Background and Banner Affiliation

Mulima was a Guwalgiya military commander of the Bordered Yellow Banner, the sixth son of Weiqi and a younger brother of Oboi. Volume 1 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners records his initial inheritance of a third-class qingche duwei distinction from his father and subsequent increases through imperial favors. He participated in campaigns against Jin Shenghuan in Jiangxi and Li Laiheng's forces in Huguang. His posts included dutong and the military command styled General for the Pacification of the West, while his hereditary distinctions advanced to first-class baron.

Career, Campaigns, and Offices

A dutong governed banner forces, a generalship was a military command or appointment, and a hereditary barony belonged to a separate award system. The Draft History of Qing also records Mulima as minister of the Board of Works, a central institution concerned with construction and matériel. It differs in its wording about the initial hereditary rank, referring to a niru janggin; the divergence requires direct comparison with the original genealogical entry and related court records.

Hereditary Honors and Source Limits

The Draft History of Qing, volume 249, associates his execution with the political case against Oboi, while the genealogy emphasizes the forfeiture of his hereditary distinctions and the absence of ordinary succession. In Kangxi's sixtieth year an ancestral qidu wei award associated with Weiqi was restored to Mulima's great-grandson Chakeshen. This later inheritance did not signify Mulima's posthumous reinstatement as a general. Sources: Eight Banners Manchu Clan Genealogy, vol. 1; Draft History of Qing, vol. 249.
