Background and Banner Affiliation

Jisai was the fifth son of Yindahuqi Mo'ergen, a Guwalgiya family elder. The Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, volume 1, records Jisai under the Bordered White Banner, following an earlier transfer from the Bordered Yellow Banner. He commanded a niru and fought during the Qing entry into China proper, including operations at Shanhai Pass and Qingdu. He received the hereditary military rank yunqiwei and subsequently served as a senior official of the Imperial Stables, or Shangsi Yuan.

Career, Campaigns, and Offices

The niru command involved the administration of registered banner households and soldiers. The Shangsi Yuan, by contrast, was a court institution responsible for imperial horses, stables, equipment and related services. It was not simply a local postal station. The hereditary distinction earned by Jisai was another matter, governed by rules of transmission and subsequent increases.

Hereditary Honors and Source Limits

After his death, his son Wubohe succeeded to the hereditary rank and received an increase to qidu wei through imperial favor. Wubohe's younger brother Lubohe then succeeded. Jisai's younger brother Naduhu had held an independent second-class qingche duwei distinction, which Lubohe also inherited after Naduhu died without heirs; this latter award was subsequently withdrawn. In the first Qianlong year, Lubohe's third son Qige received qidu wei. None of these later changes should be presented as titles gained personally by Jisai during his lifetime.
