After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia was divided into many tribes of different sizes, of which the Tatars and the Wallachians were two tribes that we were more familiar with, which did not cause trouble to the borders of the Ming Dynasty.
The Wala tribe was originally a remnant of Genghis Khan's Guards and was known for its good fighting.
Because the steppe peoples did not have a stable political system guarantee, they could not hide from the curse of rising up by one person and losing because of one person, and it was difficult to prosper for a long time; the Walla was no exception, and after creating the short-term glory of the "Change of the Tumu Fort", it gradually embarked on the road of decline and division; after that, the Wara gradually disappeared into the long river of history, but some of their descendants gradually migrated westward, moving west to the lower Volga region around 1628 AD, settling down, having children, herding sheep and horses.
From then on, they were known as the "Turgut" Khanate, the supreme ruler, and the direct subordinate to the Khan was the supreme authority, Zargu; for more than 100 years, they kept in touch with the tribes in the East and the Qing government, and in their hearts, the homeland was the land where their ancestors grew up, their roots.
The Tsarist Russia in the north gradually became stronger, and this people from the north, its national character, the desire for land and the fighting spirit were integrated into its blood, and after it became strong, it began to expand barbarically; Tsarist Russia entered the area controlled by the Turgut tribes and began to use all means against the Turks.
Tsarist Russia overthrew the Great Khan of Turk and gradually took over the ruling power. Directing a large number of nomadic peoples who migrated from Europe to emigrate to the East, occupying the turks' meadows, robbing livestock, and expelling and killing the Turks; forcing the Turks to change to orthodox Christianity, a branch of the Catholic Church; prohibiting the Turks from continuing to believe in the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, in an attempt to sever the inheritance of the Turks in terms of cultural beliefs and make the Turks completely integrate into the cultural circle of Tsarist Russia; forcing the young and middle-aged men of turguts to join the Russian army and participate in the expansion of Tsarist Russia. At the forefront of the depletion of the young adults of the Turks.
After 21 years of bloody war, a large number of prime-age men of the Turgut tribe were killed.
In 1767, the tribal chiefs of the Turk Khanate quietly gathered and held a secret meeting under the organization of the chief King Wolbasi Khan to discuss the survival of the Turk tribe, and no agreement could be reached on the question of the return to the east; in 1770, the Wolbasi Khan held a second meeting to discuss the question of the return to the east.
In the end, everyone unanimously decided: Donggui! Back to the motherland, back to the hometown, back to the land of the ancestors, home!
At first, everyone agreed that the compatriots living on both sides of the Volga River would return to their homeland together. When winter came, the Volga River froze, and the tribes on the left bank packed up their bags and crossed the river to gather and return to their homeland together; but just as Hitler did not expect that winter in Russia would come early in World War II, Wobasi Khan did not expect that this year would be a warm winter! The Volga River has not frozen this year, and the people on the left bank do not have a large number of tools to cross the river, and cannot come to the right bank to join the Great Khan of Wolbasi. It was also at this time that the plan for the return to the East was leaked out, and the Tsarist Russia was about to take military action against the Turgut tribes.
In January of the following year, Wobasi Khan helplessly led the people on the right bank to embark on the road to the east, on the vast grassland, Turbat snaked along the direction of the rising sun, dragging children and daughters, morning glory and sheep; Wobasi Khan personally lit his own wooden palace, personally led more than 10,000 cavalry to break, and embarked on an unknown journey with the determination to break the ship!
After receiving the news, the Tsarist Russia reacted quickly, and quickly organized a Cossack cavalry force to pursue and kill, and a team of the Turk tribe was caught up by the Tsarist cavalry, and more than 9,000 people were killed; then, the lightly armed Russian cavalry took advantage of their speed faster than the slow-moving Turk tribe to preemptively occupy the Auchen Gorge, which was the only way to return to the east, in a vain attempt to annihilate all the Turks in one fell swoop.
At the moment of crisis, the bravery and tenacity of the ancestors flowing in the body of the Turks burst out; under the command of Wolbasi Khan, some of the tribesmen rode camels to face the Tsarist cavalry and launched a surprise attack, attracting the attention of the Tsarist cavalry; the other part of the tribes took advantage of the steppe tribes and detoured back to the rear of the Tsarists and launched an attack; the Battle of the Ochen Gorge, which was desperate for survival, ended with the total victory of the Turk tribes!
After the total annihilation of the Tsarist army, the road home for the Turks was still bumpy, and the long journeys in the cold winter, fighting, cold, hunger and disease took the lives of countless Turks.
The Qing government did not know about this matter in advance, and the Turks could only rely on their own strength and move toward the east step by step; in the 36th year of Qianlong (1771 AD), in April, the Qing government received news from the frontier and learned about the return of the Turks to the east; the Qianlong Emperor Qian Gang, who was very happy and meritorious, was determined to accept the Turbat tribe and properly resettle them.
After a difficult trek, the Turks arrived in Ili, and Tsarist Russia demanded from the Qing government that the Qing government refuse to allow the Turks to enter the country, and issued a threat of war; Qianlong was furious and replied to Tsarist Russia: When you come to me, you are our people, you dare to come in and chase, we will go to war, and fight who is afraid of whom?
According to the qing palace archives, the 170,000 Turguts at the time of departure lost more than half of the 10,000-mile trek for half a year; in May, Wolbasi Khan, who arrived on the banks of the Ili River, was warmly welcomed by officials sent by the Qing Dynasty's General Ili, and soon after arrived in Ili to meet the emissaries sent by Qianlong, and accepted the edict of the Qianlong Emperor, which expressed a warm welcome.
In October, Woba Xi Khan and others went to the summer resort to visit Qianlong, and Qianlong borrowed the completion of the temple of chengde Putuo Sect, made two stone tablets, personally wrote inscriptions, and recorded the return of Turks to the east and the resettlement of "Under Qianlong's instructions, the western Mongolian tribes and the local government of the Qing Dynasty received and assisted the Turks.
Qianlong specially assigned officials to coordinate and demarcate a place in the Bayingol steppe of Xinjiang's water and grass to resettle the Turk tribes, including the Bayinbrook mentioned in Shen Teng's "Flying Life"; since then, the Turks have settled here until today.
Now when you travel to Bayinbrook, you can taste the lamb of a black-headed sheep, which is a local specialty, and the coat color above the neck of the sheep is black. This kind of sheep is a unique breed brought back by the Turks when they returned to the east; the Mongolian herders who roasted meat are the descendants of the Turks of that year.
