In the Qing Dynasty, the governor and governor, as the feudal officials, were in charge of the military administration, civil affairs, financial endowments, and criminal names of one province, two provinces, and even many provinces on behalf of the imperial court and the emperor.
And we will also find such a feature in the historical drama of the Qing Dynasty, that is, when promoting the governor and other feudal officials, they often have to add a bunch of titles, such as the governor often adds the title of the secretary of the military department and the right imperial history of the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, while the governor often adds the rank of the squire of the military department and the right deputy of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace.
So, as a feudal official like the governor, why did the imperial court add such and such titles to them? Of course, this is not just a casual play, but has deep considerations.
First of all, the purpose of the title is to improve the grade of the superintendent and make it easier to manage the local **. The governor and governor were respectively the second rank and the second rank according to their ranks, and after the addition of the rank of the secretary of the military department and the squire of the military department, they were promoted to the first rank and the second rank.
Second, the title is added to show that the governor is exercising state power on behalf of the Son of Heaven. We can see that the titles of governors are all titles of court officials in the imperial court. In fact, the governor and governor themselves are not strictly local**, at first they were temporary ** on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and later gradually became the local senior administrator, such a title can show the prestige of the Son of Heaven even more.
Third, the purpose of the title is to make it easier for the governor to control the local military and civil power. We look at the position of the governor and the governor, one is the title of the secretary of the military department or the title of the squire of the military department, which is to facilitate the supervision and control of the highest power of the local military, and the title of the right capital of the Gadu Procuratorate is to facilitate the supervision and control of the power of the local supervision of the hundred officials.
The fact that the imperial court and the emperor gave the title of governor itself showed a kind of sacrosanctity. Governors and governors, on the other hand, do not necessarily receive these titles, or not all of them. For example, the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War or the title of Squire of the Ministry of War also requires the application of the Ministry of Officials and the approval of the Emperor.
