Extended data:
Tang joined the League in his early years, participated in the Xinhai Uprising in Yunnan, defended his country and made great contributions to the bourgeois revolution. However, after the war to defend the country, Tang's ambition expanded and he degenerated into a feudal warlord.
Taking advantage of the prestige of defending the country and taking Yunnan as the base, he began his career as a warlord who expanded his territory and exercised military rule over the people. When the war to defend our country had just ended, military operations had actually stopped, and Tang expanded the third army to the eighth army.
In the name of the Northern Expedition, it expanded to Sichuan in an attempt to occupy Yunnan and Guizhou, control Sichuan and win the Central Plains. 19 17, Sun Yat-sen launched a movement to protect the country against the rule of the northern warlords and established a military government to protect the country in Guangzhou.
At this time, Tang belonged to Dian, and Lu Rongting belonged to Gui. On the surface, it participates in protecting the law and secretly expands. Instead of supporting Sun Yat-sen to protect the military government, he openly demolished and boycotted it, which made Sun Yat-sen very disappointed and forced him to resign as the marshal of the military government.
Charged reprimanding the warlords of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi is still ignorant, as if ignoring the fundamental law, and caring about the great disaster of our country is no better than the dispute between military personnel, and the north and the south are birds of a feather. Provinces that claim to protect the law are also unwilling to bow to the law and public opinion.
Since then, the Tang Dynasty has gone against the rules in Yunnan, claiming hegemony, going abroad for years, and constantly expanding its army, which has brought profound disasters to the people of Yunnan.
The people of Yunnan are very dissatisfied with the rule of warlord Tang. When Tang was preparing to go to Sichuan in 19 17, all walks of life in Yunnan signed a letter against Tang's departure.
19 19 During the May 4th Movement, the people of Yunnan launched an anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle, which also dealt a heavy blow to the warlord's rule in Yunnan. Yunnan students shouted slogans such as overthrowing the warlords of the great powers and abolishing the unequal treaties.
