The Rise and Fall of the Yunnan Clique
After the death of Yun Shirkai in June 1916, every military governor for themselves and the Bayon government devolved into a number of factions that Western history books refer to as cliques. Taia had formed what was known as the Yunnan clique, the Dien Shi. Tangqi Yao took his army into Guijo and seized control there and was made the military governor. He later went on to line up on Sun Yatsan's side in the 1917-1922 constitution protection movement. This period made it to more than a few past CHP episodes.
