Features: Discusses the establishment of the Tuergute Mongol pastoral khanate and the development of its political economy, with a particularly in-depth analysis of the great achievement of the Tuergute people in 1771, who, after overcoming countless hardships, reached the Ili River Basin. This great historical event of the Tuergute people returning to their ancestral homeland once again proves that the long-standing cohesion and centripetal force formed among the Chinese nation cannot be severed by any force. This book is the first academic monograph in China to systematically discuss this ethnic group and this historical event. It holds significant academic value for research in fields such as frontier history, ethnic history, and the history of Sino-Russian relations, and serves as a vivid teaching material for patriotic education.
