Khara Khula -, different spelling, among other things Qara Qula Ba'atur Qungtayiji, (born 16 century, † 1634) was a prince ( Tayiji ) of Oirat and reigned about 1600-1634 He came from the Khoros, which in the 15th century. Oirat rulers had placed and settled in the Altai region. His association took little later in competition with the Mongol vassals of the Qing Dynasty, the name Dzungars ( Jüün Ghar ), ie left wing and is also frequently noted under this term.
Since the late 15th century Oirat were repeatedly displaced by the Mongols, as the most aggressive tribe coalesce out of the Khalka after about 1580. The Oirat were living along the Irtysh and the Altai scattered and were very fragmented, so that some leaders temporarily had to submit their neighbors ( Mongolians, Kazakhs, Russians ), or at least sought support from them. In the early 17th century were Scholoi - Ubashi Altan Khan (r. 1586-1627 ) and his son Ombo Erdeni Altan Khan (r. 1627-1651 ) of the Khalka in several loss-making conflicts to the main opponent of the Oirat.
Part of the Oirat (especially Khu Urluk of the Torghuud ) decided to emigrate, while another turned against the Khalka. To 1606-09 they achieved a success against the Altan Khan and displaced him back from the Khovd region. But 1614/15 they were forced due to a loss-making winter and a renewed attack pay tribute or to flee. In 1616/17 the Oiratenführer gathered around her titular head Baibagas († about 1630, of the Khoshuud ), decided to inner peace and a renewed crackdown on the Khalka. But due to the internal rivalries of the success was initially denied. Khara Khula - examined in 1620 with a mission to help Russia against the Khalka, and got the invitation to submit to the Tsar, but no help. Dissatisfied with this response, he participated in raids against renewed Russian outpost ( 1622). In the 1620s an army of 16,000 Khoshuud, Khoros 6,000 and 14,000 Dörböd, Khoit and Torghuud was arrayed against the Khalka, but fighting against the Altan Khan went in 1623 in a draw, despite many prisoners Khara- Khula also lost a lot of people. After another unsuccessful struggles of Altan Khan could be 1628/9 finally defeated, and part of the Oirat returned to the Dschungarei.
The success, however, was only apparent, because in spite of the threat of Khalka came the Oirat 1625-30 in a serious tribal conflict. Your titular head Baibagas, the Tayishi the Khoshuud was attacked by his brother Chokur in a dispute over inheritance and defeated. The other leaders, especially Dalay - Bagatur († 1637 ) from the Dörböd and Khara Khula attempted to mediate in the interests of unity, but had no success. Ultimately, the resolution of the Oirat Confederation continued and Khara- Khulas son and successor Khungtaidschi Batur (r. 1634-1653 ) had on Imil 1640 or in the Seven Rivers country a new state form.
