Liang was opposed to that concept - the constitutional monarchy bit he started with was more being practical than anything. His later opposition to a monarchy adds to that.

Kang was a monarchist, mind. Even tried to put the Qing back in power in 1917. But not any other dynasty.

They would not do such a thing. Nor was Kang at all associated with Progressives, and Liang was not really one.

Progressives also did not exist as a faction until a few years into the republic. And China was most definitely not in favor of a monarchy at that point, not even close.

For the most part, the two did in fact support each other otl. Would not go more than that.
