In the late Qing Dynasty, northern coastal cities such as Liaoning, Hebei and Shandong were collectively called Beiyang.
1895, the Qing government appointed Yuan Shikai to train a new army at Tianjin Railway Station under the jurisdiction of Beiyang Minister, and began to piece together teams to attract followers. By 1905, Yuan Shikai, governor of Zhili and minister of Beiyang, established six towns of Beiyang New Army, forming the embryonic form of Beiyang regime.
Later, he used his power to expand his power and widely planted his henchmen. 19 12 after yuan Shikai stole the fruits of the victory of the revolution of 1911, he established the Beiyang warlord government in Beijing and began the rule of Beiyang warlords. This is one of the darkest periods in modern China.
Northern Warlords (19 12- 1927)
Beiyang warlord, one of the warlords in the Republic of China, is composed of the main generals of Beiyang New Army after Yuan Shikai took power. After Yuan Shikai's death, no one had enough ability to command the whole Beiyang army and regime. The leaders parted ways with the separatist regimes in the provinces and established spheres of influence with the army as the main force in the provinces. Nominally, it is still under the control of the Beijing government.
However, the Beijing regime was actually controlled by warlords in different periods, so in the period of Beiyang warlords, the Beijing government was also called Beiyang warlord government (referred to as Beiyang government). Historically, the warlords north of Wusongkou of the Yangtze River were also called Beiyang warlords.
