Summary

With its southern border finally pacified, the Qing Dynasty under its Kangxi Emperor must now contend with a rising challenge to the northeast: the ascent and enthronement of a real steppe wildcard, the chieftain Galdan, as reigning Khan of the Dzungar Mongols. Kangxi will strive to use him as he has used all other neighboring petty-potentates - as semi-disposable ablative armor for the soft innards of China proper under the longstanding guidelines of "Use The Barbarians to Deal With the Barbarians" foreign policy... but Galdan is mercurial enough to have ideas of his own, and friends in surprisingly high places (the Tibetan Highlands). Time Period Covered: ~1679-1684 CE Major Historical Figures: Great Qing: The Kangxi Emperor (Aisin Gioro Xuanye) [r. 1661-1722] The Lifan Yuan (Office of Barbarian Control) Dzungar Khannate: Galdan, the Boshugtu Khan [r. 1679-1697] Other Mongols: Erdeni Qosuuci Morgen Alana Dorji Lobzang Gunbu Labdan Batur Erke Jinong [d. 1709] Prince Gandu Lamist Tibet: The Fifth Dalai Lama, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso [1617–1682] Russian Empire: Count Fedor Alekseevich Golovin [1650-1706] Major Works Cited: Munkh-Erdene, Lamsuren.
