Articles of Favourable Treatment of the Great Qing Emperor after His Abdication

In November of that same year, the Qing Prime Minister Yuan Shikai led the Beiyang Army to defeat the uprising in Hanyang.

On February 2, Duan and eight other generals issued the "Second Telegram Requesting a Republic", claiming that: I will lead the whole army into Beijing to explain things.

The Beijing government, controlled by Feng, issued the "Amendment of Preferential Treatment Conditions," after which Puyi was stripped of the title of emperor.

Feng, the latest of the warlords to take Beijing, was seeking legitimacy and decided that abolishing the unpopular Articles of Favorable Settlement was an easy way to win the crowd's approval.

Feng unilaterally revised the "Articles of Favourable Treatment" on November 5, 1924, abolishing Puyi's imperial title and privileges and reducing him to a private citizen of the Republic of China.
