[X] Plan The Glorious March : The Guangdong clique must be destroyed, to this end an offensive shall be undertaken from the North and the South to isolate them from the Beiyang Government. The National Revolutionary Army will create the first regular units of the army. Efforts must also be undertaken to create a weapon smuggling ring preferably from the French or the British. Comrade Sun will also invite the Warlords aligned with the Republican government to a secret conference with the aim to ensuring a unity in action against the Imperialists and to plead with them to put their differences aside for the duration of the war.

In the extreme south, the relief expected by Long Jiguang did not materialise, and he was forced to face the growing might of Sun Yat-sen's KMT alone. On the banks of the Pearl Delta, near the city of Fatshan, the final battle took place. Long Jiguang, and his associate Ye Ju, marshalled the forces of the Guangdong Clique in a defensive formation outside of Fatshan. Unfortunately for them, the gathered armies of both Tang Jiyao and Li Liejun knew that the most obvious place to establish defenses would be the Pearl River, and agreed to a Glorious March. Tang Jiyao would face them head on while Li Liejun would cross the river far to the north and wrap around in order to both deny north support and capture the Guangdong Clique's army.
This Glorious March would be a wild success. Tang Jiyao's army would pound the defenses of Long and Ye for days, with raids being conducted nightly and offenses often, wearing down the morale of the Guangdong soldiers. When Lie's soldiers found their prey, the men of Guangdong broke, with barely a pitched battle to be seen until Ye Ju managed to rally a large segment of the infantry to make one final charge. This is when Tang's men made a full charge themselves, and this Guangdong charge was cut down from two sides. Although Long Jiguang managed to escape capture and make his way to Beijing (where he'd soon find work under Duan Qirui), Ye Ju was not as lucky. His body would be identified by a former officer of the Guangdong Clique in the following days.
With Long fled and Ye dead, the Guangdong Clique quickly collapsed to the benefit of the KMT. Sun Yat-sen was more than pleased with himself as he was driven to Canton to oversee a small but celebratory victory parade. Finally in Canton, Sun made overtures to warlords throughout the nation. Alas, his efforts were mostly fruitless, as the warlords that weren't already under his thumb were either uninterested in losing their autonomy, or were distracted by the happenings in Beijing.
These happenings occurring at the direct result of Zhang Zuolin. President of the Beiyang Republic, Zuolin was much more interested in securing his own power than acting on any other real problems within the nation. Thus, he engaged with the monarchists and military in order to prop up his regime. Individuals like Zhang Xun and Zhang Xueliang saw their weight grow as the monarchists were allowed to infiltrate civil institutions and the Marshal's son saw an increased grip on the Beiyang Army (at the immense dissatisfaction of those within the Zhili and Anhui Cliques).
This would be important due to Zuolin's controversial decision to break with some of the distinctly important, self-empowering policies of the Beiyang government regarding foreigners. Particularly to two individual incidents, the first caused by Zuolin, the second not so much.
The first was when Zuolin made overtures to various European powers in regards to "undesired" (read uncontrolled) portions of the nation to fund Beiyang "projects" (read the army). This would see the sale of Aksai Chin to the British, who quickly incorporated the long desired region into the Raj. This sale proved to be immensely destructive to the credibility of Zuolin, and once again it seemed that the Chinese government was at the beck and call of foreign powers. If this was the sole event of the year, it would have allowed Zuolin's regime to survive intact, however this is when the Japanese took control of the Manchurian railroad from the rapidly collapsing Russian army. Zuolin was far from being able to react in time before his backers outside of the Fengtian Clique, utterly outraged, threw him right out of the Presidency. A united clique of Zhang Xun, Xu Shichang, and Duan Qirui enacted a palace coup of Zuolin, who escaped solely thanks to the power of his son Zhang Xueliang.
As Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang fled to their base in Manchuria, it was announced in Beijing that the Manchurian Emperor Pu-Yi would once again rule from Beijing. This announcement shocked both the world and those powers outside of the immediate area of the new Qing Empire. Sun Yat-sen quickly denounced both Pu-Yi and his handlers, while many warlords, especially in the west, took it as a positive sign. Both Ma Anliang and Yang Zhengxin quickly threw their support behind the new Qing Empire, while the Manchuria, under Zuolin, reluctantly gave their passive support as well.
Where once there was simply two republics, now there was one republic and a resurgent Empire. Thanks to Zuolin in making the Qing restorationists more important, alongside the generally monarchist nature of the Beiyang government, the Qing Empire was allowed to rise again.
It was in this state of chaos and confusion that the tongs of Shanghai seized control of the Chinese-zone of the city from the governor. Installing a friend of Big Eared Du by the name of Chiang Kai-shek and declaring themselves the Chinese Revolutionary Party (completely different from Sun's Chinese Nationalist Party), the tongs secured themselves in all ways that were not administered by the British authorities.
As Russia continued to be destabilised, Japan continually infringes on Chinese rule, and a newfound Empire, China's future is up in the air.

