Jinkhene Tsereg Uls

The Jinkhene Tsereg Uls is a Khanate located within the Xinjiang region of western China, presiding over the Jonggar and Tarim basins. It is a nation dominated politically by the Dzungar Mongols and the Oirat expat Jebeinoyan Clan, which migrated to the lands roughly twenty years ago. The national religion is Gelug Buddhism, but the majority of the population comprises of Islamic Uyghurs. The current Kagan the Tsereg Uls-Kagan, or more informally known as Toulin Jebeinoyan. The nation has it's roots in turmoil, yet endures into the future with the dream of properly modernizing itself. 
== Early Histories - Era of Formation ==
It was in the Mongolian SpringThe "Mongolian Spring" or "Mongol Spring" was the Jebeinoyan revolution against the Japanese-led Toyotomi Dynasty of Mongolia. It was a failure and resulted in status-quo rule of the land. that the Jebeinoyans first arose to prominence. Originally a lower-ranked clan within the Mandakh Army, they married into the leading Boroghul Clan and have since inherited much of its legendary blood. While the modern Boroghuls have seemingly either migrated from Mongolia or fractured, the Jebeinoyans held a continuous and influential presence up until the Japanese invasionThe Japanese steadily conquered Mongolia over the course of 10 years or so, even renaming the great Mongol city of Xilingol to "Nishikyoto". During the midst of this invasion, the former head of the Jebeinoyan Clan--Taichi Jebeinoyan--steadily amassed an army and called to stand in resistance against the Toyotomi DynastyThe Japanese clan which took control over Mongol lands as directed by the Japanese government., which had been steadily encroaching upon Mongolia with the backing of the Japanese Government. They inevitably failed, their archaic army being unable to properly fight against a modernized force using antiquatedl Mongol war tactics and weaponry. During the "Mongol Spring", half of the clan was slaughtered all while the other half fled to the west under Taichi's younger cousin Inancha Jebeinoyan and Yasavur, a close friend of Inancha's who held no clan name.
The Jebeinoyans continued their flight until eventually reaching the lands of the Jonggar Basin, which extended past the omnipresent hand of the Japanese Empire. It was within these lands that they first encountered the scattered Dzungar TribesMongols native to the steppe of the Jonggar Basin, considered related to the nearby Oirats. They speak a similar language, however are primarily Tibetan Buddhist rather than the traditional Mongol Tengri.. After months of careful negotiations and compromises headed by Yasavur, the tribes collectively agreed to hold Kurultai wherein the first Uls-Kagan, Inancha Jebeinoyan, was chosen. It was a brief period past that decision that a united Dzungar army befell the Uyghur fortress of Ürümqi and subjugated it, making it the seat of the new Dzungar Kagan UlsThe first name of the nation under Inancha Kagan..
== Initial Expanisons - Era of the Uls-Kagan ==
Once the city of Ürümqi was conquered, four of the twelve Dzungar tribes settled within its walls. These tribes began to be colloquially known as the 'Four Settled Tribes," and became semi-governors across different sections of the city. The eight remaining tribes organized themselves into the "Eight Warbanners of Dzungaria", and continued their nomadic lifestyles by migrating across the surrounding lands all while acting as a mobile force of conquest. The most influential of these banners was the Chapar Banner, headed by Bannerhead Sakhebataar ChaparExtremely influential Dzungar, and later Ulamjlal Kagan of the Ulamjlal Uls. Fought against Toulin Jebeinoyan in the Dain Akh.. The war banners, under direction of the Uls-Kagan, led the conquest of the Jonggar Basin up to the northern Altai Mountains and southern Tianshan Range. It was then that the first Kyrgyz War began, leading to the elimination of the Amarjabaal Clan and the weakening of the Uls-Kagan's powerbase. This war also exposed the underlying problems with the nation as a whole, in that they floundered in wars against actually civilized states. It was also around this time that the capital city of ürümqi was renamed to a more Mongol name, being öröchi. 
Shortly after this, the remaining seven war banners of Dzungaria marched south into the Tarim basin and subjugated the region. The Tarim basin brought forth substantial land gains for the Kagan Uls, but otherwise didn't offer much else. Seeing a need to acquire more weaponry, the nation began a campaign to raid expired armories around the state of Gansu in order to acquire their weaponry for the Uls. These Su raids were often personally led by the Uls-Kagan and a band of roughly 500 elite Dzungar warriors. The Su began to refer to these forces as "Luse Toujin", meaning "Green Turban" in reference to the face coverings used by the warriors to mask their identities. They communicated purely in clicks and hand signs, refusing to use the Mongol language which might've brought Dzungaria into a potential war against the Gansu state.
Subsequently, the Second Kyrgyz war began--in which yet another war banner was lost. This time, the Uls-Kagan went missing during the midst of conflict--leading to Sakhebataar Chapar taking charge and heading the Hearing of Bishkek, wherein the Kyrgyz Republic was formally defeated and the Kyrgyz Kagan Uls was instated under Aslan Chapar; Nephew of Sakhebataar Chapar. The Uls-Kagan's absence in this hearing was noted, but he would never appear againReferring to the mysterious death and disappearance of the first Kagan, the Uls-Kagan. Also known less formally as Inancha Jebeinoyan, cousin of Taichi Jebeinoyan.. 
