[X] Sun Yat-sen
[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.
[x] Emperor Pu-Yi: Emperor of the Qing, Manchu noble.
[X] Plan: A Holy Eastern Empire - Invite all noted monarchist, reactionaries, and the zhang family into prominent positions of the newly resurgent Qing Empire to stabilize respected regions. Proceed to request foreign support in the form of volunteers, mercenaries, supplies, and tacticians to gain military advantage. Try to develop friendly relations with the japanese imperial family.
[X] Du "Big-Eared Du" Yuesheng: Han mob boss who has a controlling interest in Shanghai and worked with elements of the Republicans. Ties with elements of the Chinese National Party. [X] Insert spies into the KMT and the Qing Empire and start tipping information to the two parties in the way that would be most destructive to the both of them. Secure the farms and fishing ports around Shanghai. Start replacing Opium as the drug of choice in the drug dens with the vastly less destructive Marijuana. Start welcoming foreigners with military experience into the Chinese Revolutionary Party with a citizenship for service deal.

[X] Zhang Zuolin
-[X] Local empowerment: The turn of events was unforeseen nor desired, but at the very least Zhang faction can use the accumulated wealth to build up direct control areas with industries and commerce. Start selling industrial products to everyone willing to deal except the Japanese. Expand Xueliang's command and control over the army for reformation, allowing disloyal to be honorably discharged, in order to affirm grip and increase effectiveness.
