Brada

Overview

Buladai was a member of the Irgen Gioro clan, a bondservant of the Bordered Red Banner, during the early Qing Dynasty. His family had lived in Wahumu for generations and submitted to the Qing Dynasty at the beginning of the dynasty. The official genealogy of the Eight Banners Manchu clans, Volume 15, compiled during the Qianlong reign, does not record his official position, but it does record that his son, Dahan, served as a Zuo Ling (military officer); his grandsons, Hushiba and Yantai, served as Hujunxiao (military officers); and Wuli served as a First-Class Guard. His great-grandsons also had several Canling (military officers), and there are also lists of Second-Class Guards and Hujunxiao. Long passages of names must be verified against the original text to avoid combining multiple individuals into one name.

Boatser were a specific subordinate organization within the Eight Banners, which also included military and administrative officials. They cannot be simply equated with unemployed employees. Zuo Ling managed the basic organizational structure, Can Ling were in charge of relevant banner camps, and Hujunxiao participated in the military management of the imperial guards. First-Class and Second-Class Guards mostly belonged to the prefectural guard system and should not be confused with the emperor's bodyguards.

Yuan Sun Nert once served as a first-class guard and captain, while Shase and Daishang'a were only recorded as eighth-rank and fifth-rank officials respectively. Jinzhu is currently a military officer. Those who only held official ranks did not have their titles added, and holding concurrent positions did not necessarily mean that their ancestors had already held the same positions. The location of Wahumu, the affiliation of the bondservant groups, the direct paternal lineage of each generation, and the terms of military service still need to be verified by cross-referencing the original inscriptions and archives.