During this timeframe, the son of Inancha Jebeinoyan--Toulin JebeinoyanAdoptive son of Inancha Jebeinoyan, and third Kagan of the Uls. Referred to as the Tsereg Uls-Kagan, originally of Manchu birth.--would go on a personal pilgrimage to the city of Xilingol. Or, as the Toyotomi called it, Nishikyoto. He would stay and live within this city for a year before at last returning to Orochi and discovering that the Kagan Uls had gone without official Kagan for an entire year, being under the jurisdiction of the sickly Yasavur. Yasavur during the era of the Uls-Kagan served as his most trusted advisor and friend, but unfortunately due to his advanced age could not directly serve as a stand-in for Inancha for long. Toulin would then go on a two year long journey across Kazakhstan, Western Siberia, and Caucasia--before discovering a lone grave by the banks of the Volga belonging to Inancha Jebeinoyan. It is unknown how or why he died, and whom buried him. Upon Toulin's return however, he found a very different state from what he left behind.
== Dain Akh - "Brother War"/Era of the Ulamjlal Kagan ==
Upon his return, Toulin discovered that Yasavur had dearly passed and the state had been usurped by a Luddite Government. This government was referred to as the Ulamjlal UlsThe second government of the Uls, headed by the usurper Sakhebataar Chapar., and was headed by the Ulamjlal Kagan--Sakhebataar Chapar. During the two years of their reign, they fought tooth and nail for the restoration of the traditional Dzungar way and attempted to reverse any and all progressions made under the Uls-Kagan. This led to general distrust amongst the more modernized Settled Tribes, and the five remaining war banners--hereby known as the "Ulamjlal Banners". Toulin later approached these four settled banners in a contesting move to the Ulamjlal, and would successfully recruit their aid against the Luddite Ulamjlal. They would. choose him as Kagan by Kurultai, and form the Jinkhene Kagan TseregThe first name of the Jinkhene Tsereg Uls, or the third government of the Uls. This name fell out of favor after the Dain Akh.--and Toulin was named the Tsereg Uls-KaganThe third Kagan of the Uls. Toulin Jebeinoyan.. What followed would be a brutal war between the Ulamjlal and Tsereg forces, culminating in the mass death of 3/4 of the Dzungar population and capturing of Sakhebataar Chapar.
Sakhebataar would later be killed during a Bokhiin BarildaanTraditional Mongol wrestling match, but also in reference to Mongol Duels. They were typically held by two parties in order to settle any form dispute, whether that be leadership or land. Typically non-fatal, but lethal ones have been recorded such as the legendary one between Toulin Jebeinoyan and Sakhebataar Chapar., where he would be shot through the head and dispatched instantly. An anti-climactic end to the once great but now withered warrior and usurper Kagan.
== Era of the Tsereg Uls-Kagan ==
This is the third era of the Uls, and one marked by the modernization of the state. Following the solidification of his power as the third Kagan, the Tsereg Uls-Kagan would lead the charge and establish numerous new government agencies to help govern the nation. These would include but not be limited by a state police force, bureaus of agriculture, islamic relations, economics, and an advisory council--as well as the construction of roads all across the nation. These roads connected the various settlements of the Jonggar and Tarim basins for the first time in centuries, allowing for the formation of a basic non-industrial economy in the region. These funds and economics would also foster the dispersal of the remaining Dzungar population across the northern and southern green regions of Jonggar, as well as the valleys of the Tianshan mountain range wherein numerous farms and settlements would begin to form. These farms would primarily raise native grains and foodstuffs, as well as imported Indian wheat. The bureau of Agriculture would regularly educate farmers on how to properly adapt to the more sedentary life, and how to raise their crops properly. 
This dispersion had the secondary affect of making the islamic Uyghurs an undisputed majority within the country, wherein the Tsereg Uls-Kagan would spearhead their proper political integration within the state in order to avoid any form of ethnic tensions arising. This would result in the aforementioned Bureau of Islamic RelationsA largely independent government agency which handles all issues and disputes of Islamic nature, as well as controlling all Islamic organizations within the Uls. , in which the islamic scholar and priest Adil Ekin The first Alkahin Alakbir.would be named the "Alkahin AlakbirThe leader of the B.I.R, a title typically chosen by the Kagan but also could be elected by the most influential of Muslim priests in the Uls. ", and lead the B.I.R. To counter the potential political power of the Alkahin Alakbir, a counter position of "BogdLeader of all Buddhist organizations within the Uls. Typically chosen by the Kagan, but can also be elected by the most prominent Buddhist figures within the nation." was also established within the state. This position would entail leadership of all Buddhist monasteries and organizations within the country, and the first to hold the title would be a Dzungar priest by the name of Urusiin BorThe first Bogd of the Uls..
