范毓皛 Fan Yuxiao

范毓皛，山西介休人。 Fan Yuxiao was a native of Jiexiu in Shanxi.

六十年，再出師，毓皛兄毓馪請以家財轉餉，受運值視官運三之一。 In the sixtieth year, when troops marched out again, Yuxiao's elder brother Yushen offered family wealth to transport provisions and was paid carriage fees at one-third of the official rate.

毓皛以武舉授衛千總，以駝佐軍，擢守備。 Yuxiao entered service as a military licentiate appointed company captain of a guard; he supplied camels to the army and was promoted to garrison commander.

毓皛所議與廣東不甚宜。」 Yuxiao's proposal is not well suited to Guangdong."

上韙鄂彌達等議，仍諭毓皛初至，當嘉其肯言。 The emperor sided with E'ermida but still told Yuxiao that, as a newcomer, his willingness to speak out deserved praise.

毓皛以聞，命加意撫綏。 Yuxiao reported the disaster and was ordered to give special attention to relief and pacification.

毓皛慮民避屢稅，遇風不敢泊，致傾覆，疏請商舟寄泊，非即地市易不徵稅，上命待審察。 Yuxiao feared merchants would avoid repeated duties, refuse to anchor in storms, and capsize; he memorialized that temporary anchorage should be tax-free unless goods were sold on the spot, and the emperor ordered the proposal held for review.

毓皛以憂歸，服終，授直隸正定鎮總兵。 Yuxiao returned home to mourn; after the mourning period he was appointed regional commander of the Zhengding garrison in Zhili.

湖廣總督阿爾賽請移任苗疆，上不允，諭以「毓皛富家子弟，謹慎無過。 Huguang Governor-General A'ersai asked that he be transferred to the Miao frontier; the emperor refused, saying: "Yuxiao is a wealthy man's son—careful and without fault.

上巡五台，毓皛言兄毓馪子清注具羊千、馬十備賞賚，上卻之。 During the emperor's tour of Wutai, Yuxiao reported that his brother Yushen's son Qingzhu had prepared a thousand sheep and ten horses as gifts; the emperor declined them.

毓皛與其兄出私財助軍興，幾傾其家而不悔，求諸往史，所未有也。 Yuxiao and his brother spent private wealth to support the armies, nearly ruining their house without regret—a devotion unmatched in the histories.
