Invasion of Outer Mongolia & First Anhui/Zhili War 🎙️ Fall and Rise of China Podcast Episode 98

In this Kings and Generals Age of Conquest: the Fall and Rise of China Series episode we discuss the Invasion of Outer Mongolia & First Anhui/Zhili War. In the aftermath of Yuan Shikai's death, China plunged into political chaos. Duan Qirui, having regained power, faced opposition from warlords and factions vying for control. Amidst this turmoil, the Qing Dynasty was briefly restored by Zhang Xun, who proclaimed Emperor Puyi's return to the throne, prompting Duan to seek support from the military. As the situation escalated, Outer Mongolia declared independence, capitalizing on the chaos in China. Mongolian nobles sought Russian support, leading to a complex interplay of alliances and conflicts. The rise of the White Russian movement, backed by Japan, further complicated matters, as they aimed to unify Mongolian territories. Duan, aiming to consolidate power, formed the Northwestern Frontier Army, which invaded Mongolia under the pretext of defending against Soviet encroachment. The Chinese forces occupied the capital, Urga, imposing harsh conditions on the Mongolian government, which sparked resistance among the Mongolian populace. As Duan's authority waned, rival factions, particularly the Anfu and Zhili clicks, emerged, leading to the First Anhui-Zhili War. The Zhili click, under Zhang Zuolin, ultimately defeated Duan's forces, marking a significant shift in power dynamics. Zhang Zuolin, once a mere warlord, now stood at a crossroads, contemplating whether to return to his northeastern stronghold or seize the opportunity to influence the broader political landscape of China. The struggle for control continued, leaving the future of the nation uncertain.
