How was Nanjing, the capital of Anhui Province, formed?

Because there is a joke that "if Anhui people go on strike for one day, Nanjing will be paralyzed". Indeed, shopping in Xinjiekou, seeing a doctor in Gulou Hospital, flying at Lukou Airport, Anhui people can be seen everywhere, and Nanjing has another identity-"Nanjing is the capital of Anhui".

Geographically, Nanjing is closer to Anhui. Although it is the capital of Jiangsu, Nanjing, located in the southwest corner, is surrounded by Chuzhou, Maanshan and Xuancheng in Anhui on three sides, just like an enclave in the hinterland of Anhui.

Precautions:

Historically, Anhui did take Nanjing as its capital.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Nanjing, the capital of Beijing, and its surrounding areas were called Zhili. At that time, Anhui and Jiangsu were both under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili.

After the Qing dynasty unified the whole country, Nanzhili was abolished and changed to Jiangnan Chengxuan Official Department, located in Nanjing.

Subsequently, the Qing Dynasty changed the Jiangnan Propaganda Department to jiangnan province, and the provincial capital was still located in Nanjing. At this time, as a part of jiangnan province, Anhui naturally took Nanjing as its capital.

In order to maintain the stability of the rule, the Qing Dynasty divided jiangnan province into two parts in 166 1 year. It is called "Jiangnan Right Minister" (Suzhou) in the east and "Jiangnan Zuo Minister" (Nanjing) in the west.
