Q: If a person buys a lottery ticket and wins the first prize, what would we say?
Answer: He is lucky.

Question: If this person buys a lottery ticket again and wins the first prize, what shall we say?
A: He's very lucky.

Question: This person bought a lottery ticket for a lifetime and won the first prize of a lifetime. What will we say?
Answer one: This person is actually selling lottery tickets.

Answer [-]: This person is Yuan Shikai.

The 5000-year history of China is a history of imperial rule. Thousands of miles of land and endless wealth are all the private property of the emperor.The common people are just slaves in the emperor's family, and they have worked hard all their lives, which has nothing to do with the well-being of the country.It was not until the Republic of China that this situation was changed.

The reason why the Republic of China is called the Republic of China corresponds to the name of the empire. It means that from now on, China's thousands of miles of land and endless wealth will no longer belong to the emperor alone, but to ordinary people throughout China.

However, the 1911 million people in China in the era of 4 did not enjoy the benefits brought by the Republic of China. If the Republic of China is a big cake, then this big cake was all cut into himself by Yuan Shikai plate.

It was not for nothing that Yuan Shikai was denounced as a thief.He was such a hated man all his life, he never served until the food was cooked, he never showed up until the cake was cut, and he always got the biggest and best piece.Even the interests of the entire country did not benefit the people, but were all enjoyed leisurely by the old man alone.

Yuan Shikai did not become the luckiest person in the Republic of China era. In fact, this guy is almost inseparable from luck. As early as in the process of the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, whenever the Qing Dynasty stripped off a piece of power, this part of power was always just right. It fell into Yuan Shikai's hands, and in the process he only had to pay a very small price, or even no need to pay at all.

Why did Yuan Shikai have such good luck?
This starts with Yuan Shikai's personality.

Speaking of Yuan Shikai, the Chinese don't know much about him, but the Japanese know a lot about him.In the eyes of the Japanese, Yuan Shikai is a very terrible guy, not only terrible, but also hateful, as long as Yuan Shikai is mentioned, the Japanese will be furious.

The Chinese people hated Yuan Shikai, and the Japanese people hated him, but it should be said that the Korean people were most angry with Yuan Shikai.

Why do Korean people hate Yuan Shikai even more?

This answer is exactly the cause of the beginning of the Republic of China...

(1) A flower in the south of the Yangtze River
During the late Qing Dynasty, China was plagued by natural and man-made disasters, such as the Huaihe-Yellow Valley, where floods and droughts continued year after year.

The imperial court did not care about the life and death of the people, and the local gentry had limited financial resources, so they could not save the first day of the first lunar month but the fifteenth day, so some good people imitated Western methods and issued disaster relief lottery tickets.But in times of famine, there are hundreds of lottery tickets issued by the people. If there are too many monks, they will not hit the bell, and if there are too many lottery tickets, they will not make money. Countless victims died of cold and hunger every day, and a woman in Suzhou city was seriously injured.

This woman's name was crowned in Suzhou Mansion, and she lived in her boudoir. Because of her unparalleled beauty, she was hailed as "a flower in the south of the Yangtze River".The Huai River flood had nothing to do with her, but she couldn't bear to see the refugees getting separated and lying dead on the road every day, so she made a shocking decision:

No matter who it is, as long as he wins the first prize of the disaster relief lottery, she will marry him.

Sure enough, the decision of a flower in the south of the Yangtze River shocked the Jianghuai area, and the supply of disaster relief lottery tickets suddenly exceeded the demand.Among them is Li Jianqing, a talented scholar. He has long admired the name of a flower in the south of the Yangtze River, but because of his poor family, he dare not have any wrong thoughts.

Li Jianqing is not the only one who has hope, but anyone who buys lottery tickets has the hope of winning the beauties.

However, the number of lottery tickets was very large. Even if Li Jianqing tried his best not to eat and bought a few more lottery tickets, he might not be able to win the first prize.For this reason, Li Jianqing gritted his teeth and sold his ancestral home and property. All the money from the sale was used to buy lottery tickets.

But Li Jianqing's luck was really bad. He invested all his wealth and bought a lot of lottery tickets, but he still didn't get the first prize.

The news that Li Jianqing, a poor scholar, did something beautiful in his dreams, but only ended up ruining his fortune, spread quickly, and people laughed at him, but when the news reached the ears of a flower in the south of the Yangtze River, the girl Can't help but be moved by it.

Willing to give everything for you, isn't such a man exactly what a woman entrusts for her life?

