The Spatiality of Qing Power in Southern Fujian

The governing institutions that eventually caught Shi Hou in their nets were - like the smuggling network Shi operated - the product of human interactions with space. Below is a collection of the four most important sites in the political geography of southern Fujian:

Xiamen, where the Xinghua-Quanzhou-Yongchun Circuit Intendant was housed together with the Admiral (Shuishi tidu) of the Fujian Navy.

Quanzhou, where the Quanzhou Prefect as well as the Jinjiang County Magistrate had their offices.

Fuzhou, the site of the provincial capital and offices of the Fujian Governor and Fujian-Zhejiang Governor General.

Beijing, imperial capital and site of the offices of the Board of Punishments and the Forbidden City, where the Emperor lived and worked.
