⭐ Core Definition: Darayisung Gödeng Khan

Guden Khan (Mongolian: Гүдэн Хаан; Chinese: 庫騰汗), who was born Daraisung (or Darayisung; Mongolian: Дарайсун; Chinese: 打來孫), (c. 1520–1557) was a khagan of the Northern Yuan dynasty, reigning from 1547 to 1557. He was the eldest son of Bodi Alagh Khan, whom he succeeded as khagan.

During his rule, Altan Khan, who led the Tümed Mongols at the time, became more powerful and also more disrespectful of the power of the Great Khan. Daraisung Khan was unable to achieve victory in the conflicts that arose from this. Altan Khan eventually forced Daraisung Guden Khan to flee eastward. Four years later in 1551, Daraisung made a compromise with Altan accepting Altan's leadership in exchange for giving the title "Gegeen Khan" to him. As a result, Daraisung Guden Khan was forced to relocate his imperial court to the east near Manchuria, and the power of the Great Khan began to decline. Although most Mongol nobles still recognized the Great Khan as the leader, it was in name only and two Borjin nobles declared themselves as khans of their own territories during this period.

👉 Darayisung Gödeng Khan in the context of Tumen Zasagt Khan

Zasagt Khan (Mongolian: Засагт Хаан; Chinese: 扎薩克圖汗), born Tümen (Mongolian: Түмэн; Chinese: 圖們) (1539–1592), was a khagan of the Northern Yuan dynasty, reigning from 1558 until his death in 1592. He succeeded Darayisung Gödeng Khan and ruled directly over the Chahar. During his reign, the Mongols conquered the Daur and Evenk tribes.

Zasagt Khan was the first of three sons of Darayisung Gödeng Khan. His authority was validated by Altan Khan, and he later coordinated Altan's actions to win over the Uriyangkhai and Daur Mongols. His relatives, Abtai Khan and Khutughtai Sechen Khung Taiji, brought a significant portion of the Four Oirats back into the Mongol fold. In addition to conducting successful raids against the Ming dynasty, Zasagt Khan conquered Koko Nur and appointed his son as its ruler.
