Tang Jiyao (born 1881, Huize (now in Jinzhong), Yunnan, China—died May 23, 1927, Kunming) was the military governor of China’s Yunnan province from 1913 to 1927. In 1915, Tang provided crucial military support to the rebels opposing Yuan Shikai’s reestablishment of the monarchy. Thereafter he remained a somewhat lukewarm supporter of Sun Yat-sen. After Sun’s death in 1925, Tang made an abortive attempt at the leadership of the national government. By that time, however, the corruption of his regime had led to the erosion of his power in Yunnan.
