The Taizu fathered sixteen sons. Empress Xiaoci bore Hong Taiji; Primary Consort Tongiya bore Beile Chuying the Wide Strategist and Prince Daishan of Li; Secondary Consort Fuca bore Mangultai and Degesi; the Great Consort of the Ula Nara clan bore Ajige, Prince Dorgon the Rui, and Prince Dodo the Yu; Side Consort Irgen Gioro bore Prince Abatai of Raoyu; a common consort of the Zhao clan bore Duke Abai; another of the Niuhuru bore General Tangudai and Duke Tubai; one of the Kamuhu Gioro bore Duke Babutai and General Babuhai; one of the Xilin Gioro bore Duke Laimubu; Feiyanggu alone is of unknown parentage.

廣略貝勒褚英，太祖第一子。歲戊戌，太祖命伐安楚拉庫路，取屯寨二十以歸。賜號洪巴圖魯，封貝勒。歲丁未，偕貝勒舒爾哈齊、代善徙瓦爾喀部蜚悠城新附之眾。軍夜行，陰晦，纛有光，舒爾哈齊疑不吉，欲班師，褚英與代善持不可。抵蜚悠城，收其屯寨五百戶，令扈爾漢衛以先行，烏喇貝勒布占泰以萬人邀之路。扈爾漢所部止二百人，褚英、代善策馬諭之曰：「上每征伐，皆以寡擊眾，今日何懼？且布占泰降虜耳，乃不能復縛之耶？」眾皆奮，因分軍夾擊，敵大敗，得其將常柱、瑚裡布，斬三千級，獲馬五千、甲三千。師還，上嘉其勇，錫號曰阿爾哈圖土門，譯言「廣略」。歲戊申三月，偕貝勒阿敏伐烏喇，克宜罕山城。布占泰與蒙古科爾沁貝勒翁阿岱合兵出烏喇二十里，望見我軍，知不可敵，乃請盟。

Beile Chuying the Wide Strategist was the Taizu's eldest son. In 1598 the Taizu sent him against the Antukura route; he returned with twenty fortified villages. He received the honorific Hongbatulu and was created a beile. In 1607 he joined Beiles Surhaci and Daishan in resettling the people of Fiyu City, newly submitted from the Walgiya tribes. Marching at night under a dark sky, they saw light upon the banner. Surhaci took it for a bad sign and wanted to turn back, but Chuying and Daishan would not hear of it. At Fiyu they absorbed five hundred households from the stockades and sent Hurhan ahead as escort; Ula Beile Bujantai blocked the road with ten thousand men. Hurhan had only two hundred men. Chuying and Daishan rode among them and cried, "The Khan always meets the many with the few—what is there to fear today? And Bujantai is a prisoner who once surrendered—can you not take him again?" The men took heart. Splitting their forces they struck from both sides, crushing the enemy. They captured the generals Changzhu and Hulibu, slew three thousand, and took five thousand horses and three thousand suits of armor. On their return the Taizu commended his bravery and granted him the title Arhatu Tumun—"Wide Strategist." In the third month of 1608 he joined Beile Amin against Ula and captured Yihan Mountain City. Bujantai joined Khorchin Beile Onggada of Mongolia and came twenty li out of Ula; sighting our army and seeing defeat inevitable, he sued for peace.

褚英屢有功，上委以政。不恤眾，諸弟及群臣愬於上，上浸疏之。褚英意不自得，焚表告天自訴，乃坐咀咒，幽禁，是歲癸丑。越二年乙卯閏八月，死於禁所，年三十六。明人以為諫上毋背明，忤旨被譴。褚英死之明年，太祖稱尊號。褚英子三，有爵者二：杜度、尼堪。

Chuying won repeated victories, and the Taizu placed the administration in his hands. He showed no regard for his followers; his brothers and the ministers all brought grievances to the Taizu, who slowly withdrew his favor. Chuying brooded; he burned a written appeal to Heaven to plead his innocence, and was found guilty of witchcraft and imprisoned—in 1613. Two years later, in the intercalary eighth month of 1615, he died in custody at the age of thirty-six. Among the Ming it was said he had urged the Taizu not to break with the Ming and, for defying the throne, had been punished. The year after Chuying died, the Taizu took a sovereign title. Chuying left three sons; two bore titles: Dudu and Nikan.

安平貝勒杜度，褚英第一子。初授台吉。天命九年，喀爾喀巴約特部台吉恩格德爾請內附，杜度從貝勒代善迎以歸，封貝勒。天聰元年，從貝勒阿敏、岳託等伐北韓，北韓國王李倧請和，諸貝勒許之。阿敏欲仍攻王京，岳託持不可；阿敏引杜度欲與留屯，杜度亦不可：卒定盟而還。三年十一月，從上伐明，薄明都，敗明援兵。又偕貝勒阿巴泰等略通州，焚其舟，至張家灣。十二月，師還，至薊州，明兵五千自山海關來援。與代善親陷陣，傷足，猶力戰，殲其眾，駐遵化。四年正月，明兵來攻，敗之，斬其副將，獲駝馬以千計。

Beile Dudu of Anping was Chuying's eldest son. He was first created a taiji. In the ninth year of Tianming, when Taiji Engede'er of the Kharachin Bayad asked to submit, Dudu went with Beile Daishan to receive him and was created a beile. In the first year of Tiancong he marched with Beiles Amin and Yoto against Joseon; King Li Jong sued for peace, and the beiles agreed. Amin wanted to press on to the capital, but Yoto would not agree; Amin tried to keep Dudu behind to garrison with him, but Dudu refused as well; they finally made peace and withdrew. In the eleventh month of the third year he joined the Taizu against the Ming, drew near the capital, and routed Ming reinforcements. With Beile Abatai and others he raided Tongzhou, burned the shipping there, and pushed on to Zhangjiawan. In the twelfth month, on the march home, they reached Jizhou as five thousand Ming troops advanced from Shanhaiguan. He and Daishan led the charge in person; though his foot was wounded he fought on, destroyed the enemy, and encamped at Zunhua. In the first month of the fourth year he repelled a Ming assault, killed their vice-commander, and took more than a thousand camels and horses.

七年，明將孔有德、耿仲明降，偕貝勒濟爾哈朗、阿濟格赴鎮江迎以歸。詔問伐明及北韓、察哈爾三者何先，杜度言：「北韓在掌握，可緩；察哈爾逼則徵之；若尚遠，宜取大同邊地，秣馬乘機深入。」八年，軍海州。崇德元年，進封安平貝勒。海州河口守將伊勒慎報明將造巨艦百餘截遼河，命杜度濟師，明兵卻，乃還。是冬，上伐北韓，杜度護輜重後行，略皮島、雲從島、大花島、鐵山。二年二月，次臨津江。前一日冰解，夕大雨雪，冰復合，師畢渡。上聞之曰：「天意也！」從睿親王多爾袞取江華島，敗其水師，遂克之。

In the seventh year, when Ming generals Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming defected, he went with Beiles Jirhalang and Ajige to Zhenjiang to receive them. When the court asked whether to strike the Ming, Joseon, or the Chahar first, Dudu answered: "Joseon is already within our grasp and can wait; if the Chahar grow pressing, levy troops against them; if they remain distant, seize the borderlands about Datong, rest the horses, and when the moment comes drive deep into Ming territory." In the eighth year he campaigned at Haizhou. In the first year of Chongde he was raised to Beile of Anping. Yileshen, commander at the Haizhou estuary, reported that the Ming were building over a hundred large ships to block the Liao River. Dudu was sent across with troops; the Ming withdrew, and he returned. That winter, on the campaign against Joseon, Dudu brought up the rear guarding the baggage train and raided Pidao, Yundao, Dahua, and Tieshan. In the second month of the second year the army halted on the Imjin. The ice had broken the day before; that evening came heavy snow, the river froze again, and the entire army crossed. Hearing of it the Taizu said, "Heaven wills it!" He followed Prince Dorgon the Rui to Ganghwa Island, routed the Korean fleet, and took the island.

三年，多爾袞將左翼、岳託將右翼伐明，杜度為岳託副。師進越密雲東牆子嶺，明兵迎戰，擊敗之。進攻牆子嶺堡，分軍破黑峪、古北口、黃崖口、馬蘭峪。岳託薨於軍，杜度總軍事。會多爾袞軍於通州河西，越明都至涿州，西抵山西，南抵濟南，克城二十，降其二。凡十六戰皆捷，殺總督以下官百餘，俘二十餘萬。還，出青山口，自太平寨奪隘行。四年四月，師還，賜駝一、馬二、銀五千，命掌禮部事。略錦州、寧遠。五年，代濟爾哈朗於義州屯田，刈錦州禾，遇明兵，敗之，克錦州台九、小凌河西台二。明總督洪承疇以兵四萬營杏山城外，偕豪格擊敗之，追薄壕而還，又殲運糧兵三百。往錦州誘明兵出戰，復擊敗之，獲大凌河海口船，追斬敵之犯義州者。冬，再圍錦州。六年，攻廣寧，敗松山、錦州援兵。以從多爾袞離城遠駐，遣軍私還，論削爵，詔罰銀二千。復圍錦州，敗明兵於松山。是秋，復從上伐明，留攻錦州。七年六月，薨。病革時，諸王貝勒方集篤恭殿議出征功罪，上聞之，為罷朝。喪還，遣大臣迎奠。雍正二年，立碑旌其功。

In the third year Dorgon led the left wing and Yoto the right against the Ming; Dudu was Yoto's second-in-command. The army crossed Qiangziling east of Miyun; the Ming came out to fight and were beaten. They assaulted Qiangziling Fort and sent detachments to break through Heiyu, Gubeikou, Huangyakou, and Malanyu. Yoto died on campaign, and Dudu took command of the army. He joined Dorgon west of Tongzhou, swept past the Ming capital to Zhuozhou, pushed west into Shanxi and south to Jinan, took twenty cities, and received two surrenders. In sixteen engagements they were unbeaten, killed more than a hundred officials down to the rank of governor-general, and took over two hundred thousand prisoners. On the return they exited by Qingshankou and forced the pass at Taiping Stockade. In the fourth month of the fourth year, on the army's return, he received one camel, two horses, and five thousand taels of silver and was put in charge of the Ministry of Rites. He raided Jinzhou and Ningyuan. In the fifth year he replaced Jirhalang farming the garrison fields at Yizhou, harvested Jinzhou grain, routed Ming troops, and captured nine towers at Jinzhou and two west of the Xiaoling River. Ming Governor-General Hong Chengchou camped with forty thousand men outside Xingshan; with Hooge he routed them, pursued to the moat, and destroyed three hundred grain convoy troops besides. At Jinzhou he drew the Ming out and beat them again, took ships at the Daling estuary, and pursued and killed raiders who had struck Yizhou. That winter he besieged Jinzhou again. In the sixth year he attacked Guangning and routed relief from Songshan and Jinzhou. Because he had followed Dorgon in camping too far from the walls and allowed troops to withdraw without orders, he was judged for demotion; an edict fined him two thousand taels instead. He besieged Jinzhou again and defeated Ming forces at Songshan. That autumn he joined the Taizu once more against the Ming and was left to press the attack on Jinzhou. In the sixth month of the seventh year he died. As he lay dying, the princes and beiles were in the Dugong Hall debating rewards and punishments for the campaign; the Taizu heard and canceled court. When the bier returned, he sent high ministers to meet it and perform the rites. In the second year of Yongzheng a stele was raised to honor his service.

杜度子七，有爵者五：杜爾祜、穆爾祜、特爾祜、杜努文、薩弼。

Dudu had seven sons; five bore titles: Du'erhu, Mo'erhu, Te'erhu, Dunuwen, and Sabi.

愨厚貝勒杜爾祜，杜度第一子。初封輔國公。從太宗圍松山、錦州有功。坐事，降襲鎮國公。復以甲喇額真拜山等首告怨望，削爵，黜宗室。順治元年，從多鐸南征。二年，復宗室，封輔國公。敘功，賜金五十、銀二千。五年，從濟爾哈朗徇湖廣。六年，敗敵永興，次辰州。進剿廣西，定全州。七年，賜銀六百。八年，進貝勒。十二年二月，卒，予謚。子敦達，襲貝子，謚恪恭。子孫遞降，以輔國公世襲。敦達八世孫光裕，襲輔國公。光緒二十六年，德意志等國兵入京師，死難，贈貝子銜，謚勤愍。

Beile Du'erhu the Sincere and Generous was Dudu's eldest son. He was first created Duke Fu. He distinguished himself in the Taizong's sieges of Songshan and Jinzhou. After an offense his inheritance was reduced to Duke Guo. Company Commander Baishan and others then accused him of disloyalty; he was stripped of rank and expelled from the clan. In the first year of Shunzhi he marched south with Dodo. In the second year he was readmitted to the clan and created Duke Fu again. For his service he received fifty taels of gold and two thousand of silver. In the fifth year he campaigned in Huguang under Jirhalang. In the sixth year he routed the enemy at Yongxing and camped at Chenzhou. He pushed into Guangxi and secured Quanzhou. In the seventh year he received six hundred taels of silver. In the eighth year he was raised to beile. In the second month of the twelfth year he died and received a posthumous name. His son Dundá succeeded as beizi with the posthumous name Ke'gong. The line descended by stages, with Duke Fu as the hereditary title. Guangyu, Dundá's descendant in the eighth generation, held the title of Duke Fu. In 1900, when German and other allied troops entered Beijing, he died defending the city; he was posthumously granted beizi rank and the name Qinmin.

