History
The
Uriyangkhai
at the battle of Dalan Terqin in 1510.
In 1624,
Empress Xiaozhuangwen (1613–88) and Empress Xiaohuizhang (1641–1717), were the Khorchin-Borjigins.[5]
The Khorchins were further divided into two wings (north and south), each with
three Banners.[6]
Due to the anti-Mongol rebellion among
Japanese Empire occupied parts of Inner Mongolia and all of Manchuria in 1931, the Khorchins leaders became the puppets of the Japanese Empire. After World War II rural class struggle and the civil war of 1946–48 were very bloody and divisive. Since then they have been a powerful faction within Inner Mongolia's Chinese Communist Party
apparatus.
