What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
For Yuan Shikai, many people have the impression of "Yuan Datou" and the restoration of the imperial system, in fact, Yuan Shikai's origins were in Korea, and he had planned to turn Korea into China's Korean Province, but he did not succeed. Later, he became the de facto leader of North Korea, put the Queen of North Korea to sleep, and then returned home with three women.
At that time, Korea was a vassal state of China, the Korean Emperor was Li Xi but the actual power was in the hands of Empress Myeongseong, a woman who was not only beautiful but also quite courageous, thinking that if she wanted to reform, reform would inevitably sacrifice the interests of some people, so these people came together to oppose her, and even launched a mutiny plan to abolish her. Then she thought of her suzerain, China.
The Younger Brother naturally wanted to help when he had difficulties, and the Qing Dynasty sent Wu Changqing to bring troops into the Dynasty, and the 23-year-old Yuan Shikai was one of the leaders. After arriving in North Korea, he designed a "Hongmen banquet" to arrest the leader of the opposition, and in this case, Yuan Shikai began to behead and begin his peak life. Later, Wu Changqing returned to China because of an incident, and Then Yuan Shikai became the eldest of the group in Korea (the plenipotentiary representative of the Prime Minister of the Qing Dynasty in Korea to negotiate trade matters).
After a while, Yuan Shikai noticed that there was a group of Japanese supporting forces behind them who wanted to make trouble in Korea, and this group of people became more and more of a climate. So he suggested that the imperial court simply turn Korea into a province of China, saving the Japanese from worrying about it all day. But Li Hongzhang did not dare to do so for fear of offending the Japanese. Yuan Shikai got involved with this gang in North Korea, and later used some means to cause infighting on the other side, and then the killing that should be killed was driven away. This is the "Koshin Mutiny" in North Korea.
Since then, Yuan Shikai has become the "Taishang Emperor" of Korea, and the emperor and empress have to curry favor with him in order to sit firmly in jiangshan. Yuan Shikai put empress Dowager Myeongseong of Korea on the bed, and the two of them got hot, but things were a bit excessive, and later many people knew about this matter and gossiped. In order to act conveniently, the empress married her cousin to Yuan Shikai as a concubine, and from then on they could often be together in the name of visiting her cousin.
When Yuan Shikai returned to China, he also brought back the newly married concubines to the country, and also brought back the two concubines, and later put them in his harem together. Empress Myeongseong was insulted because she was unable to protect Korea because of the subsequent Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War, and continued to lead the anti-Japanese resistance after the Japanese occupied Korea.
