In January 1887, the Royal Naval School of the Manchu Qing Government, the Admiralty Inner School, was officially established, which was also known as the Kunming Lake Water Division School because it was located near the Kunming Lake of the Royal Forbidden Garden.
The school is affiliated to the Shenji Battalion, with 1 general office, 1 transfer, 3 foreign language teachers, and 2 Chinese teachers. Because the main purpose is to train naval officers, there is only a driving major, and the semester is 5 years, and the subjects include "Western calculation, astronomy, and driving".
Students were selected from the Jianrui Camp and the Outer Firearms Camp composed of eight flags, and han Chinese were strictly prohibited from enrolling, with the first admission of 40 people.
In addition to normal study, students are also tasked with driving steamships to tow the imperial ships. Due to the late establishment of the Kunming Lake Marine Division School, only a group of students were trained (the school was abolished in 1895 after the Sino-Japanese War), and this only group of students graduated when the Chinese Navy was fragmented after the Sino-Japanese War, most of the students were transferred out of the Navy through various channels, and only 3 people remained in the first line of the Navy, and these 3 people served as the captains and deputy captains of the two capital ships of the Navy when the Qing court rebuilt the Beiyang Naval Division.
