Changsha coup
The MaRi Incident was a mutiny in Changsha on the evening of May 21, 1927 (MaRi).
After the Northern Expeditionary Army conquered Changsha, Hunan in July 1926, the Communist Party and the Kuomintang left carried out land reform in Hunan, carried out class struggles, and wiped out the proletariat; they immediately embarked on class struggle and slaughter policies, such as Changsha ’s industrial giant Jin Yuhua, and the military ’s Li Youwen , And Ye Dehui, who is famous for his long name and Zhang Taiyan, and Li Lisan ’s father (some sources call this a rumor), were convicted in a public trial and shot on the spot.[1][2]
In April 1927, after several deaths of Changsha landlords Li Youwen, Ye Dehui, and Yu Zheqing were sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court, the news even stimulated He Jian. Part of the landlords executed by the Red Guards by the peasant movements in various places were relatives of the Northern Expedition officers who had a relatively solid family background. This caused great dissatisfaction within the army, and the Northern Expeditionary Army protested to Chiang. On April 12, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "Clear Party" in Shanghai. At that time, Changsha belonged to Wang Jingwei's Wuhan National Government and had not yet been divided.[3]
On the afternoon of May 21, Xu Kexiang, head of the 33rd Regiment of the 35th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, was informed that the Communist Party of China planned to start a massacre on May 25, and Xu Sui launched the same night on May 21. "Efforts to shovel the Communist Party", directed Wang Dongyuan, Zhou Rongguang, Li Zhongren, Tao Liu and others to blockade and blockade more than 20 Communist Party organs such as the KMT Hunan Provincial Party Department, Provincial Special Court, Communist Party Department, Federation of Trade Unions, and Farmers Association The worker's pickets and the Peasant Self-Defense Forces were armed, but the leftists were indiscriminately killed, all landlords in custody were released, and the Nanjing National Government supporting Chiang Kai-shek was announced as a "MaRi Incident." On May 23, Xu Kexiang and others formed the "China Kuomintang Hunan Salvation Party Office", and on May 28 they formed the "China Kuomintang Hunan Salvation Party Committee", triggering similar actions in some counties and cities. On May 29, Tang Shengzhi changed his attitude and turned on electricity to oppose the Communist Party. The "MaRi Incident" is actually the beginning of the Wuhan branch. After the incident happened, Tang Shengzhi returned to Hunan to punish Xu Kexiang's unauthorized action, and Xu led Junnan to escape to Chiang.[4]
