The Viceroy of Zhili was the first official of the Qing Dynasty, with a vast jurisdiction, involving today's four provinces of Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi and Henan, playing an important role in defending Gyeonggi, so the Qing court attached great importance to this position, the general viceroy was Zheng Erpin, only the viceroy of direct subordination was promoted to congyipin, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Yuan Shikai and other people have all been directly subordinate to the governor of the position.
These people are all well-known figures in China's modern history, and they were all in power and opposition. It can be seen that this position is prepared for the emperor's confidants, and only ministers who are very trusted by the emperor can have the qualifications for this position.
How much authority does the Governor directly subordinate to him have? It can be seen from the full name of the governor directly subordinate to the governor that the full name of the directly subordinate governor is "the governor directly subordinate to the localities, the governor of the military affairs, grain, management of the river and patrol affairs", in addition to managing local affairs, the directly subordinate governor also has to manage the local military affairs, grain and salary, but also to manage the river.
However, the governor directly under the governor is mainly flood control and drought control, regardless of the water transport, because there is another water transport governor. The three provinces of Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan in the Qing Dynasty did not have inspectors, so the governor directly under the governor concurrently served as the inspector of these three provinces, and could coordinate the mobilization of the troops of these three provinces. That's pretty awesome.
Although the governor was directly subordinate to the world, he really could not control the Shuntianfu Yin. According to the official system of the Qing Dynasty, the prefect should be from the four pin officials, and the ShunTianfu should be the same according to the reason, but in fact, the Yin of The Shun Tianfu is a zheng sanpin, equivalent to the grade of the provincial official. Why?
Let's look at the scope of Suncheon's jurisdiction. The Qing Dynasty inherited the system of the Ming Dynasty, and divided the capital and its surrounding areas as Shuntianfu, which mainly governed the land at the foot of Tianzi, so the rank was higher than other prefects. There is also a reason for the high level, after all, the main service objects of Suncheonfu are the ministers and emperors of the DPRK, and if the grade is too low, it is not conducive to the work, so the grade of this position is raised.
The Suncheon Fu Yin was directly responsible to the emperor in the leadership system, so it was necessary to raise the rank. This is why since ancient times people have wanted to be officials around the emperor.
The daily work of Suncheon Fu Yin was to maintain law and order in the capital, manage the daily affairs of the capital, and negotiate with the imperial court ministers about ceremonial activities such as state sacrifices and ceremonies. To maintain social order in the capital, it was necessary to coordinate with the Nine Gate Governors and other departments, so The Shuntianfu Yin often dealt with various high-ranking officials. In addition, Suncheon Province has a privilege in handling criminal cases, and it can directly accept complaints from the whole country without going through the Punishment Department, which gives it the nickname of "Small Punishment Department".
Both the Viceroy of Zhili and The Governor of Suncheon received special attention and love from the Emperor because of their special geographical location, and both had higher ranks than ministers of the same rank. In addition, most of these two positions were concurrently held by important officials of the imperial court, which was naturally based on the consideration of seniority, contribution and popularity, which showed the special and important nature of these two controls.
From the above analysis, it can be seen that the viceroy directly subordinate to Yipin has no authority over the Shuntianfu Yin of Zhengsanpin because their responsibilities are divided differently and they cooperate in their work, but the main thing is to perform their duties, do their own thing, and cannot interfere with each other. In short, The Suncheon Fu Yin mainly provided daily services to the emperor and his ministers from the core, maintaining law and order in the capital and ensuring the stability of the capital. The viceroy was mainly defending Gyeonggi on the periphery, encircling the security of the emperor and the imperial court, while also maintaining local order and stability.
