Description
A large part of the Mongolian tribes has remained unwilling to accept the sovereignty of the Yuan Dynasty who lived mainly to the West side of the Baikal lake and to the North of the Altai. Those Mongolians called 'Oirat' were strangers to the turmoil that shook Genghis Khan's heirs and which led to the expulsion of the last Yuan emperor in 1638, nevertheless they still represented a power to be reckoned with. Their leader, Esen Toghan Tayisi, began conquering scattered tribes in 1434, and then unified Mongolia under his power.Actions

During a military operation in 1449 to the North-West at the Mongolian border, Emperor Zhu Qizhen (Yingzong) was captured by Esen Tayisi's men, following a dreadful battle which is reported to have caused many deaths. However, Mongolians did not take advantage of their position to rush and conquer China. Yu Qian, the Chinese War Minister, rejected any negociation to free the illustrious prisoner. Eventually released in 1450, the Emperor had a bad surprise : indeed his brother Zhu Qiy (Shizong) had in the meanwhile arranged his coronation. The dethroned Emperor consequently exchanged his prison for another.Actions

Description
The last Oirat monarch only led a handful of tribes. When he died in 1470, the Mongolian population was once again split up into dozens of clans fighting for power, cattle, or lands. Western Mongolians threw off the last remains of the Oirat yoke and joined Great Khubilai Khan's descendants. An exceptional woman, Mandukhai Khatun, took under her wing one of the few survivors of Gengis Khan's lineage, Batu-Möngke. She put him on the throne, expelled the Oirats from Mongolia, and took on the role of regent. When he reached the age of 18, Batu-Möngke married his adoptive mother and titled himself the Dayan Khan. His reign was incredibly long and allowed Mongolia to enjoy its first period of peace and prosperity since the fall of the last Yuan emperor.Actions

Description
The Buriats formerly lived in tribes whose members were in majority blood-related. A prince reigned at the head of each tribe and his power was handed down from generation to generation. The lands were at everyone's disposal, but the cattle was private property. A group of leading princes gradually stood out and got the upper hand over minor princes, who were already exploiting the poorest masses. This resulted, during the XVIIth century, in a Buriat evolution from the communal system to the feudal one.Actions

Description
During the XVIIth century, Russian ambassador Starkoff brought back some tea to the tzar, thereby starting a profitable trade between Russia and China. Tea soon became the most popular beverage in Russia and was conveyed along the caravans trading road, which has become part of history under the name of « Great Tea Road ». When the town of Kiakhta was founded, it grew into the biggest wholesale trading center between Asia and Russia as well as a part of Eastern Europe. Tea was carried to Irkutsk, which became a junction for commercial roads between Europe and Asia, then across the Buriat territory and Baikal lake. The caravan would usually peregrinate for more than one year. From Irkutsk, tea was sent out to the markets in Tobolsk, Tiumen, Nijni Novgorod and many other towns, before eventually being dispatched throughout Russia. The Great Tea Road was 9 to 10 000 km long, and held the second place for its turnover, directly following the Silk Road.Actions