貝子穆爾祜，杜度第二子。天聰九年，師伐明，穆爾祜從貝勒多鐸率偏師入寧遠、錦州綴明師，抵大凌河，擊斬明將劉應選，追奔至松山，獲馬二百，克台一，並有功。崇德元年，封輔國公。七年十月，與杜爾祜同得罪。順治元年，從多鐸南征，破李自成潼關，先後拔兩營。賊犯我噶布希賢兵，穆爾祜擊敗之。又設伏山隘，賊自山上來襲，敗其眾。二年，復宗室，封三等鎮國將軍，三年，進一等。從多鐸徵蘇尼特部騰機思等，敗之。四年，進輔國公。六年，從尼堪擊叛將薑瓖，進貝子。復從尼堪征湖南，賜蟒衣、鞍馬、弓矢。至衡州，尼堪戰歿。十一年，論前罪，削爵。卒，子長源，授鎮國將軍品級。子孫遞降至雲騎尉品級，爵除。

Beizi Mo'erhu was Dudu's second son. In the ninth year of Tiancong, on the Ming campaign, Mo'erhu followed Beile Dodo with a detached force into Ningyuan and Jinzhou to tie down Ming troops. At the Daling River he killed Ming General Liu Yingxuan, pursued the fugitives to Songshan, took two hundred horses and one tower, and won distinction. In the first year of Chongde he was created Duke Fu. In the tenth month of the seventh year he fell with Du'erhu. In the first year of Shunzhi he marched south with Dodo, routed Li Zicheng at Tong Pass, and took two camps in succession. When rebels struck our Gabuxixian detachment, Mo'erhu drove them off. He laid an ambush in a pass; when rebels swept down from the heights he broke them. In the second year he rejoined the clan as a third-rank General Guo; in the third he was raised to first rank. He joined Dodo against Tengjisi of the Sunite tribes and routed them. In the fourth year he was raised to Duke Fu. In the sixth year he campaigned with Nikan against the rebel Jiang Xiang and was raised to beizi. He again followed Nikan into Hunan and received python robes, horses, and archery gear. At Hengzhou, Nikan was killed in action. In the eleventh year his old crimes were weighed and his title taken away. He died; his son Changyuan received the rank of General Guo. The line descended to Cloud Cavalry Captain and the title lapsed.

恪僖貝子特爾祜，杜度第三子。崇德四年，封輔國公。六年，從圍錦州，敗明兵於松山、杏山間。七年，移師駐塔山，克之。與杜爾祜同得罪。順治元年，從多爾袞入山海關，破李自成，逐之至慶都。復從多鐸敗自成潼關。二年，復宗室，封輔國公，賜金五十、銀二千。六年，進貝子。十五年，卒，予謚。子孫遞降，以奉恩將軍世襲。

Beizi Te'erhu the Respectful and Sincere was Dudu's third son. In the fourth year of Chongde he was created Duke Fu. In the sixth year he joined the siege of Jinzhou and routed Ming forces between Songshan and Xingshan. In the seventh year he shifted his forces to Tashan, took the town, and held it. He was punished together with Du'erhu. In the first year of Shunzhi he entered Shanhai Pass with Dorgon, broke Li Zicheng, and chased him as far as Qingdu. He again marched with Dodo and defeated Zicheng at Tong Pass. In the second year he was readmitted to the clan, created Duke Fu again, and received fifty taels of gold and two thousand of silver. In the sixth year he was raised to beizi. In the fifteenth year he died and received a posthumous title. The line descended by stages, with General Feng'en as the hereditary title.

懷愍貝子薩弼，杜度第七子。杜爾祜得罪，從坐，黜宗室。順治元年，從多爾袞入山海關，破李自成有功。二年，復宗室，封輔國公。三年，從勒克德渾南征，略荊州，屢破敵。師還，賜金五十、銀千。六年，從擊叛將薑瓖，戰朔州，敗瓖將薑之芬、孫乾、高奎等，移師攻寧武，瓖將劉偉等降，進貝子。十二年，卒，予謚。子固鼐，襲鎮國公，謚悼愍。子孫遞降，以鎮國將軍世襲。杜度諸子，惟第六子杜努文無戰功。順治初，封輔國公。卒。康熙三十七年，追封貝子，亦謚懷愍。子蘇努，初襲鎮國公。事聖祖，累進貝勒。雍正二年，坐與廉親王允禩為黨，削爵，黜宗室。

Beizi Sabi the Lamenting and Sympathetic was Dudu's seventh son. When Du'erhu fell, Sabi was implicated, stripped of clan status, and cast out. In the first year of Shunzhi he entered Shanhai Pass with Dorgon and distinguished himself against Li Zicheng. In the second year he rejoined the clan and was created Duke Fu. In the third year he campaigned south with Lekedehun, seized Jingzhou, and repeatedly routed the foe. On the army's return he received fifty taels of gold and one thousand of silver. In the sixth year he joined the campaign against the rebel Jiang Xiang, fought at Shuozhou, and routed Jiang's generals Jiang Zhifen, Sun Qian, and Gao Kui; he then turned on Ningwu, where Liu Wei and other commanders surrendered, and was raised to beizi. In the twelfth year he died and received a posthumous title. His son Gutai succeeded as Duke Guo with the posthumous name Daomin. The line descended by stages, with General Guo as the hereditary title. Of Dudu's sons, only the sixth, Dunuwen, won no distinction in war. Early in Shunzhi he was created Duke Fu. He died. In the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi he was posthumously raised to beizi and named Huaimin. His son Sunu first held the title of Duke Guo. Serving Kangxi, he rose step by step to beile. In the second year of Yongzheng he was judged a partisan of Prince of Lian Yinshi, stripped of rank, and cast out of the clan.

敬謹莊親王尼堪，褚英第三子。天命間，從伐多羅特、董夔諸部，有功。天聰九年，師伐明，從多鐸率偏師入錦、寧界綴明師。崇德元年，封貝子。上伐北韓，從多鐸逐北韓國王李倧至南漢山城，殲其援兵。四年，上伐明，從阿濟格等攻塔山、連山。七年，戍錦州。

Prince Zhuang Nikan the Respectful and Careful was Chuying's third son. Under Tianming he campaigned against the Dorod, Dongkui, and other tribes with distinction. In the ninth year of Tiancong, on the Ming campaign, he marched with Dodo at the head of a flank corps into the Jin-Ning frontier to hold the Ming forces in place. In the first year of Chongde he was created a beizi. On the Joseon campaign he followed Dodo in driving King Li Jong to Namhansanseong and destroying the relief force. In the fourth year, on the Ming campaign, he joined Ajige and others in taking Tashan and Lianshan. In the seventh year he held Jinzhou as garrison commander.

順治元年四月，從多爾袞入山海關，敗李自成，復從阿濟格追擊至慶都，進貝勒。復從多鐸率師自孟津至陝州，破敵。二年，師次潼關，自成將劉方亮出御，尼堪與巴雅喇纛章京圖賴夾擊之，獲馬三百餘。又偕貝子尚善敗敵騎，趨歸德，定河南，詔慰勞，賜弓一。五月，從多鐸克明南都，追獲明福王由崧。又攻江陰，力戰，克之。師還，賜金二百、銀萬五千、鞍一、馬五。

In the fourth month of the first year of Shunzhi he entered Shanhai Pass with Dorgon and broke Li Zicheng; he then rode with Ajige in pursuit to Qingdu and was raised to beile. He again campaigned with Dodo from Mengjin to Shanzhou and routed the foe. In the second year the army camped at Tong Pass; Liu Fangliang, a general of Zicheng, came out to meet them; Nikan and Banner Janggin Bayara Turgei struck from both flanks and took more than three hundred horses. He again joined Beizi Shangshan to rout enemy horse, pressed on to Guide, and settled Henan; the court sent words of praise and granted him a bow. In the fifth month he followed Dodo in taking the Ming southern capital and ran down Ming Prince Fu, Zhu Yousong. He attacked Jiangyin again, fought hard, and took the city. On the army's return he received two hundred taels of gold, fifteen thousand of silver, a saddle, and five horses.

三年，從豪格西征。時賀珍擾漢中，二隻虎、孫守法擾興安，群寇蜂起。尼堪次西安，自棧道進軍，珍自雞頭關迎拒，擊殲之，疾馳漢中躪其壘，賊走西鄉，追擊於楚湖，至漢陰，二隻虎奔四川，孫守法奔岳科寨。十一月，復從豪格入四川，斬張獻忠於西充。與貝子滿達海分兵定遵義、夔州、茂州、隆昌、富順、內江、資陽，四川平。五年，師還。偕阿濟格平天津土寇，進封敬謹郡王。六年，命為定西大將軍，討叛將薑瓖，屢敗敵。破瓖所置巡撫薑輝，其將羅英壇以所部降。多爾袞赴大同招撫薑瓖，承製進尼堪親王。旋自左衛圍大同，瓖將楊振威等斬瓖以降，師還。七年，與巽親王滿達海、端重親王博洛理六部事。多爾袞遣尚書阿哈尼堪迎北韓王弟，阿哈尼堪啟尼堪以章京恩國泰代行，事覺，尼堪坐徇隱，降郡王。八年，復封親王。又坐不奏阿濟格私蓄兵器，降郡王。尋掌禮部。居數月，再復親王，掌宗人府事。

In the third year he marched west with Hongge. He Zhen was raiding Hanzhong, Erzhihu and Sun Shoufa were troubling Xing'an, and rebels rose everywhere. Nikan made Xi'an his base and advanced along the plank roads; He Zhen met him at Jitou Pass and was destroyed; Nikan raced into Hanzhong and trampled his camps; the rebels fled toward Xixiang; he chased them from Chuhu to Hanyin; Erzhihu escaped into Sichuan and Sun Shoufa into the Yueke stockade. In the eleventh month he again entered Sichuan with Hongge and slew Zhang Xianzhong at Xichong. He and Beizi Mandahai split their columns to secure Zunyi, Kuizhou, Maozhou, Longchang, Fushun, Neijiang, and Ziyang, and Sichuan was brought to order. In the fifth year the army came home. With Ajige he quelled the Tianjin militias and was raised to Prince of Jingjin. In the sixth year he was named Grand General Who Pacifies the West to crush the rebel Jiang Xiang and again and again routed the foe. They routed Jiang Hui, the grand coordinator Jiang Xiang had put in place, and his general Luo Yingtan came over with his troops. Dorgon went to Datong to win Jiang Xiang over, and by edict Niukan was raised to prince. He soon besieged Datong from Zuowei; Yang Zhenwei and others among Jiang's officers killed Jiang and surrendered, and the army withdrew. In the seventh year he joined Princes Xun Mandahai and Duanzhong Bolo in running the Six Ministries. Dorgon dispatched Minister Ahaniakan to receive the Joseon king's younger brother. Ahaniakan asked Niukan to let zhangjing Enguotai go in his place; when this was exposed, Niukan was condemned for shielding him and reduced to commandery prince. In the eighth year his princely rank was restored. He was demoted again to commandery prince for not reporting Ajige's secret stockpiling of arms. He was soon put in charge of the Ministry of Rites. A few months later he was made prince once more and given the Imperial Clan Court.

孫可望等犯湖南，命為定遠大將軍，率師討之。瀕行，賜御服、佩刀、鞍馬，上親送於南苑。李定國陷桂林，詔入廣西剿賊。十一月，師次湘潭，明將馬進忠等遁。師鄉衡州，噶布希賢兵擊敵衡山縣，敗敵兵千八百。尼堪督兵夜進，兼程至衡州。詰旦，師未陣，敵四萬餘猝至，尼堪督隊進擊，大破之，逐北二十餘里，獲象四、馬八百有奇。敵設伏林內，中途伏發，師欲退，尼堪曰：「我軍擊賊無退者。我為宗室，退，何面目歸乎？」奮勇直入，敵圍之數重，軍失道，尼堪督諸將縱橫衝擊，陷淖中，矢盡，拔刀戰，力竭，歿於陣。十年，喪歸，輟朝三日。命親王以下郊迎，予謚。是役也，從徵諸將皆以陷師論罪。

Sun Kewang and others raided Hunan; he was named General Who Pacifies the Far and marched to suppress them. Before he set out the court gave him imperial dress, a girdle sword, saddle, and mount, and the emperor himself escorted him to the Southern Park. Li Dingguo seized Guilin; he was ordered into Guangxi to hunt down the rebels. In the eleventh month the army camped at Xiangtan, and Ming commanders such as Ma Jinzhong fled. The column pressed toward Hengzhou; Gabuxi's men attacked the foe at Hengshan County and broke eighteen hundred of them. Niukan drove the army forward by night and, without rest, came to Hengzhou. At dawn, before the men had drawn up, forty thousand odd of the enemy fell upon them. Niukan led the charge, shattered them, chased them north more than twenty li, and took four elephants and upward of eight hundred horses. The foe hid men in the forest, and midway the ambush closed in. The troops wanted to pull back. Niukan said, "When this army strikes rebels, no one retreats. I am blood of the house; if I fall back, what face have I to go home?" He plunged ahead in a fury. The enemy closed round him again and again; the host lost the road. Niukan drove his officers to slash in every direction. Mired in mud, out of arrows, he fought on with his sword until his strength gave out and he fell on the field. In the tenth year, when his bier came home, the court mourned three days. Princes and ranks beneath them were sent to meet him beyond the walls, and he was given a posthumous name. After that battle every commander who had marched with him was punished for the disaster to the host.

第二子尼思哈，襲。順治十六年，追論尼堪取多爾袞身後遺財，及不劾尚書譚泰驕縱罪，以陣亡，留爵。十七年，卒，謚曰悼。第一子蘭布，襲貝勒。聖祖念尼堪以親王陣亡，進蘭布郡王，仍原號。七年，進親王。蘭布取鰲拜女，八年，鰲拜既得罪，蘭布坐降鎮國公。十三年，從尚善討吳三桂於湖南。十七年，卒於軍。十九年，追論退縮罪，削爵。子賴士，襲輔國公。乾隆四十三年，高宗以尼堪功著，力戰捐軀，進鎮國公，世襲。

The second son, Nisaha, inherited the title. In Shunzhi 16 they looked back on Niukan's seizure of Dorgon's estate after his death and his failure to impeach Minister Tan Tai for insolence; because he had died in the field, his title stood. In the seventeenth year he died and was posthumously styled Zhao, "the Lamented." His eldest son Lanbu inherited as beile. Kangxi, mindful that Niukan had fallen as a prince, raised Lanbu to commandery prince and let him keep the old designation. In the seventh year he was made prince. Lanbu married Oboi's daughter; when Oboi fell in the eighth year, Lanbu was stripped down to Duke Who Guards the State on that account. In the thirteenth year he marched with Shangshan against Wu Sangui in Hunan. In the seventeenth year he died on campaign. In the nineteenth year a later judgment found him guilty of holding back, and his rank was taken away. His son Laishi inherited as Duke Who Assists the State. In Qianlong 43 the Gaozong Emperor, honoring Niukan's great service and death in hard fighting, raised the line to Duke Who Guards the State in perpetual succession.

