He is also the supreme leader of the Beiyang government and the leader of the Beiyang Army. Yuan Shikai failed in the imperial examination in his early years, abandoned literature and joined the Huai Army. In 1882, he followed Wu Changqing to North Korea. In 1884, he led the Qing army to put down the Jiashen coup in North Korea. In 1895, he trained the "New Army" in Xiaozhan, Tianjin with the rank of Taoist priest. He participated in the reform group to strengthen the society and assisted in the Westernization Movement and the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty. However, the reformers accused him of betrayal, which led to the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898. After the Wuchang Uprising, Yuan used the Beiyang Army to serve as the Prime Minister of the Qing Cabinet, negotiated peace with the Revolutionary Party north and south, and forced Sun Yat-sen to abdicate on the condition of forcing the Qing Emperor to abdicate. He was elected as the interim president of the Republic of China and established the Beiyang Government. In 1913, the civil war was triggered by the Song Jiaoren case and the large amount of loans taken for the aftermath. After suppressing the second revolution led by Sun Yat-sen, the National Assembly was dissolved and the "Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China" was promulgated to replace the "Provisional Constitution". During the preparations for the restoration of the monarchy in 1915, the country accepted Japan's "Twenty-One Articles" and announced in December of the same year that the following year would be changed to the first year of Hongxian.

However, there are also views that he was not the culprit of the failure of the reform or the assassination of Song Jiaoren, and affirmed his contribution to China's modernization.
