Clan and Banner Background

The Niqili clan is included in volume 53 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, with members around Ula and elsewhere. One branch descended from Suka of the Plain Red Banner, another from Aidu of the Bordered Yellow Banner. The same clan designation thus encompassed separate banner registrations and did not mean that all members belonged to one company or one official hierarchy.

Family Service and Distinctions

Suka's great-grandson Asihu became vice censor-in-chief, was subsequently reduced to a fourth-grade position, and died during fighting at Yanshan Ridge in Huguang. He received a posthumous yunqiwei, inherited by his son Buerqini, who also became a guard-battalion commander. Another great-grandson, Bulike, fought in a campaign against Burni of the Chahars as a seventh-grade officer and earned a separate yunqiwei, later inherited by Fucheng'e, a descendant of Bulike's younger brother.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

Aidu submitted with his brothers during the Tiancong years. A grandson of his elder brother Deerxiu, A'erhuchan, served as deputy lieutenant-general at Qingzhou. Deputy lieutenant-general and guard-battalion command were different levels of military responsibility. Tiancong dates Aidu's submission to the preconquest Later Jin period; the ancestral village at Ula and the degree of kinship between both lines remain unresolved.