禮烈親王代善，太祖第二子。初號貝勒。歲丁未，與舒爾哈齊、褚英徙東海瓦爾喀部斐悠城新附之眾，烏拉貝勒布占泰遣其將博克多將萬人要於路。代善見烏喇兵營山上，分兵緣山奮擊，烏喇兵敗竄，代善馳逐博克多，自馬上左手攫其胄斬之。方雪甚寒，督戰益力，烏喇敗兵僵卧相屬，復得其將常柱、瑚哩布。師還，太祖嘉代善勇敢克敵，賜號古英巴圖魯。

Prince Daishan the Rites-Martyr was the Taizu's second son. He was first created a beile. In the dingwei year he went with Surhaci and Chuying to resettle the new subjects of Feiucheng in the Eastern Sea Walgari lands. Ula beile Buzantai sent General Bokodo with ten thousand men to block the way. Daishan found the Ula encamped on the heights, sent men up the slopes to hit them hard, and broke them into flight. He raced after Bokodo, and from the saddle seized the man's helmet with his left hand and struck off his head. Snow fell in bitter cold, yet he drove the battle harder still. Ula dead lay stiff in long ranks, and he took their officers Changzhu and Huriibu besides. On the march home the Taizu hailed Daishan's courage in breaking the foe and gave him the name Guyin Batulu.

歲癸丑，太祖伐烏喇，克遜紥搭、郭多、郭謨三城。布占泰將三萬人越富勒哈城而營，諸將欲戰，太祖猶持重，代善曰：「我師遠伐，利速戰，慮布占泰不出耳。出而不戰，將謂之何？」太祖曰：「我豈怯戰？恐爾等有一二被傷，欲計萬全。今眾志在戰，復何猶豫。」因麾兵進，與烏喇步兵相距百步許，代善從太祖臨陣奮擊，大破之，克其城。烏喇兵潰走，代善追殪過半。布占泰奔葉赫，所屬城邑盡降，編戶萬家。天命元年，封和碩貝勒，以序稱大貝勒。

In the guichou year the Taizu struck Ula and captured Sunzhata, Guoduo, and Guomo. Buzantai brought thirty thousand men past Fuleha and made camp. The officers wanted a fight, but the Taizu was still cautious. Daishan said, "We have come far; speed is our gain. I only fear Buzantai will not show himself. If he comes out and we refuse battle, what then?" The Taizu said, "Do you think I shrink from a fight? I feared a wound or two among you and sought every safeguard. Now every man wills war—why hold back?" He waved the host on. A hundred paces from the Ula foot the lines met; Daishan followed the Taizu into the press and broke them, and the city fell. The Ula ranks broke and ran; Daishan hunted them down and slew more than half. Buzantai fled to Yehe; every town under him surrendered, and ten thousand households were enrolled. In the first year of Tianming he was made a hošo beile and, by precedence, styled the great beile.

太祖始用兵於明，行二日，遇雨，太祖欲還，代善曰：「我師既入明境，遽引還，將復與修好乎？師既出，孰能諱之？且雨何害，適足以懈敵耳。」太祖從之。夜半雨霽，昧爽，圍撫順，明將李永芳以城降。東州、瑪哈丹二城及台堡五百餘俱下。師還，出邊二十里，明將張承蔭率兵來追。代善偕太宗還戰，復入邊，破其三營，斬承蔭及其裨將頗廷相等。四年，命代善率諸將十六、兵五千，守紥喀關備明。尋引還。

When the Taizu first campaigned against the Ming, two days' march brought rain, and he wished to turn back. Daishan said, "Our army has already crossed into Ming lands—if we suddenly pull back, are we to sue for peace again? Once the army has marched forth, who can hide it? And what harm is a little rain? It will only lull the enemy." The Taizu took his advice. At midnight the rain cleared; at daybreak they invested Fushun, and the Ming general Li Yongfang surrendered the city. Dongzhou and Mahadan, with more than five hundred forts and towers besides, all fell. On the return march, twenty li beyond the border, the Ming general Zhang Chengyin came after them with an army. Daishan and Hong Taiji wheeled to fight, crossed back into the borderlands, shattered three camps, and killed Chengyin along with his lieutenant Po Tingxiang and others. In the fourth year he was ordered to lead sixteen generals and five thousand men to hold Zhakha Pass against Ming incursions. Before long they were recalled.

三月，明經略楊鎬大舉來侵，遣總兵劉綎將四萬人出寬甸，杜松將六萬人出撫順，李如柏將六萬人出清河，馬林將四萬人出三岔口。太祖初聞明兵分出寬甸、撫順，以寬甸有備，親率師西御撫順明兵。代善將前軍，諜復告明兵出清河，代善曰：「清河道狹，且崎嶇，不利速行，我當御其自撫順來者。」過紥喀關，太宗以祀事後至，言界凡方築城，民應役，宜急衛之。代善引兵自太蘭岡趨界凡，與築城役屯吉林崖。杜松以二萬人來攻，別軍陣薩爾滸山。代善與貝勒阿敏、莽古爾泰及諸將議以千人助吉林崖軍，使陟山下擊，餘軍張兩翼，右應吉林崖，左當薩爾滸。太祖至，以右翼兵益左翼，先趨薩爾滸。明兵出，我兵仰射，不移時破其壘。吉林崖軍自山馳而下，右翼渡河夾擊，破明兵，斬松等。馬林出三岔口，以三萬人軍於尚間崖，監軍道潘宗顏將萬人軍於飛芬山，松後部龔念遂、李希泌軍於斡琿鄂謨，太祖督兵攻之。代善將三百騎馳尚間崖，見明兵結方營，掘壕三匝，以火器居前，騎兵繼之，嚴陣而待，遣騎告太祖。太祖已擊破念遂等，親至尚間崖，令於軍，皆下馬步戰。未畢下，明兵突至，代善躍馬入陣，師奮進，斬獲過半。翌日，代善以二十騎先還，詗南路敵遠近。太祖亦還，聞劉綎兵深入，命代善率先至諸軍御之。出瓦爾喀什，綎已至阿佈達哩岡，太宗率右翼陟山，代善率左翼出其西，夾擊，明兵大潰，斬綎。鎬所遣諸軍盡敗。

In the third month the Ming grand coordinator Yang Hao mounted a great invasion, dispatching Liu Ting with forty thousand men from Kuandian, Du Song with sixty thousand from Fushun, Li Rubo with sixty thousand from Qinghe, and Ma Lin with forty thousand from Sanchakou. When the Taizu first learned that Ming armies were advancing on Kuandian and Fushun, he reckoned Kuandian already defended and led his forces west in person to face the column from Fushun. Daishan led the vanguard; scouts again reported Ming troops marching from Qinghe. Daishan said, "The Qinghe route is narrow and broken—ill suited to a forced march. I will meet the enemy coming from Fushun." After Zhakha Pass, Hong Taiji came up late from rites and urged that at Jiefan a wall was rising and laborers were on corvée—they must rush to its defense. Daishan marched from Tailan Ridge to Jiefan and encamped with the builders at Jilin Cliff. Du Song attacked with twenty thousand men while another Ming force drew up on Mount Sarhu. Daishan, Beile Amin, Manggūtai, and the other commanders agreed to send a thousand men to reinforce Jilin Cliff and strike downhill, while the rest deployed on both wings—right to aid the cliff force, left to block Sarhu. The Taizu came up, shifted right-wing strength to the left, and drove first for Sarhu. The Ming came out to fight; our men rained arrows upward and soon smashed their positions. The Jilin Cliff detachment swept down the slope; the right wing forded the river in a double envelopment, routed the Ming, and slew Du Song and his officers. Ma Lin marched from Sanchakou and camped thirty thousand at Shangjianya; Pan Zongyan, the supervising secretary, held Feifen Mountain with ten thousand; Gong Niansui and Li Xibi, Du Song's rearguard, held Wanhu'e'mo—and the Taizu directed the assault on all of them. Daishan galloped to Shangjianya with three hundred horse, found the Ming in square camps behind triple ditches, guns forward and cavalry behind in tight formation, and sent word to the Taizu. Having already routed Niansui's force, the Taizu reached Shangjianya and commanded every man to fight dismounted. Before the dismount was complete the Ming charged in; Daishan spurred into their ranks, the host surged after him, and over half the enemy were cut down or taken. Next day Daishan rode ahead with twenty scouts to gauge the southern column's distance. The Taizu turned back as well; learning that Liu Ting had thrust deep inland, he ordered Daishan to reach the front before the other columns and block him. Beyond Warkashi, Liu Ting had reached Abudali Ridge; Hong Taiji took the right wing up the heights while Daishan swung the left around to the west—they struck in concert, the Ming broke utterly, and Liu Ting was killed. Every column Yang Hao had sent was destroyed.

七月，從太祖克鐵嶺。八月，太祖伐葉赫。葉赫有二城：金台石居其東，布揚古居其西。師至，太祖攻東城，代善攻西城。東城下，布揚古及其弟布爾杭古乞盟，代善諭而降之。六年三月，從太祖伐明沈陽，率其子岳託戰，斬馘甚眾。復偕莽古爾泰遷金州民於復州。

In the seventh month he followed the Taizu in the capture of Tieling. In the eighth month the Taizu campaigned against Yehe. Yehe held two strongholds—Jintai shi in the east and Buyanggu in the west. When the host arrived, the Taizu invested the eastern city and Daishan the western. The eastern city taken, Buyanggu and his brother Buerhanggu sued for terms; Daishan persuaded them and they submitted. In the third month of the sixth year he followed the Taizu against Shenyang, brought his son Yuetuo to the fight, and took many heads. He again joined Manggūtai in moving Jinzhou's populace to Fuzhou.

十一年八月，太祖崩，岳託與其弟薩哈璘告代善，請奉太宗嗣位，代善曰：「是吾心也！」告諸貝勒定策。太宗辭讓再三，代善等請益堅，乃即位。是冬，伐蒙古喀爾喀紥魯特部，擒貝勒巴克等，斬鄂爾齋圖，俘所屬而歸。

In the eighth month of the eleventh year the Taizu passed away; Yuetuo and his brother Sahaliyan appealed to Daishan to install Hong Taiji. Daishan said, "That is exactly what I wish." He laid the matter before the beile, and the succession was fixed. Hong Taiji demurred repeatedly; Daishan and the rest pressed all the harder, and at last he ascended. That winter they raided the Khalkha Zharut Mongols, seized Beile Bak and others, slew Orzhaitu, and brought back their people captive.

天聰元年，從太宗圍錦州，拒明山海關援兵，薄寧遠，破敵，以暑還師。三年，從伐明，入洪山口，克遵化，薄明都，明總兵滿桂等赴援，擊敗之德勝門外，克良鄉，又破明兵永定門外。從上閱薊州形勢，明步兵五千自山海關至，與師遇，不及陣，列車楯、槍炮而營，代善率左翼四旗擊破之。四年正月，明侍郎劉之綸率兵至遵化，營山上，代善環山圍之，破其七營，之綸走入山，射殺之。五年八月，從上圍大凌河，收城外台堡。九月，明總兵吳襄、監軍道張春等將四萬人自錦州至，距大凌河十五里，代善從上將二萬人擊之，明兵方陣，發槍炮，督騎兵突入，矢如雨，明兵大卻。襄遁，春收潰兵復陣。黑雲起，風自西來，明兵乘風縱火逼我軍。大雨反風，毀其營，明兵死者甚眾，師乘之，獲春等。春見上不屈，上將誅之，代善諫，乃赦之。

In Tiancong 1 he joined Hong Taiji's siege of Jinzhou, turned back Ming aid from Shanhaiguan, pushed to Ningyuan and beat the enemy, then retired in the summer heat. In the third year he marched against the Ming, entered Hongshankou, captured Zunhua, and closed on Beijing; when Man Gui and other Ming generals hurried to relieve the capital they were crushed outside Desheng Gate, Liangxiang fell, and Ming forces were routed again outside Yongding Gate. He accompanied the khan to reconnoiter Jizhou; five thousand Ming infantry marched from Shanhaiguan, collided with the host before forming line, and camped behind wagons, pavises, spears, and guns—Daishan and the Left Wing's four banners shattered them. In the fourth year, first month, Vice Minister Liu Zhilun brought troops to Zunhua and camped on a height; Daishan ringed the hill, stormed seven camps, and when Zhilun fled into the mountains had him shot down. In the fifth year, eighth month, he joined the siege of Dalinghe and seized the outer forts. In the ninth month Wu Xiang, Zhang Chun, and others marched forty thousand from Jinzhou to fifteen li from Dalinghe; Daishan followed the khan with twenty thousand to strike. The Ming stood in square array behind gunfire; he drove the cavalry through the storm of shot and arrow until the enemy broke in rout. Wu Xiang escaped; Zhang Chun rallied the fugitives and drew up again. Dark clouds gathered; a west wind sprang up and the Ming used it to burn toward our lines. A downpour shifted the wind, wrecked their camps, and slew Ming by the thousands; our troops pressed the rout and took Chun and his officers. Zhang Chun faced the khan unbowed; the khan would have put him to death, but Daishan interceded and he was spared.

初，太祖命四和碩貝勒分直理政事，每御殿，和碩貝勒皆列坐。至是，禮部參政李伯龍請定朝會班制。時和碩貝勒阿敏已得罪，莽古爾泰亦以罪降多羅貝勒，諸貝勒議不得列坐。代善曰：「奚獨莽古爾泰？上居大位，我亦不當併列。自今請上南面，我與莽古爾泰侍坐於側，諸貝勒坐於下。」

Formerly the Taizu had charged the four prince beile with rotating stewardship of state; at audience all prince beile sat abreast. Now Li Bolong, vice minister of Rites, petitioned to fix court precedence. Prince Beile Amin had already fallen for crimes; Manggūtai had been demoted to doroi beile—the beile agreed they could no longer sit in the front row. Daishan said, "Why only Manggūtai? The sovereign sits in the high place—I too should not sit beside him as an equal. Henceforth let the khan face south; let Manggūtai and I attend at his side, and the rest of the beile sit below."