So a flower in the south of the Yangtze River disregarded material arguments, Xiaohong ran across the night, boldly came to Li Jianqing, and was willing to marry this infatuated man.

Li Jianqing was a blessing in disguise, so he was naturally ecstatic.

But he was too happy!
Now a flower in the south of the Yangtze River is the "first prize", she doesn't marry whoever she wants, and the person who gets the first prize has the final say on her marriage.

Someone really got the first prize. It was a delicious and lazy bum. It is said that that guy just saw a dime on the road, picked it up, took it to touch the prize, and actually won the first prize.

This news stunned Jiangnan Yihua. She was willing to marry Li Jianqing as his wife. Of course, she would not admit to the first prize again, but I am afraid that the person who won the first prize would not agree.

She had no choice but to ask her newlywed husband: What can I do with the current affairs?
Li Jianqing, a scholar, replied with only one sentence: 36 strategies, the best policy is to go!
In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, the young couple took the road to Shandong and went to Dengzhou to join a relative of Li Jianqing.

Li Jianqing's relatives run a small tinfoil shop in Shandong. When the young couple arrived, the relative's shop had just received a big job from the Qingying Camp of the Dengzhou Garrison. Plated with transparent tin foil, there is a lot of work, but the shop is short of manpower, and the young couple came at just the right time.

Regardless of the tiredness of the journey, the young couple rushed to help their relatives with work. Two days later, Li Jianqing sent a batch of brightly plated armor to Qingying.

When I went there for the first time, a very shrewd young man was in charge of inspecting the goods in Qingying.After that, Li Jianqing went there a few more times, and the two became acquainted.Only then did Li Jianqing know that this young man was called Yuan Shikai, a native of Xiangcheng, Henan, who came from a wealthy family. Because he failed in the imperial examinations, he was ashamed to see others, so he joined the army and wanted to follow the example of the ancient Ban Chao and make contributions to the country.

Yuan Shikai told Li Jianqing that the reason for the Qingying's purchase of soldiers and armor this time was to send troops to North Korea to suppress the rebellion of hungry soldiers there.

(2) I can't live through this day
Facts have proved that Yuan Shikai, a failed student, was on the right path to join the army.The trip to North Korea made him soar and become famous in one fell swoop.

The reason why Yuan Shikai had the opportunity to go on an expedition to North Korea with Qingying stemmed from a beautiful legend of sibling love.

The history of this legend is relatively long, starting from 1392.

In 1392, when China was still in the Ming Dynasty, there was a border guard named Li Chengdong, who had a whim one day and took a group of people to Korea. After arriving there, he reported to the court and asked to be the king of Korea. The court approved the application.

Since then, the Lee family of North Korea has regarded China as the suzerain country for generations, and wrote memorials to the Chinese government for instructions and reports. The appointment of administrative officials must be approved by the Chinese government, and the Chinese government is responsible for North Korea's customs and national defense.

The management system of this suzerain state is very similar to the current "special zone", but in terms of administrative power, North Korea at that time was not as independent as Hong Kong and Macau.And the royal family of Lee has become the "Chief Executive" of the Korean Special Zone for generations.

In the blink of an eye, Chief Executive Lee of North Korea replaced 25 people.When Li Sheng, the fifth king of No. 20, died, this old man was very weak, he didn't even have a son, and the throne was vacant.So Li Teshou's family found a distant relative, Li Gangying, and made Li Gangying's 8-year-old son Li Xi the king.And Li Gang should follow his father and son, and has since become the regent of North Korea.

Seven years later, King Li Xi got married, and the regent Li Gangying had a lot of choices for his son, and found Min Ciying, an orphan daughter of the Min family, to be his concubine, known as Concubine Min in history.

Concubine Min is the well-known prototype of Empress Mingcheng, but in fact she has never been a queen for a day. However, the reason why Concubine Min was posthumously named Empress Mingcheng is because she has an advantage that others cannot compare to.

She is one year older than King Lee Hee.

When they got married, Concubine Min was 16 years old, and King Li Xicai was 15 years old.

Li Xi, a 15-year-old little boy, doesn't understand reason at all and hasn't matured yet, so sister Concubine Min has to teach him slowly.

Female freshman, holding a golden rooster, sibling love, the prettiest.This is the beginning of a beautiful love between siblings.

There is a law in marriage science: the happiness of a family is inversely proportional to the distance between parents.This means that the childhood life of a two-person family is the happiest, but if one of the parents is unwilling to be lonely and insists on running to get together with the young couple, bumping and making noise will be inevitable.

