Yuan Shikai forced the palace. Why didn't seventy thousand Qing Royal Guards resist?
When Yuan Shikai was forced into the palace, the reason why the Royal Guards in the Qing Dynasty did not resist was mainly due to the following three reasons: First, Yuan Shikai was already the most powerful minister in the Qing Dynasty; Second, the Royal Guards in the Qing Dynasty were not led by anyone; Third, the Qing dynasty has existed in name only.

First, Yuan Shikai was already the most powerful minister in the Qing court at that time. First of all, before the death of Empress Dowager Cixi, Yuan Shikai was already the real power minister of the Qing court. Although suppressed by Empress Dowager Cixi, Yuan Shikai has been quietly expanding his power. Later, after the death of Empress Dowager Cixi, Yuan Shikai took this opportunity to win over many ministers of the Qing court and develop his own power in the name of supporting the Qing Dynasty, just like Cao Cao? Holding the emperor as a minister? Very similar, so Yuan Shikai could easily take away the political power of the Qing Dynasty when he was not bound by Empress Dowager Cixi, so the Qing Dynasty Royal Guards certainly did not dare to offend Yuan Shikai at that time.

Second, the Royal Guards in the Qing Dynasty had no leaders. At that time, although there were many soldiers in the Qing Dynasty, there was no leader at all. Yuan Shikai had made full preparations before he was forced into the palace. He wooed those generals who were interested in taking refuge in himself to become one of his own, so this group of people would certainly not resist Yuan Shikai. Why don't the rest of the generals? Resign? , or hands without real power, so no one led seventy thousand royal guards against Yuan Shikai.

Third, at that time, the Qing Dynasty had existed in name only. Finally, when Yuan Shikai was forced into the palace, the Qing Dynasty was already in a state of internal troubles and foreign invasion, and it was almost powerless at that time. In fact, everyone knows this, so when did Yuan Shikai come out? Forced palace? It may not be a good thing for the Royal Guards, so they have no reason to resist.
