Hanpu originally came from the Heishui Mohe tribe of Balhae. Acc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Khorchin Mongols
The Khorchin (, ''Horchin''; ''Qorčin''; ) are a subgroup of the Mongols that speak the Khorchin dialect of Mongolian and predominantly live in northeastern Inner Mongolia of China.

However, he was killed by them in Ejene in 1438 and his tribe was forced to flee southward.
