POD: Song Jiaoren escapes Death, Take 2

1915-1918: Yuan Shikai (Progressive) [1]
1918-1921: Zhao Bingjun (Progressive) [2]
1921-1927: Li Yuanhong (Progressive) [3]
1927-1929: Xu Shichang (Progressive)
1929: The Coup of the Three Zhangs (Conservative) [4]

[1] Song Jiaoren escapes death, and become Prime Minister of China, leading to a power struggle between the presidential palace and the state council (府院之爭). Instead of proclaiming himself emperor, Liang Qichao, the pro-Yuan Progressive Party leader convinces Yuan to make a gamble - by introducing direct election to the presidency in the new constitution. Capitalizing on public mood against political infighting and Song, Yuan wins a landslide victory in the election of 1915. Nevertheless, Yuan dies three years later and is succeeded by Vice President Zhao Bingjun.
[2] Zhao, a former security official and policeman of the Qing dynasty, succeeded Yuan after his death in 1918. Zhao was by no means a smooth political operator, and was quickly sidelined by his cabinet and the Premier Liang Shiyi, a powerful businessman and the leader of the so-called Communications Clique with Peking. Zhao was killed during a hunting accident in Shandong in June; many believed that he was actually assassinated on the orders of Liang
[3] Once succeeding President Zhao, President Li tries to restore presidential authority and civil liberties in the Yuan era. Attempting to carry out social reforms, President Li sacks Liang Shiyi, but Liang refuses to resign, instead convinced General Zhang Xueliang to stage a coup. Getting the key support of General Wu Peifu, the coup was defeated after Wu mobilized troops into Peking. Wu Peifu refuses to become prime minister, instead convincing President Li to appoint Liang Qichao. With the aid of Adolph Joffe, Wu founds the Beiyang Military Academy, becoming its founding director. Li refuses to run for reelection in 1927, and is succeeded by Xu Shicang, a member of the Old Guard clique in Peiping. While the Progressive Party moves closer to the Soviet Union, KMT leaders like Song Jiaoren and Wang Jingwei begin to get closer with the Takashi Hara government in Tokyo.
[4] After Xu's death,The Conservative Party of Zhang Jinghui stages a coup, and the capital is occupied by Zhang Zuolin's Northern Army and placed under military rule. However, they are quickly ousted by the pro-KMT general Li Zongren, who arrests Zhang Jinghui and dislodges the Fengtian Army. Zhang Zuolin and his son Zhang Xueliang flee to Japan, and the KMT leader Sun Zhongshan is made Prime Minister, with ____________ as president.

POD: Liao Zhongkai cheats death, 1925.

(1925 - 1929) Liao Zhongkai (Guomindang - Leftist Faction)
(1929 - 1936) Wang Jingwei (Guomingdang - Leftist Faction) [1]


[1]Seizing power after Liao's sudden death (the circumstances of which were quite mysterious) in May of 1929, Wang continued his policies of cordial relations with the Soviet Union and cooperation with the CCP (China's relationship with the SU would have interesting consequences during WWII), despite widespread opposition from the rightist faction within the GMD.

Beijing fell to joint GMD-GMC forces in early 1932, and the National government was moved there. Wang was assassinated in Shenyang (Mukden) in 1936 while negotiating with the Japanese sponsored Manchurian warlord Zhang Zuolin, either by the Manchurians, the Japanese, or rightist elements within the GMD itself (this is the commonly accepted theory today).

Manchuria was now firmly in the Japanese sphere, setting the stage for the Second Sino-Japanese War, which China was woefully unprepared for...
