Anti-Fengtian War (nov 22, 1925 – apr 15, 1926)

Description:

The end result of the Second Zhili-Fengtian War had led to the creation of a provisional executive government in Beijing in November 1924, where an informal triumvirate formed by Fengtian's Zhang Zuolin, the Guominjun's Feng Yuxiang and the Anhui clique's Duan Qirui had ruled. As Zhang was the strongest of the three leaders, controlled the wealthy northeastern provinces and backed by Japan, Feng's smaller army controlled the poorer northwest with Soviet support, and Duan's position as head of state was merely as a figurehead, the power sharing arrangement between them was destined to fail.
October 1925, Guo Songling, a division commander of the Fengtian clique, defected to Feng's Guominjun clique, and ignite gunpowder barrel in beiyang government, the Anti-Fengtian War break out, and gave the opportunity for later Northern Expedition.
