Siberia, Russia, has three large rivers that flow from south to north and eventually join the Arctic Ocean, the Ob River in the west, the Lena River in the east, and the Yenisei River in the middle.
The Yenisei River has two sources, generally the Little Yenisei River, which originates on the west side of Lake Kusugul, the northernmost part of Mongolia. The Yenisei River flows north of the Tangnu Ulyan Sea, then crosses the Sayan Ridge and joins the Abakan River, continuing north via Krasnoyarsk. The ancient name of the Yenisei River on the mainland was very domineering Sword River (also known as the Qian River), and near Abakan, there was an active tribe called the Knotbone, also known as the Gangs.

Gongjia was very active during the Tang Dynasty, and hundreds of years before the Western Han Dynasty, he was called Huankun, which is the name of the "Shiji", and the "Book of Han" called Jiankun. Jiankun is not a tribe on the steppe, the area of activity is mainly mountainous, and there is a neighbor on the steppe, which is the Xiongnu.
Around 200 BC, when Liu Bang finally defeated Xiang Yu, the Xiongnu were already a powerful force in the world. The Siege of Baiden, who had scared Liu Bang to death, conquered Jiankun. In 60 BC, after the death of the Xiongnu Wanlu Shan Yu, the Xiongnu were divided into the Southern Xiongnu and the Northern Xiongnu, and Zhidan became the first generation of the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yu. The division of the Xiongnu was a disaster for Jiankun, and the Southern Xiongnu was good to say, dealing with the Han Dynasty. The Northern Xiongnu were located in the northern part of the Mongolian plateau, and in order to survive, they had to annex the surrounding tribes. Jian Kun was targeted by Zhi Shan Yu and moved the royal tent of the Northern Xiongnu to Jian Kun.
After that, Jiankun held a rule of survival: whoever conquered the plateau, Jiankun followed whomever he wanted. From the humble people in the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Turks of the Sui Dynasty, the Jiankun people have come this way for hundreds of years.
Emperor Taizong of Tang unified the Central Plains and defeated the powerful Eastern Turks, and Jiankun, who lived far away in northern Mobei, certainly knew what to do. In the sixth year of Zhenguan (632 AD), Wang Yihong, the lieutenant of Yanshi County, was ordered to send an envoy to Jiankun. The Tang Dynasty defeated the Eastern Turks, but due to historical conditions, it was impossible to set up counties on the Mongolian plateau, and could only be ruled by local tribes. That is, it is possible that the Turks will make a comeback. So what to do? It is only possible to contact the tribes around the Turks and win them over in a bondage way. Jiankun is in the northern part of the Turks, and once the direction of the Turks changes, Jiankun can stab the Turks in the back.
In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan (648 AD), the leader of Jiankun, Qu Chen Zhan, personally went south to Chang'an to pay tribute, which was actually to be done by the officials. "Please Your Majesty give me an official to do it, and it is the luck of the Jiankun people to be able to return with a wat." At the welcome banquet, Emperor Taizong said that Jiankun was one of his most important gains after defeating the Eastern Turks. In order to stabilize Jiankun, Emperor Taizong set up the Jiankun Governor's Mansion and implemented bondage management.
The Jiankun Governor's Mansion is at the same level as the Heishui Jingqi, Murwei, Khitan, Xi and other tribes. The tribe that can make the Tang Dynasty give the treatment of the capital governor must have a considerable scale in strength. When Jiankun was strong, there were hundreds of thousands of troops and more than 80,000 troops. If you count the people or slaves who can take up arms to fight, the strength can reach 300,000. Such a strong strength would obviously make Emperor Taizong look at Jian Kun. The governor of Jiankun was the king of Jiankun, and he did not need to pay taxes to the Tang Dynasty, as long as Jiankun could contain the Turks.
