辛亥革命爆发后，唐继尧借援黔之机控制了贵州军政大局，此后“黔附于滇”成为1920年之前滇、黔政治关系的主要特征。1920年之后，伴随南北政治形势的变化，滇川黔三省地方政治形势再次重组。伴随唐继尧统治的日益衰弱，滇、黔地方政治发生分化，袁祖铭对唐继尧的反对，是贵州第二代地方实力派对原有滇、黔政治关系的挑战；滇、黔地方关系新的变化情形日益明显，总体上表现出一种由此前的政治同盟关系向彼此猜忌并对立的关系发展。护国运动之前，滇、川关系就因滇军入川产生矛盾；护国运动后蔡锷督川时期，尚能维持滇、川关系的暂时平稳；蔡氏离职后，形成了滇黔联合控制四川但彼此又相互博弈，同时四川地方势力又不断反对滇黔的政治景象。在1920年代初期，滇黔势力逐渐退出四川，但四川仍然陷入纷争形态。总体上，自护法运动之后，长期交织的滇川黔三省政治逐步走向分解形态，以往密切的复杂影响关系逐渐减弱，开始出现由西南区域政治集团势力向省域势力发展的趋势。这一趋势的出现，也预示着南北对峙下的新的政治形态的逐步发展。南京国民政府成立后，滇川黔三省实力派向省域力量转变，不复“区域集团势力”之面相。
After the 1911 Revolution broke out，Tang Jiyao took advantage of the aid to Guizhou to control the overall military and political situation in Guizhou. Since then，“Guizhou is attached to Yunnan” has become the main feature of the political relationship between Yunnan and Guizhou before 1920. After 1920，with the changes in the political situation in the north and south of China，the local political situation in Yunnan，Sichuan and Guizhou provinces was reorganized again. With the weakening of Tang Jiyao's rule，the local politics in Yunnan and Guizhou are divided. Yuan Zuming's opposition to Tang Jiyao is a challenge to the original political relationship between Yunnan and Guizhou by the second generation of local power parties in Guizhou. The new changes in the local relationship between Yunnan and Guizhou are becoming more and more obvious. On the whole，it shows a development from the previous political alliance to the relationship of mutual suspicion and opposition. Before the National Protection Movement，the relationship between Yunnan and Sichuan had conflicts due to the entry of Yunnan troops into Sichuan. During the period of Cai E's supervision of Sichuan after the National Protection Movement，the relationship between Yunnan and Sichuan was still stable for the time being. After Cai E left office，a political scene was formed in which Yunnan and Guizhou jointly controlled Sichuan，however，they played games with each other. At the same time，Sichuan local forces constantly opposed Yunnan and Guizhou. In the early 1920s，Yunnan and Guizhou forces gradually withdrew from Sichuan，but Sichuan was still in the form of disputes. On the whole，since the Law Protection Movement，the politics of Yunnan，Sichuan and Guizhou provinces，which had been interwoven for a long time，have gradually moved towards a decomposition form. The close and complicated influenced relationship in the past has gradually weakened，and the trend of development from the “Southwest” regional political group to the provincial power has begun. The emergence of this trend also indicates the gradual development of a new political form under the North-South confrontation. After the Nanking National Government was established，the power faction in Yunnan，Sichuan and Guizhou provinces changed to provincial power and ceased to be a “regional group power”.