六年四月，從上伐察哈爾，過興安嶺，聞林丹汗遠遁，移師攻歸化城，趨大同、宣府，出塞，與沙河堡、得勝堡、張家口諸守將議和而還。八年五月，從伐明，出榆林口，至宣府邊外，分兵自喀喇鄂博克得勝堡，遂自朔州趨馬邑，會師大同而還。

In the sixth year, fourth month, he joined the Chahar campaign, crossed the Greater Khingan, learned Lindan Khan had fled afar, turned to storm Guihua, marched on Datong and Xuanfu, left the passes, and came home after peace talks with the commanders of Shahe, Desheng, Zhangjiakou, and other posts. In the eighth year, fifth month, he marched against the Ming, exited Yulin Pass to the Xuanfu marches, detached a column through Kara Oboq and Desheng Fort, swept from Shuozhou toward Mayi, united at Datong, and withdrew.

崇德元年，封和碩兄禮親王。冬，從上伐北韓。二年，有司論王克北韓，違旨以所獲糧米飼馬及選用護衛溢額，上曰：「朕於兄禮親王敬愛有加，何不體朕意若是？」又曰：「王等事朕雖致恭敬，朕何所喜？必正身行義以相輔佐，朕始嘉賴焉。」四年十一月，從上獵於葉赫，射獐，馬僕，傷足。上下馬為裹創，酌金卮勞之，因泣下曰：「朕以兄年高不可馳馬，兄奈何不自愛？」罷獵，還，命乘輿緩行，日十餘里，護以歸。

In Chongde 1 he was created Prince Rites of the First Rank, the sovereign's elder brother. That winter he joined the campaign against Joseon. In the second year the bureaucracy indicted the prince for the Joseon conquest—he had used captured grain to feed horses and exceeded his guard allotment against orders. The khan said, "I cherish my elder brother Prince Rites—why do you so disregard my wishes?" He added, "You may bow and scrape—what joy is that to me? Only if you straighten your conduct and aid me in righteousness will I truly lean upon you." In the fourth year, eleventh month, he hunted at Yehe with the khan, brought down a roebuck, was thrown when his horse stumbled, and hurt his foot. The khan dismounted to dress the wound, offered wine from a golden cup, and wept: "I said you were too old to gallop—brother, why will you not spare yourself?" He broke off the hunt; on the way home he had Daishan borne in a litter at a gentle ten-odd li a day, guarded all the way.

八年，太宗崩，世祖即位。王集諸王、貝勒、大臣議，以鄭親王濟爾哈朗、睿親王多爾袞輔政。又發貝子碩託、郡王阿達禮私議立睿親王，下法司，誅之。碩託，王次子；阿達禮，薩哈璘子，王孫也。順治元年正月朔，命上殿毋拜，著為例。二年春，至京師。五年十月，薨，年六十六。賜祭葬，立碑紀功。康熙十年，追謚。乾隆四十三年，配饗太廟。

In the eighth year Hong Taiji died and the Shizu took the throne. The prince convened princes, beile, and ministers, who named Prince Zheng Jirhala and Prince Rui Dorgon regents. When Beizi Shuoto and Prince Adali were found to have secretly plotted to raise Prince Rui, they were tried and put to death. Shuoto was the prince's second son; Adali, Sahaliyan's son, was the prince's grandson. On New Year's Day of Shunzhi 1 he was excused from obeisance at court—a precedent thereafter. In the spring of the second year he arrived in the capital. In the fifth year, tenth month, he died at sixty-six. State rites and burial were granted and a monument raised to his service. In Kangxi 10 he received a posthumous name. In Qianlong 43 he was enshrined for joint offerings in the Ancestral Temple.

代善子八，有爵者七：岳託、碩託、薩哈璘、瓦克達、瑪占、滿達海、祜塞。祜塞，初封鎮國公，追封惠順親王，而滿達海襲爵。

Daishan had eight sons; seven bore titles: Yuetuo, Shuoto, Sahaliyan, Wakeda, Mazhan, Mandahai, and Huse. Huse was first made a state duke and posthumously raised to Prince Huishun; Mandahai succeeded to the house.

巽簡親王滿達海，代善第七子。崇德五年，從圍錦州。六年，封輔國公。從肅親王豪格圍松山，破敵。洪承疇赴援，戰，所乘馬創，豪格呼曰：「馬創矣！亟易馬！」明兵大至，力戰，殿而還。明總兵吳三桂倚山為營，滿達海合諸軍擊破之，三桂宵遁。七年，從濟爾哈朗克塔山。八年，授都察院承政。

Prince Xunjian Mandahai was Daishan's seventh son. In Chongde 5 he took part in the investment of Jinzhou. In the sixth year he was created a state-assisting duke. He followed Prince Su Hooge at Songshan and routed the foe. When Hong Chengchou marched to relieve, Mandahai's mount was hit in the fray. Hooge cried, "Your horse is down! Swap mounts—now!" Ming masses poured in; he fought on, held the rear, and fell back. Wu Sangui had entrenched along the hills; Mandahai combined the columns, shattered him, and Sangui stole away by night. In the seventh year he joined Jirhala in the fall of Tashan. In the eighth year he was named chief administrator of the Censorate.

順治元年，從入關，敗李自成，進貝子。復從英親王阿濟格逐自成趨綏德。二年，克沿邊三城及延安，自成遁湖廣，師還。三年，從豪格討張獻忠，自漢中進秦州，降獻忠將高如礪。師次西充，擊斬獻忠，與尼堪分剿餘賊。五年，師還。坐徇巴牙喇纛章京希爾根冒功，議罰銀，睿親王多爾袞令免之。六年，襲爵。降將薑瓖叛大同，滿達海與郡王瓦克達率師討之，尋授徵西大將軍。克朔州、馬邑、寧武關、寧化所、八角堡、靜樂縣，遂與博洛會師，復汾州。瓖誅，大同平。遣兵圍平遙、太谷、遼沁，先後克之。屯留、襄垣、榆社、武鄉諸縣俱下。睿親王多爾袞令留瓦克達剿餘寇，滿達海還京師。

In Shunzhi 1 he crossed into China, broke Li Zicheng, and was raised to beizi. He again marched with Prince Ying Ajige in chase of Zicheng toward Suide. In the second year he seized three border towns and Yan'an; Zicheng fled to Huguang and the host withdrew. In the third year he followed Hooge against Zhang Xianzhong, marched from Hanzhong into Qinzhou, and accepted the surrender of Gao Ruli. At Xichong they struck and slew Xianzhong; Mandahai and Nikan then split columns to hunt down remnant rebels. In the fifth year the army came home. He was censured for indulging the baturu banner officer Xiergen's bogus merit claim; a silver fine was proposed, but Prince Rui Dorgon waived it. In the sixth year he succeeded to the princedom. When the turncoat Jiang Xiang rose at Datong, Mandahai and Prince Wakeda marched against him; soon after he was named Grand General of the Western Expedition. He captured Shuozhou, Mayi, Ningwu Pass, Ninghua post, Bajiao Fort, and Jingle, then united with Boluo and retook Fenzhou. Jiang Xiang was put to death and Datong was pacified. He sent columns to invest Pingyao, Taigu, and Liaoxin, capturing each in turn. Tunliu, Xiangyuan, Yushe, and Wuxiang submitted in succession. Prince Rui Dorgon left Wakeda to hunt down stragglers while Mandahai marched back to Beijing.

八年，世祖親政，改封號曰巽親王。諸王分治部務，滿達海掌吏部。九年二月，薨，予謚。十六年，追論滿達海於奏削多爾袞封爵後，奪其財物；掌吏部，懼譚泰驕縱，未論劾：削謚僕碑，降爵為貝勒。

In the eighth year, with the Shizu ruling in person, Mandahai's title was changed to Prince Xun. Princes were assigned ministries; Mandahai took charge of the Board of Civil Appointments. He died in the second month of the ninth year and received a posthumous name. In the sixteenth year he was posthumously condemned for, after the court stripped Dorgon's titles, appropriating his goods; and as minister of personnel he had shrunk from indicting the overbearing Tantai—his posthumous honors were revoked, his monument pulled down, and he was demoted to beile.

子常阿岱，初襲親王。降貝勒。康熙四年，薨，謚懷愍。子星尼，襲貝子，再襲輔國公。星尼子星海，襲鎮國公。並坐事奪爵。乾隆四十三年，追錄滿達海功，命星海孫福色鏗額以輔國將軍世襲。常阿岱既降爵，以從弟傑書襲親王。

His son Chang'adai first succeeded as prince. The house was reduced to beile rank. He died in Kangxi 4 and was posthumously named Huaimin. His son Xingni succeeded as beizi and later as state-assisting duke. Xingni's son Xinghai became a state-supporting duke. The line lost its titles for misconduct. In Qianlong 43 Mandahai's service was officially recognized again and Xinghai's grandson Fusekeng'e was granted hereditary assistant general of the state. When Chang'adai was demoted, his cousin Jieshu took up the princedom.

康良親王傑書，祜塞第三子。初襲封郡王。順治八年，加號曰康。十六年，襲爵，遂改號康親王。康熙十三年六月，命為奉命大將軍，率師討耿精忠。師至金華，溫州、處州已陷。精忠將徐尚朝以五萬人犯金華，王令都統巴雅爾、副都統瑪哈達迎擊，破之。尚朝復來犯，巴雅爾會總兵陳世凱破賊壘積道山，殲二萬餘，復永康、縉雲。精忠將沙有祥踞桃花嶺，梗處州道，瑪哈達率軍擊之，有祥潰走。十四年，復處州及仙居。尚朝等猶踞宣平、松陽，屢窺處州。都統拉哈達偕諸將御之，破賊於石塘，於石佛嶺，於大王嶺東隴隘口上套寨、下五塘諸地。詔寧海將軍傅喇塔自黃岩規溫州，趣傑書自衢州入，傑書疏言：「處州有警，兵單不能驟進。」上諭曰：「王守金華，將及二載，徒以文移往來，不親統兵規剿，賊何自滅？宜刻期進取。」

Prince Kangliang Jieshu was the third son of Huse. He first succeeded as a second-rank prince. In Shunzhi 8 the epithet Kang was added to his title. In the sixteenth year he inherited outright and became Prince Kang. In Kangxi 13, sixth month, he was named commander-in-chief and marched against the rebel Geng Jingzhong. By the time the host reached Jinhua, Wenzhou and Chuzhou were already lost. Geng Jingzhong's general Xu Shangchao struck Jinhua with fifty thousand men; the prince sent Commandant Bayar and Vice Commandant Mahada to intercept and routed them. Shangchao returned; Bayar and Regional Commander Chen Shikai stormed the rebel fort at Jidaoshan, slew over twenty thousand, and retook Yongkang and Jinyun. Sha Youxiang held Taohua Ridge and choked the route to Chuzhou; Mahada attacked and drove him off. In the fourteenth year Chuzhou and Xianju were retaken. Shangchao's forces still held Xuanping and Songyang and kept threatening Chuzhou. Commandant Lahada and fellow officers beat them at Shitang, Shifo Ridge, and the upper and lower Wutang forts on the eastern spur of Dawang Ridge. The court ordered Ninghai General Fulata to move from Huangyan on Wenzhou and pressed Jieshu to advance from Quzhou; Jieshu replied, "Chuzhou is still threatened and we are too weak to rush forward." The emperor rebuked him: "You have sat at Jinhua nearly two years, shuffling papers instead of leading men—how are the rebels to be crushed? Set a deadline and attack."

十五年，自金華移師衢州，精忠將馬九玉屯大溪灘拒師。傑書督諸將力擊之，伏起，刃相接。傑書坐古廟側指揮，纛為火器所穿，衛兵負扉為蔽，傑書談笑自若，諸軍皆踴躍奮擊，精忠兵大敗，溪水為赤。傑書令偃旗鼓，一日夜行數百裡，乘月攻剋江山，進徇常山，次仙霞關。精忠將金應虎收舟泊隔岸，師不得渡。令循灘西上，視水淺亂流，涉。精忠兵不戰，潰，應虎降。進拔浦城，檄精忠諭降。師復進，拔建陽，撫定建寧、延平二府。精忠遣其子顯祚迎師，傑書承製許以不死，精忠出降。十月，師入福州，精忠請從師討鄭錦自贖，入告，詔許之。

In the fifteenth year he marched from Jinhua to Quzhou; Ma Jiuyu barred the way at Daxitan. Jieshu directed a fierce assault; rebels sprang from ambush and the fight went blade to blade. Jieshu commanded from beside an old shrine while musket fire punched through his standard; guards held doors as shields; he chatted calmly as his men charged—the rebel host broke and the creek ran red. He muffled drums and flags and in a day and night raced hundreds of li, took Jiangshan by moonlight, pushed into Changshan, and camped at Xianxia Pass. Jin Yinghu massed boats on the far shore and blocked the crossing. He sent men up the western shallows, found a ford in the broken current, and waded over. Jingzhong's men would not stand; they fled and Yinghu submitted. They seized Pucheng and called on Geng Jingzhong to yield. Pressing on they captured Jianyang and pacified Jianning and Yanping. Jingzhong sent his son Xianzuo to meet the host; Jieshu, by imperial warrant, pledged his life; Jingzhong surrendered. In the tenth month the army entered Fuzhou; Jingzhong begged to march against Zheng Jing to atone; the court assented.

