Zhu Ying'e

Overview

Zhu Ying'e was a member of the Majia clan of the Bordered Yellow Banner of the Manchus in the early Qing Dynasty. His family had lived in Jiamuhu for generations and submitted to the Qing Dynasty at the beginning of the dynasty. The official genealogy of the Manchu clans of the Eight Banners, Volume 7, compiled during the Qianlong reign, records that his grandson Badamu held a fifth-rank official position; his great-grandson Husha held the position of City Gate Captain; Muxita held the position of Defense Commander; and Mucha held the position of Chief Clerk. Pan Sai, a military officer, participated in the campaign against Shaanxi, distinguished himself in the battle of Pingliang, and was awarded the title of Yunqiwei (a military rank). Later, he distinguished himself in the campaign against Galdan at Zhaomodo and was promoted to Cavalry Captain.

The title of City Gate Captain involved guarding the city gates; Defense Commander and Military Officer belonged to different banner camps; Chief Clerk was a civil official position. The fifth-rank official position only records the rank and does not specify Badamu's specific duties. Pan Sai's Yunqiwei and Cavalry Captain were hereditary titles; his two military achievements led to an increase in rank, but did not necessarily mean he held two different cavalry camps as officers.

Pan Sai's sons, Pase and Shibao, inherited these titles. Yuansun Xuntaha served as Langzhong, Changlu and Huaisai as Yuanwailang, and the fourth-generation descendant Shenbu served as Bujun Fuwei, Nuhe as Zuoling, and Desongge as Wujinshi. Wujinshi was a qualification obtained through the military examination, but this did not equate to actual military appointment; civil officials and military officers must be described separately. The modern location of Jiamuhu, the order of succession among brothers, and the dates of various appointments are still to be verified. Pan Sai's military achievements cannot be attributed to his ancestor Zhuying'e.
