Clan and Banner Background

The Wentehe clan is recorded in volume 50 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, with families associated with Zhusheli. Gahuda of the Bordered Blue Banner submitted early. His fifth-generation descendants Esu and Yaqin served as second- and third-class household guards, while fourth-generation descendant Yinbu became a guard-company officer. Yinbu distinguished himself in campaigns in Yunnan and Guizhou but died fighting at Qinzhou, receiving a posthumous qidu wei with an additional yunqiwei.

Family Service and Distinctions

Yinbu's son Shuose inherited the award. Because Shuose died without an heir, it subsequently passed to Yanzhu, the son of his paternal uncle, and then to Qishenbao, who became deputy lieutenant-general at Jiangning. This succession included both direct and collateral lines, whereas the Jiangning appointment was an actual garrison command, not the inherited title itself.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

Other descendants included Yaha, an assistant ministry director; Tuoheqi, a ceremonial officer; and Ningguqi, a deputy cavalry-company officer. Household guard grades, guard-company posts, ceremonial duties, and civilian administration belonged to different establishments. The exact location of Zhusheli, the kinship lines, and the dates of appointments require corroboration.
