Write a realistic, plausible alternate history scenario in the form of a history book chapter completely set in the world of the alternate history secenario with absolutely no references to real life, OTL or that this is even an alternate history timeline at all, in which when the Beiyang Government ruling over the sixteen provinces of Han excluding the Cantonese-dominated Guangdong and Guangxi ever since the 1911-1912 Xinhai Revolution that toppled the Qing Empire becomes the short-lived Empire and China created by and ruled by former top dog in the Qing military turned rising star in the Beiyang Government and eventually first President of the first Republic of China the Beiyang Government ruled from 1912-1915, then from 1916-1928 after the dissolution of the Empire of China, Yuan Shikai as its first Emperor from 1915 until sometime before Yuan's death in 1916, doesn't have Yuan Shikai become Emperor of Han China via the formation of the Empire of China but instead the descendants of the reigning Ming imperial family, the Imperial House of Zhu, are enthroned as the reigning imperial family of the Empire of China upon its formation due to the Xinhai Revolution itself initially starting out as a movement to restore the Ming as the government of a post-Qing Han China, exemplified in the slogan "Overthrow Qing and restore Ming", the influence of the Triads who started off as a Ming restorationist group, and the influence of the  rural secret society and folk religious sect in Northern Han China's Henan, Shandong and Hebei provinces with an ideology of Militant self-defense and tax resistance, Heterodox traditional Chinese folk religion, Ming millenarian monarchism and Ming restorationism, with the rule of the Ming dynasty representing an idealized time in Chinese history, widely believed that a Ming restoration in Han China would result in a "reign of happiness and justice for all" under a "good sovereign, the Yellow Sand Society, which had launched the Xinhai Revolution against the Qing along with the Tongmenghui lead by Dr. Sun Yat-Sen,along with the overwhelming desires of the Chinese people for the return of the Ming dynasty as the government of China after the fall of the Qing, which results in the Beiyang Government faction that was also a Chinese bandit clique/warlord state/Chinese military junta of the Anhui Clique then lead by Duan Qirui, the Anhui Clique's political wing, the political organization in Beiyang Government-ruled China that was a collective of senators, representatives and government bureaucrats who had their own party roles and positions which mirrored that of the Beiyang Government, whose official goal was to generate public policy, both foreign and internal but also had diplomacy with Imperial Japan, but with the knowledge that Japan did not have the best interests in mind, the Anfu Club, the Anhui Clique's financial wing that was a powerful interest group of politicians, bureaucrats, technocrats, businessmen, engineers, and labour unionists in Beiyang Government-ruled China, the New Communications Clique, in a reluctant alliance with the Triads and collaborative elements of the Yellow Sand Society, to have the descendants of the Imperial House of Zhu enthroned as the reigning Chinese imperial family when the Empire of China is proclaimed on 12 December 1915, preventing Shikai from making himself Emperor of Han China. The Beiyang Government's rule over the First Republic of China from 1912-1915 is then portrayed to the Chinese public as a regency period for stabilization and growth of China after the fall of the Qing for the restoration of the Ming through the Zhu descendants becoming the Empire of China's reigning imperial family.
