Muren

Muren was a Hūrga Jurchen community on the Muling River, called Muren Bira in Manchu, with Jixi as its chief seat. The river flows north to the Ussuri near Hulin.

In 1411 the Ming envoy Yishiha established the Nurgan commission, whose authority covered the Muling. The Ming established the Mulu River Guard under it. Local chiefs held guard titles as hereditary tributaries until the Jianzhou campaigns of 1596 to 1625 brought the Ussuri tribes under Nurhaci's rising state.
