Jiangxi fell within Yangzhou Province as described in the Tribute of Yu. Under the Ming, Jiangxi had a provincial governor, a provincial administration commission, and a separate governor for southern Ganzhou. The early Qing retained this arrangement. In Shunzhi 4, a governor-general for Jiangnan, Henan, and Jiangxi was appointed. (His headquarters were at Jiangning. ) In the sixth year, Henan was dropped from his jurisdiction. In the ninth year, the headquarters were transferred to Nanchang. (The seat was soon moved back. ) In the eighteenth year, a separate governor-general for Jiangxi was created. In Kangxi 4, the earlier arrangement was restored. The Southern Ganzhou governorship had already been abolished in the third year, and that became permanent. In Qianlong 8, Lianhua Subprefecture was established in Ji'an. In the nineteenth year, Ningdu County in Ganzhou was raised to a directly-administered department.

Four railways were planned: the Nanchang–Jiujiang line would run from Jiujiang through Nanchang and Ji'an to southern Ganzhou in three sections, intended to link with Guangdong; other lines would connect Rui and Yuan with Hunan, Fu and Jian with Fujian, and Guang and Xin with Zhejiang. Three branch lines were also planned. For shipping, Jiujiang served as the port where Yangzi steamers called.
