Wuwei Troop
The Wuwei Troop () or Guards Army was the first modern army of the Qing Dynasty. Made up of infantry, cavalry and artillery it was formed in May or June 1899 and trained by western military advisers. The guard took responsibility for the security of Peking (now Beijing) and the Forbidden City, with Ronglu as its supreme commander. This move was an attempt by the Qing court to create a western-style army equipped with modern weaponry following China's defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War. Four out of the five divisions of the Wuwei Troop were disbanded after two years due to attrition caused by the Boxer Uprising.
== Formation ==
Empress Dowager Cixi held supreme power at the Imperial Court after she had the Guangxu Emperor placed under house arrest. Her cousin Ronglu, who controlled the Grand Council and the Board of War, subsequently received orders to recruit a 90,000 man army drawn from various units under the control of Nie Shicheng, Song Qing, Dong Fuxiang and Yuan Shikai.
