The fruits of victory in the Xinhai Revolution were eventually stolen by Yuan Shikai, and the results that led to this result were actually caused by Yuan Shikai's military strength being too strong. With the military strength of the revolutionary party at that time, it is estimated that there were two results in opposing Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army! First: He was suppressed by Yuan Shikai and died more people. Second: Fight guerrillas and kill Yuan Shikai. With the strength of the revolutionary party at that time, I saw that it was difficult to confront Yuan Shikai. If there is capital to compete with Yuan Shikai, otherwise it will not compromise with Yuan Shikai. After all, Yuan Shikai controlled the most elite army in China at that time, and its structure was created entirely according to the German army. Whether it is the military quality or military equipment of the Beiyang Army, it is absolutely first-class, and it is difficult for revolutionaries to compare with it. Therefore, Yuan Shikai, who controlled the powerful Beiyang army, could easily force the Qing Emperor to abdicate.
After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, the only qing dynasty that could suppress the rebel army was the Beiyang Army. The person who can control the Beiyang Army is Yuan Shikai, and the others cannot control it at all. Therefore, the Qing government also took this into account and used Yuan Shikai to suppress the revolutionary army. Yuan Shikai was also very clever, knowing that both sides would lose if they continued to fight, so he ordered the Beiyang Army to stop the attack and then send people to negotiate peace. Since Yuan Shikai extended an olive branch to the revolutionary party, the revolutionary party had no choice but to accept peace talks. In the end, the revolutionary party was forced by Yuan Shikai's strong military strength, and in order to avoid more bloodshed, they had to re-plan the future revolutionary line and cede the position of president of the Republic of China to Yuan Shikai.
At that time, the southern provinces had already recommended Sun Yat-sen as the provisional president, in fact, they had left the president behind, meaning to give it to Yuan Shikai. Because, at that time, there was no negotiation with the Beiyang Army, such as the staffing of the new government, presidential power and so on. Sun Yat-sen was the interim president and could exert pressure on the Beiyang Army. After negotiations, many members of the League were included in the ranks of the chief executives, and the presidential system was changed to a cabinet system, which greatly reduced Yuan Shikai's power. After Yuan Shikai became president, he was not satisfied at all. Therefore, this person intended to claim the emperor, and as a result, he was pushed to the cusp of the storm. If he does not call himself emperor and insists on doing it, history is estimated to be rewritten.
I think the final destination of the Xinhai Revolution was also very good, avoiding more bloodshed and uncertainty. Although, the demise of the Qing Dynasty at that time had become a foregone conclusion. However, the Qing government and the Beiyang Army, if they really continue to fight, I believe it will not be good for anyone. If the negotiations between the Beiyang Army and the League broke down at that time, then Yuan Shikai would also force the Qing Emperor to abdicate, and then the whole country would suppress the revolutionary party. Because at that time, the Beiyang Army was not only well-equipped militarily, but also supported by foreign countries and was a legitimate government, while the revolutionary party was illegal and very isolated. Moreover, the Provisional Government is still short of money, and loans have not yet been obtained from the Japanese. Therefore, the result of the fight will certainly be that the revolutionary party suffers losses. Sun Yat-sen ceded the position of provisional president as the best way to do so. Because he avoided more bloodshed and sacrifice, this result is also the result that everyone wants.
