傅喇塔 Fùlǎtǎ

Son of Feiyangwu: Fulata, Beizi Huixian

Fulata, Beizi Huixian, was the fourth son of Feiyangwu. At first he was enfeoffed as Duke Who Assists the State. In the second year of Shunzhi, he followed Lekedehun in the campaign through Huguang, had merit, and was granted fifty taels of gold and a thousand taels of silver. In the fifth year, he again campaigned in Huguang, pursuing the enemy as far as Guangxi, and was granted six hundred taels of silver. In the sixth year, he was promoted to beizi. In the sixteenth year, for improper conduct at a court audience he was demoted to Duke Who Assists the State. In the eighteenth year, his title was restored. Edit

In the thirteenth year of Kangxi, Geng Jingzhong rebelled, and he was appointed General Who Calms the Seas and assisted Jieshu, Prince Kang of the First Rank, in attacking him. When the army reached Zhejiang, Wenzhou and Chuzhou had both fallen. Fulata's army advanced to Taizhou and fought at Huangrui Mountain, struck down and killed Jingzhong's generals Chen Peng and others, and again broke the enemy at Ziyun Mountain in Tiantai. In the fourteenth year, Jingzhong's general Zeng Yangxing again attacked Taizhou; the army struck his rear from Xianju and broke him, and exploiting victory besieged Huangyan; Yangxing fled and the city surrendered. In succession he recovered the counties of Taiping, Yueqing and Qingtian, advanced to attack Wenzhou, and broke the enemy at Nanjiang. In the fifteenth year, Jingzhong's troops, forty thousand strong, came to attack by water and land; the army met them by separate routes and killed three hundred of their generals and over twenty thousand soldiers. Edit

At first, when Fulata attacked Wenzhou, he gave as his reason that he was waiting for the red-coat cannon, and then said that war boats were needed, and Jieshu reported it by memorial. The emperor rebuked him for saying one thing and then another, and ordered him to take Wenzhou by a fixed date. Fulata memorialised: "Your servant, urged by the dispatch of Prince Kang of the First Rank, was bewildered and frightened and spoke wrongly and absurdly. Previously I was stationed at Taizhou, and the prince said: 'When Taizhou is broken, advance into Fujian.' When I took Huangyan, he said again: 'You must take Wenzhou.' He rebukes me on that account, and I have no reply. Now, receiving the grace of a fixed date to take Wenzhou, how dare I not exert all my strength? But Wenzhou is surrounded by water, and our army cannot suddenly enter." The emperor ordered Prince Kang to leave troops besieging Wenzhou and urged Fulata to lead his army from Quzhou to plan against Fujian. His edict said: "The prince and the beizi are both My close kin, and have received orders to attack the bandits; victory for an army lies in harmony, and you should be of one heart and join your strength to present great merit." Thereupon Fulata also left troops besieging Wenzhou, and himself led the army to attack Chuzhou, going up the river and reaching Desheng Mountain. Yangxing and others anchored several hundred boats in the river, and set up two camps, one on the opposite bank and one at Guxi at the foot of Desheng Mountain, to block our army. Fulata sent troops to attack Guxi and laid an ambush in the woods; the enemy was defeated, the ambush rose and cut them down, and at the same time cannon were fired that smashed the enemy boats and the camp on the opposite bank. The army advanced and halted at the Wenxi ferry crossing and defeated Jingzhong's general Ma Chenglong. Soon he joined Jieshu's army at Quzhou. Jingzhong's troops were camped at Shitang Ridge in Yunhe; he attacked them, broke twenty-eight of their ramparts, and took Yunhe. In the ninth month, the army entered Fujian, and Jingzhong surrendered. All the bandits of Zhejiang were pacified. In the eleventh month, he died with the army. When his coffin returned, he was granted sacrificial offerings and the posthumous name Huixian. Edit

His son Fushan still inherited as beizi. He was appointed Left Clan Councillor. He was relieved of his post because of illness. An edict rebuked Fushan for perversity and disorder and stripped his title. His younger brother Fucun inherited. When he died, his son Depu inherited as Duke Who Guards the State. He was appointed Left Clan Councillor. When he died, his son Henglu inherited as Duke Who Assists the State. He served Gaozong and held successively the posts of Vice Minister of Works, Left Clan Councillor, General of Suiyuan City and General of Shengjing, and was appointed Chamberlain of the Imperial Guard. When he died, he was given the posthumous name Gongyi. His son Xingzhao inherited as Duke Who Assists the State. He served Gaozong, followed the campaign against Jinchuan, and was a minister leading troops. He held successively the posts of Right Clan Councillor and General of Jingzhou. He attacked Dang'gala, Dehei, Rongbuzhai, Kakajiao and other places, with merit. When Jinchuan was pacified, his portrait was painted in the Ziguang Pavilion. He served successively as General of Xi'an and of Suiyuan City. Convicted over a matter, he was deprived of office. He was again appointed General of Jingzhou. When the Miao Shi Liudeng, Wu Bansheng, Wu Bayue and others rose in disorder, he and the Provincial Commander Hualianbu attacked Wu Bansheng, who surrendered; with E'ledengbao, Chamberlain of the Imperial Guard, and others he attacked Wu Bayue, and again attacked Shi Liudeng and wiped him out: he repeatedly received imperial favours and rewards. In the early years of Jiaqing, he campaigned against the sectarian bandits Yao Zhifu, Qi Wangshi and others, and the army long had no success; he was deprived of office and sent to garrison Wulumuqi. He was again appointed a guardsman and stationed at Hetian and Ta'erbahatai. Convicted over a matter, he was again deprived of office. His descendants still inherit as Duke Who Assists the State, in recognition of Fulata's merit. Edit

Among the grandsons of Shu'erhaqi, Zhakana, Tunqi and Luotuo all had merit and received titles. Edit
