About Ortai 鄂爾泰

O-êr-t'ai 鄂爾泰 (T. 毅庵 H. 西林) Mar. Apr., 1680-1745, May 23, official, first Earl Hsiang-ch'in 襄勤伯. was a member of the Silin Gioro clan and belonged to the Manchu Bordered Blue Banner. His great-grandfather, Tumen 圖捫, died in 1631 of wounds received at the battle of Ta-ling-ho (see under Abahai), and was posthumously given the minor hereditary rank of Ch'i-tu-yü. O-êr-t'ai's father, Oboi 鄂拜, served as libationer of the Imperial Academy from 1691 to 1695. O-êr-t'ai learned both Manchu and Chinese and became a chü-jên in 1699. In 1703 he was appointed captain of the company to which his family belonged. In the same year he was made a senior Imperial Bodyguard of the third rank; but owing to his knowledge of Chinese was promoted, in 1716, to the post of an assistant department director of the Imperial Household. In this post he became known for his strict observance of custom, and once declined a summons he received from Yin-chên [q.v.], then a prince, for a private interview. After the latter ascended the throne, he appointed O-êr-t'ai an examiner in the Yunnan provincial examination. Soon after the latter returned from Yunnan he was made financial commissioner of Kiangsu, a post in which he greatly encouraged the work of the local students. He edited their best essays and poems, including some of his own, in a collection, entitled 南邦黎獻集 Nan-pang li-hsien chi, 16 chüan, printed in 1725.

In 1725 O-êr-t'ai was promoted to the governorship of Kwangsi, but when he went to Peking for preliminary instructions he was appointed instead governor of Yunnan, and acting governor-general of Yunnan and Kweichow. In March 1726 he arrived in Yunnan and at once attacked the problems confronting him, namely, disaffection among the aborigines and reform of provincial finances. The aborigines of that region, known in general as Miao, but also by other tribal names, were ruled by chieftains who had been recognized officially as hereditary administrators. Often, however, they gave concern to the authorities. O-êr-t'ai's policy, known as 改土歸流 kai-t'u kuei-liu was to abolish the hereditary chieftainships and to govern the tribes as part of the provincial administrative system. He first applied his policy to the aborigines of Kuang-shun, Kweichow, who were pacified in 1726, and their hereditary chieftainshipa abolished. He went to Kweichow to conduct in person the trial of the insurgent chieftains, and in November 1726 was made governor-general of Yunnan and Kweichow. Meanwhile the chieftains at Wu-mêng and Chên-hsiung in southeastern Szechwan, apprehensive of their fate, became restive. On his way back to Yunnan O-êr-t'ai cooperated with Yüeh Chung-ch'i [q.v.], governor-general of Szechwan, in forcing these chieftains to surrender. By 1727 their territory was pacified and jurisdiction was transferred to Yunnan. For this achievement O-êr-t'ai was awarded the minor hereditary rank of Ch'i tu-yü and later in the same year, for pacifying 184 groups of Miao tribesmen in the Ch'ang-chai region, Kweichow, he was elevated to the hereditary rank of Ch'ing-ch'ê tu-yü of the first class. In 1727 there broke out s rebellion of the Ch'ê-li and other tribes in southwestern Yunnan. That region was likewise stabilized (1728) and most of the land which was subject to an hereditary chieftain with the clan name, Tiao 刁, was organized into a prefecture called P'u-êr (1729).

After capturing several rebellious chieftains (1728) of the Tung-ch'uan region, O-êr-t'ai was made governor-general also of the province of Kwangsi where aborigines on the border of Kweichow had rebelled. Placed thus in control of three provinces, he was determined to put an end to trouble with the aborigines by appeasing the tribes that submitted and subduing by force those that resisted. In 1729 his rank was raised to an hereditary baron of the third class. Meanwhile, with the help of Chang Kuang-ssû [q.v.], he succeeded in pacifying many Miao in the Ku-chou region, Kweichow, and for this was given the title of Junior Guardian. He made it a fixed policy to confiscate, whenever possible, the land of the aboriginal chiefs. Those chiefs who offered resistance were executed or banished and the rest were either allowed to remain with an annual stipend or were shifted to other provinces. Several local uprisings were quickly extinguished, the most serious being that at Wu-mêng in 1730 (see under Hu Yüan-shêng). Thus during his term of office of more then six years in Yunnan, O-êr-t'ai succeeded in reducing the power of the aboriginal chiefs and in greatly extending the taxable lands of the state.

