When Yuan Shikai learned about it, he believed that the DPRK had sent envoys abroad without authorization, which would hurt China's dignity.

If North Korea wants to show its independence from the rest of the world, China should make a statement that its vassals must not be parallel to other countries with China.

Yuan Shikai suggested to Li Hongzhang that the DPRK envoys and Chinese envoys abroad must use a submission to negotiate their official affairs. Correspondence was marked with a posterity, and the Chinese envoys used a pen to note to conform to the old system.

Subsequently, he sent a note to the DPRK** instructing him to prevent the envoy from leaving the country without prior consultation.

Li Xi was not convinced, and the reasons for his appeal were unreasonably rejected by Yuan Shikai.

Qing ** also believed that North Korea's trip did not conform to the state system, and ordered it to ask for instructions in advance and wait for permission before going there.

Li Xi did not listen, and secretly ordered Park Dingyang and Zhao Zhengxi to leave Seoul.

After Yuan Shikai found out, he did everything possible to force North Korea to recover the two, and at the same time sent someone to China with a counselor to ask for instructions and apologize.

Li Xi was under pressure and could only comply.

Afterwards, perhaps, even the arrogant please ** felt that Yuan Shikai was a bit excessive and too bullying.

He said: "This matter has not been forcibly stopped, but can only be ordered to abide by the state system." ”

In order to follow this, Qing ** asked Li Hongzhang to make a specific method in this regard.

Li Hongzhang made three articles, one of which was that the DPRK envoys should first report to the Chinese embassy in that country when they visited the country, and then the Chinese embassy would take the DPRK envoys to visit the relevant countries.

However, Zhao Dingyang's visit to the United States did not implement this article. Yuan Shikai took the opportunity to attack and ordered North Korea to transfer him back and severely punish him.

At the end of April 1889, Park Dingyang returned to Seoul, and the DPRK proposed to appoint him as the superintendent of the Foreign Affairs Department.

After Yuan Shikai learned about it, he resolutely objected and determined that Park Dingyang violated the Chinese constitution and was actually a sinner. Not only was the DPRK not allowed to grant Pak Dingyang an official position, but he also demanded that he be severely punished.

Li Xi disagreed, and sent people to dredge it several times, but Yuan Shikai just didn't agree.

Li Xi was helpless and not reluctant, so he sent Yuan Shikai's good friend Kim Yun-sik to intercede.

Yuan Shikai said to Kim Yun-sik: It's not that he doesn't give face to his good friend, but the issue of principle cannot be compromised.

Kim Yoon-sik said, "What is the matter of principle? It's just a momentary negligence on the part of the envoys, and there is a lot of discussion about this matter in the government and the opposition. In the opinion of the stupid brother, don't you insist anymore, take a step back and open the sky, can't you take an example? ”

"Brother Jin, this matter is non-negotiable, because we are friends, and if we were someone else, I would have kicked you out long ago. Brother Jin, if you want to drink with me, brother will accompany you. It's just that this important matter related to the country's political system should not be mentioned again, and the feelings of friends should not be hurt in vain. ”

Seeing this, Kim Yun-sik could only sigh and leave. Li Xi, the emperor, deserved it well, and he didn't dare to offend Yuan Shikai, so he had to follow Yuan Shikai's instructions in the end.

In this incident, Yuan Shikai's self-esteem was satisfied, and his prestige was also promoted.

In this matter, Yuan Shikai certainly has the element of performing his duties conscientiously, but it also shows his willfulness and willfulness.

Contrary to Li Xi's sincere invitation to Yuan Shikai to come to North Korea, the current Yuan Shikai is already a rat crossing the street in North Korea. It was only because of the forces behind him that no one dared to openly shout and fight.

Yuan Shikai has become a demon in North Korea. At that time, although the Great Qing Kingdom was already riddled with diseases, it was still effortless to bully a small North Korea.

Because North Korea at that time was too weak and pitiful.

Even his best friend Kim Yoon-sik broke off with him, it can be said that everyone betrayed his relatives, can a smart and sensitive person like Yuan Shikai not feel it?

However, every time he reported his work to Li Hongzhang, he always boasted about his prestige in the DPRK and how much he valued his words. Because of him, neither the pro-Japanese nor the pro-Russian faction acted rashly.

The North Korean government and the opposition are looking forward to the departure of the demon Yuan Shikai like the stars and the moon.

By the time Yuan Shikai's three-year term expired, he finally waited for an opportunity.

