In his early years, Tuhai was gifted and loyal, and his temperament was dignified. The first pen-paste plus the rank of foreign officer.

In April of the second year of Shunzhi (1645), he was reappointed as a waiter in the National History Museum, and in May, he also served as a compiler of the Ming Dynasty. This year, five people were promoted to the National History Museum at the same time as Tu Hai, and nine people were promoted to be the Ming history compiler.

In February of the eighth year of Shunzhi (1651), Tuhai followed Emperor Shunzhi to Nanyuan with the history book on his back. Everyone pleaded for him on the grounds that Tuhai was innocent, and Emperor Shunzhi said: "Otherwise, let him be the minister immediately, so that his wish can be satisfied." Therefore, he was immediately conferred the Bachelor of the Faculty of Internal Secretaries.

In the tenth year of Shunzhi (1653), Tuhai was promoted to a scholar of Hongwen Academy, listed as a minister of government, and participated in the maintenance of the aircraft.

In February of the twelfth year of Shunzhi (1655), because of his diligence, he was added to the crown prince. In May, he was also in charge of the criminal department. The next year, the exam was completed, and a young insurance was added, and Meng Yizi was injailed to study. It can be said that it was precisely because of Emperor Shunzhi's appreciation and promotion that Tu Hai quickly became the minister of the court. Later, Emperor Shunzhi also said: "Tuhai was originally a white body, and I was exceptionally promoted, and I was appointed with a product." ”

During the management of the Criminal Department, Tuhai did not live up to the expectations of Emperor Shunzhi and made some beneficial reforms, which were affirmed by the people of the time. According to historical records, he and Yao Wenran made the same law, deleted the cool law of the Ming Dynasty, and allowed the removal of the long jia and box beds of death row prisoners to avoid abuse by the jailers. He also destroyed the torture instruments used by the Ming Dynasty Zhenfu Division, such as Lu Gongqi and red embroidered shoes, so as to prevent future generations from following suit. These practices made "the time of praise and virtue".

But Tuhai's career was not all smooth sailing, and Emperor Shunzhi's favor for him was decreasing day by day.

In July of the thirteenth year of Shunzhi (1656), Tuhai managed the Criminal Department for just over a year, and was sent by Shunzhi Emperor Ge to worship him Rabul Hafan and Prince Taibao, and was demoted by three levels.

In the fifteenth year of Shunzhi (1658), due to the cheating case in Jiangnan Township, the Criminal Department "took refuge late for many years" and "asked very lightly", Tuhai was implicated and was dismissed from Shaobao, Prince Taibao and his superiors. In December, he was instructed to revise the "Great Qing Law" with the scholars Bahana, Jin Zhijun, Wei Zhouzuo, and Li Fei.

In the leap March of the sixteenth year of Shunzhi (1659), Tuhai was hit seriously again. The cause was a fight between the guard Arana and the Gong Erke Dai Qing slave in the city, and the criminal department sentenced Arana to 100 lashes and redemption during the trial. But eighteen days later, Emperor Shunzhi issued an order to strictly deal with Tuhai, Tuhai was dismissed, and his family property was confiscated. This punishment is of course a very fatal blow to Tuhai, losing his official position and losing his family, and almost losing his life.

It was Emperor Shunzhi who did not forget about it. In October of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, when he was dying, he left his last words: "The original capital is Tuhai, and the love and crime are not compromised, and it is too late to change." In case of Manchuria, there is a shortage of supplements. Drawing the sea to supplement the capital. It can be known that Emperor Shunzhi reflected on this matter and admitted that Tuhai was wronged, so he left his last words and waited for the new emperor to make up for him in the future. It is precisely because of this sentence of Emperor Shunzhi that after Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne, he immediately granted Tuhaizheng the Yellow Banner Manchuria unification post.

