Hadn't there been rebellions in the past though, attempting to reinstate the Ming?

A governor or general sympathetic to the cause, perhaps? Can't think of anyone like that who'd support a full-fledged constitutional (executive) monarchy.

Even if establishing a new dynasty somewhere is succesful, there's still the warlords and Tongmenghui to deal with. Would they be more interested in gaining international support by taking down Beijing, or putting down the revolutionaries in Nanjing/Guangzhou?
