tumu

In summer 1726, O'rtai arrested the native subprefect (tu zhizhou) of Zhanyi and the native prefect of Zhenyuan, confiscated their farms and assets, and exiled them to Jiangnan. 134 Under enormous state pressure, Dao Liandou, commissioner (zhangguan) of Zheledian, "voluntarily" handed over his seal and pleaded for direct administration. 135 At the same time, O'rtai dispatched troops to Dongchuan, thus abolishing native chief (tumu) who had controlled native forces there.
