After Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, his behavior was opposed by many people, and many forces expressed their desire to unite against Yuan Shikai. Later, Sun Yat-sen also launched a movement to protect the country, and forces from all over the country responded in succession. Yuan Shikai saw that his behavior aroused public indignation in the whole country and had to announce the abolition of the monarchy. In the face of the vigorous movement to defend the country and defend the country, even many of his Beiyang troops chose to defect. In May, Yuan Shikai became angry from embarrassment and died of uremia.
In fact, Yuan Shikai won't die even if he has uremia. Most importantly, after Yuan Shikai failed to claim the throne, he became the target of unanimous crusade by the people of the whole country. In this case, Yuan Shikai's mental stress can be imagined. His physical condition was not very good, and he was under great mental pressure. Yuan Shikai didn't adjust his emotions in time, which eventually led him to such an end.
In fact, Yuan Shikai's early death was closely related to his two sons. Originally, uremia was not a fatal disease, but Yuan Shikai was very jealous of medical treatment. The eldest son and the second son had different opinions on treatment, which accelerated the result of his physical death. Yuan Shikai's eldest son has been abroad, so he has great trust in western medicine. On the issue of Yuan Shikai, his eldest son advocated western medicine treatment and wanted to operate on Yuan Shikai. However, his second son doesn't think so. The second son thought that Yuan Shikai should be treated with Chinese medicine, so he invited experts from Chinese medicine and western medicine to treat Yuan Shikai respectively.
Because Yuan Shikai had not abdicated at that time, his two sons were at loggerheads over the matter, and western medicine experts dared not rashly operate on Yuan Shikai, so they could only adopt the most conservative treatment plan. On the other hand, Chinese medicine experts continued to treat Yuan Shikai with Chinese medicine. As a result, Yuan Shikai ate both Chinese medicine and western medicine. He got uremia because of kidney is not good, but he didn't recover later, but he soon became terminally ill and eventually died young.
