Tang Jiyao (simplified Chinese: 唐继尧; traditional Chinese: 唐繼堯; pinyin: Táng Jìyáo; Wade–Giles: T'ang Chi-yao) (August 14, 1883 – May 23, 1927) was a Chinese general and warlord of Yunnan during the Warlord Era of early Republican China. He was military governor of Yunnan from 1913-1927.
Tang was born in Huize county in 1883 in what is Qujing, Yunnan province. He passed the Imperial examination in 1903, and was selected by the Qing government to study military theory at the Tokyo Shimbu Gakko in Japan the following year. While in Japan, he met Sun Yat-sen, and became a member of the Tongmenghui revolutionary society dedicated to overthrowing the monarchy. In 1907, he continued on to the Imperial Japanese Army Academy. Returning to Yunnan in 1909, he served in a number of military posts in the New Army. In 1911, under the command of General Cai E, he participated in the Wuchang Uprising, which marked the start of the Xinhai Revolution which eventually toppled the Qing dynasty.
