Life

Yoto was born on 26 February 1599 as Daišan's eldest son. His mother was primary consort, lady Ligiya. He was raised by his grandfather since young and became a member of Bordered Red Banner at the age of 7. In 1621, he and Degelei stopped an attack of Ming forces led by Li Bingcheng, causing their return to Baitapu.Later on, an ambassador of Khalkha Jarud tribes was killed during his way to Yehe valley. In 1626, he was awarded a title of third-ranking prince (beile) for conquering Khakha together with Abatai and Degelei. In 1627,he participated in Later Jin invasion of Joseon together with Amin and Jirgalang. He was responsible for signature of separatistic peace treaty with king of Joseon, which resulted in pillaging of Pyongyang by Amin. In 1631, when Six Ministries were established by Hong Taiji, Yoto was tasked with overseeing the Ministry of War. Yoto was the main architect behind the mobilisation of Han Chinese people to Eight Banners by requesting Hong Taiji to properly take care of Han people. Yoto fell ill after the invasion of Shanxi. However, he consolidated Qing power over Tumed and Khalkha after ambushing Boshoktu han's forces and signing a peace treaty with indigenous leaders. In 1636, Yoto was granted a title of Prince Cheng of the First Rank (成亲王， 'cheng' meaning 'accomplished, perfect'). Yoto was demoted to the third-ranking prince shortly after being sentenced by the council of princes to death. Nonetheless, Hong Taiji didn't revoke a decree appointing Yoto as the Minister of War and delayed his execution. The demotion of Yoto affected his relationship with Daišan. In 1637, Yoto was demoted to the Prince of the Fourth Rank for absence at the court session. He was restored as beile in the next year. In 1639, when Dorgon led conquest of Shenjing, Hong Taiji asked about Yoto. On 11 February 1639, Yoto died in Jinan.

生平

最初被授台吉的職位。天命六年（1621年），帶兵侵略奉集堡，得知明軍所在，岳託偕台吉德格類擊敗明軍。努爾哈赤克瀋陽，明總兵李秉誠引退至白塔舖。岳託後至，驅逐至北面四十里，殲明兵三千餘人。喀爾喀扎魯特貝勒昂安執後金使者送至葉赫，被殺。天命八年（1623年），岳託同台吉阿巴泰征討，斬昂安及其子。天命十一年（1626年），再跟隨代善討伐扎魯特，斬其部長鄂爾齋圖，被封為貝勒。

天聰元年（1627年），跟從貝勒阿敏、濟爾哈朗等伐朝鮮，攻克義州、定州、漢山三城。渡嘉山江，攻克安州，及至平壤，其守將棄城遁走。再進軍到達中和，傳諭朝鮮國王李倧投降。阿敏意欲直攻王京，岳託密與濟爾哈朗協議駐軍平山，再派使者傳諭李倧。李倧歲貢方物，岳託謀與朝鮮結盟後，告知阿敏。阿敏以未有與盟，縱兵掠奪。岳託勸不服阿敏。便再令李倧弟與盟後班師。

及後跟從皇太極伐明，又跟隨圍寧遠，皆有功、再敗明兵於牛莊。天聰二年（1628年），侵略明邊境，隳錦州、杏山、高橋三城。自十三站以東，毀堠二十一，殺守者三十人。天聰三年（1629年），侵略明錦州、寧遠，焚毀城中積聚。皇太極伐明，岳託與濟爾哈朗率右翼兵夜攻大安口，毀水門而入，擊敗馬蘭營援兵於城下。再三擊敗明軍及援軍，五戰皆捷。抵達明都，復跟從其父代善擊敗援兵。偕其弟貝勒薩哈璘圍永平，攻克香河。天聰四年，還守瀋陽。

天聰五年（1631年）初設六部，皇太極命岳託掌兵部事。皇太極攻大凌河，趨至廣寧，岳託偕貝勒阿濟格率兵二萬別自義州進兵，與皇師會合。固山額真葉臣圍城西南，岳託領軍呼應。祖大壽請降，以子祖可法為人質。岳託善諭祖可法，遣他歸城。三日後，祖大壽乃出降。皇太極議取錦州，命岳託偕諸貝勒統兵四千，更易漢服，偕祖大壽扮作潰敗奔狀，夜襲錦州。適逢大霧才停止。

天聰六年（1632年）正月，岳託奏請皇太極妥善撫恤漢民而使人心歸附、增強軍力，為皇太極所納。

後來偕濟爾哈朗等略察哈爾部，至歸化城，俘虜以千計。又偕貝勒德格類行軍略地，自耀州至蓋州南。天聰七年（1633年），又偕德格類等攻擊旅順口，留兵駐守。天聰八年，皇太極閱兵瀋陽，岳託率滿洲、蒙古十一旗兵，列陣二十里許，軍容整肅，獲皇太極嘉勉。從皇太極征察哈爾，因有疾而先還。天聰九年（1635年），侵略明山西，岳託復以病留歸化城。土默特部來告，博碩克圖汗子俄木布遣人偕阿嚕喀爾喀及明使者至，將謀我。岳託伏兵邀博碩克圖汗，擒明使者，令土默特捕斬阿嚕喀爾喀匿馬駝者。部分土默特壯丁，立隊伍，授條約。

崇德元年（1636年）四月，被封為成親王。八月，因徇私庇護莽古爾泰、碩託，及離間濟爾哈朗、豪格，論罪當死，然而皇太極寬免，降為貝勒，罷兵部一職。未幾，覆命攝兵部事。崇德二年八月，上命兩翼較射，岳託言不能執弓，皇太極勉之再三，始引弓，弓墮地者五次，乃擲去。諸王論岳託驕慢，當處死，皇太極再寬免，降為貝子，罰銀五千。

逝世

崇德三年（1638年），復為貝勒。從皇太極征喀爾喀，至博碩堆，知札薩克圖汗已出走，乃引軍還。同年八月，伐明，授岳託揚武大將軍，貝勒杜度為副帥，統右翼軍；統左翼者為睿親王多爾袞。至牆子嶺，明兵入堡，外為三寨，清大軍攻克三寨。堡堅固不易攻拔，得到俘卒的消息嶺東西有間道，分兵攻其前，綴明師，秘密從間道逾越嶺而進入，克台十有一。大軍深入，軍至山東到達濟南時，岳託薨於軍中。崇德四年（1639年），多爾袞奏捷，無岳託名。皇太極驚問，始聞其喪，大為慟動，廢輟膳食，命令不得使禮親王知此。岳託喪還，皇太極至沙嶺遙奠；回宮後輟朝三日。下詔封岳託為克勤郡王，賜駱駝五匹、馬兩匹、銀萬兩。
