Today, 109 years ago, on January 3, 1916 (November 28, 1915 in the lunar calendar), Yuan Shikai ordered all agencies to still call it the Republic of China externally, but to write "Hong Xian" internally. On January 3, 1916, Yuan Shikai ordered all organs to still call it the Republic of China externally, but to write "Hong Xian" internally. "Hong Xian" is the title of Yuan Shikai when he proclaimed himself emperor in 1916. In December 1915, Yuan Shikai announced the restoration of the monarchy, the establishment of the Chinese Empire, and the change of Yuan Hongxian. On January 1, 1916, he ascended the throne of emperor. On January 3, 1916, Yuan Shikai ordered all organs to still call it the Republic of China externally, but to write "Hong Xian" internally. On March 22, 1916, due to internal and external difficulties, he was forced to announce the abolition of the monarchy and the restoration of the Republic of China. Comments: In fact, on January 3rd, all organs were still called the Republic of China externally and wrote "Hong Xian" internally. It can be seen from this incident that Yuan Shikai himself was also very uncertain about the political situation of the emperor, but it was really intriguing to take this dangerous move as a master of power.
