Galdan Tseren

Birth date unknown, died 1745 CE

Galdan Tseren was a Choros-Oirat prince and the Khong Tayiji of the Dzungar Khanate from 1727 until his death in 1745. Galdan Tseren possessed a powerful army of 80–100,000 cavalrymen, all armed with firearms and with sufficient mounts. He also developed his own small military industry with the help of captured officers like the Swedish Johan Gustaf Renat. But the base of Galdan Tseren's finances lay in the profits gained from his control of the trade route between Russia and Qing dynasty, the well known Tea Road, along which valuable Chinese products flowed to Moscow. Galdan Tseren died in 1745, the Dzungar Khanate that he had strengthened would fall prey to a succession dispute among his three sons, and would later be defeated and subject to genocide by the Qing Qianlong Emperor.