錦將許耀以三萬人屯烏龍江南小門山、真鳳山，傑書遣拉哈達等擊走之。疏言：「精忠從師出剿，其弟昭忠、聚忠，宜留一人於福州，轄其屬。」又言：「福建制兵已設如額，精忠所率兵不少，左右兩鎮兵可並裁去。溫州總兵祖弘勛、藩下總兵曾養性，宜別除授。」上命昭忠為鎮平將軍，駐福州，餘並如所請。傑書遣兵敗錦將吳淑於浦塘，復邵武。師復進，泰寧、汀州及所屬諸縣皆下。十六年，拉哈達敗錦軍於白茅山、太平山，破二十六壘，克興化，復泉州、漳州。奏入，詔褒傑書功。傑書令拉哈達等率兵與精忠進次潮州，規廣東。錦兵陷平和，逼海澄，副都統穆赫林等守御越七旬，援不至，與長泰並陷。傑書請罪，詔俟師還議之。錦兵復破同安、惠安，傑書遣軍討復之，並復長泰，破敵於柯鏗山、萬松關，又遣別將破敵江東橋、石衛寨。十八年，戰郭塘、歐溪頭，屢破敵。敵犯江東橋，擊卻之。副都統吉勒塔布敗敵鰲頭山，沃申克東石城。十九年，沃申撫定大定、小定、玉洲、石馬諸地，克海澄。水師提督萬正色克海壇，拉哈達等克廈門、金門，都統賚塔克銅山。錦以殘兵還臺灣。

Zheng Jing's Xu Yao held thirty thousand south of the Wulong at Xiaomen and Zhenfeng hills; Jieshu sent Lahada to scatter them. He wrote, "Jingzhong marches with us; of his brothers Zhaozhong and Juzhong, one should stay at Fuzhou to control his troops." He also urged that Fujian's regulars were already full strength while Jingzhong still commanded a large private force—the left and right garrisons could be disbanded. Regional commanders Zu Hongxun of Wenzhou and Zeng Yangxing of the fief garrison should be reassigned." The emperor named Zhaozhong Pacifying General at Fuzhou and granted the rest. Jieshu's detachments beat Zheng Jing's Wu Shu at Putang and retook Shaowu. The host pushed on; Taining, Tingzhou, and their districts submitted. In the sixteenth year Lahada routed Zheng Jing at Baimao and Taiping mountains, stormed twenty-six forts, seized Xinghua, and retook Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. The throne commended Jieshu's service. Jieshu sent Lahada with Jingzhong toward Chaozhou to open the Guangdong campaign. Zheng Jing seized Pinghe and closed on Haicheng; Muhelin held seventy days without relief and lost Haicheng and Changtai together. Jieshu asked to be punished; the emperor deferred judgment until his return. Zheng Jing retook Tong'an and Huian; Jieshu sent columns to win them back, recovered Changtai, won at Ke'keng Mountain and Wansong Pass, and detached forces to beat the enemy at Jiangdong Bridge and Shiwei fort. In the eighteenth year they fought at Guotang and Ouxitou and repeatedly routed the foe. A rebel thrust at Jiangdong Bridge was thrown back. Jiletabu beat the enemy at Aotou Mountain; Woshen captured Dongshi. In the nineteenth year Woshen secured Dading, Xiaoding, Yuzhou, Shima, and neighboring ground and took Haicheng. Admiral Wan Zhengse seized Haitan; Lahada took Xiamen and Jinmen; Commandant Saiteke took Tongshan. Zheng Jing fled to Taiwan with his shattered forces.

精忠既降，復有異志，傑書疏請逮治。上令傑書諷精忠請入覲，亦召傑書師還，留八旗兵三千分守福州、泉州、漳州。十月，至京師，上率王大臣至盧溝橋迎勞之。二十一年，追論金華頓兵及遲援海澄罪，奪軍功，罰俸一年。二十九年，率兵出張家口，屯歸化城，備噶爾丹。三十六年閏三月，薨，予謚。

Once surrendered, Jingzhong plotted again; Jieshu asked permission to seize him. The emperor told Jieshu to coax Jingzhong into asking to come to court, recalled Jieshu's main force, and left three thousand Banner men at Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou. In the tenth month he reached Beijing; the emperor met him at Lugou Bridge with princes and ministers. In the twenty-first year he was censured for idling at Jinhua and slow relief to Haicheng—military honors revoked and a year's stipend forfeited. In the twenty-ninth year he marched from Zhangjiakou to Guihua to watch Galdan. He died in the leap third month of the thirty-sixth year and received a posthumous name.

子椿泰，襲。椿泰豁達大度，遇下以寬。善舞六合槍，手法矯捷，敵十數人。四十八年，薨，謚曰悼。

His son Chuntai succeeded. Chuntai was broad-minded and easy with those beneath him. He mastered the six-combination spear—so quick-handed he could face a dozen foes. He died in the forty-eighth year and was posthumously named Dao.

His son Chong'an succeeded. Under Yongzheng he was commandant-in-chief and head of the Imperial Clan Court. In the ninth year he garrisoned Guihua against Galdan. He was briefly custodian of the Pacification General's seal, was recalled, and died in the eleventh year, posthumously named Xiu. Jieshu's son Bartu succeeded. He died in Qianlong 18 at eighty and was posthumously named Jian.

崇安子永恩，襲。四十三年，復號禮親王。永恩性寬易而持己嚴，襲爵垂五十年，淡泊勤儉，出處有恆。嘉慶十年，薨，謚曰恭。

Chong'an's son Yong'en succeeded. In the forty-third year the house again became Prince of Rites. Yong'en was genial yet self-disciplined; for nearly fifty years as prince he lived plainly and without caprice. He died in Jiaqing 10 and was posthumously named Gong.

子昭槤，襲。昭槤好學，自號汲修主人，尤習國故。二十一年，坐陵辱大臣，濫用非刑，奪爵，圈禁。二十二年，命釋之。從弟麟趾，襲，父永諲，永恩弟也。亦嗜文學，能詩。追封禮親王。麟趾，道光元年，薨，謚曰安。孫全齡，襲，父錫春，追封禮親王。全齡，三十年，薨，謚曰和。

His son Zhaochuai succeeded. Zhaochuai was a scholar who called himself Master Jixiu and knew the dynasty's institutions deeply. In the twenty-first year he lost his title for humiliating a senior minister and illegal torture and was placed under house arrest. He was freed the following year. His cousin Linzhi succeeded; Linzhi's father Yongyin was Yong'en's brother. He likewise delighted in letters and wrote verse. He was posthumously raised to Prince of Rites. Linzhi died in Daoguang 1 and was posthumously named An. His grandson Quanling succeeded; Quanling's father Xichun was posthumously made Prince of Rites. Quanling died in the thirtieth year and was posthumously named He.

子世鐸，襲。同治間，授內大臣、右宗正。光緒十年，恭親王奕訢罷政，太后諮醇親王奕譞諸王孰可任，舉世鐸對。乃命在軍機大臣上行走，並詔緊要事件會同奕譞商辦。德宗親政，世鐸請解軍機大臣，奉太后旨，不許。十九年，命增護衛。二十年，太后萬壽，賜親王雙俸，再增護衛。二十六年，上奉太后西巡，世鐸不及從。召赴行在，復以病未至。二十七年七月，罷直，授御前大臣。遜位後三年，薨，謚曰恪。子誠厚，襲。薨，謚曰敦。

His son Shiduo succeeded. Under Tongzhi he became an inner court minister and right director of the imperial clan. In Guangxu 10, after Prince Gong Yixin left office, the Empress Dowager asked Prince Chun Yixuan which prince could serve—the answer was Shiduo. He was named a Grand Council walking member and told to consult Yixuan on weighty matters. When Guangxu assumed rule Shiduo sought to quit the Council; the Empress Dowager refused. In the nineteenth year his guard complement was increased. In the twentieth year, for the Empress Dowager's birthday, he received double salary and more guards. In the twenty-sixth year, when the court fled west with the Empress Dowager, Shiduo was unable to accompany them. Called to the imperial camp, he again failed to appear, pleading illness. In the twenty-seventh year, seventh month, he left the Grand Council and became a grand minister of the imperial presence. Three years after the emperor's abdication he died and was posthumously named Ke. His son Chenghou succeeded. He died and was posthumously named Dun.

克勤郡王岳託，代善第一子。初授台吉。天命六年，師略奉集堡，將還，諜告明軍所在，岳託偕台吉德格類擊敗之。上克沈陽，明總兵李秉誠引退，師從之，至白塔鋪。岳託後至，逐北四十里，殲明兵三千餘。喀爾喀紥魯特貝勒昂安執我使送葉赫，被殺。八年，岳託同台吉阿巴泰討之，斬昂安及其子。十一年，復從代善伐紥魯特，斬其部長鄂爾齋圖，俘其。封貝勒。

Prince Keqin of the Commandery Yuetuo was Daishan's firstborn. He was first made a taiji. In Tianming 6 the host raided Fengji Fort; on the withdrawal scouts located Ming forces and Yuetuo with Taiji Degelai routed them. After Shenyang fell, Ming general Li Bingcheng retreated and the army pursued to Baitapu. Yuetuo arrived late, pursued the fugitives forty li, and wiped out over three thousand Ming. Ang'an, Zharut beile of the Khalkha, seized and killed our envoy to Yehe. In the eighth year Yuetuo and Taiji Abatai punished him, slaying Ang'an and his son. In the eleventh year he again marched with Daishan against the Zharut, killed their chief Orzhaitu, and took captives. He was created beile.

天聰元年，偕貝勒阿敏、濟爾哈朗伐北韓，克義州、定州、漢山三城。渡嘉山江，克安州，次平壤，其守將棄城走。再進，次中和，諭北韓國王李倧降。阿敏欲直攻王京，岳託密與濟爾哈朗議駐平山，再使諭倧。倧原歲貢方物，岳託謀曰：「吾曹事已集，蒙古與明皆吾敵，設有警，可不為備乎？宜與盟而歸。」既盟，告阿敏。阿敏以未與盟，縱兵掠。岳託曰：「盟成而掠，非義也。」勸之不可。復令倧弟覺與盟，乃還師。

In Tiancong 1 he joined Beile Amin and Jirhala against Joseon and captured Uiju, Jeongju, and Hansan. They crossed the Gasan River, took Anju, and reached Pyongyang, whose garrison fled. Pressing on they camped at Sunchon and demanded King Lee Jong's submission. Amin wanted to strike the capital at once; Yuetuo quietly agreed with Jirhala to hold at Pungsan and negotiate again with Jong. Jong had paid yearly tribute; Yuetuo argued, "Our task is finished; Mongols and Ming are both enemies—if trouble comes, must we not be ready? We should treaty and withdraw." Once terms were set he told Amin. Amin, who had not sworn the pact, unleashed looting. Yuetuo said, "Plunder after a treaty is unjust." He pleaded in vain. He had Jong's brother ratify the pact and then marched home.

從上伐明，又從圍寧遠，並有功。覆敗明兵於牛莊。二年，略明邊，隳錦州、杏山、高橋三城。自十三站以東，毀堠二十一，殺守者三十人。師還，上迎勞，賜良馬一。三年，略明錦州、寧遠，焚其積聚。上伐明，岳託與濟爾哈朗率右翼兵夜攻大安口，毀水門入，敗馬蘭營援兵於城下。及旦，見明兵營山上，分兵授濟爾哈朗擊之，岳託駐山下以待。復見明兵自遵化來援，顧濟爾哈朗曰：「我當擊此。」五戰皆捷。尋次順義，擊破明總兵滿桂等。薄明都，復從代善擊敗援兵。偕貝勒薩哈璘圍永平，克香河。四年，還守沈陽。

He followed campaigns against the Ming and the siege of Ningyuan, earning merit both times. He routed Ming forces again at Niuzhuang. In the second year he harried the Ming frontier and razed Jinzhou, Xingshan, and Gaoqiao. East of Shisan Station he knocked down twenty-one beacons and killed thirty guards. On the return the khan met the army and gave a fine horse. In the third year he raided Jinzhou and Ningyuan and burned their granaries. In the Ming campaign Yuetuo and Jirhala took the right wing by night against Da'an Pass, entered through the sluice gate, and beat Malanying's relief below the walls. At dawn they found Ming on the heights; he detached men for Jirhala to assault while he waited below. Seeing Ming reinforcements from Zunhua he told Jirhala, "These are mine." Five clashes, five victories. They camped at Shunyi and shattered Man Gui's Ming force. Closing on Beijing he again followed Daishan in routing relief columns. With Beile Sahaliyan he invested Yongping and seized Xianghe. In the fourth year he went back to garrison Shenyang.

五年三月，詔詢諸貝勒：「國人怨斷獄不公，何以弭之？」岳託奏：「刑罰舛謬，實在臣等。請上擢直臣，近忠良，絕讒佞，行黜陟之典，使諸臣知激勸。」是歲初設六部，命掌兵部事。上攻大凌河，趨廣寧，岳託偕貝勒阿濟格率兵二萬別自義州進，與師會。固山額真葉臣圍城西南，岳託為之應。祖大壽請降，以子可法質。可法見諸貝勒，將拜，岳託曰：「戰則仇敵，和則弟兄，何拜為？」因問何為死守空城，曰：「畏屠戮耳！」岳託善諭之，遣歸。越三日，大壽乃降。上議取錦州，命偕諸貝勒統兵四千，易漢服，偕大壽作潰奔狀，夜襲錦州。會大霧，乃止。

In the fifth year, third month, the khan asked the beile, "The people say justice is skewed—how do we answer them?" Yuetuo replied, "Faulty punishments are our fault. Promote the honest, trust the loyal, silence slander, and enforce promotion and demotion so officials know reward and fear." That year the Six Ministries were founded and he took the Board of War. In the Dalinghe campaign Yuetuo and Beile Ajige marched twenty thousand from Yizhou to rendezvous with the main host. Gusa ejen Yechen invested the southwest; Yuetuo backed the siege. Zu Dashou offered surrender and sent his son Kefa as hostage. Kefa came to bow to the princes; Yuetuo said, "At war we are foes; at peace, brothers—no need to bow." He asked why they had held an empty town so long; the answer was, "We feared slaughter!" Yuetuo reassured him and sent him home. Three days on, Dashou submitted. Planning Jinzhou, the khan ordered him with other beile to take four thousand men in Han garb and, with Dashou playing fugitive, strike Jinzhou by night. Thick fog forced them to halt.

六年正月，岳託奏：「前克遼東、廣寧，漢人拒命者誅之，後復屠灤州、永平，是以人懷疑懼。今天與我大凌河，正欲使天下知我善撫民也。臣愚以為善撫此眾，歸順者必多。當先予以室家，出公帑以贍之。倘蒙天眷，奄有其地，仍還其家產，彼必悅服。又各官宜令諸貝勒給莊一區，每牛錄令取漢男婦二人、牛一頭，編為屯，人給二屯。出牛口之家，各牛錄復以官值償之。至明諸將士棄其鄉土，窮年戍守，畏我誅戮。今慕義歸降，善為撫恤，毋令失所，則人心附，大業成矣。」疏入，上嘉納之。

In the sixth year, first month, Yuetuo wrote, "When we took Liaodong and Guangning we killed resisters; later massacres at Luanzhou and Yongping bred terror. Heaven grants Dalinghe so all may see we can rule gently. Treat these people well and many more will yield. Give them families and support them from the treasury. If we hold their lands, restore their estates, and they will gladly obey. Let each beile receive an estate; each niru should take two Han couples and an ox for a colony—two colonies per man. Households that supply oxen should be paid at official rates per niru. Ming soldiers who left home to garrison year on year fear our swords; those who now submit in good faith must be settled kindly—then loyalty will follow and the great work succeed." The khan approved the memorial.

