Lai Lu

Overview

Lailu was a member of the Irgen Gioro clan in the early Qing Dynasty, whose family had lived in Dobaku for generations before submitting to the Qing Dynasty at the beginning of the dynasty. The official genealogy of the Manchu clans of the Eight Banners, Volume 15, compiled during the Qianlong reign, lists him as belonging to the Bordered White Banner, with a note at the end indicating a change of affiliation from the Plain Yellow Banner. The original entry did not list his official position, but it records that his great-grandson, Gurne, once served as a military officer; Sandali is recorded as a current sixth-rank official; Sulintai is a current scribe; and his fourth-generation descendant, Nartai, once served as an infantry officer, and Laha once served as a defense officer.

Military officers, infantry officers, and defense officers belonged to different military organizational management categories. A scribe was responsible for translating official documents, and a sixth-rank official only had a rank, not a title, and therefore could not be assigned a specific military position. The fifth-generation descendant, Wuertai, and Guanbao's residence was written as "Wuzan (original graph uncertain)" (wuzan) in the electronic text, but the system had a different name for this honor. Whether the transcribing was a variant should be verified against the original text, and their duties should not be directly overwritten or added to the existing records.

The sixth-generation descendant, Fuge, is currently a third-class guard, while Baige and Liangzhu are currently cavalry captains. Guards are mostly attendants of the prefecture, while cavalry captains manage banner soldiers and cannot be confused with imperial guards. "Currently" only refers to the status at the time of genealogy compilation. The time of banner change, multiple generations of paternal lineage, and the modern location of Dobaku still need to be supplemented by other original data. The specific prefecture or government office not recorded will not be determined.
