The so-called warlords refer to soldiers or military groups with their own factions backed by force. However, it is up to the central government to recognize it in order to maintain and expand its power and ignore the laws of state order. The etymology comes from the book Biography of Guo Qian in the old Tang Dynasty, including famous warlords in the late Han Dynasty, northern warlords, direct warlords and Anhui warlords. The word "warlord" in the modern sense was translated by Liang Qichao from Japan. One of the warlord forces in the Republic of China was composed of the main generals of the "Beiyang New Army" after Yuan Shikai took power. After Yuan's death, no one had enough ability to command the whole Beiyang army and political power, and each * * * parted ways with the separatist forces in the provinces and established a sphere 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 the Beijing government in Beiyang warlord period 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.