The jurisdiction of the Jiankundu Governor's Office was large, stretching north to the Kara Sea (then called Xiaohai) and to the north was Novaya Zemlya. The southern boundary is about Tangnu Mountain on the Russian-Mongolian border, the western boundary is about in present-day Omsk, Russia, and the eastern boundary is about the area north of Ust-Ilimsk, Russia.
Jiankun was very important for the Tang Dynasty to contain the Turks, but the Tang Dynasty also realized that once Jiankun was made strong enough to annex the Turks, Zhikun would become a major disaster for the Tang Dynasty in the north. Even if Zhikun did not go south to annex the Turks, it would be very convenient to attack the Western Regions. The Turks in the north, Tubo in the southwest, and Anxidufu in the west, which are all important strategic directions of the Tang Dynasty, cannot be abandoned. In 702, the dying Empress Wu Zetian divided the Anxi Dufu into two, and established the Beiting Du Fu from the north of the Tianshan Mountains to the south of the Altai Mountains, with its seat in Tingzhou (east of Urumqi, Xinjiang). Wu Zetian set up the Beiting Capital Protectorate, in addition to focusing on the defense of the Turks, it was to defend against the attempts of Zhukun to the Western Regions. After Emperor Xuanzong of Tang came to the throne, he set up an envoy to the Northern Court, which was to defend against the Turks and Jiankun.
However, Jian Kun did not seem to have much ambition to expand his territory, and when the Tang Dynasty was strong, Jian Kun had no ideas, and the Tang Dynasty had an earth-shattering Anshi Rebellion, and Jian Kun still had his heart for the Tang Dynasty. When the Tang army and the An Shi rebels fought fiercely and suffered heavy losses in military horses, they sent a signal for help to the Jiankundu Governor's Office, hoping to get a large number of horses to replenish the army. Jian Kun immediately sent a large number of horses to the Tang army, making a special contribution to the Tang Dynasty's quelling of the Anshi Rebellion.
The location of Jiankun is northerly, and the living conditions are not as good as those of the Mongolian plateau. Jiankun's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty does not mean that he has no ideas about the Mongolian plateau. After the demise of the Later Eastern Turks, Hui dominated the desert. Jiankun made a tributary to Hui, and Hui was a courtier to the Tang Dynasty, and Jiankun maintained a tributary relationship with the Tang Dynasty with this indirect relationship. After the decline of Hui Su during the reign of Emperor Wenzong of Tang, Jian Kun did not hesitate to destroy Hui and become the master of the desert, which was five years after Kaicheng (850 AD). At this time, Jiankun was already the most powerful tribe in the north of the Tang Dynasty. It extends to the Arctic Ocean in the north, the Irtysh River and Zaisangbo in the west, Hulun Lake in the east, and the border between Mongolia and Inner Mongolia in the south. As above, such a large Jiankun still insisted on maintaining a vassal relationship with the declining Tang Dynasty.
Jiankun was known as Jiankun by the Tang Dynasty until Emperor Suzong of Tang (758-760), and later as Jiankasi. Why is that? During the Qian Yuan period, Jiankun was conquered by Hui and broke off relations with the Tang Dynasty. When Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Jia Yan compiled the "Description of the Four Yi Roads of the Ancient and Modern Counties", he could not contact Jiankun, and listened to the description of the Hui Lu messenger, calling him Huangjiasi.
After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Qiangsi became the Governor of the Liao population, the Qibegis of the Jin population, and the Yuan Dynasty was called Kilijisi. It was none other than the first Mongol khan, Genghis Khan Temujin, who destroyed Kirghis in 1218 AD.
From Khankun to Chojias, from Chojisi to Kirghis, and then to Temujin's young son Tow Mine were sealed here and became part of Mongolian history.
The Cyprus as a regime was wiped out, but the Cyanos did not disappear. There is a neighboring country in the northwest of the mainland, Kyrgyzstan, the main ethnic group is the Kyrgyz people, and in the mainland it is called the Kirgiz people, and the two are homologous. And the ancestors of the Kyrgyz (Kirgiz people) are the Gangis (Jiankun).
