Tanggudai, General Kejie Who Guards the State
Tanggudai, General Kejie Who Guards the State, was the fourth son of Taizu. Serving Taizong, he was made gushan ejen. When the four cities of Yongping were taken, Tanggudai, with Tu'erge and Namutai, held Luanzhou. In the fourth year of Tiancong, when the Ming troops pressed hard on Luanzhou, the Beile Amin was afraid and dared not go to its relief, but sent Baduli with several hundred men to break through the siege, and at the third watch of the night they got into Luanzhou. Then the Ming troops broke the walls with cannon and the gate tower caught fire, and Tanggudai and the others abandoned the city and fled to Yongping. When they came back, Taizong questioned them at court, and Tanggudai admitted his guilt and asked to die. Taizong said: "You could not bring the army back whole; what good would killing you do?" He was sent to the proper office for sentence; he was spared death, removed as gushan ejen, deprived of the people under him, and his household property was confiscated. In the eighth year he was made a meile janggin of the third class. In the fourth year of Chongde he was made General Who Guards the State, third class. In the fifth year he died. Edit
He had two sons. Mu'ercha was first made General Who Supports the State, third class, inherited the rank, and was raised to the second class; when he died he was given the posthumous name Kegong. Niekesai inherited Mu'ercha's rank of General Who Supports the State, third class. He went with Duoduo to raid Ningyuan and with Duo'ergun to secure the capital, and pursued Li Zicheng to Qingdu, earning merit each time, and was raised step by step to Duke Who Guards the State. Found guilty in a matter, he was reduced to General Who Guards the State, third class. In the fourth year of Kangxi he died. He had no son, and the rank lapsed. Edit
