of China
. The Viceroy of Liangjiang had jurisdiction over the provinces of Jiangsu

(South of the Yangtze), the province was known, along with Jiangxi (west of the Yangtze) as the two jiangs, hence the name "Liangjiang". Chinese historians often rank the Viceroy of Zhili
as the most honorable and powerful, and the Viceroy of Liangjiang as the richest of the eight.
