Jinan Fu Cheng, the first of the six houses in Qilu, built a city in the Han Dynasty, established a state in the Jin Dynasty and a government in the Song Dynasty.

Jinan is named because it is located in the south of Jishui. Jishui originates in Henan, crosses Shandong and enters the Bohai Sea, which is roughly parallel to the flow direction of the Yellow River. Jishui has a very prominent position in ancient times. It is called Sidu together with the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Huai River. Compared with the five mountains, many cities along the coast are also named because of Jishui, such as Jiyuan, Jinan, Jiyang and Jining.

Building a city in the Han Dynasty refers to Jinan as an administrative division term in the Western Han Dynasty. The government was established in the Song Dynasty. In the sixth year of Zongzheng he of the Song Dynasty, the former Qi state was upgraded to Jinan government, and the government established a calendar City. This is the beginning of the government's governance, and Qi state is also a city. In the dream of heaven by Li He, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, the poem said "nine cigarettes in the distant Qi State, and one cup of sea water pours", which evolved from this poem. Qi State in the poem originally refers to China, and because Jinan was called Qi State in ancient times, it refers to Jinan.

In the Jin Dynasty, Jinan government was still located here, belonging to Shandong east road. At this time, Xiaoqing River was dug in the north of the city, leading directly to the sea, making Jinan an important salt transportation distribution center, which had a significant impact on the development of local economy in future generations.

At the time of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Jinan was still a hometown of cultural prosperity. At that time, Yuan Haowen wrote praises such as "admiring the good landscape of Jinan" and "intending to be a native of Jinan".

However, Jinan was not the political center of Shandong at that time. The concept of Shandong region was formed in the Jin Dynasty. The Jin people set up Shandong East Road and Shandong West Road. The East Road ruled Yidu and the West Road ruled Dongping. Later, Jinan replaced Yidu and Dongping because of its superior geographical location, developed economy and prosperous culture, and became the newly established Shandong political envoy Both the command and inspection departments are stationed, and Jinan has become the capital of Shandong, which continues to this day.

Since Jinan became a provincial capital, the weather is different from that in the past, mainly reflected in the specifications of the jurisdiction and Fucheng.

In terms of jurisdiction, the scope of Jinan government in this dynasty is very large. Jinan government has four states and 26 counties. Today, most of Tai'an, Laiwu, Dezhou and Binzhou are under the jurisdiction of Jinan.

As the capital of Shandong Province, Jinan is the first of the six prefectures in Qilu. The specification of Jinan is far higher than that of hanlicheng County, Jin Jinan County, Tang Qizhou city and Jinan prefectural city in Song Dynasty.

Before this dynasty, the city wall of Jinan was an earth city wall. In the fourth year of emperor Hongwu, the imperial court carried out a large-scale renovation of Jinan City, turned the original earth city wall into a brick city wall, strengthened and thickened it, which was the beginning of the construction of Jinan City.

The Jinan city built at that time had a circumference of 12 Li and 48 Zhang and a height of 3 Zhang and 2 feet, that is, its wall was nearly 11 meters high and 17 meters wide, the moat was more than 16 meters wide and 10 meters deep, there were 33050 crenels on the city, and there were several turrets, enemy towers and turrets. This kind of tall and thick urban defense can be called as solid as gold.

There are four gates in Fucheng, of which the east gate is called Qichuan gate; The west gate is called Luoyuan gate; The north gate is Huibo gate; The south gate is called Shuntian gate. Among them, the south gate is in the middle, the north gate is to the East, the east gate is to the north and the west gate is to the south. It is commonly known as the four gates wrong, which plays a role in collecting wealth and Qi in Feng Shui. There is a proverb in old Jinan called "the four gates don't get out of the throne", which means that. Among the four gates, the north gate, as a water gate, is not accessible. The other three gates are respectively built with an urn and guarded by the garrison.

The area surrounded by these four gates is the famous Shandong Jinan Fucheng with a population of hundreds of thousands.

It can be said that after this large-scale renovation, the pattern of Jinan City was roughly determined. The newly-built Jinan City included Daming Lake, the huge German palace and provincial, provincial and county governments, as well as military guards, warehouses, temples, shops and houses. It was among the top spears in the provincial capital at that time.

During the Jingnan period of that year, Zhu Di, king of Yan, set up troops. He led a large army to the south from Shandong, invincible, but he broke his blood at the bottom of Jinan City, suffered a lot, and almost came to an end.

The city wall of Jinan house is the highest and largest among the six houses in Qilu. Therefore, Lao Yongjia relies on the city wall. They can block the impact of Liu's army. They are also relieved. However, at present, they are seriously short of manpower, so they must recruit enough manpower to defend the city immediately.