In the 20 years since the Qing troops entered the customs, almost all the anti-Qing struggle forces in the Nanming regime, the Daxi and Dashun peasant armies, and the anti-Qing struggle forces in various localities and strata have been suppressed. At this time, only the remnants of the Dashun Peasant Army, under the leadership of Hao Shaoqi, Liu Tichun, Li Laiheng, and others, insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty in the area of Shenyang Jingxiang at the junction of Huguang, Sichuan, and Shaanxi provinces. In order to unify the whole country and rule steadily, the Qing Dynasty decided to eliminate this anti-Qing stronghold.

In September of the first year of Kangxi (1662), he ordered 30,000 officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion to be dispatched from each of the three provinces, plus the Eight Banners of Xi'an Garrison, to carry out the suppression. In the face of more than 100,000 enemies, Hao Shaoqi and others organized a peasant army to jointly counterattack. In late July of the following year, near Yiling (present-day Yichang, Hubei), the governor of Huguang, Dong Xueli, was severely damaged. Then, with 70,000 troops, he attacked the troops of Li Guoying, the governor of Huguang and Sichuan, who were stationed in Wushan County, Sichuan, and the Qing army was not in a good situation. In August, the Qing court decided to strengthen its forces again, appointing Tuhai as the general of Dingxi as the deputy of the general of Jingxi, the commander of Mulima, and led the forbidden brigade from Beijing to Jingzhou to conquer and suppress. After Tuhai arrived at the front line, he besieged the company camp with Li Guoying, Admiral Zheng Jiaolin, General Soldier Yu Fenqi, and Yu Dahai. The peasant army took advantage of the unstable foothold of the Qing army to attack Yu Fenqi's camp with more than 3,000 people, and Tu Haide immediately led his troops to meet and defeat him. In the end, due to the disparity in outnumberedness, the various units of the peasant army were besieged in the area of Xingshan County, Huguang, and failed one after another.

At the end of December, the Qing army broke through the camp of the peasant army Chenjiapo, and Liu Tichun hanged himself. Three days later, Huangcaoping, another stronghold of the peasant army, was also captured, and Hao Shaoqi and others were captured and sacrificed. Only Li Laiheng alone resisted at Maolu Mountain, and although the Qing army had 200,000 people, it was impossible to get close. In the end, due to the long-term siege of Tuhai and others, the deprivation of their food routes and solidarity, the situation of the peasant army became more and more dangerous. In the third year of Kangxi (1664), Li Laiheng finally couldn't support it, Li Laiheng ordered the cottage to be burned, and died of self-immolation behind closed doors. In October, Tuhai and Mulima ordered the slaughter of more than 6,000 captured peasant troops, and then took with them more than 3,000 people and more than 8,000 soldiers.

In the sixth year of Kangxi (1667), Tu Hai was promoted to a scholar of Hongwen Academy, and he was given the rank of first-class lieutenant of light car. In September, he served as the president of the compilation and revision of the "Records of the Emperor Shizuzhang".

In December of the seventh year of Kangxi (1668), the Belgian Nan Huairen impeached Wu Mingxuan, the deputy supervisor of Qintian, for calculating the calendar error, and Tuhai was ordered to go to the test with the ministers. Later, in July of the eighth year of Kangxi (1669), June of the ninth year of Kangxi (1670), and June of the eleventh year of Kangxi (1672), he was ordered to try felons with the Criminal Department several times, all of which were praised, not only by Emperor Kangxi at that time, but also decades later, Emperor Kangxi also took Tuhai as an example to let the officials of the Criminal Department learn from him.

In the ninth year of Kangxi (1670), it was changed to a scholar of the Zhonghe Temple and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites. At this time, he was ranked third among the scholars. In the tenth year of Kangxi (1671), he was promoted to second place. In July of the eleventh year of Kangxi (1672), he was added as the crown prince and concubine. Rise to fame and power. Tuhai was able to serve with civil and military talents, and was very effective, and won the trust of the young son of heaven, Emperor Kangxi.