Other achievements of O-êr-t'ai in Yunnan included reforms in the salt and copper-mining industries, and reorganization of the mints so that they yielded substantial profits. Early in 1732 he was summoned to Peking and was made a Grand Secretary, and concurrently president of the Board of War and Grand Councillor. For his success in stabilizing the Miao, he was made an Earl of the first class with rights of perpetual inheritance. In September 1732 he was sent to supervise military affairs in Shênsi and Kansu, and to look after the transport of supplies for the armies campaigning against the Eleuths (see under Tsereng and Yüeh Chung-ch'i). Upon his return to Peking in the following year (1733) he advised the emperor on the futility of fighting the Eleuths and advocated a peaceful settlement. It seems that this advice was heeded, for the campaign was temporarily abandoned (see under Yin-chên and Chang T'ing-yü).

When a rebellion of Miao tribesmen at T'ai-kung, Kweichow, broke out in 1735 and presently became ominous, O-êr-t'ai was commissioned, along with Prince Pao (i.e., Hung-li, q.v.), Chang T'ing-yü [q.v.], and two other princes to supervise their pacification. He blamed himself for not having foreseen this disaster when, as governor-general, he had charge of Miao affairs, and therefore offered to relinquish his hereditary rank. His request was granted, but he was allowed to retain the rank of baron of the third class.

When Emperor Shih-tsung was dying in 1735 he gave to O-êr-t'ai and Chang T'ing-yü his last command, making Hung-li heir-apparent. He ordered O-êr-t'ai, Chang and two princes to assist the crown prince in conducting affairs of state, and declared that since O-êr-t'ai and Chang had shown themselves dependable and loyal, their names should, after their decease, be celebrated in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Shortly after Emperor Kao-tsung ascended the throne he raised the hereditary rank of O-êr-t'ai, first to viscount (1735) and later to earl of the third class (early in 1738). Thereafter O-êr-t'ai controlled several important posts and served as director-general for the compilation of several official publications of his time. Once he was dispatched to inspect conservancy work on the Yellow River (1739). In 1745 he asked to resign on grounds of illness but was granted instead leave to recover. At this time the Emperor visited him in person and gave him the title of Grand Tutor. After his death O-êr-t'ai was canonized as Wên-tuan 文端 and his name was celebrated in the Imperial Ancestral Temple and in the Temple of Eminent Statesmen.

As an able administrator, O-êr-t'ai enjoyed the full confidence of Emperor Shih-tsung. Hence he gradually became the leader of a group of officials of whom some became his disciples and others his admirers. Chang T'ing-yü enjoyed almost the same recognition as O-êr-t'ai and also had a political following. Conflict between the two groups was therefore inevitable, and the early Ch'ien-lung period is marked by their dissentions. Among Chang's supporters may be mentioned Chang Chao, Shih I-chih [qq.v.] and Wang Yu-tun (see under Yü Min-chung). O-êr-t'ai's following included not only Manchus but also Chinese, among them Hsü Pên 徐本 (T. 立人 H. 是齋, 何山 1683-1747, posthumous name 文穆) and Hu Chung-tsao 胡中藻 (T. 翰千 H. 堅山, d. 1755). Hsü was a native of Hangchow and a son of Hsü Ch'ao 徐湖 (T. 雪崖 H. 浩軒, 青來, 1647-1715, posthumous name 文敬), one-time president of the Board of Civil Office (1708-10). A chin-shih of 1718, he served under O-êr-t'ai in Kweichow as educational commissioner (1726-29) and as provincial judge (1729-31). He highly praised his superior to the Emperor. Later he was called to Peking and served, together with O-êr-t'ai, as a Grand Secretary (1736-44). Hu Chung-tsao was a native of Hsin-chien, Kiangsi, and became a chin-shih in 1736. He proclaimed with pride that his relation to O-êr-t'ai was that of a pupil to a master. He was, moreover, an intimate friend of O-ch'ang 鄂昌 (chü-jên of 1724, d. 1755), who was a nephew of O-êr-t'ai and was one-time governor of Kansu (1754-55). Hu served as educational commissioner in Shênsi (1744-47) and Kwangsi (1747-49), and was the author of a collection of poems entitled 堅磨生詩鈔 Chien-mo-shêng shih-ch'ao, printed about 1752.

