Timeline

First Phase

Conflict over power-sharing in the new government led to the collapse of the Provisional Bai Recovery Administration.
A brief civil war (the Dongbei Incident) broke out as Pei Yun purged the communists, which retreated to the south.
Meanwhile, Fascist commanders fled and retreated to the west of the nation, outside of the influence of the Xiongjing Government. However, plenty faced resistance with communist uprisings or continued revolts.
Communists went into infighting after ideology splits between Shan Cungou and Huang Yusheng. Kanglapo supported the establishment of the People's Governorate led by Huang. Shan and his Socialist Republic pledged support to the Xiongjing Government.
Large-scale fighting ceased with a brokered deal between the Xiongjing government and some of the Fascist remnants, with the establishment of the Bai Federation. The weakened Central Government, however, has not much power beyond the capital, with administration at the provincial level delegated to local communes and military forces.

Second phase

Fighting broke out between the People's Governorate and Socialist People's Republic as the People's Governorate launching an offensive against the cliques under the Xiongjing government sphere of influence
Attempt by the Riqing Coastal Clique to coup the Xiongjing government was repelled due to lack of support and the Yi Kingdom intervention. However, this broke the trust between the Xiongjing Government and the other fascist remnants.
The Southern Bai Military Governorate intervened in the communist civil war on the side against the People's Governorate. War halted as Kanglapo threatened direct military intervention

Qiongzhu

Qiongzhu Republic

The Republic of Qiongzhu was a self-proclaimed independent entity that existed during the Warlord Era, from 1943 to 1964. Through its existence, it was parliamentary democracy having control over the Qiongzhu Islets. The republic was dissolved through the Siege of Qiongzhu, as the newly-established New Bai Empire forcibly annexed the islets in 1964.

With the collapse of the Fascist regime, and the Xiongjing Authority (Central Clique) being unable to exercise its authority beyond its immediate regions, the Republic was established on 1 May 1943. The republic managed to fend off numerous incursions by fascist remnants and repealed a communist uprising in 1944. The Republic was able to defend itself using the former fascists' military installations and military assistance from the Federal States and Cinasia.

However, with the rise of the New Bai Empire, a blockade was imposed on the island. Negotiations stalled as the government rejected to unify with the Empire unless it lifts the embargo. With the worsening economic situation during the Siege, the Republic eventually surrendered to the Empire on 4 January 1964. Most of the Republic leadership was executed for treason and martial law was imposed on the islands until 1985.

Benevolent Terror

The Benevolent Terror refers to the suppression of political dissidents during the Regency Era. Many who were arrested and/or purged during the period were labelled as "traitors" or "bandit spies" as Regent Yu Zeming assumed power over the newly reunified Bai Empire. Fearing resistance against his rule, many of those imprisoned were those who worked with the former administrations that existed during the Warlord Era, including the Central Clique and the Qiongzhu Republic.

The Terror began shortly as Yu Zeming ascended as Regent of the New Bai Empire. During the Coronation of his son, Yu had arranged for the assassinations of the warlords and generals who backed his rise to power. The crackdown continued with political dissidents, and Yu ordered the implementation of martial law in parts of the Empire still vying for independence or autonomy, notably Qiongzhu and Neilu.

Qiongzhu Special Administrative Area

The Qiongzhu Special Administrative Area was the official name for the Qiongzhu Islets during the martial law period from 1964 to 1985. Enacted by Regent Yu Zeming in response to the Qiong'ao Incident, the designation was dissolved in 1985 and its status as a province was reinstated soon after.

With the Qiongzhu Republic dissolved in the aftermath of the Qiongzhu Siege, there were widespread protests against the Imperial occupation. With the provisional authorities unable to deal with the unrest, Regent Yu personally enacted the Qiongzhu Martial Law with the ascent of the Yihuiting and the Gaofayuan. During the period locals know as the Benevolent Terror Terror, the military authorities cracked down on dissent and any pro-independence sentiments. On Bai itself, the government also cracked down on those demanding for martial law throughout the country to be lifted. In the 1980s, restrictions were gradually lifted, and with the signing the Order to lift martial law over the islets in 1985, the "Special Administrative Area" was dissolved
