Did Zhu Yuanzhang move the capital in Ming Dynasty?

Not moving.

It's Judy, the Ming emperor. In the eighteenth year of Yongle, Judy, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, moved the capital of the Ming Dynasty from Nanjing to Beijing.

During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the capital of the unified dynasty was in the Central Plains. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty's unification of the whole country, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, planned to move the capital to the north. In the first year of Hongwu, the capital of song dynasty was Beijing and Jinling was Nanjing, imitating the stories of Zhou and Tang dynasties. In the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital in Fengyang, his hometown, and ordered Jiangnan immigrants. However, Kaifeng and Fengyang are both war-torn and dilapidated places, and it is difficult to bear the heavy responsibility of the capital. Zhu Yuanzhang gave up his plan to move them. In the eleventh year of Hongwu, he stopped in Beijing and changed Nanjing to be the capital.

Nanjing Palace was built by filling the lake. After the completion, due to the subsidence of the surface, it gradually formed a trend of high in the south and low in the north, which was an ominous sign in geomantic omen. In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Ming Taizu sent Prince Zhu Biao to inspect Guanzhong and prepared to move the capital to Xi 'an. However, the next year, Zhu Biao died of illness, which dealt a heavy blow to Ming Taizu and made it unwilling to move the capital again.