In March of the twelfth year of Kangxi (1673), King Shang Kexi of Pingnan invited him to return to Liaodong due to old age. In July, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, also wrote a letter requesting the withdrawal of the feudal domain, but in fact, he spied on the intentions of the imperial court. When the ministers discussed the court, except for a few people such as Mo Luo, Mi Sihan, and Mingzhu who advocated the withdrawal of the feudal domain, most of them were worried that the withdrawal of the feudal domain would be chaotic, and Tuhai also held opposing views. Emperor Kangxi believed that at that time, the three feudatories all held military power, and they were afraid that they would grow over time and be tamed to the point of unforesee, so he rejected the opinions of Tuhai and others and ordered the withdrawal of the feudal domains. 15 This time, on the question of whether to withdraw the feudal domain, Tuhai sided with the majority of the people and belonged to the more conservative faction seeking stability. In December of that year, Wu Sangui launched a rebellion.

In March of the thirteenth year of Kangxi (1674), Geng Jingzhong rebelled. From then on, the war began, and Emperor Kangxi poured all his troops into the counterinsurgency war. In order to raise military salaries, Emperor Kangxi ordered Tuhai to manage the affairs of the household department and be responsible for supervising the transportation of military salaries. Tuhai had already asked to be relieved of cabinet affairs due to illness, but now that he was needed to counterbalance the rebellion, he did not hesitate to agree. In order to prevent the local government from increasing the burden on the people when collecting military salaries, he deliberately asked for an order that "no private distribution should be allowed for military needs, no pre-detention of husband and wife, and no restraint outside the main items of collecting money and grain", which was approved by Emperor Kangxi, and to a certain extent, the occurrence of arbitrary expropriation and extortion was avoided.

Just as the Qing court was fully preparing to quell the rebellion, the Mongol Chahar king Bulni took the opportunity to raise an army and rebelled, and the military situation was urgent. Emperor Kangxi forbade the southern expedition because of the Beijing division, and the garrison was empty; He was anxious to send his ministers to quell the rebellion, and he was very worried, so he asked the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. Xiaozhuang said: "Tuhai is slightly outstanding and can be qualified for this position. Emperor Kangxi then ordered Tuhai to be the deputy general, and led the army to conquer with the general of Fuyuan, the king of Doluoxin County. At this time, the Beijing division had no troops available, so Tuhai asked for the selection of the brave among the Eight Banners slaves, and tens of thousands of people gathered outside the Desheng Gate on the same day. At dawn the next day, Tuhai packed up to the teaching ground, and after the review, he immediately set off, marched all the way, and was not allowed to stay overnight, passing through Xuanfu and other prefectures, counties, villages, and forts, and let the listeners' slaves loot, so that they received countless gold silks, and arrived in Chahar in a few days.

On April 22, the Qing army reached Dalu. Burni had already set up an ambush in the valley, lined up, and sent 3,000 men straight into battle. Ezha ordered Tuhai and Wu Dan to lead light cavalry to meet the battle, and Hong Shilu led the left wing to search the mountain. When the Tumut soldiers marched across the mountain stream, suddenly an ambush rushed out, and they were in chaos. Tuhai and others divided their troops to fight hard and were defeated. Burni marched in with 400 cavalry, and Tuhai led his troops into battle, and ordered in front of the battle: "The property plundered here before is all from the Shishu's family, and it is not enough to be called a treasure." Now after the Chahar Chengyuan Dynasty, hundreds of years of inheritance, jewelry and treasures are incalculable, if you can obtain them, you can guarantee lifelong wealth. ”

After hearing this, all the slaves rushed forward, and in the battle, they all fought hard to kill the enemy, and soon defeated the enemy. Burnny went out again, the firearms refused, Tuhai was also in full array, successively hit the rebels, defeated, his subordinate capital Jinjin led his clan to surrender in front of the formation, Brni brothers only fled in a hurry with 30 horses, to the territory of Zarut when Guisute, was beheaded by the Mongolian Korqin Ebu Shajin who came to suppress it.

