The enthronement of the descendants of the Imperial House of Zhu as the restored Empire of China's reigning imperial family instead of Yuan Shikai's descendants is due to the influence of  the Ming restorationist romanticist millerian, adhering to Militant self-defense and tax resistance, heterodox traditional Chinese folk religion in addition to Ming restorationist romanticist monarchism, rural secret society and folk religious sect based in Northern Han China's provinces of Henan, Shandong, Hebei, the Yellow Sand Society, [the Yellow Sand Society], the renmants of the the syncretic religious and political movement which forecasts the imminent advent of the "King of Light", i.e., the future Buddha Maitreya, along with a hybrid movement of Buddhism and Manichaeism that emphasised Maitreya teachings and strict vegetarianism; its permission for men and women to interact freely was considered socially shocking appealing to many Han Chinese who found solace in the worship of the mother goddess in Chinese religion and mythology, also worshipped in neighbouring Asian countries, and attested from ancient times, Queen Mother of the West, which had helped the founding ruler of the Ming dynasty and thus the Ming dynasty's first royal imperial monarch, Zhu Yuanzhang, [Yuanzhang] having the combined regal and era name of Hongwu to conquer much of China from around 1352-1371 but was later suppressed by the members of the Imperial House of Zhu ruling over the Ming dynasty as Emperors of Han China respectively over the centuries, the White Lotus Sect,and the White Lotus' daughter organization, the Chinese fraternal organization and historically a secretive folk religious sect founded to resist the rule of the Qing over the eighteen provinces of Han, with goals of Ming restorationism, which later became a massive crime syndicate in both East Asia and the world after the 1911-1912 Xinhai Revolution that toppled the Qing the post-1761 Heaven and Earth Society, [the Heaven and Earth Society] better known as the Triads, forming a compromise with the remnants and descendants of the leaders of the Beiyang Government faction/Chinese military junta/Chinese warlord clique of the Anhui Clique, [the Anhui Clique's remnants and descendants] the remnants and descendants of the leaders of the Anhui Clique's political wing,  [the Anhui Clique's political wing] the political organization in Beiyang Government-ruled Han 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, with its official goal being to generate public policy, both foreign and internal, with their well-known foreign policies was the club's diplomacy with Japan, overall, the club's policy to Japan was largely friendly, but with the knowledge that Japan did not have the best interests of both China and the Beiyang Government in mind, not having an official ideology but frequently making use of socialist rhetoric and watered down policies, such as the passing of progressive laws making Sunday a holiday, creating safety regulations for factories and compulsory pensions for workers, [the Anhui Clique's political wing] the Anfu Club, [the remnants and descendants of the Anfu Club] the remnants and descendants of the leaders of the Anhui Clique's financial wing, [the Anhui Clique's financial wing] the powerful interest group of politicians, bureaucrats, technocrats, businessmen, engineers, and labour unionists in the Beiyang Government, running on the Beiyang Government's National Assembly on a platform of modernization, training programs and better working conditions for its rail workers, even supporting their strikes against local warlords, [the Anhui Clique's financial wing] the Communications Clique, along with the remnants and descendants of the leaders of the constitionalist, statist, Han monarchist, Han nationalist, Chinese nationalist, ultranationalist and militarist, having a policy of nationalism with strong central government, liberty through the rule of law, and peaceful foreign policy of the Research Clique, after the latter [the descendants and remnants of the Anhui Clique, Anfu Club, the Communications Clique and the Research Clique] seized control of Han China with the help of the CCP's parent party, the Han Chinese nationalist, Han Chinese imperialist and Han Chinese expansionist, adhering to Sun Yat-sen's three principles of the people Young China Party, which [the YCP] had [the YCP] been [the YCP] formed in Paris, France in 1925 and [the YCP] was named after the Ottoman's infamous Young Turks,  and [the YCP] had [the YCP] followed Nationalist China and the Kuomingtang into exile on Taiwan and the Pengu Islands after Nationalist China lost the Chinese Civil War but [the YCP] returned to the China region after the fall of the PRC in mainland China and [[the descendants and remnants of the Anhui Clique, Anfu Club, the Communications Clique and the Research Clique after seizing control of Han China with the help of the YCP] restoring the Beiyang Government as the Empire of China as the government of post-PRC Han China with the Triads promising to abandon crime and instead return to their pre-crime duties and the Yellow Sand Society and White Lotus Sect remnants becoming something akin to the state churches of Protestant Europe/
