Sun Yat-sen was a great revolutionary in our country, bent on saving the motherland, letting the people live a good life, and caring for the people, and when the founding of New China was shortly after, he would face the problem of fixing the capital, so everyone began to discuss one after another, and there were several places that became the alternative list.
According to history, Sun Yat-sen proposed to set the capital in Wuchang, this place has always been a revolutionary base area, its own geographical conditions are superior, conducive to rapid development, there is another place is Xi'an, because we all know that Xi'an is the ancient capital, the historical accumulation is deep, which is also an important reason for deeply attracting everyone, more special is that once considered the capital in Ili, what is the reason for this? The matter of fixing the capital was more cautious, so Sun Yat-sen and other revolutionary friends discussed it one after another, made many proposals and statements, and then decided on it, and when they took Ili as one of the goals, they personally went to the local area to see the geographical environment and so on. Whether it is transportation, geographical environment, or other available resources, Wuchang is very suitable for Dingdu, and it has long been a revolutionary base area, so it is more conducive to taking root here.
In fact, Beijing was also one of the alternatives at that time, but the political environment of all parties at that time was more complicated and it was not suitable to set the capital here, so Beijing was never mentioned later. Some people are also very interested in Shanghai, the advantage is that the sea, foreign trade is convenient, but look at China's maritime military strength is a bit poor, is not very safe, so it is not considered, to say, Sun Yat-sen is still the most interested in Ili, his starting point is that China wants to be rich and strong, first of all, it should be outstanding in Asia, so we should pay special attention to the border, if the capital is Ili, it can effectively avoid border turmoil, and there is, you can rely on the historical Silk Road to strengthen cooperation between neighboring countries. Strengthen peripheral relationships.
Idealized, Sun Yat-sen thought that Ili was the right choice for the capital, but the actual situation was that the mountains were high and the roads were far away, the transportation was inconvenient, whether it was letters or telegrams, if there was really war, this speed was very delayed, so later did not mention this place again, combined with many considerations, and finally it was all in Nanjing. Many things have to be done with thought and weigh the pros and cons to choose the most practical solution.
