April, Zhang Xueliang and Zhou Enlai held talks in Yan 'an. The two sides reached a consensus on many major issues of joint anti-Japanese war, and concluded an agreement on mutual non-aggression, mutual help and mutual assistance, mutual defense and mutual representation, and the Red Army helped the Northeast Army to carry out anti-Japanese education. Zhang Xueliang thinks that Chiang Kai-shek still has national consciousness and should adopt the policy of forcing Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan.

After the talks, Ye Jianying, as a representative of the Red Army, stationed in Xi 'an to assist Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng in their anti-Japanese preparations. In this way, the anti-Japanese national United front of unity and cooperation between the Red Army and the Kuomintang army was first established in the northwest.
