Governor is the title of the chief executive in charge of the administration, economy and military affairs of one province or several provinces in the Qing Dynasty, and also has the reputation of "constitutional governance" and "governing Taiwan". Most official ranks are positive two products, but they can also be assigned to subordinates through the title of minister of war. When it comes to the governor, you have to mention its sworn enemy-the governor. In fact, the main difference between the two is that the governor is only in charge of the government affairs of one province, while the governor is in charge of several provinces, and at the same time he is in charge of the military besides government affairs.
How many governors were there in Qing Dynasty? Frankly speaking, there are not many, only eight (one was added later), and the status of these eight governors is different. Give you a brief talk.
1. Governor of Zhili, which governs Zhili Province (now part of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Henan and Shandong) and Baoding; The highest position, as the head of the governor, and later the governor of Zhili was also the minister of Beiyang, with greater power.
The second is the Governor of Liangjiang, which governs Jiangsu, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces, and governs Nanjing, ranking second. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Governor of Liangjiang and Minister of Nanyang also had increasing power.
3. Governor Huguang governs Hunan and Hubei provinces and Wuchang.
4. The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is in charge of Guangdong and Guangzhou. Huguang and Guangdong have the same status, and the governor has the same power, but the status of Guangdong and Guangxi became more and more important in the late Qing Dynasty, above Huguang.
5. Governors of Fujian and Zhejiang, Fujian and Zhejiang, and Fuzhou.
6. Governor of Sichuan, Chengdu, Sichuan Province.
7. Among the governors of Shaanxi-Gansu, the status of Shaanxi-Gansu and An is slightly lower than that of Fujian and Zhejiang. When Zuo was the governor of Shaanxi-Gansu in the late Qing Dynasty, the status of Shaanxi-Gansu was only below Zhili and Liangjiang.
8. Governor Yungui governed Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, Kunming, with the lowest status, and was the last governor.
Nine, in the late Qing Dynasty, the governors of the three northeastern provinces were added, which governed Heilongjiang, Jilin and Fengtian provinces and ruled Shengjing.
Celebrities who served as the governor of Zhili include Li Wei in Yongzheng period, Liu Yong in Qianlong period and Li Hongzhang in Guangxu period. Among them, Liu Yong only worked for 20 days, while Li Hongzhang served as governor of Zhili for three times, and one term was 25 years. Li Hongzhang also became the longest-serving governor in history of qing dynasty. The shortest is Zhang, who is the brother-in-law of Yuan Shikai's second brother. After only ten days as the governor of Zhili, he stepped down because of the demise of the Qing Dynasty. ...
If the governor of Zhili is the most powerful of all governors, then the governor of Liangjiang is the richest of all governors. The areas under the jurisdiction of Governor Liangjiang are today's Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi and Shanghai. These areas have always been an important source of national tax revenue. Celebrities who have been governors of the two rivers are no worse than governors of Zhili. Yes, Lin Zexu, Zeng Guofan, Zuo, Li Hongzhang, Liu Kunyi.
