Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui, on these two political fields in the Republic of China, calculate going up is the character with illustrious fame. Yuan Shikai arrives from late Qing Dynasty the Republic of China, arrive from unknown to public power use up all one's resources temporarily, duan Qirui amid produced not little effect; Duan Qirui the nobody from an army of the Qing Dynasty name for the coastal provinces of Liaoning, became later the army overall length of China the Republic of China, yuan Shikai is more indispensable. But, namely so two people, became mate however finally, in ceremonially of ascend the throng, duan Qirui did not go repeatedly even, what reason is this?
Well-known Tianjin way station the importance to Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai after coming back from Korea before long, adopt all sorts of measure, got the training of way station counterpoises is in Tianjin eventually. And right now, duan Qirui has been in Tianjin of way station new army in needed period of time. So, is Duan Qirui how of rise to power and position?
Yuan Shikai regards the Republic of China as a man of the time of period, can say the method of draw over person is brillant. Just went to Tianjin when Yuan Shikai way station when, duan Qirui does not consider falling-rising tone name illustrious, but after Yuan Shikai heard he is very capable, begin draw over Duan Qirui. Say to bout Duan Qirui did not ask for leave to come home, because he wants rapid move to go back,marry, the Yuan Shikai that heard of this thing at that time did not get angry ceaselessly, sent a person to send a piece of silver-colored bill to Duan Qirui instead, it is oneself gift, and in succession put a long holiday to Duan Qirui.
After returning Tianjin way station, yuan Shikai is exceeding all the time Duan Qirui of guide and support, give in every respect again take care of. Accordingly, duan Qirui is in the identity in army of the Qing Dynasty name for the coastal provinces of Liaoning is added more celebrated. After Yuan Shikai takes office as generalissimo, duan Qirui is to be appointed to be army overall length to hold artillerist commander concurrently more. Later somebody will of 3 has ability very much person in army of the Qing Dynasty name for the coastal provinces of Liaoning for " Long Hu dog " , and Duan Qirui is among them one of, "The tiger of the Qing Dynasty name for the coastal provinces of Liaoning " . So, is he how to begin what produce contradiction with Yuan Shikai?
We know, after the Republic of China is built, sun Zhongshan does not have the generalissimo when a few days, the political power of China the Republic of China arrived in Yuan Shikai's hand, but, had done not have how to long produce a problem. Cornstalk Yuan gram of Yuan Shikai is person of defective of a body surely. Although his body has drawback, but ambition is very old however. His idea is, if oneself father is presidential word, so after his father is dead, oneself 10 have 89 was not to become next allowing of the president, but if oneself father is imperial word, so oneself are prince, after Yuan Shikai is dead, emperor not be oneself.
However, we should say, duan Qirui also thinks so. Two people follow Duan Qirui and Feng country a jade tablet half a lifetime of Yuan is big work laboriously, be Yuan Shikai all the time is left arm sword arm, was the Republic of China eventually now, wait for Yuan Shikai to die, duan Qirui and Feng country a jade tablet do not fall namely allow president.
Apparent, this is the mainest contradiction. Because this contradiction looks,be like is the contradiction between Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui, actually is Yuan Ke decide and the contradiction between Duan Qirui, and later a series of problem, we can say be this contradiction is outspread basically also. After this, yuan Ke is decided and the contradiction between the general of the Qing Dynasty name for the coastal provinces of Liaoning such as Duan Qirui, the Qing Dynasty name for the coastal provinces of Liaoning that also brought about Yuan Shikai and him directly all the contradiction between deeper and deeper. As a result the high-ranking military officer that those are promoted to come up single-handed by Yuan Shikai in former days people, became Yuan Shikai's opponent completely almost finally.