But early in 1755 the Emperor came across several poems in which Hu is alleged to have referred disrespectfully to the Manchus. It was ordered that he be arrested and all his writings investigated. On April 23 a long decree was issued allegedly showing by quotations from his writings that he had offended the Manchus, had shown disrespect to the Emperor, and had condemned Chang T'ing-yü and his faction. On May 21 he was sentenced to decapitation. Several of Hu's friends who had contributed toward the printing of his works or had exchanged poems with him were also punished. O-ch'ang was ordered to commit suicide for having written poems allegedly unfavorable to the Manchus and for corrupt practices. O-êr-t'ai was posthumously blamed for having fostered factional disputes, and his name was removed from the Temple of Eminent Statesmen.

The hereditary rank of earl of the third class was inherited by O-êr-t'ai's eldest son, O-jung-an 鄂容安 (T. 虛亭, posthumous name 剛烈, chin-shih of 1733), and in 1749 the designation Hsiang-ch'in 襄勤 was prefixed to the earldom. After O-jung-an lost his life at the hands of the Eleuths in 1755 (see under Bandi), O-êr-t'ai's second son, O-shih 鄂實 (posthumous name 果壯), volunteered to go to the front, but was killed in action near Yarkand in 1758 (see under Chao-hui). Both brothers were celebrated in the Temple of Zealots of the Dynasty, their portraits being hung in the hall, Tzû-kuang ko (see under Chao-hui).

O-êr-t'ai left a collection of prose writings, entitled 西林遺稿 Hsi-lin i-kao, 6 chüan, which was first published only in part, but was printed in full in 1774. A collection of his poems, 文蔚堂詩集 Wên-wei-t'ang shih-chi, 8 chüan, seems to exist only in manuscript.

Of various government publications compiled under O-êr-t'ai's direction, the following may be mentioned: commentaries to the classics on ceremony, entitled San-Li i-shu (see under Fang Pao and Li Fu); a history of the Manchu Banner System, entitled Pa-ch'i t'ung-chih (see under Li Fu); a genealogy of the Manchu clans and families, entitled Pa-ch'i Man-chou shih-tsu t'ung-p'u, 80 + 2 chüan, printed early in 1745 (see under Anfiyanggû on the laws governing Bannermen, entitled Pa-ch'i tsê-li (則例), 12 chüan, printed in 1746; on the laws governing the military affairs of the empire, entitled 中樞政考 Chung-chü chêng-k'ao, 31 chüan, printed in 1746; an illustrated treatise on agriculture, entitled Shou-shih t'ung-k'ao, 78 chüan, completed in 1742 (see under Ch'ên Tzû-lung and Sung Ying-hsing); and a general treatise on medicine, entitled 醫宗金鑑 I-tsung chin-chien, 90 + 1 chüan, completed in 1743 and printed about the same time.

