喀尔喀三汗的登场

The Ascendancy of Three Khans of the Khalkha Mongol Tribe

喀尔喀万户长阿巴泰于1580年称"赛音汗",喀尔喀蒙古始有汗号。第一代"土谢图汗"是阿巴泰孙衮布。1596年,被阿巴泰立为汗的喀尔喀右翼长赉瑚尔汗之子素班第被推举为"扎萨克图汗",成为第一代扎萨克图汗。第一代"车臣汗"为硕垒,出现在1630年前后。喀尔喀先后有了三位大汗,全喀尔喀也随之分裂为三个汗部。喀尔喀三部长期割据,为日后清朝的逐一统一提供了客观条件。

Abatai,the Myriach of the Khalkha Mongol Tribe,claimed the title of Sayin Khan in 1580.He was the very first headman of the Khalkha Mongol Tribe who carried the title of Khan,while his grandson Gunbu became the first Tushiyetu Khan.Abatai also designated Laikhur,the headman of the right wing of the Khalkha Tribe,to be the khan.Then,Laikhur's son Subandi was elected the first Jasagtu Khan in 1596.Sechen Khan came into existence around 1630.The first Sechen Khan was Sholoi.Three great Khans appeared within the Khalkha Mongol Tribe successively;accordingly the Khalkha Mongol Tribe was divided into three Khanates.During the reign of Abatai Khan,the Khalkha Myriach was seemingly becoming a united khanate.It was,however,never unified after Abatai's death and the division of the Khalkha Tribe into right and left wings.The threefold division paved the way for the Manchus' unification of the Khalkha Mongol Tribe in the later period.