At this point, Chahar was pacified, and the rear of the Qing Dynasty was stabilized. Tuhai also asked for an exemption from the grain tax in Xuanfu and other places in order to show mercy to the border gangsters. In leap May, the Qing army was triumphant, and Emperor Kangxi led the minister of civil and military affairs to Nanyuan Dahongmen to greet him in person, and he gave a suburban labor ceremony. When he returned to the palace to see His Majesty, Kangxi asked Tuhai about the abduction and plunder, and showed him the impeachment note, Tuhai apologized and said: "With the poverty of domestic slaves, to resist powerful enemies, if you don't use wealth to lure and strengthen their courage, how can you let them serve to death?" ”

Kangxi was very happy when he heard it, and said, "I also know that you must have done what you have done today." [1] In terms of meritorious deeds, Tu Hai was promoted to a baron of the first rank. This time in the pacification of Chahar, Tuhai made a great contribution, he defeated the strong Mongol cavalry with a makeshift and untrained rabble, and used the extraordinary means of plundering the soldiers to motivate the soldiers, which of course violated the principle of "military discipline", but in the emergency situation at that time, it was also a last resort. Therefore, later generations have given understanding and affirmation to this practice of Tuhai. Tu Hai showed his military talent with a surprise victory when he first led his troops.

Chahar had just been pacified, and Wang Fuchen, the governor of Shaanxi, rebelled against Wu Sangui according to Pingliang City. Emperor Kangxi sent General Dingxi and Beile Dong E to lead troops to attack, but they did not go down for a long time. In February of the fifteenth year of Kangxi (1676), Emperor Kangxi ordered Tuhai to be the general of Fuyuan and led his troops to Shaanxi. In March, Tuhai arrived in Pingliang, "clear rewards and punishments, Shen constraints, military power shock, thieves are afraid". The generals asked to take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and Tuhai said: "The army of benevolence and righteousness, surrender first and then attack." I rely on the emperor's heavenly power to crusade against these murderous traitors, and I don't have to worry about being unable to conquer them.

Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of living beings in the city, none of them are not children of the imperial court, and now they have been plundered by traitors to such a point, and under the nest, there must be a lot of killings. Isn't it more beautifying to wait for them to take the initiative to surrender and return to sincerity, and to embody the virtue of the Holy Lord's good life? When the soldiers and civilians in the city heard about it, they wept with emotion, and many of them went out of the city on their own, so the people's hearts were shaken, and the situation of the rebels was declining. Before the war, Tu Hai first used the technique of influencing people's hearts, and the effect was very obvious.

In order to lay down Pingliang, Tuhai and Sun Sike, the chief military officer, inspected Hushan Dun. Hushandun is located in the north of Pingliang City, dozens of feet high, is the road to the northwest. After looking at it, Tuhai said: "This place is a cool throat, and if you get this way, then this city can be taken without attacking." "During the inspection, more than 10,000 soldiers of Wang Fuchen suddenly came to meet the battle, and firearms were lined up one after another. Tuhai immediately commanded the army to fight back, from the beginning to noon, the more brave the more the battle, the rebels were killed and fell off the cliff and died countless people, the Qing army then captured the tiger mountain pier, and the whole city of Pingliang was under the overlook. Then, Tuhai ordered the artillery bombardment of Wang Fuchen's military camp in the city, and the army and civilians were terrified.

On the first day of June, the Tuhai Navy cut off the Liangyu Road according to the Hushan Dun, and sent the Senator Zhou Chang into the city to appease Wang Fuchen. Zhou Chang is Zhou Peigong, the sembracles of Jingmen, and makes good use of tricks. Because of his meritorious service to assist Zhenwu General Wu Dan, he was hired as a seven-rank official. When Tu Haijun arrived at Tongguan, Zhou Chang asked to see him and offered to appease Wang Fuchen, and Tu Hai accepted him as a staff member. Huang Jiuchou, the chief military officer of Wang Fuchen, and Gong Rongyu, the political envoy of the Bu Dynasty, were both fellow villagers of Zhou Chang, and they repeatedly persuaded Wang Fuchen to surrender and reported to Zhou Chang with wax pills. Zhou Chang then reported the matter to Tuhai, who decided to recruit Wang Fuchen.

