Jinzhier

Jinzhier was a Merkid Mongol officer of the early Yuan dynasty, from a family that for three generations supplied officers of the imperial kesig guard. His father, a centurion, was killed campaigning with Möngke Khan against the Southern Song in Sichuan, and Jinzhier himself commanded the imperial guard in the Longfu palace of Empress Dowager Kökejin, widow of Crown Prince Zhenjin.

He was the father of Bayan (1280–1340), grand councillor at Toghon Temür's court, and of Majartai (1285–1347), father of the minister-historian Toqto'a. Jinzhier was posthumously enfeoffed as Prince of Zheng and given the posthumous name Zhongyi.