Gaozong Li Xi sent a letter to Shuqing** and Li Hongzhang, saying that Yuan Shikai "has been stationed in the east for a long time, and it will be difficult to help each other in the end", and asked for a replacement of personnel.

After a long time, some of Yuan Shikai's extreme practices in North Korea also reached the ears of some officials in the Qing court. Because Yuan Shikai is Li Hongzhang's person, people who are dissatisfied with Li Hongzhang also take advantage of Yuan Shikai's problem, which means that Li Hongzhang uses people improperly.

Someone played, see Yuan Shikai: "The outside and the inside are separated, and the emotions do not match, but they resist and do not get along, which is very harmful to the overall situation." ”

The imperial court also blamed Li Hongzhang. He once told Li Hongzhang because of Yuan Shikai's problem: "The political turmoil in North Korea is not worrying, but Yuan's rashness and irritability are also very worrying. ”

These things were quickly spread to Yuan Shikai's ears by Yuan Shikai's cousin Yuan Baoling.

When he first came to North Korea, Yuan Shikai was really full of ambition. Promoted and appointed to the office, entrusted with important tasks. He thinks that with the sacred majesty of the Heavenly Empire and his own ability, he commands the Korean monarchs and ministers like a mustard. Always ambitious, confident, high-spirited and ambitious.

He thought that North Korea would definitely become a treasure of feng shui for his ascension, and it would definitely become an important platform for him to climb up.

But when he learned that both North Korea and the country were dissatisfied with him, his morale plummeted.

Now, he doesn't want to stay in this place of right and wrong anymore.

These thoughts of his are clearly expressed in the letter he wrote to Sheng Yihuai: "Since Han Wu was independent in civilization, there were many Westerners who invited foreign craftsmen for a while. And when everything was done to no avail, and the purchase was all good, the national wealth was exhausted, and the national debt was accumulated, and the salaries of hundreds of officials have not been paid so far, and the salaries of the soldiers are also precarious.

"There are many evils, panic inside and outside, until the hearts of the people are scattered, and the political waste has never been worse than in North Korea, and even worse today.

"Hundreds of officials and ministers have their own intentions, each with their own plans, that is, at this time, will they not know Yiru Hudi? It's just a matter of doing your best and waiting for the time. The current situation here is like a river flowing down.

"If the nephew is inferior, he has been in trouble, but he is looking forward to the melon period after the autumn, that is, he will seek to hide the clumsiness, and the pastoral happiness is not far away. In the meantime, the situation has been exhausted,...... If the nephew is not talented, he will leave his relatives in vain, and live like a year. Respect for the re-election, not daring. The Russians conspiracy to encroach on the railway for a long time, Fang Jin's determination to rail, the ambition is inherent, and the future will be made, how can it be in Hanhu?

"My brother knows that he is a good material, and he has to deal with it for a long time, and things are getting more and more difficult here, especially if he can't support him. There are mistakes, about the overall situation, and think about it repeatedly, but it is the best plan. And the old mother is sixty years old, and she supports a bearded person, and there are many regrets in the public and private. In the summer and autumn, he was depressed, and he said to the teacher, but he was not allowed; It is also endowed with repeated appearances, and it is hindered; Is this winter even more hopeless, and death is also fate? In the spring, the camera seeks its own way out.

"Things here are like a chronic disease, and when they are in the dark, it is difficult to get rid of them. The younger brother is hanging on the melon generation, and he has not yet been allowed, and it is by no means a long-term plan to sit on the needle every day. Disasters are close to life, and all kinds of diseases are clustered. It is worth a lot of things, there is no remedy, public and private relations, and daily worries. In October, you may be able to sail and sail in,...... Will the uncertainties come true? In the coming year, we will be able to set up a ,...... It's just a matter of choosing someone to take over. The younger brother is mediocre and ugly, and this day is tricky, and the illness is repeated, and this assumption is incompetent, and the old mother is sick,...... It is uncertain when this shoulder will be lifted.

"I went to the winter family and my mother was sick and wasted, and she begged for leave many times, first for the handsome and handsome, and then for the inner court to recover, and her mood was very bad, and she became ill for a long time, and she began to recover in May this year. …… When the younger brother enters the autumn, he feels that the old illness is about to occur, and he still wants to ask for a simple generation, and he doesn't know if the axis can be allowed to do so? ”

Disheartened, Yuan Shikai didn't want to stay in North Korea for a day.

Of course, the reason is not as he said to Sheng Yihuai, how incompetent does that seem? Isn't it a contradiction to be able to boast about himself at Li Hongzhang?
