Son: Boluo
Boluo was the third son of Abatai. In the ninth year of Tiancong he went on the campaign against the Ming and earned merit. In the first year of Chongde he was made Beizi. In the second year he took part in the deliberations of state. In the third year he was made Administrator of the Court of Colonial Affairs. He went on the attack on Ningyuan and made for Zhonghousuo. The Ming general Zu Dashou fell on our army's rear; the bayara standard commander Haning'a and others held him off, and Boluo dashed forward and struck hard, and Dashou drew back. In the fifth year he went with Ji'erhalang to receive the Mongol Subandai, who was coming over to submit, defeated Ming troops, and was given a fine horse. Soon he took turns with the other princes in besieging Jinzhou. In the sixth year, when Hong Chengchou came to relieve Jinzhou with 130,000 men, Boluo and Ajige attacked them, reached Tashan, and seized the grain stored on Bijia Mountain; and with Luoluohun and others he laid an ambush at A'erzhai Fort and defeated the Ming generals Wang Pu and Wu Sangui. Edit
In the first year of Shunzhi he went with the army through the passes, defeated Li Zicheng, and was raised to Beile. He went with Duoduo on the campaign in Henan. In the second year they defeated Zicheng at Tong Pass. On Duoduo's southern campaign, after Jiangning was taken, half the army was given to Boluo; he took Changzhou and Suzhou and made for Hangzhou, defeating the Ming troops again and again. When the army reached the bank of the Qiantang River, the Ming troops thought the river tide was at its height and that the camp would soon be flooded, but as it happened the tide did not come for days on end; the Ming Prince of Lu, Changfang, surrendered Hangzhou, and the Prince of Huai, Changqing, also surrendered from Shaoxing. Boluo took Jiaxing, took Wujiang, crushed the Ming general Wu Yi, and attacked Jiangyin, which also fell. When the army returned he was given two hundred taels of gold, fifteen thousand of silver, and a saddled horse. Edit
In the third year he was appointed Grand General Who Conquers the South and led an army to garrison Hangzhou. The Ming Prince of Lu, Yihai, was acting as Regent of the State at Shaoxing, and the Ming general Fang Guo'an was camped east of the Qiantang River, his line stretching two hundred li. The army had no boats; but just then the sandbanks of the river rose suddenly, and the gushan ejen Tulai and others led the troops straight across on foot; Guo'an fled in alarm, and Yihai fled to Taizhou. The army entered Shaoxing, went on to take Jinhua, attacked and killed the Ming Prince of Shu, Shengnong, and others, and went on again to take Quzhou; Zhejiang was pacified. The Ming Prince of Tang, Yujian, held Fujian; Boluo led the army to break through Xianxia Pass and took Pucheng, Jianning and Yanping. Yujian fled to Tingzhou; Boluo sent Ajige, Nikan, Nushan and others with troops after him, who took Tingzhou and captured Yujian, the Prince of Quyang, Shengdu, and others. The Ming general Jiang Zhengxi made a night attack with twenty thousand men; they drove him back and took more than ten thousand heads. They also broke the enemy at Fenshui Pass and took Chong'an. The meile ejen Zhuobutai and others took Fuzhou, killed the Governor Yang Tingqing and others whom the Ming had appointed, and received the surrender of their generals, Zheng Zhilong and others, more than 290 in all, with over 110,000 horse and foot. The army advanced again and took the prefectures of Xinghua, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou. In the eleventh month he sent the amban janggin Tong Yangjia to take Guangdong; he took Chaozhou, Huizhou and Guangzhou, and attacked and killed the Ming Prince of Tang, Yujian, and more than ten princes and Heir Princes; acting on the emperor's authority, Boluo made Yangjia Governor-General of Liangguang. In the fourth year the army returned, and he was raised to Prince Duanchong of the Second Rank. In the fifth year he was given gold, silks and captives from what had been taken. Edit
With Ajige he guarded against the Ka'erka, took Datong, and campaigned against the rebel general Jiang Xiang. In the first month of the sixth year, with Shuose, he went to relieve Daizhou and took its outer wall. In the third month Xiang's general Ma Desheng pressed on our army from the northern hills with five thousand men; Boluo met him with over a thousand horsemen and, with the bayara standard commander Aobai and others, struck hard and crushed him, killing or capturing more than half; Xiang shut his gates and dared not come out. Duo'ergun, Prince Rui of the First Rank, came from the capital to the army to discuss winning the rebels over, and, acting on the emperor's authority, raised Boluo to Prince of the First Rank and appointed him Grand General Who Settles the West. Boluo moved the army to Fenzhou, took Qingyuan, Jiaocheng, Wenshui, Xugou, Qi and other counties, and fought at Pingyang and Jiangzhou; he also sent troops to take Xiaoyi, and fought at Shouyang, Pingyao, Liaozhou and Yuci, winning again and again. Ajige, Prince Ying of the First Rank, and Nikan, Prince Jingjin of the First Rank, besieged Datong, and Mandahai, Prince Xun of the First Rank, and Wakeda, Prince Qian of the Second Rank, pacified Shuozhou and Ningwu. When Boluo was recalled to the capital, he memorialised: "Although the counties under Taiyuan, Pingyang and Fenzhou are gradually being recovered, many have not yet fallen, and I fear that once the army is withdrawn the rebels will seize them while they lie undefended; I ask to stay on to hold them." The emperor agreed. After Xiang was killed, he joined forces with Mandahai to take Fenzhou, recovered the two counties of Lan and Yongning, and fought at Mengcheng Post, Laojun Temple and other places in Jiangzhou, wiping out the last of Xiang's followers, and then brought the army back. In the seventh year he, Mandahai and Nikan together managed the business of the Six Ministries. Found guilty again in a matter, he was reduced to Prince of the Second Rank. When Shizu took the government into his own hands, his rank was restored. Soon he was ordered to take charge of the Ministry of Revenue. In the third month of the ninth year he died and was given the posthumous name Ding. Edit
His son Qikexin inherited. In the sixteenth year Boluo was judged after his death for taking a share of the property Duo'ergun had left, and for not resisting firmly when, while he was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, the Minister Tan Tai served his own ends and seized power; he was stripped of his rank and posthumous name, and Qikexin was reduced to Beile. In the eighteenth year Qikexin died, with the posthumous name Huaisi. He had no son, and the rank lapsed. Boluo's son Ta'erna was made Prince of the Second Rank; he died, with the posthumous name Minsi. Because of Boluo's crime, his rank was taken away after his death. Edit