一等襄勤伯 鄂爾泰(四) (毅菴 諡文端)生平 (中文)

賜襄勤伯 字毅菴 諡文端 鑲藍旗滿洲 世居汪秦地方 康熙己卯科舉人

《清史稿》卷288

鄂爾泰,字毅庵,西林覺羅氏,滿洲鑲藍旗人,世居汪欽。國初有屯泰者,以七村附太祖,授牛彔額真。子圖捫,事太宗,從戰大凌河,擊明將張理,陣沒,授備禦世職。雍正初,祀昭忠祠。

鄂爾泰,其曾孫也。康熙三十八年舉人。四十二年,襲佐領,授三等侍衛。從聖祖獵,和詩稱旨。五十五年,遷內務府員外郎。世宗在藩邸,偶有所囑,鄂爾泰拒之。世宗即位,召曰:「汝為郎官拒皇子,其執法甚堅。」深慰諭之。雍正元年,充雲南鄉試考官,特擢江蘇布政使。於廨中建春風亭,禮致能文士,錄其詩文為南邦黎獻集。以應得公使銀買穀三萬三千四百石有奇,分貯蘇、松、常三府備賑貸。察太湖水利,擬疏下游吳淞、白茆,役未舉。

三年,遷廣西巡撫,甫上官,調雲南,以巡撫治總督事。貴州仲家苗為亂二十餘年,巡撫石禮哈、提督馬會伯請用兵,上未即許。巡撫何世璂疏言仲家苗藥箭銛利,地勢險阻,用兵不易,上即命世璂招撫,久未定,詔諮鄂爾泰。四年春,疏言:「雲、貴大患無如苗、蠻。欲安民必制夷,欲制夷必改土歸流。而苗疆多與鄰省相錯,即如東川、烏蒙、鎮雄,皆四川土府,東川距雲南四百餘里。去冬烏蒙攻掠東川,滇兵擊退,而川省令箭方至。烏蒙距雲南省城亦僅六百餘里,錢糧不過三百餘兩,取於下者百倍。一年四小派,三年一大派,小派計錢,大派計兩。土司娶子婦,土民三載不敢婚。土民被殺,親族尚出墊刀數十金,終身不見天日。東川雖已改流,尚為土目盤據,文武長寓省城,膏腴四百里無人敢墾。若改隸雲南,俾臣得相機改流,可設三府、一鎮。此事連四川者也。廣西土府、州、縣、峒、寨等一百五十餘員,分隸南寧、太平、思恩、慶遠四府。其為邊患,自泗城土府外,皆土目橫於土司。黔、粵以牂牁江為界,而粵屬西隆州與黔屬普安州越江互相斗入。苗寨寥闊,將吏推諉。應以江北歸黔,江南歸粵,增州設營,形格勢禁。此事連廣西者也。滇邊西南界以灁滄江,江外為車里、緬甸、老撾諸境,其江內鎮沅、威遠、元江、新平、普洱、茶山諸夷,巢穴深邃,出沒魯魁、哀牢間,無事近患腹心,有事遠通外國。論者謂江外宜土不宜流,江內宜流不宜土。此雲南宜治之邊夷也。貴州土司向無鉗束群苗之責,苗患甚於土司。苗疆四圍幾三千餘里,千三百餘寨,古州踞其中,群寨環其外。左有清江可北達楚,右有都江可南通粵,蟠據梗隔,遂成化外。如欲開江路通黔、粵,非勒兵深入遍加剿撫不可。此貴州宜治之邊夷也。臣思前明流、土之分,原因煙瘴新疆,未習風土,故因地制宜,使之嚮導彈壓。今歷數百載,以夷治夷,即以盜治盜,苗、倮無追贓抵命之憂,土司無革職削地之罰。直至事上聞,行賄詳結,上司亦不深求,以為鎮靜,邊民無所控訴。若不剷蔓塞源,縱兵刑財賦事事整理,皆非治本。改流之法:計擒為上,兵剿次之;令其自首為上,勒獻次之。惟剿夷必練兵,練兵必選將。誠能賞罰嚴明,將士用命,先治內,後攘外,實邊防百世之利。」疏入,上深然之。

會石禮哈疏報遣兵擊破谷隆、長寨、者貢、羊城屯熷土諸隘,擒其渠阿革、阿給及諸苗之從為亂者,上命交鄂爾泰按讞。五月,鄂爾泰遣兵三道入:一自谷隆,一自焦山,一自馬落孔。破三十六寨,降二十一寨,撫苗民五百餘戶、二千餘口,察出荒熟田地三萬畝。又以鎮遠土知府刁澣、霑益土知州安於藩素凶詐,計擒之;者樂甸土司刁聯斗乞免死,改土歸流。鄂爾泰疏報仲家苗悉定。上嘉其成功速,令議敘。旋條上經理仲苗諸事,報可。十月,真除雲貴總督。

