Shilin

The Shilin are the Donghai Jurchen group of the settlement called Tulazi, which stood on Amur Bay facing the Suifen estuary. In the first month of 1617 Nurhaci sent the officer Muhalian with a thousand men to subdue the Donghai Hurha tribes, and Tulazi passed with the rest of the coast under Later Jin rule, completing the unification of the Donghai Jurchens.
