Why did Yan Fu praise Yuan Shikai s talent as unparalleled ?

This is because Yan Fu and Yuan Shikai have always been good friends, and Yuan Shikai attaches great importance to Yan Fu after gaining power.

We all know that Yan Fu is one of the earliest students studying abroad and has always had advanced ideas. And he has long advocated learning from the advanced culture of the West, and he should not be blindly arrogant.

His view is also deeply recognized by Yuan Shikai. From the beginning of the small station training, the relationship between the two people has been very good. The two of them often drank tea and chatted together to discuss China's development path.

It can be said that a large part of the reason for the formation of recruits in the small station is because Yuan Shikai was influenced by Western ideas at that time. He believes that only by reforming its own army, learning from the West's military skills, and using the West's new style can China resist foreign aggression.

It can be said that the two of them have the same idea in this regard, so their relationship has deepened.

When Yuan Shikai was reappointed, Yan Fu was not recognized by the mainstream of the court at that time for various reasons, and he was gradually pushed to the margins. But when Yuan Shikai went out of the mountain again, he thought of Yan Fu, thinking that Yan Fu's advanced thinking could help him when he was fighting and arranging troops. The most important thing is that Yan Fu has studied abroad.

Know what Westerners think, know what foreigners like.

Therefore, Yuan Shikai sent Yan Fu to participate in various foreign meetings many times, and gradually Yan Fu entered the mainstream again. And the reason why Yan Fu said this is because Yuan Shikai does have a tough hand and extraordinary political talent. On the other hand, it may also be a compliment between friends.

At that time, Yan Fu believed in the principle of survival of the fittest. Under the influence of the smallholder economy, he believed in Yuan's ability, so he praised him vigorously.

I think Yan Fu saw that Yuan Shikai was in power at that time, so he wanted to say something nice to please him and prevent himself from being targeted.

The relationship between the two is indeed very good, so there is a bit of a sense of flattery, and Yuan Shikai's strength is indeed worthy of these two words, so Yan Fu said so.

Because the relationship between the two is very good, even after Yuan Shikai is in power, he still values Yan Fu very much, not only because he really appreciates it, but also because he is a bit slippery.

It can be said that Yan Fu is a kind of slap on the horse, after all, Yuan Shikai had already gained a lot of power at that time, and only by currying favor with him could he get a good position.

Because Yan Fu's thoughts are very similar to Yuan Shikai, they were both influenced by Western thoughts, and they were both relatively advanced ideas at that time.

Because Yan Fu and Yuan Shikai's thoughts were more consistent at that time, Yan Fu's praise of Yuan Shikai was exaggerated, but it also expressed his appreciation for Yuan Shikai.

Yan Fu and Yuan Shikai are old acquaintances, and their ideas can sometimes reach the same agreement, and except for Yuan Shikai's bad virtues, his talent can indeed be called "one moment in the best".

The relationship between Yan Fu and Yuan Shikai has always been good, and Yuan Shikai was in power at the time, Yan Fu praised Yuan Shikai with the intention of touting.

The two of them are highly compatible in thought, have the same ideas, and have a good relationship, which is a bit of a boast.

He was the first president of Peking University and translated Darwin's "The Origin of Species", which was the first to propose "natural selection for the survival of the fittest" in China
