Ulantai, year of birth unknown, died in 1852. It is affiliated with the Manchurian Zhenghong Banner. Sojia. The word is far away. Initially, he was promoted from the Firearms Battalion Protector to the Blue Plume Commander, and then the Jijun Gong was successively promoted to the Rank of Commander of the Escort Army, the Battalion Commander, and the Wing Commander. In the 27th year of Daoguang (1847), he was promoted to the vice capital of Guangzhou.
In the autumn of the thirtieth year of Daoguang (1850), the Jintian Rebellion broke out. In the spring of the first year of Xianfeng (1851), he was ordered to serve as the deputy capital of Guangzhou to assist in the military affairs of Guangxi, and led 500 soldiers under his command from Guangdong to Guizhou.
In May of the same year, he successively led his army to fight fiercely with the Taiping Army in Wuxuan and Xiangzhou, Guangxi, with victories and defeats. In June, he led his troops to fight with the Taiping Army in the area of DuaoShan, Ma'anshan and Liangshan Village in Xiangzhou, where they were defeated by the Taiping Army. Subsequently, he packed up the defeated army and joined forces with the Guangxi Admiral Xiang Rong to intercept the Taiping Army in the area of Wuxuan Dongxiang, and won the victory, and then attacked Guiping in separate ways. Ulan Taituo led the Southern Route Army to break the Taiping Army in Xinwei and Mocun.
In early September, Ulantai led his army to repel the Taiping Army brigade that launched a counterattack by Xinxu and Mocun, and won again, and jigong was promoted to the rank of (正) (正) (from the rank of military officer of Yipin). He then led an army to besiege Yong'an (永安, in modern Mengshan, Guangxi) from the south road, destroying the Taiping Army camp in Shuidou (present-day Shuixiu Village) and the grain hoard next to the village.
In early April 1852, the Taiping Army broke through from Yong'an on a rainy night, and the combined troops of the capital Ulantai, The Governor of Guangxi, Xiang Rong, and the Taoist Zhang Jingxiu pursued them to a place called Pingchong in the east of Yong'an City, where they were ambushed by the Taiping Army, and suffered a major defeat and loss, and Ulantaima lost his front hoof, fell into a deep stream and was injured, and was rescued by his relatives and fled.
The successful breakthrough of Yong'an enabled the Taiping Army to get rid of the passive situation of being surrounded and blocked by the Qing army, and instead launched an active attack on the Qing army.
According to the deployment before the breakthrough, after the Taiping Army withdrew from Yong'an, the next combat objective was to attack Guilin, the then guangxi provincial capital at that time. The Viceroy of Guangxi took the road north after the yong'an of the Zhi Taiping army collapsed, and immediately led his army to Guilin day and night to deploy. The governor of Guangzhou, Ulantai, also immediately led his troops north, and soon arrived, and the Qing army reinforcing Guilin suddenly increased to more than 20,000 people.
Ulantai led his troops to pursue the Taiping Army from the southwest of Guangxi and pursued them all the way north to Guilin. On April 19, when Ulantai was driving to the General Bridge outside the South Gate of Guilin, he was ambushed by the Taiping Army, and Ulantai was wounded in the leg by a cannon, and after retreating to Yangshuo, he was seriously wounded and died.