Wang Fuchen was desperate at this time, so he had to send his deputy general Xie Tianen to go out of the city with Zhou Chang to beg for surrender. Tuhai immediately played Kangxi, and Kangxi ordered an amnesty to be issued to comfort him. On the sixth day of the first month, Tu Haifu ordered Zhou Chang to enter the city to announce the edict. The next day, Wang Fuchen sent Gong Rongyu, a political envoy, to lead the soldiers and people to the Qing army camp and present the military and civilian books. He also sent his son Wang Jizhen and the general soldier Cai Yuan to hand over the edict and seal issued by Wu Sangui. Seeing that Wang Fuchen did not surrender in person, Tu Hai knew that he was still suspicious and afraid, so he sent Zhou Chang and the forward guard Baoding Tuhai's nephew to enter the city again on the 13th, and warmly enlightened.

On the 15th, Wang Fuchen finally made up his mind to go to the Tuhai camp in person, kowtow to thank him, shave his hair and surrender. Tu Hai then ordered all battalions to reorganize their ranks, and only ordered Wu Dan, the deputy commander, to lead a few horsemen into the city to pacify, and Qiu did not commit any crimes. Pingliang City was besieged for a long time, and the people were tragically devastated by the war, and more than half of them died. Tuhai ordered the magistrate to provide relief to the poor, bury the bones, and settle in exile. So, near and far, the rebels came and went. After the war, the army discussed merit, Tuhai reported to the military department with the merit cards of the soldiers, and all the demerit cards were burned, so he won the hearts of the army.

The recovery of Pingliang City promoted the improvement of the situation in the northwest. In June, Tuhai sent Zhenwu generals Funile, Admiral Daniel Zhang, Wang Jinbao and others to pursue Wu Zhimao, who had fled from Qinzhou, defeated him at Peony Garden, and defeated him again in Beishan, Xihe County, and won countless losses, and Wu Zhimao escaped with only more than ten horses. 31Tuhai also sent the general Mu Zhan to attack Lemen, defeated the fleeing Wangping clan at Hongya, and recovered Lixian. As a result, on the rebel side, Chen Peng, the governor of Guyuan, Zhou Yangming, the general of Qingyang, Wang Haowen of Jiayuguan, and Kong Yinxiong, the deputy general of Guanshan, led more than 900 civil and military officials and more than 48,200 soldiers to surrender one after another. The Guanlong area was then pacified. The victory in the northwest battlefield turned the situation in the whole country from dangerous to safe. Tuhai was properly disposed of and won the praise of Emperor Kangxi.

At that time, Hanzhong and Xing'an were still in the hands of the rebels, and Pingliang and Qingyang were initially decided, and the people's hearts were also unstable, so Tuhai Song asked to divide troops to defend each pass, and sent another army to join the divisions to conquer the Huguang rebels.

In March and April of the sixteenth year of Kangxi (1677), Tuhai appeased the rebels of Hancheng, defeated the rebels in Wupanshan, Qiaojiashan, Tangfang Temple, Bajiaoyuan and other places, and recovered Tash Fort.

In March of the seventeenth year of Kangxi (1678), Wu Sangui proclaimed himself emperor in Hengyang after repeated setbacks, and died in the autumn of that year, and his last dying struggle failed to turn the situation around. However, the Qing soldiers seized the opportunity to launch a large-scale counteroffensive in Hunan, and the rebels were devastated from then on.

Zhenwu general Fenille and deputy capital commander Wu Dan defeated the rebels at Niutoushan and Xiangquan, and Sichuan governor Zhou Youde, deputy capital Tongjue and Tuo, defeated the rebels at Qinling and restored the five villages of Tongguanbao.

