Loyal or not, if one of them were to decide that it was finished as a dynasty, it is possible for a march on the city.

Really, if the emperor does not abdicate, and something were to happen to the imperial family instead, a march by one of these generals would happen without question.

Their reason for going over to the new state otl was that the emperor had abdicated to them, really. Had that been different...

No way Yuan does that. His attempt to undo the republic was all about him getting power - and he had no support for it.

If memory serves, warlords talked about such things otl - but they did not, and would not, do it. It would mean a loss of power, remember.

Yup.
