After reading the History of the Death of the Qing Dynasty, I read something about Yuan Shikai: after Li Hongzhang's death, Yuan became the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, and has always been the boss of Beiyang New Army. Cixi knew what was at stake, so she seized her military power in 1906. 1908 After Cixi died, Zai Feng, who came to power, made an excuse to kill him. Although Yuan finally saved his life, he was demoted and went home.
It was not until the Wuchang Uprising that the Qing court begged him to come out and command the Beiyang New Army because he could not move. At this time, Yuan Shikai was able to charge both the revolutionaries and the Qing government, forcing the Qing emperor to abdicate, and Sun Yat-sen gave up the presidency, stealing the achievements of the Revolution of 1911 and reaching the peak of his life.
Regardless of historical merits and demerits, Yuan Shikai is indeed very resourceful and calm in striving for his personal future, which reminds people of a classic line of Liu Bei: "Bend down, hold your position, wait for the weather, and don't fight with your own life."
At first, Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao and went to Xuzhou to go to Liu Bei. Liu Bei kindly let him be stationed in Xiaopei. As a result, his uncle was sent to fight Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu was ungrateful. He took the opportunity to find fault with Zhang Feishou in Xuzhou and hit the snake and bite the farmer. After Liu Bei's defeat, he had nowhere to live, so he acted as a good man to "take in" Liu Bei to Xiao Pei, and Liu Bei thanked him again and again.
When Liu Bei said these words to the two brothers, Zhang Guan felt both angry and timid. There are many plots in Romance of the Three Kingdoms that bear the pain of the moment and take care of the overall situation, which embodies the old man's forbearance and rationality of not being influenced by the moment's feelings.
What I want to talk about today is the numerology behind this sentence.
According to Yuan Shikai's words, it can be inferred from the fleeting time that he is probably jealous of fire and likes water, because 1905- 1907 has been a wood fire in heavenly stems and earthly branches in recent years, while191-19/kloc.
So how did he do it in taboo luck? As Liu Bei said. Of course, he didn't really retire: before he left Beijing, he gave Duan the mansion he had just bought, because he knew in his heart that as long as he could buy the loyalty of these officers, the court would use himself sooner or later. So he went fishing in his hometown openly, but he probably did a lot of behind-the-scenes activities in private.
We say that it is difficult to have a bright career promotion if we are unlucky, but this does not mean that we should lie flat and do nothing. What if the timing is bad? Don't fight for fame and gain. At this time, fighting for that will get twice the result with half the effort and be inefficient, so it is very painful. Comparatively speaking, if you concentrate on some basic work, such as study and accumulation, your income is actually higher. These accumulations can be brought into play at a good time. If you are lucky, you may find that nothing is wasted in the end. This is actually a change in life, in terms of career and other aspects.
Changing a person's life is not to make people change their destiny, but to adjust according to their destiny, or to re-plan the order of doing things in order to maximize their interests. To put it simply: when you are unlucky, you can sharpen your knife at home, and when you are lucky, you can come out and cut vegetables hard; On the other hand, it is definitely not cost-effective.
