Clan and Banner Background

The Tumen clan appears in volume 56 of the Qianlong-era Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, with Ula recorded as its ancestral region. The principal forebear Zhulu belonged to the Plain White Banner; the date of his submission is not established. Ula denotes a historical region in the northeast, associated with the Jilin Ula area, and cannot simply be reduced to the borders of a modern township.

Family Service and Distinctions

Zhulu's grandson Heshen served as a cavalry-company officer in campaigns in Jiangxi and Huguang and received yunqiwei for actions around Jianchang and Shuangjingpu in Wugang; his son Yatu inherited it. A different grandson, Hete, campaigned in Jiangxi as a seventh-grade official, earned a separate yunqiwei for fighting near Qianjinpo, and was succeeded by his son Luomi. The two rewards arose from distinct military deeds; they were not one honour passed back and forth between brothers.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

Great-grandsons followed other careers: Mingkai became vice president of the Court of Colonial Affairs, Aixingtai a censor, and Huerchan a superintendent of imperial tombs. These institutions handled frontier affairs, official oversight, and tomb administration respectively. Actual military appointments likewise differed from hereditary distinctions. The complete genealogy and exact ancestral settlement require further verification.
