Yen sought to undertake reforms to modernize Shanxi, feeling as if only economic development could prevent the collapse of the province. Yen was able to lead his province through the tumult of the Warlord Era, the Central Plains War, The Second Sino-Japanese War, and the Chinese Civil War only resigning in 1949.