This is especially true for such a beautiful thing as sibling love.As the saying goes, elder sisters are gentle and younger brothers are obedient, and husbands have crooked noses. They are talking about the situation of Chief Executive Li's family at that time.

The husband, Li Gangying, stood between the young couple every day. Seeing that the young couple lived a sweet life, the more they looked at it, the more unpleasant they became.

The husband dislikes his daughter-in-law, but the daughter-in-law dislikes her husband even more.

As a result, Chief Executive Li's family had family conflicts.

The best solution to family conflicts is to separate the families and live their own lives.Because conflicts are brought about by a family getting together, family disputes can never be eliminated unless they are separated and out of sight.

The youngest daughter-in-law, Concubine Min, put forward a proposal to separate the family, which was strongly supported by the two.

One of these two men is Li Zaixian, the eldest son of Li Gangying and the elder brother of King Li Xi.Because the father made his younger brother the king at the time, but he had nothing to do with him, so Li Zaixian was very hurt, so he firmly supported the request of the brother and daughter-in-law to separate the family. As long as it can make the father unhappy, he can do anything come out.

The other person is Li Zuiying, who used to be a vegetable vendor in Seoul, and also the elder brother of the Regent Li Gangying. His younger brother became the regent of a country by chance. The vegetable vendor Li Zuiying felt unspeakably depressed. I wish my younger brother's family would be ruined, so I firmly support my niece and daughter-in-law's request to separate the family.

So Li Teshou's family was divided into two groups, one group was the daughter-in-law faction, and its supporters included the eldest brother Wang Li Zaixian, and the uncle Wang—the king's uncle Li Zuiying.The other group is the old man faction, only the old man, Li Gangying, has no supporters.

Uncle Wang, Brother Wang, and Mrs. Wang teamed up to clean up the king's own father. Li Teshou's family was completely in disarray, and they were in a mess every day.

Li Gangying said sadly: "I can't live through this day!"

There is really no way out.

(3) Sister-brother love leads to death

At the beginning, Li Gang chose the orphan Min Ciying to marry his son because he had no family power to rely on, so he would not bully his precious son.

But Li Gangying ignored one point. Since Concubine Min is an orphan, her helpless life will inevitably develop her strong personality. If her personality is not tough and her heart is not strong enough, how can a lonely girl survive?

It is precisely because Concubine Min has a tough personality that she is making a fuss about breaking up the family.

When the daughter-in-law and her husband split up, there are no more than two solutions. One is that the husband walks out with a cane, and the other is that the young couple carry their bedding.However, these two proposals are only a result for the Regent Li Gangying:
In any case, he had to hand over power.

Because the King of Korea conferred by the Qing Empire was his son Li Xi, not Li Gangying.

For such a result, Li Gang responded to the unspeakable pain in his heart, and he sighed sadly: "Hua magpie, tail pouted, married a daughter-in-law and forgotten his father...

Regarding the internal conflicts of Chief Executive Li’s family, Japanese historian Tetsujiro Sato commented:
"Queen Min's family is domineering and promiscuous. Han Wang's father has been grievous for a long time, and he wants the Qing emperor to use his side to strengthen the court..."

Tetsujiro Sato meant to say: Regent Li Gangying, look at his violent temper, he is going to make trouble...

On July 1882, 7, Li Gangying's subordinates gathered in the camp of the guards, and suddenly rushed into the palace, cutting off any living things, and killing those who were panting. Most of all, he was very old, but he couldn't even run, and was chased by the rebels, who chopped down his body everywhere in the palace.

The love between sister Concubine Min and younger brother Li Xi finally led to a fatal accident.

It was not enough to just kill Uncle Wang. Troops flooded into the palace, and they wanted to find and kill Concubine Min. Everyone only knew that Concubine Min was the most beautiful woman in Korea. In the blink of an eye, all the beautiful maids in the palace were cut down, and then the rebels roared and charged at the Japanese embassy in Korea.

Japanese Minister Hanabou Yoshimatari and instructor Horimoto Reizo drank in the embassy, ​​reciting poems and fus, and they recited a famous Japanese haiku: I am like a grass and tree, buried in the soil for the rest of the year, and now I have grown, and the buds have not yet bloomed...

This lingering sentence was recited too presciently. After the recitation, the rebels suddenly poured in. The instructor Reizo Horimoto drank a little too much and had no time to escape.Hanafang Yizhi, the minister in Korea, was very skilled. Under the pursuit of the rebels, he ran two hundred miles overnight and fled to Incheon.However, the rebels were still chasing after him. Seeing that Hanafang Yizhi was about to finish playing, fortunately, a British merchant ship was about to leave the port. Hanafang Yizhi jumped on board and finally escaped with his life.

