Write a realistic, plausible alternate history scenario in the form of a history book chapter in the world of the alternate history scenario with absolutely no references fo real life, OTL or that this is even an alternate history timeline at all, in which the 1868 Meiji Restoration in the Tokugawa shogunate that lead to the Tokugawa shogunate's ruling family, the side branch of the Japanese imperial family, the supposedly Shinto-pantheon descended, Japanese Imperial House of Great Yamato/Minamoto dynasty, the Japanese samurai clan of the Tokugawa clan losing their power and the Imperial House of Great Yamato regaining its control over Japan, is instead a compromise between the Liberal reformers who support the Japanese Imperial family, modernization and development and the Conservative political and noble elites along with the samurai who support the Tokugawa and the shogunate in the Tokugawa shogunate, with the Tokugawa shoguns now acting in a role akin to the constitional royal monarchs of Europe and the Germanic Reichskanzlers combined, and the ruling members of the Imperial House of Great Yamato reigning over Japan as Emperors of Japan regaining the power they had lost to the various shogunates ruling over Japan over the centuries, now being both Japanese head of state and also heading the Japanese armed forces along with being able to select the prime minister from the winner of Japan's democratic, multi-party elections under secret ballot, with the Imperial House of Great Yamato-ruled unitary parliamentary constitutional Imperial Royal monarchy of the Great Japanese Empire formed by the Meiji Restoration instead being formally referred to as the Great Japanese Empire under the Tokugawa shogunate, and the samurai and daimyō of the shogunate being absorbed into the Great Japanese Empire's hereditary peerage, the Kazoku [magnificent lineage] instead of being abolished like in real life, although the industrial, economic and military development in Japan after the Meiji Restoration still occurs like in real life, with Japan still taking Taiwan and the Pengu Islands in 1898, the Korean peninsula in 1910, and Russia's Sahlakin and Kuril Islands in 1906 like in real life, although the absolute imperial royal dynastic imperial monarchy of the Ming dynasty and the Ming dynasty's reigning Imperial family, the Manchu/Jurchen-Han Chinese Imperial House of Zhu, are restored as the government of the eighteen provinces of the Han dynasty through the stratocratic [military] dominated Beiyang Government-ruled presidental parliamentary republic of the first Republic of China, immediately after the Xinhai Revolution launched against the Manchu-ruled and Manchu dominated Manchu Imperial House of Aisin-Gioro-ruled Great Qing Empire, as was the goal of the Xinhai Revolution, "Overthrow Qing and restore Ming" in an event comparable to this timeline's version of the Meiji Restoration, with Guangdong, Guangxi, Tibet, East Turkestan, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia and Yunnan remaining independent from both Manchuria and Han China after the restoration of the Ming as the government of China through the Beiyang Government-ruled first Republic of China after the Xinhai Revolution, although this timeline's version of Japan helps the Qing Imperial court, which had survived in Manchuria during and after the Xinhai Revolution, seize control of the Han Chinese warlord faction/bandit clique/military junta/faction of the Beiyang Government of the Fengtian Clique based in Manchuria after the Xinhai Revolution from the leader of the Fengtian Clique, the Han Chinese bandit turned bannerman in the Manchu military system and then joint warlord of Manchuria and leader of the Fengtian Clique, Zhang Zhuolin sometime after the Xinhai Revolution in exchange for Japanese protection [of both Manchuria and the Qing imperial court] with Zhang's son and heir to both leadership of the Fengtian Clique and warlord of Manchuria, Zhang Xueliang, being sent to the restored Ming dynasty after Manchuria becomes a Japanese protectorate. 
Due to the Beiyang Government being both Japanophilic and also being heavily manipulated by Japan like in real life, the restored Ming dynasty in Han China is a Japanese protectorate in all but name, although industrial, economic and railway along with educational development continues in Han China after the Xinhai Revolution and the subsequent restoration of Ming dynasty due to the republican factions of the organisation that lead the Xinhai Revolution against the Qing, the Tongmenghui, which later became the secret society/Revolutionary group of the Kuomingtang after the Xinhai Revolution being marginalised after the Xinhai Revolution and the top dog in the Qing army turned rising star in the Beiyang Government after the Xinhai Revolution, the Han Chinese Yuan Shikai, instead helping the restored Ming dynasty in Han China to get support and recognition, along with technical development and industrial aid from the West through his [Shikai's] connections in this timeline instead of [Shikai] becoming President of the Beiyang Government-ruled first Republic of China and then Emperor [Shikai] of Han China in 1915 like in real life with Sun Wen, the leader of the Tongmenghui and the Xinhai Revolution and then the Kuomingtang after the Xinhai Revolution, being marginalised after the Xinhai Revolution and the subsequent Restoration of the Ming dynasty as the government of Han China due to the goal of the Xinhai Revolution [restoration of the Ming as the government of Han China after the overthrow of the Qing] being fully realised in this timeline and the Beiyang Government viewing the Cantonese nationalist, Cantonese imperialist and Han expansionist and Han imperialist goals of the Kuomingtang with suspicion. 
The KMT-ruled Nationalist China is still formed in Nationalist China's stronghold of Guangdong and Guangxi sometime in 1914 like in OTL, but the partially Han Chinese side branch of the Imperial House of Great Yamato, the Japanese Han Chinese Royal House of Koxinga/Zheng dynasty-ruled combined rump state, satellite state and tributary kingdom of the Tungning Kingdom is restored as the government of Guangdong and Guangxi through Nationalist China under Japanese influence with the Royal House of Koxinga/Zheng dynasty subsequently being reabsorbed into the Imperial House of Great Yamato and Sun Wen being pushed aside in favor of Cheng Jiongming and other pro Cantonese nationalist, Cantonese independence and pro-buisness factions within Guangdong and Guangxi.
Sun Wen's prodigy protégé, Chiang Kai Shek, remains in the military of Nationalist China and never succeeds Wen as the leader of Nationalist China unlike real life. 
Wen's other protégé, Wang Jingwei on the other hand, rises through the ranks of the Beiyang Government due to Yuan Shikai's half Korean eldest son, Yuan Keding, being his sworn brother and also due to Jingwei's own political skills in this timeline. 
The Xinhai Revolution leading to the restoration of the Ming dynasty as the government of Han China and Nationalist China being contained to Guangdong and Guangxi and not attempting to reclaim the territory of the Great Qing Empire unlike real life leads to the continued survival of both Nationalist China and the Japanese Empire post 1949 and post 1947 respectively into the 21th century and beyond and the continued survival of the Beiyang Government post 1928 into the 21th century and beyond.
