The first seat is Wu Ruyin, the sixth generation of Gongshun Hou. This family is a surrendered Mongolian.
The ancestor Wu Yuncheng was a Tatar official, a Mongolian Tatar, and his original name was Tamerlane.
Wu Yuncheng's family is a large family in Hexi. They have lived in Tapan (located to the west of today's Yinshan Mountain) for generations and are the local leaders.
He first served as an official in the Yuan Dynasty, but returned to the Ming Dynasty in the 23rd year of Hongwu. He was arranged by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to live in a place with convenient water and grass in Liangzhou.
Later, in July of the third year of Yongle, he led his troops to join the Ming Dynasty from Tapan. Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, gave him the Chinese name Wu Yuncheng.
After his death, his son Wu Kezhong, whose original name was Da Lan, resided in Shuntian Prefecture, Northern Zhili (today's Beijing City). In February of the 16th year of Yongle (1418), he assumed the title of Gongshun Bo. In the first year of Hongxi (1425),
He was promoted to the title of Gongshunhou and received a hereditary title.
In August of the 14th year of Zhengtong (1449), during the Tumubao Incident, Wu Kezhong and his younger brother Wu Keqin both died in battle in the Xuan Mansion. They were posthumously given the posthumous title of Zhongyong to Duke Bian.
Today, the Gongshun Marquis has been passed down for six generations. The Gongshun Marquis at this time is the sixth generation Wu Ruyin, the son of Wu Jijue. He ascended the throne in the twenty-seventh year of Wanli (1599). He died in the fourth year of Chongzhen (1631).

The eighth generation Wu Weiying, the younger brother of Wu Weiye, had no examination of his age. He died in December of the 16th year of Chongzhen (1643). He died on the eve of the fall of the Ming Dynasty. His son did not reach the throne and the Ming Dynasty fell.
Because the Wu family is a local wealthy family, the geographical and ethnic factors in Hexi are very complicated. The court needs the support of local wealthy families to stabilize local rule. The emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties often wooed them. They were married to the royal family for more than 600 years. They are elders.

There were a total of 67 nobles who lived to the end of the Ming Dynasty (excluding those canonized by the Southern Ming Dynasty).
It can be seen from the above that the Wu family in Liangzhou was the leading family of honorable ministers during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and was also a relative of the emperor. This is still very rare among the big families in Liangzhou.
Among this family, the ones that are really recognized by the top circles of nobles are the Gongshun Hou series in Beijing. Gongshun Hou is the general representative of the Wu family group.
The other aristocrats of the Wu family are all local forces in Gansu and Ningxia. They have separate territories in Liangzhou and the grasslands.
Yang Fan also attaches great importance to the Wu family. He has always asked Lin Yueru to collect information about them and pay attention to their movements. Because as long as he wants to develop in the Western Regions, he cannot avoid the Wu family in Liangzhou.

Later, the Tibetan tribes in western Sichuan rebelled. In the long-term wars between Sichuan and Yunnan against Tibet, Kangzang, and Songfan, he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and gradually rose in the ranks.
