Did the Anhui Provincial Capital intend to build it in Bengbu?

This is a very tangled issue. In the early days of liberation, Bengbu was the first prefecture-level city to be established in Anhui Province. Based on the economy, urban construction and population at that time, Bengbu was definitely the largest city in Anhui. The city. Compared with Wuhu, the second largest city in Anhui at that time, the urban population and industrial types were twice as large. Therefore, when the liberation was just launched, there was a very big debate between Bengbu and Wuhu about the choice of Anhui provincial capital, because of the styles of these two cities. They are different. One is an immigrant city in the north and the other is a commercial city in the south. Both have certain advantages and have great leadership capabilities in Anhui Province.

If we consider the development and future development of Anhui at that time, If you choose one of these two cities, maybe, just maybe, Anhui's development will not be like this.

Because one of the two cities is located in the north and the other in the south. At that time, these two cities also mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources to lobby for the position of provincial capital. According to the idea of ????the top leaders of the country at that time, they planned to set up the provincial capital in Bengbu, because Bengbu had the Tianjin-Puzhou Railway, transportation, and industrial economy at that time and was relatively developed. However, because Bengbu was in northern Anhui, its control over southern Anhui was weak, and the central government was not very confident about southern Anhui at that time. I was hesitant about it, but at that time there was no suitable city in southern Anhui except Wuhu. However, the transportation in Wuhu at that time was very inconvenient except for water transportation. Especially the transportation in northern Anhui has no advantage. It’s not convenient to go to Beijing!

At this time, the leader of the central government named Deng said at a meeting about the capital of Anhui Province that there was a dispute between the north and the south. It was at this meeting that it was basically decided to establish the capital of Anhui Province on the basis of Hefei City at that time.

The historical reason why Bengbu was not the capital of Anhui Province at that time is that Bengbu was used as the capital of Anhui Province during the period of domestic warlord war and Japanese occupation. This is all disgraceful history.
