Historically, its capital Nanjing was a short-lived dynasty. What happened to the king of Jinling?

Wang? F, disembarking in Yizhou, Yu Gui has languished in Nanjing. The long Zhang Qian chain sank to the bottom of the river, and a flag was lowered on the stone wall. "From Soochow to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the National Government, although Nanjing is known as the" city of ten dynasties ",why are the regimes with this capital short-lived? Finally, the Amin dynasty with a history of more than 200 years established its capital here, or moved it long ago. What's the mystery?

According to records, after Chu Weiwang's death, he heard that there was a royal god here, which impressed him deeply. He sent someone specially to bury him. A more widespread saying is that Qin Shihuang heard that Jinling had imperial spirit, so he buried it by casting gold to cut off the imperial spirit, and sent people to cut off the long ridge and draw water from the river to vent the imperial spirit. This river is Qinhuai River. With these legends, people believe that as long as the dynasty whose capital is here ruled for decades, God will show the lack of balance of the royal family.

Folk geomantic theory is the most popular, but it is also the most unreasonable. To say that the life span of the dynasties with Nanjing as their capital was short, we should first look at the form in which the dynasties with Nanjing as their capital built Nanjing. Except for Ming Taizu, which made Nanjing its capital for a short time, all other countries with Nanjing as their capital were separatist regimes, and the Republic of China only formally unified the whole country.

Except in the early Ming Dynasty, other dynasties with Nanjing as their capital did not really unify the whole country. There are powerful political forces in the north. Historically, China's cavalry were all in the north, and there were no beans and horses in the south. The cavalry is extremely weak. Infantry can't use infantry to unify the whole country, and there can be no victory or defeat. They were on the defensive and were eventually eaten by the northern regime. It can be said that its short life is not due to the regular Nanjing, but because it has no cavalry and is militarily weaker than the north.

The general trend of the world is that unification is the mainstream, and the one-party dominant regime will eventually be merged and eliminated, and finally reunification will be realized. Except Mingdu, the north will unify the south without exception. The reason why the South was able to defeat the North in the Ming Dynasty was that after the unification of China in the Yuan Dynasty, the South no longer controlled horses, but could get war horses. Xu Da and Chang Yuchun defeated the Yuan Army by cavalry. During the separatist regime, the northern regime imposed a strict horse embargo on the south.

In the unified dynasty, whether it was Qin and Han Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties or Yuan and Qing Dynasties, Chang 'an, Luoyang and Beijing were all chosen as capitals in order to control the whole country in the middle. Because the threat of China always comes from the Mongolian Plateau in the north, and there is no strong foreign invasion in the south, which is also the strategy of "the son of heaven protects the country" in the Ming Dynasty. Before Judy, although Ming Taizu had never given up the plan to move the capital for 3 1 year, after his death for more than 20 years, Ming Chengzu finally realized his father's long-cherished wish to move the capital to Nanjing.