四川烏蒙土司祿萬鍾為亂,侵東川。鄂爾泰請以東川改隸雲南,上從之。仍命會四川總督岳鍾琪按治,招其渠祿鼎坤出降。鄂爾泰令鼎坤招萬鍾,數往不就撫,乃檄總兵劉起元率師討之,破其所居寨。萬鍾走匿鎮雄土司隴慶侯所。五年,萬鍾詣鍾琪降,慶侯亦詣鍾琪請改土歸流。上命鍾琪以萬鍾、慶侯交鄂爾泰按讞。敘功,授世職拜他喇布勒哈番。三月,鎮沅倮刁如珍等戕官焚掠,遣兵討平之,獲如珍。泗城土知府岑映宸縱其眾出掠,又發兵屯者相,立七營。鄂爾泰疏劾,令諸道兵候檄進討,映宸乞免死存祀,改土歸流。鄂爾泰請映宸送浙江原籍,留其弟映翰奉祀。七月,發兵與湖北師會討定謬沖花苗,獲其渠,降其餘眾。威遠倮札鐵匠等、新平倮李百疊等應如珍為亂。九月,鄂爾泰檄臨元總兵孫宏本率師討之,獲札鐵匠,降李百叠。威遠、新平皆定。十一月,招降長寨後路苗百八十四寨,編戶口,定額賦。得旨嘉獎,進世職一等阿達哈哈番。十二月,攻破雲南倮窩泥種,取六茶山地千餘里,劃界建城,置官吏。

雲南南徼地與安南接,前總督高其倬疏言安南國界應屬內地者百二十里,請以賭咒河為界。安南國王黎維祹奏辯,上命鄂爾泰清察。鄂爾泰請與地八十里,於鉛廠山下小河內四十里立界,上從之,敕諭安南。六年,維祹表謝,上嘉其知禮,命復與四十里。旋討擒東川法戞土目祿天佑、則補土目祿世豪;按治米貼土目祿永孝,論斬。永孝妻陸氏結倮儸為亂,檄總兵張耀祖討之,攻克門坎山。師入,獲陸氏。米貼平。廣西八達寨儂顏光色等為亂,提督田畯不能討。鄂爾泰遣兵往,儂殺光色以降。上命鄂爾泰總督雲、貴、廣西三省,發帑十萬犒師。旋又撫貴州拜克猛、長寨、古羊等生苗百四十五寨。十月,萬壽節,雲南卿雲見,鄂爾泰疏聞。

七年正月,命超授三等阿思哈尼哈番,雲、貴兩省巡撫、提督、總兵,文知縣、武千總以上,皆加級。三月,令按察使張廣泗率師攻貴州丹江雞溝生苗,破其寨,種人悉降。上下九股、清水江、古州諸地以次定。下部議敘,鄂爾泰疏辭,而乞予曾祖圖捫封典,俾昭忠祠位得改書贈官,列大臣之末,上允其請,仍命議敘。七月,招安順、高耀等寨生苗及儂、仲諸種人內附。十月,雲南趙州醴泉出,鄂爾泰疏聞。上褒鄂爾泰化民成俗,格天致瑞,尋加少保。八年五月,招黎平、都勻等寨生苗內附。鄂爾泰既討定群苗為亂者,諸土司懾軍威納土,疆理其地,置郡縣,設營汛,重定三省及四川界域,而諸土司世守其地,一旦歸版籍,其渠誅夷、遷徙皆無倖。