This recruitment has to mention one problem, that is, the problem of food and pay, which is a very serious problem. This time, in order to make Liu Zeqing move his nest, Lao Yongjia mobilized the rich families and people in the city and got a lot of money and food. Only then did he send Liu Zeqing away, a man eating tiger, and let him go to harm the three East houses, Everyone thought that once the tiger left, everyone would have a good life for a while. Who knew that the good life would be over in a few days. Lao Yongjia was forced to summon all the generals to listen to orders and ask these gentry and rich businessmen to donate more money and food.

As soon as Lao Yongjia asked these gentry and rich businessmen to donate money, they complained one after another. They were also really bitter. Usually, they were exploited and squeezed by Liu Zeqing and didn't earn much. This time, in order to send Liu Zeqing away, they also donated a large amount of money and food. Now they are asked to donate. Where can they get money, Li Yangxing, the richest man in the city, said, "even the landlords have no surplus food!"

Lao Yongjia now has a request, but he can only be humble. He said, "Li Weng, if we don't put together enough money and food and recruit more soldiers and strong men to guard the city gate, we will become ghosts under the sword when the city is broken."

Li Yangxing had no choice. He sighed and said, "My Li family has been loyal to the imperial court for generations. Now the imperial court is in crisis. Naturally, I want to work for the imperial court. So I donated 5000 liang of silver. All the servants in the court, up to 70 and down to 13, went up the wall."

Even the richest man Li Yangxing said so and set an example. Other rich businessmen and gentry had no choice but to donate money and materials one after another and subscribed for a certain amount of money, food and manpower. Lao Yong's family called everyone this time not only for money and food, but also for people, because his officers and soldiers were seriously insufficient, so he had to transfer strong men from all major families, To guard the city gate.

These people were forced to agree, but Li Yangxing pointed out: "now Jinan City is in danger. As the richest man in the city, Prince De's mansion, he should express something?"

Zhu Jianshu, the first king of Germany, was the second son of Yingzong Zhuqi town. He became a vassal of Jinan in the third year of Chenghua. Prince De's residence accounted for three out of ten in the city, which was the largest architectural complex in Jinan at that time.

Jinan's king of Germany has a huge pedigree. The king of Germany (Prince) has inherited six generations. The prince of Germany, sun Zhongjun, has been granted a total of 15 titles. There are countless titles under him, such as Zhenguo general, Fuguo general, Fengguo general, Zhenguo lieutenant, Fuguo lieutenant and Fengguo lieutenant.

The so-called four families in Shandong, the Confucius family in Qufu, the de palace in Jinan, the Lu palace in Yanzhou, and the Liu family in Linqing.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the life of local vassal kings was "extravagant", which increased the burden of local people in supply and servitude, and had a negative impact on the local economy. Nowadays, many people often call it parasites and malignant tumors.

In fact, the de Wang family is not good for nothing. In more than 170 years of being stationed in Jinan, successive de kings have built or rebuilt many buildings, such as Qianfo Mountain Temple, Arctic temple, Bixia palace, Taiping temple, Houzaimen Guandi temple, Xingxiu temple, fire temple and so on; In addition, ancient books such as the book of the former Han Dynasty, Yunzhuang Yuefu, Confucian family, Zhang Wenzhong's family instructions and Zhang Wenzhong's poetry collection have been published and engraved, which have made a certain contribution to Jinan.

Prince De's residence is the most powerful place in Jinan. Even the domineering Liu Zeqing dare not bully here or come here to extort money. He is the only force not affected by Liu Zeqing. Go! Once everyone raised money to send Liu Zeqing away, and the German palace didn't pay either.

This time, the rebels in the East Fuliu Yuanqiao besieged the city and were about to attack the city. As the largest force in the city, King De's house, they should show that if they did not set an example, everyone would not have a good life when the city was broken.

Zhu Youshu, the contemporary king of Germany, was the second son of the former generation of King Duan Wang Shu, the sixth generation of king of Germany. He has been granted the title of king of Germany since Chongzhen three years ago.

He heard that Liu Zeqing led a large army to the east third house to levy the East fufu Liu Yuanqiao. He was defeated and captured. Now the rebels have arrived at the city of Jinan, surrounded the city of Jinan and are about to attack the city. He was also terrified. However, this German King is an understanding man. When he heard that the governor and the chief envoy came to ask him for money, he did not hesitate. He said: "The king is willing to donate 100000 liang of silver as military capital."

King De's attitude is very good. If he is a vassal of another city, he doesn't care whether you live or die in your place. What's my business? If you can't defend the city, you are the first to lose your head, followed by me. King De's doing this is very good, but Lao Yongjia is a person who can make an inch, he said: "Your Highness, there is not enough food and pay, and there must be enough manpower. We are seriously short of manpower. There are so many strong men in the palace, so we should go to the city to fight." there are many servants in the palace, at least more than 2000 strong men. If these 2000 strong men join, they will greatly reduce their pressure.
