Note 57 — XV TZŬ HSI RESUMES THE REGENCY (1898)
Reading edition
It is interesting to note that this Manchu Prince (Tsai Ch’u) was released from prison by the present Regent, the Emperor’s brother, and was appointed to the command of one of the Manchu Banner Corps on the same day, in January 1909, that Yüan Shih-k’ai was dismissed from the viceroyalty of Chihli. The Emperor’s party, as opposed to the Yehonala Clan, heartily approved of his reinstatement.