In February of the eighteenth year of Kangxi (1679), Emperor Kangxi ordered Tuhai to quickly destroy the enemy who invaded Baoji and restore Hanzhong, Xing'an and other places. In September, Tuhai divided his troops into four routes and entered Hanzhong and Xing'an. Tu Hai personally led the general Furnile and others to set off from Xing'an, and the chief military officer Cheng Fuliang was the backup and stationed at the old county pass; General Bi Liketu, Admiral Sun Sike and others set out from Luoyang, and Zhu Yike, the general soldier of Xining, was stationed in Xihe; General Wang Jinbao and others marched from the plank road, and Gao Meng, the general soldier of Yansui, was the backup and stationed in Baoji; Admiral Zhao Liangdong marched from Badu Mountain in Huizhou. In October, the Tu navy went to Zhen'an County, divided into two ways to suppress, marched to the Fire Temple, met the rebel general Wang Yulong and other refusal to fight, the Tu navy defeated it, crossed the Ganyu River, captured the Liang River Pass, and the rebels fled into Sichuan.

In the same month, Wang Jinbao recovered Hanzhong, Zhao Liangdong recovered Huixian and Luoyang, and Biliktu recovered Chengxian and Jiezhou. In November, the Tuhai Navy regained Fu'an, and then recovered Pingli, Ziyang, Shiquan, Xunyang, Baihe, and Zhushan, Zhuxi, Shangjin and other counties in Huguang. At this point, the whole province of Shaanxi had basically returned to the control of the Qing court. The good news was successively reported to the imperial court, and the decree was rewarded, and the lower part was discussed. Soon, he ordered Tuhai to lead half of the army to garrison Fengxiang to defend the whole province of Shaanxi. The other half is supervised by U Thant and other commanders. In December, Tuhai was approved, and 1,000 people were allocated among the existing half soldiers, and the deputy commander of the department, Ekejiha, was ordered to garrison the important place of Hanzhong.

The recovery of Hanzhong and Xing'an created favorable conditions for the Qing court to recover Sichuan. In the first month of the nineteenth year of Kangxi (1680), Emperor Kangxi sent an edict to the ministers of parliament and said: "To enter Sichuan, the Manchurian army should be the most important policy." So he ordered Tuhai Shuai to go to Hanzhong to receive the food and salary of the troops who entered Shu. In September, in order to eliminate Tan Hong, who had rebelled, the Qing court ordered the governor Ha Zhan to attack from Baoning, and Tuhai was ordered to send Manchu and Han soldiers in the army to support him in order to divide the enemy's strength. In the same month, according to the revelation, Tuhai cracked Yang Qilong, a key culprit in the "Third Prince Zhu Case" wanted by the Qing court for eight years, in the Sanhekou area of Hanzhong.

In the first month of the twentieth year of Kangxi (1681), Tuhai learned that the rebels had invaded Xuzhou, Sichuan, and asked him to lead his troops to help. Tuhai, who has been fighting abroad for many years, has become ill from hard work. Emperor Kangxi was deeply concerned about him, and in July he sent an edict to the Ministry of War: "The great general Tuhai is old and sick, and now Sichuan and Yunnan are gradually pacified, so he can return to Beijing with the general's seal." "In October, Tuhai returned to the court, and Emperor Kangxi summoned Yu Qianqingmen and Jialaozhi. On the tenth day of December, Tuhai begged for rest due to illness, and Emperor Kangxi comforted him. On December 19, Tuhai died of illness. Emperor Kangxi ordered the ministers and guards to sacrifice tea and wine, and gave three thousand taels of silver and python satin saddle horses.

In February of the twenty-first year of Kangxi (1682), he was given a funeral, and two sacrifices were added. In June, he was made a third-class duke with his son Nuomin. In November, with the completion of the "Records of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty", Tu Hai was the chief official of supervision, especially for the retrospective and additional gift of Shaobao is still the crown prince.

In May of the twenty-second year of Kangxi (1683), a special imperial inscription praised Tuhai's lifelong achievements.

In September of the twenty-eighth year of Kangxi (1689), Tuhai's wife died, and the special officer went to lay tea and wine.

In the second year of Yongzheng (1724), Tuhai was posthumously presented as a first-class loyal to the Gong, worthy of enjoying the Taimiao, looking for his life to build an ancestral hall and erecting a monument, and offering sacrifices in the spring and autumn.
