Secretary of State: On May 3, the third year of the Republic of China (1914), Yuan Shikai changed the State Council to the Political Affairs Hall, and the Premier became the Secretary of State. The government hall is located in the Presidential Palace and becomes the office of the Presidential Palace. Xu Shichang was appointed Secretary of State. On May 8, 1916, Yuan Shikai was forced to change the government hall to the State Council due to the failure of the imperial system. The name of Secretary of State was abolished after Yuan Shikai's death in June.

Commander of Military Studies of the Admiralty: In the Chinese army, there is no difference between commander and commander, but commander is the official title. The military commanders of armies, arms, armed police forces, large military regions, provincial military districts, military subdivisions, garrison areas, garrison areas, naval fleets, military district air forces, group armies, and bases are called commanders. The armies of other countries do not have the name of commander, and they are generally called commanders.

Commander is the normative title; Commander is colloquial and non-standardized, especially when writing or writing a book, "commander" should not be used. But both terms refer to the supreme military commander of a certain unit.

Town Guard Envoy: The temporary military rank of the Beiyang Government of China was set up in a certain important place in the province, and the functions and powers were similar to those of the former Qing Dynasty General Army (there were many town guard envoys who were relocated from the original General Army), which was equivalent to today's provincial military division commander, and its official office was called the Town Guard Embassy. The town guards were all appointed by the Central War Department, and were often assigned by active division and brigade commanders (lieutenant and major generals), and the source of the establishment was the "Interim Regulations on the Guardian Envoys" implemented on December 19, 1913. If it is located in a province with a military governor, it is the military establishment under the jurisdiction of the military governor, and is subject to the control of the military and political chief; If there is no military governor in the province, the official or agency is in principle directly under the central authority. The town guards were generally set up in the frontier and important large cities, such as the Longdong town guards and the Shanghai town guards.

Later generations mostly classified the town guards of this period as one of the Beiyang warlords. It was not until the late 1920s, with the symbolic unification of China by the Nationalist Government, that the establishment of the rank of town guard envoy was abolished one after another.

Jiangwutang: An educational institution for training army officers in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. At the end of the 19th century ~ the beginning of the 20th century, the Qing government organized and trained the new army and set up military academies throughout the country. In 1906, Yuan Shikai, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, founded the Beiyang Army Lecture Hall in Hanjiashu, Tianjin, with a quota of 180 students, which is a place for the current soldiers to study martial arts. Later, the governors of various localities were approved and successively established army lecture halls in Nanyang (located in Nanjing), Jiangxi, Yunnan, the three eastern provinces, Hunan, and Guangdong. It continued after the Xinhai Revolution in 1911 and ceased operation in 1928. The organization and school system of the lecture hall vary from place to place. Generally, there is a general office, supervision (in charge of education), and promotion (in charge of personnel). The Yunnan Army Lecture Hall and the Beiyang Army Lecture Hall have a greater influence. The military classes of the lecture hall are divided into disciplines and technical subjects.
