Why can't Sun beat Yuan? What would it be like if Yuan Shikai didn't proclaim himself emperor?

As we all know, Sun Yat-sen is a revolutionary pioneer and Yuan Shikai is a "national thief". There is a great gap between their praise and criticism in later generations. However, Sun Yat-sen was completely behind Yuan Shikai. We can see that after the Revolution of 1911, Sun Yat-sen was only a temporary president for one month, and he was about to abdicate to the more convinced Yuan Shikai. It stands to reason that you have the ability. Why not do it yourself? Sun Yat-sen is by no means incompetent, but he is indeed inferior to Yuan Shikai in ability and popular support.

They are also famous enemies, but it must be said that most of the time Sun Yat-sen was suppressed. First of all, Sun Yat-sen was born in a peasant family. Although he worked hard the day after tomorrow, he was never as good as some people who stood at the end of your struggle when he was born. His real strength is to seize the opportunity and create momentum. Yuan Shikai, however, was born in a big landlord and bureaucratic family, and his education was beyond the imagination of ordinary families. As for his thoughts, he is more inclined to western capitalism and will not consider the ideas of farmers. At that time, this idea was the mainstream. After all, the real right to speak is still in the hands of capitalists. With such a leader who is considerate of them, officials will naturally cater to them.

The second is the difference in ability. Their education is different. Sun Yat-sen studied medicine in his early days, but after the Xinhai, he changed from a civilian to a president. It can be said that he has no experience as an official before. Therefore, it is not enough in all aspects, and the cohesion within the party is not as good as that of Yuan Shikai. As for Yuan Shikai, he has made great achievements in economy, military and politics. In particular, he had a Beiyang warlord, who was one of the strongest private armies at that time after several generations of Yuan family management. This is very different from the alliance behind Sun Yat-sen..

However, Yuan Shikai was destroyed by arrogance. If he does it step by step, he may not only surpass Sun Yat-sen in achievements, but also have a higher historical evaluation. Unfortunately, the brain is a good thing, Yuan Shikai didn't have it at that time. After getting the presidency, he tampered with the constitution many times and changed the term of office of the president to 10 years, which can be re-elected. At this time, Si Mazhao's intentions are well known. But later, he was no longer satisfied with the presidency. He wants to be restored and become emperor himself. At that time, how could he be allowed to drive history backwards? Obviously, he was stopped by most people, and finally only became emperor for 83 days, which became a big joke in history.

Of course, some people say that if he hadn't died and didn't choose to be emperor, what would have happened later? In fact, I think he will still be eliminated by history. With his ambition, even if he is not an emperor, he may be very greedy for power. In the era when he was in charge, the military, economy and diplomacy may have developed, but his thoughts are definitely behind the trend of the times. Yuan Shikai's education is a typical bureaucrat in Qing Dynasty, and his basic ideas will only meet the needs of a few people. Then, in the face of China's growing peasant family with a growing population, he will eventually be eliminated. After all, history has proved that socialism is the most suitable policy for China's development.
