Many dynasties flashed like shooting stars, many of them were brilliant and no longer existed, so did people, in China's modern history, Yuan Shikai was such a figure, when the Qing Dynasty closed the country, and then slowly weakened, and after Cixi's profligacy, the great reckoning was really over, after the complete collapse of the Qing Dynasty, the highest power at that time was Yuan Shikai, at that time everyone hated the imperial system, but Yuan Shikai still wanted to be the emperor himself, in fact, Yuan Shikai was a very powerful person, there was money in the family, it was a rich second generation, Both literary and martial arts, and can fight, very shrewd and capable, it is precisely because he will fight, he slowly mastered the military power, and later he can have so many wives, the military power is only an opportunity for him, the main reason is because he prefers women.
Yuan Shikai had a wife, the historical record is Yu Shi, Yuan Shikai married her when she was 17 years old, she was the daughter of a rich man, the family is very rich, can help Yuan Shikai, but this Yu Shi has not read books, illiterate, does not understand etiquette, is a person who is not too on the table, "can not go to the hall", so for Yuan Shikai, take her out without face, she can not afford the title of "first lady", fortunately, she gave birth to a son to Yuan Shikai, which saved her status in the main room. In fact, this Yu shi, the author thinks that she is a wise and foolish figure, at that time Yuan Shikai insisted on going his own way, he wanted to be the emperor, so many people called Yu Shi an empress, then Yu Shi would say "don't dare to be, don't dare to be", she is not shrewd, but she is by no means a fool.
Then there is the great aunt, this great aunt is the famous prostitute Shen Shi in Suzhou, she is very beautiful, and the timing of her appearance is very good, she thinks that Yuan Shikai will become an extraordinary person, she has been encouraging him when Yuan Shikai was at a low point, and even funded him to take the meritorious name, she is really wise and wise, Yuan Shikai is very grateful to her, and also appreciates her, let her be his own aunt, and outside are called her wife, she is knowledgeable, intelligent and capable, so Yuan Shikai has always let her come to the housekeeper, and even let his children call her mother. But she did not have her own children, although there was a successor Yuan Kewen, but when the family was finally scattered, what happened to her, whether there was anyone to take care of it is unknown.
When Yuan Shikai led the army to fight in Korea, he also gained three aunts, Yuan Shikai fought in Korea heroically, very brave, and received a lot of girls' likes, and the third aunt TaiJin, born particularly noble, is a relative of the imperial family, is the sister of the princess, Yuan Shikai looks at her beautiful, wants to marry her, she also likes Yuan Shikai, at that time Yuan Shikai concealed some situations, so that the Jin family thought that Yuan Shikai only had a wife, did not expect that Yuan Shikai had a wife yu shi, and a housekeeper's aunt, This psychological gap made her feel very unhappy, but what happened later made her more depressed, she had two dowries at that time, Li and Wu, were also looked at by Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai also determined the position according to the age of the three people, Li Shi was the second aunt, Jin was the third aunt, Wu was the fourth aunt, the Jin clan was of course very uncomfortable, thinking that she was the only wife of Yuan Shikai, even if it was not, even her own rank was higher than her own, more sullen and unhappy, However, she still gave birth to five children for Yuan Shikai, of which the second son, Yuan Kewen, is very famous, and there is still a past history between Yuan Kewen and Yuan Shikai's sixth aunt. In fact, the Kim clan is very pitiful, she was beaten by the great aunt Tai Shen, but because the great aunt was too infertile, Yuan Shikai passed Yuan Kewen to her, the Kim family was even more hateful, and the Kim family missed the parents of the DPRK very much, her mother died because she missed her too much, and soon her father died.
The fifth aunt Yang clan is Yuan Shikai's most beloved aunt in the later period, it can be said that she is very similar to a woman like Wang Xifeng, first of all, because she is beautiful, and she is very good at doing things, decisive and has a brain, can speak the Tao, and the eldest aunt is a type of woman, Yuan Shikai appreciates her, pampers her, so let her take care of her own life, but also let her housekeeper, the sixth aunt, the seventh aunt, the eighth aunt, and the ninth aunt have to listen to her control.
Then everyone knows more about the sixth aunt, her story is really very legendary, but also very sighing, the sixth aunt Taiye was the daughter of the rich when she was a child, her father was particularly rich, and she herself was also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, with good knowledge, her family was in business, but after all, there would be turmoil in that era, her father would eventually go bankrupt, she was no longer a rich lady, the brothers did not care about her, and they simply did not have the ability to manage, they were all stupid children, So Miss Ye could only be a young lady to live in the end, because she was beautiful, and she knew everything, especially temperamental, so she was liked by many people, and she could be said to be a prostitute at that time. At that time, Yuan Shikai sent his son Yuan Kewen to Nanjing to deal with some things, Yuan Kewen had long heard of Miss Ye's reputation, so after handling the task assigned to him by Yuan Shikai, he immediately ran to find Miss Ye, Miss Ye saw that Yuan Kewen was personable, talked extraordinary, fell in love with him at first sight, the two were happy with each other, and had a happy time, but soon after, Yuan Kewen was going to go back, the two were reluctant to give up, Yuan Kewen promised Miss Ye that she would definitely marry her, Miss Ye was very touched, and gave him her own photo. Then when Yuan Kewen saw his father, the photo accidentally fell out, at that time, the elders must make a decision for life, Yuan Kewen was very afraid, and he was busy saying that the woman in this photo was the sixth aunt he found for Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai was very happy, Yuan Kewen coaxed Ye to return to Beijing and marry himself, Miss Ye thought that she finally did not have to live the day of being bullied, but she did not expect that the good person That Miss Ye thought was actually Yuan Shikai, who was nearly half a hundred years old, but it was sad and lamentable.
Seventh aunt is also from Henan, it is said that seventh aunt and family gardener flirted with each other and was beaten to death by Yuan Shikai, some people say that she fell ill and died, always seventh aunt died too early. The eighth aunt was a subordinate of Yuan Shikai in order to please the young lady he gave him, and when Yuan Shikai was in his fifties, he married the ninth aunt, who was the little maid of the fifth aunt at that time, and was just adopted by Yuan Shikai as his ninth aunt when he became an adult.
This is Yuan Shikai's wife and nine concubines, after Yuan Shikai fell, the fate of these women can be imagined, it is really sad and lamentable.