尋偕濟爾哈朗等略察哈爾部，至歸化城，俘獲以千計。又偕貝勒德格類行略地，自耀州至蓋州南。七年，又偕德格類等攻旅順口，留兵駐守。師還，上郊勞，以金卮酌酒賜之。八年，上閱兵沈陽，岳託率滿洲、蒙古十一旗兵，列陣二十里許，軍容整肅，上嘉之。從上徵察哈爾，有疾先還。九年，略明山西，岳託復以病留歸化城。土默特部來告，博碩克圖汗子俄木布遣人偕阿嚕喀爾喀及明使者至，將謀我。岳託伏兵邀之，擒明使者，令土默特捕斬阿嚕喀爾喀匿馬駝者。部分土默特壯丁，立隊伍，授條約。尋與諸貝勒會師，偕還。

Soon he raided the Chahar to Guihua with Jirhala and others, taking thousands captive. With Beile Degelai he raided from Yaozhou to south of Gaizhou. In the seventh year he stormed Lüshunkou with Degelai and left a garrison. On return the khan met them beyond the walls and gave wine from a golden cup. In the eighth year at Shenyang he paraded eleven Manchu and Mongol banners in ranks twenty li long—so crisp the khan commended him. He joined the Chahar campaign but fell ill and withdrew early. In the ninth year, on the Shanxi raid, illness kept him at Guihua. The Tumed reported that Emebu, son of Boshoktu Khan, was plotting with Alu Khalkha and Ming envoys against us. Yuetuo ambushed the party, took the Ming envoys, and ordered the Tumed to hunt down Alu Khalkha who concealed livestock. He organized Tumed warriors into companies and bound them by treaty. He soon rejoined the princes and marched home with them.

崇德元年四月，封成親王。八月，坐徇庇莽古爾泰、碩託，及離間濟爾哈朗、豪格，論死，上寬之，降貝勒，罷兵部。未幾，覆命攝部事。二年八月，上命兩翼較射，岳託言不能執弓，上勉之再三，始引弓，弓墮地者五，乃擲去。諸王論岳託驕慢，當死，上再寬之，降貝子，罰銀五千。

In Chongde 1, fourth month, he was created Prince Cheng. In the eighth month he was condemned to death for shielding Manggūtai and Shuoto and pitting Jirhala against Hooge; the khan spared him, demoted him to beile, and stripped the War Ministry. Soon he was reappointed acting minister of war. In the second year, eighth month, the khan ordered an archery contest; Yuetuo claimed he could not shoot; pressed repeatedly he tried, dropped the bow five times, and threw it down. The princes voted death for his insolence; the khan again spared him, made him beizi, and fined five thousand taels.

三年，復貝勒。從上徵喀爾喀，至博碩堆，知紥薩克圖汗已出走，乃還。八月，伐明，授岳託揚武大將軍，貝勒杜度副之，統右翼軍；統左翼者睿親王多爾袞也。至牆子嶺，明兵入堡，外為三寨，我師克之。堡堅不易拔，用俘卒言嶺東西有間道，分兵攻其前，綴明師，潛從間道逾嶺入，克台十有一。師深入，徇山東，下濟南，岳託薨於軍。四年，多爾袞奏捷，無岳託名。上驚問，始聞喪，大慟，輟膳，命毋使禮親王知。喪還，上至沙嶺遙奠；還宮，輟朝三日。詔封為克勤郡王，賜駝五、馬二、銀萬。康熙二十七年，立碑紀功。乾隆四十三年，配享太廟。

In the third year he was raised back to beile. He marched against the Khalkha to Boshodui, found Zhasaktu Khan gone, and turned back. In the eighth month, on the Ming campaign, Yuetuo became Grand General for Military Prestige with Beile Dudu as lieutenant, commanding the right wing; Prince Rui Dorgon led the left. At Qiangzi Ridge the Ming held a fort with three outer camps; our troops seized them. The fort was tough; prisoners said paths flanked the ridge—our men feinted ahead, pinned the Ming, slipped over by the byways, and took eleven towers. They plunged inland, overran Shandong, took Jinan, and Yuetuo died on campaign. In the fourth year Dorgon's victory report omitted Yuetuo. The khan was shocked; learning of the death he mourned, refused food, and hid the news from Prince Rites. When the coffin came home the khan sacrificed at Shaling from a distance; back at court he mourned three days without audience. He was posthumously made Prince Keqin of the Commandery with five camels, two horses, and ten thousand taels. In Kangxi 27 a monument was raised to his service. In Qianlong 43 he was enshrined for joint offerings in the Ancestral Temple.

岳託子七，有爵者五：羅洛渾、喀爾楚渾、巴爾楚渾、巴思哈、祜裡布。巴爾楚渾、祜裡布並恩封貝勒，巴爾楚渾謚和惠，祜裡布謚剛毅。

Yuetuo had seven sons; five bore titles: Luoluo Hun, Ka'erchuhun, Ba'erchuhun, Basih'a, and Hulibu. Ba'erchuhun and Hulibu were grace-created beile; posthumously Hehui and Gangyi.

Prince Yanxi Jie of the Commandery Luoluo Hun was Yuetuo's firstborn. He first succeeded as beile. In Chongde 5 he met the Dorot Mongols Subandai and Arbadai at Xingshan, fought through Ming interceptors, and won an imperial horse. He soon joined the investment of Jinzhou. He marched against the Ming again, took Songshan, and received python robes. In the eighth year he lost his title for drunken indiscretion and playing music through Primary Consort Minhui Gonghe's mourning. He was soon restored to rank; Jirhala and Dorgon were told to discipline him. In Shunzhi 1 he helped secure Beijing and was raised to Prince Yanxi of the Commandery. In the third year he marched into Sichuan with Prince Su Hooge and died on campaign. Under Kangxi he received a posthumous name.

平敏郡王福彭既襲爵，授右宗正，署都統。十一年，命軍機處行走。授定邊大將軍，率師討噶爾丹策零。師次烏里雅蘇台，奏言：「行軍，駝馬為先。今喀爾喀紥薩克貝勒等遠獻駝馬，力請停償直。彼不私其所有，而宗室王、公、貝勒皆有馬，豈不內媿於心？臣有馬五百，原送軍前備用。」十二年，率將軍傅爾丹赴科布多護北路諸軍。尋召還。十三年，覆命率師駐鄂爾坤，築城額爾德尼昭之北。尋以慶復代，召還。乾隆初，歷正白、正黃二旗滿洲都統。十三年，薨，予謚。

Prince Pingmin Fupeng, on succeeding, became right clan chief and acting commandant-in-chief. In the eleventh year he joined the Grand Council as a walking member. He was named Pacification General of the Frontier and marched against Galdan Tsering. Camped at Uliassutai he wrote, "On campaign, camels and horses come first. Khalkha zhasak beile have driven camels and horses great distances and beg to forgo payment. They give freely—while every prince and duke in the clan keeps his own horses. Should we not blush? I have five hundred horses and offer them to the army." In the twelfth year he took General Fu'erdan to Kobdo to command the northern armies. He was soon recalled. In the thirteenth year he returned to the Ergun with troops and built a fort north of Erdeni Juu. Qingfu soon replaced him and he went home.

In the third year he joined Hooge against Zhang Xianzhong and led columns with Beizi Mandahai. When Gao Ruli and other Xianzhong generals surrendered, Hooge slew Xianzhong—Ka'erchuhun distinguished himself. In the fifth year he became commandant-in-chief. In the sixth year he joined Nikan against Jiang Xiang, took Ningwu, and was raised to beile. In the eighth year he acted as head of the Colonial Affairs Court. He died and was posthumously named Xianrong. His son Keqi succeeded at one year old, held the title seventy-one years, and died at seventy-two. His son Lubin was first made beizi.

He was re-created a state-assisting duke. He died in Qianlong 8 at seventy-four and was posthumously named Kesī. The line continued as hereditary grace assistant generals.

鎮國將軍品級巴思哈，岳託第五子。崇德四年，封鎮國將軍。順治六年，進貝勒。九年，從尼堪徵湖南，賜蟒衣、鞍馬、弓矢。尼堪戰死衡州，屯齊代為定遠大將軍，巴思哈與合軍自永州趨寶慶，敗敵周家坡。十一年，追論尼堪敗績失援罪，削爵。十二年，授都統。尋授鎮國公品級。十五年，從多尼下雲南。師次貴州，破敵。十六年，薄雲南會城，同貝勒尚善克鎮南州玉龍關、永昌府騰越州，賜蟒袍、鞍馬。十七年，師還。追議在永昌縱兵擾民，降鎮國將軍品級。十八年，卒。

Basih'a, assistant general of state-supporting rank, was Yuetuo's fifth son. In Chongde 4 he was made assistant general of the state. In Shunzhi 6 he was raised to beile. In the ninth year he joined Nikan in Hunan and received python robes, mount, and bow. After Nikan fell at Hengzhou, Tunqi became Pacification General; Basih'a marched from Yongzhou on Baoqing and won at Zhoujiapo. In the eleventh year he was punished for Nikan's defeat and tardy relief—stripped of rank. In the twelfth year he became commandant-in-chief. He was soon given state-duke rank. In the fifteenth year he joined Duoni in Yunnan. In Guizhou the army routed the foe. In the sixteenth year, closing on Kunming, he and Beile Shangshan took Yulong Pass at Zhennan and Tengyue in Yongchang, and won python robes and a mount. The army came home in the seventeenth year. He was demoted for letting soldiers abuse civilians at Yongchang. He died in the eighteenth year.

Shuoto was Daishan's second son. He was first made taiji. In Tianming 6 he joined the Ming campaign and assaulted Fengji Fort. In the tenth year he relieved the Khorchin with Beile Manggūtai. In the eleventh year he marched with Daishan against the Barin and Zhalut Khalkha, earned merit both times, and was made beile. In Tiancong 1 he joined Beile Amin's Joseon campaign. He again followed the khan against Dalinghe and Jinzhou. In the fourth year, when Yongping fell, he garrisoned it with Amin. When Amin pulled out, Shuoto was stripped of rank. In the fifth year at Jinzhou, Ming hit Ajige's camp; Shuoto fought hard, took a thigh wound, and the khan toasted him from a golden cup. Ming columns pushed on Dalinghe; Shuoto beat Zhang Chun and was wounded again in the hand. For his service he received ten lengths of brocade and a hundred bolts of cloth. In the eighth year he followed Daishan from Kara Obo and stormed Desheng Fort. He routed Shuozhou horse as well. With Sahaliyan he raided Daizhou, seized Guo County, and took Yuanping Post. He was soon raised to beizi. In Chongde 1 he joined the Joseon campaign, invested Namhansanseong, and routed over twenty thousand relievers. In the second year he and Ajige stormed Pidao. In the third year he besieged Ningyuan with Jirhala. In the fourth year presumption cost him his beizi rank—he was demoted to state-assisting duke. With Aerge he raided the Ming and took countless prisoners; for merit he won a camel and a horse. In the fifth year, fifth month, he joined Dorgon's siege of Jinzhou. He was indicted for camping too long from the walls and letting men desert. The khan rebuked him: "Your offenses are countless! I have spared you again and again and you offend again, as if none of it touched you. Hereafter the law will take you—I will show no mercy!" The sentence became a thousand-tael fine. He was soon restored to beizi. At Hong Taiji's death Shuoto and Adali plotted for Prince Rui Dorgon; both were executed and cast from the clan.

穎毅親王薩哈璘，代善第三子。初授台吉。天命十年，察哈爾林丹汗攻科爾沁，薩哈璘將精騎五千赴援，解其圍。十一年，從代善伐喀爾喀巴林部，又伐紥嚕特部，皆有功，授貝勒。天聰元年，上伐明，率巴雅喇精騎為前隊。上自大凌河至錦州，明兵走，薩哈璘邀擊殲之。復率偏師塔山糧運，敗明兵二萬人。攻寧遠，擊明總兵滿桂，薩哈璘力戰，被創。三年，上伐明，次波羅河屯。代善等密請班師，上不懌。薩哈璘與岳託力贊進取，由是克遵化，薄明都。十二月，薩哈璘略通州，焚其舟，次張家灣。復圍永平，克香河。四年，永平既下，薩哈璘與濟爾哈朗駐守。永平人李春旺言將屠城，斬以徇。旋諭降遷安、灤州、建昌、台頭營、鞍山堡諸地。明兵自樂亭、撫寧攻灤州，薩哈璘率軍赴援，明兵引退。貝勒阿敏來代，乃還師。

Prince Yingyi Sahaliyan was Daishan's third son. He was first made taiji. In Tianming 10 Lindan Khan of the Chahar besieged the Khorchin; Sahaliyan rode five thousand elite horse to the rescue and broke the siege. In the eleventh year he marched with Daishan against the Barin and Zhalut Khalkha, distinguished himself both times, and was made beile. In Tiancong 1, on the Ming campaign, he led bayara horse as vanguard. From Dalinghe to Jinzhou the Ming fled; Sahaliyan cut them off and destroyed them. He detached to convoy grain at Tashan and smashed twenty thousand Ming. At Ningyuan he engaged Man Gui; Sahaliyan fought hard and was wounded. In the third year the khan campaigned against the Ming and camped at Boluohetun. Daishan and others quietly urged retreat; the khan was displeased. Sahaliyan and Yuetuo pressed for advance—Zunhua fell and the host closed on Beijing. In the twelfth month he raided Tongzhou, burned boats, and camped at Zhangjiawan. He invested Yongping again and took Xianghe. In the fourth year, Yongping taken, he garrisoned it with Jirhala. Li Chunwang of Yongping spread word of a massacre; he was beheaded as an example. Soon Qian'an, Luanzhou, Jianchang, Taitouying, Anshan Fort, and other districts were ordered to submit and move. Ming from Laoting and Funing struck Luanzhou; Sahaliyan relieved it and the Ming pulled back. Beile Amin relieved him and he marched home.

