Popis: There are many facts related to the history of Mongolian migration and settlement. One of them is the Great Migration of the Torguds, which took place 254 years ago. Today is a historic day to commemorate the great migration of the Torguds. Uvsh Khan gathered 80,000 troops and announced that he would move towards Dzhungar, and gave them the task of capturing all the rears living along the banks of the Izhili River. On January 5, 1771, on the night before the great migration, a terrible snowstorm broke out and the ice of the Izhyl river broke, and the whales living on the west coast could not obey the khan’s orders and remained there. This great migration of the Torguds lasted for 7 months and covered 4,000 km. They were weakened and died from many bloodshed wars and starvation, and only 125000 of the 400000 Torguds set foot in Dzhungar Gobi. At least all the wells on their way were poisoned. The Manchu king welcomed them with a festive atmosphere and divided Dzungar Gobi into 10 provinces and subjugated them to Torguds. 15,000 households or about 70,000 Torguds remained on the west bank of the Izhyl River