屬苗內憤奰,烏蒙倮最狡悍,總兵劉起元移鎮其地,恣為貪虐。六月,祿鼎坤及其族人鼎新、萬福遂糾眾攻城,劫殺起元及游擊江仁、知縣賽枝大等,盡戕其孥。鄂爾泰疏聞,請罷斥,上慰諭之。烏蒙既陷,江外涼山、下方、阿驢,江內巧家營、者家海諸寨及東川祿氏諸土目皆起而應之,又令則補、以址諸寨要截江路,以則、以擢諸寨窺伺城邑,東川境內穵泥、矣氏、歹補、阿汪諸寨,東川境外急羅箐、施魯、古牛、畢古諸寨,及武定、尋甸、威寧、鎮雄所屬諸夷,遠近響應,殺塘兵,劫糧運,堵要隘,毀橋樑,所在屯聚為亂。鄂爾泰集官兵萬數千人,土兵半之,分三路進攻:令總兵魏翥國攻東川;哈元生攻威寧,副將徐成貞副之;參將韓勳攻鎮雄。翥國師行,土目祿鼎明遣行刺,被創,以總兵官祿代將。師進,焚苗寨十三。遣游擊何元攻急羅箐,殺三百餘,降一百三十餘。游擊紀龍攻者家海,破寨,盡殲其眾。勳與苗兵遇於莫都,戰一晝夜,破寨四,殺數百人。進攻奎鄉,戰三日,殺二千餘。元生、成貞自威寧攻烏蒙,射殺其渠黑寡、暮末,連破寨八十餘,擊敗其眾數萬,遂克烏蒙。鄂爾泰檄提督張耀祖督諸軍分道窮搜屠殺,刳腸截脰,分懸崖樹間,群苗讋慄。上獎鄂爾泰及諸將,以元生、成貞、勳為功首,發帑犒師。隴慶侯庶母二祿氏、四川沙馬土婦沙氏以不從亂,給誥命,賚銀幣。於是苗疆復定。鄂爾泰令於雲、貴界上築橋,命曰庚戌橋,以年紀其績也。

是歲,永昌邊外孟連土司請歲納廠課六百,鶴慶邊外�岙怒子請歲貢土物,鄂爾泰疏聞。上以邊外野夷向化,命減孟連廠課之半。�岙怒子入貢,犒以鹽三百斤。九年,疏請重定烏蒙、鎮遠、東川、威寧營汛。別疏請興雲南水利,濬嵩明州楊林海,開墾周圍草塘,疏宜良、尋甸諸水,耕東川城北漫海,築浪穹羽河諸隄,修臨安諸處工,暨通粵河道,皆下部議行。十年,召拜保和殿大學士,兼兵部尚書,辦理軍機事務。敘定苗疆功,部議進世職一等精奇尼哈番,上特命授一等伯爵,世襲。

師討準噶爾,六月,命鄂爾泰督巡陝、甘,經略軍務。九月,師破敵額爾德尼昭,鄂爾泰檄大將軍張廣泗遣兵截袞塔馬哈戈壁,斷敵北遁道。尋疏請屯田。十一年六月,還京師。入對,言準部未可驟滅,用兵久,敝中國,無益,上頗然之。

十三年,台拱苗復叛。上命設辦理苗疆事務處,以果親王、寶親王、和親王、鄂爾泰及大學士張廷玉等董其事。苗患日熾,焚掠黃平、施秉諸地。鄂爾泰以從前布置未協,引咎請罷斥,並削去伯爵。上曰:「國家錫命之恩,有功則受,無功則辭,古今通義。」允其請,予休沐,仍食俸。尋命留三等阿思哈尼哈番。

八月,世宗疾大漸,鄂爾泰仍以大學士與莊親王允祿,果親王允禮,大學士張廷玉,內大臣豐盛額、訥親、海望同被顧命。鄂爾泰與廷玉捧御筆密詔,命高宗為皇太子。俄,皇太子傳旨命鄂爾泰等輔政。世宗崩,宣遺詔以鄂爾泰志秉忠貞,才優經濟,命他日配享太廟。高宗即位,命總理事務,進一等精奇尼哈番。乾隆二年十一月,辭總理事務,授軍機大臣;又辭兼管兵部,上不許,加拜他喇布勒哈番,合為三等伯,賜號襄勤。迭主會試,充領侍衛內大臣、議政大臣、經筵講官。