五年，詔諸貝勒指陳時政，薩哈璘言：「圖治在人。人主灼知邪正，則臣下爭尚名節，惟皇上慎簡庶僚，任以政事。遇大征伐，上親在行間，諸臣皆秉方略。若遣軍，宜選賢能者為帥，給符節，畀事權，仍限某官以下乾軍令，許軍法從事。」初設六部，掌禮部事。六年，略歸化城，俘蒙古千餘。指授蒙古諸貝勒牧地，申約法。

In the fifth year the beile were asked for policy counsel; Sahaliyan said, "Rule depends on men. If the ruler knows right from wrong, officials will vie for honor—choose good men and give them power. On great campaigns the khan leads in the field and every minister shares the plan. Send armies under able commanders with seals and full authority, but bar junior officers from countermanding orders—let military law rule." When the Six Ministries were founded he took the Board of Rites. In the sixth year he raided Guihua and took a thousand Mongols captive. He allotted Mongol beile their pastures and proclaimed the laws.

七年六月，詔問徵明及察哈爾、北韓三者何先，薩哈璘言：「當寬北韓，拒察哈爾，而專徵明。察哈爾雖不加兵，如蟲食穴中，勢且自盡。至於明，我少緩，則彼守益固。臣意視今歲秋成圖進取，乘彼禾稼方熟，因糧於敵，為再進計。量留兵防察哈爾。先以騎兵往來襲擊蹂躪，再簡精兵自一片石入山海關，則寧、錦為無用；或仍自寧、錦入，斷北京四路，度地形，據糧足之地。乘機伺便，二三年中，大勛集矣。」尋略山海關。八年，偕多爾袞迎降將尚可喜，招撫廣鹿、長山二島戶口三千八百有奇。從伐明，薩哈璘自喀喇鄂博攻剋得勝堡。略代州，夜襲崞縣，拔之。王東、板鎮二堡民棄堡遁。復擊敗代州兵。會上大同，籍俘獲以聞。

In the seventh year, sixth month, asked whether to strike Ming, Chahar, or Joseon first, Sahaliyan said, "Conciliate Joseon, contain Chahar, and hit Ming. Even without troops the Chahar will rot from within like worms in a hole. Give the Ming breathing room and their walls grow stronger. Plan the autumn harvest advance—raid when their grain is ripe and live off the enemy for the next thrust. Leave a measured force to watch the Chahar. First let cavalry harry the borders; then crack troops through Yipianshi and Shanhaiguan—Ningyuan and Jinzhou become worthless; or enter via Ningyuan and Jinzhou, sever Beijing's four supply roads, and hold ground rich in grain. Seize the moment and within two or three years the great work will be done." He soon raided Shanhaiguan. In the eighth year he and Dorgon received Shang Kexi's surrender and settled over thirty-eight hundred households on Guanglu and Changshan. On the Ming campaign Sahaliyan took Desheng Fort from Kara Obo. Raiding Daizhou he stormed Guo County by night. Wangdong and Banzhen were abandoned and the garrisons fled. He beat Daizhou forces again. At Datong the khan tallied captives and reported.

九年，偕多爾袞、岳託、豪格等收察哈爾林丹汗子額爾克孔果爾額哲，師次托里圖，收其全部。師還，岳託駐歸化城。薩哈璘偕多爾袞、豪格入明邊，略山西。事詳多爾袞傳。諸貝勒大臣屢請上尊號，不許。既收察哈爾，復請，上仍不許。薩哈璘令內院大臣希福等奏曰：「臣等屢請，未蒙鑒允，夙夜悚惶，罔知所措。伏思皇上不受尊號，咎在諸貝勒不能殫竭忠信，展佈嘉猷，為久大計。今諸貝勒誓改行竭忠，輔開太平之基，皇上宜受尊號。」上曰：「善。薩哈璘為朕謀，開陳及此，實獲我心。諸貝勒應誓與否，爾掌禮部，可自主之。」翌日，薩哈璘集諸貝勒於朝，書誓詞以進。上命以眾議告北韓，薩哈璘因言：「諸貝勒亦當遣使，示以各國來附，兵力強盛。」上嘉納之。

In the ninth year he with Dorgon, Yuetuo, and Hooge received Lindan's son Erkekuongor Eje; at Tuolitu the entire Chahar tribe submitted. On the return Yuetuo garrisoned Guihua. Sahaliyan with Dorgon and Hooge crossed into Ming territory and raided Shanxi. Details appear in Dorgon's biography. Beile and ministers repeatedly urged an exalted title; the khan refused. After the Chahar submitted they asked again; he still refused. Sahaliyan had Xifu and other inner ministers write, "We have asked repeatedly without your consent and tremble day and night. You withhold the title because we beile have not given full loyalty or long-term counsel. We swear to reform and serve faithfully—please accept the exalted title." The khan said, "Good. Sahaliyan speaks to my heart. Whether the beile swear—you head Rites; decide yourself." Next day Sahaliyan gathered the beile and presented their oath. The khan ordered Joseon informed; Sahaliyan added that beile should send envoys showing how many states submit and how strong the armies are." The khan approved.

崇德元年正月，薩哈璘有疾，上命希福諭曰：「群子弟中，整理治道，啟我所不及，助我所不能，惟爾之賴。爾其靜心調攝，以副朕望！」薩哈璘對曰：「蒙皇上溫旨眷顧，竊冀仰荷恩育，或可得生。即不幸先填溝壑，亦復何憾。但當大勛垂集，不能儘力國家，乃輾轉床蓐，為可恨耳！」希福還奏，上惻然曰：「國家豈有專事甲兵以為治理者？倘疆土日闢，克成大業，而明哲先萎，孰能助朕為理乎？」病革，屢臨視，見其羸瘠，淚下，薩哈璘亦悲痛不自勝。五月，卒。上震悼，入哭者四，自辰至午乃還。仍於庭中設幄坐，不御飲食，輟朝三日。祭時，上親奠，痛哭。詔褒薩哈璘明達敏贍，通滿、漢、蒙古文義，多所贊助，追封穎親王。上御翔鳳樓，偶假寐，夢人請曰：「穎親王乞賜牛一。」故事，親王薨，初祭以牛。薩哈璘以追封，未用，上命致祭如禮。康熙十年，追謚。

In Chongde 1, first month, Sahaliyan fell ill; the khan sent Xifu to say, "Of all my kin, only you extend my reach in governing the realm. Rest and recover—for my sake!" Sahaliyan answered, "Your kindness gives me hope I may yet live. If I must die, what regret? Yet great deeds are near and I lie helpless—that I cannot bear!" Xifu reported this; the khan said sadly, "Is rule only war? If the realm grows while the wisest die—who will help me govern?" As he sickened the khan visited again and wept at his wasting; Sahaliyan wept without end. He died in the fifth month. The khan mourned deeply, wept over the body four times from dawn till noon. He sat in a courtyard tent fasting and held no court for three days. At the rites the khan sacrificed in person and wept. An edict praised his clarity and aid in Manchu, Han, and Mongol affairs and posthumously made him Prince Ying. At Xiangfeng Tower the khan dozed and dreamed Prince Ying begged an ox. By custom a prince's first sacrifice requires an ox. As a posthumous prince he had not received it; the khan ordered the rite performed. In Kangxi 10 he received a posthumous name.

薩哈璘子三：阿達禮、勒克德渾、杜蘭。杜蘭，恩封貝勒，坐事，降鎮國公。

Sahaliyan had three sons: Adali, Lekdehun, and Dulan. Dulan was a grace-created beile, later demoted to state duke for an offense.

阿達禮，薩哈璘第一子。襲郡王。崇德三年，從伐喀爾喀。五年五月，偕濟爾哈朗駐義州，迎來歸蒙古多羅特部，明錦州杏山、松山兵出拒，擊敗之。師還，賜御廄良馬一。六年，圍錦州，降城中蒙古台吉諾木齊、吳巴什等，敗明援兵於錦州南山西岡。明兵復自松山沿海進援，我兵薄城下，擊殲其眾。圍松山，明兵來犯，擊敗之，斬千四百餘級。七年，明將夏承德約內應，夜半，我軍梯登，遂克松山。敘功，賜鞍馬一、蟒緞九十。尋管禮部，與議政。先是，上御篤恭殿，王以下皆侍立，碩託奏定儀制，上御殿及賜宴，親王以下皆跪迎，上升階方起，駕還清寧宮亦如之。貝勒阿巴泰伐明薊州，偕多鐸屯寧遠綴明師。八年，太宗崩，坐與碩託謀立睿親王，譴死。

Adali was Sahaliyan's eldest son. He succeeded as prince of the commandery. In Chongde 3 he joined the Khalkha campaign. In the fifth year, fifth month, he and Jirhala at Yizhou received submitting Dorot Mongols and beat Ming from Jinzhou, Xingshan, and Songshan. On return he received an imperial horse. In the sixth year at Jinzhou he took the surrender of Mongol taiji Nuomuqi and Wubashi in the city and routed Ming relief on the western hills south of Jinzhou. Ming relief came again along the coast from Songshan; our men under the walls wiped them out. At Songshan they beat off Ming assaults and took over fourteen hundred heads. In the seventh year Ming commander Xia Chengde plotted treachery; at midnight our men scaled the walls and took Songshan. For merit he received a mount and ninety python robes. He soon headed Rites and joined the deliberative council. Formerly at Dugong Hall all stood; Shuoto fixed court ritual—princes knelt to welcome the khan at audience and banquets until he mounted the steps, and the same when he returned to Qingning Palace. Beile Abatai raided Jizhou; Adali with Dodo held Ningyuan to pin Ming forces. When Hong Taiji died in the eighth year, Adali was executed for plotting with Shuoto to raise Prince Rui.

順承恭惠郡王勒克德渾，薩哈璘第二子。阿達禮譴死，緣坐，黜宗室。順治元年，復宗室，封貝勒。二年，命為平南大將軍，代豫親王多鐸駐江寧。時明魯王以海據浙東稱監國，其大學士馬士英等率兵渡錢塘江窺杭州，勒克德渾遣兵擊卻之。復遣梅勒額真珠瑪喇擊士英餘杭，和託擊明總兵方國安富陽，兩軍合營杭州城三十裡外。士英、國安復率兵渡江，又為梅勒額真濟席哈所敗，溺死者無算。十一月，明唐王聿鍵所置湖廣總督何騰蛟招李自成餘部，分據諸府縣，命勒克德渾偕鎮國將軍鞏阿岱率師討之。三年正月，師次武昌，遣護軍統領博爾輝等督兵進擊，戰臨湘，殲敵千餘。次岳州，降明將黑運昌。至石首，敵渡江犯荊州，遣尚書覺羅郎球等以偏師出南岸，伺敵渡，狙擊之。師乘夜疾馳，詰旦抵城下，分兩翼躪敵營，大破之，斬獲甚眾。薄暮，郎球等亦盡奪敵舟以歸。翌日，分遣奉國將軍巴布泰等逐敵，自安遠、南漳、喜峰山、關王嶺至襄陽，擊斬殆盡。次彞陵，自成弟孜及諸將田見秀、張耐、李佑、吳汝義等率馬步兵五千，詣軍前降，獲馬、驘、牛萬二千餘。捷聞，優詔班師，賜金百、銀二千。五年九月，進封順承郡王。尋偕鄭親王濟爾哈朗督兵攻湘潭，拔之，擒騰蛟。移師入廣西，攻全州。破趙廉，克永安關。逐土寇曹槓子，又敗之於道州。七年，師還，賜金五十、銀五千。八年，掌刑部事。九年三月，薨。康熙十年，追謚。

Prince Shuncheng Gonghui Lekdehun was Sahaliyan's second son. Adali's execution implicated Lekdehun and cast him from the clan. In Shunzhi 1 he rejoined the clan and was made beile. In the second year he became Pacification General of the South and replaced Prince Yu Dodo at Jiangning. Ming Prince of Lu Zhu Yihai held eastern Zhejiang; Ma Shiying crossed the Qiantang toward Hangzhou—Lekdehun drove him back. He sent Zhumarla against Ma Shiying at Yuhang and Hotuo against Fang Guo'an at Fuyang; both camps united thirty li from Hangzhou. Shiying and Guo'an crossed again and were shattered by Jisheha—countless drowned. In the eleventh month He Tengjiao, Huguang governor for the Tang Prince, rallied Zicheng's remnants; Lekdehun and Gong'adai were sent against them. In the third year, first month, camped at Wuchang he sent Bo'erhui against Linxiang and killed over a thousand. At Yuezhou Ming commander Hei Yunchang surrendered. At Shishou the enemy crossed toward Jingzhou; he sent Langqiu south of the river to ambush the crossing. They rode through the night, reached Jingzhou at dawn, swept both wings through the camps, and took many heads. At dusk Langqiu seized every enemy boat. Next day Babutai pursued from Anyuan and Nanzhang through Xifeng and Guanwang Ridge to Xiangyang and nearly exterminated them. At Yiling Zicheng's brother Zi and generals Tian Jianxiu, Zhang Nai, Li You, and Wu Ruyi surrendered five thousand men; over twelve thousand horses, mules, and oxen were taken. Victory brought orders to withdraw plus a hundred taels of gold and two thousand of silver. In the fifth year, ninth month, he was raised to Prince Shuncheng of the Commandery. He soon joined Prince Zheng Jirhala, took Xiangtan, and seized Tengjiao. He marched into Guangxi and attacked Quanzhou. He broke Zhao Lian and took Yong'an Pass. He drove the bandit Cao Gangzi and beat him again at Daozhou. In the seventh year, on return, he received fifty taels of gold and five thousand silver. In the eighth year he headed the Board of Punishments. He died in the ninth year, third month. In Kangxi 10 he received a posthumous name.

