Why did Zhu Yuanzhang make Nanjing the capital when he established the Ming Dynasty? Originally Liu Bowen said this sentence.

As a beggar, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated various forces in the wave of peasant uprising at the end of Yuan Dynasty, and established the Ming Empire with Nanjing as its capital. At that time, Liu Bowen, the chief adviser of Zhu Yuanzhang, was proficient in Feng Shui. He thinks that Nanjing is the seat of Long Mai in Ming Dynasty, so Nanjing should be the capital of Ming Dynasty.

? Zhu Yuanzhang could not have won the world without Liu Bowen's guidance, so he naturally believed Liu Bowen's point of view. So the capital of the Ming dynasty should be heaven, which is Nanjing.

? Why is it called Yingtian? Liu Bowen told Zhu Yuanzhang that Zhu Yuanzhang was invited by God to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, which means "Mukden Shipping". God told me to destroy you. Therefore, it is necessary to set its capital in Yingtian.

? So, why choose Nanjing as Yingtian? Because Liu Bowen thinks: Nanjing is the front position of the Yangtze River and Long Mai. Liu Bowen is not only proficient in the art of war, but also recognized by later generations as the half-Analects of Confucius governing the world.

? Legend has it that when Liu Bowen was young, a mysterious old man gave him a book, which was The Analects of Confucius. And Liu Bowen can use half of The Analects of Confucius to help Zhu Yuanzhang defeat various heroes and unify the world. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang named him Prime Minister, so he ruled the world with half of The Analects.

? So, Liu Bowen is such a great person. Is it true what he said? We don't know. However, when we are at school, we can know. When the world was in chaos at the end of Yuan Dynasty, Liu Bowen could meet Zhu Yuanzhang, just as Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang. Like a duck to water, it is popular all over the world.

? So, why did Liu Bowen let Zhu Yuanzhang make Nanjing its capital? Bian Xiao thinks this is definitely not as simple as Long Mai Feng Shui. More importantly, this was caused by the situation at that time. First of all, Liu Bowen is a clever man. He knew that although Yuan Shundi was deported to the north, the north was relatively less stable than the south. If Zhu Yuanzhang makes Beiping his capital, it is estimated that he will fall into turmoil. And although Yuan Shundi withdrew from the Central Plains, there were hundreds of thousands of elite teachers, which posed a great threat to the north, so the north was not chosen as the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Another reason is that Zhu Yuanzhang won the world and fought in the south and the north. In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang's base is in the south, and he should also set his capital in Nanjing. If he leaves his lair and goes to the north, it is naturally not the first choice. So, what do you think is Zhu Yuanzhang's possible purpose of making Nanjing his capital?
