The Viceroy of Min-Zhe, fully referred to in Chinese as the Governor-General of Taiwan, Fujian and Zhejiang Provinces and Surrounding Areas Overseeing Military Affairs and Food Production, Manager of Waterways, Director of Civil Affairs, was one of eight Viceroys in China proper during the Qing dynasty. The Viceroy of Min-Zhe had jurisdiction over Fujian, Taiwan and Zhejiang provinces. Fujian and Taiwan were once the combined province of Fujian (abbreviated Min in Chinese). Historians hold the view that: "Quanzhou was the most important port in China before the rise of Shanghai in the mid-19th century, so arresting pirates was main task of the Viceroy of Min-Zhe".
