At that time, the Qing dynasty entered the customs and implemented the governor system. Of course, the most important governor is the governor of Zhili, because the governor of Zhili directly governs the important capital of the capital, which can be said to be an important position. Moreover, he also served as the minister of Beiyang in the late Qing Dynasty, which can be said to be very powerful. Of course, other provinces will also have governor systems, such as the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi. Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. But they are usually not responsible for the military affairs of a province. Usually it is in charge of military affairs in two provinces or even more. Therefore, their status is also very important. In Qing Dynasty, local officials took the governor as the highest position.
Many famous officials who can perform the duties of the governor, such as Rong Lu and Yuan Shikai, have all served as governors. Moreover, at that time, they even had Beiyang ministers, which can be said to be very powerful. They all had self-esteem and could not obey the command of the Qing government at all. Of course, Yuan Shikai is the most famous, because he finally overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty. It ended thousands of years of feudal rule in China.
Therefore, the position of governor is equivalent to our current governor, but like the governors of some provinces, his power may be greater, such as the governor of Zhili. Because his position is quite important, he is responsible for directly guarding the capital, so he is generally responsible for the emperor's cronies. So in this way, we can ensure our own safety.