[X] Plan: A Holy Eastern Empire -
Jesus fucking Christ this plan is ambitious and insane, but if it works....my god the benefits.
[X] Plan: A Holy Eastern Empire -
Phase I: Invite all noted monarchist, reactionaries, and the zhang family into prominent positions of the newly resurgent Qing Empire to stabilize respected regions, but only give Zhang Zuolin a position regarding military.
Phase II: Address the public on the betrayal of Zhang Zuolin regarding the sell of Aksai Chin to the British and reassure the people on the Empire desiring only the best for them and pure Chinese Independence from outside forces and a new superpower much like of the Empires of Old. Assure the people that Zhang Zuolin will no longer have a place in the government concerning civil and foreign affairs. Remind them that these are drastic and troubling times, and in such times one must be able to make drastic decisions to benefit the people of China as a whole.
Phase III: Use Aisin Gioro Puyi has a symbol of national unity and previous great leaders of China to rally the populace under the newly establish Qing Empire which will be named the Holy Eastern Empire with a flag to represent all of the ethnic groups of China.
Phase IV: Steal the Three Principles of the People from Sun Yat-Sen, while reworking them to incorporate and fit the desires of the monarchists and those that support the newly formed Holy Eastern Empire. Promise the People a more democratic government by promising the creation of 5 Yuans once the Crisis (The Civil War) is over where the rights of the people will be protected and upheld and where all are represented equally.
Phase V: Begin propaganda campaigns to discredit the KMT, while rallying the people under the banner of the new empire in hopes of sowing more discord. Establish spies and guerrilla groups in KMT lands to disrupt and sabotage their efforts, while gaining intel for the empire to use.
Phase VI: Develop friendly relations with Du Yueshang. Promise a prominent role in the government with control over Shanghai and the western enclaves such as Hong Kong when they are under Chinese Control once more. Develop friendly relations with the Japanese imperial family as well.
Phase VII: Have a massive recruitment thrive for Zhang Xun to command an army that will be trained and organized with foreign support in the form of of volunteers, mercenaries, supplies, and tacticians to better this training, and to turn their independent battalions into a powerful Imperial Army.
Phase VIII: Have a massive Call-To-Arms for all warlords loyal to the Holy Eastern Empire to gather their forces and entrench along the KMT controlled lands and the lands of any warlord aligned to the KMT and establish defenses and fortifications at strategic positions. Ensure that all of the Warlords have an effective way to communicate among each other to better coordinate this blockade. Also make sure all armies are ready for battle at any given time.

[X] Plan: Remove the shackles of our past. The Sale of Aksay Chin to the British is a great humiliation to the Chinese nation proving once and for all that the Beijing Government cannot be trusted, whatever the name they choose for themselves the rotten core still remains. The Guomindang will remind the people again and again that it is the Qing that shamefully kowtowed to the Foreign devils in a massive propaganda effort within both our borders and outside it. Our military shall engage in an offensive operation to the north along the rivers taking care to ensure our supply lines are secure. We shall also establish our government following Comrade Sun's "Three principles of the People" Hopefully establishing a nucleus for governing our territories. Foreign diplomatic efforts should be focused to the united states to drum up sympathy and support in our fight for Independence and Democracy.
