However, Yuan Shikai is also a person with many eccentricities. For example, his breakfast every day is almost certainly a bowl of shredded chicken noodles, and it must be a big bowl. He swished and began to eat, three times five divided by two. As a soldier, Yuan Shikai eats at an amazing speed.
Especially in personal hygiene, Yuan Shikai's quirks are more obvious. For example, Yuan Shikai never used a handkerchief. When you have a cold and a runny nose, Yuan Shikai will clean it with his sleeves. As a result, some filth often appears on his sleeves, which is very unsightly.
What I can't stand most is that Yuan Shikai doesn't like taking a bath. According to Ms. Xue, Yuan Shikai's biological daughter, Yuan Shikai only takes a bath once a year, that is, during the Chinese New Year. I never take a bath on weekdays. Even in summer, when he was sweating all over, Yuan Shikai didn't take a bath. His menstruation couldn't stand it, so they took turns scrubbing him with wet towels.
But Yuan Shikai pays special attention to personal health care. With so many concubines, Yuan Shikai is inevitably weak. Therefore, Yuan Shikai's way of keeping in good health is to make up. How to make up for it? It is nothing more than traditional ginseng and velvet antler. Yuan Shikai's method is bold, and nothing needs to be cooked. He eats it raw. Raw, I don't know how it tastes.
In addition to eating these traditional tonics, Yuan Shikai also invented a unique way of keeping in good health: drinking human milk. He specially found two wet nurses to raise them and milked them for President Yuan Da every day.
It's a pity that such a big supplement failed to make him live past 60 years old. It seems that everything is measured, and eating too many supplements is not necessarily a good thing.
Another hobby of Yuan Shikai is smoking cigars. This hobby is very tall. You know, opium was the standard of the upper class at that time, not cigars. For example, Zhang Xueliang, the son of Zhang Guard, is a chain smoker.
However, Yuan Shikai hates opium. Not only does he not allow himself to smoke, but he also does not allow his subordinates to smoke. When he was training in a small station, he found one of his young officers smoking opium secretly. After he caught it red-handed, he directly beheaded the young officer with a big knife as an example. This shows that he is very aware of the harm of opium.
Of course, one of Yuan Shikai's biggest eccentricities should be being an emperor. I never understood how Yuan Xiangcheng's brain couldn't recognize the situation at that time. How can you risk the world to be emperor? You can be flexible. You don't have to have an emperor's name to be an emperor.
As a result, the emperor did not work for a few days, and his life was hanging by a thread. If Lao Yuan had lived in his twenties, the modern history of China would have been a different story-but history had no assumptions.
The people are lucky and the country is lucky. Everything is fate, and nothing can be controlled by people.
