Abatai, ( General. An inconsistent and dissolute malcontent, he nevertheless showed considerable ability as a commander and administrator.

Born on July 27 1589, he was the seventh son of Nurhachi. He led Manchu forces against the tribes of Weji in 1611 and Jarut in 1623. He was disciplined for abandoning his colleagues during a raid into China in 1629 and was also held responsible for the loss of Yungp'ing and other cities from 1629-1630.

He was appointed to the Manchu Board of Works in 1631; earned reprimand for military incompetence at the siege of Darien (Dalian) in 1633; reformed his conduct, and with General Ajige, he reputedly fought and won fifty-six engagements, and was handsomely rewarded for his achievements in 1636.

He was deprived of rank for unauthorized withdrawal from the siege of Chinchou (Jinzhou) in 1641. He then led a raiding force into North China, advancing into Chihli (Hubei), Shangtung (Shandong), and Kiangsu (Jiangsu) from 1642-1643.

He was made a Prince of the Second Degree in 1644, and given command of troops in Shangtung in 1645. He died on May 10 1646, and posthumously made a Prince of the First Degree in 1662.
