察合台系蒙古诸王集团与明初关西诸卫的成立

Tuqtai Mongolian Khandoms and the Early Ming Authorities in the West Regions

元世祖忽必烈时期,察合台汗国发生分裂,以出伯家族为首的部分察合台后王在元朝扶持下,形成了另一个察合台兀鲁思。直至明朝初年,这一察合台后王集团仍是嘉峪关外的实际统治者,明初的关西诸卫,主要是由与该集团转化而来。诸卫之上还设有两个王号,目的是利用该集团察合台正统的政治资源,使西陲平稳过渡到明朝统治之下。

After the split of the Tuqtai khandom during the reign of Bozigin Kublai, a new Tuqtai Urus was formed by the Chubai clan and was the effective ruler of the western regions beyond the Jiayu Pass. It later transformed itself into a military fortress under the Ming Dynasty and realized a peaceful transition of dynasties.