A small family dispute turned into an international incident in the blink of an eye.

When things got serious, the old father-in-law Li Gangying hurried into the palace and saw corpses and blood everywhere in the palace, even his own brother died in the chaos, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: Look, look, my family He Wanshixing, the family is messed up, and people are killed. I said a long time ago that the relationship between siblings will not have a good result. Lesson...

So the husband Li Gang should preside over the funeral in person, and handle the funeral for his daughter-in-law Concubine Min who died in the war.

But Li Gangying never thought that his daughter-in-law was far more eccentric than he imagined. Concubine Min was not chopped off by the rebels at all, but was disguised as an ugly maid, escaped from the palace, and fled to Zhongqing Road. He hid in the home of the Min clan.

When Concubine Min returned to the palace from Zhongqingdao, it was Yuan Shikai who brought her back.

The Japanese historian Tetsujiro Sato insisted that on the way Yuan Shikai picked up Concubine Min back to the palace, she was restless in her room. When the flamboyant Concubine Min saw Yuan Shikai, her legs became weak and she couldn't even walk. , launched a fierce love offensive, Yuan Shikai remained calm, and treated Concubine Min with reason and affection... As a result of this emotion, Yuan Shikai's position was lost, and he was successfully conquered by Concubine Min...

Speaking of this Sato Tetsujiro, this person has been in North Korea for 30 years. When Yuan Shikai arrived in North Korea, he took a small penny every day and followed Yuan Shikai’s buttocks to record. It is said that even Yuan Shikai farted in Sato’s It is recorded in the notebook.Later, Sato wrote a "Yuan Shikai" based on these records, and planned to publish it in Tianjin.When Yuan Shikai learned of this, he immediately sent his son Yuan Keding to Tianjin in a hurry to find Yukichi Kobata, the Japanese Consul General in Tianjin. After some secret talks, the Japanese accepted a large sum of money from Yuan Shikai and gave it to Sato Tie Zhilang was regarded as the manuscript fee, and the manuscript was completely destroyed at Yuan Shikai's request.

Yuan Shikai was very nervous about Sato Tetsujiro's book. As for the reason, this has become a permanent mystery.But this incident shows that although Sato Tetsujiro's point of view is very far-fetched, it is likely to be closer to the truth itself.

In Sato Tetsujiro's view, it is the woman's luck that Concubine Min has the opportunity to have a relationship with Yuan Shikai, because Sato believes that Yuan Shikai is a rare hero in the world. The regiment left the Japanese archipelago helpless, shocked and terrified.Such a hero would not be found even if the Japanese were killed, so Sato admired Yuan Shikai so much that he prostrated himself on all fours.

In addition, Sato also revealed: Yuan Shikai is a heartthrob, especially a woman. When seeing a man like Yuan Shikai, his legs become weak, and he can't help being tempted... The most terrible thing is that Sato Tetsujiro still has evidence :

(4) Yuan Shikai is a heartthrob

When Yuan Shikai was in North Korea, he often visited the private residence of the right minister Shen Shunze.

Shen Shunze has a maidservant who is as beautiful as a flower and as clever as a person. She once peeped at Yuan Shikai from behind the curtain, and saw Yuan Shikai's strange appearance and heroic spirit... The beautiful maidservant didn't know which nerve in her brain was miswired, and she was suddenly confused Infatuated, caught in love.

It can be seen from this that the male servants in Shen Shunze's family, the right minister, must be so ugly that they have broken the limit of human imagination, otherwise this beautiful and clever maid would not have been fascinated by Yuan Shikai.

Not long after, Yuan Shikai came to visit again, and it happened that Shen Shunze was not at home, so the beautiful maid came out to serve tea, but did not leave after serving the tea, but just stood there, looking at Yuan Shikai without blinking.Yuan Shikai saw that this girl was interesting, so he intentionally teased her: "Is there any secret in Mr. Chen's family that is not keeping it from me?"
The servant girl replied: Of course, every family has its own secrets.

Yuan Shikai was startled: What secret?
The maid pursed her lips and smiled: If I told you, what kind of secret would that be?

Yuan Shikai is a ghost, why didn't he know that this girl had that kind of meaning for him?So I deliberately asked: Then under what circumstances would you be willing to tell me?
The servant girl blushed and stepped into the inner room.

Yuan Shikai laughed, got up and left.
