Daming and the success of the second Northern Expedition in the Republic of China; The Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Song Dynasty and the Three Northern Expeditions failed.
At the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, all the ministers talked about taking Jiankang as the capital to restore the Central Plains. They regretted that Song Gaozong had no intention of the Northern Expedition and decided to go to Lin 'an, but forced by public opinion, they decided to make Jinling the capital.