子勒爾錦，襲。康熙十一年，掌宗人府事。十二年，吳三桂反，命為寧南靖寇大將軍，率師討之。十三年，駐荊州。三桂兵陷沅州、常德，分兵抵巴東，逼襄陽，遣都統鄂內率兵防守。三月，三桂將劉之復率舟師犯彞陵，夾江立五營，遣護軍統領額司泰等水陸並擊，大敗之。四月，三桂將陶繼智復自宜都來犯，又敗之。七月，敗三桂將吳應麒等。十四年五月，三桂兵犯均州，遣都統伊裡布擊敗之。六月，叛將楊來嘉來犯，列陣山巔，自山溝下斷我師道，師擊之，斬三千餘級。疏言：「敵逼彞陵，兵眾舟多，請益戰艦以斷運道。」上從之。七月，三桂將王會等合來嘉犯南漳，遣伊裡布與總督蔡毓榮會師擊之。八月，疏言：「賊立壘掘塹，騎兵不能衝突。當簡綠旗步兵，造輕箭簾車、炮車併進，填壕發炮，繼以滿洲兵，庶可滅賊。」上復從之。十月，復興山。十二月，請發禁旅益師，上責其遷延。十五年，自荊州渡江，破敵於文村、於石首，復戰太平街，師敗績，退保荊州。九月，遣副都統塞格復鄖西。十八年，設隨徵四營，轄新增兵萬二千。

His son Le'erjin succeeded. In Kangxi 11 he presided over the Imperial Clan Court. In the twelfth year Wu Sangui rebelled; Le'erjin was named Pacification General of the South and marched against him. In the thirteenth year he garrisoned Jingzhou. Sangui took Yuanzhou and Changde, probed Badong and Xiangyang; Le'erjin sent Ene to defend. In the third month Liu Zhifu attacked Yiling with five river camps; Esitai beat him by land and water. In the fourth month Tao Jizhi came from Yidu and was beaten again. In the seventh month he routed Wu Yingqi and other Sangui generals. In the fourteenth year, fifth month, Sangui hit Junzhou; Yilibu repulsed him. In the sixth month rebel Yang Laijia held the heights and cut the road from the gully; Le'erjin attacked and took three thousand heads. He wrote, "The enemy masses at Yiling with many boats—send warships to sever their supply line." The emperor agreed. In the seventh month Wang Hui and Laijia struck Nanzhang; Yilibu joined Cai Yurong to beat them. In the eighth month he wrote, "Rebels entrench behind ditches—cavalry cannot break them. Send Green Standard foot with light shield-carts and gun-carts, fill ditches, blast with cannon, then Manchu horse—only thus can we destroy them." The emperor agreed again. In the tenth month Xingshan was retaken. In the twelfth month he asked for imperial guards as reinforcements; the emperor rebuked his slowness. In the fifteenth year he crossed from Jingzhou, won at Wencun and Shishou, then lost badly at Taiping Street and fell back on Jingzhou. In the ninth month Saige retook Yuxi. In the eighteenth year four campaign camps were formed over twelve thousand new troops.

三桂既死，復渡江克松滋、枝江、宜都及澧州，進取常德，敵焚廬舍、舟艦先遁，所置巡撫李益陽、按察院陳寶鑰等降。遣兵至青石渡，吳世璠將潘龍迎戰。師左右夾擊，追至平峪鋪，斬馘無算，敵墮崖死者甚眾。復衡山。攻歸州，敗世璠將廖進忠於馬黃山，追至西壤，復歸州、巴東。十九年，詔趣取重慶。疏請留將軍噶爾漢於荊州，親率師赴重慶。中途引還，具疏自劾，請解大將軍任，赴沅州軍自效，上責令還京師。下吏議，以老師糜餉，坐失事機，削爵。子勒爾貝，襲。二十一年，薨。弟揚奇，襲。二十六年，薨。弟充保，襲。三十七年，薨。弟布穆巴，襲。五十四年，坐以御賜鞍馬給優人，削爵。以從父諾羅布襲。

After Sangui's death he crossed again, took Songzi, Zhijiang, Yidu, and Li, and advanced on Changde; the enemy burned everything and fled; Li Yiyang and Chen Baoyue surrendered. At Qingshi Ford Pan Long, general to Wu Shifan, gave battle. Double envelopment chased them to Pingyu Post with countless dead and many flung from the cliffs. Hengshan was retaken. They stormed Guizhou, beat Liao Jinzhong at Mahuang Mountain, pursued to Xirang, and retook Guizhou and Badong. In the nineteenth year the court ordered Chongqing taken. He asked to leave Ga'erhan at Jingzhou and lead the main force to Chongqing. He turned back midway, impeached himself, offered to quit as grand general and serve at Yuanzhou; the emperor ordered him home. Tried for wasting supplies and missing the moment, he was stripped of rank. His son Le'erbei succeeded. He died in the twenty-first year. His brother Yangqi succeeded. He died in the twenty-sixth year. His brother Chongbao succeeded. He died in the thirty-seventh year. His brother Bumuba succeeded. In the fifty-fourth year he lost his title for giving an imperial saddle and horse to an actor. His uncle Nuoluobu succeeded.

Nuoluobu was Lekdehun's third son. He was first made a first-rank bodyguard. He rose to general of Hangzhou. He succeeded to the house. He died in the fifty-sixth year and was posthumously named Zhong.

子錫保，嗣。雍正三年，掌宗人府事，在內廷行走。四年，諭曰：「順承郡王錫保才具優長，乃國家實心效力之賢王，可給與親王俸。」授都統。坐徇貝勒延信罪不舉劾，又逮治遲誤，奪親王俸，降左宗正。七年三月，師討噶爾丹策零，命錫保署振武將軍印，駐軍阿爾台。九年，上以錫保治軍勤勞，進封順承親王，命守察罕叟爾。噶爾丹策零遣其將大策零敦多卜、小策零敦多卜、多爾濟丹巴入犯科布多，次克嚕倫，侵掠喀爾喀游牧。蒙古親王策棱等合師邀擊，遣台吉巴海夜入大策零敦多卜營挑戰，擊斬其將喀喇巴圖魯，大策零敦多卜等自哈布塔克拜達克遁歸。錫保疏報，得旨嘉獎。十一月，授靖遠大將軍。十年七月，策棱等敗敵額爾德尼昭。十一年，疏請城烏里雅蘇台，從之。尋以噶爾丹策零兵越克爾森齊老，不赴援，罷大將軍，削爵。

His son Xibao succeeded. In Yongzheng 3 he headed the Imperial Clan Court and walked in the inner court. In the fourth year the emperor said Prince Shuncheng Xibao was a worthy prince of real service and granted him princely stipend. He became commandant-in-chief. He shielded Beile Yanxin and botched arrests—princely stipend revoked, demoted to left clan chief. In the seventh year, third month, campaigning against Galdan Tsering, Xibao held the Quelling Martial General's seal at Altai. In the ninth year, for diligent command, he was raised to Prince Shuncheng and posted at Chahan Suo'er. Galdan Tsering sent Great and Lesser Tsering Dondup and Dorji Danba against Kobdo and Kelun to raid Khalkha pastures. Prince Celeng ambushed them; taiji Bahai raided Great Tsering Dondup's camp by night, killed Karabaturu, and the Dzungars fled from Habtak Baidak. Xibao reported victory and was commended. In the eleventh month he became Pacification General of the Far Reaches. In the tenth year, seventh month, Celeng won at Erdeni Juu. In the eleventh year he petitioned to fortify Uliassutai and was approved. When Galdan Tsering crossed K'ersen Chilao without relief, he was dismissed and disgraced.

Prince Qianxiang Wakeda was Daishan's fourth son. In Tiancong 1 at Ningyuan he helped rout Man Gui and was wounded. In Chongde 5 at Jinzhou he with a dozen riders cut down enemy foragers. In the sixth year Hong Chengchou brought a hundred thirty thousand to Songshan; enemy horse tried to seize our red cannons—Wakeda and Mandahai beat them off, and again in the rain. Assaulting Chengchou's foot, Fayasiha lost his mount; Wakeda gave him horses until he was clear. Haning'a was unhorsed and surrounded; Wakeda rode in and pulled him out. Shuoto's execution implicated Wakeda and cast him from the clan.

順治元年，從多爾袞入山海關，追擊李自成至慶都。復從阿濟格自邊外趨綏德。二年，自成遁湖廣，躡至安陸。賊方乘船遁，瓦克達偕巴牙喇纛章京鰲拜涉水登岸，射殪賊奪其船以濟大軍。三年，敘功，復宗室，援三等鎮國將軍。從多鐸剿蘇尼特部騰機思、騰機特等，至圖拉河，斬騰機思孫三、騰機特子二，及喀爾喀台吉十一，並獲其輜重。至布爾哈圖山，復與貝子博和託合軍，進斬千餘級，俘八百餘人，獲駝、馬、牛、羊無算。又擊敗喀爾喀土謝圖汗兵。四年，進封鎮國公。

In Shunzhi 1 he followed Dorgon through the Pass and chased Zicheng to Qingdu. He again marched with Ajige beyond the border toward Suide. In the second year they chased Zicheng to Anlu in Huguang. As bandits fled by boat, Wakeda and Oboi waded ashore, shot them down, and seized boats for the army. In the third year merit restored him to the clan as third-rank assistant general of the state. With Dodo against the Sunite Tengjisi and Tengjite he reached the Tula, slew their kin and eleven Khalkha taiji, and took their baggage. At Burhatu he joined Beizi Bohetuo, took a thousand heads, eight hundred prisoners, and countless livestock. He routed the Khalkha Tüsheet Khan's forces as well. In the fourth year he was raised to state duke.

五年，上念宗室貧乏，瓦克達賜銀六千，進封郡王。喀爾喀部二楚虎爾擾邊，從阿濟格防大同。復從討叛將薑瓖，圍渾源。六年，偕滿達海攻朔州，發炮隳其城。移攻寧武，瓖將劉偉、趙夢龍守焉，縱火，棄城走。瓖將楊振威斬瓖降阿濟格，偉、夢龍亦降於瓦克達，靜樂及寧化所、八角堡諸寨悉平。十月，代滿達海為徵西大將軍，剿山西餘寇。明大學士李建泰既降，復叛，踞太平。圍之二十餘日，窮蹙，出降。詔誅建泰及其兄弟子侄，籍家產入官。連復平陽屬縣三十六。七年，師還。八年，加封號，掌工部，預議政。九年，坐事，解部任，罷議政。薨。康熙十年，追謚。

In the fifth year the emperor, pitying poor clansmen, gave Wakeda six thousand taels and made him a commandery prince. When Khalkha Erchughur raided the border he guarded Datong with Ajige. He again joined the campaign against Jiang Xiang and besieged Hunyuan. In the sixth year he and Mandahai bombarded Shuozhou until the walls fell. At Ningwu Liu Wei and Zhao Menglong fired the town and fled. Yang Zhenwei killed Jiang and surrendered to Ajige; Liu Wei and Zhao Menglong yielded to Wakeda; Jingle, Ninghua, Bajiao, and other posts were pacified. In the tenth month he replaced Mandahai as Grand General of the Western Expedition against Shanxi holdouts. Ming grand secretary Li Jiantai had submitted but rebelled and held Taiping. After twenty days' siege he surrendered in desperation. Li Jiantai, his kin, and their estates were confiscated by order. Thirty-six Pingyang districts were retaken in turn. The army came home in the seventh year. In the eighth year he gained an honorific epithet, headed Works, and joined the council. In the ninth year misconduct cost him Works and a seat on the council. He died. In Kangxi 10 he received a posthumous name.

瓦克達嘗駐軍平陽，戢軍安民。既薨，平陽人建祠以祀。薨之明年，授其子留雍、哈爾薩三等奉國將軍品級。康熙六年，留雍、哈爾薩訴瓦克達功多，授哈爾薩鎮國公，留雍鎮國將軍。八年，留雍復以己爵卑，訟不平。議政王等言前爵夤緣輔政所得，宜並黜革，上命並降奉國將軍品級。二十一年，哈爾薩復訴瓦克達爵乃功封，例得襲。命襲鎮國公，並封其子海青輔國公。哈爾薩累遷右宗正。二十五年，詔責其鑽營，與海青並奪爵。又以留雍襲鎮國公。三十七年，復以惰，奪爵。乾隆四十三年，高宗錄瓦克達功，命其四世孫洞福以鎮國將軍世襲。

Wakeda had garrisoned Pingyang and kept his troops disciplined and the people at peace. After his death Pingyang built a shrine to him. The year after he died his sons Liuyong and Ha'ersa received third-rank grace assistant general. In Kangxi 6 his sons pleaded Wakeda's great service—Ha'ersa became state duke, Liuyong state assistant general. In the eighth year Liuyong sued again that his rank was unfairly low. The regents ruled the titles were bought during the regency—both sons were cut to grace assistant general. In the twenty-first year Ha'ersa argued Wakeda's title was merit-based and hereditary. Ha'ersa was restored as state duke and his son Haiqing made state-assisting duke. Ha'ersa rose to right clan chief. In the twenty-fifth year wire-pulling cost Ha'ersa and Haiqing their titles. Liuyong again succeeded as state duke. In the thirty-seventh year indolence stripped him again. In Qianlong 43 the emperor restored Wakeda's honors and made his fourth-generation descendant Dongfu hereditary state assistant general.

輔國公瑪占，代善第六子。天聰九年，多鐸自廣寧入寧遠、錦州綴明師，瑪占在事有功。崇德元年，從阿濟格入長城，至安州，克十二城。師還，上郊勞，賜酒一金卮，封輔國公。三年，從岳託自牆子嶺毀邊城，入密雲，連克台堡，越燕京趨山東，卒於軍。四年，喪歸，賜銀二千、駝馬各一。無子，未立後。

State-assisting Duke Mazhan was Daishan's sixth son. In Tiancong 9 Dodo pinned Ming at Ningyuan and Jinzhou from Guangning—Mazhan distinguished himself. In Chongde 1 he followed Ajige inside the Wall to Anzhou and took twelve towns. On return the khan met them beyond the walls with a golden cup of wine and made him state-assisting duke. In the third year he followed Yuetuo through Qiangzi Ridge into Miyun, stormed forts, swept toward Shandong past Beijing, and died on campaign. In the fourth year his funeral train brought two thousand taels, a camel, and a horse. He left no son and no heir was named.
