In ancient times, after the emperor ascended the throne, he would choose to move the capital, often the capital city is the economic and political center of a country, before the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor will establish the capital city of Chang'an or Luoyang, because both cities are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, rich in land, rich in grain.
After the Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty, they turned around and established the capital city in Beijing, because the Mongols were born in the north and could not adapt to the environment of the south, after that, the capital cities of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were all in Beijing, and the center of political power was also located in north China, the Jiangnan region was the economic center, and the Grand Canal provided convenience for north-south transportation.
If you choose to move the capital, Nanjing, which is often located in the Jiangnan region, is the first choice, so does Sun Yat-sen think so? In 1920, Zhang Taiyan went to visit Sun Yat-sen, and the two talked about the issue of moving the capital, and Sun Yat-sen said: "Therefore, those who use these three capitals, the headquarters of the headquarters is Wuchang, the plot is Xi'an, and the plot of the continent is Yili, depending on its rules and conditions. ”
Sun Yat-sen believed that Wuchang was the best place to establish his headquarters, but if he wanted to govern Xinjiang and Mongolia well, he would choose Xi'an, and although the economy of the Guanzhong Plain was not as good as that of the south, sun Yat-sen's industrial atmosphere in the West was very rich in mining in Shaanxi, and after the capital was established, it was not only possible to develop the economy, but also to develop military strength.
But if you want to be the hegemon of Asia, you have to "seek a continent then Ili", Ili has the famous nine cities of Ili, one of which is the key place in the nine cities, move the capital to Ili, that is, move the capital to Yining, then can the capital of Yining really allow China to dominate Asia?
Yining was called Ningyuan in ancient times, the first establishment of one of the nine cities divided was in 1762, in fact, in the Warring States period, Yining has begun to be active on the map, the Han Dynasty, the development of the Silk Road, Yining to connect Central Asia and West Asia, connecting South Asia and Europe, Yining is not only a bustling commercial place, but also a strategic place in Eurasia.
From the time of Emperor Xuan of Han in 60 BC to the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Yining was the political and economic center of the Western Regions, and the Mongolian Dzungar Department was called XiongmoXi, and he transferred the political center to the Ili River Valley, and Yining became the place where Dzungar, Heshuot, Durbert, and Turgut were exchanged.
Although Yining may be economically inferior to the southern region, but there are rich soil resources, many types of soil, suitable for planting various types of crops, Yining also has rich mineral resources, located in the Ili River Valley, located on the oasis, water resources are relatively abundant, animal husbandry is developed.
Although Sun Yat-sen's ideals were good, during the Republic of China period, due to the invasion of Western powers, it was very difficult to develop Yining, but Sun Yat-sen's vision was indeed far-sighted, and Yining's agriculture was now very developed.
Industry also has a certain foundation, in terms of international trade, close to Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, there are airports, and the city is relatively close, I believe that The economy of Yining will be better and better.
