The New Armies (Traditional Chinese: 新軍, Simplified Chinese: 新军; Pinyin: Xīnjūn, Manchu: Ice cooha) were the modernized Qing armies, trained and equipped according to Western standards. The first of the new armies was founded in 1895, following Japan's victory in the First Sino-Japanese War.
On December 8, 1895, Empress Dowager Cixi appointed Yuan Shikai the commander of the 4,000 men who formed the basis of the first New Army. Further expanded to 7,000, this New Army became the most formidable of the three army groups stationed near Beijing and proved effective against the Boxers in Shandong province. Yuan showed his loyalty to the Qing court, albeit little more than symbolically, by committing a detachment to relieve Beijing from foreign hands.
The New Army was gradually expanded and upgraded in the following years. Yuan became increasingly disrespectful of the dynasty and only loyal to the party from which he benefited; his defection to Cixi against Guangxu Emperor was a major blow to the Hundred Days Reform. After 1900, Yuan's troops were the only militia that the Qing court could rely on amidst revolutionary uprisings throughout China.

let them think that they are better,they will pass as
time has shown,
we're gonna stick around,
long enough to keep them down,
but I can't do this on my own.
only happy when you play the game,
but good at losing all the time,
I'm gonna win this case,
cause I'm a bigger frame,
but I can't do this on my own
((chorus))
this new army will never fall,
this is nothing more than a wake-up call
they promise you a view, just reach the top
slipping down each time you climb,
looking for a face,
something you can replace,
leaving everything behind.
((chorus))
this new army will never fall,
this is nothing more than a wake-up call
so let me hear you if you're with me,
cause I can't do this on my own,
let me hear you if you're with me,
cause I can't do this on my own,
this new army will never fall,
