As we all know, there is a famous historical and cultural site in Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province - Nanjing Presidential Palace . However, friends who have been to the Nanjing Presidential Palace should find that there are many ruins of the Taiping Heavenly King's Palace (Hong Xiuquan Palace) in the Nanjing Presidential Palace. The predecessor of the Nanjing Presidential Palace is the Heavenly King's Palace. So how did the Tianwang Mansion of Hong Xiuquan become the Kuomintang Nanjing Presidential Mansion?
1853 (the third year of Xianfeng), Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing led the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army captured the Qing Dynasty Jiangning Prefecture (now Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province) and established its capital here, changing Jiangning Prefecture to Tianjing. After establishing the capital of Tianjing, Hong Xiuquan wanted to build a grand Heavenly King Mansion for himself. At that time, there were two best places in the city of Tianjing: one was , the Ming Forbidden City ; the other was the location of the Liangjiang Governor's Office in the Qing Dynasty.
Hong Xiuquan finally decided to build the Heavenly King's Mansion on the former site of the Governor of Liangjiang of the Qing Dynasty. The Tianwang Mansion was extremely large, and its construction project was not completely completed until the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed. In 1864 (the third year of Tongzhi, the Hunan Army conquered Tianjing and looted and set fire at the Heavenly King's Mansion. The main building of the Heavenly King Mansion was basically burned down, but many buildings were still preserved (which shows how big the Heavenly King Mansion is).
In the ninth year of Tongzhi (1870), the Qing Dynasty rebuilt the Governor's Office on the original site of the Tianwang Mansion, and the first Governor of Liangjiang who lived in the original Tianwang Mansion was the Ma Xinyi in the "Suppressing Horse Case". In addition to Ma Xinyi, famous officials in the late Qing Dynasty who served as the governor of Liangjiang, including Zeng Guofan, Peng Yulin, Zeng Guoquan, , Liu Kunyi, , Shen Baozhen, , Zuo Zongtang, , Zhang Zhidong, , Zhang Zhidong, , etc., who served as the governor of Liangjiang, all worked and lived in the original Tianwang Mansion in the late Qing Dynasty.
1911 After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution , the revolutionary party decided to establish a temporary government in Nanjing. In 1912, the Provisional Government of the Republic of China was officially established, and Mr. Sun Yat-sen became the interim president. After the establishment of the Provisional Government, it decided to change the former Liangjiang Governor's Office into the Presidential Palace. Mr. Sun Yat-sen moved into the Heavenly King's Mansion of his childhood idol Hong Xiuquan, until he gave up the throne of the Provisional President to Yuan Shikai .
1927, the rebellious revolutionary Chiang Kai-shek established Nanjing National Government . In order to show that he was the so-called "Prime Minister orthodoxy", Chiang Kai-shek set up the Presidential Office of the Nanjing National Government in Sun Yat-sen's interim presidential office that year. Therefore, Hong Xiuquan's Heavenly King's Mansion went through two stages: the Governor's Office of the Qing Dynasty and the Presidential Office of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China, and the Presidential Office of the Kuomintang's Provisional Government.
